"Alright everyone it's time for Simon Says." Gary said
Scene: TVi studio. "The Challenge" is on the air.
Alec: Welcome back to everyone's #1 live game show: The Challenge! Let's give it up for our awesome contestant, Nino!
(Nino enters the stage)
Alec: So Nino, you're a student and a DJ. That's pretty awesome! Check out the decks we got for you!
"That was a fun day doing that Challenge." Nino said
"Who did you challenge?" Random student asked
"You'll see." Nino said pointing at the screen
The scene shifts to Marinette's house, living room.
Marinette: Grounded? For what?!
All of Marinette friends gasp at their friend being grounded
"Who knew the baker girl can get grounded I thought she was a goody-two-shoes." Chloe arrogantly said
Tom: Let's jog your memory, Marinette. Monday morning, absent from P.E...
(Shows a flashback of Ladybug saving a helicopter)
"OHHHH! Everyone shouted at what Marinette was doing school time.
"So, you were saving and helping people of Paris." Mr. Damocles said
"Sorry Mr. Damocles I can't control what happens in Paris." Marinette said
Marinette: I was in study hall.
Tom: Friday evening, absent from study hall.
(Shows a flashback of Ladybug saving a kitten from a tree)
"That cat was so cute I didn't want to let it go." Marinette said
Marinette: I was at P.E.!
Tom: You're never where you're supposed to be, Marinette! The only way we can keep track of you is by keeping you here, grounded.
Marinette: But I was invited... Nino is my friend, he was counting on me.
"I wouldn't mind if you didn't come Marinette at least I got to hang out with my dude." Nino said bringing his fist out for a fist pump
Thanks dude." Adrien said giving Nino a fist pump
Alec: So, the challenge the viewers have chosen for you is... To get the mayor of Paris, André Bourgeois, to dance! Thank you for agreeing to play with us today, sir. What are Nino's chances tonight?
André: (On the screen) Zero. I despise dancing. The last time I set foot on a dance floor, Madonna was in kindergarten.
"I made that lie up; I didn't want people to see me dance." Andre said
"It's alright dad, I would like to see you dance." Zoe said and Andre hugged his step-daughter while Chloe looked at them with jealousy.
"(I hate my step-sister, she comes from New York and my daddy loves her more than me.)" Chloe thought with jealousy
Tom: I know Nino's your friend. But until your unexcused absences come to an end, that's the way it's going to be.
Marinette: Awesome. (She goes to her room, sad. Sits in her chair and groans)
Tikki: Can you blame them? How are they supposed to know that you're missing class to save the world?
Marinette: I guess being grounded comes with the territory of being a top-secret superhero. Doesn't seem fair though.
"School work is still important Marinette, I'm glad your parents did the right thing and for a whole week you weren't late." Caline Buster said and Marinette nodded at her favorite teacher
"The other reason I want to go there was because Adrien was going to be there as well." Marinette said
"You're a creepy stalker Marinette." Lila said
"At least being a creepy stalker is better than touching him all the time when he doesn't like it and Adrien feels more comfortable around me because I don't touch him all the time." Marinette said
"Whatever." Lila said rolling her eyes
Marinette: Yeah, but Adrien was there today! (turns on the computer, and Nino can be seen DJing.)
"See what did I tell ya, I wanted to go there and see Adrien." Marinette said
Scene: Hawk Moth's lair.
Hawk Moth: (His window opens) The Challenge... what an interesting concept. A TV show with such potential with negative emotions. Oh, the destructive mayhem we could cause...
"The fuck Shadow Moth is already getting to akumatize someone and no one has any negative emotions yet." Alya said in shock
"Whoever he is he's good at detecting negative emotions." Marinette said
Scene: Marinette's room. Marinette is talking to Alya on the phone.
Marinette: Seriously? How can you say that, Alya?
Alya: Sorry, but I kinda get your dad, Marinette. You're never where you say you'll be. Showing up late, splitting mysteriously and all. I'd almost suspect you were leading... (narrows eyes) a double life.
"I can't believe I was right; you were leading a double life as one of Paris superheroes/vigilante." Alya said happily
"You been close multiple times Alya but I find a way to take myself off who is Ladybug." Marinette said
Marinette: (shocked) Gimme a break! You're being ridiculous.
"When did Marinette turn into Chloe after she said ridiculous." Alix said
"Don't compare me to that bitch, I'm much better than her." Marinette said angrily.
Scene: TVi studio.
(Simon Grimault arrives and tries to shake Adrien's hand, but Adrien's bodyguard shields Adrien and stands protectively in front of him.)
Adrien: (shocked) No! It's okay!
"Your bodyguard blocked someone who wants to give you a handshake." Random student said
"Yeah, he's so good at his job." Adrien said
Alec: Victory! Challenge conquered by Nino. You moved your head to the beat, Mayor Bourgeois! That counts as dancing!
André Bourgeois: (On the screen) What?! That's not true! My neck was... itching, that's all.
Alec: Relieving an itch to the beat counts as dancing, too! Nino, congratulations. You'll return in one week to meet your next challenge! And now, for our next contestant, welcome Simon Grimault!
"Really itching counts as dancing, so anything we do is dancing?" Gary said confused
Adrien: (To Nino, who comes back from the stage) Awesome, dude!
Alec: Mr. Grimault, you are a hypnotist. You use cards to hypnotize people to get what you want from them!
"I heard of those watches on a chain hypnotize people but cards hypnotizing people never heard about that one before." Gary said
Simon: Well, yes, I'm a hypnotist. But, uh, I don't use my skills to get anything.
Alec: So, your challenge today, Simon, is to use your talents to bring a very elusive celebrity to this very TV set! Give it up for the king of fashion, Gabriel Agreste!
"How did they get your father to do this show?" Kim asked
"I still had no idea to this day." Adrien said
Gabriel: What is this show? I was told this was an interview.
"So, they told him it will be an interview, but I'm still confused how they got him to agree due to his busy schedule." Adrien said
"Maybe they said they would sponsor his company for TVI studio." Marinette said
Nino: Dude, your dad!
Alec: Do your thing, Grimault, let's see if you can bring Mr. Agreste here with your hypnotic persuasion!
Simon: I told you, I don't make people-
Alec: Ha! A shy hypnotist! How funny is that, Gabriel?
Gabriel: Hilarious. Your show is pathetic. And so is your contestant. Control me? Never. (ends the transmission)
"He was wrong about being controlled after Simon got akumatized." Marinette said
"We really need to see this." Alix said with a smile
Alec: Huh?
Adrien: That's my dad, all right.
Alec: Looks like Mr. Agreste has turned on your challenge. Game over!
"Now that was rude." Gary said
"I know he's a cold man but he shouldn't hang-up like that and I wanted to work for him but I don't want to be on the receiving end of his glare." Marinette said
Simon: But... that's not fair! I didn't even get time to... (is lead off the stage)
Scene: Hawk Moth's lair.
"Time for the score board update." Gary said pressing a button making the score board appear
Chloe: 5
Kim, Alec, Roger, Penny, Chat Noir, and Gabriel: 1
"Chloe will be knocked down from the top soon." Lila said
"We'll see there's still 106 episodes to go and 3 movie specials to go." Gary said
"So we watched 13 episodes and still no Shadow Moth reveal." Alya said annoyed
"There's 13 more episodes to go and Season 2 and beyond is where things get interesting." Gary said
"Can you skip those 13 episodes and go straight to Season 2 right now." Mylene said
"That would ruin the fun wouldn't it." Gary said
Hawk Moth: Yes. Humiliation and anger. The perfect elements for transforming a loser into a winner. (turns a butterfly into an akuma) Fly away, my little akuma, and evilize him!
"He was ready to akumatize someone since his window was still opened." Marinette said
"I wonder where his location is, the only time we see him is when he does something big and evil and that's about it." Adrien said
"The only thing we know about his hideout is that window and that's about it and this is why we taken too long to find him because he stays hidden and let the akuma's do his dirty work." Marinette said
"You'll defeat him we believe in you heroes." Paris citizen said
"Thanks guys." Marinette said
Scene: Back in the TVi Studio.
(Simon is picking up the cards he dropped. The akuma flies and infects one of Simon's cards)
Hawk Moth: I am Hawk Moth. You are now Simon Says. I will help you be the most powerful hypnotist ever. You will help me in return when the time's right. So, do we have a deal, Simon Says?
Simon: Simon says yes. (turns into Simon Says and goes inside the studio)
"He was the first akuma to make my yo-yo useless and that made him slightly dangerous then Stormy Weather and Copycat" Marinette said
Simon Says: Simon says the show is not over!
Alec: What on earth?!
Simon Says: (picks a card) Silence! Silence says (the pun "Simon Says" as in "Silence Says") you're lame! As lame as a duck!
"So he controls people with his cards and he's your less dangerous akuma, he should be higher instead." Max said
"He would if we didn't had another mind controller akuma." Marinette said
(He throws the duck card at Alec, and he starts acting like a duck. The Gorilla tries to stop him)
Simon Says: Simon says stop! (throws a card with a pause sign at the Gorilla and freezes him) Simon says you are a Gorilla! (throws the Gorilla card at him and he starts acting like a Gorilla)
"Everyone started to laugh at the Gorilla acting like the Gorilla
"It's funny seeing your body guard act like his name's sake." Nino said giggling
(Adrien and Nino gasp then Adrien runs to the door and he goes behind the door to transform into Cat Noir offscreen)
Scene: (smooth transition, the last scene is shown on Marinette's computer screen) Marinette's room.
Tikki: Marinette, look!
Marinette: (Sees the screen) Ah! I gotta go, Alya!
Alya: (from phone) Have a good one! I'll get back to my babysitting.
"I'm not being rude to my sisters but they were quite naughty for me while I was babysitting them." Alya said
"Really they good for me when I babysit them." Nora said
"Look at you sis they afraid to be naughty for you." Alya said
"They not afraid of me they look up to me as their big sister." Nora said proudly
"Are you saying my little sisters don't look up to me." Alya angrily said
"Alya, Nora are you two fighting again." Otis said
"No dad we're not." Nora and Alya said
"I wonder how often these two argue for their parents to call them out on it." Marinette whispered to Adrien
"Very often it seems." Adrien whispered back
Marinette: Tikki, what am I gonna do? I'm grounded!
Tikki: You don't have a choice! You must transform! We just have to be extra careful! Use that pillow under your sheets.
"Sorry Mum and dad/Sabine and Tom." Marinette and Tikki said together
"It's alright darling we can't have Paris superhero away from her job even being grounded." Sabine said
"Thanks Mum." Marinette said
(Marinette goes to her bed and sees the pillow. She takes the pillow and rearranges the bed, to make it look like she is sleeping under it)
Tikki: Lookin' good.
"I made a mannequin of myself and I put it under my blankets so people think it's me in bed." Marinette said
[ Transformation Sequence ]
Marinette: Tikki, spots on! Ha! (Marinette transforms into Ladybug)
"We always thought you were playing superheroes with our loud you shout your transformation words." Sabine said
(Ladybug jumps from her house's roof and swings to the TVi Studio)
"Still wounding how no one has looked up and saw Ladybug leaving the property of the Dupain's and the same area as their daughter's bedroom." Gary said
Scene: TVi studio.
Simon Says: Gabriel Agreste turned down my challenge and he will pay for it! By midnight tonight, he will entertain us in this very TV studio. Gabriel, I'm coming to get you!
(Cat Noir eavesdrops from above, to the ceiling attached, batten)
Cat Noir: Dad?
Hawk Moth: (from his lair) It's risky, but it's given me an idea. Good luck, Simon Says.
"What does he mean by risky?" Alya asked
"I don't know, but the way he said it's like Gabriel is working for him." Marinette said
"My father wouldn't work for Shadow Moth." Adrien said denying that his father could work for evil
"Do you even know what he does in his office?" Mylene asked
"No, because Nathalie always turns me away from my dad's office saying he's busy working." Adrien said
"So that means Nathalie knows he's working for Shadow Moth, that's why she turns you away so you don't see." Rose said
"I can't believe my father would work for Shadow Moth, is this why he's busy all the time." Adrien said sadly and Marinette hugged him to cheer him up which worked and Adrien kissed Marinette's forehead.
Chloe and Lila looked at each other and smiled that Gabriel is working with Shadow Moth.
(Cat Noir sees Nino hiding, he shushes Nino and jumps on Simon Says)
Cat Noir: Cat Noir says: Zip it and gimme those cards!
Simon Says: (throws the cards) My gorilla will take care of you. Simon says.. knock him out! (throws a card at the Gorilla, who knocks Cat Noir out of the studio)
Cat Noir: I may not always land on my feet, but I always bounce back!
Simon Says: (picks up the cards) I could use an army.
"Who needs an army if you could do it yourself." Style Queen said
"I need an army since Gabriel has high security around his mansion, all you did was fly over the gate." Simon said
"That's why I'm superior then all of you." Style Queen said puffing out her chest
The powerful akuma's snorted at Style Queen's comment.
"What's so funny?" Style Queen asked
"You're not that powerful Chat Blanc is, he destroyed the world while Stormy Weather is the second one to almost destroy the world." Lady Wifi said
"Then I'm the third powerful then." Style said
"You're not third powerful either." The Bubbler said
"Then who's third powerful?" Style asked
"That would be me." Timetagger said
"Fine I'm fourth powerful then." Style said getting quite annoyed
"You're not that either." Timetagger said
"UGH! I must be in the top ten of the most powerful then." Style said
"You popularly in the top 20 of the most powerful." Timebreaker said and Style Queen folded her arms in a huff.
Scene: Outside the studio. A group of people are waiting for the elevator, but Simon Says comes out of it.
"How come we got the akumatized alert now but back then we don't?" Marinette asked confused
Simon Says: Simon says... you are all soldiers! (they run away, but he throws soldier cards at them) Simon says... search all over Paris, my army, and find Gabriel Agreste!
"You could have told them to go to the Agreste Mansion instead of making them look around all of Paris." Lies said
(Ladybug kicks the door, but sees nobody in the studio.)
Nino: Ladybug!
Ladybug: Oh... Hey! You okay?
"Damn Nino, you gave me a scare when you appeared I thought you were hypnotized by Simon Says." Marinette said
"Sorry dudette." Nino said
Nino: I'm fine, but my boy Adrien's still here somewhere!
Ladybug: Don't worry, we'll find him.
Cat Noir: I quit karate. (The elevator opens and a lady comes. She gets frightened) Oh, hey there, Ladybug!
(He tricks the Gorilla into thinking that Ladybug is there and he breaks free from the Gorilla by kicking him and throws him into the elevator)
"Great trick kitty uses a random civilian to be me and make the Gorilla distracted." Marinette said with a smile and kissed Adrien on the cheek
"Yeah, that was my plan all a long." Adrien said
Cat Noir: Enough already. Cataclysm! (uses his Cataclysm to make the elevator malfunction, and the Gorilla falls.)
"How horrible you killed your bodyguard, Adrien." Lila said with her hand over mouth in shock
"He was fine after Marinette used her Miraculous cure." Adrien said
(Cat Noir does a backflip and he picks up his staff and he spins his staff to defend himself but he sees Ladybug and Nino)
"Do you ever use those ears on top of your head, Adrien?" Ivan asked
"Yeah, I do." Adrien said
"When?" Alya asked
"You'll see after 3 episodes to go." Gary said
Cat Noir: Oh, sorry. I thought you were Simon Says.
Nino: I saw him! He's got a whole army together!
"A whole army to look for one person, now that is ridiculous." Gary said
Nino: But he's my buddy!
Cat Noir: Uh... you're right. Maybe he's hiding. I'll leave you to look for him. Let's meet up at Gabriel Agreste's place later on. (closes the door) Finding Adrien will be a piece of cake! (turns back into Adrien)
"Yes, finding him would be a piece of cake considering he's you." Alix sarcastically said and her friends laughed
Adrien: Plagg, hide. (Meets Ladybug and Nino) Nino!
Nino: Adrien! Dude, you okay?
Adrien: I'm fine. (sees Ladybug; timidly) ...Hello?
Ladybug: Uh... Hello! You sure you're okay?
"Well, this is awkward." Alya whispered to her friends and they laughed at the comment
Adrien: I'm fine, really. But we've got to get to my house now! My father's in danger!
Ladybug: Let's go. Cat Noir will meet us there.
"Yes, he would meet you there considering he's next to you in his civilian form." Juleka sarcastically said
Scene: Agreste mansion.
Adrien: Nathalie, where's my father? He's in danger!
Nathalie: He knows already.
Gabriel: Good evening, Ladybug.
Adrien: Father, you've gotta get outta here. The hypnotist Simon Says is coming after you!
Gabriel: What? And be dictated by a madman? Certainly not.
"He has so much faith in you two defeating this villain." Zoe said
"Yes he does." Adrien said
Adrien: But father, he's dangerous! Who knows what he'll do?
Gabriel: Head up to your room now. You've had enough excitement for today. Nathalie, make sure they stay there. I have to apologize for my son, Ladybug. He's like his mother. Way too overly dramatic.
"I'm not that overly dramatic, am I?" Adrien asked
"We don't know, we don't know what your mother was like." Rose said
Ladybug: But he's right, you know. Simon Says is a real threat. You're in a lot of danger!
Gabriel: What could possibly happen with you here to protect me?
Nino: You sure your old man isn't some robot or something?
Adrien: When my father's concerned I'm never sure of anything. (They enter Adrien's room)
Nino: Hoho! Dude! I've seen stadiums tinier than your room!
"It's purr-fect for parties." Kim said throwing a pun in and every boy who attended nodded in agreement
Adrien: Make yourself at home. I'm gonna take a shower.
Nino: Now?!
Adrien: What can I say? It's the model in me! (enters the shower; to Plagg) Why doesn't my father ever listen to me?
[ Transformation Sequence ]
Adrien: Plagg, claws out! (Adrien transforms into Cat Noir)
"How did I not like Chat Noir; I mean look at him that suit sticks to his body and I can see every muscle of his and that butt is quite sexy." Marinette said looking at the screen with flirty look on her face
"We'll Milady how about you get another closer look then." Adrien said lifting his shirt off
"Keep it in your pants, we just had a break can you guys wait until we finished Timebreaker then you can do what you were going to do." Gary said
Adrien put his shirt down but he moved Marinette onto his lap and Marinette felt his hard-on on her butt and she smiled at the feeling.
(Meanwhile, Ladybug is looking at some pictures of Adrien modeling.)
Gabriel: Isn't he flawless?
Ladybug: Huh? What? Flaw-what?
Gabriel: Adrien, my son. He's the image of perfection, don't you think?
Ladybug: Oh, yes, he's perfect. I mean, um, I don't know him very well, but he seems...
"In or out of the suit, Marinette persona will show through her tough and badass Ladybug persona." Alix said and her friends smiled and give off a giggle.
"It's not funny." Marinette said
"Your right it's hilarious." Alya said and her friends laughed while Marinette pouted
Gabriel: I've never noticed your earrings before. They really are quite unique. May I? (Ladybug's yo-yo rings)
"This proves that Gabriel is working for Shadow Moth since he asked about your earrings." Alya said
"I thought he was just asking because he wants to know about them but now after hearing what he said it was quite concerning that he almost got my Miraculous." Marinette said
"He said the same thing about my ring as well." Adrien said
"This is quite suspicious, but we need more intel to go on." Alya said
Ladybug: Excuse me. (To her yo-yo) Cat Noir, where were you?
Cat Noir: I, I was... keeping Simon Says at bay!
Ladybug: And? Cat Noir?
Cat Noir: (sees the hypnotized people) I couldn't keep him away. He's coming. He's got company. (Cat Noir enters the room) Close off all exits! They're coming from another direction! Do as I say! Engage the self-defense system, we need total lockdown! (Gabriel activates the total defense system)
"I'm glad I'm not on the receiving end of Chat Noir's angry voice, if he used that voice on me I would be heartbroken and sad that Chat got angry at me." Marinette said
Announcer: Lockdown engaged.
Gabriel: How do you know so much about the system?
Cat Noir: Uh... In a house like this... it's a given!
Gabriel: They won't get in. This house is built like a fortress.
"Why is your house built like a fortress, is Shadow Moth hiding in your house and you don't know about it." Max said
"I hope not with the number of times I transformed in my bedroom." Adrien said
"We need you out of that house before you become an akuma." Luka said
"Yeah, we don't want Adrien or Chat Noir akumatized do we." Adrien said and people shook their heads not wanting a akumatized Chat Noir while Marinette sat there with a scared look in her face after she remembered Chat Blanc and she shook her head to clear the imagine
"(I promise that Adrien will never get akumatized again, I can't have Chat Blanc returning again.)" Marinette thought
Scene: Gabriel's atelier
(The lights are off)
Announcer: Emergency power on.
"Where does he get the power from?" Max asked
"That I do not know." Adrien said
(The lights are back on)
Cat Noir: There are too many of them. Your defense system is failing!
Ladybug: Adrien and Nino! I better go get them!
Gabriel: Here, Nathalie. Pick the controls in case you need to unlock an exit. She's coming with you.
Cat Noir: I'll reinforce the outer defenses. Go hide in the atrium. It's not safe in here.
Gabriel: No one tells me what to do. Not even a super.
Cat Noir: You're in danger, like everyone else! (takes the other control) So stop pretending you're above us all, just do what I tell you to!
"Well done Adrien you stood up to your father for the first time and he doesn't know it's you behind the mask of Chat Noir." Kagami said
"Don't congratulate him he just yelled at his father." Lila said
(Gabriel and Cat Noir are shocked)
Gabriel: Quite a temper. You remind me of someone.
(Cat Noir exits the room. Gabriel looks at a picture of Emilie.)
"I'm still glad I don't get Adrien's temper pointed at me." Marinette said
"It's only a matter of time Marinette." Gary said
"What do you mean "It's only a matter of time."?" Alya asked
"You'll see in the future." Gary said
Scene: Outside the mansion. The hypnotized people are invading.
Hawk Moth: I don't think that's a good idea, Simon Says.
"He's making Simon Says not come near your home." Alix said
"Yeah, he is, this proves that he has a base of operations in the mansion but where?" Adrien asked confused
"(He won't like who Hawk Moth/Shadow Moth is.)" Every akumatized villain said since Chat Blanc said who Hawk Moth/Shadow Moth identity is
Simon Says: Gabriel is here!
Hawk Moth: Yes, but don't forget our deal. I feel Ladybug and Cat Noir nearby. Once you've got them in front of you, you'll be able to honor our agreement. Just take their jewels, the Miraculouses.
Simon Says: It's as good as done. Simon says we'll defeat them!
"And yet we still win." Marinette said
"You guys need a break from protecting Paris." Random Paris Citizen said
"I wish but Shadow Moth won't let us catch a break." Marinette said
Scene: Agreste mansion. Ladybug and Nathalie enter Adrien's room.
Nino: Ladybug! What's going down?
Ladybug: We need to move to safer ground. Where is Adrien?
Nino: Taking a shower.
Ladybug: Now?
Nino: It's the model in him.
Ladybug: Take Nino to the atrium. I'll take care of Adrien. Leave the remote control with me. (Nathalie gives her the remote control; Ladybug knocks on the bathroom door) A-drien? Adrien! (Cat Noir enters the bathroom and hears her. He turns the shower on) Eeee!
"Why did you turn the shower on and couldn't you have shouted I'm naked in here?" Marc asked
"That was the only thing I can think of since Ladybug here keeps saying that our identities should remain a secret and that knowing each other identity is dangerous." Adrien said
Adrien: (Pokes his head around the corner) Yeah?
Ladybug: Oh! Must... it-eh, to go! He he. Too dangerous... to leave!
Adrien: Can I put on my clothes first?
Ladybug: Sure! If you must... I-I mean, of course you can. (shuts the bathroom door)
(Both sigh of relief)
"So, you wanted to see me naked did ya." Adrien whispered in Marinette's ear which made Marinette shiver at Adrien sexy voice
Scene: Gabriel's atelier. Nathalie and Nino go to where Gabriel is.
Gabriel: Where's my son?
Nino: He'll be here. He's with Ladybug.
Gabriel: Mmm.
"What's with that look, Gabriel?" Marinette asked
Scene: Adrien's room. Ladybug sees there is a picture of Mrs. Agreste on the computer.
"Your Mum is very beautiful, Kitty, now I see where you get your good looks from." Marinette said snuggling into Adrien's chest
"Thanks Milady" Adrien said kissing top of Marinette's head
Ladybug: (gasps)
(He goes to his bedroom with the towel around his neck)
Adrien: My mother on her 17th birthday. She was pretty, huh?
"I would have like to meet your mother, she raised a well-mannered son who treats my daughter with respect." Sabine said
Adrien and Ladybug: She's... got your eyes. (both gasp and blush at the same time)
"She totally does my kiity." Marinette said
(The hypnotized people invade the mansion)
Ladybug: (Pushes Adrien in the bathroom) Stay here! (closes the door)
Plagg: Oh my! What was that all about? Sweet love?
(Adrien blushes then he shakes his head)
Adrien: ...Gotta help her!
[ Transformation Sequence ]
Adrien: Plagg, claws out! (Adrien transforms into Cat Noir)
Plagg: Oh, not again! (There's no actual transformation animation)
"Stop complaining you lazy cat." Tikki scolded her counter-part or was still asleep on top of Marinette's head
"He's still sleeping on top of your head?" Tikki asked confused
"I don't mind him sleeping on top of my head." Marinette said
Scene: Gabriel's atelier.
Gabriel: Are they coming?
(Nathalie tries to keep the door locked, but the hypnotized people knock it open)
"She's only one person holding the door against a whole army of hypnotized people, so what was her plan?" Gary asked
Simon Says: Gotcha.
(Meanwhile, Cat Noir arrives at the ceiling, but the hypnotized people are out to get him. Ladybug, in Adrien's room, is dodging them. She goes to Gabriel's room, but sees nobody there. Cat Noir appears in the window and also sees the empty room with knocked-over paintings and the security terminal.)
Cat Noir: Well, that's just great.
"Gabriel said he wouldn't get taken by a mad man, but look at him now, he got taken by said mad man." Alya said
Scene: TVi Studio.
Simon Says: Welcome to another exciting hour of "The Challenge"! Good evening again from Simon Says. Viewers, I've kept my promise. Here's Gabriel!
(Gabriel appears, the Gorilla accompanying him.)
Simon Says: Simon says... you are a butterfly! (throws a butterfly card at him)
Gabriel: (Stars flapping with his arms and jumping around.) Flap flap, flutter flutter, flutter flutter, flap flap!
Everyone laughed at Gabriel acting like a butterfly and flapping his arms around like a butterfly
"We should had filmed this and post it on the internet back then." Alya said between her laughs
"(I wonder, what he did with the butterfly Miraculous?)" Gary thought
Ladybug: We've gotta save Mr. Agreste!
Simon Says: Tomorrow, Butterfly, you will be no more.
Ladybug: The akuma's gotta be in one of those cards.
Cat Noir: But which one? There are so many of'em.
(Ladybug and Cat Noir enter the studio)
Simon Says: Ladybug, Cat Noir, you can save him by giving me your Miraculouses. Do the right thing...
Ladybug: In your dreams. Lucky Charm! (Throws the yo-yo into the air and another yo-yo appears)
"A Yo-yo?!" everyone shouted confused except for Marinette, Adrien and Simon Says
"Why did your Lucky Charm give you another yo-yo when you have a magical one?" Sabrina asked
"You'll see." Marinette said pointing at the screen
Cat Noir: A regular yo-yo? But you've got a magical one!
Ladybug: I'll figure it out later.
Simon Says: Simon says... your yo-yo is useless! (throws a card at the yo-yo and it falls to the floor, the 'unbreakable' cord snaps. Cat Noir knocks his card over) Simon says... your stick is...
"Oh, Simon Says broke your magical one so know you have to use the Lucky Charm one to try and defeat him." Max said
"Exactly." Marinette said
Cat Noir: Useless? I don't think so. I'm not gonna let you get a word in edgewise!
(Cat Noir is fighting Simon Says while Ladybug is ripping up the cards, to see if the akuma is in one of them)
Simon Says: Simon says...
Cat Noir: (taunting) Na-na-na-na-na-na-na, na-na-na-na-na-na-na.
Simon Says: It doesn't matter whether you can hear me or not, all that is important is what Simon says! Simon says remove your Miraculous and give it to me!
(Cat Noir avoids the cards and pushes Ladybug away from them.)
Gabriel: ...Flap, flutter, flutter, flap...
Simon Says: Simon says... take off like an airplane! (Throws an airplane card at him and he starts acting like an airplane, he runs out the room, making airplane-noises)
Cat Noir: He's headed for the roof. We got to stop him.
(Ladybug stops him by grabbing his tail)
Ladybug: This is our last chance to capture the akuma and I can't do it alone! If we free Simon Says, we free Mr. Agreste too!
"So, Simon Says wanted to kill Gabriel after he denied to do his show." Bridgette said
"Yeah, people get akumatized over the silliest thing and their powers are either weak or powerful based on what they were upset for." Marinette said
Cat Noir: Then let's not waste another minute.
Simon Says: And how will you defeat me without your yo-yo?
(Gabriel enters the roof and starts running around like an airplane.)
Simon Says: Simon says... it's over! (throws black cards at them, but Cat Noir hits them with his baton)
Ladybug: Follow my lead.
Simon Says: Simon says...
(Ladybug knocks the deck of cards out of Simon Says' hands with the regular yo-yo. Cat Noir steps on the yo-yo and uses his Cataclysm to disintegrate the cards. He throws the deck to Ladybug, who throws it on the ground. The akuma flies off)
"Using your Lucky Charm to knock the cards out of Simon Says hands and defeating him at the same time now that is genius." Rose said
"I know it was but I still have to repair my magic yo-yo and capture the akuma before I save the day." Marinette said
Simon Says: That's not possible! I made your yo-yo useless!
Ladybug: This one yes (she holds up her normal yo-yo), but not that one (she holds up her Lucky charm yo-yo). Miraculous Ladybug!
(Ladybug throws the Lucky Charm into the air and its energy de-hypnotizes the people. Gabriel gets dehypnotized right before he's about to jump of the TVi tower, he gulps and walks backwards. Ladybug's yo-yo is also fixed.)
Ladybug: My yo-yo! No more evildoing for you, little akuma. Time to de-evilize! (catches the akuma with her yo-yo) Gotcha! (releases the de-evilized akuma) Bye bye, little butterfly.
"You looked happy getting your yo-yo back." Gary said
"Of course, I was happy, it was my weapon and it helps me travel around Paris." Marinette said
(Simon Says is turned back into Simon)
Ladybug and Cat Noir: Pound it!
"Pound it!" Marinette and Adrien said together and they both fully kissed on the lips.
"You guys are still cute together." Rose squealed
Scoreboard update number of people akumatized
Ivan: 2
Aurore, Alya, Nathaniel, Rose, Kim, Xavier, Vincent, Theo, and Simon: 1
(They go to the roof and see Gabriel.)
Cat Noir: I'm afraid your flight's been canceled, sir.
Gabriel: You?
Cat Noir: Prefer Ladybug? Can't say I blame you. (He puts his arm around Ladybug's shoulder. Their Miraculouses beep)
Ladybug: Cat Noir, your ring! You better get out of here. (She sees his ring)
Cat Noir: Like a cat on a hot tin roof. See you again soon, Mr. Agreste. (He shakes hands with Gabriel, who looks at Cat Noir's ring) And you, m'lady. (He bows to Ladybug then he runs away)
Gabriel: Hmm...
"That's still suspicious at how he looks at your ring." Marinette whispered to Adrien
"Yeah it is." Adrien whispered looking at the screen
Scene: Adrien's room. Adrien is looking at the pictures of his mother on the phone with Plagg sitting on Adrien's shirt while they are facing the window.
(Plagg hears the door opening so he hides in Adrien's button down shirt)
(Gabriel comes and hugs him. Adrien looks very surprised. Gabriel notices his ring)
Gabriel: I've never noticed your ring before.
"He's really suspicious he asked Ladybug about her earrings and now he's asking Adrien about his ring, I hope he's not really working for Shadow Moth." Nino asked
"Let's hope not, Adrien would be devasted if he was working for Shadow Moth." Max said
Adrien: Is that the only thing you've never noticed about me?
Gabriel: I'm glad everything worked out for the best.
(When Gabriel leaves Adrien's room, Plagg appears on Adrien's shirt when he is concerned after Adrien and his father hugged each other)
Plagg: Hmm?
"Even Plagg's suspicious about Gabriel's behavior." Kim said
Scene: TVi Studio. The Challenge is on the air again.
Alec: Welcome back to everyone's #1 game show, The Challenge! Last week, our cool DJ friend Nino won the challenge. So, let's welcome him back again. Come on out, DJ Nino! (Nino enters the stage)
"Does Alec ever catch a break from being on TV I always see him on TV all the time." Gay said
"He does get a break but he's the only MC we have so he has a more work load then all of us." Nadja said
"Why don't you guys hire more people then?" Gary asked and Nadja stayed silent
Tom: Looks like you weren't absent or late all week! Excellent news, Marinette. You can go join your friends on the set.
Marinette: I think I'd rather watch with you guys. That's... if you and Mom'd like that?
(Marinette hugs her parents)
Alec: (on TV) So we upped the challenge for you tonight, Nino. You're gonna have to get two celebrities dancing instead of one! However, this time, you can choose your opponents.
Nino: Oh, I've got this one in the bag. I'm gonna pick two buds I know won't let me down. Ladybug and Cat Noir!
"That was a fun day I get to slow dance with Mlady on stage and she enjoyed it." Adrien said hugging Marinette closer to him
"Yeah, it was I enjoyed the break for once and Chat was really friendly without any puns or flirty remarks." Marinette said
Marinette: (gasps) Uh... On second thought, I'm wiped. I'm gonna take a nap. Don't wanna be late for school tomorrow! And, you know, mess up that perfect school record! Tell me what happens, 'kay?
Tom: Sure.
Sabine: Of course, honey.
Tom: Sometimes I just can't figure that girl out.
Sabine: Oh, give her a break. You know there's nothing more demanding than going to school! (hugs Tom)
(Ladybug goes to the roof, and swings her way to the studio.)
"It seems like being a hero is more important for her." Sabine said to the adults and they nodded their heads in agreement.
"That was an interesting episode and we learned something about Gabriel." Alya said
"That he's working with Shadow Moth." Alix said
"Yeah but it could be a theory." Zoe said
"We'll soon find out who Shadow Moth is." Mylene said
"What is the next episode?" Tom asked
"Let me see." Gary said looking at the screen
"The next episode is Rogercop meaning you'll see what happened." Gary said
Everyone looked at the screen to see the next episode
