Trivia[]

  • This is the first episode...
    • ...where Linphea and Miele appear.
    • ...where Flora uses her Fairy Dust.
    • ...in which Nabu has a speaking role.
      • This is also one of the rare times where Flora displays any aggression and does so twice (punches Darcy in the face really hard and angrily summons plants to swallow up the Trix).
  • This episode marks the last appearance of...
    • ...Flora's Winx form and transformation sequence.
    • ...Stella's Ring of Solaria in its scepter form, since this is the final time in the series Stella is seen using the scepter when she teleports the Winx and herself to Linphea.
  • Darcy may have been a good student when she went to Cloud Tower as she aced one of Griffin's lessons on "How to Destroy a Perfect Environment".
  • When Aisha mentions how the storm harpies only exist in stories, Flora mentions “Well, some people think the same thing about us.”

Difference Between Adaptations[]

Since 4Kids TV aired Season 3 earlier than planned, many scenes from this episode were unfinished and were later re-edited for the final RAI release:

  • Miele's name is changed to Rose in the 4Kids version.
  • This is one of the only episodes that the 4Kids version has the Fairy Dust sequence in the series.
  • Aisha is seen attacking in a shot reused from "Fury!".
  • The sage's advice for collecting the water comes in the form of a riddle, which the Winx recall after being reminded by Miele.

Mistakes[]

  • As Valtor holds Stormy's new powers in his hands, his glove is missing.
  • When Stormy is about to travel to Linphea and Icy argues with her, Stormy's leggings/stockings were briefly missing.
  • In the Nickelodeon version, when the Winx transform while traveling on the giant leaf, Flora is seen transforming with the Winx, but then is seen closely protecting Miele in her civilian outfit, after the harpies are defeated, Flora is seen with her Winx outfit on again.
  • When the Winx transform on the giant leaf, Bloom's crown disappeared while she was talking to Flora.
    • At the same time, Flora's necklace has a hole.
    • After a while, Flora is back to her civilian even though she had transformed with the others.
  • While holding onto Miele, Bloom's gloves are present but her hand is colored the same color as her gloves.
  • In one scene, Bloom’s wings are missing. Her gloves are also longer than normal.
  • When the Winx were attacked by the Trix, only Bloom's, Flora's and Musa's transformations were shown, but five shots after, you can see Tecna and Aisha transformed too.
    • However, this was fixed in 4Kids version where all the girls transformed together. 
  • When Bloom is trapped in Icy's spell, her crown in missing.
  • In one scene, after Bloom is trapped in Icy's spell, Darcy's eyebrows are missing.
  • When Musa is surrounded by Darcy and her clones, she has long side burns.

It then began weeping for its lost sister, the tears soon formed a puddle which then became a pond, flowing out of the cave and up the cliffside. Defying gravity and forming what is now known as the water stairway. ... Memories is what makes the Black Willow cry, that's why it's tears can reverse the flow of time and change what has happened.
