Stella worrying about everyone.

At Alfea, Stella is worried about the Winx and her father. As Stella relives that horrible day on her home planet, Griselda comes knocking.

Stella quickly turns the pixies and Kiko into the Winx to convince Griselda that they are still at Alfea.

At Alfea, another knock comes through Stella's door. It is Nova and her mother has some important, terrible news from Solaria regarding Stella. It is learned that Cassandra has put her iron fist into full throttle. She, her daughter and King Radius had just ended a conference. The conference's final conclusion is making Chimera crown princess, thus disinheriting Stella. When a chamberlain accosts the king, Cassandra rudely dismisses him and clarified that when she is queen she will deal harsh penalties for those who dare to defy towards her; making it clear she will defend her soon-to-be title and position at any cost.

The Winx swim to the bottom of the trench as living coral attacks them, then finding Queen Ligea's crown and reaching the Kraken's lair. Believed to be a legend by others, Tressa tells them that Valtor is using the Kraken to keep watch of her mother. They journey into the lair and the Kraken attacks them. It grabs Aisha and takes her into the depths of its lair. The Winx and Tressa chase after the Kraken and find Queen Ligea in a prison cell.

Aisha earns her Enchantix but is still blind.

As the Winx try to free Aisha, Tressa cuts off some of its tentacles freeing Aisha. They swim out of the lair and catch up to Queen Ligea. When Queen Ligea notices the blindness in Aisha's eyes, she reveals that the Coral Gem in her scepter can restore her sight. They hurry to the surface to catch the last rays of sunlight for the scepter. As the Winx swim up, the Kraken pursues them and they use convergence to seal off the cave. The cave starts to collapse and the Kraken breaks free. It impales Queen Ligea with one of its sharp tentacles and the Kraken retreats back to its lair.

Because of this, she receives her Enchantix but she is still blind.

Quotes[]

I think you should know that I didn't survive the fight against Valtor; I escaped instead. I failed as a warrior and as a daughter! My friends are fighting to protect the Queen and froze with fear!!

Tressa

Well, fear is a part of courage.

Aisha

Your majesty if I may, this is highly irregular! Your daughter is the princess by right of birth; it is against our law to deny her that title! ... Your majesty... can you hear me? ... Is this really your will? That Countess Cassandra rule in your place?

- A brave Solarian chamberlain asks Radius's own feelings about Cassandra.

I hate to be so rude to the hired help but I can't risk anyone intefering with our plans!! All this will soon be mine and I'll defend it tooth and nail!

I can't believe that sleazy Chimera took my place! If there were any doubts this proves that my father is under a spell!

Stella, confirms her suspicions.

Sweet princess, the magic coral in gem has healing powers. We can use it to give you back your sight. ... I can help you but we haven't much time. For the scepter to restore your sight the last rays of twilight must be gathered in its coral gem and then reflected into your eyes.

Ligea, explaining how the scepter can be used.

I don't think the coral gem has enough power for two healing spells. But don't worry Tressa, your mother will live!

Aisha, sacrificing her chance to restore her sight to heal Queen Ligea.
