Plot[]
Erendor and Sky argue about duty.
The Winx band hold a nighttime concert at Alfea. After the concert, they interact with the rest of the student body for a bit, signing autographs and taking pictures. They then meet up with the Specialists. Bloom inquires about Sky's lack of presence at the meeting, where she finds out thanks to Riven that he had been urgently summoned to his home realm by his father. Bloom asks if something was wrong, but finds out from Brandon that it is just because his father wants him to spend more time in the royal court as the crown prince, opposing Sky's personal aspirations to be a professional hero.
At the royal palace, Sky and his father have an argument about the issue in the court room, to which Sky storms off, much to the chagrin of his father and the delight of Diaspro, who was spying on the pair from a distance, and hatches a plan that would, in her mind, make Sky hers.
Valtor tasks the Trix with capturing the Wishing Star.
At Alfea, the Winx discuss the events that happened at their first concert in a while. Kiko attempts to imitate the winx's concert (though with little success) with Musa commenting on the fact that Kiko could be the world's first rockstar rabbit. Stella proceeds to make comments about the boys, which is notably insensitive to Bloom due to her failed meet up with Sky. The rest attempt to gesture her to stop to no avail, until Musa yells at her and gestures to a sad Bloom. Stella apologizes for the insensitivity, and Bloom accepts it since it is not her fault that she has difficulty meeting Sky. However Aisha considers the possibility that Stella's comments are not the cause of her sadness, and Bloom reveals that it is actually because Sky did not inform her about the meeting prior, and that the have not been communicating recently. Flora reassures Bloom by pointing out that it is just somethings boys do on a regular basis. Stella contradicts this statement, and Musa once again lets Stella know of that insensitivity, to which she apologizes for once again. Musa talks about her experience with Riven and her own lack of communication with each other. Stella interjects, saying that Musa is also being insensitive. Tecna then talks about Timmy also falling off the grid at times, though explains its because he is preoccupied with other things, such as thinking about his projects. Bloom clearly does not feel better, so Flora reassures her that her situation will improve since they have defeated Valtor. Aisha tells Bloom that she can always make a wish on a shooting star.
The Wishing Star splits her celestial essence for protection.
Following this, Bloom makes her way to Alfea's courtyard to do so, and is surprised by a surprise appearance with Sky, which she wished for. Sky apologizes about missing the concert and Bloom accepts the apology and is just happy that he is back. Sky appears distraught about the meeting with his father. Bloom inquires about the meeting but sky refuses to go into detail about it since it ended the same way the conversations about the topic always end in: an argument which does not reach any conclusion. Bloom emphasizes with Sky, and Sky wishes that the couple could have more time for them. Bloom gives him the same advice she received from Aisha.
At Valtor's Palace, Icy inquires about his motives for freeing the Trix from Limbo. Valtor replies sarcastically, and tells them that they are needed to take the Wishing Star which he wishes for yet cannot attain due to his power incompatibility. Valtor brands the Trix with his mark to force them to help him, and threatens a return to Limbo should they disobey him, and promise immense power to those who help him, after becoming the strongest sorcerer in the Magic Dimension. Icy expresses interest in this immense power, to which her sisters share the same opinion. The Trix proceed to attempt to capture her after passing by Valtor's Palace.
Diaspro informs Sky about of the "mission" Erendor "assigned" them to.
The Wishing Star notes his palace has not changed much in the last one thousand years and is stopped by the witches. She tries to escape but the Trix keep up with her and relentlessly attack. Icy manages to successfully contain her in a block of ice, but the Wishing Star explodes, breaking the cage and splitting into the Seven Prime Stars and Star Case landing on different planets around the Magic Dimension.
On Lumenia, Twinkly is observing the beautiful landscape of the forest, and notices the Star Case. She becomes quickly alarmed by its proximity and gets chased all the way to Queen Dorana and Kind Argen's palace, much to the surprise of Onlookers. At the palace, Queen Dorana is conversing with newly crowned King Argan about Life in Lumenia, but the pair are quickly interrupted by Twinkly's yells.

Back at Alfea, Bloom and Sky stargaze peacefully, until they are interrupted by a spam of messages sent by Diaspro, showcasing her impatience, and Twinkly's arrival, which takes Bloom away from Sky. Seeing the opportunity, Sky leaves to his spaceship to Answer Diaspro's calls. Diaspro chastises Sky for not picking up, and reveals to Sky that his father asked her to guide him on a secret mission to find the Lost Locket of his kingdom, one of the most powerful items in his kingdom, Much to Sky's confusion. Sky tries to discourage her from going with him to no avail. The rest of the specialists arrive on his ship to invite him on a mission, to which Sky declines in favor of his new mission. The Specialists try to cheer him up with little success.

Queen Dorana reveals to the Winx Twinkly's discovery of the Star Case, which contains the essence of the Wishing Star, which Tecna recognizes from one of Faragonda's Cosmo-magic lessons, though the rest do not. Queen Dorana explains the star's presence as signs of a self-defense mechanism from a magical attack, and the existence of the seven prime stars which fill the case, which can be locating by the Star Compass which resides inside.

Quotes[]
“No, Bloom. It's just the same old story. His dad wants him to spend more time at court, being the crown prince and all. While Sky would rather be a professional hero.”
“Yeah, King Erendor has never been happy about that.”
“But that doesn't excuse from being the Prince of Eraklyon, Sky! ... To always but the good of your kingdom first. That's what true princes do.”
“I put the good of everyone first! That's why I go on missions with the Specialists!”
“Sky and his father are quarreling. How nice. If I use this to my advantage, Sky will finally be mine!”
“Because you owe me. Behold, my mark! A reminder of who you belong to. And if you don't obey me, I'll send you back to the limbo I freed you from. Or, if you help me, I shall grant you immense power once the Wishing Star makes me the strongest sorcerer in the Magic Universe!”
“Immense power... Sounds like a good deal. Am I right, sisters?”
“Diaspro? That crazy girl who won't give up on you?!”
