Recap / Winx Club S 5 E 26 The End Of Tritannus

Go To

As Bloom, Flora, Nereus, and Serena pursue Tritannus, the rest of the Winx and their allies defend the Pillar of Light from Tritannus' mutant merpeople army. Bloom has Flora remain behind to help them while she and Nereus go after his brother. Tritannus had also taken Aisha prisoner to use his cousin's Sirenix power to activate the Emperor's Throne.

At the throne, Tritannus locks up Aisha with Daphne and activates the throne. As he's imbued with the throne's power, it causes him to grow and become more malevolent, but it also causes him to lose all reason of common sense or smarts, turning him into a power-hungry monster as he even attacks Icy, who is saved by Darcy and Stormy, but a combined attack from the Trix is no match for Tritannus, and he blasts them away to parts unknown in the Infinite Ocean.

Meanwhile, Tritannus' power boost causes his mutant army to stop fighting and head for Andros, being pursued by the rest of the Winx and Princess Tressa, along with the Winx's Selkie partners. At the palace, Aisha's parents, King Teredor and Queen Niobe make their way to the highest turrets of the castle to escape the rising waters, but when they find themselves trapped and confronted by some of the mutant mer-people, the Winx arrive to rescue them and Stella provides a means to transport them to safety for the time being before the palace is completely underwater. The Winx soon head to reinforce Roy and the mermaid guards who were severely outnumbered by their mutated brethren.

Back at the Emperor's Throne, Bloom and Nereus are having a hard time with Tritannus, until they realize that if they destroy his trident, his powers will be destroyed as well. Nereus manages to disarm his brother of his weapon, and Bloom destroys it with her Sirenix spell before Tritannus can reclaim it. With his trident destroyed, all of Tritannus' pollution-induced spells are undone: Aisha and Daphne are released from their bonds, the two mutant guards turn back into Queen Ligea and King Neptune, allowing Nereus to reunite with his parents, and all of them confront Tritannus as he grumbles at having killed them all when he had the chance before reverting painfully back to his merman appearance.

On Andros, the mutants also all revert back to normal and the water levels recede back to their original state. Teredor and Niobe reunite with their subjects, and soon are reunited with Neptune and Ligea, to a tearful Tressa's joy. Soon, all eyes are on Tritannus as Nereus asks his humiliated brother if he has anything to say in his defense. When Tritannus retorts snidely that he should have killed them all when he still had the chance, Teredor and Neptune disown him and banish him to the Gate of Oblivion for eternity, much to Tritannus' horror.

As the former Prince is escorted by two restored merman guards and the Winx to the Gate, Aisha has no remorse for her cousin's fate, deciding it is what he deserved for all the grief he's caused their family and the Magic Dimension. Tritannus is forced through the Gate, whimpering and shouting all the way. Afterwards, Bloom's Sirenix Guardian appears to grant her Sirenix wish, and Bloom wishes to break the Sirenix curse that had plagued her sister Daphne for so long. The wish is granted, and Daphne is restored to her flesh and blood form, reuniting with Bloom at long last in a tearful embrace.

Later at Andros Palace, many guests from around the Magic Dimension, from royalty like King Oritel and Queen Marion, to Bloom's foster parents from Earth, Mike and Vanessa, come together as it is announced that every planet in the Magic Dimension will now stand united as one family, before the Winx appear to perform a concert, ending with Bloom flying over to Daphne, sharing a hug with her and both sets of their parents, birth or adopted, and dancing together to end the season.
