The following have their own pages:
- Adventure Time:
- Thanks to its sudden cancellation during halfway of Season 9, the series had to hastily tie up four plotlines (Finn and Fern, Gumbald, Simon and Betty and GOLB) at once with "Come Along With Me". Had the series not been cancelled, the rest of the episodes would've focused more on Gumbald and his plans, as well as Minerva, Susan Strong and Sweet P. The Simon and Betty/GOLB plotlines were also originally planned to be part of the real finale of the show before being reworked into what we got today.
- Finn's love life has been one of the most notorious plot threads among fans since the beginning of the series, with the amount of teasing, confirming ships and sinking them seasons or episodes later, which caused a lot of anger and frustration with shippers. It happened with Princess Bubblegum, and it happened again with Flame Princess. And once the show finally did something between him and Huntress Wizard, the finale and the Distant Lands miniseries completely ignored their relationship. While the former suffered because of the cancellation, the latter had no reason to ignore this plot thread since the miniseries gives closure to the main characters, which ended up frustrating fans who waited years for some resolution.
- American Dad!:
- Steve's budding relationship with Akiko was abruptly dropped after they officially became a couple in "Spelling Bee My Baby", with Akiko vanishing from the series afterwards and leaving Steve single once again.
- Season 9 began a long arc of Jeff getting sent into space by Roger when a ship came to get him. We finally got to see some of Roger's people and learned that he had been in a relationship with the ship's leader. While Jeff eventually made it back to Earth, Roger's species, their leader, and his home planet haven't been seen or mentioned since.
- Archer: Up to Season 4, who was Archer's father was a recurring subplot, but after the death of one of the possible candidates and the introduction of another one, the show completely dropped this plot and never brought it up again. According to interviews, the series creator indicated he did this because he felt the audience had no interest in that particular plot.
- As Told by Ginger has a particularly jarring one in the episode "Wicked Game": a deeply involved plot about a plan involving Ginger's best friends to break her and Darren up. In a series that normally follows things through, the sudden lack of consequence to this episode is especially jarring.
- Avatar: The Last Airbender:
- The season one finale features Aang traveling to the spirit world meeting the potent character Koh the Face Stealer, who ominously says "We'll meet again," as Aang leaves. They never met again in the series, not even in the second season of The Legend of Korra which dealt with nothing but spirits. That said, this was touched upon in Escape from the Spirit World, a Flash game that takes place between seasons 2 and 3, where they do meet again, and Koh is more than a little eager to pay Aang back for escaping the last time they met. The comic book Avatar: The Last Airbender - The Search does feature Koh more prominently, though he is never actually seen in the story.
- The Rough Rhinos were introduced early in Book 2 as recurring antagonists. When Katara looks into Jet's memories, it is revealed that they were responsible for the death of Jet's parents, which is treated as a Wham Shot. Their appearances set them up as major threats for later down the road, but they're never seen again for the rest of the series, only showing up again in the graphic novels.
- Ben 10: Alien Force: At the end of the second season, it's implied that Ben's Omnitrix resets, giving him 10 new aliens, stating he "doesn't recognize any of these guys" and switches into Lodestar, an alien never seen before. However, in the third season, he has the same exact aliens from the first two seasons. He wouldn't switch into Lodestar until episode 5, with him having no memory of him.
- Ben 10: Ultimate Alien: Three arcs fell victim to this; the lingering threat of King Viktor, the redemption journey of Charmcaster (whose true name is Hope), and the possession of Elena Validus by the Hive nanochips. This was because then-series producer Dwanye McDuffie passing away during production. The people placed in charge of the following series outright stated they had no interest in continuing them. While that first plot got some satisfying closure through Dr. Viktor becoming himself again (with Zs'Skayr being shown removing Xarion's soul and allowing Viktor to regain control), the others didn't. Elena cameoed as herself toward the end of the series with no explanation as to how she was freed of the nano chips' influence, while Charmcaster never went by her true name again and saw no escape from the Heel–Face Revolving Door (as the answer for what side she'd finally land on was to happen in a proposed Spin-Off starring Ben's cousin Gwen, who is Charmcaster's main rival).
- The format change in Big Hero 6: The Series from the first two seasons' 22-minute action-packed episodes to more comedic 11-min. episodes meant that Karmi's story arc after her departure from the show was nixed. She returns in one episode to confirm she and Hiro have feelings for each other, but this is never explored any further. Hardlight, a formidable foe who was also hinted to have a double life, also returns, but he is easily defeated and arrested in that episode. Even Sirque, who got away and used dangerous portal technology, was arrested off-screen between seasons.
- Birdboy's debut episode in Birdman (1967) ended with Birdman promising to help him find his father, and the search was occasionally brought up in Birdboy's later appearances. However, nothing ever came of it.
- In the Season 2 finale of Code Lyoko, the diary of Franz Hopper mentions that Lyoko and XANA were originally created to stop a certain "Project Carthage", a military program designed to "disrupt enemy communications". This led to the expectation that the next season would deal with the Project somewhat, while delving into Lyoko's history some more. Not so. Season 3 took off in a different direction, and other than the fanon assumption that "The Men in Black" seen throughout the show are from this organization, Project Carthage is never, ever mentioned again.
- Codename: Kids Next Door: Some of the villains have animal parts. According to the creator, an episode addressing this had been planned at some point but never came to be, so the villains all inexplicably just look like that.
- Danny Phantom has many cases, due to co-producer Steve Marmel departing the show before its final season, with the show's writing team getting replaced as well.note Butch Hartman and the new writers had little interest in resolving anything outside Danny and Sam's UST for the final season, with the biggest loose ends being:
- Anything involving Vlad's plans with Fright Knight, the Crown of Fire, his Elaborate Underground Base, and his acquirement of Axion Labs.
- The return of Danny's evil older self, which was heavily hinted at at the end of his sole appearance, with Marmel openly stating that he did have plans for more episodes starring the villain, including the character serving as the Final Boss of the series. This was later averted with the release of the 2023 graphic novel, Danny Phantom: A Glitch In Time, which actually involves the return of Dark Danny.
- The show's penultimate episode has Valerie discover that her employer Vlad is the villainous Plasmius. The episode ends with her saying that she plans to do something with this information, but the final episode makes no mention of this plotline whatsoever, with Valerie herself only getting two non-speaking background cameos.
- Both Marmel and Hartman have confirmed that if the show lasted longer, Danielle's plotline would have gone on to have her revealed to the Fentons and become Happily Adopted by them, becoming Danny and Jazz's little sister.
- DuckTales (2017): "The Duck Knight Returns!" ends on a cliffhanger where Jim Starling is revealed to have survived the explosion, and becomes Negaduck. However, he is never seen again after this episode, not even in the final season special "Let's Get Dangerous!". Frank Angones did state that "I didn't want to shortchange him" and that he had a big story planned for him in a later season, but the series' cancellation after season 3 ultimately prevented it.
- Frisky Dingo intentionally played with this trope on at least two occasions.
- In one episode, it was revealed that Xander had a long lost twin brother named Nearl, who planned to become a villain and seek vengeance on him. Nearl was then promptly shot and killed by Ronnie, who said things were already complicated enough without throwing some "Evil Twin bullshit" into the mix.
- One of the last episodes of the second season introduced Xander's illegitimate teenage daughter. She initially seemed like she was being set up to join the cast as a major character in the next season, but the episode abruptly ended with Xander paying her an outrageous sum of money to leave and never contact him again.
- Futurama:
- The pilot episode introduced the career chip, which supposedly assigned one a permanent job and was ostensibly mandated by the law. Although Smitty and Leela both say that those who reject their career chips are labelled "job deserters" and "fired out of a cannon into the sun", nobody is ever shown facing those legal consequences. The career chip appears twice in the show and only once in the comics, and the time gap between its two appearances in the main series is quite large.
- In "The Why of Fry", Nibbler ponders on Leela being "The Other", implying she may have a destiny of her own connected with Fry's destiny. But he doesn't elaborate on this and it never comes up again.
- Near the end of the fourth and final of the direct to DVD films, "Into The Wild Green Yonder", The Encyclopod, a massive creature that collects specimens of endangered species around the universe, adds some human DNA to its collection. But when Fry questions why it did so considering humans are still around, it simply leaves without comment and after the series revival, this is never picked up on.
- In an early Gargoyles episode, Demona is left thinking that Elisa is dead, which Goliath says is probably for the best for now. Nothing really came of it before she saw Elisa alive again in the season one finale, probably because the writers realized how hard it would be to keep Elisa's existence a secret from Demona while she was still living her normal life.
- Generator Rex: The crossover with the Ben 10 series hinted at the possibility Rex and Ben will meet again. Unfortunately, mostly due to Derrick J Wyatt disliking Generator Rex, this was never followed up in Omniverse. The Ben 10 reboot would have a much younger Ben meet a different Rex.
- Gravity Falls: At the end of the episode "Boyz Crazy", Dipper ends up upsetting Wendy by asking her out when she's left heartbroken after dumping Robbie... but they appear to be on good terms again in the episodes that followed. It's never shown or explained how Dipper made amends with her.
- Kim Possible:
- Ron Stoppable has a romantic arc with Zita Flores, a girl who works at a movie theater who he quickly became infatuated with and who shares his love of gaming (albeit of different genres). She only appears in two season 2 episodes before reappearing in the Grand Finale over 50 episodes later, where she's been randomly paired off with Ron's friend Felix. It's never mentioned at what point they stopped dating.
- "Animal Attraction" ended with Senior Senor Jr. developing a crush on Kim Possible, one she seemed to somewhat be flattered by at the end. Outside of a brief mention in one comic, it's never brought up again.
- In the third season of King of the Hill, an ongoing plot thread dealt with Hank and Peggy attempting to have another baby but failing due to Hank's narrow urethra. What made this more aggravating for the Hills was that Hank's father Cotton had somehow managed to impregnate his wife Didi, with Cotton being 75 and Didi the same age as Hank. This thread followed only into the first episode of the following season and was then dropped. Though it was implied in "Next of Shin" that they would give up after they learned this was upsetting Bobby.
- Two cases in Max Steel; a flashback shows that Jefferson Smith's predecessor as CEO of N-Tek (and, by extension, the man in charge of the secret espionage division) was a man named Marco Nathanson, who bore an uncanny resemblance to season one Big Bad John Dread. According to the original producer, this was actually meant as a Red Herring, though later said by others to be exactly what it looked like, but neither interpretation is followed up on. Even more blatant, the episode "Truth be Told" features real-life athlete Jeremy McGrath discovering that the protagonist and his friends are ex-secret-agents-turned-vigilantes, and he suggests bringing in one or two friends he has on the sports circuit who could help the heroes save the day on occasion. This is the final scene of the episode, except the episode is also the Series Finale. Along with half the premise of the show, this was never picked up on in the subsequent made-for-TV movies.
- My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic:
- In the first two seasons of the show, the Cutie Mark Crusaders were shown to have very explicit budding talents, with Apple Bloom being particularly adept at construction, Sweetie Belle having a fantastic singing voice, and Scootaloo being a great choreographer, and it was implied that those were going to be the special talents that led them to getting their cutie marks. By the time Season 5 rolled around, those talents had been almost entirely forgotten about in favor of the three of them discovering they had a shared talent in helping others realize their cutie marks.note
- Season 4 had a recurring subplot about The Mane Six rebuilding The Castle of the Two Sisters, Princess Celestia and Luna's old home, implying it may be used as a new base of sorts for their future adventures down the line. But after Twilight gets her own castle in the season finale, this plot is immediately forgotten. Aside from one alternate outlier in Season 5, the castle does not return until Season 8, when the Young Six start to use it as their own secret base.
- Starting with Season 4 the Tree of Harmony was introduced and increasingly built up, becoming more important to the plot and even gaining a sentient form. The last we see of this form is in Uprooted when the Young Six building a treehouse at its location revives it (roll with it) and it tells them their actions have made it more powerful than before. With that it promptly vanishes from the storyline save for the Treehouse appearing as a backdrop in a couple more scenes, and plays no more role whatsoever in the story. Even the Young Six's Big Damn Heroes moment in the Grand Finale has nothing to do with the tree or its sentient spirit, and there's no mention of it in the Distant Finale either.
- My Little Pony: Pony Life: In Season 2 there was a story arc involving a giant balloon floating in the sky shooting out bubbles containing magical objects inside them. However the balloon later disappears without any explanation of who created it and why. In the final episode its Hand Waved through a song that the balloon was popped by our heroes.
- The Owl House:
- It was implied that more was supposed to be done with the Bat Queen before she just vanished from the show. Luz promising to find her original owner and possible involvement of the whistle she gave Luz never materialized.
- Anything to do with Vee and the Basilisk project was scrapped in favor of Hunter and The Collector. Vee doesn't even get to go back to the Boiling Isles until the very end of the series.
- Pet Alien: The aliens' rivalry with Emperor Breet was the focus of the early Season 1 episode "Evil Emperor", with Breet vowing to take over the Earth and get revenge upon his initial defeat. However, when Breet returned near the end of the season in "The Day of Judgement", his intended revenge was dialed down to simply screwing with Swanky by sending him away to be an ambassador for a hostile alien planet, with his original goal of taking over the Earth not even being mentioned. In Season 2, Breet is absent altogether and his rivalry with the aliens was never followed up on again.
- Ready Jet Go!: In "So Many Moons", Mindy mentions that her parents are thinking about having another baby. This could have set up an arc about Mindy preparing to be a big sister, but this was subsequently dropped and forgotten about in later episodes.
- Lampshaded in Regular Show. One episode ended with Huge Head, hiding in the bushes of the park, planning to steal Pops's identity as revenge for Pops accidentally doing the same to him. Several seasons later, it turns out he’s still waiting in the bushes plotting, and the main cast has noticed him and have stopped caring about it since he’s been there for so long. At the end of the episode, he interrupts the main plot to finally try and steal Pops's identity only to get sucked into the Ugly Hole (don't ask) and clog it with his giant head.
- Rocky and Bullwinkle had a storyline about Boris counterfeiting cereal box tops to procure all the prizes from cereal promotions and ruin the world economy. This did not sit well with General Mills, the show's sponsor (and owner, who likely thought it was inappropriate case of Biting-the-Hand Humor), and "The Great Box Top Caper" was stopped after a few episodes.
- The Simpsons:
- Krusty the Clown was originally intended to be Homer Simpson in disguise in order to set up a story where Bart finds out that the clown he loves and idolises so much is actually his father (whom he doesn't get along with). This is why Krusty the Clown has Homer Simpson's exact body shape. However, this was dropped when the writers realised that Krusty would no longer work as a character once the twist were revealed to the audience. Instead, Krusty became just another Simpsons character and was used to satirise children's entertainers who pretend to be nice when in character but are actually depressed, trashy and corrupt behind the scenes.
- Following the offscreen death of Bart's teacher Edna Krabappel in Season 25, Season 29's "Left Behind" saw the show's first attempt to replace her...with her husband Ned Flanders, who takes over Bart's class after his mall store, the Leftorium, goes bankrupt. Ned's new role only comes up in two subsequent episodes (Season 30's "Crystal Blue-Haired Persuasion" and Season 31's "Better Off Ned") before Season 33's "My Octopus and a Teacher" introduces new character Raychelle Peyton as the new teacher of the class, with no explanation as to where Ned went. The following season's "The Many Saints of Springfield" finally explains what became of him (as in a previous episode in which he held a job at the school, he was fired for mentioning Jesus in class), with plenty of Leaning on the Fourth Wall:Ned: It all started back when I was briefly Bart's teacher.Marge: You were Bart's teacher?
- South Park:
- In "A Ladder to Heaven" and the rest of the season, Tweek is no longer treated as the fourth member of the main boys. While Butters got a whole episode dedicated to him getting kicked out of the group, Tweek received no such send-off — he's just suddenly not hanging out with Cartman, Stan, and Kyle anymore.
- "Faith Hilling": The plot with the cats conspiring to wage war against humanity is deliberately left unresolved by the end of the episode.
- Darth Chef never appears again after "The Return of Chef" despite the fact that he is still at large after the episode ends. Chef's fully organic appearance in South Park: The Stick of Truth makes it borderline Canon Discontinuity.
- In the Story Arc of Season 20, nostalgia-powered sentient fruit called Member Berries are threatening a conspiracy that Randy Marsh eventually finds out about and teams up with Presidential nominee Mr. Garrison to stop. Unfortunately, the conclusion to this arc relied on the presumption that Hillary Clinton would win the current election. When Donald Trump, whom Garrison was serving as a proxy for, won instead, the plot is abruptly stopped by Garrison and Randy brainwashed by the Member Berries. The Member Berries then get to stay in the White House and nothing is done about them in the end.
- Season 23's "Season Finale" heavily involves a Mexican boy named Alejandro, who's been taken away from his real parents. He's treated as a Replacement Goldfish by the White family, who have lost their son Jason, and even get an extra younger adopted brother to fill the void. Alejandro is intolerant of the abuse he faces and eventually snaps, destroying buildings and cars. He gets shot in the arm by the police, but manages to escape. We never see him again, and we don't know whether or not he managed to find his parents, or even if he's still alive. "Basic Cable" does show that Alejandro's brother still lives with the Whites, but that's as far as the arc has gone (as of The Streaming Wars Part 2).
- Season 24 is made of several hour-long specials. The first one, "The Pandemic Special", ends with South Park being ravaged by the pandemic, engulfed by forest fires, subjected to Police Brutality, with Mickey Mouse promising to get his revenge against Randy Marsh, Jimbo on life support at the hospital and everyone sporting moustaches as a result of smoking Randy's tainted weed. After the first special, every single one of these events but the pandemic is forgotten about. And then the pandemic itself gets resolved thanks to "The Hollywood Elites" (AKA Trey Parker and Matt Stone themselves).
- Star vs. the Forces of Evil
- In a season one episode, Star accidentally gave her friend Marco a monstrous, demonic tentacle arm that caused him to go on a rampage. The episode ends with the arm, as it transforms back into a normal limb, telling Marco that We Will Meet Again, as it's permanently a part of him now. While the arm is briefly alluded to in the season one finale, and later mentioned in at the end of season three as part of a quick joke, it fails to make a return appearance for the remainder of the series. After the series ended, the staff stated that there were numerous attempts to follow-up on that plot point, but they couldn't figure out a satisfying story.
- The episode "Into the Wand" has Star learn hints about her mother's backstory, as well as that of three other queens of Mewni: Eclipsa the Queen of Darkness, Solaria the Monster-Carver and Celena the Shy. Eclipsa becomes a major character in the last two seasons, Solaria is important to the backstory of the final Big Bad, but Celena, and the comments about her hiding "cosmic secrets," are never really expanded on. The Magic Book of Spells, published about two years later, slightly calls attention to this in Celena's chapter, as Star's implies that she doesn't actually know any that important.
- "Starfari" ends with Buff Frog becoming Mewni's new Royal Monster Expert. Buff Frog's following appearence has him with a lot of the other monsters choosing to leave Mewni and his new position is never mentioned again.
- "Surviving the Spiderbites" ends with The Reveal that Globgor wasn't merely a Hero with Bad Publicity but a true Mewman-eating monster warlord that celebrated violence against mewmans and even ate them, was responsible destroyed the Kingdom of the Spiderbites and the death of King Shastacan, this culminates in Eclipsa revealing that she wants to restore the Magic Book of Spells which leads to Star starting to distrust her and hiding the remain piece of the book she possess so Glosaryck doesn't restore it. Despite this seeming like important developments, they are completely ignored by later episodes. Globgor's less moral actions are ignored in later episodes and is treated once again as just a Nice Guy and Star never seems distrustful of Eclipsa again. The restoration of the Book of Spells is touched in one other episode where Eclipsa succesfully restored and then she never uses it again.
- After many episodes of ship teasing Marco and Kelly's relationship, the two end up becoming "breakup buddies" (basically a G-rated version of Friends with Benefits.) in "Kelly's World", this is mentioned a couple of times before is briefly mentioned they stopped doing it and their relationship is never touched again.
- "A Spell With No Name" involves the titular spell going rouge and being established as a spell so powerful it could destroy the multiverse. The ending of the episode teases that while the situation was controlled, the spell would strike back soon. The spell is used once in a later episode and it never goes rouge again.
- Star Wars: The Clone Wars: The Zillo Beast Arc towards the end of season 2 deals with the Republic seeking to study the titular beast, due to it's scales being virtually impenetrable against any conventional weaponry and the possibilities this could mean for armor development for starships and soldiers. At the end of the arc, the Zillo Beast is killed, but the scientist in charge of studying it is then given orders to clone it as well. Both of these plots would remain completely unresolved until over a decade later when the spin-off show, Star Wars: The Bad Batch, finally shows that the Empire did finally get around to cloning it. However, the initial reason the beast was even studied in the first place (for it's applications in armor development) apparently never went anywhere.
- Steven Universe: The episode "Last One Out of Beach City" introduced a potential love interest for Pearl but despite "Mystery Girl" leaving her number at the end of it, she never showed up again.
- Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (1987): The episode "Raphael Meets His Match" introduced a character named Mona Lisa and ended with her moving to the sewers and the implication she would go on more adventures with the Turtles. She never appeared again.
- Similarly, "Muckman Messes Up" introduced the titular Muckman and his partner Joe Eyeball, and it ended with him telling Donatello to postpone coming up with a cure for his mutation so that he can enjoy his superhero career, implying that he'd show up as an occasional recurring character. He never appeared again.
- Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (2003)
- One episode ended with the people of the USA becoming aware of the turtles' existence after the president came face to face with them and mistook them for aliens. This was never mentioned again. More glaringly, an ongoing plot in the series' sixth season, featuring Corrupt Corporate Executive Darius Dun, was aborted when the series was re-retooled and the turtles were sent back into the present.
- A lot of the story arcs went nowhere due to Executive Meddling. Not only was the sixth season's story (Fast Forward) supposed to continue so that it could wrap up the hanging threads there, but the shoehorned seventh season's story arc (Back to the Sewer) was also supposed to wrap up ALL loose plot threads in an arc called "The Shredder Wars"... before the series was canceled. Granted, the series was then finished off with a mega-crossover love letter to fans TV movie, but that never wrapped up anything other than the final fate of a couple of series regulars.
- Todd McFarlane's Spawn: A Season 1 episode introduced a minor subplot about Angela, a warrior from Heaven who voiced her intention to hunt down and kill Spawn. Due to the notorious legal battle between Todd McFarlane and Neil Gaiman over ownership of the character, Angela never appeared on the show again, necessitating the creation of a similar character named Jade.
- Every set of producers for the Hasbro-owned Transformers had to deal with never knowing if their incarnation of the franchise be renewed or not, and every series got wrapped up in a hurry when the plug got pulled with little notice. Plot lines would also change suddenly, due to the desire of higher-ups to push new toys and promotions.
- In the third season of The Transformers, Blitzwing began to have doubts about the Decepticon cause, and a deleted scene even has him considering joining the Autobots. The writers wanted him to become an Autobot in a later episode; however, the editors forced them to instead give this arc to the new toy Octane. (A close viewing of one episode featuring the character suggests that this change happened at the very last minute - Octane references events that happened to Blitzwing, and demonstrates a number of the latter's quirks like getting stuck while transforming.)
- Transformers: Animated, though ending fairly conclusively, had a bevy of plot threads Left Hanging, included Meltdown making a return, Waspinator and Blackarachnia getting stranded in an uncertain location, where Sari's protoform came from, and both Lockdown and Swindle escaping. It should be noted that the cancellation that resulted in a number of these plots threads being unresolved was a mix of Hasbro's Executive Meddling and being Screwed by the Network.note
- This goes back to G1, where "The Rebirth" three-parter introduces a ton of new characters and situations... and suddenly has to wrap up the entire show, as during its production it was cut from a fourth season to a five-parter to a three-parter. The various comic series have faced the same problem, though with the Dreamwave Comics series, it had more to do with the death of the company itself. There's one exception to the rule: Transformers: Prime. Despite all Hasbro's talk of the constant reboots ending in favor of a "new, aligned continuity" producers plotted a three-season series with a beginning, middle, and end. When that end came a bit sooner than intended with season three's episode count getting cut down, it apparently didn't hamper them much. As such, we get the only western TF property to finish all it started and have a fully conclusive ending instead of a rushed wrap-up.
- Beast Wars mostly avoided this and, even after the third season turned out to be the last, managed to wrap things up pretty well, with the only major plotline to be truncated being Tarantulas and his feud with the Vok. It did, however, have a weird case of this where the beginning and resolution of an arc are there, but the middle part explaining how they’re connected got left out; season two has Dinobot back up his memories aboard the Axalon’s computer shortly before he dies and in the finale, his evil clone gains those memories after his connection to Rampage is severed. There was supposed to be an episode connecting those events where Rattrap would try to upload the back-up memories into the clone, but its script was rejected and the episode went unproduced, leaving the clone's fate in the finale a bit inexplicable.
- Winx Club: In the second episode of season 4, the Winx promise the pixies that they will take the last fairy on Earth (Roxy) to Pixie Village so a pixie can bond with her. They make it as clear as possible that this will happen, but it never did. The pixies don't even appear at all in the fifth season.Bloom: Whoever the lucky pixie will be, we'll come back to introduce you to the new fairy. The last fairy on Earth.
Lockette: Is that a promise?
Bloom: That's a promise. Winx honor.
