Miraculous Ladybug: Episode List

1- "Climatika" ("Stormy Weather")
Airdate: October 19, 2015

The episode begins with the finale of the KIDZ+ television contest to find a new weather girl. It's all down to two contestants: Mireille Caquet and Aurore Beauréal. The voting is up to the viewers at home.

While the competition is airing on the television in Marinette's home, Manon, whom Marinette is babysitting, steals Marinette's phone so that she can vote for Mireille. Marinette chases Manon around the living room, trying to get both her phone and hat back from her. When she gets one thing back, she loses the other. Tikki offers Marinette words of encouragement, and the bell rings, revealing Alya.

Alya reveals that Adrien is at the nearby park for a photo shoot. This makes Marinette excited, but Manon appears, halting their gossip over Adrien. Alya offers to take care of Manon while Marinette goes to watch Adrien, but Marinette declines, stating that Manon is her responsibility. Manon runs off, grabbing pots, pans, and making noise. Alya helps Marinette calm down Manon; she has experience with younger children due to her younger sisters. Manon is curious as to who Alya is, and Alya responds by saying she is a unicorn princess from the planet Rispa, currently in the form of a human. Alya picks up Manon, swinging her around in the air, before placing her on Marinette's shoulders. Together, the three of them head off to the park.

Back at the KIDZ+ studio, the votes are in: Mireille has won by a landslide with 82% of the votes. A devastated Aurore runs off the stage. Hawk Moth, in his lair, feels Aurore's anger and sends an akuma after her.

The akuma finds Aurore in an elevator, embedding itself into her parasol. Hawk Moth proposes to make Aurore into the best weather girl the world has seen, so long as she can get Ladybug's and Cat Noir's Miraculouses, to which Aurore agrees. From the elevator emerges the purple and white super villain, Stormy Weather.

Alya, Marinette, and Manon hide around a tree, watching Adrien's photo shoot in the park. Alya asks what Marinette is going to do, and this leads to Marinette fantasizing what her future with Adrien would be, including three children, a possible dog, and a definite hamster.

Alya calms her down, and they attempt to walk "casually" past the photo shoot. Alya points out that Adrien can't see them. When Marinette tries to turn around and start over, he spots them. Adrien waves, causing Marinette to wave in return, and a large grin to appear on her face. Trophy in hand, Mireille enters an elevator heading down. Before she can reach her destined floor, Stormy Weather appears. Stormy Weather traps Mireille in the elevator, freezing it open with ice. She then runs off.

The episode returns to Adrien's photo shoot, the girls standing off to the side, watching. To encourage Adrien, the photographer has Adrien imagine his mother with a bowl of spaghetti and doing various things with said bowl (i.e. dropping it). Marinette cannot stop smiling, her mouth dropping open after Alya reaches over and closes it. Manon is bored until she spots a man with Mireille balloons. Manon begs Marinette to buy her a balloon, having to scream at her to bring her out of her trance. This causes the photo shoot to halt and everyone to look at Marinette. Alya offers to take Manon to get the balloon, but with Manon stuck to Marinette's leg, Marinette leaves, Alya stays, and the photo shoot returns to normal.

Stormy Weather sashays out of the KIDZ+ studio to a crowd chanting Mireille's name. Angry that they still cheer for Mireille, Stormy Weather unleashes a wind storm on the people, blowing them and the metal railings away. Stormy Weather then takes off into the sky.

Back in the park, Marinette pays for a Mireille balloon, handing it to Manon. Manon grabs Marinette's hand and rushes off to the carousel. She guilt trips Marinette into staying with her when Alya arrives, informing Marinette that Adrien needs a female partner (he looks too lethargic for the photographer's taste). Marinette protests, stating that she has to stay with Manon, but Alya insists, taking Manon and jumping on the unicorn in the carousel. Alya distracts Manon, allowing Marinette to be with Adrien.

In the sky, Stormy Weather's flight is halted by a stray Mireille balloon. She looks down, finding the park vendor handing another one to a child. Stormy Weather makes her presence known by sending out another windstorm, blowing the people away. She then surrounds the carousel in thick ice, covering it entirely. Manon and Alya are trapped inside. Marinette runs off, hiding behind a park bench. She brings out Tikki and transforms into Ladybug.

Stormy Weather lands in the park, zapping the Mireille balloons with her parasol. Adrien sees this and takes off to find Plagg. Adrien pulls out a piece of Camembert, and the kwami flies to it. Wasting no time, Adrien transforms into Cat Noir.

Ladybug runs over to the carousel, determined to free Manon and Alya. Taking her yo-yo, she wraps it thrice around the ice and pulls, but all she succeeds to do is nothing. The yo-yo comes free, knocking Ladybug back. Getting up, she runs over to Manon and Alya, reassuring them that she will free them. Ladybug accidentally calls Manon by name. She covers up her slip by saying Marinette found her and told her about Manon. Alya nods at the superhero, pulling Manon away--distracting her--as Ladybug runs off to find Stormy Weather.

Stormy Weather isn't far. Cat Noir stops her as she is leaving the park, throwing a few puns at her while he warns her to stop. Annoyed, she sends a gust of wind his way, blowing him off the park's fence, over several buildings, and into four cars. Ladybug finds him splayed on the road and offers him a hand. He takes it, returning to his feet and kissing her hand. She pushes his face away, reminding him that they don't have time for his games.

Stormy Weather floats over to them, interrupting them. She points her parasol into the sky, causing clouds to appear over Paris. Lightning rains down, aimed at Cat Noir, but Ladybug rushes at him, knocking them both to the side. They roll, Cat Noir ending on top of Ladybug. Cat Noir grins impishly at Ladybug. Ladybug is not amused, turning Cat Noir's head to remind him of the problem at hand. Cat Noir sprints toward Stormy Weather, but Stormy Weather freezes the road, making it slick. Sending yet another gust to Cat Noir, he is thrown backward.

Cat Noir only remains on the street due to Ladybug, who thought quickly and wrapped her yo-yo around a lamppost and grabbed Cat Noir's tail.

When the wind stops, the heroes fall. Cat Noir bounces back to his feet, ready to chase Stormy Weather, but Ladybug stops him, telling him to think before he leaps. Ladybug then runs up the side of a building. Cat Noir follows suit on the opposite side of the street.

They jump off at the same time, weapons swinging at Stormy Weather. She turns, blowing them and many cars several streets away. The two land, dodging the cars as they fall. Suddenly, a bus comes flying at them. Ladybug pulls Cat Noir close, swinging her yo-yo rapidly, as the bus falls on them. The yo-yo acts like a drill, leaving the two heroes safe inside the bus, other than Cat Noir accidentally getting hit on the head by Ladybug's yo-yo. In the park, the weather becomes worse. Firefighters work with axes to dig Manon and Alya out, but the ice becomes thicker, more jagged. Alya cannot distract Manon from the fact the ice is groaning and pulls her back under the carousel, and the two girls show fear.

Stormy Weather halts her flight to speak with Hawk Moth. He determines that the world knows of her powers and that it is time for her to keep her end of the deal. He tells her his plan.

Ladybug opens one of the bus' windows and holds on to Cat Noir's staff. Cat Noir lengthens it, allowing Ladybug to get out and pull him up afterward. A nearby digital billboard turns on, revealing Stormy Weather giving the weather. She casts all of France in eternal winter, and it begins to snow. Cat Noir brushes her threat off, stating that he would've looked good in a swimsuit. In the same tone, Ladybug responds that the cat suit is good enough. She knows where Stormy Weather is. Together, Cat Noir and Ladybug rush to the KIDZ+ studio.

When they arrive, Cat Noir points out a picture of Aurore, and the two realize that her parasol has the akuma in it. The two move along, running to the recording area, busting open the doors on the way. They find it empty and learn that the weather forecast was prerecorded. Laughing, Stormy Weather appears in the doorway behind Ladybug and Cat Noir. She aims a blast at the lights, taking out all of the lights in the building. A couple of them fall as she does this. Laughing, Stormy Weather runs off.

Meanwhile, the ice in the park is becoming thicker, poking holes in the roof of the carousel. Alya pleads for Ladybug to hurry.

Ladybug stumbles, unable to find her way in the dark. Cat Noir grabs her hand, able to see due to his night vision. He leads her through the building and up two flights of stairs. Ladybug protests, but when she is hit with a fire extinguisher by Stormy Weather, she allows Cat Noir to continue leading her. They end up on the roof, Cat Noir holding Ladybug's hand. Stormy Weather cackles, releasing a cyclone around the building.

Ladybug moves to retaliate, finding her hand trapped. She glares at Cat Noir as he sheepishly grins, removing his hand. Stormy Weather sets hail onto the heroes. Cat Noir pulls Ladybug in front of him, raising his baton and twirling it in a circle, blocking the ice. Cat Noir complains that his arms are cramping. Ladybug uses Lucky Charm, and a bath towel appears, Ladybug wraps it around her arm. Looking around, she spots several pipes and a billboard. Ladybug tells Cat Noir to destroy the billboard.

Cat Noir prepares himself by using Cataclysm. He then taunts Stormy Weather, distracting her as he runs his hand along the billboard. It comes crashing down toward Stormy Weather. She blasts a hole in it and Ladybug wraps her yo-yo around Stormy Weather's ankle. Ladybug takes off running under pipes and against a crane before jumping over an HVAC. Opening the towel, Ladybug soars into the air, pulling down Stormy Weather. The speed at which she falls and the angle of the crane cause her to lose her parasol. Cat Noir catches it, tossing it to Ladybug, who breaks it. Ladybug catches the akuma and purifies it, throwing the towel into the air and cleansing the city.

The storm rolls away and the ice is gone. Fist bumping, the two heroes leave.

Back in the park, Adrien and the photographer are waiting for the girl to show up. Tikki points this out, stating that Marinette deserves to be in that photo shoot. Manon spots Marinette and runs into her open arms. She reveals Marinette's secret: Marinette is friends with Ladybug. Marinette agrees as Alya walks over. Handing Manon over to Alya, Marinette runs to the photographer, ready for the shoot. The photographer stops her, seeing Manon. Instead of Marinette, the rest of the shoot continues with Manon and Adrien, the two very happy and very adorable. Marinette sighs as Alya pats her on the back.

2- "Le Bulleur" ("The Bubbler")
Airdate: October 20, 2015

Marinette and Tikki are asleep in Marinette's room when Marinette's cellphone alarm begins ringing. Cheerfully, Marinette remembers that it's Adrien's birthday, practicing saying "Happy Birthday" and even accidentally saying it to her mom as she leaves the house.

At the Agreste mansion, Plagg gives Adrien cheese as a birthday present, but, since it's a "filthy piece of Camembert," Adrien doesn't like it. Happily, Plagg eats it instead. When he eats breakfast, Nathalie gives Adrien his schedule for the day. When Adrien asks if his father agreed to let him have a birthday party, Nathalie responds that Adrien's father decided against it and wishes a saddened Adrien a happy birthday before leaving.

At the beginning of lunch break at school, Nino and Adrien chat on the front steps, Nino blowing bubbles. Nino is surprised that Adrien's father won't throw him a birthday party and decides to speak to Mr. Agreste during the lunch break. Meanwhile, Marinette and Alya hide behind a banister. Alya is encouraging Marinette to hand Adrien a gift that Marinette made, and Marinette is trying to gain the courage for the task. Marinette stands up, looks at Adrien, and immediately returns to hiding, her emotions overwhelming her. Alya pushes Marinette out from behind the banister and she stumbles in front of the boys. The boys immediately cease speaking, staring at her.

Chloé, while speaking to Sabrina, realizes she forgot it is Adrien's birthday. Extremely nervous, Marinette stutters and babbles, trying to say she has a gift for Adrien, but before she can spit it out, Chloé shoves her aside. Chloé walks up to Adrien, lies about getting him a present that failed to be there on time, and leaves, telling Sabrina to find him a present right away. Adrien leaves soon after that for a photo shoot, much to Marinette's and Alya's disappointment. Nino walks away to the Agreste mansion to talk to Gabriel.

Alya and Marinette stand in front of the gates of the Agreste mansion. Marinette tries to pry open the mailbox, but can't. Alya suggests ringing the doorbell, and--while Marinette is protesting--does just that. A camera immediately pops out of the wall focusing on Marinette. Stuttering, Marinette explains that she has a gift for Adrien. The mailbox opens and swiftly closes after the present is placed inside, dismissing Marinette. Marinette does a little dance, hoping Adrien enjoys the gift. Alya then asks if Marinette signed it, and Marinette freezes, realizing that she forgot to.

Nathalie, who is sitting at her desk in Gabriel's atelier, sighs, putting the present on the corner of her desk. When Gabriel calls her to ask who was at the gate, Nathalie explains it was one of Adrien's friends who came with a gift. This answer leads to Gabriel questioning why Nathalie has not yet given Adrien a gift from him. After Gabriel hangs up, Nathalie frets over not getting Adrien a gift before spotting Marinette's gift. She sees it and is relieved, deciding to claim it as a gift from Gabriel. Nino then rings on the doorbell.

Nino and Nathalie wait inside the Agreste mansion's foyer. Gabriel stands at the top of one set of stairs, assuming that Nino is there for Adrien. Nino says otherwise, stating that he is there to speak with Mr. Agreste. He attempts to persuade Gabriel into giving Adrien a birthday party, but his speech is littered with colloquialisms such as "dude," giving Gabriel a poor impression of him. Gabriel tells Nino to drop the subject, but Nino does not. Adrien walks in, hearing the tail end of Nino's speech. Gabriel reiterates that a birthday party will not be happening and banishes Nino from the residence. Nino angrily leaves, and Adrien tries to apologize for his father's strictness, but Nino doesn't believe it to be fair.

Nino sits on a bench in the park next to Marinette's house, blowing bubbles to calm down. He spots a crying boy being dragged away from the park by his father; the boy has chores to do and can no longer play. Nino grumbles over it, frustrated with parents. Hawk Moth, in his lair, senses Nino's frustration and sends an akuma to him. The akuma embeds itself in Nino's bubble wand, and--after Nino agrees to take powers to get revenge on the adults and in turn take Ladybug's and Cat Noir's Miraculouses for Hawk Moth--he turns into the villain, Bubbler.

Bubbler flies across Paris, a trail of purple bubbles flying from his bubble wand. These bubbles catch the adults, turning green when they have captured someone. They then rise in the air, going off into space.

Meanwhile, Marinette is eating lunch with her mother. She daydreams about Adrien's reaction to her present while her mother opens a window. Right before Marinette's eyes, a bubble scoops up her mother. Marinette spots her father in the sky next to her mom, too far for her to reach, among many other adults trapped in bubbles. Tikki pops up next to her, and they both agree they need to fix this immediately. Marinette then transforms into Ladybug.

Ladybug runs outside the bakery to find two children bawling next to an older boy, watching the adults in the sky. The bubbles act as projection screens, displaying Bubbler's face as he conveys his message about parents keeping their kids from having fun and how they can have fun now. Ladybug consoles the children, promising to bring back their parents, and swings away to the rooftops with her yo-yo.

Adrien, eating alone, leaves the dining hall of the Agreste Mansion, intending to go back to school. As he leaves, he finds a surprise in the courtyard; all of his classmates from school have set up a surprise birthday party for him. Adrien immediately realizes that Nino was akumatized, and runs back inside, trying to figure out what to do. Plagg wrongfully convinces Adrien that he should party first--it's not like he'll get another chance to do so.

Ladybug, on the other hand, spots fireworks bursting over the Agreste mansion. Both Adrien and Ladybug realize that the kids at the party are not dancing for fun; they're dancing to keep from being sent into the sky. Chloé asks Bubbler--who is currently acting as the party's DJ--to switch the music over to a slow song since it would be Adrien's first slow dance. Bubbler agrees immediately, as he wants Adrien to enjoy himself. The other children begrudgingly partner up, and Chloé takes Adrien for herself.

Adrien doesn't want to dance with Chloé. He leans away from her, especially when she tries to kiss him. Ladybug, angry, calls out "Lucky Charm!" and a vinyl record appears. Using her lucky vision, Ladybug bounces the record against the side of a building, and the record ricochets to the DJ booth, changing the song. Ladybug then jumps over the side of the building, transforming back into Marinette.

Tikki scolds Marinette for wasting power out of jealousy. Marinette apologizes before hiding Tikki in her purse and entering the courtyard. She takes three cookies, giving them to Tikki to recharge her energy. Before she can change back into Ladybug, Alya arrives. She leads Marinette through the Agreste mansion to Nathalie's office. The present from earlier is there, and Marinette takes the time to sign it. Tikki worries about the time Marinette's taking and for good reason; Bubbler spots Ivan not dancing and decides to place him in a bubble for not complying.

Marinette transforms back into Ladybug and stands on the wall of the Agreste mansion's gate. Ladybug interrupts the party by throwing her yo-yo at the power cord for the speakers and DJ booth. Ladybug and Bubbler begin to fight, causing the children to hide behind the banisters in front of the Agreste mansion. Adrien runs inside, scolding himself for not taking out Bubbler. Plagg ignores him, dancing. Adrien transforms into Cat Noir.

Ladybug continues with her attack while Cat Noir joins in, the two deflecting bubbles left and right while the children watch in awe. Just when everything seems as if it's going in favor of the heroes, Bubbler snaps his fingers, the bubbles swirl around Ladybug and Cat Noir. Trapping them in one massive bubble. The only way they can escape is by giving up their Miraculouses, something that neither one of them will do. Ladybug tries to convince Bubbler that children need their parents, and Cat Noir agrees, although he is slightly hesitant.

Enraged, Bubbler tosses the heroes into the air, sending them to space and angering Hawk Moth. Above the Eiffel Tower, Ladybug suggests that Cat Noir uses his Cataclysm. He summons it and breaks the bubble. Ladybug grabs his arm as he throws his staff into the Eiffel Tower. Ladybug hooks her yo-yo around it, the two swinging to the ground safely. Ladybug tosses Cat Noir's staff to him, and they race back to the Agreste mansion.

Ladybug and Cat Noir return posthaste, the children cheering on Ladybug. Before anything can be done, Bubbler captures all of the children, sending them off to their parents. He then flies off, the battle going to the Eiffel Tower. With only one toe bean left, Cat Noir reminds Ladybug to hurry, and she summons her second Lucky Charm. She receives a large wrench. Bubbler hurls bubbles at Cat Noir, exploding on impact with the Tower.

Using her lucky vision, Ladybug spots an HVAC and takes it apart. She sends a pipe with air spewing out of it to Cat Noir, who uses it to deflect the bubbles. Bubbler raises his bubble wand, about to take another swing, when Ladybug catches it with her yo-yo and wrenches it out of his grasp. Breaking it in two, she captures the akuma and cleanses the city, returning the parents, children, and Nino back to normal.

Defeated, Hawk Moth vows to capture and crush Ladybug as his window closes.

Afterward, at the Agreste mansion, party supplies gone. Nathalie is typing on her computer when Gabriel calls and asks if Adrien liked his gift. Nathalie says that she will check. Hanging up, Nathalie takes the present, removes the note Marinette signed, and hands the gift to Adrien, who is eating dinner. Adrien is extremely surprised by the gift and asks Nathalie to thank his father before he even opens it. Nathalie agrees, walking away.

The next day at school, Chloé is yelling at Sabrina over the tardiness of Adrien's gift (it hasn't been delivered yet and won't be for another week due to all the adults being bubbled the day before). Adrien steps out of a limousine, a new blue scarf around his neck. Marinette is silent, exuberant that Adrien is wearing her gift. Alya mentions the scarf, and Adrien explains it is a gift from his father. He then explains that though his father banished Nino from the house, he would not stop hanging out with him. Marinette decides not to ruin the moment, deciding that she'd rather ensure Adrien's happiness over hers. Alya hugs Marinette, and they all enter the school, ending the episode.

3- "Le Pharaon" ("The Pharaoh")
Airdate: October 21, 2015

Marinette is watching Alya's new blog update. Alya is tracking Ladybug when she passes by, hanging onto a helicopter and dropping her history textbook in the process. Alya picks it up, identifying it as a 10th-grade history textbook thus announcing her belief that Ladybug's secret identity may be that of a student.

Marinette panics since Alya will know something's up if she asks to borrow her history textbook. Tikki tells her that what's done is done and that she can only keep looking ahead and that, if she wants to keep her identity secret, she needs to get the book back from Alya. Tikki then types on Marinette's computer and brings up a web page about an exhibit at the Louvre on the pharaoh Tutankhamen. Tikki urges Marinette to invite Alya to the museum and to have her to bring the book with her. Marinette is skeptical, not understanding what King Tut has to do with Ladybug, but Tikki promises that the trip will be worth it.

Marinette ends up telling Alya that she found something about Ladybug at the King Tut exhibit, so they go to the Louvre. Alya excitedly talks about how close she is to finding out Ladybug's identity, as their school is the only one that uses this particular history textbook and there are only 43 girls in their grade, excluding herself. Marinette tries to exclude herself from the suspects list, but Alya points out that Marinette had to borrow her textbook yesterday. Panicked, Marinette makes the excuse that she's forgotten her own book at home and that Alya knows how she always loses or forgets things. Alya just laughs and says she was teasing. Marinette will be off the suspects list when she brings her book to school.

As the girls reach the King Tut exhibit, a young man shoves past them and drops a bunch of papers and a necklace, which, thankfully, hasn't broken. He introduces himself as Jalil Kubdel, their classmate Alix's older brother, before running off to greet his father. Shrugging at his odd behavior, Alya turns back to Marinette and asks why she brought her here and what this has to do with Ladybug. Marinette tries to stall, and Tikki points her over to a papyrus scroll on the wall in the corner. Unfortunately, the scroll is covered in hieroglyphics without a translation. Marinette tries to find something that's relevant to Ladybug before Alya loses interest.

In his room, Adrien is on the Ladyblog, watching the video of Alya finding the history book. He, too, wonders if Ladybug goes to his school. Plagg doesn't understand why humans crush on each other instead of cheese. Adrien replies that girls look better than cheese, much to Plagg's annoyance.

Meanwhile, Jalil and Mr. Kubdel join Marinette and Alya in front of the scroll as Jalil explains the images on the scroll. He identifies a man holding a scepter as Pharaoh Tutankhamun I and the woman next to him as Princess Nefertiti with one hundred mummies surrounding them. The princess died before the pharaoh did and became the sun god's wife in the afterlife. Mr. Kubdel remarks that he already knows all this since he organized this exhibit. Jalil then claims to have deciphered the hieroglyphs, theorizing that the images on the scroll depict a resurrection ceremony in which the pharaoh tried to bring his princess back from the afterlife and that the scroll contains a spell to bring people back from the dead.

Marinette remarks that, like Alya, Jalil is prone to jumping to conclusions. Likewise, Mr. Kubdel is unconvinced and cautions Jalil that anything written in the scroll is a legend and cannot be interpreted so literally. Jalil insists that he is right and suggests proving his theory by using the pharaoh's scepter--on display nearby--and reading a spell from the scroll. Having lost his patience, Mr. Kubdel yells at Jalil for treating the scepter like a toy instead of a priceless historical artifact. He leaves, telling Jalil to stop with his wild theories and start focusing on the real world. In his lair, Hawk Moth senses Jalil's dejection and sends an akuma his way.

While Marinette stalls, Alya grows bored and takes the book out of her bag. Before she can open it, Marinette jumps in and puts the book away, insisting that she's found something about Ladybug. Outside the museum, the akuma finds Jalil and lands on the pendant in the necklace around his neck, transforming him into the Pharaoh and giving him the ability to harness the powers of the Ancient Egyptian gods.

Transforming into Thoth, the Pharaoh creates bubbles and traps several museum visitors and security guards inside them, slowing down their perceptions of time. Alya and Marinette duck behind some displays, the history textbook falling out of Alya's hands in the process. Alya begins recording everything with her cellphone while Marinette sneaks off and transforms into Ladybug. Back home, Adrien is watching Alya's feed and transforms into Cat Noir when he sees the Pharaoh stealing the scroll and scepter.

Ladybug dives in the Egyptian exhibit room as the museum's security doors come down, trapping her, the Pharaoh, and Alya. She tries to fight the Pharaoh, but he grabs her yo-yo and swings her into a wall. He then transforms into Sekhmet and uses his enhanced strength to pull apart the bars of the security door. Cat Noir arrives, but the Pharaoh easily defeats him by throwing him into a sarcophagus. He then notices Alya hiding behind a display and kidnaps her, taking the scroll and scepter and pulling the bars back in place behind him.

Ladybug and Cat Noir escape the room by using Cataclysm on the bars and Cat Noir goes to recharge his Miraculous. Ladybug uses her yo-yo to access the Ladyblog, where Alya has been livestreaming her abduction. Outside the museum, the Pharaoh uses Anubis' powers and transforms all the bystanders into mummies. At Alya's questioning, he explains that he needs one hundred mummies and a sacrifice (a soul pure of heart) to resurrect his princess. He reveals that he plans to exchange the princess's soul for Alya's (because she looks like the person being sacrificed in the pictures on the papyrus scroll) to appease the sun god.

Hearing this, Ladybug runs to rescue Alya but accidentally gets trapped in one of the time-warping bubbles. Cat Noir returns and pops the bubble, and they run to the roof to witness the resurrection ceremony in the courtyard. Alya, still being held hostage, notices a figure in a spotted dress on the scroll who seems to be swinging a yo-yo. When she questions the Pharaoh, he explains that the goddess on the scroll is Ladybug, who had thwarted the original Pharaoh's resurrection ceremony 5,000 years ago.

The Pharaoh recites the spell and a beam of energy shoots up from the Louvre Pyramid, opening a portal in the sky. The mummies grab Alya and begin carrying her toward the pyramid, but Cat Noir distracts them while Ladybug swings in on her yo-yo and carries Alya to safety on a nearby rooftop. With Alya's help, Ladybug realizes that the akuma must be in the necklace. However, the Pharaoh transforms into Horus and flies up and captures Alya again, dropping her onto the beam on top of the pyramid to be transported into the portal.

The mummies attack Cat Noir, but he and Ladybug trap them on a bus. Ladybug then ties her yo-yo around the Pharaoh and manages to grab the necklace from around his neck when he's flying. It falls to the ground, but he retrieves it before she or Cat Noir can. Just as Alya is about to disappear into the portal, Ladybug uses Lucky Charm, and a Ladybug costume falls out. Using her lucky vision, she spots the pair of earrings that come with the costume. She then bargains with the Pharaoh, offering herself as a sacrifice in Alya's place, with the reasoning that Pharaoh can finally have his revenge on Ladybug for stopping him the first time 5,000 years ago. The Pharaoh agrees and releases Alya, placing Ladybug on the beam to the portal.

The Pharaoh holds out his hand for Ladybug to give him her Miraculous, but she grabs his necklace and throws the toy earrings from the Ladybug costume to the ground, telling him to go fetch. When he is distracted by the decoy, Ladybug destroys the necklace and catches the akuma. After that, she purifies the akuma and with the help of her Lucky Charm, Ladybug then returns everything back to normal. After that, the Pharaoh transforms back into Jalil.

Ladybug returns Alya's phone to her and Alya asks her how old she is. To throw Alya off Marinette's scent, Ladybug replies that she's definitely too old to be a high school student. Cat Noir asks Alya if she wants to know how old he is. She replies that she will know in a couple of minutes, referring to him detransforming. Cat Noir looks at his ring and runs off. Alya giggles.

When Alya wanders back into the museum to the King Tut exhibit, Marinette makes the excuse that she was turned into a mummy. Alya is happy to have learned that Ladybug is 5,000 years old, but she's confused because the history book in her bag has disappeared. As Alya searches for the book, Marinette keeps walking and giggles to herself. Later that night, Tikki explains that she is actually much older than 5,000 years. There has always been a Ladybug superhero, and Tikki is the kwami who has watched over every Ladybug since the beginning. Marinette wonders if the other Ladybugs were as klutzy as herself. Tikki replies that every Ladybug is different, but Marinette is surprising, unpredictable, endearing, talented, a quick learner, and the cutest Ladybug. The episode ends with Tikki telling Marinette to get some sleep because she has a history test tomorrow. Marinette quips that at least her test is about ancient Egypt.

4- "Lady Wifi"
Airdate: 22 October 2015

Alya cuts Ladybug's face out of a photograph during class. She holds the picture up to her classmates' faces to look for the perfect fit, trying to find out who Ladybug is. She stops on Chloé, who points at Miss Bustier, who is standing in front of Alya's desk. Once she realizes the entire class is watching her, she puts the picture away. Miss Bustier asks if Marinette is still in the bathroom since she has not returned to class. Alya shrugs. When class ends, Miss Bustier gives Alya Marinette's homework to pass on to her. After school, Alya calls Marinette but is forwarded straight to voicemail. Alya then notices Chloé pulling several Ladybug-themed items from her locker (including a costume and yo-yo similar to Ladybug's) and putting them in her bag. Believing Chloé to be Ladybug's secret identity, Alya calls Marinette, only to be directed to voicemail again, she sees Nino and drags him with her to explain what she found out. Nino sympathizes with Alya's inability to contact Marinette, as Adrien also disappears for hours on end when he tries to call him, although Nino blames it on Mr. Agreste's strictness. Alya checks her phone and finds a news report that Ladybug has once again saved Paris. The news report focuses mainly on Ladybug, with Cat Noir in the background behind reporter Nadja Chamack.

Alya recognizes the yo-yo in Ladybug's hand as the yo-yo Chloé took out of her locker and tells Nino that she's figured out Ladybug's secret identity and whispers it in Nino's ear: Chloé is Ladybug. Nino laughs at her revelation, saying Chloé is too narcissistic to be a hero.

Marinette comes home and finds that Alya has dropped off her book bag and tablet with Sabine at the bakery. Alya also left a note, telling Marinette to call her because she figured out who Ladybug is. Marinette is a little panicked, but when she tries to call Alya back, she finds that she doesn't have any signal. She wanders onto the roof to find a workman, who tells her that they're updating the service. Marinette spends the rest of the day doing her homework.

When she wakes up at her desk the next morning, Marinette realizes that she's already an hour late to school. Meanwhile, Nino is still skeptical that Chloé is Ladybug, but Alya has him distract Chloé while she tries to take a picture of the evidence in Chloé's locker. However, Sabrina and Kim catch Alya snooping, and she and Chloé wind up in Mr. Damocles' office. Mr. Damocles gives Alya detention after school, but by citing her right to privacy and the school's theft policy, Chloé uses her father's name to blackmail Mr. Damocles into suspending Alya for a week.

Alya storms out of the school just as Marinette runs in, Alya swears to expose Chloé and tarnish her reputation as Ladybug. In his lair, Hawk Moth senses Alya crying and her anger, sending an akuma her way. The akuma lands on her cellphone and transforms her into Lady Wifi.

Marinette sneaks into Miss Bustier's class but disrupts it by shouting, "What?!" twice when she learns that Alya was suspended for trespassing in "Ladybug's" locker. Miss Bustier sends Marinette to the principal's office, where she finds Mr. Damocles frozen in his seat with a pink pause sign on his chest. Just then, Lady Wifi uses the school projector system to play a recording of herself. She introduces herself as the deliverer of truth and promises to show all of Paris who Ladybug really is. Recognizing Alya from the charm on her phone, Marinette transforms into Ladybug to save her best friend.

Miss Bustier dismisses her class for their safety. Adrien runs to the bathroom to transform into Cat Noir, reasoning that Lady Wifi will no doubt pay Chloé a visit if she really is Ladybug. Later that evening, he waits on a rooftop across the street from Le Grand Paris and watches Chloé through her window. He finds her dressed as Ladybug while practicing throwing her yo-yo and panics, thinking that he might have fallen for Chloé. However, the real Ladybug shows up beside him and reassures him by explaining that Chloé is just a huge fan.

Chloé's cellphone rings. When she answers, Lady Wifi uses the phone to teleport into the room. She freezes Chloé with a pink pause icon and opens a video recording icon to broadcast Chloé's unmasking to the public. Cat Noir and the real Ladybug arrive on the scene and Lady Wifi realizes her mistake. When she tries to freeze them, they escape into the stairwell and lure her toward the basement of the building where there's no signal.

Lady Wifi catches onto their plan and leaves to set a trap. Ladybug and Cat Noir then run back up all the stairs, only to find that the door on every floor has a lock icon on it. Meanwhile, Cat Noir wants him and Ladybug to get to know each other outside the costume, but she brushes him off because they have more important things to worry about. They finally reach an unlocked floor and kick the door open, finding themselves in the hotel's dining area. All the tables have a phone on them. They soon learn that Lady Wifi can use them to teleport around the room. Ladybug starts smashing the phones with her yo-yo and Lady Wifi flees into the kitchen, where she locks the door, trapping Ladybug in the kitchen with her. Cat Noir uses the service elevator in the dining area to get into the kitchen.

Lady Wifi manages to corner Ladybug against the wall and locks her hands down. She then re-opens the video recording icon and proceeds to try and take off Ladybug's mask. It appears to be glued on and won't come off. Just then, Cat Noir arrives in the food elevator to rescue Ladybug, but Lady Wifi traps him in the freezer and locks the door. The impact knocks the ring off Cat's finger, and he transforms back into Adrien and is unable to find the ring. Plagg refuses to help Adrien, stating that it's too cold.

Hawk Moth advises Lady Wifi to force Ladybug into using Lucky Charm. When her time runs out, the video recording will broadcast her detransforming, and Lady Wifi can take her Miraculous. Lady Wifi unlocks Ladybug's hands, but leaves the recording on, disappearing and leaving her in the kitchen to rescue Cat Noir from the locked freezer.

Chloé manages to escape the building and join her father and the police waiting outside. When her phone rings, she answers, and Lady Wifi teleports from the phone onto the hotel's roof, forcing Paris to watch as Ladybug tries to save Cat Noir. Trying to kick the door down doesn't work, so she uses Lucky Charm, and a frozen meal appears. Using her lucky vision, she spots the non-microwaveable icon on the box, the lock icon on the freezer door, and a nearby microwave oven. She puts the non-microwaveable dinner in the microwave and blows it up to diffuse the signal. The door unlocks just as Adrien, nearly frozen to death, finds his ring and transforms back into Cat Noir.

Because she is running out of time, the heroes have to work quickly to stop Lady Wifi. The kitchen door is still locked, but Ladybug suggests blowing up the signal receiver on the roof. Cat Noir covers the camera icon with a pot and uses the food elevator to get out while Ladybug waits in the kitchen. Growing suspicious, Lady Wifi returns and chases Cat Noir onto the roof. He distracts her by throwing his staff at her and then uses Cataclysm to destroy the signal receiver. Lady Wifi loses her powers, the recording and lock icons in the kitchen downstairs dissolving as Ladybug's earrings beep down to two spots. Ladybug escapes the kitchen and shows up on the roof soon after. She uses her yo-yo to yank the phone out of Lady Wifi's hand, smashing in on the ground. She captures the akuma and returns everything back to normal with Miraculous Ladybug.

Lady Wifi turns back into Alya, who is thrilled to see Ladybug and Cat Noir. However, Ladybug is about to detransform, so they escape from the roof before Alya can get an interview. They run into the hotel lobby and Ladybug ducks inside a closet. Cat Noir tries to stop her, promising not to tell anyone who she is, but she says that "nobody must know who we really are, not even us." The closet door swings between them just as her transformation wears off and Cat Noir is tempted to open the door. Conflicted, he ultimately decides not to betray her trust and leaves, closing the door for her.

Adrien runs outside of the hotel and opens up his jacket. Plagg flies out and questions Adrien. He says that "the love of his life" was right there. He asks why he shut the door for her, and what he was thinking. Adrien replies saying that he can't think when he's with Ladybug.

The next day, Marinette and Tikki are talking about secret identities. Both deem it safer that her being Ladybug should remain a secret. Not long after, Alya appears on Marinette's balcony. Alya has a new phone and has noticed that when she draws a costume over a picture of Adrien, he kind of looks like Cat Noir. Marinette is offended that Alya would compare Adrien to someone like Cat Noir. Marinette jokes that Alya should send the photos of Adrien to her. She grabs Alya's phone, laughing as Alya chases her around.

5- "Chronogirl" ("Timebreaker")
Airdate: October 23, 2015

Marinette runs down her house's stairs to her mother. Sabine adjusts a flower in her hair, preparing for her 20th wedding anniversary dinner later that evening. Tom calls Marinette downstairs into the bakery, where Marinette reminds her father to take off his apron before he leaves. Marinette is left in charge of the bakery for the night. Her only expectation is to give an Eiffel Tower cake to Nadja Chamack when she arrives in 30 minutes.

At the restaurant, Tom spots one of Marinette's classmates, Alix Kubdel, with her father, Mr. Kubdel. The Kubdels are celebrating Alix's 15th birthday. As a gift, Mr. Kubdel gives Alix a watch which has been passed down in their family for generations. It looks like a normal pocket watch, but in reality, it is a holographic watch, the only one of its kind. When Alix insists that she wants the watch over a new pair of skates, her father complies and gives her the watch. Alix's phone rings; it's her friends. She promised she'd meet up with them, but only after she had lunch with her father. Mr. Kubdel lets Alix leave the restaurant early. Meanwhile, Marinette is in her room, working on homework, while Tikki floats above her, giving encouragement. Marinette reveals that Tikki is actually making Marinette lose focus when her phone rings. It's Alya, reminding Marinette about Alix's and Kim's race. Marinette needs to be there, especially since she made a banner for the race. Tikki reminds Marinette about Nadja Chamack, which makes Marinette scream. With only five minutes to get to the Trocadéro, Marinette sets a timer for when Nadja will arrive and transforms into Ladybug and swings her way to the starting line.

Marinette detransforms, running with the banner to her friends. Opening it, she receives compliments from everyone on how well it is made. Kim points out that they made the wrong choice to cheer for Alix since she's not even there yet. Alix rolls up on a pair of in-line skates, smirking. Max separates the two apart, explaining the rules. Both of them, Alix on skates, Kim on foot, will go 500 feet around the Trocadéro square twice. The first one back to the starting line is the winner. If Kim wins, then he gets Alix's skates. If Alix wins, then Kim isn't allowed to make any more dares for the rest of the school year.

The two get ready, standing at the start line. Just as Max is about to yell, "Start," Alix makes him stop, causing Kim to fall forward on his face. Alix hands her watch to Alya, who is filming the event. Before the race begins, Alya hands it to Marinette so that she can hold her phone with both hands. Marinette, who is holding the banner with one hand, tries to give it back to Alya. However, because Nino is holding the other side of the banner and is cheering very roughly, Marinette loses hold of the watch. Adrien catches it before it falls to the ground. Chloé then takes the watch out of Adrien's hand. Adrien tries to get it back, claiming it belongs to Alix, but Chloé doesn't care. Marinette tries to make Chloé give it back. Instead, Chloé opens the watch, dropping it in surprise when it lights up. The watch rolls on the track and is destroyed underneath Alix's rollerblades as Alix finishes in first place.

Alix cheers for only a moment before she notices her watch, turning her anger onto Alya. Alya tries to explain how the watch changed hands, but Alix doesn't want to listen. Alya, Marinette, and Adrien try to apologize (Chloé blames everyone else), but Alix says they're all the same. She skates off, crying. Marinette chases after her, trying to fix things.

Hawk Moth, in his lair, senses Alix's anger and sends an akuma to her.

Meanwhile, Nadja Chamack is at the bakery, impatiently waiting outside. Finding no one there, Nadja calls Tom, who is about to eat. He tells her Marinette is supposed to be home and he hangs up, calling Marinette. Marinette, meanwhile, is trying to talk to Alix, who is still very upset. She skates away angrily as Marinette receives a call from her dad. While she's distracted, an akuma flies to Alix's skates, possessing her and turning her into the skating, time-traveling supervillain, Timebreaker.

Tom tells Marinette that Nadja is in front of the bakery, waiting for her order. Marinette hangs up, on her way to retrieve the order until she spots Timebreaker skating past her.

Timebreaker races back toward the students, who scatter on Adrien's command. She tags Kim, making him freeze mid-run before he fades away. The bar on her right rollerblade fills up by two. Marinette confronts Timebreaker, confused about how she managed to make Kim fade, trying to convince her to stop. Timebreaker explains that she stole Kim's existence and she tries to steal Marinette's, skating towards her, arm outstretched.

Marinette dives out of the way, throwing the banner in Timebreaker's face when Timebreaker comes after her again. Timebreaker trips up the stairs, losing sight of Marinette. Marinette, hidden behind the wall of the stairs, transforms into the superhero Ladybug. Throwing her yo-yo, Ladybug knocks Timebreaker off her feet. Timebreaker spots Rose and reaches out her hand, feigning injury. Rose, being the sweet girl she is, takes Timebreaker's hand, freezing in place and giving Timebreaker an extra minute.

Seeing Ladybug struggle, Adrien, hidden behind a tree, transforms into Cat Noir.

Mylène is running away from Timebreaker, but she slips and falls, allowing Timebreaker to steal her energy, making her total time 1 minute and 30 seconds. Ladybug and Cat Noir appear to stop her. She skates towards Cat Noir, but he jumps over her. Skidding to a stop, Timebreaker sees Alya, recording for the Ladyblog on her cellphone, and skates towards her. Alya runs but is caught. Chloé and Sabrina were already caught.

Ladybug explains Timebreaker's power as Timebreaker finds Ivan, who tries to hide behind a tree. Ladybug and Cat Noir need to catch the akuma before everyone disappears. Throwing her yo-yo, Ladybug catches Timebreaker's arm, saving Ivan. Timebreaker laughs, pulling the arm with the yo-yo and successfully dragging Ladybug forward. Hawk Moth tells Timebreaker that it's time to get Ladybug's Miraculous.

Reaching out her arm, Timebreaker moves to take the Miraculous, but Cat Noir protects her, hugging her as he is frozen. Timebreaker gains 6 minutes to go into the past. Hawk Moth tells her to steal Cat Noir's Miraculous before he disappears. Ladybug tells her to see if she can try; she is extremely angry. Ladybug and Timebreaker fight, Ladybug knocking Timebreaker to the floor. Hawk Moth is angered, but Timebreaker has a solution: she skates away. Ladybug throws her yo-yo to stop her, but she finds herself being dragged by Timebreaker. Ladybug and Timebreaker travel to the past, to the moment where Alix and Kim finished their first lap. Timebreaker spots the watch in Chloé's hands and jumps down to the students. Ladybug tells Chloé to drop the watch, but this causes it to break again (this time by falling and not being run over). Enter Hawk Moth, amused over the fact that there are two akumas out. Blaming Ladybug, Alix is akumatized once more, resulting in two Timebreakers. Marinette sees Ladybug from a moment later, surprised. While Ladybug from the future and Tikki try to explain what happened, the two Timebreakers meet and Cat Noir appears. Marinette runs off to the bakery to give Nadja her cake. Ladybug tells Cat Noir that she will explain everything later. The two heroes approach the two Timebreakers. Hawk Moth orders them to get the Miraculouses. Ladybug and Cat Noir fight the two Timebreakers. The Timebreakers need more speed to go back farther in time and they start stealing energy from people.

Meanwhile, Nadja, in front of the bakery, sees Marinette, who gives Nadja her cake. When the bakery is empty, Marinette transforms into Ladybug and runs back to the future Ladybug. Meanwhile, future Ladybug and Cat Noir chase the two Timebreakers. The Timebreakers turn to go after them, but present Ladybug stops them. Cat Noir clasps his hands and grins, amazed to see two Ladybugs. Finding themselves outnumbered, the Timebreakers decide to go back to the time when the heroes weren't around. The two Ladybugs use Lucky Charm, a traffic cone and a bicycle lock appearing.

Cat Noir buys them some time by using his Cataclysm to break a low-relief. The two Timebreakers can't get past it, so they turn around and see one Ladybug. As they are about to steal her energy, Ladybug ties their skates with the bicycle lock. The other Ladybug uses the traffic cone and a sign to make a ramp. The two Timebreakers go up the ramp, tossing them into the air. The Ladybugs catch them with their yo-yos by the ankles, and the Timebreakers fall to the ground, their akumatized skated removed. The Ladybugs break their skates, releasing the akumas and purifying them. Both use Miraculous Ladybug and return the world and the timeline to normal. The people return, the watch is fixed, the two Ladybugs merge,[3] and the Timebreakers turn back into a single Alix. Ladybug hands the watch back to her, Alix saying she should have been more responsible with it, taking Ladybug's words of responsibility to heart. Cat Noir approaches Ladybug, but she swings away. Cat Noir holds out hope that Ladybug will fall for him. Hawk Moth swears the heroes will eventually lose to him and he will become invincible.

Back at the bakery, Marinette's parents return from their dinner. She asks them how their wedding anniversary went. Her dad says it was great, but they almost had to leave early. Marinette apologizes for making Nadja wait. Her mom tells her to watch the shop properly, instead of "listening to music in her room" next time. Marinette and her parents share a big hug, ending the episode.

6- "M. Pigeon" ("Mr. Pigeon")
Airdate; October 23, 2015

Mr. Damocles is in Miss Bustier's classroom, telling the students about a design competition being hosted at the school. The objective of the competition is to design and create a derby hat, which will be judged by fashion designer Gabriel Agreste. The winner of the competition will have their design worn by Adrien at his next photo shoot.

Marinette flips through her design diary, searching for a derby hat, only to discover that she has never made one. Alya watches as Marinette paces the courtyard, slowly becoming more tense. She states that she has made silky ram hats, bell hats, berets, and sombreros, but never a derby hat. While worrying, Marinette develops a worst-case scenario of her tripping over the hat, knocking over Mr. Agreste, earning hate from Adrien, and losing her dream of becoming the world's best fashion designer. Marinette dramatically cries into Alya's lap before Alya cheers her up, asking to look through Marinette's sketchbook.

Setting the sketchbook down on the bench, Alya turns away from Marinette as Marinette brings her knees to her chest. Adrien, seeing the open book, glances at the pages and compliments Alya for her sketches. Alya corrects him, telling him that it was actually Marinette, who is hiding behind the bench. Adrien congratulates her on her designs, telling her that he thinks she has a good chance of winning the contest. This compliment gives Marinette the confidence she needs to make her design, and she runs off.

At the same time, Chloé and Sabrina overhear what Adrien says to Marinette. This distresses Chloé, so she resolves to have Sabrina steal designs from Marinette's sketchbook.

Hawk Moth, in his lair, wonders who is up to the task of stealing Ladybug's and Cat Noir's Miraculouses, claiming that they must be his.

Marinette sits outside at the Trocadéro with her sketchbook open on her lap. She sketches various versions of derby hats before ripping them out and crumpling them beside her. As she becomes more dejected, a man appears, moving his arms like wings and cooing to the pigeons. Xavier Ramier sits on a bench and calls the pigeons to him with a whistle. He then brings out a bag of bird food, tossing it to the pigeons.

Roger Raincomprix stalks over and yells at Xavier for feeding the pigeons, stating that, if he continues to feed them, they will crowd the park and leave their droppings everywhere. Confiscating the bird food, Roger kicks Xavier out of the park. Marinette feels sorry for him. Tikki gives her the idea to make the hat based on pigeon feathers. Inspired, Marinette hurriedly sketches the idea.

Meanwhile, Xavier sits on a bench overlooking the Seine, dejected. Hawk Moth senses Xavier's sorrow and sends an akuma to him, which enters his pigeon whistle. Hawk Moth tells Xavier that the police and park keepers should not be allowed to stop him from taking care of his pigeons and offers him the chance to take revenge on them. Xavier grins, turning into the villain Mr. Pigeon. He takes off, flapping his arms and cooing.

At the same time, Marinette finishes her sketch. When she holds up her book to admire it in the light, Sabrina takes a picture of the sketch with her phone, handing it to Chloé. Sabrina asks Chloé when she'll design the hat, but Chloé says that her father will pay someone to make it.

Marinette returns to her house, making the hat in her room. Tikki helps her, giving Marinette an apple to replenish her energy. At 1:21 pm, Marinette freaks out, realizing she forgot to grab a feather for the hat. She and Tikki run back to the Eiffel Tower, disturbing the pigeons until Marinette grabs a feather. Elated that she has one, she skips off, bumping into Agent Roger before returning home. Roger, however, goes on his merry way after Marinette apologizes and departs. A dark cloud of birds hovers over him, taking him away.

While Marinette is on the bus, she asks the driver why they can't go faster. The driver says that they have a situation and tells the people to get off the bus. Marinette sees that pigeons are causing the traffic jam, along with other problems all over Paris.

Nadja Chamack, on a nearby screen, reports on the pigeons and is then told that Mr. Pigeon will make an announcement: Paris belongs to the pigeons. Marinette runs to the subway, wasting no time before transforming into Ladybug. Ladybug runs along Paris' rooftops until she sees hordes of pigeons flying in the sky, all in the shape of airplanes. Just then, Cat Noir appears, lounging on a rooftop. He sneezes, rolling down to Ladybug. This is due to his allergy to feathers. Cat Noir tells Ladybug that the park keepers in all of Paris are disappearing. Ladybug states that they must find Mr. Pigeon. Cat Noir asks where, and while Ladybug doesn't know where they can find him, she knows where he can find them.

They go to the park and have Cat Noir pose as a park keeper, keeping an eye out for Mr. Pigeon. He starts to dance. Ladybug tells him to act natural, or Mr. Pigeon will never appear. Cat Noir responds, saying that he is acting naturally, still dancing. A pigeon sees him and flies off to report to Mr. Pigeon. Mr. Pigeon praises the pigeon for telling him. A flock of pigeons takes Mr. Pigeon away.

Ladybug wonders where Mr. Pigeon is. Suddenly, Cat Noir sneezes, and a flock of pigeons take him away. Ladybug follows the cloud to the ceiling of the hotel Le Grand Paris. Cat Noir sneezes again, now free, and sees that the pigeons are watching him. Suddenly, Mr. Pigeon appears, standing on a flock of pigeons. He blows his bird whistle, and the pigeons surround Ladybug and Cat Noir, trapping them in a massive bird cage.

Mr. Pigeon, under Hawk Moth's command, tells Ladybug and Cat Noir to give up their Miraculouses, or the pigeons will attack them with poop. Cat Noir uses his Cataclysm, making the metal bars of the cage rusty. The cage falls apart and they are freed. As soon as they come close to Mr. Pigeon, he escapes by walking off the side of the hotel, shouting, "Merry Christmas." He sends the remaining pigeons to attack the two heroes.

Ladybug and Cat Noir run inside, slamming the door shut on the pigeons. They head downstairs, but Cat Noir's ring beeps; he has 4 minutes left before his transformation deactivates. The two head to the ground floor finding André Bourgeois. He tells them that if the pigeons keep invading Paris, all the tourists will leave and he will lose money. He asks them to stop the pigeons, which Ladybug and Cat Noir agree to do.

During this, Cat Noir is bouncing up and down in a hurry. He tells André that he has an urgent need. André picks up on this and allows Cat Noir to use the Royal Suite. He also has Camembert delivered to Cat Noir's room. Cat Noir turns back into Adrien, and an exhausted Plagg falls on the bed. Adrien gives Plagg the Camembert, which is unpasteurized and had matured for two years.

Ladybug, at a higher vantage point, glances out a window and sees that the pigeons are flying in the same direction. Cat Noir appears in an elevator and the two follow the pigeons. They reach the Grand Palais and find the park keepers caged inside. They climb up to the roof to enter the Palais from a window. However, Cat Noir sneezes, causing Mr. Pigeon to notice them and beginning the battle. He attacks with his pigeons, sending Ladybug and Cat Noir into the park keepers' cage's bars. Ladybug uses her Lucky Charm, and a coin appears. Using her lucky vision, Ladybug spots a support beam and a vending machine. Ladybug runs toward Mr. Pigeon, sliding underneath him while her yo-yo wraps around his ankle. She then jumps up to the support beam, swinging over it once, wrapping up her yo-yo's string. Ladybug runs ahead, putting the coin into the vending machine and buying a small bag of popcorn. She throws the bag in the air and Cat Noir uses his staff to break it. Most of the popcorn lands on Mr. Pigeon. The pigeons surround Mr. Pigeon and eat the popcorn off of him. As he is distracted, Ladybug yanks on her yo-yo, pulling Mr. Pigeon into the air. The bird call slips from his neck, landing on the ground. Cat Noir goes to grab it, but he sneezes, throwing it away accidentally. Ladybug, Cat Noir, and Mr. Pigeon go after it. They grab it simultaneously, Mr. Pigeon's hand directly on top of it, then Cat Noir's, then Ladybug's. Ladybug grabs Cat Noir's hand and smashes it down on Mr. Pigeon's hand, breaking the bird call. The akuma flies out from it. Ladybug catches it, purifies it, and uses Miraculous Ladybug to return everything back to normal. Mr. Pigeon turns back into Mr. Ramier. Hawk Moth swears revenge on Ladybug and pigeons.

Marinette, at her house, finishes creating her derby hat. At the school, the design competition is about to begin. Nathalie introduces herself to Mr. Damocles, and he wonders where Gabriel Agreste is. Nathalie shows that he is going to be judging via her tablet. Gabriel orders Adrien to take Nathalie around the school. Chloé and Sabrina notice him, turning their faces aside with posh expressions.

Mr. Agreste begins to judge the Derby hats when Marinette arrives. Alya wonders where she has been, but Marinette doesn't answer. Marinette sets her hat on the podium, and Alya points out that it is identical to Chloé's. Mr. Agreste sees Marinette's hat and sees it is identical to Chloé's hat. Chloé fakes innocence and pretends Marinette stole her design. However, Marinette proves that her hat is original by showing her signature on the hat. Chloé runs away crying and Mr. Agreste declares Marinette the winner of the competition. Adrien congratulates her, moving to put on the hat. When it nears his nose, he freezes and sneezes. As Adrien walks away, Marinette jumps for joy, ending the episode.

7- "Le Dessinateur" ("The Evillustrator")
Airdate: October 26, 2015

Marinette is attacked by both Stormy Weather and Lady Wifi at Collège Françoise Dupont. Lady Wifi pauses her and Stormy Weather freezes her in an ice block. The two supervillains clasp hands, pleased with their success. Suddenly, a new superhero drops into the scene and uses his tablet to erase Stormy Weather's umbrella. As Lady Wifi moves to pause him, he traps them both in a box. He frees Marinette, erasing the ice and the pause button. Marinette runs to the superhero, calling him "Super Nathan." She confesses her love to him and he does the same in return.

This, as it turns out, is Nathaniel's imagination running wild. He is doodling a comic in Ms. Mendeleiev's class and Ms. Mendeleiev notices. She stops him from drawing and sends him to the principal's office, disgusted with his endeavors. Nathaniel trips over Mylène's backpack, spilling his bag and everything in it, including his comic book. Chloé picks up the book and makes fun of both him and Marinette to Sabrina, knowing the rest of the class will overhear. Ms. Mendeleiev picks up Nathaniel off the floor and tells him to go to Mr. Damocles' office. Nathaniel takes his book back from Chloé, but Chloé rips out the last page.

Hawk Moth, sensing Nathaniel's emotions, sends an akuma to Nathaniel and it lands in his stylus. Hawk Moth offers him power so long as he retrieves a couple of items he is missing. Nathaniel accepts, becoming the Evillustrator.

Back in Ms. Mendeleiev's classroom, Ms. Mendeleiev announces the groups for the particle physics research presentations. Nino, Adrien, and Alya are partnered together, as are Chloé, Sabrina, and Marinette. Chloé complains, wanting to work alone with Sabrina, but Ms. Mendeleiev tells her to deal with it. Alya isn't willing to switch places with Marinette, but she is willing to be Marinette's wingwoman in regards to Adrien. The class is dismissed and the students wander the school, gathering their things and moving to their next classes.

Chloé and Sabrina are at Chloé's locker. Chloé complains about the project and decides she isn't going to help. Sabrina readily agrees with Chloé, knowing that she and Marinette can finish the project together. Marinette, however, is concerned. Chloé tells her to mind her own business, but since Marinette and Chloé are part of the same group, it is her business. Sabrina explains that it's fine; they can do the research and the writing together while Chloé presents the project, meaning everyone gets a fair share. Marinette quickly points out that the way Chloé and Sabrina work together isn't fair. Apparently, Chloé and Sabrina have had Sabrina do all of their homework ever since Sabrina started doing Chloé's homework in grade school. Marinette lets Sabrina know that what she and Chloé have isn't friendship; Chloé is taking advantage of Sabrina and best friends don't take advantage of each other. Chloé argues that she is Sabrina's only friend, therefore, Sabrina has to listen to her or she'll be friendless. Marinette says she'd rather have no friends than be Chloé's friend. Chloé ends the argument and leaves, deciding she has better things to do, such as her hair.

Marinette leaves as well. Before she can go home Sabrina stops her and thanks her for standing up to Chloé. Marinette lets her know that it wasn't a big deal, but Sabrina takes it a bit too far and declares Marinette to be her new best friend. They go to the library to work on the project.

In the library, Chloé and Sabrina argue about Sabrina not doing Chloé's assignment. Chloé tries to bribe Sabrina back to her side with a Gabriel beret. Marinette doesn't believe what she's seeing; Sabrina is easily swayed by the beret. Before Sabrina can decide if she wants the beret and do Chloé's homework, several berets fall on Chloé's head. When they stop falling, a giant hairdryer appears and chases Chloé around the library. Adrien sees this and transforms into Cat Noir. Marinette runs, hides, and transforms into Ladybug.

Ladybug lassos the hairdryer and jumps on it, trying to control it while Cat Noir watches her and puns about the situation. When she manages to knock the hairdryer down, Cat Noir smashes it with his staff, destroying it. They notice the Evillustrator on the second level of the library and chase after him, but he draws a barrier and runs away from Ladybug and Cat Noir.

Ladybug and Cat Noir go to Chloé's room, trying to find out why the Evillustrator is targeting Chloé specifically. Chloé sits on one of her couches and defaces Nathaniel's drawing of himself and Marinette. Chloé denies doing anything wrong, stating, "Everyone adores me." Ladybug sarcastically calls her adorable, although Chloé doesn't hear the sarcasm and takes it as a compliment. She gets excited and proceeds to follow Ladybug around and take several pictures of the two of them. Cat Noir just watches. When Ladybug finds the defaced photograph, she leaves in a huff, telling Cat Noir to watch Chloé without her.

Back in her room, Ladybug detransforms into Marinette and throws her purse onto her chaise, accidentally throwing Tikki in the process. Marinette apologizes and rants to Tikki about how Chloé makes her so angry. Tikki tells her to calm down. This leads Marinette to remembering her project with Sabrina. She checks her phone to find that all of the recent calls were from Sabrina. Before she can do anything about it, the Evillustrator erases one of the windows in Marinette's room and enters.

Much to Marinette's surprise, the Evillustrator isn't there to harm Marinette. Rather, he just wants to see her. He attacked Chloé because she is cruel and selfish. He isn't planning on hurting Marinette. Instead, he invites her to his birthday party on La Seine. Marinette tries turning him down, but when the Evillustrator gives Marinette an invitation and Marinette recognizes the exclamation mark on it as Nathaniel's signature watermark, she says yes. Elated, the Evillustrator leaves to prepare for the party.

Marinette transforms back into Ladybug and calls Cat Noir, stopping him from helping Chloé with her particle physics homework. Ladybug tells him that he no longer needs to protect Chloé; the Evillustrator is in love with Marinette and promised not to harm Chloé so long as Marinette goes to his birthday party. Chloé walks outside while Cat Noir speaks to Ladybug, trying to get him back inside to complete her homework. Cat Noir turns her away and goes to Marinette's house.

When Marinette leaves her home, she is startled by Sabrina, who is standing on the door stoop. Sabrina completed Marinette's geography homework in a show of friendship. Marinette refuses it initially, telling Sabrina that she really didn't need to do it, but after seeing Sabrina's face fall, Marinette begrudgingly accepts the homework. Sabrina asks Marinette if she wants to work on the physics project immediately, but Marinette can't. Marinette tries explaining to Sabrina that she can't do the project tonight, telling her that she has something really important to do. Sabrina gets mad, comparing Marinette to Chloé because both of them make up vague excuses to get Sabrina to do their work. Sabrina takes away Marinette's geography homework and walks away, upset.

Cat Noir jumps down to Marinette's doorstep, introducing himself to Marinette. He flirts with her heavily, kissing her hand, flexing his muscles, and calling her, "Little Lady." Out of his sight, Marinette mimes Cat Noir talking. When he says that Marinette gets to be "[his] Ladybug," Marinette pretends to be flattered. Cat Noir tells Marinette to get the Evillustrator's stylus away from him and Cat Noir will do the rest. Cat Noir runs off, leaving Marinette giggling.

Later that evening by Notre-Dame, Marinette arrives at the Evillustrator's ship. The Evillustrator is still adding the finishing touches when Hawk Moth interrupts him, causing him pain in his arm. Hawk Moth wants him to get the Miraculouses. The Evillustrator hastily agrees, the pain in his arm going away when Marinette boards the boat. She wishes the Evillustrator, "Happy Birthday." He jumps down from his perch and shows Marinette around. When Marinette says the boat looks beautiful, the Evillustrator lets her know she hasn't seen anything yet. He moves to add more, but clouds cover the moon, blocking his light. The Evillustrator gets angry, surprising Marinette. He explains that he can't draw properly in the dark. Instead, he draws an illuminated globe and sticks it to the top of the miniature Eiffel Tower on the deck of the ship.

Marinette and the Evillustrator sit on a bench, Marinette watching musical notes as they float off the Evillustrator's tablet and into the night. She sees Cat Noir hopping along the rooftops. Marinette distracts the Evillustrator as Cat Noir gets into position. Cat Noir hops down from the Pont Marie and hides while Marinette convinces the Evillustrator to let her draw something. Her hand is on the stylus when Cat Noir's shoes make noise loud enough for the Evillustrator to hear. Marinette grabs the stylus from the Evillustrator and runs when Cat Noir reveals himself. The Evillustrator is hurt; he thought Marinette liked him. Because Marinette used his feelings against him, he compares her to Chloé. Marinette is annoyed; everyone is comparing her to Chloé tonight.

The Evillustrator kicks Cat Noir's staff, knocking the stylus out of Marinette's hands. He grabs the stylus and lands on the illuminated globe, hastily drawing a cube before Cat Noir can attack. The cube traps both Cat Noir and Marinette. The Evillustrator erases part of the boat, creating a hole and leaving them to sink while he goes after Chloé, his promise to Marinette broken. After watching Cat Noir struggle to free them, Marinette angles Cat Noir's baton, lifting the cube and escaping the boat onto the streets of Paris.

Cat Noir runs off, telling Marinette that she can thank him later. Marinette tells Tikki that he should be thanking her since she was the one who freed them. Marinette transforms into Ladybug and follows Cat Noir back to Le Grand Paris.

In her room, Chloé practices crying in front of her mirror while lying and making up excuses over how traumatic the Evillustrator's attack was. She stops when even she doesn't believe her own lies. Hearing banging outside her room, she leaves her bathroom and goes to her room's front door, thinking the banging is Cat Noir. The Evillustrator erases Chloé's door, frightening her. She runs, hiding under her bed. Searching for Chloé, the Evillustrator erases Chloé's closet and the clothes inside, causing Chloé to shriek and reveal her hiding place. The Evillustrator erases Chloé's bed, claiming he has won. Chloé complains about her dresses, calling the Evillustrator a monster. He retaliates by sending a giant heel after Chloé to step on her, but Ladybug breaks the heel, destroying the shoe.

Ladybug and Cat Noir banter with each other while the Evillustrator monologues to them, saying they should be on his side because Chloé is an awful person. Chloé refutes the Evillustrator's statements with her delusions of everyone adoring her. The Evillustrator creates three large punching gloves, one going to Cat Noir, one going to Ladybug and missing, and the third going to Chloé. Ladybug destroys the glove before it can hit Chloé and throws her yo-yo at the Evillustrator, but he creates a glass barrier to protect himself. He draws a spinning saw blade and directs it at Ladybug, but it bounces off her spinning yo-yo into Chloé's direction. Cat Noir throws his staff, stopping the blade just as it reaches Chloé. He breaks his staff in two, throwing both halves at the Evillustrator. He misses, but he breaks one of the lights, forcing the Evillustrator to move. Seeing this, Ladybug tells Cat Noir about the Evillustrator's weakness.

Cat Noir summons his Cataclysm, preparing to use it on the light switch in Chloé's room. He runs to the wall and destroys it, but the lights stay on; the Evillustrator sees through Cat Noir's plan and erases the switch before the wall is demolished. The Evillustrator attaches a ball and chain to Cat Noir's leg and erases the ground beneath him, causing Cat Noir to hang into the room beneath Chloé's.

Hawk Moth intervenes, demanding Cat Noir's Miraculous. Before the Evillustrator can take the Miraculous, Ladybug summons her Lucky Charm, receiving a small bouncy ball. Ladybug throws the ball, breaking all the lights in the room. The Evillustrator puts up his arm to protect his face from the ball, leaving himself open. Ladybug grabs him with her yo-yo, forcing him to drop his stylus. She catches it and breaks it just as Cat Noir's ring signals that he has one minute left. The ball and chain disappear, allowing Cat Noir to climb back into Chloé's room. Ladybug catches the akuma, purifies it, and returns Chloé's room (and her own) to normal.

The next day, Alya interviews Chloé about last night's akuma attack. Chloé complains about Ladybug's and Cat Noir's performances, saying they only made matters worse. Marinette overhears Chloé's complaints and laughs. Sabrina walks over, wearing the Gabriel beret. Marinette apologizes for not being able to work on the project yesterday, but says she can work on the project today. Sabrina brushes her off, saying she and Chloé--meaning just Sabrina--will work on the project. Turns out, Sabrina believes Chloé's lies about the akuma attack. She wanders off to tell Chloé her geography homework is ready.

Marinette closes her locker and screams when Adrien appears behind her. He asks her about Cat Noir, causing her to stutter and call Adrien dreamy and "the most awesome of awesome." Adrien takes Marinette's ramblings to mean that she is a fan of Cat Noir. He pats her shoulder and leaves for class, the school bell ringing. Marinette gazes after him lost in thought. Tikki tells her that she just called Adrien, "awesome," to his face, but Marinette ignores her. Tikki chastises her; Marinette needs better control over her emotions.

The episode ends with an image of Nathaniel's new comic about Ladybug.

8- "Rogercop"
Airdate: October 27, 2015

Tom and Marinette are preparing for going to her school, as it is the day the students bring their parents to school to show their jobs.

Then, at school, while Tom and Marinette are in front of the class, Adrien is just out of the classroom trying to phone his father, but only the voicemail answers. He leaves a message telling him about career day and how he hoped he would show up. Adrien is very upset and disappointed, although when Plagg asks him if he's okay, he answers yes. After that, Adrien sadly returns to the classroom.

In the meantime, Tom finishes talking and Marinette starts dispensing free croissants to all her classmates, and she's sad to see Adrien in so much distress. Afterwards, when she reaches Chloé and Sabrina's desk, she witnesses a discussion between the two and Chloé's father, the mayor, regarding an expensive bracelet the girl brought to school; then, while Marinette is giving a croissant to Sabrina, Chloé jokes that Marinette's father would have to sell the whole shop to buy her a bracelet like that. Therefore, Marinette doesn't give her a croissant, stating that she doesn't need one since she's so rich.

Meanwhile, Plagg, from Adrien's bag, notices Chloé putting her bracelet back into her bag and he mistakes the round box for a shape of Camembert cheese. Thus, he immediately enters the other bag to eat it, and is disappointed when he finds out that it isn't cheese. However, he takes a liking to the object because of how shiny it is, and he starts playing with it by throwing it into the air. Unfortunately, while Alya's mother is talking, he fails the catch with disastrous outcomes: the bracelet gets stuck around his head. Plagg then knocks over Chloé's bag making Marinette trip on it, and finally he rolls back under Adrien's desk.

Chloé reprimands Marinette for being clumsy (she also dropped all of the croissants from the tray and was crouching to pick them up); afterward, while Officer Roger, Sabrina's father, is talking, Chloé notices that her bracelet is missing. She immediately accuses Marinette of stealing it and wants Roger to arrest her. Then, when she sees that both Tom and Roger are against that decision, she calls out for help from her father, who threatens to fire the policeman if he doesn't follow what Chloé said. However, Roger still doesn't arrest Marinette because he can't do that without proof, and therefore the mayor fires him and sends him out of the room.

Officer Roger gets back to his police car, very frustrated with the mayor for firing him for refusing to break the law. Hawk Moth senses Roger's frustration and sends him an akuma which enters the agent's whistle, and after accepting Hawk Moth's offer, he is turned into into Rogercop, a robotic cop, and also receives an enhanced police car.

Meanwhile, the discussion is still open in the classroom: André the mayor is fighting with Marinette's father and they only stop when Miss Bustier reminds them that the children are watching. Only then, Adrien feels a bump on his shoes and sees Plagg, who's struggling to free himself from the bracelet. He then picks him up and goes out of the classroom trying not to draw attention to himself.

Once he leaves the room, Adrien scolds Plagg for causing this mess and starts trying to free him. In the meantime, Rogercop wants to enter the school to arrest the mayor, and he meets Ms. Mendeleiev and Fred Haprèle in the process. He thinks both broke the law (the former because she littered by throwing a paper wrapping into the dumpster but missing it as well as jaywalking, the latter because he tried to stop him from entering the school), so he handcuffs them with the rays he fires from his wrists and then forces them to a punishment with his whistle: Ms. Mendeleiev is forced to pick up the trash from the ground and put it into the trash can and Fred is forced to run around the perimeter of the school courtyard. Adrien sees Roger handcuffing and punishing Fred, but when he asks Plagg to transform, the kwami reveals that, if he did that, the bracelet would be sucked inside the ring and Adrien would be impeded too; hence, Adrien moves to the locker room to try and find other ways to free Plagg. Meanwhile, Marinette is still in the classroom and tries to exculpate herself by accusing other people in the classroom: first, she accuses Sabrina because, in Nino's video of the lesson, she was holding the bracelet, and then Nathaniel because he drew the bracelet on a sheet of paper. Thus, Tom reprimands his daughter for acting like Chloé by accusing her classmates without solid proof.

However, the discussion is suddenly stopped when Rogercop enters the room. He is immediately recognized by Sabrina and he asks the people in the room where the mayor is. Nobody gives him an answer, even when he threatens them to arrest them, but he stops when he hears André's voice in the principal's office: the mayor was threatening not to pay the school if they didn't find the bracelet. Therefore, Rogercop starts moving towards the office.

In the meantime, Marinette gets out of the classroom and, after reproaching herself for behaving horribly towards her classmates, she transforms into Ladybug. Adrien too transforms into Cat Noir after managing to free Plagg by making him sneeze using a piece of cheese covered in pepper.

Ladybug, with her yo-yo, stops Rogercop from firing at the mayor and buys him enough time to get out of the building. However, Rogercop, completely ignoring Chloé who was trying to get his attention, sees him at the exit and follows him. Ladybug tries to stop him from walking, but she only falls flat on her face. Just when the policemen were firing at André, though, Cat Noir appears and jumps on his arm, making him fire what appears to be a microchip at the mayor's limousine instead. The mayor then enters the car and flees.

Cat Noir and Ladybug try to fight Rogercop, but the latter simply grabs Cat Noir's staff and throws him inside the same trash can Ms. Mendeleiev was putting the trash in, and then flings Ladybug inside the school. Afterward, the villain tries to enter his own car to follow the mayor, but he is interrupted by Chloé who, demanding his attention, wants to be listened to. Thus, the cop lets her enter the car and departs.

Cat Noir sees this scene from the trash can and, trying to save Chloé, immediately follows Rogercop and jumps on the back of his car. The villain notices it, activates the car's aerial mode and takes off. Ladybug, using her yo-yo, manages to cling to the car just beside Cat Noir. Rogercop tries to shake them off, but Ladybug catches Cat Noir before he falls. Then the policeman, still ignoring Chloé who asks him to land and arrest Marinette, activates the auto-pilot and climbs on the roof of the car to fight the two heroes.

The fight proceeds without any of the two parts prevailing until the car starts to roll sideways. Ladybug and Cat Noir run to avoid falling off, while Rogercop stays anchored to the car with his boots. After some rotations the robot knocks Ladybug off the car, Cat Noir fails to catch the yo-yo to save her and is grabbed by the villain. However, before Rogercop can take his Miraculous, Cat Noir throws his Staff inside the exhaust pipe using his legs. This causes a small explosion that fires away the Baton and makes Rogercop lose his grip on Cat Noir, who then falls.

Cat Noir manages to grab his stick while falling. He is about to fall on his face when Ladybug saves him with her yo-yo by tying it around a lamppost and his legs so that Cat Noir is hanged upside down in front of her. He then thanks her and tries to kiss her, but she leaves the string and lets him fall, saying that he'll repay her later. Afterward the two heroes wonder where to search for the akumatized villain, and Ladybug correctly suggests the City Hall. In fact, Rogercop follows the mayor's limo to that building, carves a car-shaped hole on the doors with his laser and flies in. Once inside, he handcuffs the mayor with his rays and forces him to give away his position by holding his daughter Chloé hostage.

Therefore, the mayor broadcasts a message to the population in which he gives his position to Rogercop. The latter then declares Ladybug and Cat Noir criminals and that every policeman who sees them must arrest them. The two heroes are in front of the City Hall the moment the message is given, and they are forced to flee as the square is full of policemen.

The night falls, and the two heroes are still on a rooftop near the City Hall, which becomes a police stronghold, trying to find a way to get in when they come up with an idea: Cat Noir descends the rooftop and distracts the policemen by dancing while Ladybug enters the building unseen. The cops are bewildered by Cat Noir's behavior, and only move when Rogercop tells them to arrest him. Then the boy, after jokingly declaring that "rejection hurts", starts fighting them.

Meanwhile, Ladybug stealthily enters the mayor's office where Rogercop is looking out of the window and André and his daughter are being held captive. However, her presence is accidentally revealed to the villain by Chloé, who cheers for the hero. The two start fighting, with Ladybug trying to avoid being hit by his rays by hiding behind tables, and they are soon joined by Cat Noir who managed to beat the policemen.

Rogercop uses his whistle to order the ex-mayor and his daughter to attack the two heroes, but Ladybug and Cat Noir simply make them exit the office. Then the villain starts firing his lasers again (mindlessly, according to Hawk Moth) until Ladybug activates her Lucky Charm from behind a table. She receives an oven mitt, and, following her lucky vision, she moves around the room and collects a belt and another mitt. However, she needs a ring to complete her work, so Cat Noir takes Chloé's bracelet from a pocket and tosses it to the other side of the room (so Ladybug doesn't understand that he had it the whole time). Then he points to it, Ladybug sees it and grabs it with her yo-yo to complete her handmade handcuffs.

Afterwards, Cat Noir gets out of cover and uses Cataclysm on the floor as a diversion: with that, he manages to sink Rogercop's waist-deep in the floor, even though he gets hit by his handcuffing rays in the process which tie him to a bookshelf. Then, Ladybug uses this distraction to jump on top of the villain and put her makeshift handcuffs on him, which stops him from firing his lasers. This makes it easy for Ladybug to get his whistle necklace, who then smashes it on the ground with her shoe. The akuma is thus revealed, and Ladybug de-evilizes it and frees the butterfly.

Finally, after she throws the oven mitt up in the air, all the mess caused by Rogercop's is fixed and Roger finds himself sitting on the mayor's office floor without any memory of his actions as a villain. Ladybug and Cat Noir fist bump and then Cat Noir jokes that they could bump fists like robots (that is fist pounding with both arms stretched) when his Miraculous beeps. Therefore Cat Noir leaves saying that he has to go before Ladybug sees his true face because she would "swoon too hard and never wake up,"[3] to which she answers that it is never going to happen.

In the final scene, Roger gives Chloé her bag, in which she finds her bracelet. Thus, under Ladybug's advice, the mayor apologizes to Roger and offers to give him a raise. After that, a valuable lesson is learned for Chloé to never to accuse anyone without any proof! In the end, Ladybug leaves because her transformation is about to run out, and the ending card appears.

9- "L'Imposteur" ("Copycat")
Airdate: October 28, 2015

Marinette is on the balcony of her house, talking to Tikki about Adrien. Whenever Marinette tries to talk to him, she can't say anything. Tikki suggests talking to him on her cellphone, and Marinette calls Alya to ask for Adrien's number.

Meanwhile, in the park, a statue is about to be revealed. Sculptor Théo Barbot is congratulated by the mayor for putting the effort into making the statue. Théo wishes to meet Ladybug and get her to autograph a picture of her.

Inside Marinette's room, Alya has prepared a speech for Marinette to read to Adrien over the phone to invite him to the movies. Marinette protests, saying that she sounds awkward and unnatural when she reads out loud. Alya replies that Marinette should memorize the text. Before Marinette can back out, Alya presses the "call" button. Marinette dances around with the phone in her hand before she is directed to Adrien's voicemail. He is currently at fencing practice, as seen by Adrien's schedule on the calendar attached to Marinette's ceiling. Alya tells her to leave a message. Panicked, Marinette leaves an impromptu voicemail and throws it on her chaise lounge back to Alya. She then accidentally records herself confessing her crush since she never ended the call. They try to delete the message, but Adrien's phone saves it. To save her dignity, Marinette and Alya hurry to the school to delete the message from Adrien's phone before fencing practice ends. Meanwhile, Adrien takes a break from practice to get some water. Hidden away in his locker, Plagg tells him he has a new voicemail on this phone from an unknown sender. When Adrien goes to check his messages, he notices that it is nearly 2:00 and that he'll be late to the statue reveal. He quickly transforms into Cat Noir.

Just as they leave the bakery, Marinette and Alya notice Cat Noir jumping over the rooftops and landing in front of the statue in the park. Only then do they remember that the statue reveal was supposed to be today. Alya stays in the park to take pictures of the ceremony for the Ladyblog while Marinette runs ahead to the school to erase the voicemail, hoping to return in time as Ladybug.

Théo is disappointed that Ladybug has not yet shown up to the ceremony, but Cat Noir assures him that she should be there soon. He goes as far as calling himself the leader of the duo. André thinks Ladybug might show up sooner if they start the ceremony without her, but Théo convinces him to wait a little longer.

Marinette sneaks into the boys' locker room and calls Adrien's cell phone to figure out which locker is his. Simultaneously, André ultimately starts the ceremony without Ladybug and unveils the statue, much to Théo's disappointment, and Marinette finds Adrien's locker. Tikki unlocks the door by phasing through it. The statue ceremony ends and people leave. Cat Noir stays behind to thank André while Théo expresses his sadness at not being able to meet Ladybug. From Théo's words, Cat Noir realizes that Théo is in love with Ladybug. He becomes jealous, insinuating to Théo that he and Ladybug are already in a romantic relationship. Théo leaves angrily, wondering what Ladybug sees in Cat Noir. Back at the school, fencing practice is over and the boys are returning to the locker room. Tikki is impatient to get to the statue reveal ceremony, but Marinette has been unable to delete the message from Adrien's phone; she cannot get past the pattern lock to open it. When the fencers enter the locker room, she hides behind the door, takes the phone, and sneaks out of the school just as Adrien returns. Adrien takes his bag from his locker and leaves, not realizing that his phone is missing.

In his studio, Théo rages about how Cat Noir does not take love seriously and how he, not Cat, deserves to be with Ladybug. Hawk Moth, sensing Théo's jealousy and anger, sends out an akuma. The akuma lands on the photo of Ladybug, and Théo transforms into the supervillain Copycat. Hawk Moth promises that Théo can have Ladybug forever if he brings back Cat Noir's and Ladybug's Miraculouses.

Back at home, Adrien cannot find his phone and thinks Plagg did something to it. Grabbing the house phone, he calls his cell phone, freaking Marinette out when he does. Thinking he left it at the gym, Adrien grabs Plagg and hurries out of the house. Meanwhile, Copycat wanders into the Louvre and steals the Mona Lisa as all the museum visitors look on, seeking to frame Cat Noir. In the car, Adrien hears of the theft and hurries into the school, transforming into Cat Noir and running off to the Louvre. His driver waits outside the school. Marinette is still trying to break into Adrien's phone, wearing ridiculous gear while doing so, when Alya calls from the Louvre, informing her about Cat Noir (Copycat) stealing the Mona Lisa. At first, Marinette is confused, thinking someone has robbed Cat Noir, but Alya clarifies. Marinette does not believe that Cat Noir would do such a thing. She transforms into Ladybug and goes to investigate.

At the Louvre, Cat Noir convinces the police to let him investigate the scene of the theft, telling them that the thief was an impostor. Under the guise of believing him, Roger Raincomprix tricks Cat Noir and locks him in the room. Roger refuses to let Ladybug see him when she arrives, telling her to leave this case to the professionals. Cat Noir uses his Cataclysm to escape, fighting off a squad of officers waiting in the entrance of the Louvre. When Roger hears of Cat Noir's escape, he and Ladybug run inside, only to find the officers on the ground. Ladybug realizes that Cat Noir was holding back against the police. Ladybug leaves, letting the "professionals" take care of Cat Noir. Outside, Cat Noir uses his staff to contact Ladybug's yo-yo, telling her he has to find the impostor and flees the police helicopters and squad cars. He disappears into an underground metro station and de-transforms into Adrien. Across the street at the Metro he entered is a pileup of police cars. Plagg suspects that the impostor is a new akuma victim and Adrien realizes it must be Théo, recognizing the lollipop stick that Copycat had planted in the Louvre.

Cat Noir arrives at Théo's studio and calls Ladybug, letting her know that he found Copycat's hideout. She asks where he is, but Cat Noir decides that—since this situation is his fault—he has to handle it alone so he doesn't tell her where he is before hanging up. Ladybug uses the tracking device in her yo-yo to find him. Inside, Cat Noir finds a note in front of a lucky cat on top of a box from Copycat that says, "Cat's in the bag." The note turns out to be a trap, as the box springs open and catches him in a pair of shackles. He tries to use Cataclysm to break the chains, but Copycat appears from behind and forces his hand to touch a random plank of wood, wasting the Cataclysm. Copycat also steal's Cat Noir's staff and poses as the real Cat, calling and informing Ladybug that he has captured the "fake." Cat Noir tries to tell her it's a trap, but Copycat hangs up before she can hear. He then reveals to Cat Noir his plan to win Ladybug's love from him and proceeds to taunt him. Ladybug arrives just as Copycat is about to remove Cat Noir's Miraculous. He tells her that the akuma is inside the ring, encouraging her to take it off Cat's finger just as the ring loses its second dot. The real Cat Noir begs Ladybug to ask the impostor about their relationship while using a nickname only the actual Cat Noir uses. Ladybug, realizing something is fishy, asks Copycat if he kept their secret promise. Not knowing that Ladybug and Cat Noir never made any promise, Copycat says he kept the secret, revealing himself as the fake. He says he loves Ladybug and insists that he would be much better for her than the real Cat Noir. Ladybug replies that while Cat Noir has his flaws, he has never lied to her. Cat Noir kicks Copycat off of him. Copycat activates Cataclysm, claiming that if he can't have Ladybug, then no one will. Ladybug retorts that she belongs to no one and uses Lucky Charm, a spoon appearing. Cat Noir gets into a defensive stance. Copycat lunges to attack Ladybug, but she shields herself with Cat Noir's chains, using Copycat's Cataclysm to break them and free her partner. Freed, Cat Noir kicks Copycat into the opposite wall.

Cat Noir reveals that the akuma is inside the photo in Copycat's pocket, but they have to hurry as his ring has lost another dot, while Copycat's countdown has only just begun. The two battle with Copycat, who is armed with both his and Cat Noir's staffs and is surprisingly skilled. When Copycat is distracted, gloating about himself, Ladybug uses her yo-yo to steal one of the staffs, returning it to Cat Noir. She also uses her yo-yo to catch the arm of one of the Cats, who protests that he is the real Cat Noir. The other Cat immediately insists that the first one is lying. Irritated with both of them, Ladybug demands to see how many toe beans they have left on their rings. The Cat she caught with her yo-yo turns out to be the real one, as he is down to one dot, while Copycat hisses in frustration, hiding his ring and making three dots disappear at once. Ladybug releases Cat Noir, and the two Cats resume fighting. Using her lucky vision, Ladybug spots one of the staffs (lost earlier during the fight), a support beam on the ceiling, her yo-yo, and the spoon from her Lucky Charm. She makes a fishing rod with the staff, the yo-yo, and some duct tape, bending the spoon into a hook shape. She catches Copycat by the belt with her fishing rod and swings over the beam, suspending him from the ceiling. She then takes the photo from his pocket and tears it. The akuma flies out. Ladybug catches it, purifies it, and returns everything back to normal; the Mona Lisa is returned to the Louvre and Copycat turns back into Théo. Cat Noir is relieved that Ladybug could tell him apart from the fake. She retorts that it wasn't so difficult once she knew who was really in love with her, referring to Théo.

Down to his last dot, Cat Noir takes his leave, remarking that Ladybug has broken his heart as well as Théo's, but she doesn't hear him. Ladybug apologizes to Théo for not showing up to the statue reveal earlier that day and autographs his photo, complimenting him on his work. Still believing that Ladybug and Cat Noir are in a relationship, Théo says he is okay and promises not to tell anyone, to which Ladybug responds with confusion.

Cat Noir returns to the school as Adrien but eventually goes home, unable to find his phone. With Alya's help, Marinette manages to get past the pattern lock and delete the voicemail. She sneaks the phone back into Adrien's bag at school the next day.

Adrien is bewildered to find his phone in his bag, as he has checked there a million times. Nino says he needs to clear his head and suggests that they go see a movie that night. Alya asks Nino if it's okay for her and Marinette to tag along, and Nino agrees that that would be cool. Adrien turns around and smiles up at Marinette. Marinette jumps for joy, ending the episode.

10- "Dislocœur" ("Dark Cupid")
Airdate: October 29, 2015

In class, Miss Bustier reviews how most fairy tales end, with the prince kissing the princess, due to love being the only thing that can defeat hate. According to Max, this is only true 87% of the time. During this discussion, Adrien is distractedly writing on a paper. Miss Bustier, believing he isn't paying attention, asks Adrien what she just said, and he does, word for word, without looking up. The bell then rings, prompting Miss Bustier to remind the class to read Sleeping Beauty by Charles Perrault. She dismisses them, wishing them a happy Valentine's Day.

Adrien remains at his desk, pondering what else to write on the paper, before he becomes frustrated, crumples it into a ball, and throws it away. Marinette stayed behind, rifling through the trash can for the paper. During this, Chloé and Sabrina stop Adrien from leaving. Chloé asks Adrien to sign a poster, and Adrien declines as he does not enjoy giving autographs. Chloé reassures Adrien that he isn't signing a poster, but a petition against hamsters' cruelty — due to the ugly sweaters they're forced to wear. Annoyed, he signs it, walking away. At that moment, Chloé spots Marinette searching through the trash can. She and Sabrina make rude jokes about Marinette being too poor for food and new clothes, then run away, laughing.

Marinette, however, finds the note. Translated from French, it states, "Your hair is jet black, your eyes as blue as the heavens, I want to ask who you are behind your mysterious mask. I see you every day and I would like you to give me a sign, I shall love you 'til the end of my days, will you be my Valentine?" Tikki is surprised by the fact that it was a love letter but assures Marinette that it is about her, even when Marinette states that there are many other girls with black hair and blue eyes. Tikki also mentions that the "mysterious mask" is about Marinette's inner self. Marinette jumps up and down excitedly, telling Tikki to pinch her as she must be dreaming. Tikki is confused by this but pinches Marinette anyway, causing Marinette to shout.

After the school day ends, Max hands Kim a box, stating that inside the box was the piece of jewelry girls loved most. Kim opens the heart-shaped box, revealing a yellow brooch with large blue gems and 10 pearls of varying size. Alya sees this and drags Marinette over, wondering whom it is for. Max almost reveals whom, but Kim shushes him, stating, "The walls have ears." Alya, the reporter that she is, begins recording, asking Kim, who the lucky lady is, but Marinette stops her, excited for Kim. Kim then begins to despair because he hasn't yet asked the girl to be his Valentine and doubts that she would accept. Marinette reassures him that the girl will love Kim's gift and that he should have no regrets. Max gives Kim a map with red and yellow highlights on it. The yellow markings are the girl's route, and the red ones are Kim's. He has to get to the Pont des Arts within two minutes in order to cross her path. Thanking Marinette, Kim sprints to the bridge, jewelry box in hand. Alya then nudges Marinette, claiming Marinette should take her own advice. This leads to Marinette deciding to write Adrien a letter about her feelings for him.

Chloé and Sabrina stand outside the school next to a pillar with one of Adrien's new posters on it and with several girls, including Mireille Caquet and Aurore Beauréal, standing around it. Chloé tells the girls to stop gushing over Adrien as he is now hers. She then has Sabrina unroll the poster that Adrien unwittingly signed earlier. It is a copy of the one on the pillar, only it says, "To Chloé, the most wonderful girl of the universe and the love of my life," signed by Adrien. This causes the girls to burst out crying. If they aren't crying hard enough, then Chloé makes Sabrina rub the poster in their faces. Back in Marinette's room, Marinette is at her desk, writing words, then scratching them out on a piece of paper. She complains to Tikki that writing love letters are difficult. Tikki suggests that Marinette just needs to write a response to Adrien's letter. Marinette wonders why she didn't think of that earlier, then Alya enters, holding a pink heart-shaped card. Marinette immediately gets to work, her words coming easier as she writes. When she's finished, Alya reminds her to sign the card, but both of them become distracted when a ladybug enters the room, landing on the card. Alya mentions ladybugs bring good luck, "especially to cute lovers," referring to a recent post she made about ladybugs on the Ladyblog.

In Adrien's room, Adrien and Plagg view Ladyblog's article on ladybugs. Adrien is still trying to figure out who Ladybug is, and Plagg could care less and would rather eat cheese. Plagg points out that Adrien knows nothing about Ladybug, but Adrien counters that Plagg knows nothing about love.This causes Plagg to list his favorite cheeses, making Adrien more dejected. In that moment, Adrien decides to tell Ladybug that he loves her. Plagg makes an adorable noise in abject horror before returning to his Camembert.

On the Pont des Arts, Kim waits nervously for his girl to arrive. He hears her speaking on the phone and gasps. Kim has a crush on Chloé! Chloé is discussing an expensive frame for Adrien's signed poster, ignoring Kim. Kim steps in her way, stuttering before he gains his composure. He drops to one knee, landing in a puddle. Holding out the box and asking if she would be his Valentine, a man on a bike rides past, splashing Kim with more water. Then, the wind blows an empty chips bag in his face. Chloé spots this and commands him not to move. She then takes a humiliating picture of him, sending it to the rest of the school. Chloé leaves, laughing, telling Kim that her heart belongs to someone far more interesting than him. Kim falls to the ground, crying.

Hawk Moth senses Kim's misery from his lair. He releases an akuma, claiming a feast awaits it due to the heartbreak and illusions on Valentine's Day. The akuma flies to Kim, infecting the brooch. Hawk Moth gives Kim the name Dark Cupid and the power to break apart lovers and friendships. Kim transforms into a red and a black villain with wings, an open-heart bow, arrows shaped like roses, and the insignia of a broken heart across his chest. The brooch remains on the strap holding the quiver of arrows in place. Dark Cupid takes to the air, shooting arrows at people left and right, breaking apart relationships. The lips of people affected by his arrows turn black. Marinette and Alya head out of the bakery. Tom offers the two girls freshly made candy apples, which they take. They run to a nearby mailbox to send the letter off. Marinette hesitates, her hand shaking, as she shoves the letter in the box. It is this moment when they receive a text message from Chloé, a picture of Kim. Marinette immediately feels guilty, as it was her advice that led Kim to ask Chloé to be his valentine. Alya offhandedly mentions that she hopes Adrien won't act like Chloé, causing Marinette to freak out and attempt to get the letter back. Alya calms Marinette down, saying she was only joking. Alya spots Dark Cupid in the sky.

Dark Cupid spots the heart shaped apples Alya holds, shooting an arrow at Alya, claiming that every heart must be broken. This turns Alya against Marinette. Alya shoves the sticky candy apples on Marinette, announcing that the two were never friends and that Marinette's letter to Adrien was stupid. She runs off, cackling. Marinette glares at Dark Cupid, discovering the brooch. She makes the connection that Kim was akumatized and transforms into Ladybug to follow him. Chasing after Dark Cupid, she spots him taking aim at Chloé, who is angry over the lack of karats in the frame of Adrien's portrait. Ladybug knocks off Kim's aim, causing the arrow to miss. Ladybug attempts to talk Dark Cupid out of attacking the rest of Paris due to Chloé's meanness, but Dark Cupid believes that he is justified in breaking hearts. He says he'll only stop when he breaks every heart in Paris, then takes aim at Ladybug. She knocks away his shots with her yo-yo. Using it as a shield, Ladybug skirts across Paris' rooftops before falling off a steep incline, holding onto the eave of a building. Dark Cupid loses her. Hawk Moth threatens to take Dark Cupid's power away if he doesn't find the Miraculous. Dark Cupid searches for her vigorously.

Ladybug watches Dark Cupid fly by. Cat Noir then appears, holding out a hand to Ladybug while he's standing on his staff, which is wedged into a wall. She takes it and stands on his baton. He pulls her close, shushing her when she tries to tell him about Dark Cupid. Just as he is about to say, "I love you," Dark Cupid arrives. Cat Noir swings Ladybug around, protecting her with his body and taking the shot meant for her. He hugs her, his lips turning black, and he squeezes her, stating that he hates her and that she means nothing to him. To get free, Ladybug steps on Cat Noir's foot, backs up, then uses the end of the baton as a springboard, flinging herself into the air. She yo-yos away, landing in the lobby of Chloé's hotel.

Cat Noir retracts his staff, returning it to its normal length. He climbs up the side of the building and finds Dark Cupid at the top, agreeing to assist him in taking Ladybug's Miraculous.

Ladybug finds Chloé and Sabrina and tells them to run away, that Dark Cupid is after them. Chloé can't believe that Kim holds a grudge against her and thinks he's jealous because Chloé has Adrien, "a very cute boy from [her] class...[who's] super rich and obviously madly in love" with Chloé. She points to the poster outside and it begins to move, Dark Cupid revealing himself from behind it. Ladybug protects the girls from Dark Cupid's arrows, wraps Chloé up in her yo-yo string, and pulls Chloé outside, telling her to run.

Cat Noir jumps out in front of Ladybug, halting her pursuit as Dark Cupid chases after Chloé and Sabrina. At this moment, Ladybug really doesn't want to fight Cat Noir, so she gets out of his reach, leading him up Paris' rooftops. She stops his advance with her yo-yo and questions him as to where he gained all this anger. He states that the hates triumph and Ladybug counters that by stating what wins, love. From this, she realizes that only love can save him, and for that to happen, she has to kiss him. Ladybug chases after Cat Noir, trying to kiss him, but he runs away, the tables having been turned.

Dark Cupid corners Chloé, preparing to take his revenge. But she launches into a selfish rant about her clothes and hair being ruined and decides to let Dark Cupid change her, believing that things couldn't get any worse for her. Seeing how pathetic and petty she is, he decides not to waste an arrow on her as she has no room in her heart for love, laughing at her as he leaves Chloé, covered in dirt, is approached by Sabrina, who was turned dark. Sabrina takes a photograph of Chloé, sending it out to the rest of the school.

Ladybug catches Cat Noir by the ankle, tying him around a lamp post. Hanging upside down, she tries to kiss him three times, but he squirms, and Dark Cupid arrives. Freed, Cat Noir fist-bumps Dark Cupid. Activating his Cataclysm, he comments on how he always wondered what would happen if he used his Cataclysm powers on a person. Hiding behind a tree, Ladybug uses Lucky Charm, and a candy apple appearing. Using her Lucky Vision, Ladybug spots the water fountain, Cat Noir's Cataclysm, and Dark Cupid's quiver's strap.

Sliding from behind the tree, Ladybug has her yo-yo swinging. She tells the boys she has Valentine's gift for them, spurring them into action. Ladybug defends herself from Dark Cupid's arrows with her yo-yo and ducks under Cat Noir's arm, his hand far too close to her face for comfort. She then pulls on his tail, making him stagger as she bounces on his head. In the air, she flings the candy apple at Dark Cupid's head, where it sticks. Dark Cupid pries it off, but due to its stickiness, he is unable to notch an arrow properly. He leaves Cat Noir to fight Ladybug while he washes his hands.

Cat Noir chases Ladybug around the fountain until he pins her on the ground. While he is monologuing, he releases her arms. This allows Ladybug to reach up and pull down Cat Noir's face, kissing him. When Cat Noir snaps out of it, he has no memory of what previously happened or where he is. Ignoring his confusion, Ladybug swings him up onto her shoulders and throws him at Dark Cupid. He lands on Dark Cupid, and the unused Cataclysm dissolves the quiver's strap.

Taking the brooch, he tosses it to Ladybug, jokingly pretending it's Valentine's Day present. Ladybug goes along with it, gushing over how he shouldn't have gotten it for her before she "accidentally" drops it. She smashes the brooch under her heel, revealing the akuma. Opening her yo-yo, Ladybug captures the akuma, setting it free after she cleanses it. Throwing the candy apple into the air, Ladybug cleanses the rest of Paris. This act stops Alya from cutting a picture of her and Marinette in half. This also stops Sabrina from defacing the poster of Adrien, but the damage was already done there, causing Sabrina and Chloé to cry. Kim returns to normal, and Ladybug and Cat Noir fist-bump. Ladybug's Miraculous beeps, sending her running off. Cat Noir stops her, wanting to tell her something, but he is unable to. Ladybug tries to explain the kiss, but as Cat Noir has no idea what she's talking about, she stops. He tries to speak again, but his Miraculous begins beeping, stopping him. Since Ladybug does not wish to see his civilian form, nor reveal hers, the two depart in opposite directions.

Back at the mailbox, Marinette watches as the mailman opens the box, letters cascading out of it. Tikki mentions that this is Marinette's chance to take the letter back, but Marinette has changed. Marinette learned that in order for Adrien to love her back, he must first know that she loves him.

Adrien returns home, dismal. He collapses on his bed as Plagg tries to discuss the day. Plagg can remember everything that happened, whereas Adrien cannot. All Adrien knows is that he was extremely mean, rude, and fought against his Lady. Plagg tries cheering him up by handing him one of the dozens of letters and gifts on Adrien's desk. He ends up pulling out a pink, heart-shaped letter. It floats next to Adrien and he reads it, surprised that someone answered his letter. The response was, "Your hair is golden, your eyes, green iridescent. When I look at you I would like to share your dreams and thoughts. Yes, I'll be your Valentine, we'll be good together. I will love you forever, my heart is yours." Plagg believes that with something so lovey-dovey that it has to have been written by Adrien's soul mate. However, it isn't signed. A ladybug flies into the room onto the letter, making Adrien believe the letter came from Ladybug. He gets up and follows it to the window where it flies away.

Meanwhile, Marinette can't remember if she signed the letter or not, recalling a ladybug distracted both her and Alya. Alya laughs at the fact that Marinette forgot to sign something to Adrien. The ladybug flies into the shot again, and the end card appears.

11- "Horrificator"
Airdate: October 30, 2015

In Miss Bustier's classroom, Mylène and Adrien are holding water guns and hiding behind the teacher's desk. It is momentarily revealed that they are acting for a short film that Nino is making as an entry in a contest. Mylène is playing the role of Agent Smith while Adrien is playing the role of Officer Jones, and the two are devising a plan to take down a monster. However, the filming is interrupted when Mylène panics at the sight of Ivan's monster costume and screams.

To calm herself, Mylène sings "Smelly Wolf," but she backs up into Adrien and screams again. Chloé then makes fun of Mylène, making her run away. Adrien calls Chloé out on how mean she is, but Chloé dismisses it. Ivan runs after Mylène, trying to comfort her by saying that she's a better actress than she thinks and that the other students are being too quick to judge her.

He gives her a pin from his favorite band, the Zombie Skull Crushers. Mylène puts the pin on her hat and thanks Ivan, but is still upset, and runs away to the bathroom, crying. Hawk Moth, sensing Mylène's distress, sends an akuma after her. Back in the classroom, Nino rants to the class about how they treated Mylène and how because of that they no longer have their lead actress. Chloé then states that Mylène was a horrible actress and that she could do better; Ivan scolds Chloé for how she treated Mylène. As the producer, Marinette decides to go find Mylène, but the other students decide that until Mylène returns someone has to fill her role. Chloé wants to take the part because of a scene in the script where Agent Smith kisses Inspector Jones. Both Marinette and Alya freak out at the mention of this scene—Marinette because it could lead to Adrien and Chloé kissing, and Alya because she, as the scriptwriter, never wrote a kissing scene into the script. Nino reveals that he added the scene himself, and this infuriates Alya, who says that Nino had no right to change the script and that the new scene does not contribute to the overall story and the development of the central characters. Marinette stops the fighting and tells the class that she will find Mylène.

Right before Marinette enters the bathroom, the akuma arrives and embeds itself inside Mylène's Zombie Skull Crushers pin. Hawk Moth offers Mylène the chance to make others scared and afraid and she accepts, transforming into Horrificator, a creature that feeds on fear. After her transformation, she coughs pink slime onto the mirror and hides in a stall as Marinette enters the bathroom and calls out for Mylène. Walking into the room, Marinette notices the slime on the mirror and begins to investigate, but is interrupted by Alya, who enters the bathroom and warns Marinette that the scene where Chloé kisses Adrien is in the process of being filmed. Marinette and Alya return and interrupt the scene before Chloé and Adrien have the chance to kiss.

The students continue to argue. Chloé proposes turning Agent Smith into a nurse since she claims she would look good in a nurse's outfit. This irritates most of the students, but Marinette uses this as a diversion, suggesting that Chloé should go and find a nurse costume. Chloé leaves, taking Sabrina, Kim, and Max with her. Nino complains, as once again, they have no lead actress. Alya proposes that Marinette takes over the role of Agent Smith. Marinette protests this, but Alya quietly reminds her that this would be an opportunity to kiss Adrien. Marinette reluctantly agrees to take the role but says that Mylène will get to take over as soon as she gets back.

Meanwhile, Chloé, Sabrina, Kim, and Max are leaving the school as Horrificator watches from the roof. Chloé praises herself for the idea of getting a nurse's uniform. Arriving at the school's main door, Chloé realizes that Marinette is never a fan of her ideas, and suspects that they've all been tricked. She leads Sabrina back towards the classroom and tells Kim and Max to finish finding a nurse uniform. As Chloé and Sabrina leave, Horrificator sneaks up behind Kim and Max and startles them, causing them both to scream.

Back in the classroom, Nino starts filming Marinette and Adrien. Marinette says one line and leans in to kiss Adrien. Before they have a chance to kiss, Chloé slams open the door and interrupts, yelling at Marinette for tricking her, and saying that the movie needs her in it because her father is one of the judges. Suddenly, yelling comes from elsewhere in the school.

The students run out into the courtyard only to find pink slime and Kim's armband. Marinette realizes that the pink slime is the same as what she had seen in the bathroom, and suggests that they find Principal Damocles to talk about what to do. She notices Nino filming the situation and tells him to stop, but he refuses, suggesting that he can use this in his movie. Adrien heads back toward the classroom, claiming to be retrieving Officer Jones' jacket. As the other students run to Principal Damocles' office, Horrificator begins wrapping pink slime around the entire school.

In the classroom, Adrien removes his shoe—to make it look like he was taken by Horrificator—and transforms into Cat Noir. Marinette has a similar plan, dropping her phone in the hallway and transforming into Ladybug in the library.

Inside the office, the students only find pink slime and realize that Principal Damocles is missing. They head back out into the hallway and find Marinette's cellphone, presuming her to have been taken as well. They then realize that the entire school is covered in slime and that none of their cellphones have any signal. Ladybug arrives on the scene and tries to evacuate the students, but Cat Noir explains that slime is indestructible. He pulls Ladybug aside and reiterates the situation and what they have to do; Ladybug agrees completely. Nino films the entire scene.

Meanwhile, Horrificator carries Max to her lair in a maintenance area, holding him up by her tail. She drops him in a small pod of slime. As Max screams, Horrificator grows slightly larger, and Hawk Moth encourages Horrificator to absorb the fear of the students. Horrificator covers Max's pod with slime, trapping him inside.

As the students follow Ladybug and Cat Noir across the school, Chloé breaks away from the group with Sabrina, saying that it would be safer for them to hide and draw less attention. The students arrive back in the original classroom, where they find Adrien's shoe on the floor. Nathaniel is captured by Horrificator, who was hiding under the desk. Ladybug tells the other students to run, and all of them flee except for Juleka and Nino. Horrificator growls at Juleka, but Juleka finds Horrificator to be cool rather than scary. This causes Horrificator to shrink slightly, but she coughs slime at Juleka, who is saved at the last minute by Ladybug as Cat Noir distracts Horrificator from doing so. Nino starts to film their fight but is dragged out of the room by Ladybug. She and Cat Noir try to figure out where the akuma is hiding, but neither has any ideas.

Ladybug, Cat Noir, and Horrificator start to fight in the school's courtyard as the students hide near another classroom. Their screams cause Horrificator to grow, and Ladybug realizes that Horrificator is feeding on their fear. She explains this to Cat Noir and rushing at Horrificator, using her yo-yo as a shield. She restrains Horrificator with her yo-yo so Cat Noir can attack from above, but Horrificator pushes back Cat Noir with a spray of slime and pins him to the railing of the upstairs balcony. Pulling on the yo-yo string, Horrificator flings Ladybug into a basketball hoop and cements her there with slime as well. With both heroes restrained, Horrificator approaches the students but is distracted by Ivan. After staring at him, she licks his face affectionately as she takes Alix as her next victim and escapes into a nearby classroom.

Cat Noir breaks Ladybug out of the basketball hoop, expanding his staff to break the board behind her head. On the ground and free, she wraps her yo-yo around his baton and pulls him out of the slime. They try to pursue Horrificator, but are stopped by a door that has been secured shut with slime. Ladybug realizes that Horrificator is Mylène, based on how she treated Ivan. The group then realizes that Sabrina and Chloé are missing.

Meanwhile, Chloé and Sabrina are in Ms. Mendeleiev's classroom. Sabrina is barricading the doors with lockers while Chloé is painting her nails and praising her own ideas. Horrificator is revealed to be in the classroom, and she captures Sabrina and roars at Chloé. Chloé screams, alerting Ladybug and Cat Noir to where she is. Ladybug and Cat Noir use the slime left behind to track Horrificator to the maintenance area, bringing the remaining students with them.

Inside Horrificator's lair, pink slime drips in large globs from the ceiling and large pods rise from the floor. Ladybug calls out to find out who is there, hearing responses from everybody except Adrien. Cat Noir hides behind some of the pods to avoid being seen and calls out, saying that as Adrien that he is there. He then asks if Marinette is there, and Ladybug claims that everybody is fine. Both Ladybug and Cat Noir try to crack open the pods to no avail.

Horrificator enters and sprays slime on the exit, preventing anybody from leaving and dramatically landing right in front of Ladybug, who admits that Horrificator is getting quite scary. Cat Noir picks up slime pellets and throws them at Horrificator to distract her. Ladybug uses Lucky Charm, which gives her a set of guitar strings. Remembering that Horrificator is Mylène, she thinks of the song "Smelly Wolf." Off to her right, she spots a cart with industrial supplies on it and pulls it over with her yo-yo and hands out the supplies to the students while Cat Noir distracts Horrificator. Blocking another bout of slime and climbing a ladder up to a second-story platform, Cat Noir uses Cataclysm on the steel poles holding the platform, trapping Horrificator in a makeshift cage. He jumps down from the platform and joins the students in their makeshift band. Rose is holding two trash can lids as cymbals. Alya and Nino hold traffic cones as microphones. Ivan has a brush and dustpan. Juleka is holding a box with a lid. Cat Noir uses old water containers and trash cans as a drum set. Ladybug uses an upside down bucket, a broom, and guitar strings to form a bass. She then asks the others if they knew Mylène's lullaby, getting confirmation from everyone.

Ladybug begins the song, everyone else joining in on the second verse. The song causes Horrificator to shrink to a very small size. She runs to Ivan and jumps into his arms. Ladybug spots the pin on Horrificator's head, takes it off, and crushes it between her thumb and index finger, releasing the akuma so she can capture and purify it. Throwing the guitar strings in the air, she cleanses the entire school and frees all the captured students. Nino keeps filming as Mylène returns to normal.

Hawk Moth, defeated again, claims he will destroy Ladybug as his window of his lair closes.

Nino films Mylène and Ivan kissing and uses this as the end of his movie. He shows it to Mr. Bourgeois, but the video is rejected from the contest due to the monster not being realistic enough. Adrien reassures Nino that this wouldn't mean the end of his career, as there are other directors who began from nothing. Alya offhandedly refers to the kiss not being the one they expected, and Marinette smiles, gazing off into the distance and the end card then appears.

12- "Le Chevalier Noir" ("Darkblade")
Airdate: December 6, 2015

Marinette jumps down into her room from the balcony, immediately detransforming from Ladybug. Nadja Chamack is on Marinette's computer, the news report relaying how Ladybug and Cat Noir saved the day. Marinette pulls out a pink box, prompting Tikki to ask about it. Marinette explains that it will be holding her diary, which contains all of her secrets as Ladybug. Marinette sets the diary in the box with the lid open, telling Tikki to try and take it out. Tikki flies down and picks up the edge. Before she can fly out, the lid slams shut, locking her inside. Marinette lets her out with a key. Nadja Chamack switches to another news report, stating that the previous day, Mr. André Bourgeois was reelected for the fourth time as the Mayor of Paris. Seeing Chloé's attitude in the news footage, Marinette comments that Chloé is acting like she is the one to have been reelected. This comment prompts Marinette to remember that the next day is the election for class representatives at Collège Françoise Dupont and that Chloé is in the running. Tikki suggests that Marinette run too, but Marinette feels as if she has too much to do between homework and saving Paris. The news report returns, bringing with it the face of Armand D'argencourt, the losing candidate, who is also a fencing instructor at the Collège. Marinette rests her hand on her chin, watching the report until she sees the time in the corner of 8:44 am, knowing she'll be late to school if she stays any longer.

In Miss Bustier's classroom, Chloé and Sabrina are standing in the front of the students. Sabrina is running with Chloé as her deputy. Just then, Marinette runs in, her excuse being that she missed the bus and she has a cold. Alya brings Marinette up to speed, mentioning that Chloé has been the class representative since elementary school. Miss Bustier dismisses them for lunch, letting the class mull over its decision. In the school's courtyard, Chloé uses threats to dissuade Kim from entering the race for class representative and wanders off with Sabrina to threaten the rest of the class. When Marinette asks Alix what Chloé told her, Alix mentions that she doesn't care and wonders why Marinette won't run. Marinette claims again that she's far too busy to run, but then cedes that she will run if no one else will. Returning to the classroom, Miss Bustier asks if anyone else wants to run against Chloé and Sabrina. Finding no opposition, Miss Bustier almost declares Chloé and Sabrina the class representatives, but Marinette interjects, stating that she'll enter the race. Excited, Miss Bustier tells Marinette that the next day the candidates will give speeches and the students will have a chance to vote. During a break, Alya tries to help Marinette come up with a campaign platform. Marinette realizes that she had not put much thought into how to run a campaign, but is approached by Rose, Juleka, and Nino, who supply her with plenty of ideas. Alya spots Adrien descending the stairs and asks him if he will vote for Marinette. Adrien responds that he will vote for Marinette if she gives a good speech, thereby motivating Marinette further. Only meters away, Chloé and Sabrina watch the scene, and Chloé explains to Sabrina that according to her father, the best way to win a political race is to destroy the opposition's reputation and reveal its secrets.

Back in her room, Marinette lists what her classmates want in her diary, trying to come up with her speech. Marinette's cellphone buzzes, and when Marinette picks up she sees Alya, who appears angry. Alya explains that Chloé invited the entire class to the Hôtel de Ville to meet Jagged Stone. Marinette is excited since Jagged Stone is her favorite singer but quickly realizes that Chloé is buying her classmates' votes with autographs. Marinette leaves her room, leaving the diary box open on her desk.

As Marinette runs out of the bakery, Sabrina steps around the corner, on her phone with Chloé. Sabrina walks in past the customers Sabine is waiting on, claiming she needs to pick up a math book that Marinette borrowed from her. Sabine explains that Marinette just left, and sends Sabrina up to Marinette's room.

During his fencing class, Adrien is taken out by a remarkable attack from his coach, Mr. D’Argencourt, who reveals that the move was developed by his ancestor, Darkblade. D'Argencourt then explains how his ancestor once conquered Paris and ruled over it with an iron fist, but was overthrown by a wealthy Frenchman. Nadja Chamack appears behind him and asks him whether the story of his ancestor was what motivated him to run in the election. Infuriated, Mr. D’Argencourt ends Adrien’s lesson and storms off. Hawk Moth senses Mr. D’Argencourt’s frustration and sends an akuma after him.

As Mr. D'Argencourt leaves the school, Nadja and her cameraman follow him while getting footage for the news. When Mr. D’Argencourt bumps into a poster featuring Mayor Bourgeois, he angrily slashes it to pieces, surprising the news crew behind him. The akuma then arrives and possesses his fencing sword. Hawk Moth offers D'Argencourt the chance to be the city’s new ruler and akumatizes him into the supervillain Darkblade, who transforms Nadja and her cameraman into knights. He proclaims that he will form an army, take over City Hall, and reclaim his family’s throne. Seeing Darkblade continue to turn citizens into knights, Adrien transforms into Cat Noir. Darkblade and Cat Noir face off and begin to fight. Meanwhile, Sabrina arrives inside Marinette’s room and talks to Chloé on the phone, trying to find something to steal that they could use against Marinette. Sabrina spots Marinette's diary and tries to grab it, only to have the diary box close down on her hand. Meanwhile, Marinette arrives at City Hall and sees Jagged Stone and the launch party for Chloé’s campaign. Alya meets Marinette, revealing that she got Jagged Stone's autograph. This offends Marinette, but she eventually decides that this is all right as long as Alya still votes for her. Cat Noir continues fighting with Darkblade at the Pont des Arts but loses when his staff is thrown off the bridge. He hides under the bridge and manages to overhear Darkblade's plan to go after Mayor Bourgeois at City Hall.

Back at City Hall, Marinette explains to her classmates that Chloé is bribing them for their votes. Chloé arrives, pulls Marinette away from the crowd, and reveals to her that she and Sabrina have her diary, blackmailing her to end her campaign. This conversation is interrupted by Darkblade and his army, who storm the building but are blocked by Cat Noir. Jagged Stone mistakes the battle outside for excited fans, goes out to perform for them, and is confronted by Darkblade. Jagged Stone tries to persuade Darkblade that "violence is never the answer," and is promptly transformed into a knight. Panicking about Darkblade, several students ask Chloé for help. Chloé replies that she can’t help her classmates unless they vote for her and that she’ll announce a solution the following day. Marinette realizes that Cat Noir needs her help to defeat the knights, but also realizes that her classmates are depending on her to protect them. Tikki suggests that she trust her instincts, and so Marinette begins guiding her classmates in barricading the doors and defending City Hall, and tells the mayor they have to retreat. Once everyone is out of the way, she turns into Ladybug and rushes to help Cat Noir.

Outside, Cat Noir is surrounded by knights, but Ladybug rescues him with her yo-yo. As they work together to fight off the knights, Darkblade turns two cars into catapults and launches himself onto the roof. Cat Noir and Ladybug follow him and see that he is about to place his family flag on top of City Hall. Ladybug realizes that akuma must be in Darkblade’s sword, and tries to get the sword before he plants the flag, but she is too late. As Darkblade plants the flag, a dark cloud spreads over Paris and creates a gigantic cylinder of darkness that shrinks inwards, turning everyone it passes through into knights. Ladybug and Cat Noir realize that they have little time to spare before they too are transformed into knights. Ladybug uses Lucky Charm, which produces a small wind-up toy. Using her lucky vision, Ladybug tosses the toy under Darkblade’s shoulder, tickling him and causing him to drop his sword. Ladybug rushes in and snatches the sword, revealing the akuma and causing the cylinder of darkness to vanish. She catches the akuma and purifies it, tosses the toy into the sky, and cleanses the city, returning everyone back to normal. Ladybug finds her way back inside and detransforms. Tikki expresses her pride in Marinette for being both Ladybug and a student leader at the same time. While the students removed the posters and chairs from the door, Marinette makes it public that Chloé had stolen her diary. The students surround and question Chloé, who tries to deny all allegations against her, but her efforts are in vain as Sabrina shows the box locked around her hand and pleads that Marinette opens it. Chloé's inexcusable actions lead most of the students to believe that she's already lost the race to be the class representative.

However, Marinette explains to her classmates that she wants to be voted in fairly, and not just because she's an alternative to Chloé. She explains that she will not make any promises that she would be unable to keep, but asserts that she is resourceful and knows how to prioritize–and most importantly, that she believes in herself. The following morning, Marinette is elected as the new representative, with Alya as her deputy.

13- "Le Mime" ("The Mime")
Airdate: December 13, 2015

The episode begins with Ladybug rushing home before the last dot on her earrings disappears, and she transforms back into Marinette. By the time she lands on her balcony, she detransforms. As Marinette and Tikki walk into her room, Tikki comments that what Ladybug did for Alya earlier was very cool. They pause when they hear Sabine's voice from downstairs, telling Marinette that Alya has arrived.

Back on Marinette's roof, Alya explains what happened earlier, showing the video of Ladybug saving a child and giving a brief interview for the Ladyblog over the other reporters. Alya is very happy that Ladybug knows about her blog. In the background, Marinette's pigeon imitates Alya's movements. She then leaves to get her laptop. When Tikki asks to see the video on Alya's phone, the phone slips out of Marinette's hand, Marinette presses buttons while trying to catch it and accidentally deletes the video. Marinette freaks out over how Alya is going to kill her when she finds out. Tikki tries to reassure her that Alya wouldn't kill her best friend, but that doesn't prevent Marinette from imagining what despicable things would happen if she tells Alya.

Alya pops up to the roof, telling Marinette that she has visitors. They return to Marinette's room, finding Sabine, Mylène, and Fred Haprèle, Mylène's father. Mylène explains that her dad is getting his first major performance in The Mime's Extraordinary Adventures at the Eiffel Tower. The Haprèles came to pick up Fred's hat, which Marinette was fixing. She added a small pocket inside, per Fred's request. As a form of thanks, he mimes taking the hat out of a box, Marinette playing along. Fred puts a photo of his daughter in the pocket just as Sarah, his manager, calls and tells him that he needs to be on the bus for the show immediately. Fred then leaves the bakery.

Meanwhile, Chris and Sarah are about to board the bus for the show. Sarah tells Chris that he needs to be ready to take Fred's place in case something happens, unaware that Chris has a plan to sabotage Fred.

At the bakery, Mylène is about to leave when Alya's phone rings. Marinette has Alya's phone in the purse, trying to find a way to fix her problem. After checking her phone and realizing it's her mother, Alya asks Mylène if she wants to watch the video she recorded earlier, but Marinette quickly reminds them about Fred's premiere. Alya suggests that she'll show Mylène the video on the way, so Marinette sneakily snatches her phone out of Alya's purse when they leave.

Meanwhile, Fred gets a call from Chris that there's a "last-minute location change". The bus actually picks them up in 10 minutes, in front of the Louvre, so he leaves.

In Marinette's room, Marinette decides to transform into Ladybug and film herself doing the exact same thing at the exact same place, planning to then return Alya's phone without the latter realizing it was even gone.

While that happens, Chris tells Sarah that they have to get to the Eiffel Tower for dress rehearsal since Fred didn't show up. The play director explains that Chris will be taking Fred's place that night, much to the latter's pleasure. Fred arrives at the Museum and seems confused to where the bus is. He calls Sarah, and she angrily informs him that since he didn't show up, Chris will be the lead instead. Fred feels upset that he's been tricked and his daughter will be disappointed in him. Hawk Moth senses Fred's sadness and sends an akuma after him.

Back at the Louvre, Ladybug is trying to redo Alya's video, but a cat knocks the phone into the trash, much to Ladybug's disgust. Nearby, the akuma possesses Fred's photo of Mylène. Hawk Moth then offers Fred the chance to destroy the premiere performance and have his revenge on Chris, resulting in him being akumatized into the Mime. The Mime first cuts the posters for the show with his invisible sword, before he mimics a golf club to knock off a police car. Ladybug notices this and tries to calm him down, but the Mime fires invisible arrows towards her instead.

A couple miles away, Adrien is in his car with Nathalie and The Gorilla. Suddenly, the Gorilla sees Ladybug and hits the brakes. They knew that a supervillain is attacking them, so Adrien, Nathalie, and the Gorilla run off to hide. Adrien then turns into Cat Noir to help Ladybug.

Meanwhile, the Mime still throws arrows at Ladybug. Then he takes out an invisible bazooka. Ladybug avoids it. The Mime later mimics a whip and uses it to grab Ladybug. He's about to get her Miraculous, but Cat Noir arrives just in time to stop him. After he traps both Cat Noir and Ladybug in an invisible cage, Ladybug sees the Mime mime a car and rides away. She realizes that if he started another pantomime, the previous one would evaporate. So both Ladybug and Cat Noir follow the Mime and his invisible car.

Once they land on top of the roof, the Mime escapes and mimes an invisible motorcycle. As he drove away, Cat Noir uses his staff to carry himself and Ladybug to find the bus for the theater troupe. As soon as they landed on the roof of the bus, Ladybug uses her yo-yo to make a net so she can stop the Mime. He dodges the net and jumps on the bus. While Cat Noir and the Mime are sword/staff fighting, Ladybug tries to grab the Mime's hat to get the akuma. However, he notices and attacks her, and Cat Noir knocks the Mime off the bus. Ladybug grabs the Mime's hand. But before the Mime can grab her earrings, Cat Noir grabs Ladybug and pulls her up.

The Mime attacks her, but he falls off the car. He mimics a chainsaw to saw the ceiling of the car and tells the driver to drive faster. Ladybug knew that she has to get the passengers to safety. So while Cat Noir covers for her, Ladybug warns everyone in the bus about the attack and that the Mime seems to be after Chris. Outside, the Mime throws an arrow at one of the bus' wheels, making it go out of control, but Cat Noir stops the bus just in time before it crashes. Chris feels guilty about what he has done and tells Sarah the truth about what he did to Fred.

Outside, Cat Noir is about to lose the fight with the Mime. He is about to take the ring from Cat Noir, but Ladybug ties his hand with her yo-yo. The Mime then mimics a bomb and throws it at Ladybug and Cat Noir. So Ladybug uses Lucky Charm, and a shoe box appears. Using her lucky vision while Cat Noir and the Mime continue to fight, Ladybug makes a projector out of the box, Sarah's glasses as a magnifying glass, a Mime poster, and a car's light. The Mime sees the poster projection and gets angry. He mimics a sword and cuts the "poster" in half. But that's before he realizes that he had sliced the Eiffel Tower in half instead. He sees it's falling and mimics a shield to stop it. Ladybug knew that her plan has worked.

Once Cat Noir uses his staff to get the Mime's hat, Marinette grabs it and looks for the picture of Mylène. She tears the photo in half, revealing the akuma. Ladybug catches the akuma and purifies it. She then tosses the shoe box and cleanses the city, returning everything, including Fred, back to normal. Chris apologizes to Fred for tricking him earlier, and Fred forgives him.

Ladybug transforms back into Marinette, runs back to the Louvre, and grabs Alya's phone out of the trashcan. She then goes to the Eiffel Tower for the Mime show. After taking a seat next to her friend, Adrien joins them, much to Marinette's delight.

Once the show is over, Marinette finally confesses to Alya about what happened to her phone and the video. She apologizes for deleting the video and tries to fix it for her, and she forgives her because it turns out that Alya had uploaded the video on the Ladyblog before she showed it to Marinette.

After the two best friends hug, Marinette said to her that there's a surprise inside the theater. When Alya goes inside, she meets Ladybug and starts interviewing and recording her for her blog.

After the interview, Marinette quickly transforms back to herself and stands outside. When asked if she would see the interview video, Alya playfully teases her to not accidentally delete it until she uploads it to the blog.

14- "Kung Food"
Airdate: January 10, 2016

Marinette is at her home, waiting for her mother's uncle, Wang Cheng, to arrive. Wang is Chinese, so Marinette uses an app on her phone which helps her with the pronunciation. She has a bouquet of flowers for him but worries that it might not be good enough. It is revealed that Wang is a cook with a global reputation, and is in Paris for a cooking competition called "The World's Greatest Chef."

When Wang arrives, Marinette rushes to the door and tries to greet him in Chinese, but fails. She gives him the bouquet (from which he starts to pluck out the petals) while she uses the phone to translate the greeting for her. The phone does that, but also translates (and repeats) the "Ahh... That's so embarrassing!" that Marinette had said immediately after. Then, after Marinette manages to silence the phone and invites her uncle inside, she calls Alya to ask for help. Alya reassures her and says she has an idea, and then hangs up. A few minutes later, Adrien arrives at the door. Marinette, after an initial surprised reaction, asks him what he's doing there. Adrien explains that Alya called him and asked him to act as an interpreter since he knows Mandarin. Marinette asks where Alya is, and Alya promptly texts her saying that Marinette now owes her twenty thousand croissants.

Wang, Marinette, and Adrien then ride in Adrien's limousine to Le Grand Paris, where the competition will take place. While Adrien and Cheng Shifu are conversing in Chinese, Wang reveals that he knows a little bit of their language, but he's a very bad speaker.

Once they arrive, the Mayor warmly greets Wang and the TV host, Alec Cataldi, asks him which dish he will prepare: Wang answers, "Celestial Soup." After the interview, Wang begins to cook and leaves Adrien alone. Marinette uses the opportunity to apologize to him since the fact her uncle spoke their language meant that she didn't need an interpreter after all. Adrien accepts the apologies, and even thanks her for giving him the opportunity to practice his Chinese. Adrien also says that he's honored to have met Wang since he is a "shifu", which means "master."

Soon, Chloé shows up and starts criticizing Cheng Shifu's choice to make a soup instead of sushi like everyone else. Adrien replies that Cheng Shifu is Chinese and that sushi is a Japanese dish, but Chloé brushes him off. She then reveals that she is a member of the jury for the competition, and states that she will refuse to give a high vote for Wang's dish. So Marinette steps up, tells her she has no taste at all and that Cheng Shifu doesn't need her vote because all the other judges will love his dish. Angered, Chloé storms off. Adrien then compliments Marinette for defending her uncle, and says that he would have been proud if he had been there. However, Marinette answers that she's not so sure, and that she fears that her uncle might not like her as he even ruined the bouquet she prepared for him. Adrien reassures her, saying that Cheng Shifu told him that he would use the flowers for the soup, and that he is always happy when surprise ingredients come into his life. Adrien suggests that Wang showed Marinette his respect, in his own way.

Chloé, angry about Marinette's previous statements to her, storms into the kitchen where Wang is making his meal for the jury and tells him that Marinette is outside and wants to talk to him. Once Wang leaves the kitchen, Chloé mixes several random ingredients into the soup in order to ruin the flavor and get a negative response from the jury. Wang renters the kitchen and says that Marinette wasn't there, but Chloé brushes him off, saying that she "doesn't speak Japanese."

Next, the five jury members are introduced: André Bourgeois, Chloé herself, Jagged Stone, Mrs. Césaire, and Alec. When Wang presents the sabotaged dish to the judges during the live broadcast, they all react in disgust and give him scores that Alec says are the lowest scores ever seen on the show. Marinette apologizes to Wang for provoking Chloé and causing this, but Wang leaves, ashamed over his loss.

Hawk Moth senses Cheng Shifu's frustration and sends an akuma after him. Wang realizes that Marinette is right about Chloé, and the akuma possesses his chef hat. Hawk Moth offers Wang the chance to be the world's greatest chef and seek revenge on Chloé and transforms him into Kung Food. The judges who tasted his dish earlier become under his control, and he makes them capture Chloé. They then pour indestructible caramel over the entire building, trapping Adrien and Marinette inside.

Marinette realizes that Kung Food is actually Wang. Meanwhile, the brainwashed judges are making an enormous pot of soup in the rooftop pool, which Chloé is suspended above. Marinette and Adrien transformed into their respective superhero forms, encounter each other in the lobby, and run to the elevator so they can go to the roof, but a flying onion-shaped security camera is monitoring them, allowing Kung Food to see what they are doing. After asking Hawk Moth about the two superheroes, Kung Food decides to also cook both Ladybug and Cat Noir in the soup, and sends Jagged Stone to go capture them. Kung Food reveals to Chloé that she is going to be cooked in the soup as well.

Inside, Cat Noir has trouble opening the elevator doors. Kung Food appears in the monitor to reveal his plan. The elevator doors open and reveal Jagged Stone, who wields a sword made entirely out of seafood. Ladybug and Cat Noir easily defeat Jagged Stone by locking him in a closet and go up the elevator.

When Kung Food realized that the heroes defeated Jagged Stone, he sends André Bourgeois to fight them. By the time the elevator stops at a floor level, the Mayor appears in front of Ladybug and Cat Noir, wielding a string of sausages and potatoes. Before Ladybug and/or Cat Noir attack him, he attacks with the string and manages to restrain Cat Noir, but before he can grab Cat Noir's Miraculous, Ladybug tricks him into copying her yo-yo moves with his string, causing him to accidentally bring down a chandelier on top of himself. The fallen chandelier causes a hole in the ceiling, which Ladybug and Cat Noir use to ascend to the floor above.

Kung Food then orders both Alec and Mrs. Césaire to attack the heroes. The two of them meet the heroes, and attack, respectively, with a crossbow that shoots exploding stinky cheese rounds and a bow that shoots cake arrows. After winning the fight, Ladybug and Cat Noir use the elevator to go up to the roof and save Chloé from being boiled alive.

Angry that his soup is ruined, Kung Food begins to fight the heroes. Ladybug assumes the akuma is in Kung Food's chef hat and promptly uses Lucky Charm, which gives her a credit card machine. After mocking her for trying to defeat him with a piece of paper, Kung Food takes a giant sword made of pizza from his bag and resumes his fight with Cat Noir. After using her lucky vision, Ladybug soaks the paper from the machine in Kung Food's soup, and wraps the damp paper around him, trapping him. Cat Noir uses his Cataclysm on Kung Food's bag, and Ladybug grabs the chef hat and tears it apart, revealing the akuma. Ladybug catches the akuma and purifies it. She then tosses the check machine and cleanses the city, returning everything, including the judges and Cheng Shifu, back to normal.

Later, in the kitchen, Marinette asks Wang if he can teach her how to make Celestial Soup. Chloé then appears in the doorway and insults Wang for making the soup again. Irritated, Adrien asks her if her father had kicked her out of the jury for how she had sabotaged the soup. Chloé denies this, saying that she had resigned of her own accord. ) During another broadcast of The World's Greatest Chef, Wang makes the Celestial Soup again, getting very positive reactions from the judges. Wang tells the judges that he no longer calls it Celestial Soup, but rather Marinette Soup after his great-niece.

15- "Le Gamer" ("Gamer")
Airdate: January 17, 2016

Marinette is writing in her diary, discussing how Cat Noir almost discovered her identity in an attack earlier that day. Tikki stops her, reminding her about a presentation she has to do with Alya. Marinette grabs her phone, puts her diary away, and leaves her room, heading to the school.

She enters the school's courtyard, hearing a noise coming from the school's library. Marinette goes to investigate, finding Juleka, Alix, Mylène, Alya, Miss Bustier, Mr. Damocles, Rose, Kim, Nino, Nathaniel, and Ivan watching Max and Adrien play the game Ultimate Mecha Strike III. Adrien's character is NAD03, and Max's is MX-01. Since Marinette has no clue as to why they're playing a video game, Rose cuts in and explains it to her: there's a video game competition between schools. Kim says that the qualifying round happening in the library is to determine who is to be partnered with Max since Max has been practicing for months.

NAD03 defeats MX-01, making Adrien the number one player in the school and Max's partner. Everyone cheers, except for Max, although, instead of brooding for long, Max congratulates Adrien and looks forward to their partnership. Marinette thinks for a moment, realizing that whoever beats Max's score will become Adrien's partner. Alya pulls Marinette to the side, telling her not to try to beat Max and not to flirt with Adrien. Marinette ignores her, asking Mr. Damocles if she can participate. Mr. Damocles mentions that the library is closing in five minutes, but Marinette persists, sitting on a chair in front of the screen.

Adrien gives her his controller, which she promptly puts up against her face before lowering it hastily. Kim doesn't believe that Marinette can beat Max, but Alya responds that she's motivated to beat Adrien's high score. Max tries to explain the rules of the game, but Marinette cuts him off, explaining the rest of the rules. They shake hands after a brief flashback to Marinette destroying her father at the game while at their house. Chloé and Sabrina stand on the second story of the library, watching and wondering how someone could spend so long looking at a screen. They then pick up their phones and scroll through social media.

Alya records the match. To everyone's shock, Marinette defeats Max and becomes the 1st place winner. Max becomes disappointed because it was his dream to play the competition and he lost his spot, but tries to be a good sport and congratulates Marinette before he walks off, needing to be alone. Mr. Damocles congratulates Adrien and Marinette on being the team to go up against the competing schools. Adrien says that he will come over to see her level after school. She is unfazed by what he says and totally disregards Alya's warning.

Max, on the other hand, is angry over losing to Marinette. Hawk Moth senses this anger and sends an akuma out. The butterfly landing on his glasses, Hawk Moth greets Max as "The Gamer," promising to help Max win the tournament of his life so long as Max helps him in return. Max immediately agrees, transforming into The Gamer, surrounded by the walls of his real-life MX-01 mecha.

On their way home, Tikki asks Marinette why she wanted to participate in the tournament, pointing out that there are other ways to gain Adrien's attention and that her selfishness denied Max his spot in the tournament. Marinette cedes that she was wrong, but focuses on the fact that Adrien's coming over to her house. She then pauses and freaks out, realizing that Adrien will be in her room, her room full of pictures of him. She rushes home and realizes she has time before he gets there. Immediately as she says this, the doorbell downstairs has Marinette and Tikki rushing to get rid of the pictures.

Meanwhile, inside of his MX-01, the Gamer floats around the streets of Paris shooting at the pedestrians and cars. Each thing he shoots transforms into experience points.

At Marinette's house, Adrien stands at the foot of the stairs, speaking with Marinette's parents. He explains that he and Marinette are going to be participating in Ultimate Mecha Strike III tournament. Tom mentions that she trained with the best, but Sabine mentions that Marinette has never discussed an interest in the tournament. She then says that Marinette talks about Adrien quite often. Adrien is surprised by that tidbit but doesn't linger on it as Marinette steps out of her room to lead him upstairs. Both Tom and Sabine sigh contentedly as they watch them.

When Marinette and Adrien first get upstairs and sit down at Marinette's computer, they both end up reaching for the same controller and pulling back when their hands touched. It happens again making it awkward in the room. Adrien finally grabs one and Marinette the other. They start playing in silence for a while, occasionally taking short glances at each other.

Outside in the streets, The Gamer continues shooting pedestrians from inside his MX-01. Soon he gains enough experience points to transform the mecha from Level 1 to 2 and gains legs. The mecha now towers over the roads.

Back at Marinette’s place Marinette and Adrien are still playing the game. After just a few minutes of playing her dad brings croissants. Adrien, ready to eat one, can't get a word out when Marinette quickly shoos him away claiming they needed to practice for the competition.They continue playing as Marinette's parents both poke their heads up and she turns giving them a stern look turning around right when Adrien turns to see what's going on. A second Later her dad comes back offering cookies. Marinette shoos him away. They take a break and Adrien starts claiming she is way better than him.

Marinette tells him she has a secret. She shows him a bracelet, calling it her lucky charm, to his surprise. He takes it and just then her parents offer quiche Adrien tells Marinette it is okay to take a little break. They travel to the park. When they get there Marinette suggests they go back when done eating. Adrien says he'll try out the bracelet. Before they get a chance to leave the Gamer shows up and tries to come after her. Adrien knocks her out the way and they continue running. They are split by a bench and run their separate ways.

Adrien, knowing he is the one not being chased, goes and turns into Cat Noir to go rescue Marinette. He makes it right before she is hit and saves her. When he disappears she turns into Ladybug after being reminded by Tikki. She gets there just in time to stop him from shooting Cat Noir.

They run him to the Parc des Princes. where Cat Noir uses Cataclysm to destroy the Gamer's robot and they are rewarded with an energy orb. But the Gamer reveals that he had "saved the game" after reaching Level 3 allowing him to simply reload to recreate his mecha.

Cat Noir and Ladybug obtain a robot from the energy orb they won and have a fight. With neither side winning, Ladybug uses her Lucky Charm and gets a spray paint can. She sprays Gamer's window with paint, causing him to peek outside. She snatches his glasses and breaks them. She catches the akuma, changing it back into an average butterfly, and she uses the Miraculous Ladybug to turn everything back to normal.

At the competition, Marinette decides to give her controller to Max, considering the fact that she only wanted in for the time with Adrien. Adrien then gives his controller to Marinette, explaining that she is much better than him. In the end card, it shows they win the game.

16- "Animan"
Airdate: January 24, 2016

At the Collège Françoise Dupont courtyard, Marinette and Alya look through La Mode, a magazine Adrien models for. From a distance, Nino peeks at the girls. Adrien notices him eyeing Marinette and Nino admits to him that he has a huge crush on Marinette but is too shy to go talk to her. Adrien encourages him to ask Marinette out to the zoo to see the new panther exhibit. Nino begins to walk over to her but panics at the last minute and runs back to his best friend. Adrien smiles and assures his friend that he would be happy to help.

Later, Alya and Marinette are on their way home after school, still admiring the pictures of Adrien in the magazine. Distracted, Marinette accidentally bumps into Nino and drops the periodical from her hands. Stiff as a board, Nino does not move at all, prompting Adrien to come out from behind him and apologizes on Nino's behalf. Marinette giggles at the sight of Adrien but then realizes that her magazine--prominently featuring several pictures of Adrien--is in plain sight. Attempting to be a gentleman, Adrien also goes to pick it up, and they bump heads, cueing another apology from Adrien. Hoping to get Nino to open up, Adrien suggests that they do something together to make it up to them, but Nino remains frozen. Adrien ends up inviting the girl to the zoo at 4 that afternoon. In a trance, Marinette agrees, then shakes in her boots when Alya tells her that Adrien just asked her out. Believing that she is about to have her first date with Adrien, Marinette begs Alya for help. Across town, Nino has the same reaction when Adrien tells Nino that he and Marinette would be alone together in the zoo.

Marinette arrives at the zoo and takes a seat on a park bench. Using an earpiece and microphone, Alya intends to coach Marinette on what to say while Alya herself remains out of sight behind a tree. Marinette spots Max and Kim, who explain they came to see the new panther. Nino arrives shortly after, causing Marinette to question why Adrien is nowhere to be seen. Unbeknownst to her, Adrien is hiding in the bushes to coach Nino. Nino's nerves, however, still get the better of him and he winds up agreeing with her suggestion to wait for Adrien to arrive, much to Adrien's annoyance.

Elsewhere in the zoo, Kim and Max are looking at the new panther as she eats her meat. Max tells Kim how fast the panther can go. Unimpressed, he replies that could easily beat her. Otis Césaire, the zookeeper, grows aggravated by this comment and tells Kim not to bother the animal. Kim continues to taunt both the zookeeper and the panther by boasting about winning his school's championship. Max then points out that it would be much more likely for the panther to eat Kim than to race him, but Kim ignores the comment. Once again, Otis tells Kim to stop bothering the animal, but he remains persistent in mocking the "poor tomcat" and her "cranky nanny" as he and Max walk away.

Meanwhile, Nino and Marinette continue to awkwardly wait for Adrien. Marinette asks if he's really arriving. Coached by Adrien, Nino replies back, "Yes, he is coming, but before I wanted to spend some time with you, too." Quickly after responding, he cracks and then reveals that he has a crush on a girl but is afraid to tell her. Marinette assures him there is no need to worry. Nino begins to confess to Marinette but at the last second changes the girl to "your best friend Alya", prompting three loud "What!?"s from Adrien, Marinette, and Alya herself. Marinette, however, likes the idea and offers to help get the two of them together. Contrastingly, Alya, who views Nino as a friend, feels everything but happiness with this development.

From his lair, Hawk Moth senses Otis's annoyance with the overly competitive Kim and sends an akuma to the zookeeper's bracelet. He offers the man a chance to put Kim in his place. Once the zookeeper agrees, he transforms into Animan, a shapeshifting villain who sets out after the boy. Animan releases the entire menagerie and, in the form of a panther, corners Kim and Max. He tauntingly tells them that he will give them a head start in their race.

Over at the benches, Alya again objects to Marinette arranging a date for her and Nino. Marinette tells her that he will be devastated if she were to refuse. Before they could carry out any further, they spot Kim and Max running for their lives from the zoo animals, led by Animan. Marinette and Nino rush away, and once she is out of sight, Tikki scolds Marinette for not respecting Alya's wishes before transforming her into Ladybug. Elsewhere in the zoo, Plagg changes Adrien into Cat Noir. The heroes find Kim, cornered by Animan. They distract the panther long enough for Kim to flee, and Ladybug incapacitates him by tying him up in her yo-yo, but before they can take his bracelet, the animals he freed come to his aid and force them to retreat. The heroes split up, realizing that it would be too much of a hassle to get all of them back into their cages. Ladybug spots Nino and Alya running for their lives, so she locks them in the empty gorilla habitat for their own safety while the animals are loose in the streets of Paris.

The heroes return to where they left the panther, only to find no sign of him. This confuses Ladybug, knowing that her wire is impossible to break. They decide that for the time being, the best course of action would be to find Kim. They eventually spot the him, once again cornered by the panther atop a bridge. Cat Noir tells Kim to run, but not before planting a tracking device on him. Ladybug again ties Animan up in her yo-yo, but he simply turns himself into a bald eagle and flies off towards Kim. Cat Noir uses his tracking device to find Kim desperately begging for help from the owners of Tom & Sabine Boulangerie Patisserie. Recognizing that their foe probably has a good sense of smell, Ladybug asks to see Kim's sweatband. She places it on a railing and sprays herself and Cat Noir with a deodorant to hide their own scents. Sure enough, Animan--now in the form of a ladybug--flies to where the heroes placed the sweatband. Ladybug traps him in a tissue box, but he changes back into a panther and chases the heroes into an empty bus with the doors locked.

The duo struggles to fight him as he changes into a variety of animals, gradually getting slower each time. Ladybug figures that the transformations must be tiring him out. Cat Noir activates his Cataclysm to make the bus go haywire. The doors are wide enough to give the heroes a chance to escape, but not a tired grizzly bear. At first, it seems that he has successfully been worn out, but just as they are about to take the bracelet from the sleeping panther, he transforms into a Tyrannosaurus Rex. Ladybug summons her Lucky Charm, and, as usual, is confused by the object--this time, a car jack. She leaves it aside and realizes that her partner could use his cat-like agility to climb onto the dinosaur and distract him while she uses her yo-yo to tie him up for good.

With the Tyrannosaur defeated, Ladybug is confused as to why the Lucky Charm would provide her with something they did not need. However, when Cat goes over to retrieve the bracelet, he just narrowly avoids being chopped in half by Animan's massive teeth. Understanding at once, Ladybug charges at the T-Rex. Cat Noir is horrified as he watches the villain apparently swallow her whole. He prepares to attack but is relieved when he sees Ladybug, safe and sound, having used the car jack to open the dinosaur's mouth, retrieving the bracelet and cleansing the akuma.

Ladybug throws the car jack into the sky, which repairs all of the damage done by the fight, returns the animals to their cages in the zoo, and turns Otis back into himself. She prepares to bump fists with her partner, but he is too relieved that she is all right that he embraces her before realizing that his transformation is about to wear off.

From his lair, Hawk Moth vows that he will get Ladybug and Cat Noir someday. Ladybug turns back into Marinette, tiredly returning home and crashing onto her bed before receiving a call from Alya. Realizing that she left her two friends at the zoo, Marinette apologizes to Alya over the phone before catching up to her in front of the bakery storefront. The girls reconcile as Nino joins them, offering cookies. Nino comes clean to Marinette and admits that he used to have a crush on her before spending so much time with Alya. Funnily enough, while Alya and Nino were locked in the same cage all they realized that they had a great deal in common. Alya also admits that she told Nino that Marinette had feelings for another boy, but did not tell him who it was. She also adds that while she was helping Marinette at the zoo, Nino was being coached by Adrien. Nino offers to talk to the "mystery guy", but Alya keeps him in line. Marinette giggles and the end title card appears: Marinette imagining Alya and Nino smiling at each other in the gorilla habitat.

17- "Antibug"
Airdate: January 31, 2016

In Chloé's room, Chloé is going through her closet and complaining that she has nothing to wear. Hearing a noise, she goes to investigate and is attacked by her floating skin care bottles. The invisible force steals the shoes away from her and throws across the balcony into the Agreste mansion courtyard. Chloé futilely yells for them to come back.

At school, Chloé is and looks exhausted, almost falling asleep at her desk. Marinette and Alya notice this and wonder if it's because Chloé's friend, Sabrina, is missing, although Ms. Mendeleiev shushes them. Chloé's hair is then pulled, resulting in her shouting in pain and being reprimanded by Ms. Mendeleiev. Chloé tries to explain that something invisible is harassing her, but she isn't believed, the class laughing at her. Ms. Mendeleiev shushes the class.

The invisible presence grabs at Chloé's purse, trying to take it off her. Even with this occurring, Ms. Mendeleiev still does not believe Chloé. Chloé is thrown back from the invisible presence letting go of her purse only to hit her in the face repeatedly with said purse, resulting in Ms. Mendeleiev yelling at Chloé to sit in her seat. Chloé throws the purse away, cowering in the corner of the room. Both Marinette and Adrien watch, focused.

Juleka's pen is snatched from her fingers and is thrown at Chloé. Several more pens are thrown at Chloé, making her run down the steps. Ms. Mendeleiev yells at Chloé to stop running and return to her seat. Before she can do so, the invisible presence takes Chloé's sunglasses from her head, fighting with Chloé for them. The presence leads Chloé over to Miss Bustier's desk and abandons the sunglasses, instead tugging at Chloé's hair. The entire time, the class laughs at her. Chloé flees from the room, waving her hands in front of her to ward off the invisible presence. The invisible presence follows Chloé, moving Adrien's tablet in the process. The door closes behind it resoundingly.

Both Marinette and Adrien immediately ask if they can go to the bathroom. In the girls' bathroom, crude drawings of Chloé and multiple instances of Chloé's name being scratched out are present on the walls and stall doors. A set of pictures is then sent to everyone in the school depicting what has been happening to Chloé. Marinette, Tikki, and Adrien realize that something must be done to help her and the two of them transform into Ladybug and Cat Noir.

Outside Le Grand Paris, Mayor André Bourgeois is giving a press conference, saying that attacking his daughter is like attacking all of Paris. Ladybug and Cat Noir show up behind the mayor, saying they will help him. Back in Chloé's room, André announces that Ladybug and Cat Noir are there to help, prompting Chloé to rush out from behind one of her couches and tackle Ladybug in a hug, much to Ladybug's annoyance. Chloé then does not leave Ladybug alone the entire time she is in her room, taking several selfies with and pictures of Ladybug. André explains the situation to Ladybug while Cat Noir searches Chloé's room.

Ladybug turns on Chloé's television, turning the four sections of the screen to various areas in the hotel where the invisible presence could be hidden. These include three different angles of the hotel's foyer and Chloé's balcony. Ladybug asks Chloé if she's had any problems with anyone recently, which Chloé denies, saying everyone loves her. Ladybug picks up a picture off the ground and asks about the girl who is in it with Chloé, Sabrina. Chloé says it's impossible for Sabrina to hate Chloé; Sabrina "worships [her]. [She's] her idol." Ladybug sighs and tells the mayor to keep Chloé inside as the invisible presence can't go through walls and won't be able to attack Chloé. Ladybug and Cat Noir then leave, heading down to the hotel's entrance.

Downstairs, they ask the butler what he knows of Chloé and Sabrina, saying that it will remain between them. The butler tells Ladybug of a game that Chloé and Sabrina liked to play called "Ladybug and Cat Noir," where Chloé would dress up as Ladybug and Sabrina would dress up as Cat Noir. Two days previously, they were playing this game with the butler as the villain "Big Mustachio." Ladybug interrupts the butler's retelling to ask who Big Mustachio is, only to find out that it was Chloé's idea.

Continuing with his story, Big Mustachio hid in the lounge area of the hotel where Jagged Stone was being interviewed by Nadja Chamack. "Ladybug" and "Cat Noir" burst in the room, prompting the man at the bar and the people on the couches to turn their attention to them. Immediately, Chloé recognized Jagged Stone and approached him, sitting between him and Nadja.

Jagged Stone believed that Chloé was the actual Ladybug, prompting Chloé to lie between her teeth that she was there to meet Jagged. Noticing her hair was different, he asked what she did with it, her reply is that she needed a new hair style. The entire time, she was being filmed. She then took over Jagged Stone's interview, forcing Nadja to direct questions to her

Sabrina, however, found Big Mustachio and called Chloé by name. Jagged Stone and Nadja became angry at being deceived. Chloé protested, saying she was Ladybug. Her proof was her taking her yo-yo and bouncing it up and down, hitting Fang's head each time. Annoyed, Fang bit the yo-yo's string and ate it, the remaining string hitting Chloé in the face. Nadja and Jagged Stone laugh as Chloé ran off crying. Staring at Sabrina, Chloé ripped off her mask.

Sabrina and the butler followed Chloé to her room, Sabrina trying to apologize. Sabrina didn't know that Chloé was pretending to be the actual Ladybug apart from their game. Angry, Chloé said that Sabrina never knew anything and that even Fang was smarter than her. Chloé threw the yo-yo remains at Sabrina and told her she never wanted to see her again.

Chloé is watching the butler, Ladybug, and Cat Noir from the television in her room.

Sabrina came back the next day. Chloé ignored her the entire time, saying that she didn't know any Sabrina. Sabrina tried to get Chloé, her best friend, to turn around, even holding out the rose pin that Chloé gave her as a symbol of their friendship. The butler approached Chloé, asking her to speak to Sabrina since she's right there. Instead, Chloé said that she couldn't see anyone, that she must be invisible, because, in her eyes, Sabrina didn't exist. Crying, Sabrina closed the door and left.

Ladybug and Cat Noir come to the conclusion that the invisible presence is Sabrina and that she was akumatized. In her room, Chloé has determined that it's impossible for Sabrina to be akumatized, let alone attack her because Sabrina's too afraid of Chloé.

Downstairs, Ladybug thanks the butler for his help. He leaves. Spinning, Cat Noir grabs a flower and offers it to Ladybug who in turn places it in the vase next to her with several other roses. It won't be easy to find someone who can't be seen, so the two decide to wait for Sabrina to find them. Ladybug says that they have the advantage since Sabrina doesn't know that they're there, but Sabrina is behind them. As Ladybug and Cat Noir wander off, Sabrina picks up the flower and twirls it in her fingers. Her face lights up purple as Hawk Moth speaks to her, calling her "Vanisher." Hawk Moth commands her to bring him the Miraculouses, to which she responds by saying they won't see her coming.

Vanisher drops the flower, making enough noise for Cat Noir to turn back. Since he stopped walking, Ladybug turns to see what caught his attention. As Cat Noir begins to explain, the hair around Ladybug's left ear moves. Cat Noir jumps forward, bringing out his staff. He and Ladybug stand back to back, his staff and her yo-yo making circles for defense.

In her room, Chloé decides that if Sabrina is Vanisher, then she will be the one to defeat her. She opens her closet and presses a button on her remote, revealing a Ladybug costume complete with a wig, mask, earrings, and yo-yo.

Back in the lobby, Vanisher proceeds to throw chairs and vases at Ladybug and Cat Noir, the two heroes either dodging or breaking said objects. Ladybug summons her Lucky Charm, this time being a container of red glitter. When it lands in her hands, Chloé appears on the hotel's stairs, dressed as Ladybug and taunting Vanisher. Ladybug tells Chloé to move, prompting her to descend the stairs and tell Vanisher that if she stops, then she might become her best friend again.

Angry, Vanisher throws books at Chloé. She dodges it only because Ladybug tackled her to the ground and because Cat Noir used his staff to block any remaining books. Chloé continues to taunt Vanisher even when Ladybug moves Chloé out of the way. Vanisher runs up to Ladybug and grabs her while Cat Noir searches for Vanisher in the background. Trapped in Vanisher's arms, Ladybug opens the glitter, drops the container on her knee, and pops it into the air, the container turning so that it covers Vanisher in pink and red sparkles. Ladybug rolls, freeing herself.

Vanisher threatens that even though Ladybug can see her that doesn't mean she can defeat her. Cat Noir extends his staff in front of Vanisher, drawing her attention to him as he slides down it and away from Ladybug who is removing Chloé from the scene. Ladybug hides Chloé again and tells her not to move, returning to Cat Noir. Ladybug decides the akuma is in Sabrina's bag, to which Chloé protests. She comes out of hiding and swings her yo-yo, losing control as it breaks and knocks Vanisher in the head and drawing her attention.

Ladybug asks Cat Noir to deal with Vanisher while she deals with Chloé. Cat Noir traps Vanisher's arms while Ladybug lassos Chloé and spins her into an elevator destined to the penthouse. Chloé tells Ladybug that the akuma has to be in the brooch that Vanisher is wearing since it was a gift from Chloé. Annoyed, Ladybug tells Chloé that her being in the battlefield puts everyone in danger. Ladybug presses a button to a higher floor as Chloé protests.

Back in the battle, Vanisher throws pots at Cat Noir, trapping his head in one. While he struggles to get it off, Ladybug grabs Vanisher's bag and rips it open, spilling its contents on the floor. No akuma comes out. Angry and using Ladybug's confusion, Vanisher rushes at her. Ladybug blocks her arms. At the same time, she notices a rose glittering excessively on Vanisher's chest: the brooch. Ladybug pins Vanisher to the elevator doors, forcing the brooch to fall and allowing Ladybug to step on it. The akuma flutters out in the direction of Chloé's camera (she's watching from her room and is annoyed with Ladybug for not listening to her). Ladybug captures the akuma then uses Miraculous Ladybug, returning everything to normal.

In his lair, Hawk Moth growls at his window.

Sabrina returns to normal, cradling the brooch when she realizes she almost lost it. Ladybug smiles and holds out her fist for Cat Noir to bump, but instead, he asks why she didn't listen to Chloé, as she was only trying to help. Ladybug responds that it was Chloé who put them in danger and then lied; Ladybug doesn't listen to liars.

Watching in her room, Chloé is outraged by what Ladybug said. She was Ladybug's biggest fan, but since Ladybug called her a liar, she felt as if Ladybug didn't deserve her devotion. Throwing the television remote to the ground, the channel changes to TVi with Nadja Chamack. Ladybug, Cat Noir, and Sabrina leave the building. Before they can clear the entryway, they are attacked with a barrage of questions by reporters.

Chloé decides she doesn't want to hear any more of Ladybug. This prompts Hawk Moth to reopen his window and send out another akuma.

Chloé rips off her Ladybug mask and stomps on it. She then falls to her knees, crying. The akuma lands on Chloé's left earring, connecting her to Hawk Moth. He offers her an alliance to defeat Ladybug, which Chloé agrees to, transforming into Antibug.

During her interview, Ladybug realizes that she is going to detransform attempts to leave the scene only to be interrupted by Antibug. Antibug tells Ladybug that if it weren't for her, she wouldn't have defeated Vanisher, and now she was going to defeat Ladybug. Antibug's taunt makes the heroes recognize her as Chloé. Ladybug tells Cat Noir she is about to detransform and he tells her he can handle Antibug. Antibug teases Ladybug, saying that she's nothing without Cat Noir. Ladybug promises Antibug that they'll see each other again soon before dashing off and detransforming. Upon detransforming, Marinette quickly realizes that she has no food for Tikki. Marinette laments how the whole situation is her fault, but Tikki tells her otherwise. They both sneak off to The Palace to find Tikki something to eat. After grabbing some cookies for Tikki, Marinette rushes to find Cat Noir only to find him hanging from a pole hoisted by Antibug. Antibug taunts Cat Noir only for him to retort. Hawk Moth suggests using Cat Noir as bait. Antibug tries to convince Cat Noir to team up with her, but he refuses.

In the distance, Marinette wants to help but Tikki doesn't have enough energy. Tikki tells her that she can save Cat Noir as herself but Marinette is unconvinced claiming on Ladybug could. Tikki then tells her she is Ladybug and that Ladybug is within her. Marinette agrees that she needs to save Cat Noir and comes up with a plan. She uses her cellphone as bait and plays the interview from earlier to fool Antibug into thinking Ladybug is nearby. While Antibug is distracted Marinette saves Cat Noir by taking the pole and using it to pull him up. Once Antibug discovers she's been played, Cat Noir shows up and begins to attack Antibug. Tikki has also gained enough energy, allowing Marinette to transform into Ladybug once more. Ladybug finds Cat Noir as Antibug continues her attacks. Ladybug suggests that the akuma is in her yo-yo, while Cat Noir says it's her earrings, as she had them before her transformation.

Ladybug and Antibug both attack each other simultaneously. Ladybug summons her Lucky Charm while Antibug summons her Anti Charm. When Antibug ends up with a large weapon and Ladybug a bag of marbles, Antibug taunts her and proceeds to attack. Ladybug, searching around, realizes the purpose of the marbles when she looks at Cat Noir. She throws them at him, and he whacks them, releasing the marbles onto the ground and tripping Antibug. Fallen down and her sword taken by Cat Noir with his staff, Antibug complains that Ladybug is weak to rely on Cat Noir. Ladybug replies firmly that she and Cat Noir are a team. Cat Noir uses Cataclysm to trap Antibug into the glass floor beneath her, and Ladybug grabs her earrings. Destroying them, she de-evilizes the akuma and utilizes the Miraculous Ladybug to fix everything. Ladybug apologizes to Chloé about not taking her advice, which Chloé accepts and once more becomes Ladybug's biggest fan. Before departing, Ladybug suggests to Chloé that she make amends with Sabrina.

Back in class, Marinette is sitting with Alya as she watches Chloé sit down. Sabrina enters the room and stands still next to the seat until Chloé tells her to sit down. Sabrina gladly accepts, and while looking away from her, Chloé makes a small smile. Afterward, Chloé gives Sabrina a new brooch, much to Sabrina's joy and Chloé's secret contentment. Marinette comments that Chloé and Sabrina will always be best friends in their weird way, just like she and Alya. The end card is of Marinette and Alya being happy while Adrien, sitting in front of them, is amused.

18- "La Marionnettiste" ("The Puppeteer")
Airdate: February 7, 2016

Marinette is babysitting Manon in her bedroom, playing with plush dolls of Ladybug, Cat Noir, Lady Wifi, the Evillustrator, and Rogercop. Marinette tells Manon about how the villains came to get their powers, and what motivates them. They were ordinary people in Paris who, for one reason or another, became very upset. An even more powerful villain named Hawk Moth gave them superpowers on the condition that they give him what he wanted — the Ladybug Miraculous and Cat Miraculous, two magical pieces of jewelry belonging to the superheroes. Marinette explains that if this were to happen, the bad guys would win. However, the heroes always triumph, and when their game of imaginative play comes to the same conclusion, Manon asks to play as Ladybug and Cat Noir, but before they can, Manon's mother, Nadja Chamack, arrives to pick her daughter up. Ms. Chamack instructs Manon to return the doll, to the little girl's dismay. When her mother tries to take it back, the doll's arm rips. Marinette assures the Chamacks that she can fix it, and says good-bye to them. Just then, Ms. Chamack's phone rings. Her co-worker, Alec Cataldi, needs her help. While her mother is distracted, Manon returns to Marinette's room and again pleads for the doll. Unable to resist Manon's cuteness, Marinette lets her borrow the plush Lady Wifi. Nadja calls for Manon, telling her that they have to stop by KIDZ+ TV station. Tikki remarks that it is a good thing none of the villains are as cute and manipulative as little Manon.

Manon waits for her mother in the reception hall of the TV station, playing hero and villain with the toy Lady Wifi and a magazine cover picture of Ladybug. When Nadja notices her daughter playing with Marinette's doll, she believes her daughter took the doll without Marinette's permission and scolds her and punishes her for disobedience by taking the doll and directing her daughter to stay in place until she comes back from her errand. This angers Manon and catches the attention of Hawk Moth. Elsewhere in Paris, Marinette and Alya rush to the train station, ready to spend the afternoon at the bookstore and movies. The girls spy on Adrien boarding the train as well, and as per usual, Marinette is frozen in place. Alya has to drag her friend into the train. Marinette attempts to figure out a plan to talk to him but has little success. Hawk Moth sends an akuma after Manon, which lands on her toy fairy wand. Hawk Moth contacts Manon, calling her Puppeteer, and explains her powers to her that she can use Marinette's dolls to control their real-life counterparts, heroes, and villains alike. Recognizing him from the stories Marinette tells her, Manon sees her chance to be the winner of the game and agrees, and she is akumatized into the Puppeteer. Puppeteer begins by stealing back the Lady Wifi doll and using her powers on it.

On the train, Marinette, Adrien, and the rest of the passengers watch in horror as Alya is re-akumatized. The villainess then demands that Marinette gives her the dolls. Marinette notices that Lady Wifi is speaking less like herself, but more like a very young girl. Confused, Marinette tries to reason with her friend and tells her that she does not have them. This only prompts Lady Wifi to summon a fast-forward icon and ride it out of the subway station and to Marinette's house. Having seen the whole thing through the window, Adrien leaves the train and tells the conductor to investigate a cat that is loose on the tracks. Once he leaves, Plagg transforms Adrien to Cat Noir. Elsewhere in the station, Marinette and Tikki are about to do the same thing, but Cat Noir finds her first, asking for information. Marinette explains that Lady Wifi was acting like a young girl she babysat and had left to get a set of dolls the child wanted. Marinette gives Cat Noir her address, and once he has left, Tikki transforms the girl into Ladybug. The heroes find each other at the Dupain-Cheng house to catch Lady Wifi in the act of stealing the doll replicas of Ladybug, Cat Noir, the Evillustrator, and Rogercop. Recalling how they defeated Lady Wifi last time, Ladybug tells her partner to knock out the wifi signal while she fights Lady Wifi. Cat Noir uses his Cataclysm to destroy the antennas, but when Ladybug smashes open the signal-less phone, no akuma comes out. Lady Wifi retreats, but not without three of the dolls, with the exception of Ladybug. The heroine recounts this to her partner, and they realize that Manon must have been akumatized and is using the dolls to control Lady Wifi, and now has the means to control three more people, including Cat Noir. To make matters worse, Cat Noir's transformation is about to wear off, having already used his Cataclysm. He runs off to feed Plagg.

Ladybug arrives at KIDZ+, and asks Ms. Chamack about Manon. When she finds that her daughter is not in the waiting hall, Ladybug checks the security footage to find that the Puppeteer, Lady Wifi, and three plush dolls are on the soundstage. The heroine instructs the adults to evacuate, assuring Ms. Chamack that she will save her daughter.

Cat Noir returns and the heroes run to find the child villain before she can cause any more harm. However, they arrive to find that she has already summoned Nathaniel and Roger as their villain personas and promptly does the same to Cat Noir. Realizing that the akuma must be in the girl's toy wand, Ladybug attempts to retrieve it, but is outnumbered five to one. Forming a plan, Ladybug takes her cloth counterpart, and roll of duct tape, and flees to the roof.

Deciding to handle the puppet villains first, Ladybug shines a huge spotlight on their faces, temporarily blinding them. She uses the duct tape to tie the hands of Evillustrator and Rogercop, who rely on their hands. She then throws the Ladybug plush off the building so the Puppeteer will send Lady Wifi to fetch it from the Eiffel Tower. When she successfully does and hands it to her mistress, Ladybug counters by summoning her Lucky Charm. This time, it provides her with a power strip. While she ponders what to do with it, Rogercop and the Evillustrator escape, allowing the latter to erase her hiding spot. A fight ensues with Ladybug using the power strip as a second yo-yo to dodge Rogercop's handcuffs, Lady Wifi's pause icons, and the disks drawn by the Evillustrator. When Cat Noir advances with his staff, Ladybug ties his foot in her yo-yo and knocks him over. She proceeds to deflect the villains' attacks at the others and pauses the Puppeteer just as she is about to activate the Ladybug doll. She breaks the wand, cleanses the akuma, and throws the power strip into the sky, repairing all of the damage caused by the fight and changing Manon, Alya, Nathaniel, and Roger back into themselves. None of them have any memory of what they did as puppets, including Cat Noir. Once again, Hawk Moth is angry that the heroes have bested him, while Ms. Chamack is relieved to see that her daughter is all right. Ladybug dashes away. Later, at the Dupain-Cheng house, Marinette apologizes to the Chamacks for letting Manon take the doll without her mother's permission. Ms. Chamack understands and leaves her daughter under Marinette's supervision. Manon asks to play with Ladybug and Cat Noir, but Marinette instead suggests they go to the zoo instead and Manon agrees in the end.

19- "Reflekta"
Airdate: February 21, 2016

Ms. Mendeleiev's class is taking a class photograph in the courtyard of Collège Françoise Dupont. Waiting on the steps in the courtyard is Miss Bustier's class. Marinette is freaking out about how she's going to be in the picture with Adrien, since they're all in the same class and would be in the class photo together. Standing behind them are Rose and Juleka, overhearing Marinette's conversation with Alya. Juleka doubts that she will be in the photograph, given her history of things going wrong in photos. Rose tells her that Juleka isn't cursed, but Juleka doubts it. Ever since Juleka was a little girl, whenever someone tried to take a picture of her, something would get in the way. Rose and Marinette reassure her that this year will be different and that she will definitely be seen. Finished with Ms. Mendeleiev's class, Vincent begins adjusting his set for Miss Bustier's class using two rows of benches. Vincent makes the shorter people sit on the bench in front, those being Max, Alix, Rose, Marinette, and Mylène. For the back row, he picks Nathaniel, Alya, Sabrina, and Chloé to stand on benches. Chloé protests, stating that she must stand next to Adrien since they're the same height, using her hand to emphasize that their foreheads are at the same level. But he disagrees, prompting Chloé to bring up her father as a threat. Since Vincent has no idea who her father is, he shoots her down and waves her off, threatening to make her sit in the front row.

The rest of the students file in between the two rows, at least, all except for one. Marinette spots Juleka staying on the steps and makes Vincent halt in order to include her. He apologizes and tells Juleka that she can stand between Nino and Adrien. When she takes her place, Marinette comments that Juleka will be in the center of the photo, completely visible, and she'll destroy her "curse."

Vincent is about to take the picture but groans, finding he isn’t satisfied with the seating arrangement. He starts moving Ivan around, prompting Mr. Damocles to ask what is wrong. Chloé states that she is in the wrong spot, even after hearing him say that Ivan is throwing off the picture's harmony. She then goes as far as to try to push Juleka out of the way. Both Miss Bustier and Adrien scold her and Vincent continue moving students around. Chloé continues her protests, saying that she is too far away from Adrien, but she is shot down again by Mr. Damocles.

Right as Vincent clicks the shutter button on his camera, the battery flashes, dead. He leaves to go get a new battery, telling the students to stay in their places. Meanwhile, Juleka asks Miss Bustier if she can use the bathroom, receiving permission. Chloé tells Sabrina to make sure Juleka doesn't come back. Sabrina runs off to the bathroom, grabs a nearby chair, and props it under the door handle of the stall Juleka's in, trapping her inside. Sabrina returns just as the photographer puts a new battery in the camera. Chloé jumps down from the bench and stands next to Adrien, swinging an arm around him. Both Adrien and Marinette question Chloé about what she's doing there, but Vincent gains the class' attention again. Before Marinette can stop him, he takes the picture, the eyes of the students all on Chloé, except for Marinette, who is holding out an arm to stop the camera, and Adrien, whose face is directed at the camera lens by Chloé's hand. Vincent thanks them for their time, stating that the photo is perfect, to which Marinette protests that they need to take it again and tells Mr. Damocles about Juleka, whom he does not appear to realize is anyone, let alone a student at his school. When Marinette describes her, the rest of the class realizes she is missing and wonders where she is. Adrien states that she went to the bathroom. Seeing that if they manage to get Juleka back, she would lose her spot in the picture, Chloé redirects Mr. Damocles into thinking about lunch and the other classes left to photograph, resulting in Mr. Damocles refusing to retake the picture.

During the lunch break, Rose searches for Juleka, finding her trapped in the bathroom. Freed, the first thing Juleka asks about is the photo. Rose mentions that she missed it, but it was Chloé's fault. Juleka says that she was foolish to believe that she could ever be in a decent photograph, lamenting that she is invisible and that no one ever listens to her. Rose protests, but Juleka runs out of the school to the Park, sitting on a bench and started crying. Hawk Moth senses Juleka's sadness, and send an akuma after her.

At Collège Françoise Dupont, Rose explains to Marinette and Alya what happened. Marinette stands up, coming up with the idea to delete the picture so that Vincent will be forced to take another picture with Juleka in it. Sabrina and Chloé stand off to the side, overhearing their plan and vowing Marinette will not get away with it.

Back at the park, the akuma possesses Juleka's wrist mirror. Hawk Moth greets her as Reflekta, telling her that he'll make it so she'll be the only one that people see and will never be ignored again so long as she helps him in return. Juleka agrees and is akumatized.

Meanwhile, as Marinette sneaks inside Mr. Damocles' room to delete the photo and Sabrina and Chloé are searching for her, Reflekta goes back inside the school and starts turning everyone into identical physical copies of herself. Adrien quickly transforms himself into Cat Noir so he can stop Reflekta. Narrowly avoiding Reflekta's beam, he traps her in a basketball hoop. Cat Noir is about to use his Cataclysm on some lockers that are blocking the school's entrance. But before he can touch the lockers Reflekta changes him into her mirror image, which also leads to Cat Noir losing his Miraculous ring.

At the same time, Marinette gets herself caught on purpose by Sabrina and Chloé. But when Chloé shows her the video of her breaking into the office, Marinette gives her an ultimatum: give her Chloé's phone so she can delete the video or she'll erase the class photo instead. Knowing she’ll lose the picture of her and Adrien together, Chloé gives Marinette her phone. However, once the phone is in Marinette’s hands, Sabrina takes out the camera's memory card. Marinette then gives Chloé another ultimatum: give her the card or she'll keep her phone. Suddenly they hear Reflekta's voice calling Chloé's name, and Marinette grabs the card from her running off to hide.

When Chloé steps out of the office after Sabrina runs to get Marinette, Reflekta finally finds her and turns her into Reflekta's mirror image. Marinette sees everything and runs to hide in the library transforming herself into Ladybug. Ladybug realizes that Reflekta is Juleka, and she jumps in-between Chloé and Reflekta. Ladybug then flees when Reflekta is about to zap her into her mirror image. Cat Noir watches them and begins gathering up the transformed-students so they can help stop Reflekta.

Ladybug soon realizes that using her yo-yo is useless against the akumatized villain, however, before Reflekta can get Ladybug's earrings, Cat Noir and the transformed-students surround them. They're about to get Reflekta, but she escapes and runs off to turn more people into her mirror image. Cat Noir takes Ladybug away from the group to talk in private. While Ladybug makes fun of his looks, Cat Noir tells her that attacking Reflekta from the front isn't the best solution, unless Ladybug changes her look, which gives Ladybug an idea. Using her yo-yo, both she and Cat Noir head to the TVi studio.

While Reflekta turns many citizens of Paris into her mirror image, Ladybug is at the TVi studio, broadcasting to everyone that they need to wear a costume so she could tell which is the real Reflekta in order to stop her. While this is happening, Reflekta corners the Mayor in his office, and tells him that Ladybug is not coming to save him. Now knowing where Ladybug is, Reflekta heads for the TV studio. As "Reflekta" walks into the studio recording room, Ladybug uses her yo-yo and ties "her" up. Cat Noir quickly takes off "her" wrist mirror and tossed it to Ladybug so she can get the akuma, but after she smashes it, they find the akuma isn't in it. Both Cat Noir and Ladybug then realize that they have been tricked, and learn the imposter Reflekta is actually the Mayor.

The real Reflekta shows up and is about to zap Ladybug, but Cat Noir shields her taking the attack, however, the ray doesn’t affect him since he’s already been changed. Ladybug summons Lucky Charm, and a camera appears. Using her lucky vision, Ladybug tells Cat Noir to turn off the lights and she uses the camera's flashes to temporarily blind Reflekta in order to evade her blasts. She manages to grab Reflekta's wrist mirror and breaks it, revealing the akuma. Ladybug catches the akuma and purifies it. She then tosses the camera into the air and cleanses the city, returning everyone, including Juleka and Cat Noir, back to normal.

As Marinette go back to Collège Françoise Dupont, she tells Tikki that she has another idea to end Juleka's "curse". After returning Chloé's phone to her, as well as the memory card to Vincent, Marinette explains to him about Juleka not in the picture earlier and suggests taking another picture with her in it. When school's over, he once again takes the class picture, this time at the park. Chloé and Sabrina decide not to be in a "ridiculous" photo again, and Juleka thanks Marinette for ending her photo "curse" because she appeared in the center of every picture Vincent takes of her.

20- "Guitar Vilain"("Guitar Villain")
Airdate: February 28, 2016

In a room at Le Grand Paris, Jagged Stone is playing a new piece on his on electric guitar before being greeted by his agent Penny Rolling and his manager Bob Roth. Jagged Stone asks for Bob's opinion, to which he replies that it's not bad. However, in order to increase Jagged Stone's popularity, Bob suggests recording a duet with the new number one star, XY. Jagged Stone immediately refuses, resulting in an argument with his manager. Jagged Stone says that Penny agrees his music is the best, while Bob retorts that he requires Jagged Stone to be on top of the sales. Jagged Stone then angrily shoves back Bob's suggestion of an album cover design, proclaiming it's not "him." Bob tells him this look is the one that is gaining popularity and insists he uses it. Jagged Stone argues back, and, remembering the sunglasses he is wearing were made by a high school student, requests that Bob asks her to design the album cover.

Bob enters Tom & Sabine Boulangerie Patisserie and requests that Marinette creates the album cover. He hands her XY's album to show her the style he wants. Marinette comments how the style is not Jagged Stone's style, but Bob insists she uses it as it is popular. Marinette eventually accepts the offer and her parents proudly hug her. In her room, Marinette is sketching the album cover while listening to XY's music, which she clearly dislikes. After a while, Marinette turns off the music in distress and complains about her distaste for XY's music, questioning why Jagged Stone would change his style and lamenting on her design. Tikki asks why Marinette designed it like that in the first place, to which she says she did as she was told. Tikki tells her to follow her instincts, but Marinette declines, saying she has to stick to Mr. Roth's expectations before complaining about the pressure. Tikki answers that Marinette should be able to handle pressure.

Later, Marinette is before Jagged Stone, Penny, and Bob in Jagged Stone's room with her proposed cover. Disappointed, Jagged Stone tells her that he doesn't like it and it isn't his style. Marinette agrees before admitting it was Mr. Roth's request, but Jagged Stone requests she remakes the cover in his style. After some encouragement, she agrees and heads off to redo the album cover.

After the others are gone, Jagged Stone is watching an interview with XY on TVi. The new pop star acts arrogant and foolish, claiming all music is related to technology to program what people expect, angering Jagged Stone. To make matters worse, XY completely aggravates Jagged Stone by describing him to Nadja Chamack as old, out of date and worthless. Furious, Jagged Stone throws his iPad into Fang's mouth and starts aggressively playing his guitar.

Hawk Moth senses Jagged Stone's frustration and sends an akuma after him and it possesses his guitar. Hawk Moth offers Jagged the chance to be the greatest artist of all time and seek revenge on XY, and akumatizes him into Guitar Villain, also akumatizing Fang into a dragon.

As Marinette thinks of an idea for the album cover, she meets Adrien outside. Before she says Adrien's name correctly, Chloé shoves her aside and tells him that she organized a meeting with Jagged Stone for him. As they walk inside the hotel, Marinette realized that Adrien is a fan of Jagged Stone and decides to make the cover, this time with her own style.

Inside the lobby, Chloé and Adrien encountered Guitar Villain and his dragon. Guitar Villain shoots purple energy waves from his guitar and causes two nearby people in the lobby to dance uncontrollably. Once the elevator doors behind Adrien and Chloé open he puts her in there. Once the doors close, Adrien then transforms himself into Cat Noir so he can stop Guitar Villain.

After Guitar Villain made several citizens—including several pigeons and cars—dance uncontrollably, Cat Noir arrives. Guitar Villain started to fight him, using his orange energy wave he called "Shocking Riff". Marinette had seen the commotion and she quickly transformed herself into Ladybug. She arrived just in time to save Cat Noir from being burned into ash by Dragon Fang.

Then Dragon Fang flies away with Guitar Villain to the Eiffel Tower to start his revenge on XY. Once Guitar Villain gets to the Eiffel Tower, he punches what he believes to be XY, only to realize that he is actually a hologram. Guitar Villain then angrily asks Théo Barbot where the real XY is. After he first refused to answer and Guitar Villain destroyed the set around him with his "Awesome Solo", Théo immediately tells him that XY is at the TVi studio. After Ladybug and Cat Noir follow and save Théo from dancing uncontrollably, Guitar Villain commanded Dragon Fang to go to the Studio.

However, Ladybug immediately phones Nadja Chamack and warns her and everyone else in the studio that XY is in danger. By the time Guitar Villain gets into the studio and the recording room, XY has escaped with Alec. But Guitar Villain and Dragon Fang had taken XY to the Eiffel Tower, the moment Cat Noir and Ladybug tries to get him to safety. So they quickly follow them to the Eiffel Tower when night falls.

At XY's concert, Guitar Villain has tied-up XY and is about to make him walk the plank on top of the Eiffel Tower. While Ladybug and Cat Noir are climbing up the Tower, he plays his guitar and green energy waves he calls "Ultimate Solo" start to cause tremendous earthquakes around him. Once Guitar Villain stops playing, Ladybug uses her yo-yo as a grappling hook so she can pull herself and Cat Noir up faster. But Dragon Fang appears and pulls the string away, causing Cat Noir and Ladybug to fall. As Cat Noir uses his staff to prevent his fall, Ladybug tosses her yo-yo to Dragon Fang's mouth, carrying her to the sky. Ladybug manages to tame Dragon Fang and help save Cat Noir from falling, much to the latter's surprise.

Ladybug and Cat Noir are about to save XY, but Guitar Villain summons purple energy waves after them. Assuming that the akuma is inside the guitar and that it's too hard to get it, Ladybug makes Dragon Fang go under the top platform, and she and Cat Noir start climbing the Eiffel Tower again. At the same time, XY is about to fall because the plank under him is about to break.

Ladybug uses Lucky Charm, and a can of extreme hold hairspray appears. Using her lucky vision, Ladybug asks Cat Noir to distract Guitar Villain while she climbs above them. Cat Noir is about to use his Cataclysm as a shield against Guitar Villain's "Shocking Riff", but fails. Luckily, Ladybug uses the hairspray to stiffen Guitar Villain's hair in front of his face, preventing him from being able to play his guitar. But before she destroys the guitar, Ladybug quickly saves XY from falling with her yo-yo. This ends up making him land on the guitar and he breaks it, revealing the akuma. Ladybug catches the akuma and purifies it. She then tosses the hairspray and cleanses the city, returning everything, including Jagged Stone and Fang, back to normal.

The next day, Marinette finally finishes the album cover for Jagged Stone. The latter is so impressed that he decides to use her drawing for his next album, much to Marinette's delight. Later, Nadja Chamack announces that Jagged Stone's new album became the number 1 of sales, overthrowing XY on the ranking.

At Collège Françoise Dupont, Adrien asks Marinette if she would sign an autograph for him. After she does, Chloé watches Adrien leave and starts chewing on a magazine of Jagged Stone out of jealousy. Marinette now declares to Alya that it's the best day of her entire life.

21- "Numéric" ("Pixelator")
Airdate: March 13, 2016

Caline Bustier talks to some students about how they will be able to try some of the jobs in Le Grand Paris. As André Bourgeois looks through this list of jobs for people, Miss Bustier finds that Marinette and Alya aren't on the list. Alya whispers to Marinette that she thinks who knows who helped the mayor pick out the jobs while staring at Chloé. Marinette is upset that Chloé gets to spend the whole day with Adrien and declares that today will be the worst day ever. Chloé then calls out for her father and gives him a sheet with the jobs for Alya and Marinette. Alya ends up having to sort trash in the principle dumpster. Before Mr. Bourgeois gets the chance to tell Marinette her job, Jagged Stone bursts in with his assistant, Penny Rolling, and his pet crocodile, Fang, asking for a luxury suite room. At first, Mr. Bourgeois doesn't want to let Jagged inside, but after Chloé tells her dad who he is, André welcomes him into his hotel. Meanwhile, a fan of Jagged sneaks into the hotel and hides behind a desk. The fan, revealed as Vincent Aza, tries to sneak a few photos of Jagged but is caught by Fang. Vincent asks Jagged for a few photos since they are friends, but Jagged tells Vincent they aren't friends. Penny scolds him and throws him out of the hotel, warning him to stay away from Jagged and threatening to take away his camera if he ever comes near Jagged again.

Vincent becomes frustrated by this, and as a result, he is akumatized into Pixelator by Hawk Moth.

After this, Mr. Bourgeois tells Marinette that she is the gopher. Alya wonders what that is, and Marinette guesses that it's as bad as trash duty. In Jagged Stone's room, Penny tells André and Marinette that Jagged wants a pair of red, white, and blue sunglasses with Eiffel Towers on them. André tells Marinette to get the special glasses for Jagged since she is the gopher, which he explains is someone who finds anything a guest asks for.

Marinette runs out of Le Grand Paris to the Eiffel Tower and buys a pair of sunglasses. Tikki tells Marinette that the glasses she bought aren't even close to what Jagged Stone wants and she should just do the job right the first time. Before Marinette can reply, a lady passing by with her child sees Tikki inside of Marinette's bag and freaks out. As a cover, Tikki meows, pretending to be a cat.

Marinette gives Jagged the glasses, but Jagged doesn't like them. Marinette tries to explain that she couldn't find the glasses he requested, but Jagged doesn't care and kicks her out, demanding her to find the glasses he wants. Marinette sighs, upset that she now has to spend more time away from Adrien. Tikki reminds Marinette of her earlier advice, and Marinette decides to take it this time. She gets an idea to make the glasses herself and rushes back to her place.

Pixelator walks then in and Chloé attempts to kick him out, stating that her father only allows the biggest celebrities to stay in his hotel, such as herself, however, Pixelator then asks to photograph her, which she allows. Adrien, realizing that Pixelator has been akumatized, attempts to push Chloé out of the way, only to be pixelated and transported into a photo with Chloé. In the photo, Adrien tries to find a way out, while Chloé tries manipulate their time alone to "bond" with him.

When Marinette gets back to the hotel, she notes that Adrien and Chloé are missing., although Tikki reminds her that she has more important things to do. Marinette tries to give Jagged Stone the glasses, but he is busy washing Fang, so Penny takes care of it. As Marinette walks out, Pixelator walks in and pixelates Penny. Marinette notices this, and transforms into Ladybug. Just before Jagged Stone is pixelated, Ladybug saves him, but she gets her right arm pixelated in the process. Marinette carries Jagged Stone out of the hotel to Mr. Damocles' office. She tells Jagged Stone to stay in the office while she goes to capture Pixelator's akuma.

In the photo, Chloé is trying to yell for her dad, while Adrien tries to get away from Chloé. However, Fang, who was pixelated is nearby, and Chloé, terrified by it, clings on to Adrien.

As Ladybug is inspecting Vincent's room, she finds a bunch of photos on the wall, the photos having all of Pixelator's victims inside.

Pixelator captures multiple Parisians into photos. Nadja Chamack asks the Pixelator a few questions. Jagged Stone, who is watching, decides to go to Pixelator, and give him what he wants. Ladybug eventually shows up, although, with her right hand gone, she finds it hard to fight and use her yo-yo. She then slips and is cornered against a car by Pixelator. She makes a compromise with him about him freeing half the people, in exchange for a private photo shoot with Jagged Stone. He agrees, even though Hawk Moth warns him not to.

After he frees half the people, Adrien transforms into Cat Noir and sneaks up on Pixelator. But, just when he was going to take off Pixelator's glasses, a person yells out his name and gets caught. He then gets sent back into the pixel world and Ladybug gets her right leg pixelated. Next Jagged Stone pops up and agrees for Pixelator to take his photo. He can't seem to find the right pose until he gets just the right one. Just as he is about to take the photo, Ladybug uses Lucky Charm, giving her a handheld mirror.

Cat Noir uses Cataclysm to break the photos and free everyone else, including himself. He gets back to the real world, and he helps Ladybug with her Lucky Charm by hitting the mirror in front of Pixelator, just as he takes the photo. The photo beam bounces off of the mirror and shoots Pixelator, causing everything except his camera to disappear.

Before breaking the item with the akuma inside, she uses Miraculous Ladybug to get her limbs back, then she breaks the item the akuma was inhabiting and captures it. Pixelator turns back into Vincent Aza.

Later, at Le Grand Paris, Ms. Bustier thanks, Mr. Bourgeois for the enterprise day. As she was finishing thanking him, Jagged Stone's assistant gives Marinette, Alya, Adrien, and Nino tickets to Jagged Stone's concert.

At the concert. Adrien states that it is his first time at a concert and that it's awesome. Marinette agrees, and Jagged Stone dedicates a song on the piano to Ladybug.

22- "Princesse Fragrance" ("Princess Fragrance")
Airdate: March 20, 2016

The episode begins with the TVi news report about Ladybug and Cat Noir, who have saved Paris once again by defeating a kid named Jean Duparc, who was akumatized into the Magician of Misfortune and wanted to make the Eiffel Tower disappear in a puff of smoke. After Ladybug transforms back into her civilian form, Marinette notices that Tikki is sick. Tikki asks her if she could take her to a doctor, but Marinette thinks that it isn’t a good idea to find a doctor for a kwami. Tikki claims that she knows a healer that can help her, but Marinette is afraid that he might get suspicious. Marinette then remembers that she’s late for school, so she tells Tikki that she’ll take her to the healer once the class is over.

At Ms. Mendeleiev’s classroom, Rose watches a news report on her phone about Prince Ali, crowned prince of the Achu Kingdom, who is having an official visit to Paris to organize a toy drive for the kids in the city’s hospital. Smitten, Rose decides to write him a letter to show how much she loves and respects him. Marinette arrives to class just when Rose is about to write the letter. Rose sprays her letter with her perfume, and is noticed by the professor: annoyed that Rose didn’t pay attention in class, Ms. Mendeleiev makes her go to Mr. Damocles’ office. Once Rose is gone, Ms. Mendeleiev demonstrates to the class how Rose’s perfume is flammable.

When class is over, Adrien finally shows up outside of school. Alya suggests that maybe Marinette should give him her notes so he can be up to date on what they’re working on in class. However, Marinette remembers the promise she made to Tikki, so she tries to think of an excuse. Alya, though, doesn't believe her and forces her to walk up to Adrien. Unfortunately, Marinette trips on a backpack, causing her to launch Tikki into the air while Adrien manages to catch Marinette before she falls.

When he and Nino leave, Marinette opens her purse to see if Tikki is still in there. When she notices that it is missing, she gasps and starts to look around to see where her kwami is. Next to her, Sabrina and Chloé are on their way to the latter's limousine when they stumble upon Tikki on the ground. Chloé mistakes her for a toy and decides to give “it” to Prince Ali during his visit to Le Grand Paris later that day. Before Chloé steps inside the limo, Rose arrives to ask her if she could deliver her letter to the prince. However, she makes fun of her and her letter and tears it to pieces. While the heartbroken Rose tries to gather the pieces of her letter, Marinette notices Tikki in Chloé’s hand. Panicked, Marinette tries to tell Chloé that the “toy” actually belongs to her, but Chloé refuses to give "it" back, and the limo drives away from the school.

At the same time, Rose is heartbroken that she doesn't have a letter to give to Prince Ali, so she goes sitting on a bench near the Seine to write a second letter to him, crying. Hawk Moth then sends an akuma after Rose, and it lands in her perfume bottle. Rose sees her chance to be with the prince and agrees, so she is akumatized into Princess Fragrance.

Outside of the Le Grand Paris, Marinette tries to get past the hotel doorman so she could enter the hotel to get Tikki back, claiming that she is Chloé's friend. He doesn’t let her in, though, due to the fact that Chloé doesn’t have any friends. As Marinette walks away, she finds a motorcycle helmet, cape, and an old pizza box in the trash. Pretending to be a pizza delivery girl, she manages to get past the doorman and into the hotel. Taking the elevator to the floor of the Imperial suite, Marinette spots Chloé holding Tikki near the second elevator of the floor. When the elevator doors open and Chloé steps in, Marinette quickly runs to tell her about the “toy” she’s holding. But Chloé, disgusted by the prospect of having pizza, rapidly pushes one of the buttons when she sees her, so the doors close. So, Marinette has to run up the stairwell to follow her upstairs.

While that is happening, Princess Fragrance arrives at the hotel. She asks the doorman if she can come in to see the prince. But after he refuses, Princess Fragrance brings out of her perfume gun and sprays him. The pink spray brainwashes the doorman into serving her, allowing Princess Fragrance stepping inside the hotel to see “her” prince.

Meanwhile, the TVi news report is currently broadcasting Prince Ali being greeted by the Mayor of Paris on the top floor of the Le Grand Paris. The Mayor explains to the prince that he has organized some fireworks on the La Scene in front of the hotel when he arrives and that it’ll be launch from a boat. Then, Chloé arrives, and the Mayor introduces her to the prince. After a handshake, Chloé gives him the “toy” she found earlier outside of school. While the paparazzi are taking photos of Prince Ali, Marinette sneaks behind them and spies on them. The prince puts Tikki into his front jacket pocket. While Nadja Chamack is interviewing the prince, no one noticed Princess Fragrance coming out from the service elevator. The akumatized villain uses her perfume gun and fires a green spray onto Chloé, releasing a disgusting smell.

While Prince Ali, his chaperone, the Mayor, and Nadja’s backs are turned to Chloé, they hear a blast. They turn and see the now-brainwashed paparazzi bowing down for Princess Fragrance. The akumatized villain introduces herself to the prince and says that he’ll belong to her once she sprays him from her perfume gun. Now without Tikki to transform into Ladybug, Marinette have to save both Prince Ali and the kwami from the akumatized villain. She activates a button from a synthesizer to launch the confetti to prevent Princess Fragrance from shooting the Prince. Adrien is surprised when he watches the live broadcast of it in his room. He tells Plagg that the prince is currently in danger, and he then transforms into Cat Noir.

Marinette follows Prince Ali, his chaperone, the Mayor, and Chloé when they escape into the stairwell to run from Princess Fragrance. They hide inside a hotel room, in which the Mayor claims that they’ll be safe from her by the reinforced door. After Chloé feels annoyed about both Prince Ali and his chaperone being disgusted by her smell, she noticed that Princess Fragrance had sprayed perfume under the doorway. Luckily, Marinette vacuums the spray before it brainwashes the prince. But the akumatized villain points her gun downwards and continually shoots perfume to propels herself, and she lands on the vacuum cord, unplugging it. But before she sprays Marinette, the Mayor gets out of the room and runs off, along with Prince Ali, his chaperone, and Chloé. Princess Fragrance then spins around to spray her perfume around herself to create a fog.

Fortunately, Marinette escapes by the dumbwaiter; but the Mayor doesn’t escape from the fog. He gets caught in the fog after he opens the stairwell door for the prince, his chaperone, and Chloé. Once Marinette gets into the kitchen, she peeks through the door and sees that the Mayor had been brainwashed too. Princess Fragrance arrives by elevator and is about to spray Prince Ali, but Cat Noir barges in just in time. After a quick battle between Cat Noir and Princess Fragrance, Cat Noir makes the prince, his chaperone, and Chloé evacuate by sliding down his staff outside the hotel. Once they get inside Prince Ali’s chaperone’s car they drive away, Princess Fragrance uses her perfume gun like a rocket to follow the automobile. Marinette follows them.

After opening the windows to get rid of the smell from Chloé, Princess Fragrance arrives on top of the car roof. But before the chaperone can close all the windows, the villain sprays everyone in the car. After riding a scooter to follow the car, Marinette rush over to see if Tikki is inside. Luckily, Tikki had escaped from Prince Ali’s pocket and onto the car’s floor. Marinette apologizes to Tikki for not taking her to the healer and runs off to find him. After a visit to Master Fu’s house, Tikki informs Marinette about where Princess Fragrance and the others are. So, Marinette transforms into Ladybug and goes to the Pont des Arts.

At the Pont des Arts, Princess Fragrance is thrilled to wed the now brainwashed Prince Ali. But before she can place a love lock on the bridge Ladybug uses her yo-yo to knock it into the lake. Under Hawk Moth’s command, Princess Fragrance sends her brainwashed servants, including Cat Noir, to retrieve Ladybug’s earrings; she also takes Prince Ali away from the fight. On the Le Grand Paris roof, Princess Fragrance decides to make Paris their kingdom for them to rule and starts spraying the sky. When Ladybug realizes that everyone in Paris is going to become Princess Fragrance’s slaves, she remembers from her chemistry class earlier Ms. Mendeleiev's warning about the flammability of Rose's perfume; and she happens to see the boat the Mayor mentioned earlier that’s full of fireworks.

By tricking Cat Noir into using his staff to push her into the lake, Ladybug lands on top of the boat. She pulls the staff to launch him onto the boat with her. Cat Noir uses his Cataclysm to stop Ladybug from escaping. He’s about to strike her, but she trips him, and he ends up using it on the fireworks' control panel, releasing the fireworks into the sky. After pulling Cat Noir’s tail and dropping him into the lake, Ladybug uses her yo-yo to escape from the boat.

The fireworks explode into Princess Fragrance’s fog of perfume, causing it to vanish into thin air. Upset that her plan failed, Princess Fragrance suggests that she and the Prince should run away from Paris. But Ladybug interrupts her, making the akumatized villain burst into anger and decide to destroy her for ruining her dream. Ladybug uses Lucky Charm, and a balloon appears. Using her lucky vision, she grabs a straw and puts the balloon through it. Before Princess Fragrance can spray her, Ladybug tosses the straw with the balloon in the mouth of the perfume gun; causing the balloon to inflate. Ladybug then uses her yo-yo to grab the perfume gun and breaks it, revealing the akuma. She catches the akuma and purifies it. Ladybug then tosses the balloon and cleanses the city, returning everything, including Rose, back to normal.

After Rose detransforms, she is delighted to see Prince Ali in front of her. Ladybug decides to leave the prince alone with his biggest fan. Rose confesses to Prince Ali that he’s one of the kindest people she ever met. But then Chloé arrives interrupting them, declaring that she is happy that the Prince is alright. The Prince rejects Chloé's offer for starting where they left off before the villain’s attack because he has to go to the kids’ hospital with his new friend, Rose. Chloé is left infuriated, while Rose and Prince Ali go to watch the fireworks at the Pont des Arts.

23- "Jackady" ("Simon Says")
Airdate: March 27, 2016

The episode begins with a live broadcast of a KIDZ+ competition show called The Challenge at the TVi Studio. Nino is the next candidate, his challenge is to make the mayor, André Bourgeois, dance.

At the bakery, Marinette learns that she is being grounded by her parents because of how often she is absent from school. Marinette tries to explain to her parents that Nino is counting on her to support him during The Challenge, but her father says that, as long as her unjustified absences continue, she will stay at home. So Marinette accepts her punishment and walks up to her room. Tikki tells Marinette that it's not her parents' fault since they don't know that she's missing class to save the world. Marinette finds it unfair, and Tikki agrees, but she reminds her that if Nino wins, she can go see him at the show next week. Marinette turns on her computer and watches Nino try to complete his challenge. Hawk Moth, in his lair, finds the concept of The Challenge to be interesting, as the TV show has the potential to cause negative emotions.

Marinette tells Alya about her parents grounding her, and Alya agrees with them, much to Marinette's surprise. Alya tells Marinette that she's always showing up late and mysteriously disappearing, and claims that she'd almost suspect her of living a double life. Marinette jokingly tells Alya to give her a break.

Nino is successful in making the mayor dance, while Adrien watches him in support, and Alec calls up the next contestant, a hypnotist named Simon Grimault. Alec tells Simon that his challenge is to hypnotize Gabriel Agreste and to make him come to the studio. But when Gabriel refuses to participate, Simon is automatically disqualified. Hawk Moth senses Simon's frustration over not even getting the chance to perform, so he sends a akuma after him.

The akuma possesses Simon's deck of hypnotic cards, and Hawk Moth offers Simon powers that'll make him a powerful hypnotist, and so he is akumatized into Simon Says. Using his cards, he hypnotizes Alec and Adrien's bodyguard, who both become his servants.

Marinette is still watching the show and sees these events unfold. Tikki instructs Marinette to put her pillow under her sheet so her parents would think she is sleeping. Marinette transforms into Ladybug and heads for the studio.

At the studio, Adrien transforms into Cat Noir. Simon Says announces that since Gabriel turned down his challenge, he would make him pay by having him entertain the viewers in the TV studio by midnight, much to Cat Noir's shock. Hawk Moth hears Simon Says' announcement and says to himself that although it's risky, this has given him an idea.

Cat Noir then jumps on top of Simon Says and demands that he give him his cards. Simon Says sends Adrien's bodyguard to fight Cat Noir. While the two are fighting, Simon Says uses his powers to enslave people in the building and sends them to find Gabriel Agreste. Ladybug arrives at the studio and finds Nino hiding in the recording room. Nino explains that Adrien is somewhere in the studio, so they both start searching for him.

After throwing his bodyguard into an elevator, Cat Noir uses his Cataclysm on the elevator's control panel, causing it to drop down the shaft. Cat Noir then meets Ladybug and Nino, and they conclude that Simon Says is going after Gabriel. Cat Noir tells them they have to get to the Agreste mansion before Simon Says can, but he realizes that he is about to detransform. Ladybug tells Cat Noir that she will look for Nino’s friend, but Cat Noir tells her to forget it since he has probably been hypnotized. Nino tells Cat Noir that Adrien is his buddy, so Cat Noir agrees to let them look for him and he tells them to meet him at Gabriel Agreste's mansion later on. After Cat Noir runs off and detransforms, he meets up with Ladybug and Nino, and they all head for the mansion.

At the mansion, Gabriel refuses to listen when Adrien tries to warn him about Simon Says and sends Adrien and Nino to Adrien's room with Nathalie. Gabriel then apologizes to Ladybug about Adrien's behavior, stating that he is just like his mother. When Ladybug tries to warn Gabriel about how dangerous Simon Says is, he replies by saying that he trusts her to protect him.

Once Adrien gets to his room with Nino, he tells Nino that he needs to take a shower. While in the bathroom, he transforms into Cat Noir. Meanwhile, Ladybug is admiring Gabriel's pictures of Adrien and agrees with Gabriel when he says that Adrien is perfect. Gabriel takes a strange interest in Ladybug's earrings and reaches out to take a closer look at them, but before he can, Ladybug gets a call from Cat Noir, who tells her that Simon Says is coming. Cat Noir meets Ladybug and Gabriel in Gabriel's office and warns them that Simon Says and his army have arrived, and tells Gabriel to activate the mansion's defense system. After doing so, Gabriel asks Cat Noir how he knows so much about the system, to which Cat Noir replies that in a house like his, there's bound to be one. Meanwhile, the servants of Simon Says begin to break through the mansion's defenses.

Ladybug and Nathalie go to Adrien’s room make sure he and Nino are all right. Cat Noir tells Gabriel to hide in the atrium as it is not safe where he is now, but Gabriel refuses to listen to Cat Noir, saying that no one, not even a superhero, tells him what to do. Cat Noir gets angry and tells Gabriel that he's in danger like everyone else and to just do what he tells him, much to Gabriel's surprise. He tells the superhero that he reminds him of someone. After Cat Noir leaves, Gabriel faces a portrait of his wife.

Simon Says is delighted since his army is getting closer to breaking into the mansion. Hawk Moth tells Simon Says that he doesn't think what he is doing is such a good idea and to not forget their deal. Simon Says assures Hawk Moth that he'll defeat Ladybug and Cat Noir.

Ladybug warns Nino about what's happening, and he and Nathalie leave Adrien's room while Ladybug calls for Adrien to get out of the shower. Cat Noir climbs in the bathroom window and hears Ladybug calling for Adrien. Quickly, he detransforms while turning on the shower. Ladybug opens the shower door and tells Adrien that they need to go, and freaks out when she realizes Adrien may not have his clothes on. Adrien says that he needs to get dressed and then they can go.

As Ladybug waits for Adrien to come out of the bathroom, she notices the person on the wallpaper of Adrien's computer. When he leaves the bathroom, Adrien reveals to Ladybug that the person is his mother on her seventeenth birthday. Both simultaneously tell each other, "she's got your eyes." Suddenly, hypnotized servants of Simon Says break into the room. Ladybug pushes Adrien back into his bathroom to keep him safe. In the bathroom, Plagg teases Adrien, stating that Ladybug actually does love him, but only as Adrien. Adrien ignores Plagg's teasing and transforms into Cat Noir again.

The servants of Simon Says break into the mansion and capture Gabriel. Simon Says brings Gabriel back to the TVi Studio, where he hypnotizes him to think he is a butterfly. By the time Ladybug and Cat Noir reach to the outside of the recording room of the studio, Ladybug assumes that the akuma is inside one of the cards.

As they break in, Ladybug uses Lucky Charm, which gives her a normal yo-yo. Ladybug tries to attack Simon Says with her magical yo-yo, but Simon Says uses a card to make it useless. Cat Noir attacks Simon Says while Ladybug rapidly rips up the villain's cards to look for the akuma.

Simon Says then hypnotizes Gabriel to think he is a plane, sending him to jump off the studio roof. Cat Noir attempts to run after him, but Ladybug determines that the best course of action would be to defeat Simon Says as quickly as possible, rather than going to try to save Gabriel. Ladybug then uses her normal yo-yo to knock Simon Says' pack of cards out of his hands. Cat Noir uses Cataclysm to destroy the pack of cards and tosses the pack to Ladybug, who breaks it and reveals the akuma. She then tosses her Lucky Charm yo-yo and cleanses the city, returning everything except Simon back to normal. She then captures and purifies the akuma, returning Simon back to normal. Afterward, Ladybug and Cat Noir go to the roof and check on Gabriel. When Cat Noir and Gabriel shake hands, the latter looks closely at Cat Noir's ring before he and Ladybug leave. Back at the Agreste mansion, Adrien is sadly looking at pictures of his mother when Gabriel suddenly walks into his room and gives him a hug, much to Adrien’s surprise and pleasure. Then, Gabriel notices Adrien's ring and asks about it, having never noticed it before. Adrien avoids the question by asking his father if that's the only thing he's never noticed about him, and Gabriel tells Adrien he's glad everything worked out for the best before leaving the room.

At the bakery, Tom and Sabine tell Marinette that because she has had a perfect week of attendance at school, she can go and meet Nino for the second round of The Challenge. Marinette decides that she would rather stay at home and watch The Challenge with her parents. However, when she hears that Nino wants Ladybug and Cat Noir to be there for the challenge, she makes an excuse and leaves for the studio.

24- "Volpina"
Airdate: April 3, 2016

The episode begins at the Agreste mansion with Adrien skipping down the grand foyer stairs. In the atelier to his right, Gabriel is on the phone, arguing with a supplier over a new line of clothes and a fashion show happening in three days. While he rants, he picks up a book and places it in a safe hidden behind the painting of Mrs. Agreste. When Gabriel leaves, Adrien sneaks into the room, walking over to the portrait. Plagg prompts Adrien to open the safe, but Adrien protests, stating that his dad wouldn't like him going through his stuff, he doesn't know the code, and he'll be late to fencing practice.

Annoyed with Adrien, Plagg phases through the safe and opens it. Inside is a photograph of Mrs. Agreste, a book about Tibet, a flyer to a Tibetan hotel, the Peacock Miraculous (Which he does not notice), and a "really dusty old book." Plagg throws the book at Adrien who then begins to flip through it, pausing on the page that depicts a man who looks similar to Hawk Moth.

Hearing footsteps, Adrien slams the safe and portrait closed, hiding the book in his schoolbag. Nathalie enters with Adrien's bodyguard following, telling Adrien that he's going to be late. Adrien pretends that he almost forgot his homework, looking sheepish all the while.

Meanwhile, Marinette and Alya walk into their school, hearing their classmates Rose, Chloé, and Nino discussing the various accomplishments of a girl named Lila. Marinette asks Alya who Lila is, learning that she's a new student from Italy. When Alya points upstairs, Marinette finds Lila stroking a distressed Adrien. Ignoring Marinette's facial expressions, Alya continues to say that Lila gave Alya an interview for the Ladyblog, in which Lila describes how she was saved by Ladybug. Alya hip-bumps Marinette, drawing her attention to watch the video.

This doesn't help Marinette, who continues to ask who she is. Alya explains that she's an incredible girl with diplomatic parents and is well traveled. Marinette then begins to freak out, her imagination taking her to Lila and Adrien flirting shamelessly, developing a romantic relationship, traveling to Hollywood, and Adrien forgetting entirely about Marinette. Breaking out of her imagination, Marinette finds Adrien being dragged by Lila into the library. Marinette tries to get Alya to go with her to break them apart, but Alya ignores Marinette's concerns, more focused on the view count on the Ladyblog, which has since exploded from Lila's video.

Confused, Marinette thinks that Lila has somehow hypnotized everyone in the school. Tikki accuses Marinette of being jealous, which she denies. After a moment of hesitation, she follows Adrien and Lila. Hiding behind a bookshelf, Marinette only finds a bored Adrien tapping his fingers against a table, Lila out of sight. Adrien scooches back from the table and pulls the book from earlier out of his bag. Tikki begins to freak out, needing to see the book up close. Marinette tells Tikki to hide. Instead, Tikki flies over to the bookshelf opposite Marinette, hiding on top.

Adrien attempting to hide the miraulculous book. In that moment, Lila returns with her Histoire textbook, saying that she and Adrien can study together. Adrien hastily covers his book with his Maths book, but it's too late as Lila's already noticed. She pulls it out from under Adrien's arm, asking him what it is. He explains that it's an encyclopedia about superheroes. Placing her hand on Adrien's, Lila tells Adrien that she adores superheroes. Marinette flinches and freaks out, figuring it's already too late. This causes her to bump into a cart of books waiting to be put away.

The scene shifts to Tikki who is peering at the open pages Lila is flipping through. When Lila stops on the page for Ladybug, Adrien sighs and mentions she's amazing. This annoys Lila. Picking up her chair, Lila places it right next to Adrien, telling him that a girl doesn't need to wear a costume to be fascinating. Lila confronts Adrien about his crush on Ladybug, which he tries to deny through stutters. Meanwhile, Marinette gets closer to the two by hiding behind the cart of books and moving it. Lila lies to Adrien, telling him that she's friends with Ladybug.

Angry about Lila's lies, Marinette growls and moves to confront Lila, but she leans on the cart, causing it to slide away and make Marinette fall. The cart slams into the wall, falling over, scattering books, and interrupting Lila and Adrien. Marinette hides under the table.

Before Adrien can investigate, his phone alarm goes off, telling him he has only one minute before his fencing practice begins. Hastily, Adrien grabs his books and begins to put them away, Lila following suit. As Adrien is putting his bag on his shoulder, Lila startles him, making him drop his bag and spill out all of his books. Lila distracts him for a moment, confirming that they'll meet later at the park. At the same time, she puts her foot on Adrien's book and slides it away from Adrien's bag. Adrien hurriedly agrees, Lila handing him his bag.

When Adrien runs off, Lila picks up the book and flips it open to a random page, landing on the Fox superhero's page, and walks off. Tikki zooms down from her perch to Marinette, about to tell Marinette something, but Marinette interrupts her. Marinette assumes that Tikki wants her to talk to Adrien before he and Lila meet at the park; Tikki doesn't want Adrien to know anything about the book and wants it for herself. When Marinette asks why the book is so important, Tikki says that she'll explain when she's sure that the book is the one she thinks it is.

Tikki and Marinette follow Lila to a jewelry shop, watching Lila exit it. Marinette is even angrier now as she's just finished watching Lila's video on the Ladyblog where Lila says that she and Ladybug are very close friends. Marinette and Tikki chase after her, arriving in the park. Lila sits on a bench, looking at a necklace of a fox's tail. She pulls it out of its box and flips open Adrien's book to the Fox superhero's page. She puts it on and grins, freezing when she looks up and sees Adrien walking toward her. Lila hides the book behind her, panicking and throwing it in a nearby trashcan. Lila grabs Adrien's arm and pulls him to sit next to her while Marinette complains that Lila is a pest.

Tikki flies off, telling Marinette that she'll grab the book and that Marinette can take care of Adrien. Tikki makes it to the book unseen, but when she tries to take it out of the trashcan, she isn't strong enough. Marinette runs over to the trashcan, taking the book from Tikki.

At the same time, Lila is lying to Adrien about how Ladybug saved her life and how they're friends because they're both superheroes. Lila said that she was a descendant of the Italian superhero Volpina. Adrien mentions that he saw her in his book, but Lila stops him from searching for it. She puts down Ladybug and says that Volpina is better and stronger than her, making Marinette very angry. As Marinette runs away from the situation, Tikki says that she's never seen anyone lie so well before.

Deciding that now is the time to act, Marinette gives Tikki the book (who then falls to the ground under its weight) and transforms into Ladybug. She immediately confronts Lila, calling her out on her lies about being saved by Ladybug. Adrien asks if she's not the descendant of Volpina, which Ladybug confirms. Upset, Lila runs away, crying. Adrien tries to stop her and to comfort her, but he's not fast enough. He rounds on Ladybug, asking her why she did that, using an assertive tone he would take with her as Cat Noir before catching himself. Claiming that she hates lies and liars, especially about herself, Ladybug leaves.

Lila being akumatized to Volpina. Across the city, Lila blames Ladybug, saying that she will never be able to go out with Adrien because of her and that she hates her. She throws her bag at Ladybug's magazine poster and falls to her knees, sobbing. Hawk Moth, sensing her negative emotions from his lair, sends an akuma to Lila, the akuma merging with her necklace. He gives her the power of illusion and the name Volpina, letting her have revenge on Ladybug. Transforming, Volpina plays a tune on her flute and throws the energy ball at the Ladybug poster, changing it to one of her and Adrien.

Several civilians standing outside the Louvre Palace stare up at the sky in horror; a massive meteor is burning through the atmosphere and will crash into the Louvre. Outside the Agreste mansion, Adrien and his bodyguard see it too. Adrien runs into his room and transforms into Cat Noir. Seeing the meteor, Ladybug jumps off her balcony and swings through the city with her yo-yo. A red blur zips through the sky beside her, throwing her off. It stops above the Louvre and braces itself, catching the meteor and throwing it back into the sky. Volpina just saved the day. The meteor, however, disappears as soon as it hits a pigeon.

The Volpina that stopped the meteor lands on a rooftop, the real Volpina waving her hand through the illusion and stepping into the view of the public. To the citizens of Paris, Volpina states that she is the only hero that Paris needs. Ladybug and Cat Noir stand on another roof, discussing with each other the merits of having another superhero in Paris. Ladybug is skeptical about how a new hero showed up out of nowhere, but Cat Noir isn't alarmed. In the midst of their arguing, Volpina lands between the two, telling them she needs their help.

Standing on another rooftop is Hawk Moth. Volpina tells them that they need to capture him. Cat Noir immediately agrees and says that she can count on them. Volpina then flatters Cat Noir and his costume. Oblivious to the two, Ladybug makes a disgusted face and returns to observing Hawk Moth. Ladybug is very skeptical about everything that's happened so far, but Cat Noir disagrees. Ladybug questions Volpina on her powers, asking her what her Miraculous is and what her powers are.

Behind them, Hawk Moth disappears, Volpina chasing after him. Ladybug and Cat Noir follow. Hawk Moth stops, standing above Hôtel de Ville, the other three stopping nearby. Volpina tells Ladybug to go to the right and Cat Noir to go to the left, she comes up from behind. Annoyed with Volpina's leadership and lack of consulting with them, Ladybug says she'll go right, Cat Noir will go behind, and Volpina will go left. After Volpina leaves, Cat Noir tells Ladybug to be nicer to Volpina since she's on their side. Ladybug bounds off over rooftops.

Volpina goes behind a chimney, the real Volpina destroying the illusioned Volpina. Cat Noir ends up in his spot on the Hôtel de Ville, but Hawk Moth is missing. Cat Noir spots him again and chases him across the city. Volpina leaves him, chasing after Ladybug.

Ladybug is chasing after her own Hawk Moth. When she loses sight of him, her left foot steps into a green box, turning it red. The box locked onto her foot, tracking her movements. All around Ladybug, large rockets aim at her. Volpina monologues and Ladybug figures out that Lila was akumatized. Ladybug tries to convince Volpina to stop, but Volpina is still locked onto the fact that everyone thinks she's a liar. Since she's a superhero and even Cat Noir believes her, it would be Ladybug who would be called the liar if she ever told anyone.

Hawk Moth interrupts Volpina, telling her to take Ladybug's Miraculous. Volpina demands she hands over her earrings, but Ladybug says no, covering her ears. Volpina gives her an ultimatum: hand over the Miraculous, or a building crumbles. Ladybug calls her bluff, but Volpina plays a tune and the building falls apart. Seeing the damage and the screaming people, Ladybug tells Volpina to stop and puts a hand to her earrings. Before she takes them off, a pigeon flies into the illusion and destroys it. Ladybug figures out that Volpina's power is that of illusions and lies. She gets rid of the fake rockets and tries to catch Volpina, but realizes that she is an illusion too. Contacting Cat Noir, Ladybug explains Volpina's powers and that she is actually one of Hawk Moth's akumatized victims. She also explains that Volpina's akumitization is her fault and that Volpina is likely heading over to Adrien's house as they speak.

Cat Noir rushes over to the Agreste mansion, entering his room through the bathroom window and detransforming. Plagg questions him about not staying as Cat Noir, but Adrien says that Lila is in love with Adrien and not Cat Noir, meaning Adrien has to handle this as himself. Plagg hides as Volpina flies through the window and into Adrien's room. Adrien pretends to not know who she is, prompting her to continue her lies as Volpina. She explains that the scene from earlier was Ladybug being jealous over Volpina and her strengths.

Outside Adrien's house, Ladybug tries to call Cat Noir, but he won't answer. She enters Adrien's room, interrupting Volpina's and Adrien's conversation. Volpina calls the entire thing a date, which Adrien denies. Volpina doesn't like that, so she turns on Adrien as he's trying to rescind his words and fix the situation, saying that their speaking could become a date, but it isn't yet. Ladybug stops his rambling, asking him to step out so that she could take care of Volpina. Adrien hides in the bathroom and retransforms into Cat Noir.

Meanwhile, Ladybug and Volpina are fighting in Adrien's room. Cat Noir enters through the window, claiming he couldn't find the address. Panicked, Volpina creates multiple copies of herself and jumps down into them, hiding. Ladybug gets rid of them, but the real Volpina isn't there.

Outside, Ladybug spots Volpina kidnapping Adrien. Cat Noir says it's an illusion, claiming that his nose is legendary at pointing this stuff out. However, Ladybug opens up the bathroom door and Adrien isn't there. Cat Noir sighs and follows Ladybug into Paris.

On the Eiffel Tower, Volpina dangles Adrien from one of the beams. Ladybug and Cat Noir climb the Tower, stopping when Volpina begins to swing Adrien around. She demands they give up their Miraculouses or she'll drop Adrien. Even though she likes Adrien, she'd rather see the demise of Ladybug and Cat Noir. Cat Noir calls her out on the illusion, but Ladybug doesn't believe him, reaching for her earrings. Cat Noir stops her and throws his staff at Adrien and Volpina, much to Ladybug's shouts of "NO!" The illusions disappear.

They spot Volpina on the other side of the Tower and chase her to the top where she creates, even more, illusions of herself and hides among them. Ladybug summons her Lucky Charm, receiving a fudge ice cream bar. The inner wrapping shines on her face when she opens it. Cat Noir uses Cataclysm, holding it in his hand for when they'll need it. Ladybug turns the ice cream around, shining the inside of the wrapper on the Volpinas, the sunlight making the real one flinch from the light. Cat Noir uses his Cataclysm on part of the Tower, trapping Volpina in a cage. Grabbing Volpina's necklace, Ladybug breaks it and captures the akuma. She then uses Miraculous Ladybug and returns the city and Lila to normal.

When Lila returns to normal, Ladybug apologizes for her earlier actions. Lila doesn't accept her apology and leaves, saying that they'll never be friends. In his lair, Hawk Moth rants that because Lila is still angry, Volpina will be back. His window closes, leaving him and his butterflies in darkness.

Back on the Tower, Ladybug is worried; she doesn't know where the real Adrien is. Cat Noir says that since everything is back to normal, he would be at his house. Ladybug still has to check though. Cat Noir tries to stop her, saying she'll detransform (she loses one dot on her earrings), but Ladybug counters that he'll detransform too (he loses one toe bean on his ring). Ladybug leaves, saying she'll check up on him. Cat Noir loves her stubbornness.

Ladybug beats Cat Noir to Adrien's house. She runs up to the bathroom door, calling Adrien's name. Cat Noir (who was against the door) runs into the shower area, turning it on. Ladybug opens the door, asking if she can come in. As soon as the shower starts, she slams the door closed, learning from the events in "Simon Says". Through the door, she asks if everything's alright, to which Cat Noir answers that it is. He needed to have a shower from all of these emotions. He runs back up to the door and puts his ear against it, listening to her. Ladybug does the same thing on the other side. Before she leaves, he thanks her. Simultaneously, they rest their heads against the door, sighing. Ladybug leaves first, exiting through the window. Cat Noir exits the bathroom, upset.

Marinette returns home to her balcony, speaking to Tikki about Adrien's book. Marinette says they can't keep it and they need to give it back. Tikki says the opposite; the book has priceless knowledge and needs to be given to someone who can protect it. She decides it's time for Marinette to meet the Great Guardian.

In his room Adrien is searching through his bag, trying to find his father's book. He asks Plagg if he touched it, which Plagg denies. Adrien is extremely worried; his father will be angrier than Hawk Moth when he finds out it's missing.

Tikki leads Marinette to Master Fu's massage shop. She enters the main room, spotting Master Fu. He immediately identifies her as Ladybug. As she enters, the door closes behind her.

25- "Ladybug et Chat Noir (Origines - Partie 1)" ("Ladybug & Cat Noir - Origins, Part 1")
Airdate: August 6, 2016

The episode begins with Nooroo recounting the story of the Miraculouses, and explains that the Ladybug Miraculous and the Cat Miraculous are more powerful than the others and that whoever controls both Miraculouses will have absolute power. Nooroo is interrupted by a man holding a brooch with a picture of Mrs. Agreste inside. The man proclaims that he wants that absolute power and asks Nooroo to remind him of the power of the Moth Miraculous. Nooroo explains the power of the brooch is to grant other people superpowers, and the man declares his intent to use it to create supervillains, thus drawing out the Ladybug and Cat Miraculouses with users to stop him. Nooroo protests, saying the Miraculouses are not intended to be used for evil. However, the man insists and forces Nooroo to submit to him. He attaches the Moth Miraculous to his chest, and he transforms into Hawk Moth.

Wayzz wakes up and flies out of a gramophone to Master Fu, who promptly dismisses a man lying on a mat. As soon as the door closes, the kwami explains that he felt the negative energy of the Moth Miraculous. The brooch was originally thought to be lost forever. Determined to get Nooroo back, Master Fu holds up his arm, with the Turtle Miraculous on his wrist. He calls Wayzz's name to transform but freezes in pain. When he stands up again, he comes to the conclusion that a new hero is needed. Walking to the gramophone, he presses several buttons, resulting in the gramophone revealing a jewelry box of Miraculouses.

Inside her bedroom, Marinette wakes up. Turning off the alarm on her cellphone, she goes downstairs, kissing her mother on the cheek. Making breakfast, she bemoans her first day of school, expecting Chloé Bourgeois to be in her class for the fourth year in a row.

Her mother tries to reassure Marinette that she doesn't have bad luck, right before Marinette accidentally causes a chain reaction making a mess of all the food on the counter. Sabine silently reassures Marinette and helps her clean up. In the bakery below, Tom Dupain presents Marinette with a box of macarons to share with her class. Marinette hugs her father, kisses both her parents and runs out the bakery.

Marinette comes to a pedestrian crosswalk, waiting for the light to change. As she waits, Master Fu crosses the street. Noticing a car heading towards Master Fu Marinette lunges forward and drags him onto the sidewalk. In the process, Marinette drops the macarons, and people step on them without noticing. She offers one to Master Fu, going on her way to school. Master Fu holds a box in his hand, picking up his cane and walking past the bakery.

Marinette runs past Fred Haprèle and into Miss Bustier's classroom. Miss Bustier is at the front of the class, telling Nino to move to the front row. He gets up as Marinette sits down, groaning. Chloé Bourgeois approaches Marinette and orders her to move, claiming the spot Marinette had sat in for the past few years is her spot, and that she wants to sit behind Adrien. Backed up by Sabrina, Chloé orders Marinette to sit in the front row next to Alya, a new student. Alya approaches, accosts Chloé and grabs Marinette's arm, dragging her away. In the process, Marinette trips over her own feet, dropping the box of macarons. When Marinette sits down next to Alya, Miss Bustier begins class. Marinette admits she fears she'll never be able to stand up to Chloé, and Alya replies with a quote from her favorite superhero, encouraging Marinette to stand up to evil. Marinette breaks apart the single remaining macaron giving half to Alya, as the two introduce themselves to each other. Outside the building, Adrien runs toward the school, but a car swings around to meet him. Nathalie Sancoeur shouts at him to stop, as his father did not allow him to go to school. Adrien protests, but notices an old man is on the ground with his cane out of his reach. Adrien runs past Nathalie and his bodyguard to give the cane to the man and help him to his feet. When he turns around, Nathalie and the bodyguard block the stairs, ushering Adrien back into the car and driving him home. Master Fu nods to himself, puts his cane on his shoulder, and walks away.

Back in Miss Bustier's classroom, Miss Bustier dismisses her class. As the students leave, Kim hands Ivan a note. Ivan reacts angrily, and Miss Bustier sends him to see Mr. Damocles.

Hawk Moth senses Ivan's anger and sadness and sends out his first akuma.

Outside the school, Mr. D'Argencourt leads Kim, Max, Alix, Nino, and Rose to class. Inside the school, Ivan opens the door to Mr. Damocles' office. Because he did not knock, Mr. Damocles makes Ivan leave the room and knock on the door. Angrily, Ivan leaves the room, and an akuma flies into the crumpled note. Almost immediately, Ivan accepts Hawk Moth's proposal of taking revenge on those who hurt him, and he transforms into Stoneheart. Mr. Damocles asks Ivan if he's knocking, and the door flies off its hinges. Stoneheart enters the room shouting Kim's name. The crash makes Mr. Damocles fall over, and students in the library also fall over with each step Stoneheart takes.

The students scream as they run toward the television in the library, Alya picks up Marinette and drags her by the hand. On the top left screen is Stoneheart, shouting Kim's name. In his office, Mr. Damocles calls the police and the army. Marinette has no clue what's happening, nor why the monster has Ivan's voice. Alya, on the other hand, claims that a superhero will show up to fight the villain, and leaves Marinette behind in the library, to chase after Stoneheart. Before Stoneheart leaves the school grounds, he picks up a car and chucks it at the school, knocking out the camera.

Master Fu stands outside the Agreste mansion with a small box in his hands, smiling. Inside the mansion, Nathalie is asking Adrien questions about history, but Gabriel Agreste interrupts her, reprimanding Adrien for sneaking out and telling him that he has everything he could ever want in the mansion and that the outside world is too dangerous. Nathalie then states that they could be done with the homeschooling for the day if Adrien wished. Before she finishes speaking, Adrien runs from the room to his bedroom. Adrien lies on his bed, face in a pillow, but runs outside when he hears rumbling crashes. He sees police cars and hears sirens. The police ready their weapons as Stoneheart approaches, firing on Roger Raincomprix's command. When they fire, Stoneheart glows yellow, curling in on himself before growing in size. He picks up a police van and throws it as the officers scatter.

Marinette watches a news broadcast about Stoneheart's attack, terrified. Simultaneously, she and Adrien look down at the tables in front of them, each finding a small, octagonal, black and red box. When they open the boxes, each flashes with light. They both flinch backing away from the lights. From inside each box emerges a large sphere. Tikki appears in front of Marinette, who panics as Tikki tries to calm her down. Plagg appears in front of Adrien, who reacts with curiosity as Plagg flies around the room looking at shiny objects. Marinette calms down and questions Tikki, who begins to explain the situation. Adrien captures Plagg, who also begins to explain the situation. Marinette calls out to her parents, but Tikki tells her to stop, expressing friendship she asks Marinette to trust her. Tikki reveals to Marinette that she is the only one who can stop Stoneheart. In Master Fu's shop, while Master Fu hides the jewelry box with its remaining Miraculouses, Wayzz asks Master Fu if he had made a mistake. Master Fu responds that he's only made one mistake in his life and he doesn't intend on making a second.

Marinette tells Tikki that she doesn't feel qualified to be a superhero and recommends Alya as an alternative, but Tikki insists that Marinette was chosen. Adrien tells Plagg that he can't be a superhero if he can't leave his house, but Plagg insists that can change. Marinette puts on the Ladybug Miraculous, and at Tikki's request says "Spots on!", panicking as she begins to transform. Adrien puts on the Cat Miraculous and says "Claws out!", beginning to transform as Plagg protests that he hasn't finished explaining. Ladybug expresses her distaste at her new costume, and asks Tikki for advice, but can't find Tikki and is distracted by news footage of Alya following Stoneheart. She goes to the roof and throws her yo-yo forward, leaping into the air above the city.

Cat Noir walks along his staff between two buildings. He pauses as he hears screaming, and Ladybug falls from the sky and crashes into him, her yo-yo wrapping around them both, suspending them from his staff. They dangle as Ladybug apologizes. Cat Noir recognizes her as the partner Plagg had mentioned and introduces himself as Cat Noir. Ladybug tugs on her yo-yo to free it and it comes crashing down on Cat Noir's head. When she introduces herself, she calls herself "Madly Clumsy." Cat Noir forgives her for accidentally hurting him. Loud thumping interrupts them as a tall building crashes down. Cat Noir extends his staff and vaults up to Paris' rooftops, intent on saving the city. Ladybug reluctantly follows, screaming all the while. At the Parc des Princes, the students are finishing up their class. Stoneheart jumps onto the wall of the stadium, shouting Kim's name. The students flee as Stoneheart chases after Kim, who trips over his feet and falls to the ground. Cat Noir's staff stops Stoneheart from touching Kim and gives Kim time to flee. Cat Noir goads Stoneheart into attacking him.

In his lair, Hawk Moth states that as everything is going according to plan. Cat Noir hits Stoneheart with his staff, and Stoneheart grows in size. Cat Noir avoids Stoneheart's next blows as Ladybug watches in horror from the top of the stadium's wall. Stoneheart wrenches a soccer goal from the ground and throws it at Cat Noir. It bounces, arcing toward Alya, who is hiding and filming. Cat Noir acts fast, throwing his staff and extending it. The goal post bounces off it, missing Alya. This distraction gives Stoneheart the opportunity to catch Cat Noir. Alya spots Ladybug, asking her what she is waiting for. Ladybug winces and dives into the stadium. She hooks her yo-yo around Stoneheart's legs and slides to a stop in front of him. Unbalanced, Stoneheart releases Cat Noir. Ladybug runs to Cat Noir's side as he prepares to attack Stoneheart again. Ladybug stops him and reminds him of Stoneheart's ability to grow stronger with each hit. Cat Noir suggests that they use their powers, and he summons his Cataclysm, testing it on one of the goal's posts, which rusts and dissolves. Excited, Cat Noir runs out to Stoneheart, placing his hand on Stoneheart's foot. When nothing happens, Stoneheart kicks him back to Ladybug, who berates him, telling him he has only five minutes left before he transforms back into his civilian self.

Ladybug summons her Lucky Charm, a wetsuit, and explains the akuma to Cat Noir, who points out that they don't know where the akuma is. Ladybug realizes that Stoneheart keeps his right fist closed, and suggests the akuma is hidden in his fist. She ties the open ends of the wetsuit together and ties a water hose into the neck of the suit. Asking Cat Noir to trust her, she wraps her yo-yo around his legs and throws him at Stoneheart, who catches Cat Noir in his left fist. Ladybug taunts Stoneheart and throws herself at him, wetsuit in hand. When Stoneheart catches her, he drops the crumpled note, which is now a purple rock. Ladybug then yells at Alya to turn on the hose, which allows the wetsuit to fill up with water and forces Stoneheart's hand open. Ladybug runs over to the purple rock and stomps on it, freeing the akuma, which flutters off as Ivan turns back to normal and drops Cat Noir to the ground. The crumpled note returns to its paper form.

Ivan has no clue what's going on or why he is at the Parc de Princes. Ladybug and Cat Noir pound fists, complimenting each other. Cat Noir leaves before his Miraculous runs out. Ladybug turns to Ivan, reading the note she finds it contains a taunting message from Kim to Ivan for not telling Mylène he loves her. Ladybug consoles Ivan as Alya films the entire scene. Alya asks Ladybug many questions as she's walking away and in response, she tells Alya to call her "Ladybug". Taking out her yo-yo, the hero now known as Ladybug swings up and out of the stadium.

In her room, Marinette watches a review of the fight on her computer. Her father calls her down from her room for dinner. The television in the living room shows a press conference from Mayor Bourgeois, stating that he will be hosting a grand party in Ladybug's and Cat Noir's honor. Adrien watches the same press conference in his room. While Plagg searches through the four covered dishes set in front of the television for food. He lifts the cover of the fourth one, revealing a dessert. Disgusted, he tells Adrien such and that his palate is more refined.

The free akuma lands on the top of the Eiffel Tower. It multiplies, sending out streams of its copies into Paris.

Marinette is washing dishes when the news reports on multiple citizens turning into Stoneheart. Tom and Sabine hold each other in horror as Marinette rushes to her room. At the same time, Adrien laments that he's going to smell like stinky old cheese because of Plagg's affection of Camembert. The news interrupts his lament explaining the situation with the people turning into Stonehearts. Except for they are inactive and immobile.

When they question their kwami on what went wrong, Plagg and Tikki ask the same question: "Did you capture the akuma?" Tikki explains that the akuma can multiply itself and seek out people who have negative emotions. This can create an army of akumatized villains. Marinette blames herself, saying it's all her fault and that she's too clumsy to be a superhero.

Tikki tries to tell Marinette that it's only her first time fighting, that she'll fight Stoneheart again and win next time. Marinette doesn't listen, insisting that she makes everything worse for everyone. She even states that Cat Noir would be better without her. Simultaneously, Marinette and Adrien learn that Cat Noir cannot purify akumas only Ladybug can do it. But Marinette still tells Tikki to look for another Ladybug. She takes her earrings out, much to Tikki's protest. Before Tikki can say anything to dissuade Marinette, she disappears. Marinette puts the earrings back in their box and hides the box away in her vanity. She kneels at the foot of the vanity, upset. Hawk Moth declares that Ivan's sensitive heart will allow him to be akumatized again. The akuma flies back through the open window, landing on Hawk Moth's cane and resting in its jewel. As the episode ends, Ivan sits on the steps of the collège, Adrien worries in his room, Marinette regrets her decisions in front of her vanity, and Hawk Moth cackles as his window closes.

26- "Cœur de pierre (Origines - Partie 2)" ("Stoneheart - Origins, Part 2")
Airdate: August 6, 2016

Continuing from the previous episode with innocent victims turning into immobile Stonehearts all over Paris, Marinette discreetly asks her parents for advice on the situation, and they reply that Ladybug will return and save the city. When Marinette expresses her doubt, her parents only reassure her. She runs up to her room, and after a brief pause on her way takes out her earrings.

At the Agreste mansion, Nathalie discovers that Adrien has left, much to the anger of his father. Adrien is then seen running as fast as he can trying to reach the school before Nathalie and the Gorilla catch up with him.

Marinette, meanwhile, arrives at school. Alya informs her of the new website she created called the Ladyblog and reassures Marinette that Ladybug will save the city once more. Marinette encounters Chloé mocking Ivan, saying he is a monster and making fun of his crush on Mylène. In his lair, Hawk Moth identifies Ivan's anger and prepares to release another akuma. Adrien reaches the school, just as Nathalie exits the car and tells him not to go through with it, but Adrien ignores her and goes in any way. Alya confronts Chloé for her attitude towards Ivan, but Chloé retorts, causing Alya to storm away. Adrien, who has just entered the school, greets Chloé, who runs towards him as everyone else recognizes who he is.

Marinette follows Ivan and advises him to tell Mylène how he feels and to think positively. He agrees to this, and Marinette suggests to him various ways he can win over Mylène, inspiring him to write her a song. Marinette agrees and encourages Ivan's idea reminding him again to stay positive. Feeling better, Ivan silently thanks Marinette and runs off after to work on his song. Hawk Moth angrily notices Ivan's negative emotions are fading.

Adrien is led around the school by Chloé as he signs autographs along the way. She leads him into his class and directs him to a seat at the front, in front of her. He sits himself down next to Nino, who ignores him as he's friends with Chloé. Adrien is surprised by this. But then he spots Chloé sticking a piece of gum on a seat. He questions her and goes to remove the gum himself.

Meanwhile, Marinette is walking to her class with Alya and slips her Miraculous into Alya's bag. They enter the class and see Adrien hunched over her seat, supposedly sticking gum on it. Marinette angrily confronts him as he tries to defend himself to no use. Marinette places a napkin over the gum and angrily sits down. Alya and Marinette soon identify that Adrien is a famous model and the son of Marinette's favorite fashion designer, Gabriel Agreste. They shake their heads in distaste. Nino, however, recognizes that Adrien is nice and agrees to be his new friend.

Mylène is running out of the bathroom, worried she'll be late for class before she bumps into Ivan. Ivan then tells her he wrote her a song and sings it loudly, causing Mylène to run away. Ivan grows angry once more and becomes re-akumatized. With his re-akumatization, all the immobilized Stonehearts come to life and begin to terrorize Paris.

In class, Miss Bustier is taking attendance before Ivan as Stoneheart angrily enters upon the call of his name. He kidnaps Mylène and Chloé and runs out of the classroom, pursued by Alya, who wants footage for her blog. Alya leaves her bag with the earrings behind with Marinette, so Marinette takes it and follows her. Adrien rushes to his locker to transform into Cat Noir.

Chloé continues to complain as she is carried off by Stoneheart before Cat Noir swings in and hits Stoneheart, causing him to only grow bigger. At Chloé's request for the cavalry, Stoneheart also brings in all of his minions. Cat Noir barely escapes them as the original Stoneheart runs off with Myène and Chloé. Alya heads straight into the commotion in an effort to capture footage of Ladybug saving the day, but she gets crushed by a car against a building.

Marinette faces turmoil before putting the earrings on, telling Tikki she has decided to continue as Ladybug. She admits she's not sure she's up for the task but her friend needs her. She then transforms into Ladybug. Once she has become Ladybug, she lifts the car, freeing Alya.

Ladybug pursues Stoneheart on his way to Eiffel Tower. Once she reaches it, she calls to Cat Noir to aid her. Atop the Eiffel Tower, Stoneheart decides to throw Chloé off the tower to get rid of her. As Chloé approaches the ground, Ladybug catches her, saving her life.

As the police prepare to fire, Ladybug argues with Roger Raincomprix, who tells her to leave the work to the professionals. Ladybug begins to doubt herself, but it doesn't take long for Cat Noir to reassure her that she can do this. Suddenly, Stoneheart roars in agony and falls down, and Hawk Moth's face made out of akumas appears. He tells all of Paris his name and then demands Ladybug and Cat Noir give up their Miraculouses. Ladybug retorts and asserts that Hawk Moth can't just reverse the roles of the heroes and the villain. She uses her yo-yo to defeat the head of Hawk Moth, standing up for herself and all of Paris before purifying Hawk Moth's akumas. Cat Noir smiles, realizing he is in love with whoever Ladybug is.

The two heroes then return their focus to Stoneheart. Back in his lair, Hawk Moth convinces Stoneheart to attack Ladybug and Cat Noir. Stoneheart complies and summons his entire army to surround them. In a pinch, Ladybug comes up with a plan to bring Stoneheart and Mylène closer together. Ladybug makes her way to the top of Eiffel Tower and comforts a scared Mylène.

She summons her Lucky Charm, a parachute. Ladybug uses her yo-yo to bring Mylène and Stoneheart together so that they kiss, causing the surprised Stoneheart to release both Mylène and his crumpled up song, the akumatized object. Both begin falling, and Ladybug goes after the akumatized object, purifying it. She utilizes the parachute to rescue Mylène, telling Cat Noir to take care of Ivan.

Cat Noir uses his Cataclysm to create a platform and saves Ivan. Ladybug swings back up and purifies the akuma. She then throws the parachute into the air and its energy returns everything to normal producing the first Miraculous Ladybug event. In his lair Hawk Moth vows to one day get their Miraculouses and have his secret dream come true.

After rescuing both, Ladybug tells Mylène to read the lyrics to Ivan's song, and after she does, Mylène thanks him before hugging him, causing him to blush. The two new heroes watch the couple with shared smiles before Ladybug's earrings beep reminding her of the time limit of her Miraculous. She says she'll see him soon to Cat Noir and he responds that he can't wait.

The next day at school, Marinette and Alya relate the events of yesterday. Alya apparently missed all the action but Marinette assures her she'll get another chance in the future. Meanwhile, Adrien's car parks outside the school. Inside the car, Adrien is having a video conference with his father. Gabriel scolds his son for attending the school without his permission. But his father surprises him with the news that he can still go to the school. Adrien expresses his happiness with thanks to Nathalie and his father and quickly leaves for class.

In the classroom, Marinette and Alya are about to take their usual seats, but Marinette changes her mind and sits in her old spot. When Chloé questions the sudden change in seating arrangements, Marinette stands up to her and tells Chloé to take her attitude elsewhere, which makes the class laugh. When Adrien arrives, Marinette ignores his attempt to talk to her, but Nino urges him to be honest with her.

Later at the end of the day, Adrien finds Marinette standing alone without an umbrella in the rain. He explains to her that Chloé put the gum on her seat and he was attempting to remove it. He hands her his umbrella, and they share brief eye contact through the exchange. Before the umbrella closes over Marinette's head, causing Adrien to laugh, resulting in Marinette smiling and laughing as well.

After they part ways, Marinette finds herself stuttering when she tries to say goodbye, and Adrien is overjoyed to have made a new friend. In the distance, Master Fu and Wayzz watch the two new heroes glad the Miraculouses are in the right hands.
