During the night of the shooting stars, the Winx make acquaintance with Twinkly, a Lumen coming from space.

The Specialists arrive at Alfea, and the two groups happily reunite.

The Winx hold a concert for the Alfea fairies in dedication to to the Lumen, but get quickly interrupted as the myserteous assailants make an appearance at Alfea, triggering the return of the Lumen's memories. The Winx engage in battle while the school staff quickly evacuate the rest of the students. They quickly realise however, that their powers are ineffective against the monsters, save for Stella whose light energy directly counteracts their dark powers. Bloom remembers the large burst of light previously released by the Lumen in their attempt to recover her memories, and gets Stella to energise the Lumen with more power. This allows her to push back against the mysterious assailants, driving them back from where they came. The Lumen recalls her reason for coming to Alfea: to request help from the Winx in defeating the enemies who drain the light of stars across the Magic Dimension, on behalf of Queen Dorana as her messenger. The Winx accept the delicate mission, heeding a warning from Headmistress Faragonda.
