Scene: At the Stadium. Cat Noir and Carapace are keeping four dinosaurs in Carapace's Shell-ter and waiting for Ladybug.
"Don't tell me that my dad is Animan again and that he can multiply?!" Alya asked in concern after seeing the dinosaurs on-screen while everybody else just stared in shock.
"Don't worry, Alya. It's not your dad. It's not even an akuma," Angel answered, calming Alya down though still confused along with everybody else.
"Then, what's with the dinosaurs? Aren't they supposed to not exist anymore?" Ivan asked about the dinosaurs on-screen.
"Remember that scientist Markov was talking to in the last episode? Well, believe it or not: she actually brought dinosaurs back to life," Angel explained in which the audience's jaws dropped in shock.
"OK, I'm way far from a science whiz, but is that even really a smart idea?" Kim asked in which everyone else murmured in agreement, but Angel shrugged in response.
"I hope they're not the dinosaurs I accidentally caused to be extinct," Plagg gulped at the thought of seeing dinosaurs again.
Carapace: Hey, do you think T-Rexes eat a lot?
Cat Noir: Well, we're about to find out unless Ladybug gets back real soon! (Ladybug shows up, and she is with Anne-Jeanne Théoxanne du Bocquale)
Ladybug: Yeah, it's all good! We found the dino call!
Anne-Jeanne: (chuckles) It rolled under my cyclotron. (One of the dinosaurs breaks Carapace's protective shield. Anne-Jeanne blows through her call and relieves the dinosaurs.)
Anne-Jeanne: Oh, yes! (rubs one of the T-Rex's belly) Who's the good little T-Rex? You are! Coochie-coochie-coochie-coochie-coo! (Ladybug notices Carapace is sad.)
"Not only has she brought dinosaurs back to life, she can also tame them," Angel said in shock along with everybody else.
Ladybug: Everything okay, Carapace?
Carapace: Oh, yeah! Yeah, yeah.
Carapace, Ladybug and Cat Noir: Pound it!
"Pound it!" Marinette, Adrien, and Nino fist-bumped before the superhero couple kissed at another victory.
Ladybug: (To Anne-Jeanne) Good luck with your good little T-Rexes, Mrs. du Bocquale! (Ladybug, Carapace and Cat Noir leap away.)
Anne-Jeanne: Bye! (She waves her hand. A dinosaur distracts Annie-Jeanne) Maybe it wasn't the best idea to bring you dinosaurs back to life. What am I gonna do with you guys now? You're gonna eat my entire food budget. (Bob Roth appears in a helicopter with a speaker.)
Bob Roth: I'll buy them from you! I'll put them on an island and turn it into a theme park! I'll be rich! (laughs)
"OF COURSE!" Everyone in the audience exclaimed simultaneously towards Bob Roth and his get-rich schemes on-screen.
Scene: Paris Rooftops. Cat Noir is going back home, Carapace is going to a safe place with Ladybug to hand-over his Miraculous, whereas Rena Furtive is hiding behind the wall.
Cat Noir: Catch you later! (Rena Furtive witnesses they are going back safely.)
"Is that me?!" Alya asked in shock to her new superhero appearance as well as everybody else.
"Yep. You are a new version of Rena Rouge called Rena Furtive. Nobody but Ladybug knows you exist. Your new job with the Fox Miraculous is to be Ladybug's personal secret lookout in case Shadow Moth lays out any more traps and to create emergency illusions when needed," Angel explained about Alya's future new position as Rena Furtive. Though the audience (especially Alya herself) looked in shock, they nodded in understanding.
Carapace: Shell off! (He detransforms. Nino Lahiffe hands over the Turtle Miraculous back to Ladybug.)
Ladybug: Thanks! (notices Nino is still upset.) Something's wrong, isn't it?
Nino: Well, uh..., well, why wasn't Alya- I mean, Rena Rouge, here today?
Ladybug: Oh, uh... because we needed you and... only you, and you've rocked it! Way to go!
Nino: I did?
Ladybug: Mm-hmm. (about to leave) Bug out! (She leaves. Nino still feels upset and sadly leaves.)
"I still haven't told Nino yet that I'm not Rena Rouge anymore, have I?" Alya asked, concerned at the situation along with everybody else except for Angel who nodded in confirmation.
Scene: Sewers. Ladybug opens the lid and goes down while Rena Furtive hides behind a wall.
Ladybug: We weren't followed? No sign of Shadow Moth's traps?
Rena Furtive: Nothing to report.
Ladybug: Perfect! Spots off! (de-transforms into Marinette)
Rena Furtive: (simultaneously) Let's rest! (de-transforms into Alya)
Marinette: (about to climb up the ladder she came through, but pauses) Alya, I wanted to ask you something.
Alya: Ah, you noticed! It's crazy how my costume automatically adapted to my new role. And it gave me the idea for my new name - Rena Furtive!
Marinette: Cool, yes, but secret. We agreed that officially the Miraculous of the Fox doesn't have a holder anymore. Alya, you did tell Nino that you would never be Rena Rouge again, right?
Alya: Well, it's just...
Marinette: Alya! Everyone has to believe that you can never use a Miraculous again. That way, you can be our spy without anyone suspecting.
Alya: (interrupts) And cover you with my power of illusion if Shadow Moth has you followed or if he ever shows himself, I can follow him. I know, I know. (gets upset)
Marinette: For the plan to work, no one can know about it. And no one means no one. Even Nino has to believe that you'll never be Rena Rouge again!
Alya: Or... Rena Furtive?
Marinette: Or Rena Furtive! (Alya groans.)
Scene: Marinette's room. Marinette and Alya are discussing her relationship with Nino.
Alya: (upset) I just don't know if I can lie to Nino like that. We share everything and...
Marinette: It's too late to turn back now. Tell yourself that it's not really lying. It's more-
Alya: (interrupts) It's more like you don't lie to your boyfriend. If Nino ever finds out, he'll never trust me again.
"How do you think I feel every single day ever since I put on these earrings?!" Marinette rhetorically asked her best friend with a frown in which Alya responded with a nod in understanding.
Marinette: I had to keep the truth from my best friend for a very long time, so I know how you feel.
Tom: Girls! (appears a rainbow background) How about an Ultimate Mecha Strike 23 Tournament!
Marinette: Woah! Sorry, but, uh, we're doing homework, Dad! (shoves him away and closes the trapdoor)
Tom: (opens the trapdoor) Again?! Your teacher sure gives you loads of homework!
Marinette: (closes the trapdoor again and turns around to Alya) And see, I still have to lie to my family. It's been months since I hung out with my dad but... we don't have a choice. We've got to protect our superhero secrets.
Alya: (sighs) Fine, I'll tell him.
Scene: Césaire apartment in Alya's room. Nino is laying on Alya's knees.
Alya: (stutters) I-I, um...
Nino: (lies on Alya's lap while reading a book) Somebody wants to play Super Penguino!
Alya: There's something we gotta talk about first.
Nino: (sits) What?
Alya: (stutters) Uh, I, uh..., (groans) I can't do this, it's too hard.
Nino: (worried) You're starting to worry me.
Alya: If I do this, it might change so much between us.
Nino: (stands up) Oh, no! Don't say it! Anything but that!
Alya: Anything but what?
Nino: You don't love me anymore!
Alya: What? No! Of course, I do!
Nino: What is it, then?
Alya: (holds his hands) Nino, it's about our superhero secrets. Ladybug and I had a chat and...okay. I'm no longer Rena Rouge and I never will be. Ladybug won't give me a Miraculous ever again. She thinks it's become too dangerous.
Nino: That all makes sense. It was so weird you're not being there with us last time. Well, it's a super bummer for sure but if Ladybug thinks it's better for you, (hugs her) why are you so scared to tell me? You know we can share everything and nothing will ever change that.
Alya: Yeah, we can share everything. (Alya hugs him back.)
Alya and Nino then looked at each other with sad and concerned looks before giving each other a warm smile.
Scene: Miss Bustier's classroom. Alya is still upset.
Marinette: (whispers to her ear) You did the right thing. It's safer to protect our secrets.
Alya: Yeah, it's probably better that way. (She smiles. Nino smiles back at her.)
Scene: Collège Françoise Dupont, outside. Adrien and Nino do their secret handshake before Adrien leaves while the other students are leaving.
Marinette: It's gonna be time for our (air quotes) evening walk soon if you know what I mean.
Alya: And while the bug is out patrolling with the kitty, the sly fox will cover them in case the mean old moth sets up- (gasps) Oh, I've been meaning to show you something. I took a few selfies with my new costume. There are tons of details I'm sure you missed. Check this out! (shows her new costume on her phone) Right by the neckline, isn't it way cool?
Marinette: (upset) Alya...
Alya: I think I like it better than the old one. Oh, what if I did a survey on the Ladyblog and let people vote on their favorite?
"What part of top-secret don't you understand?!" Marinette asked her best friend in exasperation in which Alya blushed in embarrassment.
"And that is probably you're better suited for the Ladybug job from the very beginning than I ever would," Alya deadpanned in which everyone else murmured in agreement.
Marinette: (sighs) Alya, Rena Furtive means Rena Invisible. No one can ever see these.
Alya: Oh, right. I forgot. (sighs) Bummer, it's getting really hard to find new material for the Ladyblog. (Marinette pats her head.) I guess I still have that raw footage of Cat Noir stunts depending on how well I edit it. (deletes the photo)
Marinette: (happy) Yes, that's an awesome idea. (hugs Alya) Come on, let's go. (They walk down the steps. The scene rewinds to Nino's perspective where Adrien leaves and Nino waves goodbye, then turns around at Marinette and Alya having a conversation. Marinette pats her head.)
Nino: (startled) Oh! (Marinette and Alya walk down the steps while Nino half-smiles.) Hey! Since we got out early today, what do you say we catch a movie?
Alya: Uh, I'm... not so sure.
Marinette: (whispers to her ear) Go on! You have time, we'll meet up later.
Alya: (approaches Nino) So, what's playing in the movies? (grabs his arm aggressively and runs off)
Nino: (while running) Alya! Slow down! (Marinette admiringly smiles at them.)
Scene: Movie theater. Alya and Nino are watching the trailer of an upcoming film of Ladybug and Cat Noir.
Trailer: After Ladybug & Cat Noir...
Ladybug (in the trailer): (voiceover) Oh, Cat Noir, come back!
Cat Noir (in the trailer): (voiceover) I'll always love you, Ladybug!
Trailer: (voiceover) Ladybug & Cat Noir 2: The Arrival of Rena Rouge.
Nino: (annoyed) What about Carapace? Has everyone forgotten about Carapace?! (startled up to what Rena Rouge has said)
"Oh, quit complaining, you wannabe DJ! What about Queen Bee?! I mean: the mean girl who redeems herself as a superhero?! That's always a crowd-pleaser! Ridiculous, utterly ridiculous!" Chloe said in exasperation while everyone else rolled their eyes in annoyance.
Rena Rouge (in the trailer): Cat Noir, forget about Ladybug. You and I, we are made for each other.
After seeing that part of the movie trailer, the three teens involved shouted in shock:
WHAT (Adrien)
THE (Alya)
HECK?! (Nino)
After that reaction, everyone else laughed hard in amusement while the three were still annoyed.
"What idiot dude came up with that idea?! It's not even authentic!" Nino shouted out in annoyance and exasperation.
"I know! What could be more ridiculous?!" Alya asked, annoyed and exasperated as well.
"Well, they could ship Ladybug and Queen Bee together," Angel teasingly suggested in which everyone else gave cringing faces in both disgust and amusement.
"OK, ew! Thanks for that image!" Marinette said as she reacted in disgust to that suggestion.
"Excuse me, Dupain-Cheng?! I could've had you if I wanted you!" Chloe said in response, in which everybody else gave her looks of confusion before she herself had one. "What am I saying?!"
"Let's move on," Angel said as she replayed the episode after a long awkward silent moment.
Nino: What?! Rena Rouge in love with Cat Noir? This is totally ridiculous!
Alya: Hey, Nino. It's a cartoon, a made-up story! It's just made to entertain people.
Nino: Well, I, for one, am not entertained!
Ladybug (in the trailer): (voiceover) She's right, Cat Noir. You and Rena Rouge should be so much better together! (Alya has gone upset on her phone while Nino notices her, then, she turns off her phone quickly and smiles at him, then, Nino smiles back.)
Scene: Outside the Cinema.
Nino: Mademoiselle. (welcoming Alya outside the cinema) Should I take you home? Or.. (Nino notices Alya once again checking her phone constantly) That thing you were showing to Marinette on your phone earlier seemed really cool. What was it? Can I see?
Alya: Oh- A thing? What thing? It was nothing. Besides, I'm just running out of battery. (She laughs nervously. André rings his ice-cream bell which Nino and Alya notice.)
Nino: Hey, look! André's over there! How about some ice cream? (Alya nods her head while smiling )
Andrè: Alya and Nino, my favorite lovebirds! What shall I serve you today? (Alya sees Ladybug who is calling her by gesturing.)
Alya: Uh, nothing for me, thanks! I just remembered that I have homework to do and I'm not really hungry, anyway. You can have my half. See you later! (Alya leaves Nino and kisses him on his cheek.)
Nino: Thanks, André, but I guess we'll have to wait till next time. (Nino notices Cat Noir leaping majestically on the roofs. Nino suddenly gets distracted by three kids who are role-playing Cat Noir, Ladybug & Rena Rouge near him.)
Kid 1: Come on, Cat Noir is in love with Ladybug, not Rena Rouge!
Kid 2: I don't care! I'm Cat Noir and all the girls love me! (Nino sadly looks down and leaves.)
"Is this how people actually see me as Cat Noir?!" Adrien asked in exasperation as he looked at everybody else, but they answered his question with nervous looks on their faces.
Scene: The Seine. Nino is watching on the Ladyblog, where Alya is admiring Cat Noir.
Alya: There's a lot of talk about Ladybug, but hardly any about Cat Noir, and he's really an amazing superhero! Brave, funny, handsome; coming right up a montage of some of the most impressive stunts of a superhero who's every bit as magnificent as Prince Char-meow-ing. Stay connected! (Nino gets angry and calls Adrien.)
Nino: I knew it! She's in love with someone else!
Adrien: You guys spend every minute together. I'm sure you're just imagining things. Who else do you think she'd be in love with, anyway?
Nino: (angrily) Cat Noir!
Adrien: (laughs) Yeah, right. How about Jagged Stone's crocodile while you're at it?
Nino: (angrily) Did you see the video?
Adrien: Come on, that's just some video from the Ladyblog. Not proof.
Nino: (angrily) I'll find proof, then you'll see that I was right! (Nino disconnects the call)
"I cannot believe you're letting a cartoon, a bunch of dumb little kids, and a tribute video get to you!" Alya said loudly towards her blushing boyfriend in exasperation along with everyone else.
Scene: Adrien's room.
Adrien: (to Plagg, worried) There's no way!
Plagg: Oh, there's a way. Yes way! My natural charisma has probably just rubbed off on you.
Adrien: You think I played the charming kitty cat one too many times and unintentionally made her fall in love with me? I have to be sure! Plagg, claws out! (transforms into Cat Noir and jumps out of his window)
"And I cannot believe you're actually taking Nino's paranoia very seriously!" Marinette said loudly towards her also-blushing boyfriend in exasperation along with everyone else (except for Nino who is still blushing in embarrassment from earlier).
"Why are we in love with these bozos again?!" Alya asked her best friend in exasperation and Marinette replied with a shrug and a frown.
"HEY!" Adrien and Nino said loudly in offense while everyone else snickered in amusement.
Scene: At Place des Vosges fountain, Nearby Césaire apartment. Nino disguises himself as a detective.
Nino: Who would want a tormented turtle for a companion? No one could resist a kitten! (blows bubbles) This one just ripped my heart out, like a tragic sax solo and a love song. There I was, with my old buddies again: the city, the night, the solitude, the rain, pouring down, (his phone starts to ring) not like the tears that were stuck in my throat. (puts on a fake mustache) It was time to end all the lies and secrets. I'd always wanted to have a mustache anyway.
"Yeah, right! Like I'd ever have a costume like that in my closet!" Nino nervously lied once everyone else gave him strange but amused looks. After his lie, the audience snickered in response.
Scene: Césaire apartment. Alya is editing on her computer but gets distracted by a knock at the window. Alya unveils the curtain, revealing Cat Noir.
Alya: Cat Noir!? (Alya opens the window and goes to talk to him, whereas Nino who is hiding, watches and records everything via his phone.) What's going on? Is something wrong?
Cat Noir: No, no! Everything's fine! It's just that I saw you posted a new video about me. I'm super flattered, really, but it made me wonder: you've been following Ladybug and me from the very start. You take photos and videos, and we even saved you a couple times. What I mean is, we're starting to know each other pretty well and... it's made me notice a couple of small things. I hope I'm just under the illusion that there's something but uh...
Alya: Illusion...? What illusion? What small things?
Cat Noir: It's kind of hard to explain, but I wanted to make sure that in all this time you've spent admiring me, you haven't built up some kind of uh... feelings for me. I mean, I get it, "Hey, I am the Cat's Meow."
"Blondie, you are making a total fool of yourself," Alya said as she facepalmed but also laughed along with everyone else except for the blond boy himself.
"Yes, thank you!" Adrien said in annoyance as he sank to his seat in embarrassment while everyone else continued laughing at him.
Alya: Huh, what feelings for you?
Cat Noir: Well.. you know.. (He makes a heart on his hand. Nino zooms in his video as Alya laughs from the balcony.)
Alya: (laughs) Are you insane?! I already have a boyfriend! And FYI, with him it's not just, (makes a small heart on her hand) it's more like (makes a big heart with her arms).
"Ugh! Why can't I hear anything?!" Nino asked in exasperation much to everyone else's amusement.
Cat Noir: (laughs) Sorry, that was so silly of me. (Cat Noir and Alya hug each other. Nino gets taken aback by the gesture and puts down his phone. He then returns to recording them.)
"YOU THINK?!" Everyone in the audience rhetorically asked Adrien who's still trying to hide himself in embarrassment.
Alya: Sorry, Cat Noir, but my Nino is a thousand times more irresistible than you. (She scratches his chin. Nino from a distance watches and starts to cry after seeing them "flirting" with each other.) Besides, I don't really know your real identity, and I could never fall for someone I didn't really know. (Nino, in tears, runs off crying.)
"This is exactly why I could never bring myself to fall for you as Cat Noir in the first place, kitty. How would we accomplish a romantic relationship if we can't actually get to know each other or know who's under each other's masks?!" Marinette explained to her boyfriend about her feelings towards Cat Noir.
"Now that you've said it, it does seem a little ridiculous and not really possible," Adrien reluctantly agreed after some thought.
Scene: Collège Françoise Dupont. Adrien enters the school and sees bubbles all over him. Adrien comes forward and notices it's Nino who is creating them.
Adrien: Oh, hey, Nino! I gotta tell you something.
Nino: (angrily) No! I gotta tell you something!
Adrien Huh?
Scene: The Boiler room. Nino takes Adrien to his table.
Nino: (sets up a chair for Adrien.) Sit down! (After offering Adrien to sit, Nino sits and puts his legs on the table.)
Adrien: Uh... when did you set all this up?
Nino: I'm the one asking questions! Remember what I told you yesterday? I got proof now. What do you say to this?! (shows Adrien the video he recorded of Cat Noir and Alya on her balcony)
Adrien: (shocked) Uh- (turns the radio volume down) Come on, that doesn't make any sense. You're wrong, that's not at all what happened!
Nino: How do you know? You were there? You're in on it too?!
Adrien: No, no. Of course not! But it's impossible! I'm sure this is just a misunderstanding. Alya and Cat Noir have nothing in common. They barely know each other! Alya is just a superhero fan. She's been filming Ladybug and Cat Noir, that's all!
Nino: They know each other well enough!
Adrien: But no one knows Ladybug and Cat Noir's secret identities. Can you imagine Alya falling in love with someone she doesn't really know? The girl who wants to be a reporter who always wants to know the truth, no matter what? Who wants to share everything with the boy she loves?
Nino: (turns the radio volume back on) They actually know each other much better than you think!
Adrien: You can't assume that from this video. (Nino comes closer to Adrien, and tries to explain that he is right)
Nino: Listen, here's what you don't know! I'm not talking about the video, dude. I'm talking about something I shouldn't be telling you. A mind-blowing secret. Alya is a superhero. She's Rena Rouge!
"NINO!" Alya shouted at her boyfriend in anger as well as punched his arm in response to what he just told Adrien on-screen.
Adrien: What?!
Nino: Shh! (puts his finger on Adrien's lips) I know what you're about to say: "That's nonsense and how would Nino know that anyway?" I know because... I'm a superhero too. I'm Carapace!
Adrien: Huh? You're... Carapace? But... the two of you know?! You know each other's secret identities?!
"Wait! So I still didn't know who Rena Rouge and Carapace were?!" Adrien asked, confused as well as everyone else.
"Apparently. I'm just as confused as you all are. I thought you would've found out during the whole Miracle Queen thing," Angel said, giving her opinion on the matter while everyone else murmured and shrugged in agreement.
Nino: Of course, Alya and I have never kept anything from each other. Until now, with that Cat Noir business!
Adrien: Wait a sec, I don't understand! I thought that secret identities had to be protected at all costs. If it were true, you'd never just tell me like that. Ladybug would never agree to that!
Nino: Are you kidding? Ladybug is the one who gave us both our Miraculous at the same time.
"ON HEROES' DAY!" Marinette angrily shouted to her childhood friend, afraid that now her boyfriend is gonna take it out of context on-screen. While everyone else glared at the blushing Nino, Adrien looked very concerned.
Adrien: (betrayed) No, that's impossible!
Nino: What are you trying to say? That I'm lying or something!?
Adrien: No, no. What I meant was- Okay, you're Carapace, she's Rena Rouge and Ladybug's okay with this. But it still isn't like Alya or Cat Noir to be... (rolls his hands) you know...?
Nino: You don't know what Cat Noir really is but I do! I'm part of the team! I see how he acts in real life. Sure, as soon as Ladybug shows up, he throws himself at her feet with roses and big declarations, (smooches) but he gets blown off every time, because Ladybug thinks he's obnoxious, and she's right! And then whenever Rena Rouge shows up, it's like, (scratches Adrien's chin) "Why, hello there, pretty lady, you look so fine! You smell so good!" So yeah, it's easy to figure out that the first mission I missed- I mean, Carapace missed, he made his move and, BAM! This is what happened. Now, (sits down slowly) I'm all alone. I've lost the love of my life. (angrily) If I could, I'd sew his sweet-talking mouth shut with his own whiskers! (a tear drops on the screen of his phone)
"Well…this is awkward, dude," Nino said to his best friend as he nervously scratched the back of his head with the whole theater in silence. "I-I…"
"I get it, Nino. Don't worry. I'm not offended," Adrien said to assure his best friend, but looked very nervous as well.
Scene: Shadow Moth's lair. The window opens.
Shadow Moth: A spurned boyfriend who wants vengeance on his rival. Now that's a strong emotion. (creates an akuma) Fly, my little akuma and help this young man destroy his enemy! My enemy! (the akuma flies out flies out the window)
Scene: Boiler room. The akuma flies over Adrien and Nino.
Adrien: There's got to be an explanation, Nino. We'll work it all out! (gasps as the akuma enters Nino's glasses.)
Shadow Moth: (from his lair) Rocketear, I am Shadow Moth. Cat Noir has ripped your heart out and left you in a weeping state of sorrow. So, I'm giving your tears the power to destroy everything! All I ask for in return are-
Nino: (interrupts) I know what you want, Shadow Moth. Don't worry, the only thing left to them will be their Miraculous. (transforms into Rocketear)
Adrien: Nino, you have to fight off this-
Rocketear: (throws Adrien) You're not my enemy, Adrien. Cat Noir is! (jumps onto the upper hall and starts to walk away)
Plagg: I know what you're about to do but I would advise you not to, considering what your pal's got in store for Cat Noir.
Adrien: I can't leave Nino like that!
[Transformation Sequence]
Adrien: (unhappy) Plagg, claws out!
Scene: Art classroom. Marinette and Alya are having a conversation about last night.
Alya: And that's why he showed up in the middle of the night, because of this video I posted on the Ladyblog. He thought I was in love with him. (laughs)
Marinette: (facepalms) Oh, that Cat Noir. (A rumbling is heard outside. They looked out the window and saw Rocketear and Cat Noir fighting on the streets.)
"I guess Nino's really right about me being annoying, huh?" Adrien sadly asked his girlfriend.
"Well, everyone can be annoying from time to time, kitty," Marinette softly and truthfully answered in which everyone else gave soft murmurs in agreement, which cheered the blond boy up.
Rocketear: (voiceover) Cat Noir! You stole my Alya from me! I'm going to steal your life from you! (He shoots tears at Cat Noir but is able to dodge from it and instead, it explodes on a car. He tries to shoot more tears at Cat Noir.)
"Whoa! Those are some super tears!" Kim loudly said in shock about Rocketear's tears and everyone else loudly murmured in agreement, shocked as well.
Cat Noir: I didn't steal anyone! (lands on a lamppost) Alya still loves you!
Rocketear: LIAR! I have proof! (continues to shoots tears)
Marinette: Oh no, this can't be happening! (goes behind an art desk along with Alya)
Alya: Oh, Nino, no!
Marinette: (softly) We have to stop them before they hurt each other. Come on, follow me! (The girls sneak away whilst the others continue to watch the battle by the window.)
Scene: Boiler room. Marinette and Alya go inside.
Marinette: Okay, we can transform in peace in here. (They notice Nino's secret office and walk towards it. Marinette also notices the video on Nino's phone.) Alya, don't tell me you... (shows the video to Alya)
Alya: Of course not! It's a misunderstanding. If you could hear what we were saying, there's no way Nino would believe that I'm in love with Cat Noir.
Marinette: Okay, fine. Let's not waste time. (Tikki and Trixx pop out.) Tikki!
Alya: (simultaneously) Trixx!
Marinette: Spots on! (transforms into Ladybug)
Alya: (simultaneously) Let's pounce! (transforms into Rena Furtive)
Ladybug: Lucky Charm! (receives a projector) A video projector? What am I supposed to do with this? (lights it up)
Rena Furtive: Do like Nino and make up imaginary movies in your head?
Ladybug: (using her Lucky Vision, she looks around and sees Rena Furtive's flute, the video from Nino's phone, and the projector. She says to Rena Furtive) You said that if Nino could have heard what you were saying, there'd be no misunderstanding?
Rena Furtive: Absolutely!
Ladybug: How well do you remember what you guys said on the balcony?
Rena Furtive: Every. Word.
Ladybug: Do you think you could make... a sound illusion?
Rena Furtive: Totally. (Ladybug smirks.)
"So, what's the plan here?" Nino asked, confused as well as most others in the audience.
"Well, with the video projector, Ladybug is gonna replay the video you shot for you. Only this time, Rena is gonna add audio to the video so that you would know what she and Cat Noir were really saying on the balcony. You don't just make visual illusions, Alya. You can make audio illusions too," Angel explained about the plan and everyone else nodded in understanding.
"That's so cool!" Alya said excitedly. "It would be perfect for fun but harmless pranks!"
"That's what I'm talking about, sly fox!" Trixx said as he and his holder hi-five each other.
Scene: Streets. Rocketear shoots a tear to Cat Noir but jumps over it.
Cat Noir: I don't wanna fight you!
Rocketear: Silence! (Rocketear continues to shoot more tears.)
Cat Noir: (dodges the tears) Let me explain!
Rocketear: (tries to knock him down) I don't wanna hear your lies! (Cat Noir throws Rocketear away from him.)
Cat Noir: You wanted proof? Here's proof. (shortens his staff and tosses it away)
Rocketear: That doesn't prove a thing! (He shoots tears at him, making him thrown onto a van and knocks him down one more time.)
Cat Noir: (weakly) See? I don't wanna hurt you. Can we talk now?
Shadow Moth: (from his lair) Shut him up for good! But before you do, seize his Miraculous!
Rocketear: (about to shoot a tear to him) It's over, Cat Noir!
Cat Noir: (weakly) Don't do this. (A yoyo grabs Rocketear's wrist, misdirecting the tear and is shot on one of the buildings' roofs.)
Ladybug: Nino, stop!(shows the projector) Look, my Lucky Charm gave me a super-advanced projector that will allow you to hear the sound of the video that you shot. (Rocketear hesitates for a moment. Meanwhile, Rena Furtive is hiding behind a wall on the rooftops, waiting for her cue to activate her power.) I don't know what Cat Noir said to your girlfriend either, but I trust him.
Rena Furtive: (whispers) Mirage!
Ladybug: Now, look and listen carefully. (shows a bigger screen of the video from the projector) (looks at her)
Rena Furtive: (uses her Mirage to create a sound for her and Cat Noir's conversation on the video) Well, you know...
Cat Noir: (from the video) (repeats) Well, you know... (Alya laughs. The video made Rocketear furious but stopped for a while.)
Alya: (from the video) Are you insane? I already have a boyfriend! And FYI, with him,...
Alya and Rena Furtive: It's not just... it's more like... (gestures a bigger heart)
Cat Noir and Rena Furtive: (laughs) Sorry, that was so silly of me. (hugs each other)
Alya and Rena Furtive: Yeah, sorry, Cat Noir, but my Nino is a thousand times more irresistible than you. Besides, I don't know your real identity and I could never fall for someone I didn't really know. (Rocketear realizes what really happened. In the meantime, Rena Furtive runs and hides behind a car to detransform.)
Rena Furtive: Let's rest! (detransforms into Alya)
Alya: Nino! (goes to Rocketear and hugs him)
Rocketear: I can't believe I ever doubted you.
Alya: I can't believe I ever chose to do anything over spending time with you.
Rocketear: I'm so sorry. (Alya removes his glasses and wipes away Rocketear's tear)
Alya: I was so scared for you. (hugs him and Rocketear hugs her back)
"AWWW!" Everyone in the audience gushed at the romantic moment between the couple on-screen while the couple hugged each other with warm smiles on their faces.
Rocketear: Shadow Moth! You can have your lame powers back! (resigns)
Shadow Moth: (from his lair) Oh! (He frowned. Rocketear turns back into Nino causing it to release the akuma.)
Ladybug: No more evil-doing for you, little akuma! Time to de-evilize! (captures the akuma) Gotcha! (releases the butterfly) Bye-bye, little butterfly! Miraculous Ladybug! (throws the projector and returns all the cars safe, fixes the damaged rooftop, and the dented car where Cat Noir was thrown onto)
Scene: Shadow Moth's lair.
Shadow Moth: Love and secrets don't mix, Ladybug, and I'm sure you have many secrets, too. (He laughs and the window closes)
Scene: Streets. Ladybug creates a magical charm and gives it to Nino.
Ladybug: (takes his hand) Nino, take this magical charm. Always carry it with you. That way, Shadow Moth can't get to you, anymore.
Nino: I won't need to use it, Ladybug. (holds Alya's hands) I'll never let Shadow Moth use my love to manipulate me again. (to Cat Noir) I guess I was wrong about you, my dude. I'm sorry. (tips his cap)
Cat Noir: Everyone has doubts now and then. (looks down) Even me...
Ladybug: Is everything okay, Cat Noir?
Cat Noir: Yeah, yeah. (prepare his fist) Pound it!
Ladybug: (fistbumps) Pound it! (Cat Noir and Ladybug run away, whereas Cat Noir is still upset, thinking about the secrets Nino had blurted out to him earlier at the boiler room.)
"Pound it!" Marinette, Adrien, and Alya fist-bumped before the main couple kissed in victory.
Scene: Adrien's room. Adrien is looking at a post of him with Ladybug, Rena Rouge and Carapace at Ladyblog on his computer.
Adrien: I still can't believe Ladybug entrusted Alya and Nino with those Miraculous.
Plagg: (while eating Camembert) Of course she did. She's the Guardian.
Adrien: But they're a couple and they know each other's secret identities.
Plagg: So...? (eats the Camembert)
Adrien: So, why does she make it a rule that we can't know each other's identities but it's okay for them?
Plagg: She's the Guardian, the Grandmaster Cheese Ripener, and you and I are just cheese on the platter. She decides what's on the menu.
"I'm sorry, kitty," Marinette apologized to her boyfriend on her future self's behalf as she looked down in sadness and shame.
"No need to apologize. Maybe I would've felt differently if I heard the context of the situation," Adrien softly said to his girlfriend before giving a slight frown towards Nino who chuckled sheepishly.
Scene: Marinette's room. Marinette is calling Alya.
Marinette: I'm really sorry. I didn't mean to cause trouble between you and Nino.
Alya: (at her balcony while on the call) Don't worry, I've got this. Do you trust me?
Marinette: I trust you.
Scene: Alya's room. Alya ends the call and starts being upset.
Alya: Nino?
Nino: Hmm?
Alya: There's something I have to tell you.
Nino: Again? You sure you don't wanna just play Super Penguino instead?
Alya: (sighs) I'm still Rena Rouge. (Nino gasps.) But now I'm in hiding and that's why Ladybug asked me not to tell anyone.
Nino: (goes to her) But why are you telling me if no one's supposed to know? Is Ladybug cool with this?
Alya: I can't hide it from you, because I love you, Nino, and we share everything. (They hug each other.)
"I'm sorry, girl," Alya apologized to her best friend on her future self's behalf on what just happened on-screen.
"It's okay, Alya. I just hope it won't turn out as bad as it possibly could," Marinette said after giving a heavy sigh.
"Anyway, the next episode is called Wishmaker," Angel announced to her audience.
"Let me guess: this akuma makes wishes come true?" Adrien asked in a deadpan manner, given the supervillain's name.
"Yep. Specifically childhood wishes. Whatever you wanted to be when you were little, he'll turn you into it. Like if you wanted to be a unicorn when you were little, he'll turn you into one," Angel explained about Wishmaker.
"And who's that akuma?" Marinette asked curiously as well as everyone else.
"Alec Cataldi," Angel answered in which everybody else looked at each other in confusion and disbelief.
"Are we talking about the same guy who likes to mock and ridicule people on TV?" Luka asked as everybody else murmured in agreement.
"Yeah. Let's just say he had a certain epiphany about himself on why he's the way he is along with what he really wanted to do with his life. This episode focuses on the discussion of your future career goals," Angel explained in which everyone else nodded in understanding, but still shocked.
"What's an epiphany?" Kim, as simple-minded as he is, asked Max quietly.
"It's a moment where people suddenly realize great truths about themselves that they never seemed to realize before," Max quietly whispered the definition to Kim.
"Anyway, here is Wishmaker," Angel said as she played the episode.
