The first season of Fate: The Winx Saga did not spark the fantasy genre, but it managed to generate enough numbers for a renewal. The second season features teen angst, pop music montages, romance, magic, and a loose mystery. However, the writing has not advanced since its debut in January. The rest of the season remains to be seen, but Rosalind seems to be planning something significant. In Fate: The Winx Saga Season 2 episode 1, "Low-Flying Panic Attack," a new threat is introduced, with someone killing and stealing the magic of fairies. Rosalind, who seems involved in this, has a laboratory where Alfea's students are her guinea pigs. Rosalind's secrets will be revealed once a student escapes, and she prepares her students, particularly Bloom, for war. Bloom is determined to overthrow Rosalind, find Farah, and rescue Saul. In Fate: The Winx Saga Season 2 episode 1, Bloom feels guilty for her actions and pays with tears of blood for them. The story highlights the dangers of stealing magic and the consequences of one's actions. Farah's disappearance and Silva's fate are consequences of Bloom's actions, and she is determined to fix the mess she propounded. Bloom admits her mistakes and is wracked with remorse. She no longer trusts her instincts and better judgment, and now tries to make Aisha make decisions for her. Aisha serves as the voice of reason, but she cannot be her moral reference. Bloom must learn to trust her instincts again and decide for herself, but this will only happen if she forgives herself for what happened. In Fate: The Winx Saga Season 2 episode 1: Low-Flying Panic Attack," Saul's rescue is a stunning display of the Winx's coordinated powers. Sky, a betrayed father, still loves Saul like a father, but he sees Andreas as an outsider. However, he hates that he still cares about him. Sky feels betrayed and betrayed by Saul's lies, but he still loves him and believes Andreas would have been better fathers. Sky's love for Saul is unwavering, but he is not yet ready to listen or forgive. Saul will eventually give it to Sky, and Sky's care for Saul is evident in the outcome. Stella struggles to keep her secrets from her mother and Rosalind, who have taken control of her. She uses her new power to pretend that Sky is still by her side, but she struggles to use it before her mother and Rosalind take control. She refuses to call Queen Moon the mother of anyone, as she is a monster. Stella feels embarrassed and doesn't want to tell the Winx, preferring to be defensive rather than vulnerable. She prefers to let them think that nothing happened, as pretending vulnerability is harder with loved ones. However, pretending vulnerability is dangerous and she needs to talk to someone. Dane and Riven are both jerks, with Dane treating Terra poorly and Riven taking pleasure in making fun of her. However, they both have a brain-washing moment since meeting Bellatrix. Riven starts questioning his faith in Rosalind, and it seems he will eventually choose the right side of things. This change is reminiscent of season 1, but it's disappointing that he didn't do it sooner.
