The next morning everyone filled back into the theater room, ready to start the day and get back on with these episodes. The previous night not everyone decided to watch Stormy weather 2, in fact the only people who didn't watch the episode were Nathaniel, Marc, Chloe, Jagged, Penny, Ivan, Mylene, Rose Juleka, and surprisingly Adrien(Because Alya and Nino watched the episode first and decided it was better he didn't know Nathalie is in love with his Dad). Once everyone was in the room Red, Pin and Luminous emerged from the shadows with the Top hat in hand.
"So before we pick today's episode just out of curiosity who watched Stormy Weather 2 last night"? Luminous asks leasuly tossing her hat in the air and catching it without a single card falling out, as most of the hands in the room went up.
"I see and what did you think of it"?
"Well besides one detail, I found stormy weather almost ending the world to be a bit overkill. But other than that it was another boring recap episode, not like any of those are good anyways". Alya says with all the others to some degree agreeing with her.
"Well then you've never seen the ember island players if you think here's no such thing as a good recap episode". Luminous says to herself amused.
"I see and why didn't the rest of you watch Stormy Weather 2"? Red asks, turning to the rest of the group.
"It was our Couples movie night, and we didn't really want to watch anymore of our lives for the day". Penny says, grabbing Jaggeds hand.
"Same". Mylene says blushing while looking over at her Ivan.
"We had a girl's night Disney princess marathon". Rose says giving Juleka a side hug.
"Comic book planning session". Marc and Nathaniel say in sync.
"I just wasn't interested". Chloe admits.
"And Nino and Alya insisted they watch it first and afterwards told me it was better if I didn't watch it". Adrien confesses.
"I see". The host trio says together.
"Well anyways who wants to pick out the first episode of the day"? Luminous asks as her hat starts to float around the room.
"I will"! Jagged says, grabbing the hat from mid air, and pulling an envelope out. "Let's see the first episode is"- SQUIRT, as Jagged was opening the envelope a small stream of water squirted right into his face.
"Here". Luminous says making a towel appear and handing it to the rock star.
"Thanks mate". Jagged says, drying off, and then grabbing another Envelope, "Let's try that again, the first episode of the day is, Ladybug"?
Once the title of the episode leaves Jagged's lips naturally everyone is confused, it doesn't sound like another copy cat, or a corrupted version of a hero, it just sounds like an episode devoted to Marinette somehow. But as everyone talks amongst themself a loud groan turns their attention to the front of the room to see Luminous with her head in her hands.
"Umm what's wrong Luminous"? Rose asks nervously.
"Just another episode I. Do. Not. Like!" Luminous says punctuating her point as she hands her remote to Red and starts to walk out of the room. "See you at the end of the episode"!
"Well then let's get this episode started". Red says pressing play.
Scene: Adrien's room. Plagg is eating Camembert and Adrien shows him a bracelet he made.
Adrien: What do you think, Plagg?
Plagg: (smells it) Ugh, what's the point of giving someone something that can't be eaten and doesn't have a scent? If you gave me that, I'd be seriously offended.
Adrien: Maybe I should get a second opinion.
"Dude please don't go to who I think you're going to". Nino says groaning.
"What? If I'm making something for someone, it would make sense to go to Marinette for help". Adrien says, sounding logical, satisfying most people but Alya who says.
"But what if it's a present for Marinette then you would have to go to someone else for advice". She points out.
"Shit".
"Good job Adrikins you cursed".
Scene: Agreste mansion dining room. Nathalie gives Adrien's bracelet to Gabriel.
Gabriel: What is it?
Adrien: It's a gift I've made for Marinette. We're organizing a surprise birthday party for her.
"Wait, this is the second birthday episode we've gotten for Marinette? What about everyone else's birthdays"? Chloe asks, kinda disappointed they didn't get an episode for her birthday.
"Well there are a lot of us here it would make sense that they couldn't get an episode in for everyone's birthdays". Sabrina says trying to be a good friend.
"Try but they couldn't even get a second episode in for Adrikins birthday, how utterly ridiculous". She says huffing to herself.
"Well they got an episode in for his 5th middle name day, so close enough". Red points out as he starts the episode back up.
Gabriel: Marinette?
Adrien: You know, the girl who won the fashion contest? She made the hat I wore for your show. She's a really awesome girl. She loves helping others-
Gabriel: I don't remember giving you permission to go to your friend's birthday party.
Adrien: Please, Father! Marinette deserves to have all her friends there.
(Gabriel glances at Nathalie and she nods)
Gabriel: Alright then.
Adrien: Thank you, Father.
Scene: Outside Tom & Sabine Boulangerie Patisserie. Marinette is surprised after seeing the bracelet.
Marinette: Ah...
Adrien: I always carry the lucky charm you gave me wherever I go, and I think it works pretty well. So..
(Lila angrily watches the party from her bedroom window)
"Oh wait this is a flashback from Befana that makes much more sense". Alya says no longer feeling confused.
"That's good babe but I'm more worried about Lila here. She doesn't look happy and I don't think she'll take someone else being the apple of Adriens eye sitting down. I hate to say this but she's planning something". Nino says worried about what she could be planning.
"Well whatever it is we will be informed of her plans for future reference". Adiren says not looking forward to seeing this.
Scene: Place des Vosges. Lila is reading when Gabriel's car arrives.
Gabriel: I thought you were supposed to protect Adrien from Marinette. The one you said was a bad influence.
"Oh great when did she learn his identity, and more importantly why does he believe everything she says without fact checking her"? Alya growls at the thought of them working together.
"Talk about the pot calling the kettle black". Red says reminding Alya of her own inability to fact check.
"Oh right, but when did they even become so buddy buddy"?
"Remember this is only the 6th episode we're watching of the season, so it's only natural that we're missing some info". Nino says calming Alya down.
"Okay okay".
Scene: Flashback from "Chameleon".
Lila: From now on, you and I are at war. You will lose your friends and wind up all alone and Adrien will soon be mine.
Marinette: We'll see about that, Lila, we'll see.
Flashback from Chameleon ends.
Lila: My plan is taking a little longer than expected, sir. But you won't be disappointed.
"Okay who doesn't like the sound of that"? Pin asks amused from Red's shoulder as EVERYONE raises their hand.
Scene: Miss Bustier's classroom. Lila takes away a paper from Miss Bustier's desk.
Scene: Locker room. Lila uses her phone and puts the paper into Marinette's backpack.
"Is she framing me for stealing something from my teacher"? Marinette asks, not believing what she's seeing.
"Sure looks like it". Alya agrees numbly .
Lila: Will you keep your promise if I succeed?
Gabriel: I always honor my commitments. (car drives away)
Nathalie: You work too hard, sir.
Gabriel: Now's not the time to ease up, Nathalie.
Scene: Collège Françoise Dupont. Everyone goes inside the classroom.
Lila: (to Nathaniel) I'm good friends with the best manga publisher in Japan, you know. I can talk to them about your comic book project if you like.
Marinette: She's such a liar!
Alya: You gotta stop obsessing over her, Marinette.
Miss Bustier: I've graded your mock exam papers. Most of you did quite well, some better than others, but before I hand them back, Marinette, could you bring your schoolbag to me, please? I need to check something. (Marinette does so) Today, someone placed an anonymous note in my mailbox, claiming that you'd stolen the exam answers, and it looks like the anonymous person was right! (Everyone gasps)
"Okay who even tries to cheat on a mock exam it would make more sense to steal the real exam answers". Jagged exclaims.
"Ya Lila could at least choose an answer sheet that would count towards a grade". Marinette says, very unhappy about being framed.
Marinette: But that's not true! Someone must've planted that piece of paper in my bag!
Miss Bustier: But you've answered all of the questions correctly.
Marinette: I did? Yes, but because I've studied.
Alya: Miss Bustier, Marinette always scores high on your tests.
"That is true, despite your extracurricular activities you do manage to keep good enough grades". Ms Bustier says thinking it over.
Lila: This is so terribly unlike you, Marinette. You're usually so well-behaved.
Marinette: Of course! You put the answers in my bag! You're the "anonymous informer"!
Lila: (gasps) I'm coming to your defense and you're accusing me?!
Miss Bustier: You can't accuse someone without proof, Marinette.
"You know, Luminous knows how to lift fingerprints from papers, and how to get fingerprint samples from people, she could teach you how to do that for when you get back. After all if Marinette really did steal that paper it would have her prints on it, but not only that but it would have Lila's print on it too. Trust me there's no more damning evidence than a fingerprint since no two people have identical fingerprints, not even twins". Pin explains to the room.
"Umm how does Luminous know all this"? Marinette asks, impressed.
"She is a thief after all. She says she should know what the police and the forensic units are looking for when investigating a crime scene. So she learned a lot about forensic science and knows how to get fingerprints off certain surfaces like a golf ball, or papers".
"In that case I would gladly take a fingerprint collecting class from Luminous, and in fact all my student's will take the class as well just to be safe". Ms Bustier says taking the offer, as some of her students groan hearing about more school work.
"Great, she'll even show you how to identify different types of fingerprints, and what makes them unique". Pin says starting the episode.
Marinette: But I'm sure it's her! She stole the test answers!
Miss Bustier: That's impossible, Marinette. Lila got the worst grade in the class.
Marinette: Then... she flunked the exam on purpose!
Adrien: Excuse me, Miss Bustier, but everyone here knows it isn't like Marinette to cheat.
Alya: He's right!
Rose: It doesn't make sense! (Everyone agrees)
Miss Bustier: (claps hands) Marinette, Lila, please go to the principal's office until we get to the bottom of this.
"Uhh never leave those two alone together you should have sent someone with them to mediate them so Lila couldn't try anything without another witness". Red complains making Ms Bustier look somewhat ashamed for her future actions.
"Right... I'll remember that".
(Lila opens the door for Marinette and she still is angry)
Scene: Hallway.
Lila: I swore I'd make your life unbearable, Marinette. Let's see how you get out of this one.
Marinette: I'm not falling in your trap, Lila.
Lila: Too late. You already have.
(Lila goes down the stairs)
Marinette: Where are you going?
Lila: You're about to find out! Ready?
(Lila fakes an injury and Mr. Damocles goes outside)
"Uhh Mr Damocles aren't there any security cameras in the school"? Max asks suddenly.
"Well to be honest No for legal reasons we only have cameras outside the school, but it would be wise to get some in the future to fact check claims of bullying other than just going off a student's word". He says thinking it over.
"Well then leave the donation to Moi,daddy has more than enough money to spare and can never say no to my demands". Chloe says proudly.
"Unless your mother demands something instead". Alya jokes not noticing Pin sneaking up to her with something glinting in her paws.
"True".
Mr. Damocles: What's the holdup over here?
Lila: Marinette pushed me down the stairs!
Mr. Damocles: In my office!
Scene: Mr. Damocles' office.
Marinette: But sir, it wasn't me, I didn't do anything-
Lila: I don't know why Marinette doesn't like me! I've really tried to be her friend, but she keeps calling me a liar, getting the others to gang up against me, and now, she's pushing me down the stairs? (fakes sadness)
"Ugh and they didn't take you to the nurse to get you checked out first? She doesn't even look hurt in the slightest, no cuts, no bruises, not even a single hair or piece of clothing out of place. How did we believe this Bull####"! Alya shouts frustrated trying to lunge to the screen but instead finds herself handcuffed to the chair. "Okay what is this"?!
"For everyone's safety in the room, we don't need you to go on a rampage and destroy everything". Pin explains cheekily.
"Fair, but why didn't you do anything to Marinette, if anything you should be just as angry as me right now or worse, everyone is turning their backs on you in the future. But you're not even flinching". She complains looking over to Marinette to find her curled up around Adrien.
"I know it looks bad, but this is the future, it hasn't happened yet, I know you guys are now aware of the true nature of Lila and won't follow her blindly when this happens in real life. After all this is just one possible outcome, and when I do get angry Adrien is here to calm me down". She says looking deeply into her boyfriend's eyes.
"It hasn't been easy let me tell mew". Adrien says breaking the mood.
"Groan and there went that moment dude".
Marinette: Those are total lies!
Mr. Damocles: Go on, Lila.
Lila: She even took a necklace I got from my grandmother - a fox pendant!
"Wait as in the same fox pendant she bought to convince me she was a miraculous user"? Adrien asks slowly.
"Groan great, just how long until she starts telling people that she's Rena Rouge at this rate"? Kim asks not knowing his mistake as Alya's face a lovely shade of red.
"That bitch is going straight to Satan if she tries something like that". She vows.
"So you'll send her back to her Daddy"? Chloe jokes.
"BURN"! Shouts the burn squad.
Mr. Damocles: Took, as in stole?
Marinette: Huh? That's not true! I never stole anything!
Tom: My daughter is not a thief!
Sabine: Why should we believe any of this? You're accusing her without any proof!
Lila: Oh, I have proof.
Scene: Locker room.
Mr. Damocles: Open your locker, please.
(Marinette does so and the pendant falls out of her locker)
Lila: (gasps) My Grandma's pendant!
(Sabine and Marinette gasp)
Marinette: She's making up this whole thing! It wasn't me! I didn't do anything, I swear! (Sabine is crying) You know Lila's lying, don't you, Adrien?
Adrien: Mr. Damocles, I don't think-
"What? they didn't even let him give his opinion or take Lila to the nurse to get her opinion about Lila's quote on quote injuries? That's stupid she does she even know about all her so called disabilities"? Kagami asks, very confused about how this school manages to function.
"Everyone in this school is a sheep unless they're a manipulator end of story". Red says starting the episode back up.
Mr. Damocles: Marinette Dupain-Cheng, you are expelled from this school! (Everyone gasps)
Now it was everyone's turn to go berserk at how extreme measures he took Tom even had to hold back Sabine. This went on for a couple of minutes until they Made sure Mr Damocles knew just what went wrong.(AN I know you all are expecting more from me for this scene but I just cannot bring myself to write more sorry)
Scene: Hawk Moth's lair.
Hawk Moth: Lila Rossi was right! This was worth the wait! The downfall of Marinette brings about the despair of everyone who trusted her. I can feel the huge waves of negative emotions as they come crashing down! (Hawk Moth creates an akuma) Are you ready, Nathalie?
Nathalie: More than ever.
(Hawk Moth places the akuma in her tablet)
Hawk Moth: Catalyst, I'm giving you back the power to transform me into Scarlet Moth.
"Seriously he's trying to do Scarlet Moth again? That didn't work out too well last time". Alix asks unamused
"Or maybe he needs to be more powerful to get Marinette Akumatized since it didn't work so well in Chameleon". Max offers up the possibility
"Huh maybe".
(Nathalie transforms into Catalyst and she infuses her energy into Hawk Moth's cane)
Catalyst: From now on, you are the almighty Scarlet Moth!
(Hawk Moth transforms into said character)
Scarlet Moth: Thanks to you, I can now release as many akumas as I desire! Fly away, my little akumas. Find Marinette and her friends and evilize them all!
Scene: Locker room. Marinette opens the exiting door to be swarmed by a bunch of scarlet akumas that infect her, her parents, and several others.
Scarlet Moth: Verity Queen, Princess Justice, I am Scarlet Moth.
"Please if he thinks he can akumatized me he has another thing coming". Sabine growls like a overprotective mama Kitty
Scene: Hawk Moth's lair.
Scarlet Moth: Since the innocent isn't to be believed anymore, I'm giving you both the power to expose the truth. As for you, my desperate loyal ones, disappointed by she who you once admired so much? I'm glad to have you back. In return, you will bring me Ladybug and Cat Noir's Miraculous. (Marinette begins to remove her earrings but Catalyst starts to cough) What's wrong?
"You took your earrings off before you could be Akumatized, very smart". Master Fu says approvingly
"Thank you master". Marinette says worried about what this episode has to hold
Catalyst: Nothing, everything's fine. Keep going-
Scarlet Moth: Dark wings fall! (Gabriel rushes to Nathalie's aid)
Scene: Locker room.
(Everyone is deakumatized)
Scene: Marinette's room.
Tikki: (voice) If you had been akumatized, nothing could have stopped you from having your Miraculous over to Hawk Moth!
Marinette: And there would have been no more Ladybug. End of story.
Tikki: We can't let that happen!
Marinette: Neither Lila nor Hawk Moth will win. I'm gonna prove my innocence! If only Alya could help me.
Tikki: Alya didn't become akumatized earlier today at school. I'm sure it's because she trusts you. Call her!
"Girl you can count on me to uncover the truth in this matter". Alya says thinking about playing detective.
"And yet you never looked into the truth about anything Lila has lied about in the past"? She asks, still a little angry about Alya not fact checking sooner.
"Girl are you ever going to let that go"?
"Not for a while".
Marinette: You're right!
Scene: Marinette's balcony.
Alya: (on phone) So let's recap, right. You're accused of stealing the answers to the mock exam. Evidence 1: The paper with the answers was found in your schoolbag. You're also accused of pushing Lila down the stairs. No one witnessed the actual incident, but everyone did see Lila at the bottom of the staircase. You're also accused of stealing Lila's necklace, which was, Evidence 2, found inside your locker. And finally, you have a motive. I know for a fact that you've hated Lila from Day 1 because she hangs around Adrien.
Marinette: (sarcastically) I'm so glad I called you. Thanks for your support.
Alya: You're my best friend, Marinette. I totally believe you, but the evidence is stacked against you. The good thing is, the world's greatest reporters always seek the truth, so I'm gonna prove your innocence.
Marinette: (sighs in relief) Thanks, Al!
Alya: First off, a culprit always leaves clues. That's a given. And by following these clues, it will lead us…
"You know, sherlock holmes once said, "When you eliminate the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth!", so in this case it might be best to follow that quote". Pin suggests surprising some people.
"You're a fan of Sherlock Holmes"? Max asks not believing it.
"Nope but Luminous likes watching Detective Conan and the main character is a major Sherlock Holmes fan, and that's his favorite quote". Pin explains groaning remembering the marathons of that show.
"I see".
Marinette: ...to Lila!
Alya: No, to the guilty party. If you're so quick to accuse Lila, you might just overlook another potential baddie!
Marinette: Oh. (laughing) Right.
Alya: Whoever it was had to have touched your locker when they put the necklace in there. I'm gonna go track down some fingerprints.
"If only you thought about the fingerprints sooner"! Red complains.
"Well I'm a journalist not a detective so it's only natural, I didn't think of it sooner".
Sabine: Marinette, can we have a word?
Marinette: I'll meet you later at your place. (hangs up with Alya)
Scene: Tom & Sabine Boulangerie Patisserie.
Sabine: Now listen, honey, we love you but this whole thing has gotten very complicated. And until we've found a new school for you, we've decided that you should help us with the bakery.
Marinette: But I'm telling you, I didn't do anything! If I have spent all my time in here, how am I going to be able to prove that I'm innocent?
Tom: It's fun here at the bakery. You'll see. (gives Marinette an apron)
"I know it's fun in the bakery but still I'll miss school if I'm not allowed to go there". Marinette says with a sigh.
"What's with people and wanting to go to school I just don't get it"? Kim asks scratching his head like the monkey he is.
Scene: Agreste mansion.
Doctor: Once again, Mr. Agreste, make sure she gets lots of rest.
Gabriel: Of course. Thank you, doctor. (Adrien's bodyguard escorts the doctor outside)
Nathalie: Perhaps you can still take advantage of the chaos that Lila Rossi has reeked.
Gabriel: That plan is pointless without you.
Nathalie: You're right. Then I have to... (tries to get up but is too weak)
Gabriel: There will be no more Catalyst, or Mayura. I warned you. (takes Peacock Miraculous from Nathalie's chest) Using a broken Miraculous ends up breaking its wearer. The wounds of the Miraculous are becoming your wounds.
"She won't listen; she loves him too much not to". Alya whispers to Nino.
"True that babe love can make people blind". He whispers back.
"What are you whispering about"? Adrien asks, curious.
"Nothing"!
Nathalie: I don't care, Gabriel. I want to help you.
Gabriel: Not at that cost. Never at that cost again.
Scene: Collège Françoise Dupont. Alya attempts to uncover some fingerprints from Marinette's locker only to discover that Fred had cleaned it. She later asks Lila some questions.
Scene: Agreste mansion. Nathalie wakes up and takes the Peacock Miraculous from a sleeping Gabriel. Nathalie shushes Nooroo.
"She's going solo, I have to say I didn't see this coming". Luka says surprised.
"Love can be a powerful motivator". Kagami agrees.
Scene: Place des Vosges. Nathalie buys an Eiffel Tower keychain from Théo.
Scene: Sewers. Nathalie puts on the Peacock Miraculous and Duusu flies out of it.
Duusu: Yay! You're feeling better already! (Nathalie coughs) Oh no! Spoke too soon! But then, what are we doing here?
"Oh my Kwami he's so cute". Rose squeals at the cuteness of Dussu.
"Does he not get hurt from the miraculous"? Marinette asks curiously.
"To be honest I do not know I've never worked with a damaged miraculous before". Fu admits.
Nathalie: Gabriel would never allow me to do this, but I'm going to create a very powerful sentimonster. The most powerful one that's ever existed.
Duusu: No, don't do that! You should be resting.
Nathalie: Gabriel so desperately wants the Miraculous, and I want to be the one to give it to him!
Duusu: Ah, oh, oh! It's so romantic!
"What is he talking about? My Dad loves my Mom, and Nathalie knows that. She doesn't love him". Adrien says confused.
Cue Le sigh
[Transformation Sequence]
Nathalie: Duusu, spread my feathers! (transforms into Mayura)
"Okay I have to admit that's a nice transformation sequence". Chloe says watching it.
Mayura: (pulls a feather from her fan) Go, my beautiful amok, and bring my creation to life. (creates an amok, puts it inside the keychain, and creates a sentimonster) Ladybug, I am Mayura. You are Cat Noir's true teammate, and you've one goal. To get hold of the Miraculous.
Sentimonster Ladybug: I'm ready, Mayura.
"Wait you can create sentimonsters that look just like people? That's not good news". Max says worried about what this could mean for the future.
"With certain miraculouses all you need is the imagination to make what you want possible". Fu comments remembering his own use with that miraculous.
Scene: Tom & Sabine Boulangerie Patisserie.
Tom: Always make sure you got your right angles there. Then you fold the pastry, folded toward first, about two-thirds of the way. (Marinette's phone rings)
Marinette: (sees that Alya is calling) Can I please answer?
Tom: (declines call) We're not done with our flaky pastry yet.
Scene: Collège Françoise Dupont.
Marinette's voicemail: It's Marinette. Leave a message.
Alya: Okay, so here's the skinny on my investigation so far. No fingerprints, no evidence. Whoever did this was very thorough. I'm sorry. We'll be in touch.
(Adrien, who overhears, sees Lila talking to a bunch of teens from a distance. He goes to confront her when he receives an alert on his phone.)
Nadja: (on the news) This is Nadja Chamack, live from the Arc de Triomphe, where Ladybug is battling against a new supervillain.
Mayura: I am Mayura, and I'm about to annihilate Ladybug. Mwahahaha! (Adrien runs into Ms. Mendeleiev's classroom)
Plagg: Don't tell me, we have to go and help your lady.
Adrien: She and I are on the same team, Plagg. We'll help Marinette, but first…
"And you can't even tell you're walking right into a trap". Alya says with a sigh.
"When it comes to his love life my kitten gets very short sighted". Plagg admits with a sigh.
[Transformation Sequence]
Adrien: Plagg, claws out! (transforms into Cat Noir)
Scene: Top of the Arc de Triomphe.
Cat Noir: Cat Noir to the rescue, M'lady!
Mayura: Pretend to be hurt.
(Mayura supposedly stabs Ladybug with a feather and she acts like she is dying)
Sentimonster ladybug: AAAAAH!
"Okay even if that's a sentimonster you know I won't go down that easily in a fight right"? Marinette demands to know.
"Hehehe right milady". Adrien says avoiding eye contact to not dig his grave any quicker.
Cat Noir: M'lady, no! (rushes to Ladybug's aid)
Scene: Tom & Sabine Boulangerie Patisserie.
Visitor 1: Ladybug's fighting a peacock villain at the Arc de Triomphe!
Visitor 2: Isn't Cat Noir with her?
(Marinette ducks under the table to hide)
Marinette: What is this about Ladybug and Mayura?
Tikki: It must be one of Hawk Moth's traps!
Marinette: I gotta get there before Cat Noir gets tricked!
(Marinette uses a sack of flour to make herself dirty)
Marinette: Oh, I'm suck a klutz! Can I go change my clothes, Dad?
Tom: No need, sweetie. Don't worry, a good baker is never afraid to get dirty. You can change after you're done decorating these gingerbread men.
(Seeing a pastry bag, Marinette aggressively decorates the gingerbread men)
"Not helping me Papa". Marinette groans.
"Well how was I supposed to know you needed to go out and fight super villains"?
"You're not, that's the point of secret identities".
Scene: Top of the Arc de Triomphe.
Cat Noir: You okay?
Sentimonster Ladybug: Don't worry about me. Go after Mayura. Ow! Cat Noir, I don't feel so good...
Cat Noir: There's something wrong, we're supposed to be nearly invulnerable!
(Mayura is hiding)
Mayura: He doesn't suspect a thing. Grab his Miraculous, his ring, before the real Ladybug gets here!
Sentimonster Ladybug: Cat Noir, don't leave me.
Cat Noir: What? What's going on?
Sentimonster Ladybug: (Mayura provides the voice of the sentimonster) I've always gone out of my way to hide my true feelings for you, but I just can't do it anymore.
Cat Noir: But I thought you said you love somebody else!
"I would ask you to believe this dude but you've always let your emotions get the better of you". Nino says with a sigh.
"I would be more offended if you weren't right".
Sentimonster Ladybug: It's... it's over. After all this time, I've realized that you're always here for me, even when I keep rejecting you. Your feelings haven't changed, and mine are growing stronger every day. I can't pretending anymore.
Mayura: Now!
(As soon as the two are about to kiss and the sentimonster is about to grab Cat Noir's Miraculous... Ladybug shoves them both)
Ladybug: Watch it, Cat Noir! You're confusing fantasy with reality!
Cat Noir: You're not Ladybug?
Sentimonster Ladybug: No, she's not me!
Ladybug: She's manipulating you! You know I'm already in love with someone else!
(Cat Noir is confused over which is which)
"We need a code word for when something like this happens". Marinette suggested.
"That's a good idea but what could our words be"? Adrien says thinking it over.
"I have a suggestion". Alya says speaking up as they turn their attention towards her.
"What is it"? Marinette asks.
"When Marinette says Cookie, Adrien says chamebert, you know use your kwami's favorite foods". She suggests.
"That works". Marinette says thinking it over.
"Easy to remember". Adrien says agreeing.
Sentimonster Ladybug: Listen to your heart!
Ladybug: No, listen to your brain!
Cat Noir: You're just an illusion! (throws his stick to Ladybug and she catches it)
Ladybug: See, I'm real enough! (throws it back)
Cat Noir: Impossible! There can't be two Ladybugs!
Sentimonster Ladybug: (Mayura providing the voice) She must be a fan of Ladybug who's been akumatized by Hawk Moth!
Sentimonster Ladybug: Don't fall for her tricks!
Cat Noir: M'lady, no!
Sentimonster Ladybug: We've got a villain to fight! We'll take care of me later.
Cat Noir: That's the lady I know!
Ladybug: Ugh, I can't believe you fell for that! Okay, good job. You win, I am the fake Ladybug, but there's no way I'm letting you Cataclysm my earrings!
"What do you have planned for Marinette"? Kagami asks intrigued as to what she's planning.
"I honestly have no idea".
Mayura: What? Why does she-
Cat Noir: You wanna bet?
Sentimonster Ladybug: Over to you, Cat Noir! (ties Ladybug up while Cat Noir lunges at her)
Mayura: No, not the earrings! (Cat Noir misses)
Ladybug: Hello, Mayura!
Cat Noir: Mayura? But... she looks so real!
Ladybug: Things aren't always what they seem to be at first sight.
Cat Noir: This Ladybug isn't an illusion or an akumatized person!
Ladybug: Uh-huh, she's a sentimonster.
"It must be our first time dealing with a human like sentimonster so it's natural we didn't think it could be possible". Marinette says thinking it over.
"Good, so we'll be prepared for any attempts like this in the future".
Cat Noir: But she's so much more elaborate than any of those we've faced before! She's so perfect, there's nothing monstrous about her at all!
Ladybug: Sorry kitty, but you should have known. I'm nowhere near as perfect as her.
Cat Noir: I love you just the way you are, M'lady.
Ladybug: Got a hint of where the amok is? Look at what Mayura is holding!
Mayura: Whatever it takes, steal their Miraculous and don't hold back!
Sentimonster Ladybug: Senti Charm! (gets a blaster)
Ladybug: I'll show you a real Lucky Charm! (gets a fork)
Cat Noir: Okay, you're definitely the real one.
"Okay i guess that's a good way to prove if you're the real ladybug or not just check to see what the lucky charm is like. Weapons equal fakes, and random items equal the real ladybug". ALya says amused by the lucky charms as always.
"Hey I got a real weapon once". Marinette points out.
"Ya but you only used the laser pointer from it". Chloe reminds her.
"So"?
(The sentimonster starts to shoot from her sticky blaster all across Paris)
Car driver: Hey, I'm stuck!
Scene: Agreste mansion. Gabriel wakes up and discovers Nathalie is missing.
Gabriel: Nathalie? (looks at news footage on his phone) Nooroo, why didn't you wake me up?!
Nooroo: I couldn't bring myself to, Master. You were sleeping so peacefully.
"Aww that's so sweet". Rose coos.
"Nooroo has always been a very caring Kwami to his holders". Wayzz says nostalgic.
Scene: Arc de Troimphe. Sentimonster Ladybug continues to fire her sticky blaster. Ladybug notices Mayura, whose health is declining. Suddenly, Cat Noir pushes her out of the way of a sticky blast.
Ladybug: Mayura looks exhausted. That's our chance to bring her down. And find out who's behind the mask. (she and Cat Noir dodge more sticky blasts when she notices a glass board and gets an idea) Cover your ears!
(Ladybug scratches the glass with the fork, creating an ear-piercing sound that forces Sentimonster Ladybug and Mayura to cover their ears. Mayura drops her Eiffel Tower keychain and Ladybug grabs it)
"Ouch". Everyone winces from the noise.
Mayura: No!
(Ladybug is about to release the amok when she realizes something)
Cat Noir: What's going on?
Ladybug: You're right. There's nothing monstrous about her. Whoever possesses this controls the sentimonster, she couldn't help but follow orders. (gives Sentimonster Ladybug the keychain) Sentimonster, you're free now. I won't give you orders, but I ask you, help us grab Mayura's Miraculous.
Sentimonster Ladybug: Thank you, Ladybug. I will help you.
"Wow that sentimonster is like a puppet just does whatever the string holder commands". Alix says amazed.
"I guess that's one way to think about it". Max agrees thinking it over.
Cat Noir: Are we cool, or are we cool? We could call ourselves Cat Noir and his Ladybugs.
Ladybug: I prefer the bugettes and kitty cat. What do you think?
Sentimonster Ladybug: You're in charge, Ladybug.
Cat Noir: Ugh, I should've guessed.
(Mayura walks backwards while Ladybug, Cat noir and the sentimonster try to defeat her and grab her miraculous)
Mayura: I release you from existence. (Mayura takes away Ladybug's amok, destroying her)
"So she can do that good to know". Marinette says taking note of that for later.
Cat Noir: (enraged) How could you!? (charges at Mayura but Hawk Moth suddenly appears and kicks him away)
Hawk Moth: Getting sentimental on a sentimonster?
Ladybug: Hawk Moth!
Cat Noir: You're the real monster!
Hawk Moth: Oh, that? You'll find out very soon.
(Hawk Moth and the heroes(duo) fight)
Cat Noir: We've missed you, Grandpa! You don't mind me calling you Grandpa, right?
"Well you're not that far off from the truth". Kagami says amused.
Hawk Moth:(kicks Ladybug out) You won't be joking around when I take your Miraculous!
Ladybug: Cat Noir, cover me!
(Ladybug gets a hold of Mayura while Hawk Moth gets ahold of Cat Noir)
Hawk Moth: (evil laugh) Check, Ladybug!
Ladybug: No!
Cat Noir: Cataclysm!
Ladybug: Good move, Kitty. Now all I have to do is grab Mayura's Miraculous and it's over. Checkmate, Hawk Moth. You better surrender.
"He never does". Adrien says knowingly.
Hawk Moth: (evil laugh) All I need to do is wait a few minutes until you and your pet transform back into regular kids. So fragile, so easy to break.
Ladybug: Release him!
Hawk Moth: Release her!
Mayura: Don't mind me.
Cat Noir: Don't listen to him.
(Hawk Moth throws Cat Noir while Ladybug throws Mayura. Ladybug catches Cat Noir.)
Cat Noir: You had Mayura right where you wanted her. I could've managed by myself. Why'd you do that?
Ladybug: (notices Hawk Moth carrying Mayura away) Because we're Ladybug and Cat Noir. Ladybug by itself doesn't sound half as cool.
"Well I hate to say this but a good chunk of the readers on the Ladyblog think Ladybug would do better as a solo act". Alya admits somewhat shyly.
"That does not surprise me as much as I was expecting". Adrien says thinking it over.
Cat Noir: You shouldn't say things like that to me. (leans in for a kiss but Ladybug stops him)
Ladybug: But the real Ladybug's heart still belongs to someone else.
Cat Noir: I should've guessed that, too.
Ladybug: Miraculous Ladybug! (The magic ladybugs repair all the damage)
Cat Noir: I guess even your Miraculous Ladybugs can't bring our Bugette back.
Ladybug: The Peacock's superpower can be so cruel when wrongly used. Even more than the Butterfly's one.
"Agreed". Says the whole audience.
Scene: Agreste mansion.
Gabriel: You've disobeyed me again, Nathalie. And you put yourself in danger for nothing.
(Nathalie coughs and her glasses fall to the floor)
Gabriel: (puts her glasses back on) Your idea was brilliant, but you don't need a Miraculous to help me.
Nathalie: There is something else you needed Mayura for. To find the Guardian.
Gabriel: I'm not so sure anymore.
Nathalie: (gives Gabriel the Peacock Miraculous) If you ever need Mayura again, I'll be here for you.
"Wait, he's willing to let her put herself in danger? He'll lose more allies thinking that way with a damaged miraculous". Fu says worried for Nathalie's health using a broken miraculous.
Scene: Canal Saint-Martin. Adrien is driven there by his bodyguard and Nathalie for a photoshoot.
Adrien: (gets out of the car) Thank you.
Vincent: Oh, Adriano! ¿Cómo estás?
Adrien: I'm good. Thanks, Giuseppe. (notices Lila from afar) Lila?
Vincent: Do you know each other? Oh my, your papa's new muse is incredible! She's been all around the world, she knows all the celebrities, and she's Italian, just like me!
Lila: Hi, Adrien. You're gonna give me tons of tips, because I'm not as experienced as you are.
Adrien: Would you mind leaving us alone for a second?
Vincent: Sure. (leaves with the makeup artist)
Adrien: (sits next to Lila) I warned you once already, Lila, but you didn't listen. You hurt my friend Marinette, and that's not okay.
Lila: Me? Hurting Marinette? But she's the one who-
Adrien: I don't know how to prove you lied Lila, because you're good at it. So you'll just have to come up with another lie, just as convincing. Only this time it's gonna prove Marinette's innocent.
Lila: Why would I do that, Adrien?
Adrien: Because we're friends, aren't we?
"An eye for an eye, very dangerous technique in this situation Adrien". Kagami says, unsure about this plan.
"I needed to do something, it's not like she would confess the truth otherwise". Adrien says defending himself.
(Lila looks over at Nathalie, who gives her an approving nod from the Agreste car)
Scene: Mr. Damocles' office.
Lila: And because of this rare disease, sometimes I can't control things I say. I'm really sorry, Marinette.
"The only thing like that is called being a pathological Liar". Max says knowingly.
"Doesn't matter because someone will believe her no matter what". Chloe says sourly looking over at Mr Damocles in the back of the room.
"Sorry".
Mr. Damocles: Thank you for your confession, Lila. It's very moving. Marinette, you will of course be allowed back in the school tomorrow. (blows nose)
Scene: Outside Mr. Damocles' office.
Marinette: People should know better. Things aren't always what they seem to be at first sight. So look, I don't know why you felt the urge to start all this, or why all of a sudden you lied to fix this mess, but I'm glad to see you're capable of coming back to your senses. Sometimes.
Lila: As you said, things aren't always what they seem to be at first sight. (walks off)
"I have a feeling this won't be the last trick we see from Lila''. Alix grumbles.
"Oh not by a long shot". Red confirms.
Scene: Marinette's house.
Tom: I knew my daughter was innocent all along.
Sabine: Oh, aren't those your classmates?
Alec: (on TV) And this week, we'll be visiting the set of Gabriel Agreste's most recent photoshoot for an exclusive interview with his new muse, Miss Lila.
Sabine: I'm glad her disease doesn't stop her from following her dreams.
"Oh just until she starts spreading her lies on tv where people will try and prove their truth". Alya says wanting to see the chaos.
"Well that's the end of the episode I know you're probably enraged by it so I won't ask you what you thought about it". Red says, stopping the episode, as Luminous makes her way back into the room.
"Well I hope you guys see why I don't want to rewatch some of the episodes". Is the first thing Luminous says as she re-enters the room.
"No problem, I would hate watching Lila too". Alya says as Pin takes the handcuffs off her wrist.
"So Pin mentioned something earlier about you giving some fingerprinting lessons, so we can get actual evidence on Lila in the future". Alya says deviously.
"Yes I can teach you how to collect fingerprints, and about identifying the different types of prints a person has, but let's do that later during the lunch break okay"? Luminous says happy to actually do something with that knowledge.
"Sounds good but I'm going to pick the next episode if you don't mind". Alya says walking up to the hat.
"Go ahead". Luminous says stepping aside.
"The next episode is"...
