Scene: Interior, the Agreste mansion, in Adrien's room. Adrien is seen writing on his application form on his table, flipping his pen with a frown.
Plagg: You look even more lost than pasteurized cheese in the French cheese section! How hard is it to fill out an orientation form? All you have to do is write down your request for next year's school and your career goals.
Adrien: I can't write down the truth, Plagg. If Marinette finds out that my father's decided to send me to a private school in London next year, it will break her heart and mine, too. (He places his head down on his table and frowns. Plagg slouches and frowns as well.) What? No cheesy joke to comfort me?
Plagg: I know how I would feel if I had to be separated from you, Adrien, and there is nothing funny about that at all. (sighs)
"Awwww!" The entire audience moaned on the cute moment between Adrien and Plagg on-screen, in which the blond boy and the kwami cuddled each other in response.
Scene: Interior, Collège Françoise Dupont, in the library. Marinette piles up every submitted application form and puts it on a table. Max and Kim are seen walking out of the library.
Kim: (to Max, while walking out the library) I can't wait for the results of the teacher rep meeting. (The door closes.)
Marinette: I hope everything goes well.
Tikki: Marinette, I don't get it. What happens during a teacher-rep meeting that's so worrisome?
Marinette: This meeting is where our futures are being decided, Tikki. The teachers need to review our school performances and decide whether or not we'll be able to pursue the studies we've chosen.
Tikki: If I were your teacher, I'd decide that you're the best!
Marinette: (smiles) Thank you, Tikki! (The door opens behind them as Adrien walks beside Marinette. But before he places his form on top of the pile of forms, he notices Marinette frowning.)
Adrien: Is something wrong, Marinette?
Marinette: I'm having a really strange feeling about something. Up until now, Alya and I were the class reps. When our classmates gave us their career forms, they are also entrusting us with their hopes and dreams. (Flashback: Each of Marinette's classmates tell her what their dream careers and dream schools would be in the future, starting with Alya.)
Alya: (in flashback at her home) Well, you know I want to be a reporter, so I'll need to specialize in literature in high school!
Nino: (in flashback at the school's courtyard) Movie director!
Mylène: (in flashback along with Ivan at the Liberty) Just write "Defender of the Earth"!
Ivan: (in flashback along with Mylene at the Liberty) I'll be a stay-at-home dad! While Mylène saves the world. I'll be taking care of the kids.
Rose: (in flashback at the school's art room) Hairstylist for unicorns!
Marinette: (in flashback at the school's art room off-screen) There's no such thing, Rose.
Rose: (in flashback at the school's art room) Oh, okay... (strikes a pose) hairstylist for dragons!
"Not really heading in the right direction, Rose. There's no such thing as dragons either," Alya reluctantly pointed out to Rose who nodded somewhat embarrassingly in agreement.
Juleka: (in flashback in her room at the Liberty. She mumbles) I want to be a mortician…
Marinette: (in flashback in Juleka's room) Awesome! (takes her folder) That is so you! (Flashback continues as she says to Sabrina in the school's cafeteria off-screen) A nurse?
Sabrina: (in flashback at the school's cafeteria while holding a piece of sushi with her chopsticks) Well, yes! I love taking care of other people.
Chloé: (in flashback at the school's cafeteria as she snaps her fingers) Sushi! (Sabrina feeds Chloé a piece of sushi. Marinette frowns at this sight. End of flashback.)
"Exhibit A, I guess!" Angel jokingly pointed out Sabrina's desire to take care of other people on-screen with everyone else (including Sabrina herself) chuckling in agreement.
Adrien: Except that now, Chloé and Lila are the new class reps.
"That pretty much explains the strange feeling that I'm having. They'd probably do something with our career forms," Marinette noted, guessing what's gonna happen as everyone else hummed in agreement after some thought.
Marinette: Yes, and they'll be the ones presenting our friends' forms to the teachers during the teacher-rep meeting. And they're just so… (Flashback: Marinette asks Chloé about her plans in the future in the school's courtyard.) What about you, Chloé? What do you want to do in life?
Chloé: (in flashback at the school's courtyard) Nothing! I don't need to do anything since I'm already rich! (scatters all the content of her folder on the floor. Marinette asks Lila as well in the locker room.)
"You know, Chloe. It's not like that one day, your parents realized they're rich and they just stopped working. They're still working to stay rich for a very long time. And once you graduate from school, you might need to pull your weight into it if you wanna keep the family fortune going for as long as you live," Angel wisely pointed out to the blonde girl who, after some thought, reluctantly nodded in agreement.
Marinette: (in flashback as she reads Lila's application aloud in the school's locker room) To the question "What do you want to do in life?", you answered, "I want to resolve every political conflict on the planet in order to establish world peace and solve the environmental crisis. Also, free candy for everyone." Are you serious?
"That girl really is laying heavy on that saintly Mother Teresa act, is she?" Marc asked while also groaning in annoyance towards Lila on-screen. Everyone else murmured in agreement as they also groaned in annoyance as well.
Lila: (in flashback in the school's locker room) I could've added "I want to become your best friend", but we both know that would've been a lie. Just like the rest. (walks away. End of flashback.)
Marinette: I feel like I'm betraying our friends by entrusting their forms to such awful girls.
"Well, that's not your fault, m'lady. Is it?!" Adrien said to his girlfriend in comfort then asked towards his classmates with a frown, in which they guiltily murmured in agreement.
Adrien: If Chloé and Lila try to do something bad, we'll find a way to stop them. I trust us. (hugs Marinette) I trust you. (Marinette hugs him back, smiling.)
Marinette: Your file is the only one still missing.
Adrien: I'm... still not sure what I want to do yet.
Marinette: That's fine. (grabs the pile of paper and starts walking out the library with Adrien) You still have a little time before the teacher-rep meeting.
Scene: Interior, Collège Françoise Dupont, in Ms. Bustier's classroom. Marinette, Lila and Chloé stand before each other in front of the class.
Ms. Bustier: Thank you for everything that you've done so far, Marinette.
Marinette: You're welcome, Ms. Bustier. (gives a suspicious glare at Lila and Chloé) I... hope the meeting goes smoothly.
Ms. Bustier: And now, let's give our support to your new class representatives: (Marinette hands over the orientation sheets to Lila and Chloé) Lila and Chloé.
Lila: Chloé and I vowed to respectfully represent you during the teacher-rep meeting. (The whole class applauds as Lila grabs the orientation sheets from Marinette as the three of them shoot daggers at one another.)
"You're right about your bad feeling, m'lady. I sure don't like the looks on those faces," Adrien said as he cringed towards Lila and Chloe's evil smirks on-screen with everyone else nodding in agreement, also cringing their faces.
Scene: Interior, Le Grand Paris, in Chloé's room. Sabrina sits at her table inside Chloé's closet and shreds every orientation sheet that the class submitted, ordered by none other than Chloé and Lila.
Lila: Good! After you destroy the forms, you'll fill out new ones using your talent for forging student's handwriting. I'll tell you what to write.
Chloé: Oh, wait— Not so fast! You're using too many words to explain your plan!
Lila: We're going to make fake forms. And then, we'll defend those at the teacher rep meeting. Every student will then be signed up for a study course that doesn't fit them at all.
Chloé: But... they'll be furious when they realize.
"NO! REALLY?!" The teens sarcastically remarked as they glared daggers at Chloe for her and Lila's plan on-screen as the blonde girl looked down in shame and embarrassment, now knowing that her alternate future self is taking things too far this time.
Lila: Exactly. And we'll pin it all on Marinette!
Everyone in the audience growled towards Lila on-screen on behalf of Marinette (with Adrien's being the loudest of them all).
Chloé: Oh! Like Daddy does at City Hall! He always says, (impersonates Mayor Bourgeois) "In case of a problem, always blame it on your predecessor!"
Lila: For it to work, Sabrina would just have to say at the right time that Marinette forced her to forge the fake forms, and everyone's life will be wonderfully ruined! (Chloé smiles in amazement at Lila's conspiracy.)
Chloé: Villainous! Utterly villainous! (Lila grins menacingly. Sabrina suddenly blows her whistle interrupting Lila and Chloé.)
Sabrina: (anxiously) I don't think I can do it! (blows her whistle again) Helping Chloé doesn't hurt anyone, but this... (blows her whistle) forging documents and lying... (blows her whistle) It's different! (blows her whistle and pants) It's going to hurt people!
Chloé: (grabs Sabrina's whistle) You want to see toot-toot whistle ever again?
Lila: (places more piles of the orientation sheets on Sabrina's desk) Then get to work! (closes the closet door as Sabrina frowns)
"Now I really feel like a slave," Sabrina groaned as she looked down in sadness and embarrassment for what she's being forced to do on-screen.
"NOW?!" All the teens in the audience (except for Chloe) asked Sabrina in exasperation while also feeling sorry for what she's going through on-screen.
Scene: Interior, Collège Françoise Dupont, in the boiler room. The Resistance are gathered together.
Nino: On the agenda today, comrades, is a problem. (Outside the boiler room, Mr. Damocles eavesdrops on them. Nino continues off-screen, muffled) We swore to help Ladybug and Cat Noir in their fight.
Mr. Damocles: Huh? Intruders?
Nino: But if they haven't defeated Monarch by the start of the next school year, how will we help when we're no longer here at Francoise Dupont together? (Mr. Damocles sneaks inside the boiler room to check the commotion.) I propose the following solution: let's all go to the same Jacques de Trémeuse high school! Then, our fight against evil can continue!
Mr. Damocles: (to himself) Oh, sweet kids! (While Nino lays down his plan, Marinette notices Mr. Damocles sneaking away out the boiler room and smiles fondly.)
Nino: And that'll settle Comrade Mayo's problem of not knowing where to go. (As Marinette hears her phone ring, she discreetly walks out of the meeting.) Wouldn't it, dude? (Adrien smiles after Nino gives him a friendly nudge.)
Nathaniel: The design courses I want to take are available at the Performing Arts High School, so I won't be able to attend Jacques de Trémeuse. (The whole gang sighs in dismay.)
Scene: Interior, Collège Françoise Dupont, outside the boiler room. Marinette takes the call.
Marinette: H-Hello? (Just a floor above, Ms. Mendeleiev and Mr. Damocles are spying on the students.)
"Who's calling me?" Marinette asked curiously as well as everyone else.
"You'll all see eventually," Angel said, which made the audience turn their attention back to the screen.
Ms. Mendeleiev: See? Marinette just came out of the boiler room! And I saw the others go in earlier! Unacceptable!
Mr. Damocles: Uh... I asked them to go, actually, to make sure the cockroaches are gone. I hate cockroaches!
Mrs. Mendeleiev: Oh? (fixes her glasses) Well, if I were the principal, things would be different here! (goes down the stairs)
Scene: Interior, Collège Françoise Dupont, in the boiler room. Marinette returns to the Resistance meeting, looking to be seemingly bummed out while holding her phone.
Alya: You okay, Marinette?
Marinette: Uh— Yes. (slips her phone inside her pocket) Yeah…
Mylène: It's really unfair that we're forced to decide what we want to do so early on in life!
"TRUE THAT!" The teens in the audience roared in agreement towards what Mylene said in their discussion about schools and careers on-screen.
Nino: That is so true! We should get to try a bunch of subjects before we decide on a career and get to stay with our buds and help each other at the same school.
Ivan: Our future is at stake here. We have to do something!
Mylène: I declare a form-filling strike. No student files, no career forms! (The Resistance approves and cheers altogether. Juleka mumbles something right after.)
Rose: Juleka's right. Except for Adrien, we've all already handed in our career forms. (The Resistance collectively sighs in dismay once again.)
Scene: Exterior, Collège Françoise Dupont, at the school's entrance. Marinette seems to be waiting for something, or someone. Her face immediately brightens up upon seeing Adrien stepping out of the car in front of the school. Adrien then walks up to Marinette.
Marinette: Did you manage to figure out what you want to do?
Adrien: I think so. (He smiles. The two of them proceed inside the school grounds.)
"Really? Even when my father's forcing me to go to London next year?" Adrien asked curiously as well as everyone else.
"You haven't exactly really figured out what you wanna do yet. In your file, you just wrote a note about your exact feelings on the matter," Angel said, which made the audience cringe in confusion.
Scene: Interior, Collége Françoise Dupont, in the locker room. Adrien gives his orientation form to Lila.
Lila: I will defend your form as if my life depended on it. Thank you for entrusting me. (Adrien scowls at her and walks away. Lila grins at Chloé as they go on their plan, too, with Sabrina following them from behind. As the three of them proceed to the girl's restroom, the door is unfortunately taped with a sign of a toilet crying.)
Chloé: Ugh! When will they ever repair them? Lousy school! (They enter inside of a somewhat portable toilet by the courtyard. Once inside, they read through Adrien's orientation form. Surprised, they notice a folded sheet of paper inside the folder as Lila reads it.)
"What's wrong with our bathroom?" Alya asked curiously as well as everyone else about the girls' bathroom on-screen.
"Nothing," Angel vaguely answered, which made her audience frown at her in frustrated confusion. "You'll see. Anyway, there's the temporary girls' bathroom just built," Angel added as she pointed to the temporary girls' bathroom on-screen.
Lila: "I've been thinking a lot, and still don't know what I would like to do later in life. The only thing I know for sure is that I love Marinette Dupain-Cheng. But I guess that doesn't really help you. I'm sorry. Adrien Agreste."
"Don't worry, Adrien. All of us here will definitely help you figure out what you wanna do later in life," Miss Bustier said to her student in which everyone else enthusiastically murmured in agreement much to Adrien's beaming happiness.
"And if not, you can always settle for being a stay-at-home dad like me," Ivan then said to Adrien who nodded indicating "noted".
Chloé: Ugh, it's pathetic! (takes the sheet of paper from Lila...) Utterly pathetic! (...and throws it in the toilet)
Lila: Whatever you've already written down on Adrien's fake form, write it again... but worse! (hands over Sabrina another folder with fake forms for her to work on)
Scene: Interior, Collége Françoise Dupont, in the library. Lila and Chloé are in the teacher-rep meeting and review every single orientation form, in which they forged.
Lila: (grabs a folder) Alya Césaire: optician.
"WHAT?! WHY?! JUST BECAUSE I WEAR GLASSES?!" Alya asked in anger and exasperation for the career Lila and Chloe chose for her on-screen. Both Marinette and Nino managed to convince her to take a deep breath, calming her down.
Ms. Bustier: (gapes in confusion) Are you sure there isn't a mistake? I thought for sure that Alya wanted to be a reporter.
Lila: That's what's written on the form Marinette gave us. It's true that it is strange but, come to think of it, a reporter helps people to better understand the world — to clarify the things that seem buzzy. Kind of the way an optician makes glasses.
"OK, that's complete garbage!" Alya once again shouted in anger towards Lila on-screen, in which she once again took a deep breath to calm herself down.
Mr. Damocles: Oh, that's true! And Alya Césaire actually wears glasses!
Ms. Mendeleiev: Her grades allow it. I see no reason for us to oppose it.
Mr. Damocles: Who are we to judge? Our duty is to support our students as best we can. Please enter the following in the career studies system, Mrs. Mendeleiev: Alya Césaire, optician. (Ms. Mendeleiev types in as ordered. Lila grabs another folder and reads it.)
"And this is why you Juleka ended up getting re-akumatized," Angel said as she pointed to the screen which got everyone else's full attention (especially Juleka).
Lila: Juleka Couffaine wants to repeat the year. (The teachers gasp collectively.)
"WHAT?!" Everyone in the audience roared in anger towards Lila on-screen on behalf of Juleka (especially Rose and Luka).
Mr. Damocles: That's unusual.
Ms. Bustier: But she's already repeated a year! And her grades have gone better!
Lila: Yes, but perhaps until she's resolved her speech impediment, she'd rather stay on familiar ground. With your help, Ms. Bustier, of course. Sometimes, one step back is one step forward.
"Please don't let her get to you, Juleka!" Rose said as she noticed Juleka looking down in shame and embarrassment about her speech impediment being mentioned on-screen.
"Yeah, Jules! Mr. Agreste was right about her for one thing: she's nothing! And we'll get rid of her soon!" Luka said to his sister with everyone else enthusiastically murmuring in agreement which made the teen girl beam up a little.
Ms. Mendeleiev: Her grades allow it. I see no reason for us to oppose it.
Mr. Damocles: (sighs deeply) Ms. Mendeleiev, please enter Juleka Couffaine, repeating the grade. (Ms. Bustier lets out a suspicious frown.)
Scene: Interior, Collége Françoise Dupont, in Ms. Bustier's classroom. The class is outraged at the results of the teacher-rep meeting.
Alya: (furious) Optician?! That's not what I want to be at all!
Kim: Phy-si-o-therapist?
Max: Swimming instructor? But I can't even swim!
Kim: You sure you didn't get mine by mistake?
Rose: Minister of the Interior? Interior of what? (Juleka seems to be bothered by her results. Rose says to Juleka) Are you alright? Jul...? (looks at her paper and gasps) "Repeating the year"? That's completely bogus! (A commotion ensues in the classroom.)
Ivan: Juleka has to repeat a grade?
Alya: Repeating? No way! (The class continues their clamor about Juleka repeating another year, but Juleka seems to be very done with it. Until...)
"WE WILL DESTROY THAT GIRL!" Alix shouted about Lila in which the teens roared in agreement. The adults just stayed silent as they agreed that something absolutely has to be done about Lila, but nothing extreme as the teens implied.
Scene: Monarch's lair. The lair window opens.
Monarch: Ahh, teacher-rep meetings... Endless sources of anguish and crushed hopes! There's too many to choose from! (corrupts a butterfly and turns it into a megakuma) Kaalki, your power is now mine! (absorbs Kaalki's power of Migration) Voyage, my megakuma! A feast of broken dreams awaits you!
Scene: Interior, Collége Françoise Dupont, in Ms. Bustier's classroom. The megakuma teleports in the room. Rose gives Juleka's magical charm and places it in her hand.
Rose: Jul, you have to resist; otherwise, you might get akumatized! Remember what Ladybug said when she gave you this magical charm? We'll find a solution!
Juleka: (mumbling) It can't be fair... It's not fair! (The megakuma enters her result sheet. Rose gasps and steps back, seeing that Juleka is now possessed by the megakuma.)
Monarch: (from his lair) Reflekta, I am Monarch. Once again, they're refusing to hear your voice. But thanks to the power I'm about to give you, everyone will finally understand you — so perfectly that they will think exactly like you! Roaar, your power is now mine! (absorbs her power) Transfer! (transmits the power of Elation to Juleka's Alliance) I am also entrusting you with the power of the Tiger! With it, a single punch will silence those who dare to resist you!
(And with that, Juleka succumbs to the megakuma and begins to transform. In the midst of transforming, the whole class altogether encouraged her to resist the akumatization, but her negative emotions weighed more and the megakuma successfully got hold of her, transforming her into Reflekta in front of the class once again. The whole class ran away after her transformation.)
"Reflekta with the Tiger's power of Clout," Angel pointed out as Juleka and Roaar looked at each other with worry about the latter's power being used for evil once again.
Reflekta: Staying together no matter what? What a great idea, my dear Nino! (throws a piece of her fan at Nino, transforming him into one of her own lookalikes)
Reflekta and Reflekta Nino: If we're all identical, who can keep us from being together all the time? Together forever! (The two of them throw fan blades at Mylène and Ivan, then at Rose, who tries to run away.)
Reflektas: Together forever! (The Reflektas jump away. Ms. Bustier is seen hiding underneath the table, cowering in fear. Marinette proceeds to run inside the temporary portable restroom to transform.)
"I suspect something's wrong and yet, I say nothing," Miss Bustier said as she looked down in shame at what happened to her students on-screen.
Marinette: Tikki, spots on! (transforms into Ladybug. In the art classroom, Adrien runs to hide and transform as well.)
Adrien: Plagg, claws out! (transforms into Cat Noir. By the school grounds, Reflekta begins to cause havoc.)
Reflekta: Clout! (Activating her power, the school walls break one by one. After breaking, the Reflektas spread out and continue to make everyone one of their own.)
Reflektas: Together forever! (Ladybug and Cat Noir arrive at the scene, landing on a rooftop nearby where they can see all the chaos happening. Each Parisian gets thrown by a fan blade and transforms into a clone of Reflekta...) Together forever! (...as well as Nathaniel and Alya who are on the street.) Together forever!
Ladybug: We better find a solution before the whole city is crawling with Reflektas!
Cat Noir: Reflektas with the Tiger's punch as a bonus — it's not going to be easy!
Ladybug: In that case… Lucky Charm! (receives a tape dispenser) So, they multiply... Well then, let's divide them!
"TAPE AGAIN?!" Marinette asked in frustration towards the Lucky Charm given on-screen with everyone else expressing similar sentiments.
Cat Noir: Really hope you can get us out of this sticky situation, m'Lldy! (The two heroes jump into action with their plan, with Cat Noir holding himself in a narrow alley. He breaks his staff into two and sticks it on the wall and drapes a fake cloth with a brick design, creating a diversion. After Ladybug tapes it on the ground to keep the cloth in place, she jumps off with Cat Noir.)
Scene: Interior, Tom and Sabine Boulangerie Patisserie. Reflekta enters the bakery and is about to throw fan blades at Tom and Sabine, only to be stopped by Cat Noir who is now by the bakery entrance, leaning on his baton.
Cat Noir: You can't touch these bakers! I love their croissants too much. (He vaults away as soon as Reflekta chases after him. Meanwhile at a florist, another Reflekta is about to make another clone.)
Reflekta: Together forever! (Ladybug hits Reflekta with her yo-yo.)
Ladybug: Maybe you should ask what he thinks first before suggesting a career change? (Ladybug jumps away to a building as Reflekta goes after her, leading them to the trap that she and Cat Noir set up, and the same goes for Cat Noir's wild goose chase.)
Ladybug and Cat Noir: (pretends to be stuck) Oh, no!
Reflektas: Clout! (As the Reflektas get close to the fake brick wall, Ladybug and Cat Noir leap away to let the Reflektas taste their own medicine. Their powers collide, creating a massive explosion in the middle of the city. Ladybug then breaks Reflekta's fan and sends the megakuma flying out of it.)
Ladybug: No more evil-doing for you, megakuma! (swipes open her yo-yo) Time to de-evilize! (captures the megakuma) Gotcha! (opens her yo-yo and sends off the purified butterfly) Bye-bye, little butterfly! Miraculous Ladybug! (She tosses the tape dispenser in the air and fixes every damage caused by the villain, that is, un-cloning every Reflekta clone back to who they are. In the alley, Reflekta de-transforms into Juleka. Ladybug gives her another magical charm.) Juleka, this magical charm will help you remember to never give up hope. We will always be there for you.
Ladybug and Cat Noir: Pound it!
"Pound it!" The hero couple once again fist-bumped and kissed in victory.
Scene: Monarch's lair.
Monarch: Patience. I can still sense despair and anger.
Scene: Interior, Collége Françoise Dupont, in Ms. Bustier's classroom. The whole class is gathered around Juleka with Ms. Bustier. Juleka begins to sob.
Rose: (starts to comfort Juleka) No, no, it's okay! Everyone's fine!
Alya: Lila, what happened during the teachers' rep meeting?
Lila: (pretends to have no knowledge about everything that's happened) I don't know. All I did was defend what was in the files Marinette had given us! (looks at Marinette with fake innocent eyes)
Alya: What's on your sheet, Marinette?
Marinette: I'm going to a high school where I can specialize in fashion just like I requested—
"And of course they didn't mess with my form, so that I will look suspicious," Marinette deadpanned both in annoyance and concern as everyone else also murmured in concern.
Chloé: A-ha! That totally proves she's the villain!
Lila: Oh, Marinette! You didn't need to (kicks Chloé on her leg) do this!
Alya: Do what?
Lila: Marinette is obviously mad at you for electing me to replace her as the class representative. But... you do realize that by creating those fake forms, you've destroyed their futures? You've risked losing all your friends?! Then, no one will ever trust you again. And then, everyone will call you... a liar?
"I have officially lost the very last shred of patience with this girl!" Marinette growled in anger towards Lila's scheme to frame her on-screen with everyone else sporting frowns in agreement.
Marinette: And how exactly would I have created those fake forms?
Lila: Well, by forging everyone's handwriting, for instance. (The whole class gasps and turns to Marinette.)
Marinette: But I don't know how to do that, unlike Sabrina. (Chloé pushes Sabrina to the center.)
Sabrina: Yes, I admit it. I forged the forms. (The whole class gasps again.)
Lila: Come on, be brave, Sabrina. This is for everyone's good. Who asked you to do something so terrible? (The whole class waits for an answer, with Lila and Chloé seemingly about to triumph at last, but...)
Everyone in the audience (especially Sabrina) panted heavily in nervousness to what's going to happen.
Sabrina: (turns to look at Lila and Chloé) YOU DID! Chloé and Lila forced me to do it!
Everyone in the audience (especially Sabrina) heavily sighed in relief that Sabrina ended up telling the truth on-screen, even though Chloe is somewhat nervous of what's going to happen to her.
Chloé: (gasps) You traitor! That was not the plan! (Lila steps on Chloé's foot to keep her quiet, which causes Chloé to wince in pain.)
"That loser is springing for a new pedicure!" Chloe said loudly in anger for Lila keeping stepping and kicking her foot on-screen as everyone else rolled their eyes in annoyance towards the blonde girl.
Lila: Oh, Sabrina... I'm sorry. I hadn't noticed that my becoming friends with Chloé was hurting you so much. You were so blinded by jealousy that Marinette, like a civilian Monarch, took advantage of it to manipulate you.
Sabrina: HUH? No, she didn't!
Lila: But we forgive you, you know?
Sabrina: You're so horrible! You're turning everything I say against me!
Lila: We've got nothing against you, Sabrina. We all understand that this is Marinette's fault. You don't have to lie anymore.
"Yeah, I'm the prime suspect while she's the one practically cornering Sabrina!" Marinette sarcastically remarked about Lila on-screen.
"She's really more terrifying than Chloe when she has her fits!" Sabrina remarked about Lila as everyone else murmured in agreement though Chloe had a mild frown about what her best friend said about her.
"Well, that's Lila. She's extremely dangerous psychologically," Angel reminded everyone else about Lila in which they nodded in understanding and agreement.
Sabrina: I don't care! I have proof! And my policeman dad will put you both in jail! (runs out the classroom, sobbing)
Lila: Poor thing. She's so fragile. She doesn't know what she's saying. Ms. Bustier, as class reps, shouldn't we go and talk to her? (Ms. Bustier nods hesitantly.)
Scene: Interior, Collége Françoise Dupont, courtyard. Chloé and Lila chase after Sabrina.
Chloé: Sabrina! Sabrina! Get back here right now! (Sabrina enters the temporary portable restroom.) Sabrina! Heel! (Chloé stomps down the stairs whilst Lila walks down calmly. Sabrina is seen sobbing inside the restroom as Chloé and Lila barge in.) Sabrina, you're being ridiculous! Utterly ridiculous! There's no proof that we forced you to cheat!
Sabrina: Yes, there is!
Chloé: (starts to shake her) Show me the proof or I'll have my dad fire yours!
Lila: (stops Chloé) Calm down!
Chloé: But this dingbat will get us caught!
Lila: You're the one who'll get us caught if you keep getting worked up like this. (to Sabrina) What's your so-called proof, Sabrina? A microphone, a video? It doesn't matter. I'll come up with a new lie and people will believe me. I had everyone believing that Marinette pushed me down the stairs. I had everyone believing that I was halfway around the world so I wouldn't have to go to school. And if I wanted to, I could even convince your own father to put you in jail! And that's what's going to happen if you don't hand over that proof!
Sabrina: (smiles confidently) Hah, there was no proof! Well, until now! (Sabrina brings out a button and presses it, revealing that the temporary restroom was a trap set for Lila and Chloé, showing everyone their true motives. The whole class is seen to be standing just right outside the temporary restroom.)
"BUSTED!" The teens in the audience shouted out as everyone in the audience cheered in victory towards Lila being exposed on-screen.
Marinette: You've just told everyone who you really are, Lila. (Now cornered, Lila begins to panic.) A few days ago, Sabrina warned me about what you were planning. (Flashback: Outside the boiler room, Marinette answers the call.) Hello?
Sabrina: (in flashback inside Chloé's closet) I can't! Not anymore! What should I do, Marinette?!
"As you can all see, the phone call Marinette got earlier: Sabrina tipping her off about Chloe and Lila's plan," Angel pointed out as everyone in the audience nodded in understanding.
Marinette: Exactly what they're asking you to. We're going to need proof and I have an idea to catch them! (Flashback continues as Marinette sticks the broken toilet sign outside the girls' restroom door.) It just took a little bit of... D.I.Y.! (Flashback continues as Construction workers starts to build the temporary restroom by the courtyard under Mr. Damocles' supervision. Now inside, Marinette removes the mirror and replaces it with a remote control one and puts a small hidden microphone underneath the sink. End of flashback. Sabrina walks beside Marinette and the two share a fist bump. The two of them turn to Mr. Damocles and Ms. Bustier together.) I'm sorry for the damage, but it's for everyone's good. I'll fix everything.
"FINALLY! IT HAPPENED!" Marinette cheered in victory that Lila is finally caught on-screen with everyone else chuckling at her in amusement while also impressed by her plan to expose Lila and Chloe's plan on-screen.
Ms. Bustier: We owe you an apology, Marinette. And most of all, me. (Marinette smiles.)
Mr. Damocles: Chloé Bourgeois and Lila Rossi, you are hereby expelled from school! (Chloé and Lila groan, whilst Chloé opens her Alliance and contacts her father, the Mayor.)
Mayor Bourgeois: (in the Alliance transmission) If you want to keep your job, Mr. Principal, then keep my daughter and her friend in your school!
"OF COURSE!" Everyone in the audience deadpanned in annoyance about Chloe using her father once again to get her out of trouble on-screen. Meanwhile, the blonde girl just looked down in shame and embarrassment.
Mr. Damocles: If those are your orders, Mr. Mayor. But, couldn't we at least review the students' files again?
Mayor Bourgeois: (in the Alliance transmission) Impossible! Everything's in the system already! (whispers) Reviewing them would mean acknowledging this whole forged form story, which would be terribly damaging to our institution's image!
Mr. Damocles: (disapproving) But that means these children will have a future that doesn't match their ambitions! They'll be unhappy! The school would have betrayed them!
Mayor Bourgeois: (in the Alliance transmission) What do you want me to say, my friend? C'est la vie! (Andre turns off the transmission with a frown. In his office, it is revealed that Audrey coached him to what he'd say.)
"Please don't tell me this is how Mayor Bourgeois really feels," Adrien said as he and everyone else remembered the soft side of the city's mayor.
"No, not really. He's being pressured into saying those things," Angel answered as everyone else nodded in understanding.
Audrey: Good job. Now you're not getting fired either. (walks out the office. Back at the school, in the principal's office, Mr. Damocles throws the orientation forms off his table and places his head down in frustration.)
"That woman should've become mayor if she really wanted to boss people like her husband around!" Alya said loudly about Audrey Bourgeois in anger. Everyone else murmured in agreement (even Chloe herself surprisingly).
Scene: Monarch's lair.
Monarch: Patience always pays off sooner or later! (sends off his megakuma)
"UH-OH!" Everyone in the audience said as Monarch sent off another megakuma on-screen.
Scene: Interior, Collège Françoise Dupont, in the principal's office. The megakuma flies out of a portal and flies towards Mr. Damocles. Marinette immediately notices the megakuma and makes a run for it.
Marinette: (gasps) Again? NO! (grabs a folder and fends off the megakuma)
Mr. Damocles: I destroyed my students' futures... I'm unworthy of my title!
Sabrina: It's not your fault, Mr. Damocles! (While Marinette fights off the megakuma, she notices something glowing in Sabrina's pocket and Mr. Damocles', to Marinette's surprise.)
"What's happening?! What's with that glow?!" Sabrina asked curiously as well as everyone else as soon as they saw her pocket glow as well as Mr. Damocles' on-screen.
"It's your magical charms. Apparently, they can do so much more against akumas," Angel answered and everyone else murmured in excitement to see what the magical charms can do.
Marinette: Don't give up!
Monarch: (from his lair) Come on, my megakuma, destroy that magical charm!
Marinette: Do what you think is right!
Alya: We trust you! (Mr. Damocles' magical charm in his pocket glows brighter.)
Chloé: Hah! He was always a coward, a complete coward! (The glow on Mr. Damocles' magical charm starts to fade.)
Ms. Bustier: Don't listen to her! We can still work things out! (Mr. Damocles' magical charm glows bright again.)
"As you can see, if you get more encouraged, the magical charms will be more powerful, but the power fades if you give in to negative emotions," Angel explained as everyone else continued murmuring in excitement.
Marinette: The magical charm reacts to emotions! Ms. Bustier, get those two out and get as many people in here as you can! Trust me! (Ms. Bustier nods and sends Chloé and Lila outside the office.)
Chloé: You're going to regret meddling in this!
Ms. Bustier: (to the rest of the class, except Chloé and Lila) All of you, quick! We need as many people as possible! (The whole class walked inside the office.)
Chloé: HEY! (growls and turns to Lila who is already walking out the school) Hey, what's-your-name! Get back here! What's the next part of the plan?! You can't leave me here alone like this! Get back here! Liloo! (Lila continues to walk out of the school, ignoring Chloé. Back in the office, Marinette continues to fight off the megakuma with a folder. The whole class continues to give Mr. Damocles words of encouragement to prevent him from getting akumatized.)
"Just when you thought that girl can't get any creepier," Luka noted about Lila as she walked out of the school on-screen as everyone else nodded in agreement, also creeped out by the lying girl.
"Where is she even going?!" Alya asked in which Angel just responded by pointing to the screen, indicating to watch further.
Cat Noir: (appearing from behind) What would The Owl say if he saw you like this?
Mr. Damocles: Cat Noir?! Oh, even superheroes are going to witness how incompetent I am! I'm worse than a supervillain! (sobs. Juleka walks towards Mr. Damocles, with her glowing magical charm in her hand.)
Juleka: You... You... You can do this, Mr. Damocles! (The whole class is stunned, especially Mr. Damocles.)
Everyone in the audience gasped in shock and delight that Juleka had gotten over her speech impediment on-screen.
"See, Juleka?! With the right encouragement, you can get over your speech impediment!" Angel said as everyone else cheered on the teen girl as she blushed at the praise.
Mr. Damocles: J-J-Juleka! Your speech impediment!
Juleka: Every student in this school and all the teachers are counting on their super principal!
"YEAH!" Everyone in the audience cheered on Juleka's encouraging words on-screen.
Monarch: (from his lair) The megakuma should break the magical charm! Why isn't it working?! (Mr. Damocles brings out his magical charm, glowing brighter than ever, as Juleka shows hers that is glowing bright as well.)
Mr. Damocles: Yes! I-I can do this, too! I can still make everything right! (His magical charm gives out the brightest glow as it turns into a shield. The megakuma flies towards him...)
Marinette: NO! (...but the shield deflects the megakuma successfully, and purifies it too.)
Monarch: NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! (Mr. Damocles' shield reverts to his magical charm. The whole class celebrates and gives Mr. Damocles a group hug.)
"As you can see, if your positive feelings become stronger which would be helped by the motivation of those around you, the magical charms can turn into giant shields and magically purify akumas," Angel explained about the magical charms' extended power as everyone else cooed and then cheered in excitement.
Cat Noir: Well done! (jumps out the window)
Scene: Monarch's lair. Monarch de-transforms into Gabriel.
Gabriel: (throws his glove and reveals his Cataclysmed hand) It can't be true! Defeated by a bunch of kids! With or without your magical charms, I'm not done with you yet!
Scene: Interior, City Hall, the Mayor's office. Andre is having another conference with Mr. Damocles.
Andre: That's stupid if you do that! I'll be fired— I mean, I'll fire you, and Chloé and Lila will be reinstated anyway!
Mr. Damocles: (in his office) I don't care! For too long, I've been sacrificing my principles for interests that go against the common good. Find someone else to do your dirty work! (hangs up as the class cheers for him) What are you all still doing here? Don't you have new school forms to fill out? (The whole class looked at each other, confused.) If I'm to lose my job, then I might as well send you to the schools you actually want. (The whole class cheers again now that they've finally been given a second chance to be sent to their chosen schools. They proceeded to go outside once they received their newly changed orientation forms. Once out, Ms. Bustier closes the office door. Back in the office, a melancholic Mr. Damocles puts away his things. Stepping outside, the whole class awaits and applauds him to honor him for standing up for his students. The class bids him goodbye as Mr. Damocles leaves the school.)
"So, I'm fired from my job?" Mr. Damocles asked curiously and sadly as well as everyone else.
"Yes, but the important thing is that you kept your principles and stood up for your students in the interest of the common good. That's what being a true hero is all about," Angel said to the school principal in which everybody else cheered and applauded enthusiastically in agreement, which brought a tear from the old man's eye.
Scene: On the rooftops. Cat Noir narrates everything that happened at school to Ladybug.
Cat Noir: And then finally, the principal left. And that's the whole story.
Ladybug: (gasps) So that was the true power of the magical charm!
Cat Noir: Awesome, right? If things continue this way, people won't need us anymore to be de-akumatized. (Ladybug shakes her head and smiles.)
"That'll definitely give us more of a break," Adrien jokingly said to his girlfriend who laughed in agreement along with everyone else.
Epilogue: Interior, Collège Françoise Dupont, in Ms. Bustier's classroom. Ms. Bustier seemed to be writing something on a piece of paper on her desk until a knock on the door was heard.
Ms. Bustier: Come in. (Chloé enters the room. She scowls) Where's Lila?
Chloé: How should I know? I'm not the betrayer's mother. (Ms. Bustier is taken aback.)
"Again, where is Lila?!" Alya asked, extremely curious and fascinated to know more about the lying girl as well as everyone else.
"You'll see shortly. You all will find out another disturbing truth about "Lila"," Angel said as she put air quotes around "Lila" as everyone else gave their full attention back to the screen.
Ms. Bustier: (gasps) I really thought you were good at heart, Chloé. That there was a possibility that you could change if people reached out to you. I was wrong. Now, whether you like it or not, you are going to have to face the consequences of your actions.
Chloé: And what are you going to do to me, huh? You can't even expel me!
Ms. Bustier: You're right. But from now on, you'll be getting some very special attention from me. (Chloé glares at Ms. Bustier and growls. She storms out of the classroom right after.)
Chloé: "Special attention"– Ridiculous! Utterly— (gets a call from her Alliance ring) Who is this? (answers the call. On the streets, Lila, about to take on a new identity, takes off what is revealed to be her wig and throws it in the trash.)
"LILA WAS WEARING A WIG THIS ENTIRE TIME?!" Marinette asked very loudly as she and everyone else gasped in shock that Lila's hair turned out to be a wig on-screen.
"Yep. And fake lenses for her eyes too. They're not really green," Angel also pointed out about Lila's real eyes in which everyone else gasped in shock once again.
Lila: The war is only just starting. Be ready.
Student 1: Oh, Cerise! Is your movie shoot over?
"CERISE?! MOVIE SHOOT?!" Everyone else asked each other loudly as they looked at each other in confusion, then turned to look at Angel.
"Yeah, in spite of what she said under my truth spell when she was here, Lila Rossi is not her real name. Cerise the movie star is the identity she's going with now. I'm not sure if that is her real name or not though," Angel explained about "Lila's" real identity much to their jaw-dropping shock.
Student 2: We didn't think we'd see you again before the end of the school year! (It appears that Lila did take on a brand new identity that goes by the name "Cerise", who is now sporting short hair and brown contacts instead of her green chartreuse eyes.)
Cerise: Yes! I moved heaven and earth so I can be back just in time for the teachers' rep meeting. It would've been such a shame if your favorite delegate were missing!
"So…, what do you think?" Angel asked, breaking the long silence as everyone else sat still with their eyes widened and their jaws dropped in shock upon the revelation on-screen.
"Well, this is certainly…disturbing to find out about one of my students," Miss Bustier stammered, still frozen in shock.
"DISTURBING?! THIS IS NUTS! INSANE! MENTAL! Shall I go on?!" Alya said very loudly in which everyone else began murmuring loudly in agreement. "I mean, what kind of person just puts on a disguise, makes up a fake name, and just waltzes into our school and into our lives?!"
"This is like one of those scary movies where there's a new person in town like Lila and she acts all charming and friendly that everyone else loves and trusts her immediately. But as it turns out, there's something dark and disturbing about her and if anyone becomes suspicious, she seriously hurts or kills them. And there's at least one person who's suspicious of her from the start like Marinette, but the others don't believe her like we did and she has to end up battling Lila in the end," Alix pointed out in which the audience members who are scary-movie fans hummed in agreement.
"Why would she enroll in our school when she already has one in the city?" Mylene asked about Cerise/Lila
"I bet she enrolled in our school because she knows that I, Adrien Agreste the rich famous teen heartthrob, goes there and tries to pick me up," Adrien guiltily said as he felt somewhat responsible for Cerise/Lila enrolling at their school and entering herself into their lives.
"That's gold-digger to the extreme. Which is not your fault, so don't blame yourself, kitty cat," Marinette said to her boyfriend in order to comfort him with everyone else softly murmuring in agreement.
"What other school does this Cerise go to?" Mr. Damocles asked curiously as well as everyone else.
"According to my sources, Paul Bert," Angel answered to her audience.
"I'm in contact with the principal there. Maybe he can give us insight into this Cerise girl," Mr. Damocles said as he and everyone else nodded in understanding.
"Well, you all can do your investigation on her when you get back. Anyway, the next episode is called Action which refers to the Bee Miraculous," Angel announced to her audience. "This episode is an environmental special, so I'll know you'll love this, Mylene," Angel added which made Mylene beam in excitement.
"What makes this environment special?" Adrien asked curiously as well as everybody else.
"It focuses on an environmental issue which is the increase in plastic pollution thanks to more usage from plastic products, so you all fight to stop it," Angel answered, making her audience nod in understanding. "The akuma in this episode is called the King of Plastic. He immobilizes people with the Bee's Venom power and turns them into plastic statues."
"Who's that akuma?" Marinette asked curiously as well as everyone else.
"Bertrand King," Angel answered.
"The biggest plastic manufacturer in all of Paris . the actual King of Plastic?" Max asked as soon as he recognized the name as well as everyone else.
"Yep! Let's get started!" Angel said as she played the next episode after nodding in confirmation.
AUTHOR'S NOTE: I know you all probably expect Collusion to be next, but chronologically, the environmental special Action is next. That episode won't air until September according to the wiki, so it'd be a long while until I update. Sorry if that inconveniences you all. Have a nice day!
