Timmy Turner is a 10-year-old boy with overprotective parents who don't let him have any fun. Luckily, he has his fairy godparents, Cosmo and Wanda, to grant him wishes and make his life more exciting. In season 5 episode 11, titled "Big Wanda / Moving Day," Timmy's adventures with his fairy godparents continue.
In "Big Wanda," Timmy's life is turned upside down when his normally petite and friendly fairy godmother, Wanda, goes through a sudden growth spurt. Wanda transforms into a giant, wreaking havoc in Dimmsdale and causing Timmy and his friends to scramble to find a way to return her to her normal self. Along the way, they encounter challenges caused by Wanda's size, including a run-in with a nasty group of bullies. Will they be able to shrink Wanda before she causes any more trouble?
In the second episode, "Moving Day," Timmy's family receives some bad news: they have to move out of their beloved house in Dimmsdale and relocate to a new town. Timmy is devastated at the thought of leaving his friends behind and starting anew, but he gets an idea when he realizes that Cosmo and Wanda can grant him one last wish in his old house.
