I DON'T OWN THE SHOW!
The next day, the class wake up for the final day of binge-watching their show. After they all had breakfast, they walked into the theatre room and sat down in their assigned seats. Well other than Marinette who sat in Adrien's lap.
"Okay, so today's first episode is, Chat Blanc," Aneet says slowly.
"No, no, no, no, no!", Marinette shrieks, tears running down her face.
"Hey, Mari, it's okay," Adrien attempts to comfort her.
"No, no," she whimpers, eyes squeezed shut as she curled herself up into a ball.
"Who's Chat Blanc?", Nino asks.
"No! Don't say his name!", Marinette shrieks covering her ears.
"It's Adrien akumatized," Aneet says.
"No!", Marinette shrieks. Adrien holds Marinette close as he responds.
"What? But I've never been akumatized," Adrien says in confusion.
"Just watch and you'll see. You too Marinette," Aneet says.
"No, please no," she whimpers.
"Marinette, I know this has been haunting you for a long time, but if you just see what happens, you'll be fine," Aneet says.
"O-okay," Marinette says.
Scene: The Agreste Mansion's basement. Gabriel is visiting Emilie, who is still unconscious.
Gabriel: Emilie, I miss you every moment. But one day, I will get the Miraculous of Ladybug and Cat Noir, repair the mistakes of the past, and make sure you return to us.
"Not gonna happen," Adrien growls.
Scene: Outside Collège Françoise Dupont. Alix is navigating around some cones on her rollerskates.
Alya: Today's the day, I can feel it!
"It should have been," Marinette says quietly, only Adrien hearing, but he stayed quiet.
Alix: Bet you my skates she won't do it.
Rose: And I'll bet my favorite unicorn plush that she will!
"Also, Rose was right," Aneet says.
"Really?!", Rose squeals.
"Yup." Rose looks over at Alix who reluctantly hands over the unicorn plush. (Don't ask why she had it.) Rose squeals in delight.
Mylène: Oh, Marinette.
Alya, Rose, and Juleka: (looks up) What? (sees Marinette) Aw...
"Not again," Kim groans.
Marinette: I was thinking maybe Adrien doesn't like berets, or what if he hates it when people celebrate his fifth name's day? Or... maybe he wouldn't want to know that I love him?
"Of course I'd want to know," Adrien says.
"I-I wish I didn't listen to Rose," Marinette whimpers.
"What? Why?", Alya asks. Marinette stays quiet.
Alix: (sticks her hand out to Rose) Don't worry, Princess Twinkle Peach will be happy with me.
(Rose hands her unicorn plush to Alix)
Alya: The only way you'll know is to tell him how you really feel!
"I agree with Alya on this one dudette," Nino says.
Marinette: I know, but... (reaches for something in a picnic basket but Rose shuts it)
Rose: That's it, Marinette! No more picnics, sleepovers, or going to the movies with us until you give him that gift! You made that hat for Saint Athanasius Day, which is today! How is Adrien's supposed to know you're thinking of him on his fifth name's day if you don't give him your gift?
"Fifth name?", Nathaniel asks.
"I have four middle names," Adrien says.
"So what's your full name then?", Max asks.
"Adrien Alexandre Anthony Andre Athanasius Agreste," Adrien says.
"Cool, I guess," Ivan says.
Alya: She's right. Today is the day!
All the girls except Marinette: GO, GO, GO, GO, GO, GO!
"Wait a minute, isn't that the present you said that me 'Brazillian fan club' sent?", Adrien asked. Marinette slowly nodded.
Mylène: Rise and shine! Behold, the goddess of self-confidence has awakened!
(Marinette runs up the stairs as her friends are chanting.)
Alya: And don't forget the card!
"I wish I didn't sign it," Marinette whimpers. Adrien frowns in confusion.
Scene: Subway tunnel
Tikki: Are you really gonna do this?
Marinette: I am, Tikki, and you know what I won't take for an answer?
"You took it as an answer didn't you?", Alya says, laughing. Marinette stayed quiet which left Alya worried.
Scene: Near the Agreste Mansion
Nathalie: (through camera speakers) No.
Marinette: Okay, well, um uh, when will he be back?
Nathalie: (through speakers) I can't tell you. Goodbye, young lady. (camera gets covered)
"She's cold," Lila says with a frown.
"Uncle Gabriel is worse," Chloe says.
Marinette: (checking phone) But Adrien's fencing class ended 27 minutes ago! He should be back by now!
"STALKERNETTE!", chorused through the theatre but Marinette paid it no mind, further worrying her classmates.
Tikki: Maybe you can give him his present tomorrow at school?
Marinette: No. You heard what Rose said. I can't back out again. (runs farther) Since he's not back yet, I can go through the window!
Tikki: Oh, no no no! You know it's not a good idea to use your powers for personal reasons.
"I wish I listened," Marinette whispered, a tear running down her face. Adrien quickly wiped it away but failed to give any more comfort.
Marinette: I'll be quick, Tikki, no one will ever know! (runs past bodyguard's car)
(Adrien notices Marinette and smiles. Marinette runs into an alleyway.)
"He loves her," Alya teases.
"Of course I do!", Adrien replies. Unusually, Marinette didn't turn bright red. More worry.
"Marinette?", Adrien whispers softly. Marinette's eyes stayed glued to the screen. She wanted to look away and not re-live it but she couldn't. Adrien frowned.
"Marinette?", he says slightly louder. Marinette still didn't respond. Adrien looked at the girl with immense worry, turning his gaze back to the show after a few seconds.
Marinette: Tikki, spots on!
(Marinette enters Adrien's room through the open window.)
Scene: Adrien's room
Ladybug: (gasps) Adrien's trophies... Adrien's basketball hoop... Adrien's foosball table... (lightly brushes her hand against his desk) Adrien's desk... Adrien's video games... (lies on his bed) Adrien's bed...
The class didn't laugh this time as all of them looked at Marinette in worry. The girl hasn't moved her gaze or said anything besides her occasional mumbling since the episode started.
Scene: In the Agreste courtyard
(Adrien's bodyguard drives in and Nathalie is standing at the doorway.)
Nathalie: You're very late, Adrien.
Adrien: (holds the medal around his neck) The awards ceremony took longer than expected. Then we gave Kagami a ride home. (enters the house, then turns around) Will you let my father know I won?
"He wouldn't even care," Adrien says, expecting to finally get Marinette's attention. It didn't work. Normally she'd just immediately squeeze his hand or something. Whatever his akumatized form was really shook her up.
Nathalie: As soon as he's done with his work.
Scene: Adrien's room
Ladybug: (sniffs Adrien's pillow) Adrien's scent... (sits up) Adrien's present! (places the gift on his pillow and begins to leave but turns around) The card, I forgot the card! Uh... (picks up a pencil from Adrien's desk) This should do. "Signed, Marinette." (puts the pencil back and leaves)
"I don't get it. She actually signed it for once so what could've happened?", Kagami asks, perplexed. No one responded, being just as confused as she was.
(Just as she swings out the window, Adrien opens the door.)
Adrien: Ladybug? (unwraps the gift) Why would Ladybug leave me a gift from Marinette? And with a heart embroidered on it?
"That never happened," Adrien says confusing the class further.
Plagg: Uh well, it's obvious because Marinette asked her to!
Adrien: Or because... Ladybug and Marinette are the same person! (shows picture flashbacks)
"I swear I'd remember that," Adrien says.
(The flashback opens from Glaciator)
Ladybug: You're my friend, and I'd never want to lie to a friend.
Cat Noir: But why do you think you'd be lying?
Ladybug: 'Cause... there's this boy, I...
(The flashback ends)
Adrien: Me!
Plagg: No no no no! (tries pulling the beret away from Adrien) It doesn't make any sense, Marinette is Marinette and Ladybug is—
"Plagg is doing something smart for once," Tikki praises.
"I do plenty of smart things!", the kwamii in question defends.
"Suuuure."
Adrien: Marinette! (holds the beret closer to him)
Plagg: Okay Adrien, this whole thing smells like rotten cheese. You know you aren't supposed to know each other's secret identities!
Adrien: Just because I know her secret identity doesn't mean she has to know about mine. Everything will be just fine, I promise. (wears the beret and runs out)
"It wasn't," Marinette whispers. Adrien kept running through scenarios that could've happened in his head. What on earth happened to his Princess.
Plagg: Adrien! Putting a smelly piece of cheese in a box doesn't stop it from smelling!
Scene: Rooftops
(A portal opens and Bunnyx steps out.)
Ladybug: Bunnyx?
Bunnyx: Minibug, something happened today that caused a major disaster in the future. I'm not sure what it was or when it happened exactly. Nothing unusual to report on your side?
"This all makes sense now! Adrien got akumatized in a future that doesn't exist anymore!", Alix exclaims.
"Yeah, but we still have no clue about what has Marinette so shaken up," Adrien says.
"Isn't it obvious? You're her everything and she had to fight against you instead of by her side," Chloe points out.
"I guess but what exactly happened during the fight or why I got akumatized," Adrien says.
"Fair," Alya states.
Ladybug: Uh...
Bunnyx: Think, Minibug, think!
Ladybug: Uh... no?
"I was wrong," Marinette whispers.
Bunnyx: Ugh! In my burrow, now! (grabs Ladybug's wrist and pulls her into her time travel burrow)
"Wait a minute, couldn't Bunnix just have told Marinette to not sign the gift instead of taking her to fight Adrien," Sabrina asks.
"I've been thinking the same thing for a long time," Aneet says.
Scene: Burrow
Ladybug: Wow, it's a lot bigger on the inside!
(Bunnyx puts her hand on a circle. Ladybug runs to two other circles and does the same, unblurring one with a dinosaur and the other of a city. Bunnyx notices and puts a bowl on top of Ladybug's head.)
"You're too curious," Alix says. Marinette once again doesn't respond.
Ladybug: What's that for?
Bunnyx: You wanna know what you're getting for your next birthday?
Ladybug: No, of course not.
Bunnyx: Exactly. (guides Ladybug to one of the circles)
Ladybug: What about you? You know about all your birthday presents?
"Is this a bad time to mention Alix is gonna be Bunnix?", Aneet asks.
"WHAT!?", the class yell in shock.
"Yup."
Bunnyx: I know about... some of them. (unblurs one of the circles, showing a flashback to Alix getting the watch.) Normally, we have to avoid interfering with past or present events as much as possible, but this is really serious, Minibug. (tries to push Ladybug into one of the circles but her right hand glitches and becomes intangible) Our future is in danger! I need your help. (uses her left hand to push Ladybug in)
Scene: Alternate Paris
(Bunnyx takes the bowl off Ladybug's head.)
Ladybug: What happened here?
"No, no, no, no, NO!", Marinette shrieks.
"Mari, Mari, it's okay. I'm right here. I'm not getting akumatized," Adrien says, forcing Marinette to look at him.
"O-okay," she says, calming down then looking back to the screen.
Bunnyx: The less you know about the future, the better. Just do your thing: capture the Akuma and restore order. Then, the train will be back on track.
Commercial interlude scene: End of Act 1. Beginning of Act 2.
(cuts to the Moon looking different and the Eiffel Tower which collapsed; Bunnyx is about to return to her burrow.)
"What the hell happened," Luka asks, taken aback.
Ladybug: You're not staying?
Bunnyx: Let's say I gotta stand ready to jump back into time and try something else, in case you fail. Mwah! (returns to her burrow)
(Once she's gone, there is future Cat Noir singing to himself from distance. Cat Noir has been akumatized into Cat Blanc, completely white and have a blue eyes)
"Is that, me?", Adrien asks in disbelief.
"Yeah," Aneet says.
Cat Blanc: (singing from a distance) Little kitty on a roof...
Ladybug: Cat... Noir?
Cat Blanc: (singing from a distance) ...all alone without his lady.
Marinette squeezed her eyes shut, not wanting to see this part.
Ladybug: Cat Noir.
Cat Blanc: (turns around) M'lady? I thought I'd lost you! (jumps down) Oh, I was FELINE so sad that you were gone!
Ladybug: (backs away as Cat Blanc steps closer) What's happened to you? No, don't tell me. We're gonna fix everything!
Cat Blanc: Of course we're gonna fix everything! (crawls around Ladybug like a cat) Now that you're back and now that you're going to... (stands up and tries to grab her earrings) GIVE ME YOUR MIRACULOUS!
"I would never," Adrien says.
"You were the last person on earth and you were alone for years. Of course you would've," Aneet says.
"Y-years?", Marinette asks in disbelief.
"Years."
Ladybug: (kicks him away) My Miraculous? What's wrong with you, Cat Noir?
Cat Blanc: Sorry, I didn't mean to be rude, m'lady. Could you please hand me your Miraculous, please? Cat Blanc has... gotten into some mischief.
"You still call her M'lady," Nino smiles.
Ladybug: You've been akumatized, Cat Noir. (walks toward Cat Blanc) You don't need my Miraculous, you need me to de-evilise you. Let me help you. (wipes away Cat Blanc's tear)
Cat Blanc: (whispers, heartbroken) Save me...
Marinette starts crying once more. Adrien pulls her closer towards him.
Ladybug: (sympathetically) My poor kitty... tell me, (holds Cat Blanc's bell) do you remember where the Akuma went? (looks at his belt and holds up his hand)
Cat Blanc: (grabs her hand and puts it on his chest) Here! But it's already broken! (tries grabbing Ladybug's earrings)
(Ladybug makes Cat Blanc fall. She crawls away and jumps off a building, with Cat Blanc following after her.)
Cat Blanc: NOW YOU'RE BREAKING MORE THAN MY HEART, MARINETTE!
"Now I get why you didn't want me to know who you are," Adrien says, finally understanding. Marinette didn't answer.
Ladybug: (shocked by hearing what Cat Blanc said) What?! (lands and inches away from Cat Blanc) What did you say?
Cat Blanc: Give me a hug... MARINETTE!
"If that happened to me, I'd be petrified," Alya says.
"Same," Chloe adds.
Ladybug: You're wrong! I'm not Marinette! (seen from burrow) It's impossible, I never told you anything!
(Bunnyx rewinds)
Flashback scene: Adrien's room
Adrien: (opens the door) Ladybug?
Scene: Burrow
Bunnyx: Oh no, what have you done, Marinette?! (rewinds)
Alternate flashback scene: Collège Françoise Dupont
Marinette: (running) Ta-da, I did it!
"Wait, why was her hair down?", Rose asks.
"No one knows," Aneet says.
(Marinette hugs her friends.)
Alya: I'm so proud of you.
Mylène: You rock!
(Rose takes back her plushie from Alix and Bunnyx immediately pauses the flashback.)
"That didn't happen," Alix frowns.
Scene: Burrow
Bunnyx: How is this possible? That's not what I remember! (holds up unicorn plushie, which glitches and disappears; rewinds)
Alternate flashback scene: Collège Françoise Dupont
Alya: So how did you get to Adrien?
Marinette: I... I was very convincing?
"Lies," Alya mutters.
Adrien: Marinette!
(The girls look towards Adrien.)
Adrien: I have something to tell you.
"And loverboy's gonna confess," Chloe teases.
(Rose pushes Marinette to Adrien.)
Adrien: I've realized... I've realized that you're not just a friend to me. I've always felt like you were more than that. (holds Marinette's hand) And now I know why.
"Ooooooooooh," the girls squeal.
Alya, Rose, Juleka, and Mylène: Ohhh?
Marinette: Does that... does this mean that you... you like the beret?
"Marinette you idiot," Alya says, facepalming.
Adrien: (smiles) It means that I love you. (Marinette and Adrien kiss)
"CUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUTE!", they squeal.
Scene: Burrow
Bunnyx: It's worse than I thought. Come on, Ladybug, quick!
"How is our ship finally happening bad!?", Alya demands.
"You'll see."
Scene: Alternate Paris
(Ladybug lands.)
Cat Blanc: Give me your Miraculous so I can make everything go back to the way it was! MEGA-CATACLYSM! (fires)
(Ladybug jumps off. The building collapses and causes a flood.)
Marinette looks on, frozen in fear.
Scene: Burrow
Bunnyx: (falls back) Oh no, what happened?! (gets up and rewinds)

TVi report
Nadja: It's heartbreak for all the girls of Paris as supermodel Adrien Agreste has a girlfriend—classmate Marinette Dupain-Cheng.
Scene: Burrow
Bunnyx: You have to succeed, Ladybug. Capture his Akuma, do it now!
Scene: Alternate Paris
Cat Blanc: Things were PURR-FECT until Hawk Moth found out about everything. Once the cat is out of the bag, it's only a matter of time 'till everyone knows. It was our love that did this to the world, m'lady.
"So it was father's fault," Adrien says.
Scene: Burrow
Bunnyx: But how did it?
Alternate flashback scene: Tom & Sabine Boulangerie Patisserie
(Nathalie is holding a tablet in her hand.)
Gabriel: [from tablet] Miss Dupain-Cheng, your relationship with my son is detrimental to the Gabriel Agreste brand. I demand that you stop seeing him at once.
"S-so, it wasn't my fault," Marinette whispers in disbelief.
Marinette: But... I didn't do anything.
Tom: She loves Adrien and Adrien loves her! You can't stop them—
Gabriel: [from tablet] If you refuse, I will not hesitate to withdraw Adrien from school, and he will never see his friends again.
"Someone let me go kick that asshole in the face," Adrien growls. No one gets to hurt his lady.
Marinette: (drops tray of heart macarons) Adrien doesn't deserve this!
Gabriel: [from tablet] Then make the right choice. (Heartbroken, Marinette starts crying.)
"I'm with you!", Alya adds.
"No one makes our cupcake sad," Kim growls. (Backstory: Nino, Kim, & Marinette were really close when they were little and the two boys used to call her cupcake cuz she had this cupcake plushie that she'd take everywhere.)
Tom: (to Nathalie; angrily) Get out of my bakery! Now!
Alternate flashback scene: The Agreste Mansion
(The gates open and Adrien's bodyguard opens the door.)
Adrien: Marinette? Why won't you come in? What's wrong?
Marinette: Adrien... I... forgive me, we're just... we're just not right for each other.
"Lies. You two are soulmates," Tikki says.
Adrien: What are you talking about? Of course we are, we love each other!
Marinette: No. I don't love you... anymore. (runs away crying)
"More lies," Plagg says.
Adrien: No... Marinette! (runs after her, but his bodyguard won't let him in, to his bodyguard) Please let me through, it can't end like this! It can't end at all! I love her!
"I've never seen you cry before. You must really love her," Nino says.
"With all my heart," Adrien smiles. Marinette smiles a bit.
"I love you too," Marinette whispers, only Adrien hearing her.
Nathalie: (on phone) Everything is going as planned, sir.
Alternate flashback scene: Hawk Moth's lair
Hawk Moth: I've never felt such utter despair! (corrupts a butterfly) Marinette Dupain-Cheng will be my ultimate masterpiece! Fly away, my beautiful Akuma, and evilise this broken heart! (The Akuma flies away)
Alternate flashback scene: The Agreste Mansion
(Marinette sits on a stairway leading to the train station and continues crying.)
Adrien: (begging, with tears on his eyes) I beg you, please!
(His bodyguard nods and lets him out.)
"I swear, he's the only person in that house who loves you," Aneet says.
"It's true," Adrien says.
Adrien: (runs to Marinette and sees the Akuma) Marinette, MOVE!
Marinette: Adrien? (turns around)
Adrien: Plagg, claws out!
"No,' Marinette whispers.
(Completely panicked, Adrien transforms into Cat Noir. Marinette is shocked to learn that Adrien was Cat Noir all along)
Cat Noir: CATACLYSM! (cataclysms the Akuma, destroying it)
Marinette: Adrien!
Cat Noir: You were about to be akumatized. I didn't have a choice, m'lady.
Marinette: M'lady? But how did you know? I thought our identities were supposed to remain a secret! (drops umbrella and hugs Cat Noir tearfully)
"Awwwwwwwwwwww," Chloe and Alya squeal.
Cat Noir: Everything will be okay, I promise.
Hawk Moth: (from phone) Nathalie? Nathalie!
Nathalie: (on phone) It's Adrien. Your son... he's... he's Cat Noir.
Alternate flashback scene: Hawk Moth's lair, Hawk Moth drops his cane and is shocked that Cat Noir was his son all along.
Hawk Moth: (shocked) Cat Noir, my own son? (smirks) The Miraculous will soon be mine!
"This fucker should've just stopped right there but no. He just had to akumatize his own son," Aneet grumbles.
"After we go back home, let's all go kill that motherfucker okay?", Alya says. Everyone immediately agrees.
Scene: Burrow
(Most of the circles become a static screen.)
Bunnyx: (runs away and trips, noticing her leg has become intangible) Hurry up!
Scene: Alternate Paris
Cat Blanc: I'll find you, m'lady! And when I do, you'll give me your Miraculous!
Ladybug: (attacks from behind and grabs his staff) Time to de-evil—!
Cat Blanc: Looking for my Akuma, m'lady?! (tries to attack Ladybug with lights, but she dodges it) There's a faster way to make this end, you know. You just need to hand over.. YOUR MIRACULOUS!
"Was his Akuma in the bell?", Max asks.
"Maybe," Aneet says not wanting to spoil anything.
Ladybug: Never! Lucky Charm!
(An eraser is summoned.)
Cat Blanc: An eraser? I'd like to erase the past too, but there's only one way to do that. (summons a small Cataclysm at the tips of his fingers and starts walking towards her) You know that by merging our Miraculous together, we'd be granted one wish, right? Any wish we wanted. Well, my wish would be to fix everything, so we could be in love again. And have a hamster, too. You've always dreamed of having one. We'll call it— (tries grabbing Ladybug's earrings)
"I was so pissed when I first watched this because they still didn't tell us," Aneet says.
Ladybug: (grabs his belt and rips it) Time to de-evil— (No Akuma emerges, and she looks at the belt in confusion)
Cat Blanc: (upset) You're not even listening. You don't understand. (uses the small cataclysm and disappointedly crumbles the ground in front of Ladybug)
Adrien wraps his arms around Marinette.
(Ladybug falls into the water, screaming.)
Commercial interlude scene: End of Act 2. Beginning of Act 3.
(Ladybug swims down and sees two Cataclysmed people: Hawk Moth and herself. She swims towards the future version of herself and touches it, but it crumbles to dust and disappears.)
"Oh. My. God," Adrien says.
Alternate flashback scene: The Agreste Mansion's basement
(Hawk Moth falls in through the ceiling and Ladybug and Cat Noir jump down.)
Ladybug: You're done, Hawk Moth! Give us back your Miraculous!
"How did they not notice they were in Adrien's house?", Max asks.
"Because you're all stupid," Aneet says.
Cat Noir: (throws Hawk Moth's cane in the water) You know what they say. The wave of a moth's wing can set off a CATACLYSM!
Hawk Moth: I would put that Cataclysm away if I were you... Adrien.
Cat Noir: How do you— (the lid of Emilie's coffin opens and he sees Emilie) Mother?
"So that's why," Adrien says.
"It wasn't my fault. It wasn't my fault. It wasn't my fault!", Marinette cries in relief.
"Mari?", Adrien asks. She turns to him.
"It's not my fault," she says in disbelief.
"I see that, and now it won't happen again," Adrien says, smiling.
Hawk Moth: I'm doing it for her, Adrien. For you. For us.
Cat Noir: Father? (Ladybug looks at him in shock) Why? Why? Why? (angrily runs up to Hawk Moth with cataclysm) Why..?
(Hawk moth smiles evilly, reclaims his cane, and hits Cat Noir across the city and to the Eiffel Tower.)
Alternate flashback scene: Eiffel Tower
Hawk Moth: We can save your mother using your Miraculous and hers!
Cat Noir: No, just stop!
Ladybug: (lands) Don't listen to him! You know there'd be a terrible price to pay in exchange!
"The price would either be you or Nathalie," Aneet says.
"What?"
"You two are the only two who ever came remotely close to how much he loved your mother," Aneet says.
Hawk Moth: If she really loved you, she'd let you save your mother! (points accusingly at Ladybug)
Cat Noir: Stop it! Stop it! STOP IT!
Hawk Moth: (releases an Akuma and it enters Cat Noir's bell) Cat Blanc, I'm giving you the infinite power of destruction! Together you and I will seize Ladybug's Miraculous and awaken your mother! Obey!
Cat Noir: (tries to fight back but fails) I'm sorry, Ladybug! (he succumbs his akumatization and transforms into Cat Blanc)
"I really want to kill this guy now," Alya growls.
"Babe, calm down," Nino says.
Hawk Moth: Seize her Miraculous, my son!
(Cat Blanc lifts his arm to Ladybug.)
"What? No! Never!", Adrien exclaims.
Ladybug: No Adrien, you have to resist!
(Cat Blanc changes his mind and points his arm to Hawk Moth.)
Hawk Moth: How dare you! Not me, Adrien!
Cat Blanc: I... I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO! (makes the Cataclysm huge) M'lady...
Ladybug: My prince..
Tears streamed down Aneet's face. (This happened in real life when I watched this episode.)
"Are you okay?", Chloe asks.
"I'm way too fucking emotional but other than that I am a-okay," Aneet says.
"Okaaaaaay?"
(The Cataclysm destroys Ladybug, Hawk Moth, Paris, everyone in it, and splits the moon in half.)
Scene: Burrow
Bunnyx: Fix this nightmare, Ladybug! Please!
Scene: Alternate Paris. Ladybug returns to the surface and lands on the Eiffel tower, she confronts Cat Blanc
Ladybug: (furious) What did you do to them?!
Cat Blanc: I didn't mean to.. (looks at her angrily) Why won't you try and help me fix it?! (spins around to face her) The simple truth is you don't love me anymore! So I MIGHT as well destroy YOU, ME, OUR MEMORIES... EVERYTHING! (Cat Blanc starts an ultimate Cataclysm that reaches the galaxies.)
"This is the most emotional episode of the season," Aneet says.
"Which season is this in?", Adrien asks.
"Season 3," Aneet says.
"What? Aren't there like 26 episodes in each season of a show?", Nino asks.
"I'm not showing you guys every episode," Aneet says.
"Why?", Nathaniel asks.
"I'm only showing you the ones that matter."
Ladybug: NO!
Scene: Burrow
Bunnyx: (horrified) No, no, no, NO! He's about to trigger the end of the world, Ladybug!
Scene: Alternate Paris
Ladybug: (frantically runs up to Cat Blanc) OKAY! OKAY! I'LL GIVE YOU MY MIRACULOUS, CAT NOIR!
(Cat Blanc stops the Cataclysm and closes his eyes)
Cat Blanc: I'm not Cat Noir anymore. (opens his eyes) I'm Cat Blanc. (flicks his bell and smiles)
"Creepy," Chloe says.
(Ladybug walks up to him, puts her hands on his chest, and smiles at him)
Ladybug: You will always be Cat Noir to me. (leans in as if to kiss him but grabs his bell and crushes it, releasing the Akuma) No more evildoing for you, little Akuma. Time to de-evilise Cat Noir! (catches the akuma with her yo-yo) Gotcha! (releases the akuma, turning it back into a normal butterfly) Bye-bye, little butterfly.
"Nice to see even akumatized Chat loves her," Alya smiles.
"Yeah, I guess he does," Marinette says looking up at Adrien.
(Cat Blanc turns back into Cat Noir and sees a butterfly at his hands and smiles.)
Bunnyx: (from her Burrow) Yes, yes! You did it, Minibug!
Cat Noir: Marinette, what happened? (she looks down and closes her eyes, saddened) What's wrong?
Ladybug: You're still calling me Marinette. You're not supposed to know who I am. It means that if I use my Miraculous Ladybug to fix everything now...
"He'll still have the memory," Alix finishes alongside her onscreen future self.
Bunnyx: You'll still have this memory of her.
(Cat Noir lets the butterfly go and looks sad.)
Ladybug: (with her Lucky Vision spots the eraser and the Burrow) Of course! (hugs Cat Noir) I'm gonna fix everything, Cat Noir, I promise!
Cat Noir: (smiles) I know.
"CUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUTE!", the girls squeal once again.
Scene: Burrow
Ladybug: (jumps in) Bring me back 10 minutes before the moment you came to get me, quick! I don't have much time before I transform back and lose my Lucky Charm. (puts the bowl on top of head) I have to erase my mistake to get things back to normal. This future is a result from something that happened in the past. I must not throw my eraser here and now, I must throw my eraser back then!
"You're acting like this didn't phase you at all, what happened?", Luka asks.
"It started when I had a nightmare that night," Marinette explains.
Bunnyx: Do you know how Cat Noir found out about your secret identity?
Ladybug: I think so. When I went into Adrien's house as Ladybug, he probably saw me. He figured out that Ladybug is Marinette because of the note written on the gift. But I'm not sure what happened next.
Bunnyx: He probably told his friend Nino, who told Alya, who wrote about it on the Ladyblog.
"I would never!", Alya says, offended.
Ladybug: Mm.. They would never do that. But Adrien probably told someone, who told someone else, and so on, until it was all over the news! The best-kept secrets are the ones you never share.
"Of course not!", Adrien says.
"Well, I didn't know that!", Marinette snaps back. The class smile because the Marinette they know is back.
Scene: The Agreste Mansion
Ladybug from 10 minutes: Signed, Marinette. (Ladybug pushes her away) What the—
Ladybug: (erases her name) Trust me, it's better this way. (throws up eraser) Miraculous Ladybug! (throws her Lucky Charm up in air and reverts everything)
Scene: Burrow
Bunnyx: (looks at unicorn plushie) WOO-HOO!
"I thought you didn't like girly things," Marinette says, looking over at Alix.
"We never mention this again," Alix scowls.
Scene: The Agreste Mansion
Adrien: (opens door) Ladybug?
Ladybug: Oh, Adrien Agreste! What a surprise! I brought you a gift from... your fan club in Brazil! There's a postal strike over there but they really wanted it to arrive today for Saint Athanasius Day.
"Now that I hear that again, it's such a bad excuse," Adrien says.
"I panicked okay?", Marinette retorts.
Adrien: (closes door) That's my... fifth name.
Ladybug: Wow, they must be serious fans to know that about you! Well, happy Fifth Name's Day! (leaves through the window)
Adrien: Uh... thank you. (smiles)
Plagg: Ugh, why would anyone send a beret when they could send cheese instead?
"Plagg!"
Scene: Rooftops
Ladybug: Hey, Bunnyx, when you travel through time, do you forget what happened when you're done?
Bunnyx: What's seen can't be unseen. I know who you are, Minibug, and a few other things too.
Ladybug: Do you know who Hawk Moth is?
"Probably," Adrien says.
Bunnyx: Even if I did, I couldn't tell you. There's a time for everything and time is a fragile thing. That's the reason you picked me, Minibug. I know how to keep a secret. (enters Burrow)
Scene: Collège Françoise Dupont
Marinette: He wasn't home. His fencing competition probably ended later than expected.
Alya: What did you do with the gift?
Marinette: Oh, I dropped it off at home before coming back here. I was gonna tell you that I've given it to him but the truth is I just couldn't do it! But I promise next time, it'll work. You know what they say, 563rd time's a charm!
"563!?", Adrien exclaims in disbelief.
"I was at around 736 when we came here," Marinette says.
"Never change bug."
(Marinette's friends hug her)
Scene: Rooftops
Cat Noir: (singing) Little kitty on a roof, all alone without his lady... (Ladybug lands next to him) Hey Bugaboo. So what was that sudden call for?
Ladybug: I did it. (leans on his shoulder)
Cat Noir: (smiles) I have no idea what you're talking about, but I'm perfectly fine with it.
"So cuuuuuuuute," Alya squeals.
"Thanks for showing us that Aneet," Marinette smiles, glad to know that her nightmares are finally stopping.
"No problem. Anyways, time for Heart Hunter," Aneet says.
