Scene: Interior, the Agreste mansion, in the repository. Gabriel stands in front of Emilie's cryogenic pod.
Gabriel: Emilie, everything I've done, I've done for you. And if I had to, I would do it again a hundred times. (His phone vibrates from his pocket and answers it.)
Nathalie: (on the phone) It's time, sir. (Gabriel ends the call and walks away.)
Scene: The Parisian streets. Bob Roth chases after a penny, only for the penny to slip in a sewer lid.
Bob: Don't touch my penny! It's mine! (The coin falls in the sewer.) No! Where did it go? (cries)
"Is Bob seriously crying over a penny?!" Alya asked in exasperation as well as everyone else.
Scene: Inside the Agreste car, the Butterfly Miraculous on Gabriel flashes as it senses a negative emotion.
"Oh, please don't tell us that my father is going to akumatize Bob over this?!" Adrien asked in which Angel nodded in confirmation, making everyone else groan in exasperation.
Gabriel: Adrien, I'm not just feeling well enough. You will have to represent me.
Adrien: But Father, you're launching your hundredth collection tonight! You're the one the journalists want to interview, not me.
Gabriel: (fidgets with his ring) Adrien, I am your father, and I am giving you the responsibility to attend this press conference. Under no circumstances will you leave that room until it's finished. All I'm asking is that you honor my work and the memory of your mother. Do we have an agreement?
Adrien: Yes, Father.
"If that's the case, it'd be impossible for me to be Cat Noir!" Adrien said in dread in which everyone else murmured in exasperated agreement.
Scene: Exterior, the Grand Palais. The limousine stops in front of the building as Adrien gets off. He walks inside to attend the interview as per Gabriel's word. A journalist raises her hand.
Journalist: The one-hundredth collection of the brand Gabriel is dedicated to your recently departed mother. How do you feel about this dedication?
Adrien: Since I can remember, everything my father has done, he's done for her.
Scene: The Parisian streets. Moolak fires at the Parisians and turns them into coins inside his vault.
"What exactly did Shadow Moth just turn Bob into?" Marinette asked as she cringed at Bob's akuma form as well as everyone else in the audience.
"Bob's been akumatized into Moolak, a supervillain shaped like a giant money safe. He turns people into coins and collects them," Angel explained about Moolak, which made everybody else cringe more.
"OK, I've heard of money-hungry, but this is ridiculous," Tom noted in exasperation in which everyone else loudly murmured in agreement.
"I don't know which is sadder. The fact that Bob was crying over a penny or my father akumatized him over it?" Adrien noted as he facepalmed.
Moolak: (laughs) My money-making lasers are gonna make me even richer!
Shadow Moth: (from his lair) Bring me Ladybug and Cat Noir's Miraculous, Moolak!
Moolak: Depends on how much these trinkets are worth!
Shadow Moth: (from his lair) How much is your power which I can take back from you in an instant worth to you?
Moolak: (groans) A guy can't even strike a bargain these days! (Ryuko's whirlwind strikes from outside of Moolak's vault and electrifies it. The superhero team chases after Moolak on the rooftops. He laughs evilly) You'll never get your hands on my lucky coin!
"Yeah, since Adrien is stuck and can't be Cat Noir, you've recruited all the other superheroes you have for help," Angel said as she looked at Marinette who nodded in understanding while the teens who are the superheroes on-screen looked at the screen in excitement at seeing themselves in action again.
Ladybug: We have to get to Moolak if we're gonna defeat him! Pegasus, use your power now!
Pegasus: Voyage! (He attempts to enter the portal he's made, only to be blocked by a pile of coins. He coughs out the coins inside his mouth.) I can't teleport! The safe is so filled up with coins, there's no room!
Vesperia: It'd be simpler just to Cataclysm the whole safe!
Ladybug: I know! I already left I don't know how many messages for Cat Noir!
Scene: Interior, the Grand Palais. The interview is still on hold. Adrien overlooks the battle above the clear roof of the venue.
Moolak: (laughs) I'm getting so rich!
Nathalie: (from the earpiece) Adrien, your father is counting on you!
Adrien: Next question!
Scene: The Parisian streets. The battle continues. Ladybug continues to contact Cat Noir but fails.
Cat Noir's voicemail: You can purr your message after the "meow"! Meow! (Ladybug puts down her bug phone and activates her power.)
Ladybug: Lucky Charm! (A firetruck drops in front of Ladybug. She comes up with a plan to use her Lucky Charm. Her Lucky vision highlights Moolak, the firetruck's ladder, Vesperia, Polymouse, Purple Tigress, Viperion, and Carapace.) Got it! (Ladybug hurls her yo-yo around Moolak.) Gear up, guys!
Polymouse: Multitude! (Polymouse multiplies and Moolak fires at her clones, while Purple Tigress and Pigella throw Vesperia towards Moolak.)
Vesperia: Venom!
Moolak: Nice try! (fires at Vesperia)
Carapace: Shell-ter! (shields Vesperia, protecting her from Moolak's shots)
Moolak: Blasted super nerds!
Carapace: Unshield! (Vesperia immobilizes the safe and bounces off.)
Ladybug: Viperion, try every possible combination!
Viperion: Second Chance! (Viperion tries the codes from 0000 to 0003 but fails, reverting time with each try.)
Ladybug: Viperion, try every possible combination!
Viperion: Second Chance! (Viperion tries the code 0099, which grants access to open the safe.) Jackpot! And it only took me a hundred tries! (Viperion opens the safe and coins fall out, along with Moolak. Ladybug catches the coin.)
"I feel sorry for you. This must be extremely exhausting," Kagami joked to Luka in which he chuckled in agreement.
Moolak: Noooo! (Ladybug cracks the coin and frees the akuma.)
Scene: Interior, the Grand Palais. The interview is still on hold. Adrien overlooks the Miraculous Ladybug cure above the clear roof of the venue.
Journalist: About your new commercial...
Scene: The Parisian streets. Moolak de-transforms into Bob Roth.
Everyone: Pound it!
"Pound it!" Marinette and the teens involved in the battle did a group fist-bump for the on-screen victory.
Scene: Shadow Moth's lair. Shadow Moth is standing in front of the lair's window.
Shadow Moth: I'll start over a hundred times if I have to, Ladybug! All I have to do is win once! (The lair window closes shut.)
Scene: In the sewers.
Viperion: Scales rest. (de-transforms into Luka)
Ladybug: Thanks, Luka— (Ladybug reaches for Luka's hand, but Su-Han grabs her arm.)
Su-Han: This really takes the cake!
"Oh, great! Grandmaster Cranky-Pants is back!" Adrien groaned at Grandmaster Su-Han's return along with everyone else.
Ladybug: Grandmaster Su-Han?
Su-Han: Nine! You used nine Miraculouses to defeat a single villain, when Cat Noir could have just used his Cataclysm!
Ladybug: I had to! Cat Noir was missing!
Su-Han: What do you mean missing? You can't just let the holder of one of the most powerful Miraculous go about as he pleases! What if he started making his own decisions, or act it out? Like Shadow Moth!
Ladybug: Cat Noir? Act like Shadow Moth? Wow. Are you blowing this out of proportion just a little?
Su-Han: Not at all. In fact, you should find out who Cat Noir really is, so you can have better control over him.
"So…?" Marinette started asking curiously as well as everyone else in which Angel finished her sentence for her.
"Yeah, this time, Grandmaster Su-Han is ordering you two to reveal your identities to each other," Angel explained in which the two heroes looked at each other in concern.
Ladybug: What? No way! We can't know our true identities! It would be too dangerous if Shadow Moth got a hold of one of us!
Su-Han: I. Don't. Care! Deal with this problem quickly, otherwise I will take back his Miraculous as soon as he shows a whisker! And I'll choose the new Cat Noir myself!
Ladybug: Okay, okay, alright. What if you knew who he was? Would that work?
Su-Han: I... I suppose so. But I'm warning you, if you don't succeed...
Ladybug: I get it. Cat Noir will be replaced. (Su-Han grunts while hopping away.)
"Should he be concerned that I just heard this entire conversation?" Luka asked in which the audience shrugged at each other in confusion.
Luka: Are you really going to do as he asks?
Ladybug: Do I really have a choice in the matter? I can't fight the Celestial Guardian, and I don't wanna take the risk of losing our Cat Noir. I'm gonna need both of you.
Scene: Interior, the Agreste mansion, in Adrien's bathroom. Adrien opens his shower. Plagg zooms out of his jacket.
Adrien: I hope Ladybug didn't need me. Plagg, claws out! (transforms into Cat Noir. He opens his cat phone.)
Cat Noir: Fourteen messages? She must be furious. (calls Ladybug)
Ladybug: (on the phone) Finally!
Cat Noir: I know what you're about to say, Ladybug, but—
Ladybug: (on the phone) Never mind! We got through it. That's all that matters. But we do need to talk. Meet me at the top of the Eiffel Tower.
Cat Noir: (puts down the phone) I get the feeling I'll have my whiskers yanked.
Scene: In the sewers. A wall separates both Luka and Marinette to hide their secret identities.
Luka: I'm wondering, Ladybug. How do you plan to reveal Cat Noir's identity to Su-Han if you don't know who he is?
Marinette: Remember why you must all ignore who Cat Noir and I really are?
Luka: So Shadow Moth leaves us alone when we're not superheroes? If we don't know who you are, we're of no interest to him.
Marinette: Yes. But in fact, if worse comes to worst, a Miraculous holder could know Cat Noir's identity or mine, but not both.
Luka: That way, there'd always be one of you to fight Shadow Moth!
Marinette: Exactly! But for Cat Noir and me, it's different. If we knew each other's identities, all it would take is just for one of us to be akumatized to betray the other.
Luka: And Shadow Moth would win.
Marinette: Tikki, spots on! (transforms into Ladybug)
Luka: Sass, scales slither! (transforms into Viperion)
Scene: In the sewers, Ladybug explains her plan to Viperion.
Ladybug: This is the plan: you stay here hidden. I ask Cat Noir his identity. He tells me...
Viperion: Since I'll hear everything, I'll also know his name.
"But, haven't I already found out their identities during Wishmaker?" Luka asked, confused as well as everybody else.
"Yeah, but these two still don't know that, so you're playing along with this," Angel said as she pointed at the two heroes as everybody else nodded in understanding.
Ladybug: That's when you'll use your power of Second Chance to go back in time. I'll forget everything but you won't.
Viperion: Or I could just ask him myself if you want. It'd be less dangerous that way, wouldn't it?
Ladybug: (grabbing her earpiece from her yo-yo) Cat Noir will only tell if I'm the one asking.
Viperion: Alright, and then I'll tell the Celestial Guardian Cat Noir's identity.
Ladybug: And then he'll finally cut me some slack.
Viperion: Are you sure the fact that I know who Cat Noir is won't be a problem?
Ladybug: Like I said, as long as I don't know who he is, everything will be fine. (Viperion smiles.)
Scene: On top of the Eiffel Tower, Ladybug waits for Cat Noir.
Viperion: (through the earpiece) Do you think Cat Noir would agree to this?
Ladybug: (groans) He's been dying to tell me who he is for the longest time. (looks over the fence and sees Cat Noir leaping on the rooftops towards the Eiffel Tower) There he is! Get ready! (Ladybug and Viperion's timers reach at one in the morning.) Now! We're in sync!
Viperion: Second Chance! (Ladybug and Viperion start their timers at five minutes.)
Ladybug: The countdown has begun. It's 1 am, and we've got just five minutes before you transform back. So we've got to be done by 1:05. You'll rewind on my signal.
Cat Noir: (upon landing on top of the Eiffel Tower) I'm sorry, but I really couldn't make it earlier.
Ladybug: (waves) Hey, no big deal! That's the good thing about a team. It's not the two of us anymore!
Cat Noir: Oh, yeah! So then, why did you need me exactly?
Ladybug: Well... actually, it's kind of linked to what happened today. I've given it a lot of thought ever since I became guardian, you know? (leans on the fence) And, I've realized that... you were right after all. (turns to Cat Noir) We should tell each other our secret identities.
Cat Noir: But, aren't the secrets supposed to protect us?
Ladybug: I thought so. But when you didn't show up today, I didn't know how to locate you because we can't communicate when we're not transformed. If something bad happened to one of us when we're not heroes, we could know about it. It would make us stronger. We'd be able to defeat Shadow Moth quicker!
Cat Noir: (walks towards Ladybug's side) So, we're doing this, for real?
Ladybug: Yes.
Cat Noir: Wow. Okay. You go ahead, m'lady. Guardians first!
Ladybug: No, you first.
Cat Noir: Let's do it together. (Viperion listens to their conversation while he's in the sewers.)
Ladybug: No, I mean it. You go first. I'm... feeling kind of... awkward. (The timer on Viperion's lyre indicates almost a minute left.)
Cat Noir: Fine. I'm... I'm... Adrien Agreste.
Ladybug: (bursts into laughter) And I'm Audrey Bourgeois! (continues laughing) You? Adrien Agreste? There's no way! You two aren't alike at all!
"I guess you weren't expecting that reaction, huh?" Marinette nervously asked her boyfriend after seeing herself react to Cat Noir revealing his real name on-screen.
"It's fine, m'lady. With two identities, I really do act like I'm two different people," Adrien said with a small chuckle and then kissed her hand, making her smile.
Cat Noir: Claws in. (de-transforms into Adrien. Ladybug's eyes widened.)
Adrien: See? It's really me, Adrien Agreste. What about you? (Ladybug remains to be dumbfounded.)
Viperion: (through the communicator) Ladybug! I heard his name! Shall I rewind?
Ladybug: No— Wait— Not— Not yet.
Adrien: (frowns) I understand. It's never easy to show your true self to someone. You'd wonder what the other person would think of you, if they'll like you. It's hard for me, too, you know? My heart's beating so fast, I've waited for this moment for so long! Imagine the stories that I have come up with when you saved my life as Adrien, or when you wanted to give me another Miraculous! It was awful having to hide Cat Noir from you. I'm so glad I don't have to do that anymore! I hope you're not too disappointed. But whoever you are behind that mask, you'll always be the most amazing person in the world.
Viperion: (from the earpiece) Ladybug! We're almost out of time!
Scene: In the sewers, Viperion's timer hits 00:00.
"And…too late to rewind," Angel noted in which the two heroes looked at each other in concern once again.
Viperion: Oh no, there's no going back now. (He de-transforms into Luka, and catches Sass in his hands.)
Luka: I hope she knows what she's doing.
Scene: On top of the Eiffel Tower, Ladybug attempts to reveal her identity.
Ladybug: (hesitantly) I am... Ma— Ma— Mari— madly awkward!
Adrien: Take all the time you need. I'll wait 'til you're ready. Besides, now that you know who I am, you know where to find me!
Ladybug: Uhh, right! I'll take my think to time— er— uh— see you sooner! (swings away)
"OK, blondie, how was that not a clue for you?" Alya jokingly asked Adrien in which everyone else chuckled in agreement while the blond boy blushed in embarrassment.
Scene: In the sewers, Luka returns the Snake Miraculous to Ladybug.
Luka: What made you change your mind?
Ladybug: I... guess I'm just curious to see what's gonna happen. After that...
Luka: But you said it was too dangerous to know his identity.
Ladybug: As long as Cat Noir doesn't know who I am, it'll be okay. And I'm gonna make sure of that, starting with Grandmaster Su-Han.
Scene: On the rooftops, Ladybug explains to Su-Han that Cat Noir could not know Ladybug's identity. They came to an agreement and went on their ways.
Scene: Marinette's room. Marinette sits in front of her board full of pictures of her friends.
Tikki: This is wonderful! Since Cat Noir's in love with Ladybug, that means he's in love with you! You and Adrien can finally be together!
Marinette: (grabs the picture of Adrien from her board) It's not that simple, Tikki. I'm in love with Adrien, but I've never been in love with Cat Noir. (lies down on her bed) It's as if they are two completely different people! Is the Adrien I'm in love with the fake Adrien? Is Cat Noir the "real" Adrien? Who's the real Adrien behind Adrien?
"Don't feel bad, m'lady. I'm having trouble with that question myself," Adrien said, trying to console his girlfriend's confused feelings on-screen.
Tikki: I don't know. Why don't you ask Alya?
Marinette: I can't. She already knows I'm Ladybug. She can never know that Adrien is Cat Noir. It'd be too dangerous.
Scene: Interior, the Agreste mansion, Adrien's room.
Adrien: (while climbing his rock climbing wall) When she's ready, she will tell me who she is! In the meantime, she'll get to know me! (slides down the stairs) And then, who knows? (rides his swivel chair across his room) I'm so char-meow-ing after all!
Plagg: I usually like smelly cheese, but I get the feeling that this is gonna turn into some really really stinky cheese. (eats a piece of Camembert)
Adrien: Woohoohooo!
Scene: Collège Françoise Dupont, Ms. Bustier's classroom.
Ms. Bustier: Who can tell me who wrote "I Am a Cat"?
Adrien: Meow meow? (The whole class laughs, except for Marinette.) Or in human language, Natsume Sōseki. (Adrien turns to Cat Noir in Marinette's point of view.) He wrote the book "I Am a Cat". Sorry for the joke, Ms. Bustier!
Scene: Collège Françoise Dupont, in the locker room. Adrien bumps into Marinette.
Marinette: Sorry, I'm so madly awkward. Uh— I mean clumsy. I'm madly clumsy—
Adrien: Don't worry about cat— Uh, I mean, that! It happens to everyone. (Like earlier, Adrien turns to Cat Noir in Marinette's point of view, and she runs away.)
Scene: Marinette's room. Marinette wakes up and yawns. As she turns to the board with pictures of Adrien, it quickly turns into Cat Noir in her point of view. She goes out of the bakery and bumps into a poster of Adrien. She runs away, with all the other posters of Adrien turning into Cat Noir.
"I'm having trouble adjusting to this, aren't I?" Marinette asked, based on her interactions with Adrien on-screen in which everyone else loudly murmured in agreement with some chuckles. Marinette then looked at Adrien with a sad guilty look on her face in which he gave her a reassuring smile.
Scene: On the deck of Liberty, Kitty Section performs "I Love Unicorns". Adrien performs with them, but as he looks up, Marinette sees visions of him as Cat Noir once again, which catches her off guard and leaves her seat. Luka notices this and goes to Marinette to talk to her.
Rose:
I only want them to be mine, mine, mine.
Dreaming about them in the nights!
You know I love unicorns
And nothing makes me feel better!
Luka: I feel like you're not hearing the same tune anymore when you look at Adrien.
Adrien: (to Kitty Section) I think that song sounded great!
Marinette: Luka, have you ever thought you knew a person really well only to find out that they have a secret side to them that you couldn't possibly imagine?
Luka: Yes.
Marinette: And, did it... completely change your way of seeing them? Like all of a sudden, everything feels strange 'cause you don't really know them anymore?
Luka: Quite the opposite, actually. Once I got over the shock, it helped me to get to know them better, and liked them even more. (He stands from his seat. As Luka walked away, in Marinette's point of view, she still sees Adrien as Cat Noir. But as Luka walked across her sight of Adrien, he is seen as his normal self. Marinette smiles at the view.)
Scene: On the rooftops. Ladybug is running towards Lollipop Boy, while Cat Noir is nowhere to be found. She decides to give Adrien a call.
"UGHHH! How many times with that lollipop monster?!" Marinette loudly groaned in dread at seeing the lollipop sentimonster again along with everyone else.
Scene: Collège Françoise Dupont, in the courtyard. Mr. D'Argencourt's fencing class is in session. Adrien is up against Kagami, and his communicator rings.
Adrien: Sorry, I... I think I'm thirsty! (runs to the locker room)
Scene: Collège Françoise Dupont, in the locker room.
Ladybug: Adrien, the lollipop monster is back. Meet me at the Arc de Triomphe!
Adrien: Right away! Plagg, claws out! (transforms into Cat Noir)
Scene: Arc de Triomphe. Battle ensues.
Cat Noir: The usual maneuvers, m'lady?
Scene: Gare du Nord. Aquabug is smiling over at Aqua Noir as he battles Syren.
Scene: Place des Vosges. The Mime de-transforms into Fred. Cat Noir opens an umbrella. Lightning strikes, and Ladybug imagines him as Adrien for a split second.
Cat Noir and Ladybug: Pound it.
Scene: In the alleys. Ladybug and Cat Noir land safely.
Cat Noir: Claws in! (He de-transforms into Adrien.)
Adrien: Well, see you next time, m'lady! (Ladybug smiles once he walks away, but she stops him from doing so as she grabs his arm.)
Ladybug: Wait! I'm... I'm ready now. (Adrien starts to blush as his heart beats faster and faster.) Spots off. (She de-transforms into Marinette, leaving an awestruck and blushing Adrien in front of her.)
"OH, BOY!" Everyone in the audience loudly said in excitement once Ladybug revealed her secret identity to Adrien on-screen.
Marinette: Please, say something! (Adrien remains dazed.) I guess, now that you know it's me, you don't like me anymore.
Adrien: No! (holds Marinette's hands) It's that I just found out that one of my closest friends is the person I love and admire most in the world. (He immediately hugs Marinette, with Tikki and Plagg looking at each other with uncertainty.)
"Awwww!" Most of the audience gushed at the romantic moment between the two heroes.
Scene: Collège Françoise Dupont, Ms. Bustier's classroom. While Ms. Bustier reads a piece of literature to the class, Adrien passes a love note to Marinette. After reading it, she fondly smiles at him.
Ms. Bustier: Come, my fine cat, against my loving heart; sheathe your sharp claws, and settle. And let my eyes into your pupils dart, where agate sparks with metal.
Scene: Interior, the Agreste mansion, Adrien's room. Gabriel opens the door and overhears Adrien and Marinette's phone call.
Marinette: (on the phone) I can't wait to see you.
Adrien: Me too.
Marinette: (on the phone) See you at the movies tomorrow, then!
Adrien: (softly) Are you hanging up?
Marinette: (on the phone) No, you hang up!
Adrien: Sweet dreams, m'lady. (ends the call. Gabriel gasps, realizing that Adrien is Cat Noir.)
"UH-OH!" Everyone in the audience exclaimed in panic now that Mr. Agreste/Shadow Moth had just figured out Adrien is Cat Noir on-screen.
"Note to self: no Ladybug pet names when I'm not transformed!" Adrien said as he facepalmed at his slip-up on-screen with everyone else murmuring in agreement with small glares towards the boy.
Scene: Interior, the Agreste mansion, Adrien's room, in the morning.
Gabriel: Adrien, get up.
Adrien: (yawns) Yes, Father.
Gabriel: Follow me. (walks into his atelier)
Adrien: Yes, Father. (follows Gabriel)
Gabriel: This way. (enters the repository. Adrien walks up to the painting of his mother and enters the repository.)
Scene: The Agreste mansion's repository. Adrien is shocked.
Plagg: Did you know this was in your house?
Adrien: I'm not even sure we're still in my house. Stay hidden, Plagg. (leaves the elevator, and walks up and sees Emilie in the casket) Mom?
Gabriel: One hundred weeks since she disappeared. One hundred times have I wanted to tell you. (removes scarf) Nooroo, Duusu, dual metamorphosis! (transforms into Shadow Moth in front of Adrien, frightening him)
Shadow Moth: One hundred times have I tried to seize Ladybug and Cat Noir's Miraculous to bring her back! To think that this illusion was right here under my roof! (releases an akuma, which enters Adrien's phone) Ephemeral, I am your father, Shadow Moth. I'm giving you the power to speed up time and help me bring your mother back. All I ask in return are Ladybug's Miraculous... and yours.
Adrien: (tries to resist) No! You can't ask me to do that! No, no!
Most of the audience began to tear up at the sight of Adrien about to be akumatized into Ephemeral by his father on-screen, especially the two heroes themselves.
Shadow Moth: Do you understand me, son?
Adrien: (succumbs) Yes, Father. (takes off his ring and gives it to Shadow Moth, who puts it on)
Plagg: Cataclys—!
Shadow Moth: Enough, kwami! I am your master now! (Adrien transforms into Ephemeral)
Scene: Cinema. Marinette waits for Adrien.
Marinette: Adrien? (Marinette sits in the front row. Shadownoir enters in the back. Thinking that it was Adrien who entered, Marinette looks back in delight, before realizing it was Shadownoir.)
Shadownoir: Hello, Ladybug.
"Well, that's an utterly hideous look on him!" Chloe pointed out in exasperation, still angry along with the others about her childhood friend being akumatized.
Marinette: Tikki, spots on! (transforms into Ladybug)
Ladybug: Lucky Charm! (receives a watch with the time at 1:00)
"A WATCH?! WHAT?!" The audience (including the two heroes) loudly asked in exasperation towards the Lucky Charm on-screen.
Shadownoir: (laughs) Could this be the hour of your defeat?
Ephemeral: (touches Ladybug) I'm sorry, I promise this won't take long. (inserts the energy into his chest, speeding up Ladybug's de-transformation)
"What did I just do to her?" Adrien asked, confused about what he just did to his girlfriend on-screen along with everyone else.
"Your power as this supervillain is to speed up time. You just touched Ladybug after she had summoned her Lucky Charm, so you sped up time on her detransformation. So, instead of her transforming back after five minutes, she'll transform back in like five seconds," Angel explained in which her audience nodded in understanding, though with their eyes wide in shock and panic.
Shadownoir: Time flies when we're having fun! (Ladybug runs away) Running is pointless! In just a few seconds you'll be a simple young girl without powers again! (Ladybug takes a picture of the watch and sends it to Luka right before she de-transforms.)
Scene: Luka's room. He receives a notification while playing his guitar.
Luka: "Sass is in my sewing box"? (gasps) Marinette! (runs to Marinette's home)
Scene: Cinema. Shadownoir grabs Marinette.
Shadownoir: Those earrings are MINE!
Marinette: NO! NO! ADRIEN, HELP! (Shadownoir gets ahold of her earrings.)
Shadownoir: Ah! (Throws Marinette away) Yes! My greatest wish will finally come true!
Scene: Dupain-Cheng residence. Luka crashes into the door with his bicycle.
Luka: Sorry! Marinette sent me.
Scene: Marinette's room.
Luka: Sass!
Sass: Don't worry, he knows.
Luka: Sass, Marinette sent me this. I think she wants me to go back to this exact moment. But she knows I can no longer do that.
Sass: You can't, but I can. I can go back to any temporal marker that has been placed in the past.
"You can?!" Luka asked his kwami curiously as well as everyone else.
"Yessss. While you Luka can go back to the moment you activated the power of Sssecond Chanccce and you only have five minutesss before you transform back, I can go back to any sssspecific time in the past, no matter how far," Sass explained as he nodded in confirmation.
Barkk: But when a kwami uses their power without a holder, it always has disastrous consequences!
Wayzz: The situation must really be desperate for the guardian to suggest that! (A harsh red light flashes from outside, along with a loud bang.)
Kwamis: Oh no! Not that, not again! It's the end of the world!
"The end of the world?! I thought he just wanted to wake up his wife?!" Alya asked about Shadow Moth, extremely confused and panicked along with the other humans in the audience (except for Master Fu).
"He does, but making a wish with the Ladybug and Black Cat Miraculouses combined would affect the entire world, not just the people involved," Master Fu pointed out, making the other humans more confused.
"You'll understand in a sec," Angel said as she pointed to the screen with the audience looking at it with full attention.
Luka: What's going on?
Sass: Shadow Moth must have taken control of Ladybug and Cat Noir's Miraculous, and he made a wish!
Luka: But what has that got to do with the end of the world?
Sass: Imagine the world as your school notebook. Everything inside is written in blue, but now you want it to be red instead. Before you can rewrite anything in the color you'd like, you have to erase everything that's already been written in blue!
"So, let me see if I have this correct: once someone makes a wish with those two Miraculouses, the entire world will end and be reborn in accordance with the wish made?" Max asked the kwamis on behalf of the other humans in the audience.
"Exactly! But who knows how it'll be reborn?!" Tikki pointed out as she and the other kwamis nodded in confirmation, much to the humans' wide-eyed shock (except for Master Fu who somewhat knew).
Barkk: That's what happens when someone makes a wish! The universe is destroyed, and then entirely rebuilt! But who knows how? (The light from outside flashes more intensely, along with another loud bang.)
Luka: Sass, hurry!
Sass: Second Chance! (reverts time)
Scene: On top of the Eiffel Tower. Time is reverted back to when Ladybug starts the countdown while waiting for Cat Noir.
"So, now Sass has just reverted back to the moment right before Cat Noir reveals himself as Adrien," Angel pointed out in which the audience nodded in understanding, but their eyes were still wide in shock.
"What disastrous consequences exactly come when you use your power on your own, Sass?" Luka asked his kwami nervously as well as everyone else.
"You'll see in a moment," Angel said on Sass's behalf, pointing to the screen.
Ladybug: The countdown has begun. It's 1 am, and we've got just five minutes before you transform back. So we've got to be done by 1:05. You'll rewind on my signal.
Cat Noir: (upon landing on top of the Eiffel Tower) I'm sorry, but I really couldn't make it— (The lights are flashing alternately, while the malfunctioning cars are making a lot of noise.)
Ladybug: What on earth is happening? (Multiple time anomalies are showing up.) It's like history's all jumbled up! (Jeanne d'Arc appears behind them.)
Jeanne d'Arc: Hark, what are those voices I hear? Bertrand? Gilles? My, what sorcery is this? (She groans. Jeanne d'Arc tries to tackle them, but disappears in time.)
Cat Noir: Time has gone crazy! Or maybe I have…
"If you think this is crazy, I'd hate to see what your idea of insanity is," Alya said to Adrien as they and the others looked on in shock at the consequences of Sass's power on-screen.
Ladybug: I have a bad feeling about this. Viperion! Viperion, can you hear me? Follow me!
Scene: In the sewers. Viperion is having trouble communicating with Ladybug.
Viperion: Ladybug, can you hear me?
Ladybug: Viperion! I've gotta talk to Sass!
Viperion: Scales rest! (de-transforms into Luka)
Sass: I'm so sorry, Ladybug, I had no choice!
Ladybug: What happened?
Sass: I'm not really sure. I just saw a photo of a Lucky Charm, a watch showing 1 am.
Cat Noir: Do you understand any of this?
Ladybug: When kwamis use their power without a holder, it always has magical and disastrous consequences. And Sass's power is to turn back time!
Cat Noir: So time has gotten all mixed up!
Ladybug: Stay here, Luka!
Scene: The Parisian streets. Multiple time anomalies appear everywhere.
Captain Hardrock: Liberty! Next stop, city hall! (Near the Eiffel Tower, Gamer appears. On the Montparnasse Tower, Gorizilla appears to be surrounded by helicopters.)
Ladybug: Woah, I'm getting major déjà vu right now!
Cat Noir: It's time to have a genius idea, m'lady!
Ladybug: Lucky Charm! (Ladybug uses her power to summon a Lucky Charm, and a scale weight appears.)
Cat Noir: Do you think this will be enough to tip the balance of time?
Ladybug: Oh, the International Bureau of Weights and Measures! This organization coordinates the hours of the whole world with its satellite! It's right near Paris!
Cat Noir: Which means the satellite is just above our heads! We fix it, we fix all the connected devices that depend on time to function! How are we going to know the exact time to program into the satellite?
Ladybug: Thanks to this countdown, I still have a way to know what time it is for real. When it gets to the end, that'll mean that it's exactly 1:05 am. That's what we'll program into the satellite. Time to suit up!
Cat Noir: Mmm. But, what's the plan with all the apparitions?
Ladybug: Leave them to my magical ladybugs. (Cat Noir eats his power-up Camembert cheese.)
[Transformation Sequence]
Cat Noir: Power up! (Cat Noir transforms into Astro Cat)
Ladybug: Let's sync up our stopwatches. (Ladybug and Astro Cat sync up their stopwatches.)
Astro Cat: Now I have exactly the same countdown as you. (Ladybug eats her power-up macaron)
[Transformation Sequence]
Ladybug: Power up! (Ladybug transforms into Cosmobug)
Cosmobug: Ready, Astro Cat?
Astro Cat: Ready, Cosmobug!
Cosmobug: Okay, take off! (Cosmobug and Astro Cat fly up to outer space.)
Scene: Outer space. Cosmobug and Astro Cat fix the satellite which restores the balance in time.
Cosmobug: Miraculous Ladybug! (Cosmobug uses her power, and everything returns back to normal.)
Cosmobug and Astro Cat: Pound it!
"Pound it!" The two heroes fist-bumped then kissed in victory.
Astro Cat: Meow, meow, meow... Meow-meow!
Cosmobug: That's a pretty tune. What is it?
Astro Cat: A classical piece. Thus spoke Catathustra. By the way, what did you wanna talk about earlier, up on the Eiffel Tower?
Cosmobug: Oh, nothing important. Forget about it.
Astro Cat: Hmm. Atta blast!
Scene: Dupain-Cheng residence, on the balcony. Su-Han is waiting.
Cosmobug: Spots off! (She de-transforms into Ladybug.)
Su-Han: So, do you know who Cat Noir is yet?
Ladybug: No.
Su-Han: What? I thought I had warned you—
Ladybug: I don't want to know. I've proven to you a hundred times that I'm a good guardian, and Cat Noir and I have proven to you a hundred times that we were exceptional superheroes, and you! How many times have you told us that we were messing up, when that was totally untrue? You're judging us based on your own fears, and not on our actions!
Su-Han: (groans) You're right, little Ladybug. Perhaps I'm worrying over nothing. What's for sure is that one doesn't come across a guardian like you every century. (reaches out his fist) How do you say again?
"I'm impressed, Marinette. Grandmaster Su-Han is usually too stubborn to admit when he's been proven wrong," Master Fu said to the blue-haired girl.
Ladybug and Su-Han: Pound it.
"Well, that was interesting, wasn't it?" Angel asked her audience who nodded slowly in agreement.
"No kidding! I mean, the world ending and being reborn if a wish is being made with the two Miraculouses?!" Alya pointed out. "I gotta save this info for an article someday!" After saying that, everyone else chuckled towards the aspiring journalist.
"OK, the next episode is called Kuro Neko," Angel announced.
"That's Japanese for "black cat"," Kagami pointed out as she looked at Adrien with worry along with everyone else.
"You're right, Kagami. But don't worry. Cat Noir doesn't get akumatized or anything. Kuro Neko is actually a sentimonster created by a little girl who lost her black cat," Angel explained in which the audience nodded in understanding. "But the sentimonster is the least of the problems presented in this episode."
"What do you mean?" Marinette asked, starting to become nervous again along with the rest of the audience.
"This episode will mostly focus on a huge conflict between you two as Ladybug and Cat Noir," Angel said as she pointed to the two heroes as they looked at each other with concern. "You'll see. Here's the episode!"
