Abel and a convict named Leon Garcia investigate a British orphanage supposedly run by the mysterious Professor Barrie, who has been turning orphans into fairies (evil fairies firing sound waves at people and so forth!). It seems as though the orphans have killed him and now hate all adults. The lead orphan, Wendy, drugs Abel and captures him, but another orphan, Peter, a failed experiment, frees him at Leon's instigation. As they try to escape, Wendy stabs Peter before facing off against Abel - she activates the Tinker Bell system, which allows the fairies to telepathically link up with Wendy to attack, but Leon destroys it and prepares to exterminate all the fairies. Abel tries to stop him, but it takes the soulful eyes of a cute little orphan (Peter, duh) to warm Leon's heart. The fairies are shipped off to London at great expense, and once again everything's nicely resolved in an episode.
Well, at least this one had Abel in. Plus Leon wasn't exactly a bad character overall. In fact, I didn't think this episode was as annoying as some of the previous filler has been; I still hanker for Esther's return to the plot, but despite the fairly annoying Peter Pan motif running through the episode (if you haven't spotted it from the summary you're dense ^_^) I found the whole thing surprisingly enjoyable - great animation as usual certainly helped, but it didn't feature any damsels in distress and had killer sonic fairies, which you definitely don't see every day!
