Plot[]
In Wizgiz's class, he demonstrates how to counter a sound wave attack but Stella is unable to focus on the lesson as she is incredibly worried about Brandon. And so, to soothe their nerves, the girls ask Flora to brew them some relaxing tea. In Bloom and Flora's dorm the girls take about the mark on Sky. They are still unsure of what truly happened afterwards but Tecna assures that if she hears of anything, she will let them know immediately.
Valtor and the Trix have become unsatisfied with Andros as all the magic spells are taken, it has become a dull place. Icy suggests taking over Cloud Tower as it is crypt full of dark spells and history. Valtor sees this as a great place and the four head out to take it over. Disguising himself as a deer, and the Trix as wolves, they are let into Cloud Tower, and Valtor takes over by bewitching the girls and locking up Griffin. Under Valtor's power, he unleashes the attack on Alfea.
At Alfea, Faragonda suspects there is something wrong with the weather, and the other teachers suspect it too. The mind controlled witches start attacking Alfea, but with the barrier, they cannot attack the fairies. The barrier breaks due to the impact, Valtor challenges Faragonda and they fight in the forest. While the witches are attacking, all the Winx girls transform and, along with the other Alfea girls, defend their school against the witches. Stella shows Aisha where Faragonda is fighting Valtor. Aisha goes to help but Stella says that they are needed at Alfea and that Faragonda can handle herself.
They are then pushed back by an explosion causing them to wonder what happened. The Trix show up and says that he finished her off. Griselda rallies the girls to keep fighting while Palladium takes some of the Alfea students and creates a new barrier around the school. The Trix manage to get inside the barrier and try to find the Hall of Enchantments to get the spells. The Winx, except Aisha and Stella, and a couple of the other fairies, including Princess Galatea, patrol inside the school to prevent any witches from reaching the Hall of Enchantments.
Galatea finds the Trix first but she is forced to show them the Hall of Enchantments. She sends ultra-low frequency mental waves, which catches the attention of Bloom and Musa. Musa confirms that the sound waves were from Galatea, and that they are a way of communication they use on Melody and that she was in danger. As the Trix examine the books, a couple of books fall on them. Galatea tries to get away but Icy freezes her and breaks her wings with a snap of her fingers.
The Winx come in, and fight off the Trix. Musa helps Galatea, who is still in shock over losing her wings, get away. Darcy sets the library on fire and the Trix leave. Flora tries to put the fire out with leaves but they burn up. Bloom tries to use reverse magic and make the fire come to her, but the magic is too strong for her.
The Winx get out but Galatea runs into the fire. She tries to collect the spell books because she does not want her wings to be lost for nothing. Musa runs in after her to save her before it was too late. She tries to get out but the heat is too much for her. Galatea tells her to leave her and get out but Musa refuses.
She receives her Enchantix and figures out that she can now stop the fire. With her Fairy Dust, she was able to stop the fire and get Galatea's wings back. The witches retreat back to Cloud Tower and Alfea is safe again. As they have won the battle, confusion and sadness clouds the place as Faragonda has disappeared.

Mistakes[]
- Griselda said in the last episode, for weakening the protective shield over Alfea in order to get back in from Eraklyon, the Winx would report to Faragonda's office and be punished the next day. However for some reason in this episode, they receive no punishment whatsoever.
- It is possible that the Winx did report to Faragonda's office offscreen, but Faragonda most likely understood about their situation on Eraklyon and their noble intent to arrive back in Alfea on time, so she may have felt that the matter disciplinary action was unnecessary and dropped the punishment.
- This would've been similar to how Faragonda understood and believed Bloom in "Honor Above All" about being kept awake by the voice of Daphne that lead to her sleeping in class, despite Griselda dismissing her excuses.
- Another possibility could be that the witches attacked before Griselda had the time to assign the Winx their punishment.
- It is possible that the Winx did report to Faragonda's office offscreen, but Faragonda most likely understood about their situation on Eraklyon and their noble intent to arrive back in Alfea on time, so she may have felt that the matter disciplinary action was unnecessary and dropped the punishment.
- After class, when the girls are talking, Flora's necklace is missing.
- When the Trix and Valtor were deciding where to shift, Stormy's tights are missing.
- When Stormy suggests Darkar's Fortress, for a few seconds she has no lips.
- As Valtor casts his spell onto the witches who helped his fawn-self, a girl resembling Icy is one of the witches he is placing the spell. Her outfit is also seemingly and completely wrong and it is in a dark red color. Also her hair is light pink.
- As Darcy stands with her hands on her hips her gloves are missing.
- As Tecna readies to attack the witches, one of the witches is strangely and mistakenly drawn as Ahisa.
- In some scenes, Musa's fabric on her Winx outfit is missing.
- Flora's gloves are the incorrect length while gathered at the base of her school's stairs.
- There are times where Galatea's hair ties are gold or black instead of white.
- In one scene, Stormy's stockings are missing.
- In one scene, Mirta's pink hair in her fairy form changes to blue.

- In one scene, Musa's headphones are missing.
- The library is accidentally referred to as "the Hall of Enchantments" which does not appear until next season.
- Also in a scene when the Trix showed up and Icy told Stella and Aisha that Valtor killed Faragonda, 4 witches are seemingly identical to 4 Alfea students dressed as their fairy forms, yet the wings were absent.

Quotes[]
“What about an ancient castle, full of history and dark, powerful spells? Something like the Cloud Tower Castle!”
“Mmm, the School for Witches... Very interesting... Ow!! It's defended by a spell the protects it from dark magic! Ironic, don't you think?”
“This is my school, Valtor. Get out of here!”
“Oh really? Weren't we once fighting side by side under the command of the three ancestors, the mothers of all witches? Together we studied the dark arts so we could rule with fear. We were going to conquer all the realms of the magical universe. Well, that is of course, until you escaped to join our worst enemies, Company of Light. At whose hands, I suffered a most bitter defeat.”
“ I only followed my conscience. I was trying to make up for the past mistakes!”
“You bewitched the girls from Cloud Tower!”
“You're getting old Faragonda. You would never have let anyone defeat you so easily in the past!”
“I may be old but I can still defend myself!”
“Griffin has fallen, and you're going down too!”
“Griffin will soon rise again and I'll stand by her.”
“Don't scatter girls. Stay close together and remember who you are. You are fairies and fairies don't fear witches. You girls follow Palladium.”
“No! My wings!”
“Alright then! If we can't have those secret books and scrolls, neither can you. ...BURN!!!”
“The secret spell codes! We have to save them, I don't want my wings to have been lost in vain!”
“No! NEVER! ...Huh?? W-what's happening?!”
“You brave girls. You saved all the books in the library. You saved my whole world. We can fix a little damage here and there, what matters most is that nothing is lost. Thank you so much.”
“We didn't do anything more than the other fairies. If we won today, it's because we all worked together!”
