Fate: The Winx Saga (2021) s02e06 Episode Script
Poor Unfortunate Souls
1
[tense music plays]
[Saul] Now I trust you all understand
the gravity of the situation.
So, until we are sure
about how we're going to proceed,
nobody can know any of the details
of what happened at the graveyard today.
Nobody can know
that any of the fairies at this school
no longer control the Dragon Flame.
Sorry, I know it's a big deal
that Bloom kill
That Rosalind's dead.
But in my humble opinion,
it's a bigger deal
that Rosalind murdered Miss Dowling.
Yes, but the only thing
we know for certain
is the first part of that sentence.
Thank you, Sky.
Now, I have made an agreement with Bavani
that should keep Bloom out of confinement.
What are those?
Torture devices
to stop Bloom using her magic.
The crystal is why she lost control.
She discharged her magic into it.
She's not a risk anymore.
- I'm afraid those were the terms.
- It's okay.
I did it. I'm not gonna fight.
[metal scraping]
[blood squelching]
[Saul] Bavani will convene a tribunal
to determine the consequences
of Bloom's actions.
Queen Luna will preside over it.
Lovely.
So, you expect us to go to class
like everything's normal?
No, because everything is not normal.
Queen Luna is making an address.
Citizens of Solaria,
I have tragic news.
Rosalind Hale,
headmistress of Alfea, is dead.
It is a grave loss
not only for the students of Alfea
but for the entire realm.
Rosalind was one of the bravest fairies
the Otherworld has ever seen.
Respected by her peers.
Feared by her enemies.
But fear will not dictate how we respond.
There is a guilty party,
and they will be brought to justice.
Blood Witches.
Their hatred of our kind is well known.
But a heinous act such as this
is unprecedented,
carried out by their leader,
Sebastian Valtor.
Every Blood Witch following him
is considered an enemy of the Crown.
We will use the full weight
of our military against them.
And make no mistake
this is an act of war.
[ethereal music plays]
[tense music plays]
[message notification pings]
[door opens]
I'm sure there's
a kinder way to do this, but
Light fairy. Sorry, not sorry.
How did you sleep?
[chuckles sarcastically] What's sleep?
Every time I close my eyes,
I'm back in the graveyard.
It's all blurry, like I can barely
even remember what happened.
Okay, let me remember it for you.
Sebastian took advantage of you
in a vulnerable moment.
He revealed a horrific truth,
that Rosalind killed Miss Dowling
in cold blood.
Confronted with her crime,
Rosalind attacked you.
You acted in self-defense.
- Yeah, that makes sense.
- Of course it does.
And I intend to prove it to the tribunal.
Solarian law is Byzantine, but,
though luckily for you,
I spent many long nights
with many tedious tutors studying it, so
[Aisha] You're a lot of things, Bloom.
Most of them amazing.
Some of them annoying.
None of them murdery
or even murdery adjacent. Trust me.
[Stella] Terra and Flora will find proof
of Dowling's murder to support your case.
What if, you know,
she disagrees with the case?
This particular instance
has never happened before,
but as there is a death involved,
that could mean anything
from minor confinement to banishment.
Tough love time. Uh
This Bloom? Not helpful.
If my mum sees some sad sack
second-guessing herself,
she will eat you alive.
You're the Dragon Flame, Bloom,
and you did nothing wrong.
The realm needs you.
We need you.
- Don't understand why we're not fighting.
- Because you're still students, Dane.
No, we're Specialists.
This is what we've been training for.
No, you've been training
so you can fight when you graduate.
If you wanna be a soldier,
why don't you impress the Solarians
with a well-stocked supply depot, huh?
Waste of talent.
Basically, we're fucking grunts,
and we have to enjoy being fucking grunts.
Uh, language and attitude. Both of yous.
I'm not gonna tell you again.
- How's Bloom doing?
- Yeah, she's good. She's in bed.
Nothing like being accused of murder
to give you time to catch up on Netflix.
[sighs] Lot of crate action going on.
Looks like you could use some help.
Well, I appreciate the offer,
but we've got enough Specialists.
If only they'd work more
and complain less.
And you don't need any more Specialists?
I don't have any magic,
but I'd like to stay at Alfea.
I just thought if I became a Specialist
- Now's not the best time, Musa.
- [Dane] Why not?
We're just supplying Solaria, right?
I'm only half-kidding.
I can easily start her up
on a training regimen in our downtime.
What downtime?
This isn't fucking daycare. No offense.
Wasn't clever enough
to offend me. No offense.
I will literally do anything.
[flies buzzing]
So, it's like
a Mr. Miyagi situation, right?
- He's teaching us something.
- Yeah, how to shovel shit.
[sighs] This is gonna take all week.
[teacher] Well done. Keep it up.
It'll take forever to make
enough of this for the Solarian army.
We don't even know
if it'll work on Blood Witch magic.
LeRoy seems convinced it will,
and she has a pretty good track record.
- Let's just hope she's distracted enough.
- Okay.
[tense music plays]
[indistinct chattering]
[Terra] You promise
we won't have to dig up Dowling's corpse?
No, no grave-digging.
We just need proof she's there.
Stella can't claim self-defense
unless Dowling's body
is where Rosalind said
Kat! Hi.
Hey, Terra.
Flora.
Sorry, you're probably wondering
what we're doing here. Let me tell you.
- Um, we were just, um
- We're going for a walk in the graveyard.
Last I checked,
that wasn't against the rules.
It is now. Sorry.
No students roaming around outside.
Blood Witches could be anywhere.
[sighs softly]
You don't have to tell me
what you're up to.
Probably shouldn't, to be honest.
But I'm on duty alone tomorrow morning.
Might have better luck
sneaking by me then.
[Flora] Hm.
- Disappointing.
- Mm-hmm.
Yet somehow still promising.
Focus, lover girl. Tribunal's
in the morning. Timing's gonna be tight.
Okay.
[unsettling music plays]
[knocking on door]
[knocking on door]
[Sky] Bloom?
Aisha said you you were laying low.
I thought maybe we could lay low together.
I know you're probably
worrying about the tribunal.
Bloom?
Talk to me.
[sighs softly]
Hey.
Weird I'm calling, I know.
But I didn't wanna triple-text.
Is a phone call more or less mortifying?
Don't answer that. Um
I checked your room and the Bastion.
Nobody's seen you.
But I'm headed for a swim,
in case you wanna join?
Look, I know you wanted
to talk with me yesterday.
Sorry, it's taken me a second.
Things got a bit out of hand and
Just call me back.
[phone beeps]
- [phone vibrates, chimes]
- [scoffs]
[sighs]
You made it. Perfect.
Welcome home.
[door opens]
[distant bird hooting]
[twigs snapping]
[ominous beat]
- [door creaks open]
- [unsettling music plays]
[unsettling music intensifies]
Dad, she's crazy. You know that.
[sighs]
[fire roars]
[sighs]
[dad] Bloom! Help me.
- Mom?
- [dad] Get her out of here!
Please! [pained screaming]
- [clunk]
- [floorboards creak]
[ominous suspenseful music plays]
Sorry.
[exhales shakily]
Didn't realize Aisha's snoring
was that bad.
Well, twist, it's me.
Thought she could use a
[inhales deeply] good night's sleep.
[Bloom sighs]
Isn't it dangerous
for you to be out here alone?
With no magic.
I didn't wanna take the risk.
If something happened when I was asleep
Bloom.
Please, Sky.
I'm not scared of you, okay?
You should be.
My emotions are what triggered this, Sky.
And the way I feel about you, I mean, I
What if we get in a fight,
and what if I lost control?
We really need to keep our distance.
Look, Bloom, I'm your boyfriend.
If we can't be in the same room together,
how are we
I need I need to get some rest tonight.
[emotional ballad plays]
If I don't,
Stella's gonna kill me tomorrow. [sniffs]
You leave in the morning ♪
[Sky] We'll figure this out
after the tribunal.
With everything you own
In a little black case ♪
- We can fix this.
- Alone on the platform ♪
The wind and the rain on a sad ♪

- Lonely face ♪

[emotional ballad ends]
What the
Did the shit fairy come last night?
- Don't ever call me that again.
- You did this?
Didn't want Grumpy
to have an excuses not to train me.
I'm happy not to be shoveling,
but it's not gonna happen.
Afraid of being beaten by a girl?
- Riv
- No.
- [Dane sighs]
- She wants a lesson. Let's go.
[psych-pop music plays]
- I dreamt of a room ♪
- [grunting]
Where rules are caught ♪
Where confessions are ♪
- Sold and bought ♪
- You're dead. Again.
Where your heroes hide ♪
Watching over everyone ♪
Look at that. More dead. Again.
[swords clang]
[both grunting]
- [Riven grunts]
- [Musa yelps]
Why are you being such a dick?
[Riven] Any minute now,
we might get called to an actual war.
Specialists aren't just randoms
picked up off the street.
We're selected. We train for years.
And you think you can just figure it out?
It's insulting.
You could get hurt, Musa.
Or worse, killed.
And it's dangerous to everyone else.
So go ahead, play dress up. It's not like
there's more important things going on.
- [ominous music plays]
- [Aisha] When did you last see her?
When Rosalind took over,
we had a cordial chat,
but that's about it.
[Aisha] So, the gem?
She'll probably pretend it's not there,
which is a good thing.
It's not what today is about.
Bloom's future is in my mum's hands.
There's water in there,
but if you need anything more medicinal
Thanks, I'm good.
Mother, it's so good to see you.
- [kisses]
- Um.
I think it's best if the students
think you're here to visit me.
[Luna] Hmm.
Shall we?
[sighs]
No matter what, killing Rosalind
was the best thing you've ever done.
She deserved it.
If you'll excuse us.
Won't be a moment.
I left water on the desk for your mum.
Chilled, four lemons, sparkling.
I remember you saying
how weird she was about her water.
Thank you, Beatrix.
[door opens]
[door closes]
Right.
I ate breakfast outside this morning.
- [Stella] Mm.
- [Bloom] In the sun.
- I needed some color.
- Small miracles.
Well, I am the Dragon Flame after all, so
Look, my mum can be tricky.
But I am her daughter,
and I can be tricky too.
So we have a few layers of defense.
I've been reading up on settled law
so she can't trip me up.
We'll get proof of Rosalind's crimes
from Terra and Flora.
And our coup de grâce?
A prominent Solarian
and unimpeachable character witness.
- Let's not oversell me here.
- Overselling is the name of the game.
Your family supplies energy
for half of the realm.
My mum cannot piss them off.
Okay? It's enough to make her listen.
Let's just hope
Terra and Flora come through.
- [wind blows gently]
- [bird screeching]
What have we here?
Could it be an official bribe?
I don't know if you should
call a bribe a bribe, but
Oh my God.
- Tobian rock snails. How did you
- [Terra giggles]
These must have taken you
at least a week to get.
I will admit they weren't originally
meant to be a bribe when I sourced them.
Thought I could cook them for you
in in, like, a date-type situation.
Oh. Shit.
Terra-
Oh no. No. I've done it again.
I've misread this.
I'm so sorry. That is mortifying.
You didn't misread anything. You
You're fucking amazing.
Francesca and I got back together.
Oh, well, that makes sense.
Well,
I'm really happy for you.
We don't have a lot of time. Let's go.
Enjoy your lunch.
[gate squeaks]
[sighs]
Apologies for the delay,
but, as you can imagine,
we're quite busy at the moment.
Thank you for your help, Stella,
but this is a closed tribunal.
I'm acting as Bloom's advocate.
Admirable, but in a closed tribunal,
advocates are not permitted.
I realize that.
However, you did permit Arthur
to act as advocate
when his companion found himself
in a financial scandal, so
I assume I'd be afforded
the same privilege.
Bloom, are you aware of how serious
the charges are against you?
I am.
And this is your choice?
- To have my daughter as your advocate?
- Yes.
- Stella knows the system better than I do.
- [Luna] I suppose she does.
But then again, I assume
you know nothing about the system, so
faint praise.
Very well. Here's what I know.
Rosalind,
one of the most beloved
and influential figures of the Otherworld,
is dead.
Last night, Bloom admitted to Saul Silva
that she is the cause.
So
what don't I know?
She likes you. It wasn't a no.
- I'm fine. The tribunal's started. We
- Sometimes timing is tricky
I said I'm fine.
Can you please just pour it,
so we can find Dowling's grave?
Ticktock.
- When bodies die, they decompose.
- I'm aware of basic chemistry.
Sorry.
When fairies die,
they release life essence.
Powerful fairies
have powerful life essence.
[smoke sizzling]
This should interact with that
and show us where Rosalind buried
one of the most powerful fairies
of the Otherworld.
[Luna] You're accusing Rosalind
of murdering Headmistress Dowling?
She risked our lives daily
for training and experimentation.
- Is it that unimaginable?
- [Luna] Imagination has no place here.
And making unproven accusations
such as that
is damaging only to one person, you.
And if it's proven?
[Luna] Hearsay and speculation
do not constitute proof.
I'm going to need physical evidence.
[Flora] Uh, this is a lot of smoke.
Yeah.
Makes sense for a fairy graveyard.
Bloom said it was over here.
- Are you sure?
- Yeah, by the bench.
There's no smoke. What does that mean?
It means a fairy wasn't buried here.
How is that possible?
And neither of you have considered
that Sebastian may have lied?
Uh, yeah, he could have.
But Rosalind admitted it.
To you, alone, in private.
Terra and Flora are in the graveyard
getting the proof that we need.
I just need one minute.
- Please.
- [Flora] Rosalind must've moved the body.
No, she has to be here.
Rosalind's not getting away with this.
[mystical tingling]
Terra, what are you doing?
There's something there. I can feel it.
Great. Terra, that's all we need.
Almost there.
[Terra gasps]
[exhales sharply]
What is that?
It's a dead end.
[phone chimes, vibrates]
Oh well. What a lovely waste of time.
I'm not imagining this and I'm not lying.
Rosalind admitted it.
I think, perhaps,
a character witness might help.
[footsteps receding]
[Aisha] Your Majesty.
Aisha, my time is limited.
[Aisha] I realize that.
However, given how much my family
have contributed to Solaria
over the years
Thank you.
Do you remember
the first time you used magic?
Mine was not fun,
but it was nothing compared to Bloom's.
She set fire to her house.
She got in a fight with her mum.
- Her magic went haywire, and
- [Stella clears throat]
After my first time, I went home in tears.
My mum got me a balloon.
After Bloom's first time,
she slept in a warehouse.
She couldn't tell anyone what happened
because she had no idea what happened.
We take that for granted,
that we grow up knowing what we are.
That our fairy mothers will guide us.
Bloom has felt different her entire life.
She had no one to teach and support her.
So, she's an outsider with control issues?
No, and that's the whole point.
Given everything that's happened to her,
Bloom should be a mess,
but she's not.
She came to Alfea
with an open heart and open mind,
and, in spite of everything
she's been through, she excelled.
With her magic and with her friends.
Bloom lost control yesterday
for one reason and one reason only.
We were trying to help our friend Musa
get her magic back.
Bloom is my best friend.
She's not dangerous. Trust me.
I am, if nothing else,
a very good judge of character.
Oh, are you dating Grey Owens?
You say you're a good judge of character,
but you've spent the entire term
dating a Blood Witch.
[ominous music plays]
[scoffs] Grey?
No, that's a mistake.
Last night, Grey had
an odd run-in with a Specialist.
It caused enough concern
that Silva checked his records.
They're forged.
That's not possible.
Why? Because you know him?
Like you know Bloom?
Or perhaps your judgment
isn't as sound as you believe it to be?
Oh, and I wonder what your family
might think of that.
Thank you, Aisha.
That will be all.
- [Bloom] Aisha.
- [Stella] Aisha, wait.
You know, you can never truly know
what's in someone's heart.
All you can do
is judge them by their actions.
Do you have Grey's records?
Um, I think so. Why?
I need to see them. Now.
So, any more special guests?
Long-winded speeches?
Please.
Please. Bloom is my friend.
[Luna] I realize that,
and you've done
an admirable job defending her,
but
you were correct in your letter.
What letter?
- Please don't.
- What letter?
Stella wrote to me a few days ago
asking to borrow the Convergence Crystal,
and in her letter, she included a warning.
About you.
"She is a ticking time bomb,
but Solaria is well positioned
by my presence in her life."
"When she finally does explode,
we should be able to use it
to our advantage."
You did write that?
Yes. Yes, I did, but
I think it's fair to say she has exploded.
Now, if there's nothing else
May I say something?
Stella is right in her assessment
of what happened that night.
It was self-defense. Rosalind attacked me
and I defended myself.
She's also right in her letter.
Because of what happened next.
During our standoff,
there was a moment
where I could have let go and I didn't.
[whimpering]
[Bloom] Something took over
and I wanted to hurt her.
I wanted to punish Rosalind
for killing Miss Dowling.
And in that moment, I wanted her dead.
The Dragon Flame gave me the ability
to make it happen.
I will accept the consequences
to my actions.
And I appreciate your candor.
However,
it doesn't change the fact
that you are still
a great threat to the realm.
My ruling is to place you in stasis.
To be re-evaluated after 20 years.
Wait. What?
Take her to the sanctum.
No, Mum, you can't.
Do not make this difficult.
You don't have to.
[softly] It's okay.
It's for the best.

Me too.
[mystical buzzing]
It's not true ♪
[mystical barrier creaking]
You know when I wrote you that letter
You were trying to get back
into my good graces. Obviously.
And while it was transparent and a
little clumsy,
it was a savvy move.
My good graces are where you ought to be.
You are the princess.
Was there any chance
you were going to let her go today?
No.
But I was impressed
by how you comported yourself.
Gracious yet firm.
I was very proud of you.
Take off your jacket.
Turn round.
[Stella breathes shakily]
[shaky breathing continues]
[mystical tinkling]
- [exhales sharply]
- [scurrying]
So, that's all I had to do?
Just play your game.
It's not my game, Stella.
But yes.
We both must play it.
And I am sorry about your friend.
But being a queen means you must look
beyond things like friendships.
One day, you'll understand that.
[inhales shakily]
What if I don't want to?
[chuckles] I'm afraid you have no choice.
What about if I'm not the princess?
Do I have a choice then?
You be careful, Stella.
You don't know what you're saying.
Yes, I do.
If I am forced to choose
between my friends and my privilege,
do not be surprised by what wins.
[inhales sharply]
What happened with Bloom?
[Musa] Aisha?
Are you okay?
- [phone beeps]
- [outgoing call tone]
[Grey] Hi.
I, uh
owe you an explanation.
No, just an answer.
Are you a Blood Witch?
I'm sorry, Aisha.
I knew you wouldn't understand.
[gasps, breathes shakily]
[emotionally tense instrumental music]
It's over.
- No
- [Stella] I'm sorry. She's gone.
[softly] No
[Stella] It's fine. Hey. It's okay.
- It's okay.
- [Aisha sobs]
- [Stella] It'll be okay.
- [sniffles]
You know, at first glance,
Romeo and Juliet is a great story.
Tragic love at its finest.
Then you realize
Juliet's 13,
Romeo's a dick,
and the whole mess could've been avoided
with just a little more communication.
Counter counterpoint. Leo and Claire.
Hard to top that.
Is this the right thing to do?
I know I'm meant to hate fairies,
but now that Rosalind's gone,
maybe we can find another way.
- Didn't you hear Luna's address?
- No. I was on my way here. Why?
They blamed us, Grey.
What?
Your girlfriend's roommate
killed Rosalind,
and they blamed us.
So if there was anyone left in Solaria
who didn't hate Blood Witches,
they do now.
Fairies want us dead, okay?
They have always wanted us dead.
Now it's time to fight back.
[Flora] We have to get her out.
- Can't we appeal the ruling?
- Mum has sole discretion in her ruling.
Once she makes up her mind,
it literally becomes law.
- Go back to her. Change her mind.
- Yeah, that doesn't really happen.
What about the crystal?
It has fragments of the Dragon Flame.
Maybe we can use that to break her out?
Or if we get a message to Bloom,
then she can break herself out?
That sounds like her, right? You know her.
- I thought I did, but
- You didn't see her in there, Flora.
- Bloom's given up.
- That doesn't mean we have to.
Bloom is scared. So are we all.
But I refuse to live in fear.
As long as one person has hope,
maybe there's a chance.
Read the room, Flora. It's over.
- He didn't give you any details?
- No, just a text to gear up.
[Saul] We need to move quickly.
The Solarians found Sebastian's hideout.
A few hours from here.
Bavani doesn't trust the army
to make a covert move.
- She does, however, trust us.
- We're attacking?
Yeah. You were saying you wanted combat.
Congratulations. You've got it.
Our job is to take them out.
End this war before it begins, okay? Move.
- Sky.
- [Sky] Hey, sorry.
I got your text. Give me one second.
Whoa. Are you sure you wanna come?
- Yeah, 100%.
- [Saul] Right.
I've been sitting around
waiting to hear about the tribunal.
- This is a much better use of my time.
- [sighs] Sky.
What? What is it?
Queen Luna made her ruling.
[flames crackling]
Let me see her.
You have to let me see her.
[grunting]
Get him to a cell.
Let me go. Bloom! Bloom!
Bloom! Bloom!
Really guys? You too?
- [mystical shimmering]
- [gentle creaking]
[pensive instrumental music]
[mystical shimmering]
Aisha, could you come here for a second?
You still have
the Convergence Crystal, right?
What're you cooking up?
[mystical crackling]
[Flora] We thought this thing was dead
when we found it at the graveyard.
It wasn't dead at all.
[sentimental instrumental music]
[Aisha] Bloom's felt different
her entire life.
She had no one to teach and support her.
[fireworks screeching, exploding]
[Aisha] We take that for granted.
That we grow up knowing who we are.
[sentimental music intensifies]
[Aisha] That our fairy mothers
will guide us.
[inhales deeply]
[breathes shakily]
Miss Dowling?
Hello, Bloom.
[Terra] We couldn't believe it either.
It's all thanks to Flora.
I couldn't figure out why the compound
wasn't working at the graveyard.
Then I saw my plants wilting,
and it clicked.
This little guy was absorbing
every piece of life essence he could.
In the First World,
they're called resurrection plants.
[Terra] They're like
nature's time capsules.
Could do with a bit more color,
but I suppose, form over function.
We fed it the last of the Dragon Flame
from the Convergence Crystal,
and it opened up.
You were in there?
My spirit was, yes.
That's super weird, right?
When I realized
what Rosalind was going to do,
I drew on as much magic as I could.
and called on the natural world
to preserve me.
I owed you all one last goodbye.
Life is precious,
but so is death.
Both must be respected.
I did not survive Rosalind's attack.
So I can't help you fight
the battle ahead.
But I do have time for one final lesson.
Magic lessons aren't really
my thing anymore.
So maybe I should go and guard the door.
You're all fairies.
This lesson is for all of you.
It's about transformation magic.
When I was your headmistress,
I shielded you
from the harsh truths of the world.
I believed that positive emotions
were the cornerstone of powerful magic.
Rosalind felt the opposite.
That strength was only forged
in those harsh truths.
We were both wrong.
To unlock true magic,
you must make peace
with all your emotions.
The reckless joy of the positive
and the despair of the negative.
There is beauty and power in both.
I'm so proud of each of you.
And of the women you're becoming.
Bloom, shall we take a walk?
[Bavani] I don't care what it takes.
We have to find her.
[door opens]
Not a word of this to anyone.
[notification chimes]
- Bavani knows that Bloom's gone.
- [Aisha] According to who? Beatrix?
And we believe her?
Look, she's trying, okay? Just
She'll check our room.
It'll look suspicious if we're all gone.
I'll go back. You guys need more time
with Miss Dowling.
I don't have the same connection to her.
- [Stella] Thank you.
- I'm coming too.
It's more believable if I'm there.
Give her one last hug from me.
[dramatic music plays]
Three entrance points. Three teams.
Take out as many as you can
before they know we're here.
LeRoy only had time
to make protection for this group,
so their curses won't work on us.
But make no mistake,
once we kick this hornet's nest,
the war begins,
so if anyone wants out,
there's no shame in that.
Let's do this.
[Bloom] Are you disappointed in me?
For losing control. For
killing somebody.
Taking a life is serious.
You'll carry that burden forever.
But nothing happens in a vacuum.
When we discovered
what Rosalind had done at Aster Dell,
I was so angry I
I wanted to kill her.
If I had the power you have,
things may have turned out differently.
The world is a better place
without Rosalind Hale.
That's an objective truth.
What's done is done.
But it's not done
because I still have this thing inside me.
The more I learn about it,
the more it scares me.
I'm sure it does.
- But you have to use it.
- [emotional ballad plays]
One way or another.
You can't give up.
You have to fight.
[emotionally] But how do I do that?
How do I How do I
How do I do that without losing control?
I just want somebody
to tell me what to do.
I can't do that, Bloom.
Nobody can.
That's the hardest lesson of all.
All I can tell you
is that I believe in you.
And you must know
that anything with the power to destroy
can also protect.
You, Bloom, have the power
to save the world.
Forces rule our lives
Feelings move the tide ♪
You've heard that before.
Rosalind proclaimed it
at the alumni banquet.
With her by your side, no doubt.
Yeah. [chuckles]
It's a very Rosalind thing to do.
Then let me amend it.
Don't think about saving the world.
Think about saving your world.

Here we are, 12 hours later, in the shit.
Don't do anything stupid in there, okay?
Don't wanna carry your ass anywhere.
[chuckles] Don't know if you even could.
Your lower body needs a lot of work.
[tense music continues]
They knew we were coming.
[unsettling music plays]
[banging on door]

Took you long enough.
It's the entourage.

Could you cut the lights?
All of them, please.
Of course.

[foreboding music plays]
[chittering]
[scrapers chittering, screeching]
[tense instrumental music]
[tense music plays]
[Saul] Now I trust you all understand
the gravity of the situation.
So, until we are sure
about how we're going to proceed,
nobody can know any of the details
of what happened at the graveyard today.
Nobody can know
that any of the fairies at this school
no longer control the Dragon Flame.
Sorry, I know it's a big deal
that Bloom kill
That Rosalind's dead.
But in my humble opinion,
it's a bigger deal
that Rosalind murdered Miss Dowling.
Yes, but the only thing
we know for certain
is the first part of that sentence.
Thank you, Sky.
Now, I have made an agreement with Bavani
that should keep Bloom out of confinement.
What are those?
Torture devices
to stop Bloom using her magic.
The crystal is why she lost control.
She discharged her magic into it.
She's not a risk anymore.
- I'm afraid those were the terms.
- It's okay.
I did it. I'm not gonna fight.
[metal scraping]
[blood squelching]
[Saul] Bavani will convene a tribunal
to determine the consequences
of Bloom's actions.
Queen Luna will preside over it.
Lovely.
So, you expect us to go to class
like everything's normal?
No, because everything is not normal.
Queen Luna is making an address.
Citizens of Solaria,
I have tragic news.
Rosalind Hale,
headmistress of Alfea, is dead.
It is a grave loss
not only for the students of Alfea
but for the entire realm.
Rosalind was one of the bravest fairies
the Otherworld has ever seen.
Respected by her peers.
Feared by her enemies.
But fear will not dictate how we respond.
There is a guilty party,
and they will be brought to justice.
Blood Witches.
Their hatred of our kind is well known.
But a heinous act such as this
is unprecedented,
carried out by their leader,
Sebastian Valtor.
Every Blood Witch following him
is considered an enemy of the Crown.
We will use the full weight
of our military against them.
And make no mistake
this is an act of war.
[ethereal music plays]
[tense music plays]
[message notification pings]
[door opens]
I'm sure there's
a kinder way to do this, but
Light fairy. Sorry, not sorry.
How did you sleep?
[chuckles sarcastically] What's sleep?
Every time I close my eyes,
I'm back in the graveyard.
It's all blurry, like I can barely
even remember what happened.
Okay, let me remember it for you.
Sebastian took advantage of you
in a vulnerable moment.
He revealed a horrific truth,
that Rosalind killed Miss Dowling
in cold blood.
Confronted with her crime,
Rosalind attacked you.
You acted in self-defense.
- Yeah, that makes sense.
- Of course it does.
And I intend to prove it to the tribunal.
Solarian law is Byzantine, but,
though luckily for you,
I spent many long nights
with many tedious tutors studying it, so
[Aisha] You're a lot of things, Bloom.
Most of them amazing.
Some of them annoying.
None of them murdery
or even murdery adjacent. Trust me.
[Stella] Terra and Flora will find proof
of Dowling's murder to support your case.
What if, you know,
she disagrees with the case?
This particular instance
has never happened before,
but as there is a death involved,
that could mean anything
from minor confinement to banishment.
Tough love time. Uh
This Bloom? Not helpful.
If my mum sees some sad sack
second-guessing herself,
she will eat you alive.
You're the Dragon Flame, Bloom,
and you did nothing wrong.
The realm needs you.
We need you.
- Don't understand why we're not fighting.
- Because you're still students, Dane.
No, we're Specialists.
This is what we've been training for.
No, you've been training
so you can fight when you graduate.
If you wanna be a soldier,
why don't you impress the Solarians
with a well-stocked supply depot, huh?
Waste of talent.
Basically, we're fucking grunts,
and we have to enjoy being fucking grunts.
Uh, language and attitude. Both of yous.
I'm not gonna tell you again.
- How's Bloom doing?
- Yeah, she's good. She's in bed.
Nothing like being accused of murder
to give you time to catch up on Netflix.
[sighs] Lot of crate action going on.
Looks like you could use some help.
Well, I appreciate the offer,
but we've got enough Specialists.
If only they'd work more
and complain less.
And you don't need any more Specialists?
I don't have any magic,
but I'd like to stay at Alfea.
I just thought if I became a Specialist
- Now's not the best time, Musa.
- [Dane] Why not?
We're just supplying Solaria, right?
I'm only half-kidding.
I can easily start her up
on a training regimen in our downtime.
What downtime?
This isn't fucking daycare. No offense.
Wasn't clever enough
to offend me. No offense.
I will literally do anything.
[flies buzzing]
So, it's like
a Mr. Miyagi situation, right?
- He's teaching us something.
- Yeah, how to shovel shit.
[sighs] This is gonna take all week.
[teacher] Well done. Keep it up.
It'll take forever to make
enough of this for the Solarian army.
We don't even know
if it'll work on Blood Witch magic.
LeRoy seems convinced it will,
and she has a pretty good track record.
- Let's just hope she's distracted enough.
- Okay.
[tense music plays]
[indistinct chattering]
[Terra] You promise
we won't have to dig up Dowling's corpse?
No, no grave-digging.
We just need proof she's there.
Stella can't claim self-defense
unless Dowling's body
is where Rosalind said
Kat! Hi.
Hey, Terra.
Flora.
Sorry, you're probably wondering
what we're doing here. Let me tell you.
- Um, we were just, um
- We're going for a walk in the graveyard.
Last I checked,
that wasn't against the rules.
It is now. Sorry.
No students roaming around outside.
Blood Witches could be anywhere.
[sighs softly]
You don't have to tell me
what you're up to.
Probably shouldn't, to be honest.
But I'm on duty alone tomorrow morning.
Might have better luck
sneaking by me then.
[Flora] Hm.
- Disappointing.
- Mm-hmm.
Yet somehow still promising.
Focus, lover girl. Tribunal's
in the morning. Timing's gonna be tight.
Okay.
[unsettling music plays]
[knocking on door]
[knocking on door]
[Sky] Bloom?
Aisha said you you were laying low.
I thought maybe we could lay low together.
I know you're probably
worrying about the tribunal.
Bloom?
Talk to me.
[sighs softly]
Hey.
Weird I'm calling, I know.
But I didn't wanna triple-text.
Is a phone call more or less mortifying?
Don't answer that. Um
I checked your room and the Bastion.
Nobody's seen you.
But I'm headed for a swim,
in case you wanna join?
Look, I know you wanted
to talk with me yesterday.
Sorry, it's taken me a second.
Things got a bit out of hand and
Just call me back.

Sorry.
[exhales shakily]
Didn't realize Aisha's snoring
was that bad.
Well, twist, it's me.
Thought she could use a
[inhales deeply] good night's sleep.
[Bloom sighs]
Isn't it dangerous
for you to be out here alone?
With no magic.
I didn't wanna take the risk.
If something happened when I was asleep
Bloom.
Please, Sky.
I'm not scared of you, okay?
You should be.
My emotions are what triggered this, Sky.
And the way I feel about you, I mean, I
What if we get in a fight,
and what if I lost control?
We really need to keep our distance.
Look, Bloom, I'm your boyfriend.
If we can't be in the same room together,
how are we
I need I need to get some rest tonight.

Why are you being such a dick?
[Riven] Any minute now,
we might get called to an actual war.
Specialists aren't just randoms
picked up off the street.
We're selected. We train for years.
And you think you can just figure it out?
It's insulting.
You could get hurt, Musa.
Or worse, killed.
And it's dangerous to everyone else.
So go ahead, play dress up. It's not like
there's more important things going on.
- [ominous music plays]
- [Aisha] When did you last see her?
When Rosalind took over,
we had a cordial chat,
but that's about it.
[Aisha] So, the gem?
She'll probably pretend it's not there,
which is a good thing.
It's not what today is about.
Bloom's future is in my mum's hands.
There's water in there,
but if you need anything more medicinal
Thanks, I'm good.
Mother, it's so good to see you.
- [kisses]
- Um.
I think it's best if the students
think you're here to visit me.
[Luna] Hmm.
Shall we?
[sighs]
No matter what, killing Rosalind
was the best thing you've ever done.
She deserved it.
If you'll excuse us.
Won't be a moment.
I left water on the desk for your mum.
Chilled, four lemons, sparkling.
I remember you saying
how weird she was about her water.
Thank you, Beatrix.
[door opens]
[door closes]
Right.
I ate breakfast outside this morning.
- [Stella] Mm.
- [Bloom] In the sun.
- I needed some color.
- Small miracles.
Well, I am the Dragon Flame after all, so
Look, my mum can be tricky.
But I am her daughter,
and I can be tricky too.
So we have a few layers of defense.
I've been reading up on settled law
so she can't trip me up.
We'll get proof of Rosalind's crimes
from Terra and Flora.
And our coup de grâce?
A prominent Solarian
and unimpeachable character witness.
- Let's not oversell me here.
- Overselling is the name of the game.
Your family supplies energy
for half of the realm.
My mum cannot piss them off.
Okay? It's enough to make her listen.
Let's just hope
Terra and Flora come through.
- [wind blows gently]
- [bird screeching]
What have we here?
Could it be an official bribe?
I don't know if you should
call a bribe a bribe, but
Oh my God.
- Tobian rock snails. How did you
- [Terra giggles]
These must have taken you
at least a week to get.
I will admit they weren't originally
meant to be a bribe when I sourced them.
Thought I could cook them for you
in in, like, a date-type situation.
Oh. Shit.
Terra-
Oh no. No. I've done it again.
I've misread this.
I'm so sorry. That is mortifying.
You didn't misread anything. You
You're fucking amazing.
Francesca and I got back together.
Oh, well, that makes sense.
Well,
I'm really happy for you.
We don't have a lot of time. Let's go.
Enjoy your lunch.
[gate squeaks]
[sighs]
Apologies for the delay,
but, as you can imagine,
we're quite busy at the moment.
Thank you for your help, Stella,
but this is a closed tribunal.
I'm acting as Bloom's advocate.
Admirable, but in a closed tribunal,
advocates are not permitted.
I realize that.
However, you did permit Arthur
to act as advocate
when his companion found himself
in a financial scandal, so
I assume I'd be afforded
the same privilege.
Bloom, are you aware of how serious
the charges are against you?
I am.
And this is your choice?
- To have my daughter as your advocate?
- Yes.
- Stella knows the system better than I do.
- [Luna] I suppose she does.
But then again, I assume
you know nothing about the system, so
faint praise.
Very well. Here's what I know.
Rosalind,
one of the most beloved
and influential figures of the Otherworld,
is dead.
Last night, Bloom admitted to Saul Silva
that she is the cause.
So
what don't I know?
She likes you. It wasn't a no.
- I'm fine. The tribunal's started. We
- Sometimes timing is tricky
I said I'm fine.
Can you please just pour it,
so we can find Dowling's grave?
Ticktock.
- When bodies die, they decompose.
- I'm aware of basic chemistry.
Sorry.
When fairies die,
they release life essence.
Powerful fairies
have powerful life essence.
[smoke sizzling]
This should interact with that
and show us where Rosalind buried
one of the most powerful fairies
of the Otherworld.
[Luna] You're accusing Rosalind
of murdering Headmistress Dowling?
She risked our lives daily
for training and experimentation.
- Is it that unimaginable?
- [Luna] Imagination has no place here.
And making unproven accusations
such as that
is damaging only to one person, you.
And if it's proven?
[Luna] Hearsay and speculation
do not constitute proof.
I'm going to need physical evidence.
[Flora] Uh, this is a lot of smoke.
Yeah.
Makes sense for a fairy graveyard.
Bloom said it was over here.
- Are you sure?
- Yeah, by the bench.
There's no smoke. What does that mean?
It means a fairy wasn't buried here.
How is that possible?
And neither of you have considered
that Sebastian may have lied?
Uh, yeah, he could have.
But Rosalind admitted it.
To you, alone, in private.
Terra and Flora are in the graveyard
getting the proof that we need.
I just need one minute.
- Please.
- [Flora] Rosalind must've moved the body.
No, she has to be here.
Rosalind's not getting away with this.
[mystical tingling]
Terra, what are you doing?
There's something there. I can feel it.
Great. Terra, that's all we need.
Almost there.
[Terra gasps]
[exhales sharply]
What is that?
It's a dead end.
[phone chimes, vibrates]
Oh well. What a lovely waste of time.
I'm not imagining this and I'm not lying.
Rosalind admitted it.
I think, perhaps,
a character witness might help.
[footsteps receding]
[Aisha] Your Majesty.
Aisha, my time is limited.
[Aisha] I realize that.
However, given how much my family
have contributed to Solaria
over the years
Thank you.
Do you remember
the first time you used magic?
Mine was not fun,
but it was nothing compared to Bloom's.
She set fire to her house.
She got in a fight with her mum.
- Her magic went haywire, and
- [Stella clears throat]
After my first time, I went home in tears.
My mum got me a balloon.
After Bloom's first time,
she slept in a warehouse.
She couldn't tell anyone what happened
because she had no idea what happened.
We take that for granted,
that we grow up knowing what we are.
That our fairy mothers will guide us.
Bloom has felt different her entire life.
She had no one to teach and support her.
So, she's an outsider with control issues?
No, and that's the whole point.
Given everything that's happened to her,
Bloom should be a mess,
but she's not.
She came to Alfea
with an open heart and open mind,
and, in spite of everything
she's been through, she excelled.
With her magic and with her friends.
Bloom lost control yesterday
for one reason and one reason only.
We were trying to help our friend Musa
get her magic back.
Bloom is my best friend.
She's not dangerous. Trust me.
I am, if nothing else,
a very good judge of character.
Oh, are you dating Grey Owens?
You say you're a good judge of character,
but you've spent the entire term
dating a Blood Witch.
[ominous music plays]
[scoffs] Grey?
No, that's a mistake.
Last night, Grey had
an odd run-in with a Specialist.
It caused enough concern
that Silva checked his records.
They're forged.
That's not possible.
Why? Because you know him?
Like you know Bloom?
Or perhaps your judgment
isn't as sound as you believe it to be?
Oh, and I wonder what your family
might think of that.
Thank you, Aisha.
That will be all.
- [Bloom] Aisha.
- [Stella] Aisha, wait.
You know, you can never truly know
what's in someone's heart.
All you can do
is judge them by their actions.
Do you have Grey's records?
Um, I think so. Why?
I need to see them. Now.
So, any more special guests?
Long-winded speeches?
Please.
Please. Bloom is my friend.
[Luna] I realize that,
and you've done
an admirable job defending her,
but
you were correct in your letter.
What letter?
- Please don't.
- What letter?
Stella wrote to me a few days ago
asking to borrow the Convergence Crystal,
and in her letter, she included a warning.
About you.
"She is a ticking time bomb,
but Solaria is well positioned
by my presence in her life."
"When she finally does explode,
we should be able to use it
to our advantage."
You did write that?
Yes. Yes, I did, but
I think it's fair to say she has exploded.
Now, if there's nothing else
May I say something?
Stella is right in her assessment
of what happened that night.
It was self-defense. Rosalind attacked me
and I defended myself.
She's also right in her letter.
Because of what happened next.
During our standoff,
there was a moment
where I could have let go and I didn't.
[whimpering]
[Bloom] Something took over
and I wanted to hurt her.
I wanted to punish Rosalind
for killing Miss Dowling.
And in that moment, I wanted her dead.
The Dragon Flame gave me the ability
to make it happen.
I will accept the consequences
to my actions.
And I appreciate your candor.
However,
it doesn't change the fact
that you are still
a great threat to the realm.
My ruling is to place you in stasis.
To be re-evaluated after 20 years.
Wait. What?
Take her to the sanctum.
No, Mum, you can't.
Do not make this difficult.
You don't have to.
[softly] It's okay.
It's for the best.

You know when I wrote you that letter
You were trying to get back
into my good graces. Obviously.
And while it was transparent and a
little clumsy,
it was a savvy move.
My good graces are where you ought to be.
You are the princess.
Was there any chance
you were going to let her go today?
No.
But I was impressed
by how you comported yourself.
Gracious yet firm.
I was very proud of you.
Take off your jacket.
Turn round.
[Stella breathes shakily]
[shaky breathing continues]
[mystical tinkling]

So, that's all I had to do?
Just play your game.
It's not my game, Stella.
But yes.
We both must play it.
And I am sorry about your friend.
But being a queen means you must look
beyond things like friendships.
One day, you'll understand that.

What if I don't want to?
[chuckles] I'm afraid you have no choice.
What about if I'm not the princess?
Do I have a choice then?
You be careful, Stella.
You don't know what you're saying.
Yes, I do.
If I am forced to choose
between my friends and my privilege,
do not be surprised by what wins.
[inhales sharply]
What happened with Bloom?
[Musa] Aisha?
Are you okay?
- [phone beeps]
- [outgoing call tone]
[Grey] Hi.
I, uh
owe you an explanation.
No, just an answer.
Are you a Blood Witch?
I'm sorry, Aisha.
I knew you wouldn't understand.
[gasps, breathes shakily]
[emotionally tense instrumental music]
It's over.
- No
- [Stella] I'm sorry. She's gone.
[softly] No
[Stella] It's fine. Hey. It's okay.
- It's okay.
- [Aisha sobs]
- [Stella] It'll be okay.
- [sniffles]
You know, at first glance,
Romeo and Juliet is a great story.
Tragic love at its finest.
Then you realize
Juliet's 13,
Romeo's a dick,
and the whole mess could've been avoided
with just a little more communication.
Counter counterpoint. Leo and Claire.
Hard to top that.
Is this the right thing to do?
I know I'm meant to hate fairies,
but now that Rosalind's gone,
maybe we can find another way.
- Didn't you hear Luna's address?
- No. I was on my way here. Why?
They blamed us, Grey.
What?
Your girlfriend's roommate
killed Rosalind,
and they blamed us.
So if there was anyone left in Solaria
who didn't hate Blood Witches,
they do now.
Fairies want us dead, okay?
They have always wanted us dead.
Now it's time to fight back.
[Flora] We have to get her out.
- Can't we appeal the ruling?
- Mum has sole discretion in her ruling.
Once she makes up her mind,
it literally becomes law.
- Go back to her. Change her mind.
- Yeah, that doesn't really happen.
What about the crystal?
It has fragments of the Dragon Flame.
Maybe we can use that to break her out?
Or if we get a message to Bloom,
then she can break herself out?
That sounds like her, right? You know her.
- I thought I did, but
- You didn't see her in there, Flora.
- Bloom's given up.
- That doesn't mean we have to.
Bloom is scared. So are we all.
But I refuse to live in fear.
As long as one person has hope,
maybe there's a chance.
Read the room, Flora. It's over.
- He didn't give you any details?
- No, just a text to gear up.
[Saul] We need to move quickly.
The Solarians found Sebastian's hideout.
A few hours from here.
Bavani doesn't trust the army
to make a covert move.
- She does, however, trust us.
- We're attacking?
Yeah. You were saying you wanted combat.
Congratulations. You've got it.
Our job is to take them out.
End this war before it begins, okay? Move.
- Sky.
- [Sky] Hey, sorry.
I got your text. Give me one second.
Whoa. Are you sure you wanna come?
- Yeah, 100%.
- [Saul] Right.
I've been sitting around
waiting to hear about the tribunal.
- This is a much better use of my time.
- [sighs] Sky.
What? What is it?
Queen Luna made her ruling.
[flames crackling]
Let me see her.
You have to let me see her.
[grunting]
Get him to a cell.
Let me go. Bloom! Bloom!
Bloom! Bloom!
Really guys? You too?
- [mystical shimmering]
- [gentle creaking]
[pensive instrumental music]
[mystical shimmering]
Aisha, could you come here for a second?
You still have
the Convergence Crystal, right?
What're you cooking up?
[mystical crackling]
[Flora] We thought this thing was dead
when we found it at the graveyard.
It wasn't dead at all.
[sentimental instrumental music]
[Aisha] Bloom's felt different
her entire life.
She had no one to teach and support her.
[fireworks screeching, exploding]
[Aisha] We take that for granted.
That we grow up knowing who we are.
[sentimental music intensifies]
[Aisha] That our fairy mothers
will guide us.
[inhales deeply]
[breathes shakily]
Miss Dowling?
Hello, Bloom.
[Terra] We couldn't believe it either.
It's all thanks to Flora.
I couldn't figure out why the compound
wasn't working at the graveyard.
Then I saw my plants wilting,
and it clicked.
This little guy was absorbing
every piece of life essence he could.
In the First World,
they're called resurrection plants.
[Terra] They're like
nature's time capsules.
Could do with a bit more color,
but I suppose, form over function.
We fed it the last of the Dragon Flame
from the Convergence Crystal,
and it opened up.
You were in there?
My spirit was, yes.
That's super weird, right?
When I realized
what Rosalind was going to do,
I drew on as much magic as I could.
and called on the natural world
to preserve me.
I owed you all one last goodbye.
Life is precious,
but so is death.
Both must be respected.
I did not survive Rosalind's attack.
So I can't help you fight
the battle ahead.
But I do have time for one final lesson.
Magic lessons aren't really
my thing anymore.
So maybe I should go and guard the door.
You're all fairies.
This lesson is for all of you.
It's about transformation magic.
When I was your headmistress,
I shielded you
from the harsh truths of the world.
I believed that positive emotions
were the cornerstone of powerful magic.
Rosalind felt the opposite.
That strength was only forged
in those harsh truths.
We were both wrong.
To unlock true magic,
you must make peace
with all your emotions.
The reckless joy of the positive
and the despair of the negative.
There is beauty and power in both.
I'm so proud of each of you.
And of the women you're becoming.
Bloom, shall we take a walk?
[Bavani] I don't care what it takes.
We have to find her.
[door opens]
Not a word of this to anyone.
[notification chimes]
- Bavani knows that Bloom's gone.
- [Aisha] According to who? Beatrix?
And we believe her?
Look, she's trying, okay? Just
She'll check our room.
It'll look suspicious if we're all gone.
I'll go back. You guys need more time
with Miss Dowling.
I don't have the same connection to her.
- [Stella] Thank you.
- I'm coming too.
It's more believable if I'm there.
Give her one last hug from me.
[dramatic music plays]
Three entrance points. Three teams.
Take out as many as you can
before they know we're here.
LeRoy only had time
to make protection for this group,
so their curses won't work on us.
But make no mistake,
once we kick this hornet's nest,
the war begins,
so if anyone wants out,
there's no shame in that.
Let's do this.
[Bloom] Are you disappointed in me?
For losing control. For
killing somebody.
Taking a life is serious.
You'll carry that burden forever.
But nothing happens in a vacuum.
When we discovered
what Rosalind had done at Aster Dell,
I was so angry I
I wanted to kill her.
If I had the power you have,
things may have turned out differently.
The world is a better place
without Rosalind Hale.
That's an objective truth.
What's done is done.
But it's not done
because I still have this thing inside me.
The more I learn about it,
the more it scares me.
I'm sure it does.
- But you have to use it.
- [emotional ballad plays]
One way or another.
You can't give up.
You have to fight.
[emotionally] But how do I do that?
How do I How do I
How do I do that without losing control?
I just want somebody
to tell me what to do.
I can't do that, Bloom.
Nobody can.
That's the hardest lesson of all.
All I can tell you
is that I believe in you.
And you must know
that anything with the power to destroy
can also protect.
You, Bloom, have the power
to save the world.
Forces rule our lives
Feelings move the tide ♪
You've heard that before.
Rosalind proclaimed it
at the alumni banquet.
With her by your side, no doubt.
Yeah. [chuckles]
It's a very Rosalind thing to do.
Then let me amend it.
Don't think about saving the world.
Think about saving your world.
The people you love,
the people you care about.
If you use your power for that
you can never go wrong.
The strong will bind ♪
The weak left behind ♪
Spring turns to fall ♪
It's almost time.
[tearfully] Maybe just a hug?
For old time's sake?
The eagle and the dove ♪
[singer vocalizes intensely]
[tense music plays]
Looks like you were right with Musa.
Here we are, 12 hours later, in the shit.
Don't do anything stupid in there, okay?
Don't wanna carry your ass anywhere.
[chuckles] Don't know if you even could.
Your lower body needs a lot of work.
[tense music continues]
They knew we were coming.
[unsettling music plays]
[banging on door]
[unlocks door]
Took you long enough.
It's the entourage.
Like herding cats.
Could you cut the lights?
All of them, please.
Of course.
