Synopsis[]
In the depths of Andros, Aisha must be able to save Nex, who is in grave danger. Meanwhile, the other Winx try to prevent Obscurum and the Staryummies from taking away the light of Gorgol, but unfortunately they are imprisoned inside the star and attacked by some magical anemones.

Plot[]
The Winx in. battle.
The Winx attempt to stop the absorption of the star core's energy unsuccessfully, as Obscurum and the staryummies successfully escape with all of the core's energy. The surroundings darken consequently. At Valtor's palace, the staryummies give the stolen energy to Valtor who absorbs it and gains strength.
This raises a conundrum for the Winx to face as they cannot breathe underwater while using the Cosmix transformation, necessitating the use of Sirenix. Yet Sirenix powers are ineffective against their enemies and are incapable of reenergizing the core.
The Winx successfully restarting the core.
The Winx engage in battle after Obscurum tries to break the core, though the misfired attacks that hit the sides of the cave they are in. This causes the cave to close them in, and anemones start attacking the Winx, causing everyone but Aisha and Nex to faint. The couple notice Gorgol's Lumens escaping and chase after them. Thanks to the Lumens, they realise that their attacks aggrevated the situation, and what they have expereinced are natural reflexes. Aisha and Nex try to solve the problem, though fail as Aisha instead attacks the cave directly, causing Nex to get stung and faint. Aisha realises that the song the Lumens can sing are required to deactivate the safety mechanisms, and convinces the Lumens to sing it to allow the rest to be freed. The situation deescalates, though the girls still have yet to rekindle the core. Aisha comes up with an idea to surround the core with her Morphix, creating a pocket of air which will allow the Winx to go into Cosmix mode to use their special abilities to restart the core. Outside, They admire the star, which thanks them for restoring its powers.
Aisha and Nex share a tender moment.
Back on the surface, Aisha delivers her speech successfully, referencing the events of the episode as well. Aisha's parents congratulate their daughter, and signal Twinkly to start the celebration once again. Aisha and Nex leave the party to have a heart-to-heart, where Aisha thanks Nex for their support, and Nex reaffirms his care and support for the princess.
At Valtor's Palace, Valtor reprimands Obscurum for his failure to defeat the Winx, and sends him to another dimension as a form of torture. After the punishment, he tells Obscurum of his next plan to attack Hypsos, using the Hydra constellation as a tool.

- When using the spell, Cosmix Power, reused scenes from the previous usage can be seen from the third episode with some background alterations.
Easter Eggs[]
- The Winx (sans Aisha) and Nex getting put into sleep by the anemones is probably a reference to the third movie where the Winx were put into a coma in the Oblivion.
- Bloom calling out the transformation phrase "Winx Cosmix" is a reference to the older seasons where the Winx usually call out their transformation phrase "Winx Enchantix" and "Winx Believix" respectively.
Mistakes[]

- As Stella gets stung by the anemones, she has Bloom's translucent frills.
