Hello I'm the Winx-Critic. I remember it so you don't have to! So, apparently, this episode was viewed as the "first" episode that aired of the supposed fifth season...and it shows. This story has nothing to do with the overall plot of the actual season and is just a waste of time and money. It has nothing to do with Tritannus; Sirenix; The Trix attacking Daphne...it's just about some dumb flower. Now, I don't even understand how Nick can screw up their airing schedules so bad. When they released this episode, everyone thought it was the first but then they quickly released "The Spill" as the very first episode of this new season. So, what did they do with "The Lilo"? They made it the fifth freaking episode instead. Now this is just so much worse! Not only does it not fit within the actual story but keeping it is just so stupid! It has nothing to do with the story so why is it still here?! I know it might just be a complete waste of time for me to review it, but, it is still an episode of the season so I'm still going to. So, on with the review.

The episode starts off with the Trix coming into view and talking about their powers...and that's about it. We are soon taken to Alfea where Flora is going through a training session. She dodges pillars of water that are coming for her (Yep, super dangerous) and she soon thinks of Helia to inspire herself. After she clears most of the course, and we receive a cheesy line of her man making her believe in herself, she's suddenly knocked out of the air by a sudden geyser of water. Once this pointless scene is over, Grizelda walks over and tells the Winx that Faragonda wishes to speak with them.

In her office, Faragonda explains to the girls that a magical flower that hasn't bloomed in hundreds of years is going to, coincidentally, tonight. It is found on Earth (Oh fuck it, Gardenia) and the Winx must find it and plant it before sunset. We are suddenly taken back to the Trix who have been listening to the conversation the whole time. How is this even possible? How did they now that the Winx were chatting with Faragonda? How did manage to eavesdrop on the "all powerful" Faragonda and why the hell would they even want this flower anyways? I thought they were stronger already due to Tritannus' magic? Oh wait, I forgot, this episode has nothing to do with the actual season so everything that has happened has been thrown out the window! So they whip out their Whisperia—I mean, "Vacuum Crystals" (Yeah, because that is so much more menacing) and use them to teleport them to the Lilo.

On Gardenia (Where we are greeted by shitty CGI buildings once again!) we see a familiar face: Mitzi. Yes, she's back! We hear her call for her sister Macy who, of course, is carrying the Lilo. Mitzi says she'll take her sister to the garden to plant it, but later. Shopping is more important than your weed, honey. We soon see the Winx who have also made it. Upon arriving, Flora can sense where the Lilo is and determines that it is at Vanessa's shop. They go there, a find nothing, but Vanessa explains that the city is having a "Plantathon" and that they should look there. The Trix of course, overhear this and start following the girls. 

So we see them run around like idiots trying to follow Mitzi and they eventually find themselves in the mall. Flora leads them into the music shop where Mitzi walks out and notices Bloom, Macy being in awe. The Trix soon appear, everyone in the mall flipping their shit, including Mitzi. I'm not a fan of her, but I respect that she likes the Trix. Finally, a fan of the bad guys. So, they try and take the plant but fail as Macy runs away, the Winx transforming and taking off after the Trix. Stormy finds Macy and tries taking the plant away but Mitzi suddenly appears and takes her away. The Winx finally catch up and Icy informs her sisters that she'll chase after the plant while they create a diversion. 

So the battle between them is decent and it was really cool to more of the Trix's moves—especially Stormy's tornado attack, that was awesome! And Flora got her ass beat by it too, haha. But, thanks to this hit, she notices Icy and follows after her...the others not noticing this at all, apparently. 

Mitzi arrives at the garden but before Macy can hand it to Vanessa, Icy appears and starts attacking, Flora intervening. She begins to fight Icy but, is not doing anything. Stormy and Darcy soon join their sister and begin taking Macy away to steal the plant. During the fight, Macy throws the plant which in turn, makes Darcy and Stormy drop her. While Flora goes to save Macy, the rest go and save the plant. Flora saves the girl but, the plant isn't so lucky. The pot breaks and everyone stupidly thinks that it's dead.

But, surprise surprise, it's not and it soon begins to bloom. Taking chance of the opportunity, the Trix fly into the beam and absorb the magic, becoming stronger...for about five seconds before crap in "believing" comes along and they're blasted away.

Overall this episode was stupid, pointless and irrelevant. It was nothing to do with the actual series and is just a dumb episode. Half the time the Trix take too long to react to what has happened and spend the time when they have the Lilo either laughing or trying to get it out of Macy's hands. She's a little girl. Just blast her and get the plant! Not that difficult. I hated that they included this episode and made us wait to see what happened with the whole Sirenix book. That was just being a dick, Nick.

I'm the Winx-Critic. I remember it so you don't have to! Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm going to go burn every purple flower I see. Why? Because screw the Lilo, that's why!
