"Stop the Presses" is the thirteenth episode of W.I.T.C.H. It first aired April 23, 2005.
Summary[]
Phobos is preparing the Ritual of Amalgamation. He needs symbols of Elyon's body, mind, and spirit. Cedric takes her hairbrush, A+ math test, and is trying to take her breath. Taranee and an unwilling Irma become part of the newspaper staff. They send Blunk to keep watch over Elyon and they also found out there's a portal at the school. Meanwhile, Martin catches a glimpse of a hermeneuta beast from Meridian and the only thing that will get him away long enough for the girls to send it back home is a date with Irma Lair.
Catching the little beast is not as easy as it sounds, especially when the mom shows up. In the end, Cedric finally captures Elyon's breath in a balloon and all that's left is to take her to Meridian. In the B-story, Irma is angry when she finds out she must work on the newspaper with Martin, and Caleb and Blunk are assigned to keep the eye on Elyon.
