The Editor's Spotlight: One Last Fluttering of Wings / Point of No Return

3x13: One Last Fluttering of Wings / Point of No Return

Saladin comes in to inform FG about the trouble on Andros:

Unedited: FG's dialog is normal: "Headmaster Saladin, what could be so important that you simply had to pay me a visit in the middle of the night?"
Edited: 4Kids adds more dialog over Saladin walking in, and does something similar to the FG and Griffin scene in 1x17: "Prof. Saladin. It's very sweet how you keep coming in to check up on me. (Unedited dialog starts here) I must say it reminds me of the days when you were a senior hero at Red Fountain and I was a freshman at Alfea."

The girls arrive on Andros.

Unedited: We see all the girls coming through the portal one-by-one. Layla's dad is not very supportive of her coming here...
Dad: Layla, don't be stubborn. Go back to Alfea, please! I can't risk losing you.
Layla: I'll go back dad, right after all of us fighting side-by-side close the Omega portal and set our planet free.
Edited: 4Kids cuts out after Musa comes through the portal, so we don't see Bloom and Flora. Layla's dad is slightly more supportive...
Dad: I'd rather that you went back to Alfea, but as Princess of Tides, it is your choice.
Layla: Then my decision is to stay in my realm, and do everything in my power to try to save it.
Dad (over a wide shot): Then we will try together.

There are four scenes where the girls use their fairy dust, and all of them have had the dust sequence edited out. One of these is Flora's outline-less dust drawing that 4K used in the previous episode, but not here. Also, 4Kids cuts out a brief exchange after Flora saves Stella: Flo: "Stella, are you alright?" Stella: "Flora... how's it going?"

Tebok explains how the Omega portal was made.

Unedited: We're shown the making of the portal, including a scene of three sorcerers casting spells on it.
Edited: The part showing the column of rock forming is slightly faster than in the unedited, and the part with the three sorcerers has been edited out.

Tebok, on Tecna trying to close the portal:

Unedited: "You are needed here Layla, to help rebuild. What Tecna is doing takes great courage. We must allow her to live out her destiny."
Edited: "If she has chosen to go forward, you must let her do it. Perhaps she will be the one to close the gate. Perhaps this act of sacrifice is her destiny."

mightymarty2:
I think with this its a shame 4kids didn't show the sorcerers creating the portal
Abby: I liked the first edit that added a hint of backstory to the teachers, but the rest of the edits seem like annoying cuts to me. I would have loved to see the dust sequences.
