Plot[]

708-1

Amarok and Squonk's socializing failure.

Helia and Nex attempt to dissuade their girlfriends from trying to set up a playdate with their respective Fairy Animals, saying it is too soon, though it is disagreed upon with the girls, who believe that now is just as good a time as any to do so. Though initially it works out well, Squonk quickly gets intimidated by Amarok's fangs, causing yet another setback. Nex makes disparaging remarks about the situation and Squonk's appearance when told off by Aisha, causing Squonk to cry and knock the boys down with its tears, which calms Squonk down. Amarok saw this as an opportunity to have fun, causing a big mess in the common area, frustrating Flora. Helia tries to diffuse her anger, though rather unsuccessfully. The rest of the Winx walk in on the situation with much confusion which Helia quickly dismisses, using his paper cranes to comfort Amarok, much to Flora's displeasure. The Winx proceed to Roxy's room for their latest mission: rescuing the Quillcat from the Middle Ages on Earth. Roxy emphasizes that its fur has magical properties. Bloom joyfully exclaims that it might be the fairy animal with the First Color of Magic Universe. Musa notes that Brafilius and Kalshara might be after this feline and Tecna further emphasizes that they need to save the quillcat before Brafilius manages to, especially since he stole Roxy's Stone of Memories.

708-2

Roxy informs the Winx of their next mission and also notes the quillcat's magical fur.

The Winx activate their stones and arrive in the Middle Ages. They are confused when the tree have wanted posters of the quillcat. As Aisha ponders while looking at the poster, the quillcat swiftly slices it. The Winx realize that it is the same fairy animal Roxy told them about but it runs off. Then, noises of people begin nearing the girls and they proceed to hide. It is revealed that the knights are trying to capture the cat who puts up a fight. When the Winx intervene, they learned from the knights that they were under orders to arrest all that are related to magic, which now includes them.

708-3

The quillcat defends itself.

The Winx however, dealt with them with ease. The knights run off but Musa notices the quillcat is gone. The girls search for the cat. Meanwhile, in their lair, Brafilius is playing with Roxy's Stone of Memories. The stone starts flashing and jumping around. Kalshara angrily reminds him that it means it has been activated. Her anger turns into rage when Brafilius failed to realize that (or rather, forgot) and did not alert her when it started flashing earlier. Kalshara demands he go and stop the Winx, though with little faith he will succeed. Brafilius activates the stone and travels to the Middle Ages.

708-4

Brafilius travels to the Middle Ages.

The Winx are still searching when Musa hears music and someone singing. She follows the sound and sees three actors and their donkey (the group is called Rainbow Company), practicing their play. The play talks about the goodness of fairies. The frightened knights who were chased off by the Winx also warns them of the dangerous quillcat and fairies that live in the forest. The lute player, Orlando, calms them down. He confidentially tells them they are not dangerous but they do not believe him. The actors then request the knights to be their fairies but only two of them are interested. The captain refuses and orders his team to return to the village.

708-5

Orlando knows the quillcat!

Orlando is asked by his colleague how he knew the cat is not dangerous, to which he responds that he the cat joins him whenever he plays his lute. Musa now knows who can help her locate the quillcat. Gathering that they still need actors to play the fairies, Musa hatches a plan, regroups with her friends, and tells them what she discovered. After Stella gives them medieval clothing, the girls approach the traveling actors and asks for Orlando's help in locating the quillcat under the pretense that they are interested in magical beings. It seems that both Orlando and Musa are smitten with each other. Orlando is willing to take the girls to the quillcat but his colleague intercepts to request a favor in return: be the fairies in their play. The girls accept and all of them travel to the village. As Musa and Orlando bond through music, the quillcat was listening from afar.

Aisha, reading aloud the Wanted poster message.

The quillcat is friendly! I know him. When I was young, it used to come visit me every time I sang my song.
