Ghosts of Elyon is the seventeenth episode of season 1 of the TV series.

Plot[]

Main article: /Transcript

Will and the rest of the girls tried to tell Elyon the truth about Phobos and Meridian, but that became very hard when Phobos taught his sister to make ghostly images of herself to confuse her former friends and the rebels.

The real Elyon was upset that she didn’t bring her sketchbook from Earth so Phobos sent Lurdens through a portal to her old bedroom to fetch it. Will, who was there, tried to stop them but was defeated. However the creatures also trashed a stash of chocolate, the scent from which Blunk was able to follow to Phobos's and Elyon's secret Meridian mountain hideout.

The Guardians and Caleb searched for Elyon under the mountain but were ambushed by Lurdens. Forced into the open, they battled Cedric on the mountainside before returning to Earth, no closer to warning Elyon of the terrible danger she's in.

In the B-story, Will needed some privacy. In order to save Elyon, the girls tricked their parents into thinking they were having a sleepover party, but Will was grounded for having a mess on her room and runs away from home.

Release notes[]

  • This episode was originally scripted as the 17th of season 1, but was pushed forward to the 16th slot for broadcasting purposes in the US. However, it remains episode 17 on all of the European DVD releases, as well as the Brazilian one.[citation needed]
    • The US order introduced a minor continuity error. In Walk This Way, Will suggested to Hay Lin to use her enhanced hearing (from being the air Guardian) to find the marching band, even giving the scientific explanation that "sound is carried by air". But in this episode, Hay Lin had the idea of using this ability unprompted, shushing all the other girls to listen more closely - including Will.
  • This was the first episode to debut on Toon Disney in the United States.[citation needed]

Possible mistakes[]

  • Elyon's ghostly copies were shown to have no shadows, but in one scene, one of them had a shadow.
  • Elyon's ghostly copies normally broke apart when touched, but in one scene, Blunk touched one and it remained whole.

Behind the scenes[]

Trivia[]

  • Elyon started to learn how to use her powers consciously.
  • Elyon was revealed to have drawing as a hobby, with her sketchbook playing a critical role in this episode. In F is for Facades, it was confirmed to be her favorite hobby.
  • The W.I.T.C.H. girls' transformation into Guardians reused footage from their very first transformation (from It Begins), which looked unique compared to the usual ones.
  • Will transformed on her own for the second time, after The Labyrinth. However, this time she merely transformed in a flash of pink light while hidden under her clothes on the bed.
