[[folder:Origins Part 1: Tales of Chloé the Ladybug]]
* Marinette's initial reaction to the report of Stoneheart's appearance? [[UnusuallyUninterestingSight An apathetic "Sucks"]] [[https://zoe-oneesama.tumblr.com/post/182259726909/thought-you-could-slack-off-did-you-episode-1 as she munches on popcorn]]. She only reacts when she notices Alya [[GoingForTheBigScoop pedaling after it]]. The creator comment of "Thought you could slack off, did you?!" under the strip [[DoubleMeaning feels like it applies]] to both Chloé ''and'' [[MissedTheCall her]].
* How Scarlet Lady and Chat Noir meet: [[https://zoe-oneesama.tumblr.com/post/182307166004/is-it-always-gonna-be-like-this-episode-1-part-3 the former is flung headlong into the latter]].
-->'''Chat Noir:''' [[IncrediblyLamePun Well, nice of you to drop in!]]\\
'''Scarlet Lady:''' ''[[[LamePunReaction face scrunched up]]]'' [[ThisIsGonnaSuck Omigod, no]].
* Scarlet's attempt to make "Clumsinette" look bad by refusing to help completely backfires when the latter instead ''immediately'' snaps into Heroine Mode and takes charge of the situation.
* In the seventh panel of part 6, the akuma hovers behind Scarlet Lady, asking if she's going to try to capture it. When she doesn't, the akuma says goodbye and flutters away in the next panel.
-->'''Akuma:''' K, C U tomorrow.
* Wayzz and Master Fu's reactions to the [[https://zoe-oneesama.tumblr.com/post/182693839374/no-one-likes-this-punchline-episode-1-part-7 news of Scarlet Lady's debut]] (which also features Marinette as her civilian self, thus revealing she isn't the Ladybug heroine):
-->'''Wayzz:''' ''[squinty-eyed]'' Wait...\\
'''Master Fu:''' ''[dropping his tea in shock]''

[[folder:Origins Part 2: Tales of Chat Noir the Exhausted]]
* Marinette's unimpressed expression when Alya [[https://zoe-oneesama.tumblr.com/post/182790688664/its-not-good-to-suppress-your-true-feelings gushes about Scarlet Lady]], only to snap into a flowery smile when Alya glances back.
* Adrien discovers just how much he's been holding back:
-->'''Natalie:''' Adrien! Don't do this! Your father will be furious!\\
'''Adrien:''' ''[thinking] I let myself be bossed around yesterday, but no more! Tell them what you really think!''\\
'''Adrien:''' ''[out loud]'' TELL HIM [[PrecisionFStrike F@$% YOU!!!]]\\
'''Natalie:''' ?!\\
'''Adrien:''' ''[thinking] Maybe I've been holding in more than I thought.''\\
'''Adrien:''' Please?
* Chloé's blank expression when [[https://zoe-oneesama.tumblr.com/post/182855950174/gawd-adrien-dont-you-know-where-the-focus-is Adrien praises Chat Noir]]. It's followed by her ''trying'' to compliment the cat and [[BloodFromTheMouth spitting blood]] from the effort.
* Sabrina's inner thoughts as Chloé starts gushing to her about Scarlet Lady reveal that [[https://zoe-oneesama.tumblr.com/post/182946977619/dont-get-too-excited-guys-episode-2-part-3 she's more relieved that this means]] her friend's distracted from her original plans:
-->'''Sabrina:''' ''[thinking] I don't know why Chloé's so into Scarlet Lady... [sweating as she glances away guiltily] [[PragmaticVillainy But at least now I don't have to touch chewed gum!]] You're welcome, Marinette.''
* When Stoneheart [[https://zoe-oneesama.tumblr.com/post/183103967199/at-least-one-of-these-heroes-is-paying-attention pitches Marinette]], Mayor André and Chat Noir are both ''horrified''... while Scarlet Lady dispassionately examines her nails. The mayor and Chat Noir soon notice the Ladybug heroine's lack of concern and just stare at her in shock.
* Marinette's reaction to Chat Noir catching her and calling her "Princess": one panel of sparkly-eyed admiration followed by squinting and a flat "Princess?"
* Alya's teary-eyed commentary in the bonus:
-->'''Alya:''' ''[typing]'' Scarlet Lady is rushing to the Eiffel Tower to deal with the akuma, a complete professional decision that I 100% stand behind and I'm definitely not bitter about.
* Hawkmoth's communication through the butterflies is [[https://zoe-oneesama.tumblr.com/post/183174797289/tensions-are-pretty-high-as-you-can-see-episode depicted as a latch-mouthed]], ovaloid VideoGame/PacMan. The page is tagged, [[HashtagForLaughs "#Waka Waka Waka Hawkmoth."]]
* As Chat Noir goes starry-eyed over Marinette's [[ShutUpHannibal rebuke]], you can see that she's [[FlippingTheBird flipping Hawkmoth off]]. [[AmazonChaser He was gone]] the moment she told the villain to go [[PrecisionFStrike fuck himself]].
* Nathaniel and Ivan [[FunnyBackgroundEvent scoot away from Marinette]] as she [[https://zoe-oneesama.tumblr.com/post/183436865534/get-rekt-episode-2-part-9-first-previous gleefully waits for Chloé]] to show up. Marinette even has a pair of devil horns with a CheshireCatGrin!
* The fact that Chloé is the most upset by Marinette [[ITakeOffenseToThatLastOne insulting her ponytail]] in her TheReasonYouSuckSpeech. Sabrina even lampshades this.
* Marinette and Adrien [[BondingOverDislikes bond]] [[https://zoe-oneesama.tumblr.com/post/183593974689/justplay-in-the-rain-while-you-read-this-to over their mutual hatred of Scarlet Lady]].
-->'''Marinette:''' Sooo... how do you feel about the heroes?\\
'''Adrien:''' Chat Noir was so cool! He took on that akuma-thingy all of his own, you know.\\
'''Marinette:''' So then... what about Scarlet Lady?\\
'''Adrien:''' Oh, she's the worst. Tool all the credit did none of the work? Ugh.\\
'''Marinette:''' ''[whispering]'' ... I love you.
* The sheer amount of side-eye Wayzz is giving Fu as he [[NeverMyFault denies screwing up]]:
-->'''Master Fu:''' ... this one is not my fault, Wayzz.\\
'''Wayzz:''' Master, would it not have been wiser to put it in her room or--\\
'''Master Fu:''' NOT MY FAULT!!

[[folder:Stormy Weather: Tales of Aurore the Weather Girl]]
* Tikki rejects Chloé's offer of tiny chocolates, insisting that she [[TrademarkFavoriteFood only eats cookies]]. The Kwami follows this with a moment of consideration before adding, "''Dupain-Cheng'' cookies only," while [[https://zoe-oneesama.tumblr.com/post/183637802834/you-just-like-mireille-because-she-wears-her upending the chocolate plate like a cat]].
* Adrien fantasizes about doing the photo-shoot with Marinette... only for Vincent to pick Alya. Adrien's face is hilarious, as is Alya's reaction:
-->'''Alya:''' [[SarcasmMode Whoa, curb your enthusiasm.]] Dick.
* Alya tries to cheer Adrien up by pointing to the approaching Marinette, telling him, [[TemptingFate "The perfect girl for the job is right over there"]]... right before Chloé arrives and shoves Marinette aside.
-->'''Adrien:''' Why can things never just be nice.
* Aurore [[https://zoe-oneesama.tumblr.com/post/183922938949/adrien-cant-catch-a-break-agreste-episode-3-part furiously ranting to Hawkmoth]] while the caption berates her to not [[CommonalityConnection bond]] with the supervillain:
-->'''Hawkmoth:''' You definitely should have won.\\
'''Aurore:''' I '''''obviously''''' should have won!!! Mireille can't even look at the camera for more than 5 seconds!!\\
'''Hawkmoth:''' Ah, yes, I agree. Which is why--\\
'''Aurore:''' And she never dresses professionally! Is she gonna give the report in her pajamas?!\\
'''Hawkmoth:''' Ugh. Nothing worse than a sloppy-looking crew.\\
'''Aurore:''' Thank you!!!
* Vincent is unimpressed by [[https://zoe-oneesama.tumblr.com/post/183997570409/frostbite-is-nothing-to-worry-about-right Chloé's attempt to horn in on HIS photo shoot]]:
-->'''Chloé:''' Do you know who you're talking to?!\\
'''Vincent:''' ''[glances down]'' An idiot who wears white pants to the park?
* After Vincent declares that he's already chosen Alya as a model while the two of them smirk at an infuriated Chloé... only to both develop BlankWhiteEyes in the fraction of a second they have to react to being frozen solid by Stormy Weather.
* When Marinette asks Aurore [[ArmorPiercingQuestion why she's at the park]], Aurore responds by saying she's now Stormy Weather... followed by a beat as she wonders ''why'' she came to the park:
-->'''Stormy Weather:''' Wait, why '''''did''''' I come here? It's just balloons.
* Stormy Weather asks Marinette whom she voted for; Marinette answers Aurore. Then Manon [[TooDumbToLive jumps in to say she voted for Mireille]]. Marinette glares at the little girl while Stormy Weather [[WouldHurtAChild aims her weapon at Manon]]. The author notes that considering who [[GoingForTheBigScoop Manon's]] [[IntrepidReporter mother]] is, lack of self-preservation probably runs in the family.
-->'''Caption:''' Should've kept that one to yourself Manon.
* Marinette [[FailedASpotCheck completely misses]] Adrien transforming into Chat Noir right behind her.
* When Tikki tells Chloé she needs to transform, Chloé for once immediately agrees with her. [[HopeSpot Tikki thinks she's finally managed to get Chloé to think selflessly...]] only to get her hopes crushed when Chloé makes it clear [[PragmaticVillainy she's only acting because Stormy Weather ruined her "date" with Adrien]].
* Chat Noir's response to Scarlet Lady declaring that Stormy Weather ruined her date:
-->'''Chat Noir:''' Someone wants to date you?
** Scarlet Lady attempts to throw her yo-yo at Stormy... [[EpicFail and it lands barely a meter away from her]]. Chat Noir struggles not to crack up laughing.
** After her yo-yo attack fails, Scarlet tries to ChangeTheUncomfortableSubject by ordering her partner to defeat the akuma. It doesn't quite work.
-->'''Scarlet Lady:''' ''[blushing]'' Well, hurry up and take her out!\\
'''Chat Noir:''' ''[barely stifling a laugh]'' Omigod, you're so useless.
* Doubles as [[SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome Awesome]], but Stormy Weather quickly [[CurbStompBattle curb-stomps]] both heroes and even caps it all off with a FlawlessVictory pose. Scarlet even cries, [[RunningGag "My hair!"]] as she's being tossed into the fountain and is later seen completely unconscious.
* Marinette is forced to just sit on the park bench and wait for Stormy Weather to get deakumatized, all while Master Fu [[StalkerWithoutACrush secretly watches her from behind a nearby tree]]. Marinette then suddenly yells in frustration, startling Fu as well.
* Chat Noir finds the sight of Alec Cataldi frozen in a block of ice to be [[NoSympathy strangely satisfying]] despite not even knowing the host had rigged the weather girl contest.
* The Lucky Charm is a towel. Scarlet Lady proclaims that it's perfect, and [[HopeSpot Chat Noir is surprised she actually has a plan for once]]... only to then see her use it to dry off her hair.
* Chat Noir just can't resist making puns. When he's just forced Stormy Weather to land:
-->'''Chat Noir:''' You're grounded, Stormy Weather.\\
'''Stormy Weather:''' [[LamePunReaction Omigod, no. Just end me please.]]\\
'''Tags:''' #stormy there's going to be puns you've got to accept that fact
* After Stormy Weather is defeated, Alya still shivers a bit from being frozen solid.
* When the photo-shoot restarts, Chloé attempts to shoehorn herself in as Adrien's partner, only for The Gorilla to grab her, put her to the side, push Marinette forward in her place, and give Marinette and Adrien a thumbs up while the bodyguard's charge sports a shit-eating grin. The Gorilla even does all this without changing his expression.
* Aurore begins to apologize to Mireille for not [[GracefulLoser handling her loss gracefully]]... only for Mireille to beg ''her'' to be the weather girl instead. It turns out Mireille tweeted out that the results were rigged, and Alec now has to deal with a flood of calls from Aurore's angry fans. Aurore even gives a FlatWhat when she learns this.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Bubbler: Tales of Nino the Party Planner]]
* Marinette glances at her photo with Adrien taken at the end of "Stormy Weather" and wishes him happy birthday... which is followed by a DescriptionCut of a tired Adrien with bags under his eyes, {{faceplant}}ing into his breakfast while dozing off at the table.
-->'''Nathalie:''' Good morni-ADRIEN!\\
'''Caption:''' Tell it to my eye bags, Nathalie.
* Adrien asks about having a party:
-->'''Adrien:''' Did Father say anything about having a party?\\
'''Nathalie:''' He... doesn't think it's a good idea.\\
'''Adrien:''' [[ArmorPiercingQuestion But... why?]]\\
'''Nathalie:''' [[BecauseISaidSo BECAUSE-!]]\\
''[{{beat}}]''\\
'''Adrien:''' You got nuthing.
* Chloé lets out a BigWhat as Nino wishes Adrien a happy birthday, frightening the two guys. She's then seen throttling Sabrina by the collar, causing her friend to [[GivingUpTheGhost give up the ghost]].
* Adrien getting down on one knee when Marinette gives him coffee and cookies. And right after [[InstantlyProvenWrong Chloé declared he wouldn't touch those gifts]], too.
* Nathalie looks around and does some NotSoInnocentWhistling as she takes Marinette's gift for Adrien and prepares to pass it off as being from Gabriel.
* Mr. Agreste's opinion of Nino as "fashion trash."
* Adrien's response to his father not only refusing to let him have a party but also banning Nino from the house? He announces that [[NonconformistDyedHair he will dye his hair green]], causing his father to have an ''epic'' JawDrop. The following day, [[BrickJoke Adrien's revealed to have in fact gone through with it]].
* While getting akumatized, Nino commenting on how Hawkmoth seems out of breath:
-->'''Nino:''' No, seriously, you sound like a geriatric. Like ''[[DramaticIrony Adrien's pops]]'' [[MoreInsultingThanIntended old]].\\
'''Hawkmoth:''' ''[CrossPoppingVeins]''
* Marinette finds herself [[VillainHasAPoint accidentally agreeing with The Bubbler]] about how unfair it is that Gabriel refuses to even let Adrien have a birthday party.
* Adrien battles between having the first birthday party of his life (and leaving the akuma to Scarlet Lady) or doing the responsible thing as Chat Noir:
-->'''Narration:''' [[NotSoAboveItAll He choose party.]]
* What ultimately spurs Chloé into action? The Bubbler allowing [[GreenEyedMonster Marinette and Adrien to share a slow dance together]] (when ''[[HoistByTheirOwnPetard she]]'' [[BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor requested a slow dance song]], no less).
-->'''Tikki''': Chloé! The '''''Bubbler!'''''\\
'''Chloé:''' Would you buzz off?! Wait until '''''after''''' my dance with-- ''[sees Adrien dancing with Marinette]'' '''''Adrien?!''''' This akuma must be stopped!\\
'''Tikki''': Oh Lord.
* In the bonus strip, Alix dances with Max... who doesn't have his glasses because The Bubbler captured his mother while she was cleaning them. He mentions that he wouldn't know who he was talking to if it weren't for the hair.
* Seeing Scarlet Lady about to fight The Bubbler, [[TemptingFate Adrien thinks that it should be funny to watch the heroine take on a villain by herself for once]]... right before [[BerserkButton he sees Marinette get bubbled and sent into the atmosphere as well]]. Adrien is ''so'' infuriated by this that he nearly ''transforms out in the open''. Plagg has to remind him to find a place to hide first.
* [[BigDamnHeroes Chat Noir saves a distracted Scarlet Lady from being bubbled by tackling her to the ground.]] Unfortunately, the Ladybug heroine [[UngratefulBitch isn't the least bit grateful about it]].
-->'''Scarlet Lady:''' ''[pinching Chat Noir's nose]'' Get off me!! [[RunningGag You better not have messed up my hair!!]]\\
'''Chat Noir:''' Ow! Ugh, if I didn't need your Lucky Charm...\\
'''Caption:''' Dammit, Chat Noir, NOW people are going to [[ShippingGoggles SHIP IT]]!
* The author notes that one of the panels shows Chat Noir's rear.
-->'''Tags:''' #I call this the butt page
* Scarlet Lady finally summons Lucky Charm, which takes the form of a large spanner... and then just nonchalantly hands it over to her partner.
-->'''Scarlet Lady:''' Lucky Charm or whatever.\\
'''Chat Noir:''' Wow, curb your enthusiasm\\
'''Scarlet Lady:''' ''[catching and tossing the spanner to Chat Noir]'' Here you go.\\
'''Chat Noir:''' [[YouHaveGotToBeKiddingMe Seriously?!]]\\
'''Caption:''' Do you care about ANYTHING once your spectators are gone Scarlet?
** Chat Noir manages to use the Lucky Charm... by [[CuttingTheKnot throwing it at The Bubbler and hitting him in the head with it]].
** He later has to carry both the passed-out Bubbler and the Lucky Charm spanner down from the Eiffel Tower and bring them to Scarlet Lady (who apparently spent the entire fight examining her nails despite her costume covering her entire hand) so she can cast the Miraculous Cure.
* [[ComicallyMissingThePoint Hawkmoth praises Scarlet Lady for cleverly staying away from the fight to protect her earrings]]. The truth, of course, is that [[EntertaininglyWrong Scarlet Lady is just too lazy to actually participate in fights]].
* Nathalie nervously tries to pass Marinette's present off as Gabriel's, even appearing in front of Adrien with a disheveled look as an arrow point at her says, "Totally didn't run." Adrien then skeptically looks at his wrapped birthday gift and wonders if it's stationary to go with the pens he's gotten in the past.
-->'''Nathalie:''' I DON'T KNOW they were '''''nice''''' pens!
* Marinette is so ''[[BerserkButton furious]]'' that Gabriel forgot his own son's birthday that she prevents Alya from explaining that Gabriel's present to Adrien was really from Marinette.
-->'''Caption:''' Don't worry about pissing off your dad, Adrien. Marinette's going to kill him before he ''ever'' sees your hair.

[[folder:Lady Wifi: Tales of Alya the Journalist]]
* When Mme. Bustier asks Sabrina where Adrien and Chloé are, we see a cutaway of the two fighting a monster. Well, ''Chat Noir'' is and wrapped up in its tentacle; Scarlet Lady, meanwhile, is preoccupied with putting on lipstick as she sits out the fight.
-->'''Sabrina:''' Uhhh... ''[[[DescriptionCut cutting to the pair, then back to her]]]'' ... Bathroom?
** Chat Noir can be seen SymbolSwearing, but it's hard to tell whether it's at the akuma or his partner for ignoring him just to apply lipstick.
** The best part? Mme. Bustier doesn't swallow the lie because she knows Chloé would ''never'' willingly enter a public bathroom.
** When Sabrina later asks about where Chloé is, Alya [[BrickJoke suggests she has IBS]].
* When Alya spots Marinette with a spotted yo-yo, she instantly suspects her to be Scarlet Lady, getting [[WingdingEyes starry eyes]] and crying, "Le gasp!"
** Alya then drags a comically confused Sabrina out of the room and has [[WingdingEyes hearts in her eyes]] as she exclaims how Marinette must be Scarlet Lady.
** After hearing Alya's theory, Sabrina's blank expression just screams, "Nope, don't want any of this," and she passes the buck onto Nino.
-->'''Caption:''' Sabrina can only handle a very specific kind of crazy, Alya, and you don't qualify.
* Alya tells Nino her theory. Nino says she's nuts because there's no way [[NiceGirl Marinette]] could be [[NominalHero Scarlet]] [[AlphaBitch Lady]]. Unfortunately, [[ComicallyMissingThePoint Alya doesn't quite get it]].
-->'''Nino:''' You're nuts.\\
'''Alya:''' Are you saying Marinette can't be a hero?!\\
'''Nino:''' Noooo, but have you ever actually met Scarlet Lady? She's kind of a b***h. Should have seen the way she talked to Chat after I woke up.\\
'''Alya:''' [[SustainedMisunderstanding Marinette would never! She's the nicest person we know!]]\\
'''Nino:''' I know, which is exactly why she couldn't possibly be Scarlet Lady.\\
'''Caption:''' Okay, but do you have ''evidence'' that Scarlet Lady is a shrew Nino?\\
'''Tags:''' #not everyone is as woke as Nino
* Nino suggests just asking Marinette about the spotted product. Alya tries to via a phone call but only gets her voice mail.
-->'''Alya:''' Well I tried, only one thing to do...\\
'''Nino:''' [[StatingTheSimpleSolution Ask her in the morning?]]\\
'''Alya:''' ''[[[WingdingEyes starry-eyed]]]'' [[PersonalSpaceInvader Break into her locker!]] We exchanged combos anyway.\\
'''Nino:''' ''[[[FacePalm resting his head on his hand]]]'' I'm going to be bailing you out of jail one day, aren't I?\\
'''Caption:''' ''Everybody's'' gonna end up in jail at the trajectory we're currently going at.\\
'''Tags:''' #Alya I-did-a-minimal-amount-of-research-so-I'm-good-to-go Cesaire
* Chloé's [[BigWhat reaction when]] Sabrina tells her Alya's theory about Marinette being Scarlet Lady. Chloé's is visibly frightened while Tikki has a knowing expression and mischievous CheshireCatGrin at her holder's FreakOut.
* After finishing her project and getting started on her homework, Marinette decides that she should probably stop talking to herself.
-->'''Caption:''' Gee Marinette, it's almost as if something is ''missing''.
* Sabrina asks Chloé if she really wants to spy on Alya just for ''daring'' to think Marinette is Scarlet Lady. Chloé confirms she does and states Sabrina doesn't understand how important it is to her. Which, yeah, Sabrina pouts she ''doesn't'', mainly because she doesn't ''know'' Chloé ''is'' Scarlet Lady.
* Chloé melodramatically exclaiming how Alya invading Marinette's privacy robbed Marinette of her "soul" and corrupted her "essence" baffles everyone and causes them to {{sweatdrop}}.
** The caption details, "Chloe had to go to the bathroom after to [[BloodFromTheMouth cough up blood]] after ''defending'' Marinette Dupain-Cheng."
** Later, Kim and Sabrina are both confused by why Chloé would get Alya suspended for looking inside Marinette's locker, with Sabrina admitting that while she can usually follow Chloé's ([[ItsAllAboutMe twisted]]) logic, even that doesn't explain why she'd demand such a hars punishment for someonw who didn't even do anything to her.
* A bonus panel reveals Marinette slept in and is late for class. "I'm sure you didn't miss much," the caption replies.
* When Hawkmoth goes to akumatize Alya, Alya tells him about Marinette being Scarlet Lady... and he doesn't know who Marinette is. Funny 'cause, well, alternate timeline and all.
* Adrien's reaction when Nino tell him Alya's theory. Poor guy looks like he's about to faint.
* When Lady Wifi makes a transmission from M. Damocles's office and Marinette instantly recognizes she's Alya, Nino asks how she can tell despite the fact Lady Wifi ''clearly'' looks and talks like Alya.
** Marinette then gives Nino a "Really dude?" expression, and she sarcastically states it's "because of the phone charm." Nino just replies, "Whoa, you're right," [[SarcasmBlind not noticing his friend's sarcasm]].
--->'''Caption:''' [[SarcasmMode Yes it was definitely the]] ''[[SarcasmMode phone charm]]'' [[SarcasmMode and not her look, powers, or personality. The]] '''[[SarcasmMode phone charm]]''' [[SarcasmMode was the dead give away]] '''[[SarcasmMode for sure]]]'''.
** Look closely and you can see that it's taking Adrien an impressive amount of restraint to not burst out laughing at this.
* Plagg teases Adrien about liking Scarlet Lady if she really ''is'' Marinette, causing Adrien to sob at the thought of it being true. Plagg naturally knows that isn't the case [[TheGadfly but is having too much fun at Adrien's expense]].
-->'''Caption:''' The shortsightedness is rampant in this show.
* Meanwhile Tikki is angry at Chloé for what she did, only for Chloé to tell her to buzz off, feeling she's justified in stopping Alya from spreading a "ridiculous" rumor that Marinette could be Scarlet Lady. Apparently, Chloé is so self-centered and ditzy, she's forgotten that she got the Miraculous by stealing it from Marinette in the first place; she even tunes out Tikki when the Kwami attempts to remind her.
* Adrien goes to Marinette's place as Chat Noir, knowing Lady Wifi will head there. He starts to FreakOut when he sees Marinette with the mask and the yo-yo, but then Scarlet Lady shows up shortly after:
-->'''Scarlet Lady:''' Are you serious?! You think '''''she''''' could be '''''me?!'''''\\
'''Chat Noir:''' ''[thinking]'' Oh thank God.
* [[OhCrap Both Scarlet Lady and Chat Noir's reactions]] when they see Lady Wifi teleport Marinette away. Yeeeah, kinda forgot they were there to ''protect'' Marinette from her.
-->'''Caption:''' [[SarcasmMode You guys were very helpful, thank you for your contribution.]]
* All of Marinette's attempts to tell Lady Wifi that she isn't Scarlet Lady fall flat.
-->'''Marinette:''' I'm '''''not''''' Scarlet Lady.\\
'''Lady Wifi:''' '''''[[ComicallyMissingThePoint Obviously]]''''' you'd say that.\\
'''Marinette:''' I don't even '''''like''''' Scarlet Lady.\\
'''Lady Wifi:''' [[SustainedMisunderstanding Girl, we gotta work on your self esteem.]]\\
'''Caption:''' Alya, sometimes I feel like you're not ''hearing'' me.
* Lady Wifi claims that Marinette is Scarlet Lady in front of the whole city, which Marinette doesn't even fight over and is more embarrassed about, meekly waving to the camera and stating she isn't really.
* When Scarlet Lady and Chat Noir confront Lady Wifi at the hotel, the akuma does a few double-takes before deciding she'll rip Scarlet Lady's mask off her face after the Ladybug heroine insults her.
-->'''Caption:''' The ability to switch targets quickly is the mark of a true reporter (I guess).
* When seeing her own phone among the ones Lady Wifi has amassed, [[VerbalBackspace Scarlet Lady almost says, "My phone," before switching to "Chloé Bourgeois's phone."]]
* Marinette can be seen hugging a ladybug plushie (probably Chloé's) while grumbling that Alya dragged her all the way to the hotel and broadcasted her allegedly being Scarlet Lady to all of Paris, only to ditch her when teh heroes showed up.
-->'''Marinette:''' Alya, you're lucky I'm '''''not''''' a super hero cuz I'd yo-yo you in the face.
* Lady Wifi declares she'll take Scarlet Lady's earrings and give them to Marinette, proclaiming she'll be a much better hero. Chat Noir is actually ''[[ActuallyAGoodIdea on board]]'' with that idea, only to trip due to not seeing where he's running. [[TemptingFate Scarlet Lady starts to mock him]]... and likewise trips as well.
* When Lady Wifi has Scarlet Lady pinned down and tries to take off the latter's mask, Chat Noir comes in to save her, causing the akuma to think the two are romantically involved. Scarlet Lady ''instantly'' kicks her in the face for that while viciously denying anything of the sort in a WallOfText.
* When Hawkmoth tries to get Lady Wifi to take Chloé's Miraculous, the heroine is still in rant mode, kicking wildly and even ''[[FlippingTheBird flipping the akuma off]]'', which Lady Wifi censors with her lock symbols:
-->'''Lady Wifi:''' Yeah, no, I'm not going near ''that''!
* Lady Wifi tries to stop Chat Noir from destroying the wifi antenna... and he just smacks her off by throwing his baton at her head.
* Marinette and Scarlet Lady end up running up the stairs to the roof at the same time... and quickly proceed to yell at each other.
* After Alya is cleansed, Alya starts to fangirl at seeing Scarlet Lady and wants to get an interview. Naturally Chloé is more than happy to give her one, not realizing that the time limit for her powers is about to run out. Chat Noir promptly grabs her, goes back into the hotel, and dumps her into a nearby storage closet before she changes back, with her complaining all the way till he shuts the door.
-->'''Chat Noir:''' Ah, silence.
* While visiting Alya the next day, Marinette teases Alya about failing to use her memory about the Stoneheart incident to figure out Marinette couldn't be Scarlet Lady. Alya hangs her head in shame as she apologizes.
* Adrien is later seen holding the picture from his photoshoot with Marinette, tearfully declaring he'll never doubt her again.
-->'''Caption:''' This left some nightmares he'll never forget.
* Tikki hides Chloé's diamond scrunchie and destroys her curling iron as retribution for Chloé messing with Alya. The Kwami's CheshireCatGrin at her holder's misfortune just sells it.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Copycat: Tales of Théo the Admirer]]
* Upon learning that Chloé getting ready a statue unveiling to celebrate Scarlet Lady and Chat Noir, an exasperated Tikki [[WhatTheHellHero scolds Chloé's selfish reason for being a hero]] and points out that [[ComicallyMissingThePoint she'll being wearing a mask]], meaning nobody will even see all the makeup she putting on.
-->'''Caption:''' C'mon Tikki, the blue with the red ''really'' sells that patriotic vibe (which is to say there isn't one.)
* There's a RunningGag of people asking Théo how old he is.
* The DramaticIrony of Théo being RightForTheWrongReasons: Scarlet Lady's crush is indeed Chat Noir, or rather, his civilian identity.
* Adrien sees the statue of Scarlet Lady and Chat Noir, with the perspective making it look like the former is standing on the latter's back. He's not very impressed:
-->'''Adrien:''' Even as a statue, I'm pulling all the weight.\\
'''Tags:''' #adrien: I don't know what I was expecting
* When Copycat kidnaps Marinette and chains her, he forgets to take her phone.
-->'''Caption:''' I feel like you might've forgotten some things in your infinite wisom there, Copycat.
** She proceeds to post a selfie with a comment riffing on Copycat's incompetence.
--->'''Marinette's post:''' Lawl, this scrub shackled my hands but didn't take my phone.\\
#bad@villaining #thesculptordidit #chatisinnocent #bewareoftraps
** Marinette later [[FirstPersonSmartass mentally snarks]] at Copycat's [[DidntThinkThisThrough poor planning]], [[MissingStepsPlan wondering how he intended to get Chat Noir to come to the studio to begin with]].
--->'''Copycat:''' ''[after noticing that Marinette had posted about him and his location on social media]'' Seriously? I can't ignore you for a second without you putting me on blast?\\
'''Marinette:''' ''[thinking]'' Well, what is ''your'' plan for getting Chat Noir here? Sitting around and doing nothing?\\
'''Caption:''' It's almost like you were banking on this guy just walking into your warehouse without knowing who the heck you are or where the heck you work :T
* Chat Nori ends up fleeing on all fours while being pursued by the police. Scarlet Lady can't stop laughing at the sight.
* The face Chat Noir makes after hearing Copycat declare the former is Scarlet Lady's "dream guy."
* After Marinette steals Copycat's baton:
-->'''Marinette:''' Scarlet Lady, call your Lucky Charm!\\
'''Scarlet Lady:''' '''''I''''' am the hero here! '''''You''''' don't tell me what to do!\\
'''Marinette:''' [[ArmorPiercingQuestion Oh, so you want a knock off Chat Noir chasing after you forever?]]\\
'''Scarlet Lady:''' ''[[[{{Touche}} with a pained face]]]'' Lucky Charm.
* The Lucky Charm is a spoon, which Marinette ties to Chat Noir's baton like a hook for a fishing pole.
-->'''Scarlet Lady:''' You're kidding. You think you're taking him out with a '''''spoon'''''?\\
'''Marinette:''' Maybe not. But I can take him '''''[[IncrediblyLamePun up]]'''''.\\
'''Scarlet Lady:''' [[LamePunReaction Booooo!]]
* Théo admits he was akumatized because he thought Chat Noir and Scarlet Lady were in love. Chat Noir turns to DeathGlare at Scarlet Lady.
* When Marinette defends Théo, he begins to sport a CrushBlush... until Chat Noir [[DeathGlare makes it clear she's off limits]].
* The BrickJoke about Théo's age. Turns out he also goes to Françoise Dupont.
** Not only that, but it seems [[EverybodyKnewAlready everyone at school knew]] save for Alya and Adrien, both of whom only recently enrolled.
** Adrien makes a hilarious face when [[FiveSecondForeshadowing asking about Théo's goatee]]. Mlle. Mendeleiev then yelling at Théo to shave it while the sculptor protests that it's the only reason he gets taken seriously by clients just sells it.

* Marinette and Alya pulling comically grotesque faces back at Chloé.
-->'''Caption:''' Meet me in the pit, Chloé!
* Alya getting front row seats to Marinette's spiral over the fashion competition: [[MoodSwinger first she's wondering how to design a bowler hat, then resigned that she'd likely not do well regardless, then panicking over the likelihood that she'll trip, fall on Gabriel Agreste, making him and Adrien hate her and ending her dreams of being a fashion designer]]... all without any input from Alya.
-->'''Caption:''' When it's the first time you've seen your best friend spiral and you can barely keep up with her insane thought process.
* Adrien sees the designs Marinette's showing Alya and is impressed, [[RousingSpeech telling her that she's got a good chance at winning the contest]]. Marinette has sparkles in her eyes as she literally climbs on top of Alya, folding the latter in half like a chair.
-->'''Adrien:''' Whoa, I should compliment you more often.\\
'''Alya:''' Girl, '''''OW.'''''
* Officer Raincomprix angrily scolds M. Ramier for feeding the birds ''again'' despite having been told it's illegal. The latter tries to get out of trouble by suggesting that ''he'' isn't forbidden from doing it, only for Roger to immediately yell, [[EspeciallyZoidberg "Especially for you!"]]
-->'''Tags:''' #rules are more like loose suggestions amiright?
* Marinette is so inspired by a pigeon she sees sitting next to her that she [[FailedASpotCheck doesn't notice]] Officer Roger getting ambushed by an entire flock of them.
-->'''Caption:''' Peripheral Vision, what's that?
** The pigeon next to her does, though, and actually turns its head from the design in Marinette's sketchbook to the commotion, with its gaze on the flock as Roger is carried away.
** The tags even reveal that said pigeon is Jacques, the same one whom Marinette introduces to Alya in "The Mime" and who is mentioned in "Reflekta" to have photobombed Rose and Juleka.
--->'''Tags:''' #jacques is like 'did I miss a Pigeon meeting?!'
* When Marinette learns about M. Pigeon and his namesake birds taking over Paris, [[FantasticallyIndifferent her only reaction is to grumble that she now has to walk home]].
-->'''Caption:''' Just [[SeenItAll another day]] in Daily Akumas Paris, France.
* Tikki attempts to make Chloé fight, but Chloé refuses due to being afraid the birds will ruin her hair. Seeing Chat Noir passing nearby, Tikki quickly comes up with a way to trick Chloé into doing it: appealing to her AttentionWhore antics. It works like a charm, and the Kwami even sticks her tongue out in an AsideGalance.
--> '''Tikki: ''' ''[snarking]'' Well, I guess we'll leave the akuma--and the '''''after interview'''''--to Chat Noir.\\
'''Chloé:''' ''[dead serious]'' '''''The hell we are.'''''
* When Sabine sees her daughter coming down the stairs with two superheroes in tow, she asks, "... Whatcha got there?" Marinette replies, [[ComicallyMissingThePoint "A hat,"]] referring to the costume police cap she brought down from her room.
* Chat Noir attempts to show Marinette how to [[ActingUnnatural "act natural,"]] which seemingly includes him doing the Music/GangnamStyle dance.
* In part 8, a bonus scene has Mr. Pigeon crowd surfing on a flock of pigeons:
-->'''Caption:''' These Pigeons need to Unionize if he's just gonna jump off buildings onto them.
* Chloé gives a NoblewomansLaugh over how [[TemptingFate she doesn't have any real competition in the contest]], Sabrina {{sweatdrop}}s at her friend's overconfidence while everyone else glares at Chloé with CrossPoppingVeins.
* Chloé's OhCrap expression when Marinette proves that her design had been copied by the former, especially as Alya calls Chloé an idiot while Principal Damocles {{sweatdrop}}s with an unamused glare. Then, after failing to throw Sabrina under the bus, Chloé runs away [[InelegantBlubbering crying]] over getting disqualified and banned from future contests.

[[folder:The Pharaoh: Tales of Jalil the Conspiracy Theorist]]
* One RunningGag throughout the episode is people getting shoved:
** Alya is the first to do this, pushing an annoyed Alix aside while running to film Scarlet Lady.
** Shortly afterwards, Jalil shoves Alya aside on his way to his father. Alix even scoffs, "Ha!" at her classmate getting ATasteOfTheirOwnMedicine.
** Jalil then triggers a chain of DisasterDominoes by pushing Scarlet Lady, who falls into Alix, who tumbles into Marinette, who then falls into Adrien's arms, which Adrien doesn't at all mind... until Scarlet Lady also notices his presence.
* With Scarlet Lady, Adrien, Marinette, and Alya all present to look at the Miraculous-related parts of the exhibit and tons of people there to watch Scarlet Lady, Alix's father Alim literally has to scream at everyone that the exhibit is about Tutankhamun. Alix can only FacePalm.
* The vast majority of the humor is provided by Alix, especially when she's snarking at her brother's ''numerous'' inaccurate statements about Egyptology. A lot of the captions are provided on her behalf too.
** The dialogue as Jalil talks about his theory and Alix pokes holes in it:
--->'''Jalil:''' Papa, look, this is Akhenaten and Nefertiti. She died before him-\\
'''Alix:''' She literally didn't.\\
'''Jalil:''' -and Ra made her his goddess.\\
'''Alix:''' He literally wouldn't.\\
'''Jalil:''' Akhenaten offered up a '''''new''''' wife to Ra so '''''his''''' would be brought back to life.\\
'''Alix:''' Dude, Egyptians would be super '''''not''''' into that.\\
'''Jalil:''' This scroll details that very ritual--and only '''''I''''' have deciphered the hieroglyphics!\\
'''Alix:''' Lieeeeees!\\
'''Jalil:''' '''''WOULD YOU STOP THAT?!'''''\\
'''Alix:''' '''''PEDDLE YOUR BAD FANFIC SOMEWHERE ELSE!'''''
** The author notes that Alix needed to prevent Jalil from inadvertently causing her classmates to fail their test.
** Alix is also quick to point out how badly Jalil [[SadlyMythCharacterized misinterprets the Egyptian pantheon]]:
--->'''Alix:''' ''[hearing Jalil invoke Thoth for time powers]'' [[SomethingOnlyTheywouldSay Only he would get the god of writing and magic so wrong.]]\\
'''Alix:''' ''[after Jalili invokes Sekhmet for strength]'' She fights to '''''protect''''' people, you '''''[[KnowNothingKnowItAll poser!]]'''''\\
'''Alix:''' ''[hearing her brother invoke Horus for wings]'' Just because he's a bird doesn't mean you can '''''fly,''''' you t**t! ''[prolonged muffled screaming]''
* There's this exchange that encapsulates the relationship between Jalil and (what he sees as) his FantasyForbiddingFather:
-->'''Mr. Kubdel:''' Jalil, you're not using museum artifacts to perform a '''''[[HumanSacrifice sacrificial ritual!]]''''' For several reasons!\\
'''Jalil:''' ''[[[FlippingTheBird flipping him off]]]'' [[ComicallyMissinglyThePoint Gawd, you just don't understand me dad!]]
* Jalil's obsession with proving his conspiracy theories [[EvenEvilHasStandards annoys Hawkmoth as well]].
-->'''Jalil:''' My precious Nefertiti will come back to life! And I'll '''''totally''''' show my dad!\\
'''Hawkmoth:''' Ugh, teenagers...\\
'''Tags:''' #weiiiiiird hawkmoth [[NoSympathy doesn't feel sympathy]] for the boi
* Alix and Marinette both fail to notice Adrien ducking around the corner right behind them to transform.
-->'''Caption:''' A true master of Dissolving into the Shadows, to be sure.
* Chat Noir introduces himself as a WorthyOpponent to the Pharaoh. [[DudeWheresMyRespect To the hero's chagrin]], the akuma [[RecognitionFailure doesn't even know who he is]].
* As Alya's being carried off by the Pharaoh, two bystanders, a young boy and his father, watch nearby. The boy turns to his father and has this conversation:
-->'''Boy:''' Dad? Shouldn't we... go?\\
'''Father:''' ''[expressionless]'' [[BystanderSyndrome No son.]] ''[takes a drag of his cigarette]'' [[ConditionedToAcceptHorror This is our lives now.]]\\
'''Pharaoh:''' ''[offscreen]'' ANUBIS, WAKE MY MUMMIES!\\
'''Boy:''' ''[flatly]'' [[FantasticallyIndifferent Here we go.]]\\
'''Caption:''' [[SeenItAll Another Boring Day in the life of a Parisian.]]
* Scarlet Lady tells Chat Noir to distract the Pharaoh while she saves Alya. He eagerly agrees with two thumbs up... [[MoodWhiplash right before shifting to a much more serious expression]] as he tells Marinette and Alix to wait for an ''actual'' opening. [[FunnyBackgroundEvent Marinette and Alix's facial expressions even change with Chat Noir's]], going from perplexed that he's agreeing with Scarlet to amused when the superhero reveals his real plan.
* Since Marinette is wearing a skirt, she has to be careful to avoid an accidental PantyShot as Alix and Scarlet Lady quickly take the Lucky Charm costume off of her so the heroine can cast the Miraculous Cure.
-->'''Marinette:''' Okay, okay, keep your pants on! Or at least let me keep mine on!\\
'''Caption:''' Give a girl some privacy!
* As Chat Noir catches her after the Pharaoh has been defeated, [[ComicallyMissingThePoint Alya pouts that she would]] ''[[ComicallyMissingThePoint so]]'' [[ComicallyMissingThePoint make a good sacrifice]].
* Adrien decides to give up on looking for the Chat Noir artifacts that Plagg mentioned, convinced the Kwami was just messing with him... [[GaveUpTooSoon right as]] [[FailedASpotCheck he walks past a statue of a black cat]]. Said statue even {{sweatdrop}}s as it stares at Adrien's passing figure.
* Plagg gets to play with a cat toy like a normal cat, [[https://zoe-oneesama.tumblr.com/post/190279257854/local-cat-boy-needs-constant-validation-and-in then acts like a piranha]].
* This is Alim's response to being asked if he knew his son was akumatized (while [[INeedAFreakingDrink holding a drink in his hand]] with a bottle next to him):

-->'''Chloé:''' What are you, a baby?!\\

'''Marinette:''' [[RhetoricalQuestionBlunder Show of hands?]]\\
'''Everyone else:''' ''[raises their hands]''\\
'''Chloé:''' ''[huffs]'' Oh, who asked you?
* Alya, Adrien, and Ivan are [[https://zoe-oneesama.tumblr.com/post/190539279714/nino-you-might-want-to-slow-down-before-you-get less than impressed]] by Chloé revealing that Nino changed the script to include a kiss. Alya's pissed that he altered her script while Ivan's going full BewareTheNiceOnes.
** In an aside, one of the others is shocked to realize that they're still on the opening scene.
** In the bonus panel, it's revealed that the reason Horrificator is non-verbal is because [[EvilIsPetty Mylène sassed Hawkmoth]].
* When everyone points out why they shouldn't let Chloé take Mylène's role, Adrien adds that Chloé doesn't even remember the characters' names.
-->'''Chloé:''' Stop helping, Adrikins!
* Marinette shutting down Nino's attempt to boss the others around is [[https://zoe-oneesama.tumblr.com/post/190669187229/management-is-taking-over-episode-9-part-6-first the thing of Nightmares]].
-->'''Nino:''' Ex-'''''CUSE YOU''''' guys, but '''''I''''' am the director, and what I say goes!\\
'''Marinette:''' ''[snagging his ear]'' And I am the producer, the person who '''''picked''''' the director.

And if you don't turn down the attitude and remember that we're your friends, doing this '''''for you'''''... [[ImpliedDeathThreat I'll be the person who impaled you]] [[CutHisHeartOutWithASpoon with a clipboard]].
* Chloé suggests changing the main character to a nurse, Alya begins to say that it is a dumb idea... only for Marinette to intervene, agree with the idea, and literally shove Chloé out of the room while [[SnipeHunt suggesting that she get a uniform from the office, right now]].
* Adrien suggests adding Marinette as a new character who takes up the initial scene that would be awkward for Mylène while keeping the latter as the main character. Everyone praises him for his idea, and he preens about getting a kissing scene with Marinette. Then, during filming, Adrien and Marinette are about to kiss when Chloé kills the moment. While the others just lament her return, Adrien has a ThousandYardStare about getting cock-blocked.
* When one of Kim's armbands is found, Alya says it's covered with the same stuff from the bathroom. Alix then says [[TooMuchInformation TMI]].
-->'''Alya:''' [[ThatCameOutWrong Not like that]], '''''ew!'''''
* Chat Noir appears as Horrificator's goo covers the windows, trapping everyone inside... and Nino ''immediately'' thinks [[SkewedPriorities he can bring Chat into his movie]]. Chat Noir even points out Nino's SkewedPriorities when the latter continues focusing on filming the events.
* Meanwhile, Chloé finally gets a motive to act: [[AttentionWhore to prevent Chat Noir from getting all the attention]]. So she leaves behind her favorite nail polish and acts as if it were a great sacrifice. The reactions once it's discovered?
-->'''Sabrina:''' [[OOCIsSeriousBusiness This is Chloé's favorite!]] Something '''''horrible''''' must have happened to her!\\
'''Alix:''' If we're lucky.

-->'''Marinette:''' '''''JUST SING THE DAMN SONG!''''' It's nasty in here!
* After Nino proudly presents his (''terrible'') film to André Bourgeois, he's promptly told by the mayor to GetOut He later gradually realizes why Mayor Bourgeois had such a (justifiably) negative reaction:

[[folder:Rogercop: Tales of Roger the Police Officer]]
* The first page's bonus panel features Juleka saying her mother decided not to come because "there'd be a cop."
* Since Gabriel broke his promise to attend Parent's Career Day, Adrien calls his father and implies that he'll ruin his diet by helping himself to the free croissants. Gabriel, already transformed into Hawkmoth, reacts thusly:
-->'''Gabriel:''' [[EvilIsPetty Oh, I'm akumatizing the]] '''''[[BleepDammit s**t]]''''' [[EvilIsPetty out of someone now.]]
** Meanwhile, Chloé is showing off her bracelet and tells Marinette (who is handing out the free croissants) not to get her "poor grease" near it. Marinette promptly skips her.
** Adrien absolutely ''lights up'' when Marinette gives him a croissant.
* The tags state that [[TheGadfly Tikki is purposely getting cookie crumbs all over the inside of Chloé's bag as revenge]].
* Sabrina responds to Chloé ordering Mayor André to fire ''her'' dad [[https://zoe-oneesama.tumblr.com/post/611881486148321280/color-me-absolutely-shocked-episode-10-part-3 by making the]] [[Memes/{{Pokemon}} "Surprised Pikachu face."]]
** Roger then makes the exact same expression when the mayor actually ''does'' fire him.
** The bonus panel also implies that Hawkmoth is well aware of how Chloé has the mayor wrapped around her finger and isn't even surprised by her being the reason for Roger's firing.
* Chloé getting Sabrina's bag right in the face... while the latter is undergoing a HeroicBSOD no less.
-->'''Caption:''' Excuse me, Marinette, can't you see I'm busy ''SPIRALING''?!
* Rogercop insists on [[HonorBeforeReason waiting for the traffic light to turn green since jaywalking is illegal]].
-->'''Rogercop:''' Justice waits for a green light. Even if it takes forever.
* When Tom [[NotNowKiddo tells Marinette to stand down and let the adults handle things]], she gives him a disgusted look and an unimpressed [[DeadpanSnarker "Seriously?"]] while gesturing to how none the adults (Tom included) are doing anything to help resolve the situation.
* Marinette has a completely flat look on her face when she dumps her bag out in front of Chloé to prove the bracelet isn't in there. When Chloé then [[MovingTheGoalposts immediately demands she empty her pockets, too]], Marinette declares, "I hate you."
* Rogercop arrives at the school:
-->'''Adrien:''' Looks like I'm a total '''''[[TemptingFate jinx]]''''' and it's an '''''akuma.'''''\\
'''Plagg:''' ''[sniff]'' You're a true Black Cat.\\

* Plagg when Adrien tries to get the bracelet off the former's head by making him sneeze:
-->'''Plagg:''' Why do you have pepper in your locker?\\
'''Caption:''' Unsolved Mysteries.
* Chat Noir's reaction to seeing Chloé throwing Marinette inside Rogercop's car before getting in herself:
-->'''Chat Noir:''' [[YouHaveGotToBeKiddingMe Did they just get voluntarily kidnapped?!]]
* [[FantasticallyIndifferent Alya is completely unconcerned that Chloé dragged Marinette off to the akuma.]] The author explains in the tags, "#alya's convinced marinette's impervious to akumas at this point."
* Tom tries to call Alya out for not doing anything to stop Chloé, only for Alya to retort, [[NeverMyFault "Uh, neither did you?"]] It's made funnier by how [[{{Hypocrite}} Tom had early tried to chide Marinette to let the adults handle everything]].
* While Marinette and Chloé have a CatFight in the back of his car, Rogercop ignores them while listening to music.
-->'''Caption:''' That's so sad Hawkmoth, play Despacito.
* It's BlackComedy, but Chat Noir and Marinette's OhCrap faces when they see Chloé plummet to her seeming death are absolutely hilarious, especially when juxtaposed to Rogercop's indifference.
* [[NeverMyFault Chloé yells at Chat Noir as she falls toward the ground and later blames Rogercop]] when she survives but has her hair all messed up. However, [[FiveSecondForeshadowing as Marinette had pointed out just moments ago]], [[LaserGuidedKarma Chloé didn't put on her seat belt after getting inside Rogercop's car]].
* When Rogercop orders the police to arrest Scarlet Lady and Chat Noir, the police... refuse as he's clearly been akumatized. Chat's relieved sigh sells it, and the author even goes into a mini rant about how stupid it was for them to obey Rogercop in canon.
-->'''Police Officer 1:''' Um... no?\\
'''Police Officer 2:''' What a dumb idea.\\
'''Police Officer 3:''' That's totally an akuma, right?\\
'''Caption:''' We don't just take orders from Akuma just because they have COP in their name, c'mon.\\
'''Tags:''' #this is my rare rule break when it came to not going out of my way to make the characters smarter than canon if I can't excuse it #but this was seriously stupid for these grown adults to turn on the Heroes of Paris that protect them from an emotional terrorist #on the orders of that very terrorist's minion!
* Once Chat and Scarlet confront him, Rogercop forces Marinette and André to capture them. Marinette manages to lock her legs around a chair, but André ends up getting dragged across the floor.
** The best thing is that Rogercop catches Chat and Scarlet because Scarlet Lady [[SoMuchForStealth makes too much noise]] [[WithCatlikeTread shushing Marinette]]. Chat's FacePalm just sells it.
** Chat Noir later remarks on Marinette's trick to prevent herself from moving:
--->'''Chat Noir:''' Are you okay, Marinette?\\
'''Marinette:''' ''[sweating with exhaustion]'' My legs hurt.\\
'''Chat Noir:''' That '''''was''''' an impressive maneuver. I should add it to my workout routine.\\
'''Marinette:''' Don't mock my pain, Chaton.
* The narration after Rogercop is taken down:
-->'''Caption:''' Aw, Scarlet finally helped take out an akuma. (Don't get used to it)

[[folder:Darkblade: Tales of Armand the Knight]]
* Chloé mocks her driver for being too dense to realize she's talking about her secret identity. In reality, he's simply ignoring his passenger, thinking she's talking to herself.
* Alya calls Marinette from the hotel, telling her that Chloé is using an appearance from Jagged Stone to buy voters for the Class election. Marinette realizes something:
-->'''Marinette:''' Wait, [[ArmorPiercingQuestion what are you doing over there already?]]\\
'''Alya:''' [[OhCrap Um...]]\\
'''Caption:''' Your intentions aren't pure, ALYA!
* When D'Argencourt is talking about how his ancestor was overthrown, Adrien points out (in a thought bubble) that the ancestor sounded like a dick if he "ruled with an iron fist" and it was that easy for the usurper to buy the loyalty of his subjects.
* When Chat Noir notices Darkblade, the first thing he is happy about is that [[TemptingFate Marinette isn't caught in it]]. A caption box reading, "WRONG!" sells it.
* So why is Jagged Stone offering autographs to support Chloé's class president campaign?
-->'''Jagged:''' Pen, why '''''exactly''''' am I doing this?\\
'''Penny:''' Because [[NoodleIncident Fang ruined Bob's car]] and now you owe him a favor.\\
'''Jagged:''' '''''Heh''''', {{worth it}}.
** There's also his reaction to finding out one of his fans is [[GirlyGirl Rose]].
** Later, when Darkblade and his minions show up at city hall, [[ComicallyMissingThePoint Jagged somehow thinks that more of his fans have arrived and that he should go outside and play for them to give them what they want]]. Penny literally has to grab him by the arm to stop him.
--->'''Caption:''' I know you didn't want to be heree, Jagged, but you can't disassociate to the level of No Self Preservation.
* Sabrina's OhCrap expression when she falls victim to Marinette's booby-trapped diary
** She later makes many snide remarks when explaining what happened to Chloé:
--->'''Chloé:''' Finally! You '''''better''''' have her diary!\\
'''Sabrina:''' ''[holding out her right hand]'' Yeah, and a new '''bracelet'''!\\
'''Chloé:''' '''''What''''' is '''''that'''''?!\\
'''Sabrina:''' It snapped on my hand when I went for her diary!\\
'''Chloé:''' Oh, and what, you just expect me to '''''believe''''' that?\\
'''Sabrina:''' '''''Yeah''''', actually, I '''''do'''''!\\
'''Chloé:''' Are you giving me '''''attitude'''''?!\\
'''Tags:''' #idk why [[SelectiveObliviousness Chloé was doubting Sabrina when the evidence was LATCHED TO HER WRIST]]
** Sabrina [[AintTooProudToBeg wastes no time begging Marinette to take it back]] when the latter arrives, much to Chloé's ire.
* When confronting Darkblade, Chat asks if Scarlet Lady is ever going to do her job. Her reply is a ''blunt'' "Don't wanna." Then Darkblade [[BerserkButton pisses her off]] by calling her a peasant.
* Nathaniel doesn't buy Chloé's lie that her absence was because she was calling Scarlet Lady (to hide that she ''is'' Scarlet Lady), [[RightForTheWrongReasons but only because he figures no hero would hang out with Chloé]].
* Chloé is actually surprised that [[BribeBackfire her bribe didn't work]]. Apparently, [[DidntThinkThisThrough it never occurred to her that the classmates she regularly bullies might just take her free stuff and vote for Marinette anyway]]. She's then put in an uncomfortable spot after making an AccidentalPublicConfession:

[[folder:The Gamer: Tales of Max the Pro Gamer]]
* Alya tries to call Marinette out on allegedly only showing interest in the tournament to spend time with Adrien, insisting that representing the school is [[PunctuatedForEmphasis "Super. Serious!"]] Marinette snarks that Alya is getting pretty worked up over something she didn't even know about until five minutes ago.
* Kim sees how calm and collected Max after the crushing defeat handed to him and praises his friend for being so cool. A DescriptionCut then shows Max internally screaming.
* Another RunningGag: this time, people point out to Max that he lost to ''two'' people, not just Marinette.
* Chloé is actually rather annoyed by Sabrina texting her that Adrien will be competing in the video game tournament, proclaiming she doesn't ''need'' to play a video game to spend time with Adrien. Then Sabrina informs Chloé that Marinette is going to be Adrien's partner. That ''instantly'' infuriates Chloé, who immediately demands that her father get her driver.
* Tikki is her usual DeadpanSnarker self as she calls Chloé out. The flat expression she has at the end while her arms and legs are crossed just sell it.
-->'''Tikki:''' Chloé, this is ridiculous.\\
'''Chloé:''' '''''Me,''''' ridiculous?!\\
'''Tikki:''' You didn't even '''''care''''' about this until '''''Marinette''''' was involved!\\
'''Chloé:''' Of course I care! She's going to put her grubby paws '''''all over''''' poor '''''Adrien!'''''\\

* Adrien pushes Marinette out of the way and lands on top of her, with both of them blushing. Gamer is not amused that they aren't paying attention to him.
* Chloé's EpicFail at piloting the mecha.
* After Scarlet Lady thanks him for only going after Marinette while ignoring Adrien, Max has ScaryShinyGlasses as he walks away.

* A bonus panel reveals just what the "pigeon one" was--and that the pigeon in question was fully aware of the camera. WordOfGod later confirmed that the pigeon was also Jacques, whom Marinette introduced Alya to in "The Mime."
* When Chloé complains about the others paying attention to Juleka instead of her having a crisis, Adrien fires back by saying that her "crisis" is an oversized temper tantrum. Nino chuckles, and [[FunnyBackgroundEvent Sabrina looks like she's about to burst out laughing]].
* The class photo has Adrien shoving Chloé off of him while most of the class is looking at the commotion and Marinette is begging the photographer to wait.
* When Marinette comes up with the idea to make the picture disappear in order to get another one with Juleka in it, [[IncorruptiblePurePureness Rose]] [[ComicallyMissingThePoint doesn't understand how she is going to be make it disappear]] (she's going to steal it).
-->'''Marinette:''' Oh [[ShoutOut you sweet summer child]]. I shant corrupt you.
* When Chloé declares that she won't let her picture with Adrien be ruined, Sabrina snarkily reminds her that the picture shows Adrien ''pushing Chloé off of him''.
-->'''Chloé:''' ''[staring at Sabrina]'' '''''What''''' is '''''with''''' her?! Completely ridiculous.\\
'''Tikki:''' Came to her senses, if I had to guess.

* Upon learning about the akuma from Rose and Sabrina, Adrien tells them he'll try to call for help. Rose proclaims, "Good idea!" while Sabrina notes he's heading towards the bathroom.
* Chat Noir manages to get Reflekta's attention by taunting her... [[MissingStepsPlan only to realize he doesn't have a plan for what to do next]].
-->'''Chat Noir:''' ''[dodging Reflekta's attacks]'' So you've got her attention, '''''[[DidntThinkThisThrough now]]''''' what, Chat Noir?!\\
'''Caption:''' When you're suddenly in the distraction role but you're severely out of practice because you've been in the leadership role this whole time.
* Hawkmoth gets sassed by yet another akuma:
-->'''Hawkmoth:''' You should've taken his Miraculous!\\
'''Reflekta:''' Has anyone ever told you you're really annoying?\\
'''Hawkmoth:''' You have literally one job!
* When Chloé's confrontation with Marinette is interrupted by Reflekta, she bemoans that an akuma had to show up. You know, the same akuma that she intentionally tried to cause by locking Juleka in the bathroom.
* Marinette panics upon seeing Plagg and calls him a tiny cat-mouse, which is followed by Plagg saying he's had worse reactions.
* Marinette as Maotif pulls a BigDamnHeroes to save Scarlet Lady... who isn't exactly grateful:
-->'''Scarlet Lady:''' WHO ARE YOU!?\\
'''Maotif:''' Oh yeah, '''''[[TheLoad you]]''''' [[ThisIsGonnaSuck come with the job]].
* Adrien, of course, is not happy with Plagg picking a replacement... until he realizes just whom she is. ''Then'' he's fully on board.
* Scarlet Lady and Maotif [[ActuallyPrettyFunny both laugh]] when they see Chat Noir after he's been transformed to look like Reflekta.
* Reflekta's OhCrap face when she realizes Maotif is about to jump at her from behind is ''hilarious''.
* Adrien and Juleka can't help but snicker when Marinette sheepishly admits to having stolen the photographer's SD card; Juleka even calls her a "criminal cutie."
* Chloé proves to be so petty that she doesn't join the retake, claiming that she already has "her photo" (the one where she is being shoved off Adrien).
* When Alya complains that no one got to take a photo of Maotif, Juleka happily replies that she got a couple of selfies with the new heroine. [[FunnyBackgroundEvent The next panel has Juleka laughing and running away from Alya in the background]].

[[folder:Timebreaker: Tales of Alix the Skater]]
* Alim all but confirms (by way of SuspiciouslySpecificDenial) that the Kubdel tradition of giving the watch to the last child is something he made up just so [[CloudCuckooLander Jalil]] doesn't get the heirloom.
* Scarlet Lady doesn't even bother to fake putting effort towards stopping Timebreaker. She literally just goes onto a rooftop, thinking Timebreaker can't reach her up there. Marinette [[WhatTheHellHero calls the Ladybug heroine out]], declaring that she's filming Scarlet Lady ignoring the akuma and implying that unless the heroine acts, she'll ensure others get to enjoy that footage as well. Scarlet jumps down to yell at her and promptly gets tagged in the back. [[OhCrap Marinette's expression says it all]].
* When Chat Noir meets up with Past!Adrien, the former calling Scarlet Lady [[MaliciousMisnaming Scar]] confirms to the latter that he is the real deal. Past!Adrien then asks what a world without Scarlet Lady is like, and Chat bemoans tearfully that he never got to enjoy it.
* Scarlet Lady is angry with both Chats and says they will have to beg her to help. They both agree [[ThreatBackfire that it will be better if she stays out of the way]]. Later, one of them decides she will be useful as a distraction, Cataclysms her elevated perch, and dumps her into the fight. At that point, Marinette shows up with a better plan; the current Chat then grabs Scar's yo-yo while the future Chat uses the one he has, and together, they catch the akumas. Scar complains loudly about her yo-yo getting taken again.
* Marinette runs home when future Timebreaker and Chat Noir show up, not wanting to be caught up in an akuma attack for once. But after she's given Mrs. Chamack her cake, she just can't resist getting on a bike and riding back to the fight to help. Even funnier, the author [[ShrugOfGod refuses to confirm]] whether the bike was actually Marinette's or [[HeroStoleMyBike someone else's]].
* Kim mistakes being unable to dare people for the rest of the year as meaning the actual year and thinks that he doesn't have to wait too long because it's December. His face when Max tells him it's actually for the rest of the ''school year'' is hilarious.
* Sabine trying not to sound too angry about Mrs. Chamack's early arrival nearly ruining her and Tom's anniversary.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Simon Says: Tales of Simon the Hypnotist]]
* Mireille cheerfully notes that Alec does whatever Aurore asks (due to getting caught rigging the weather girl contest against her back in "Stormy Weather"). Aurore gives a small EvilLaugh in response.
-->'''Caption:''' Aurore owns this studio now.
* [[ComicallyMissingThePoint Chloé wants Adrien to appear on the show already]] despite the fact that (as Tikki points out) ''Nino'' is the one competing.
* Both Adrien and Nino have simultaneous OhCrap reactions when they hear that Simon is up against Gabriel Agreste, lamenting "Oh no, he's screwed." Marinette, who doesn't know Gabriel that well, blandly says, "Oh, it's your dad."
* As soon as Gabriel turns off the video call, he immediately runs off to transform, referencing how quickly he was apparently able to change between locations in canon.
* Nathalie's reaction to overhearing the deal between Hawkmoth and Simon is to think, "I do '''not''' get paid enough for this."
** Simon's reply to Hawkmoth's offer:
--->'''Simon Says:''' Simon says... yes.
** Chat Noir's response to Simon Says's introduction:
--->'''Chat Noir:''' Chat Noir says, shut up and gimme your cards!
* Chloé is actually motivated to go out and fight:
-->'''Chloé:''' [[SkewedPriorities I have to protect my Adrikins!]]\\
'''Tikki:''' But does he '''''want''''' your protection?
* In a sort of TwistedEchoCut, both top panels of episode 4 show a superhero attacking, with both exclaiming "Hyah!" In one, Chat Noir flips The Gorilla into an open elevator. In the other, Scarlet Lady kicks in a door to look for Adrien, to the astonishment of Marinette and Nino.
** In a moment of BlackComedy, Gorilla has a hilarious OhCrap expression as the elevator he's inside starts to plummet. Chat Noir does as well, even muttering, "... I'm sure he's fine..." in an attempt to convince himself. The author remarks in the tags, though, that Chat Noir probably just killed a man.
** When Marinette asks Scarlet Lady how she knew Adrien was down at the studio, her reply, "My love radar always knows" (she actually overheard Adrien saying he was going there at school), makes her look like a stalker. Not only that, but Marinette is actually RightForTheWrongReasons when she accuses the Ladybug heroine of stalking Adrien.
--->'''Caption:''' Pst, Scarlet, people don't know you're '''Chloe''', you're not ''[[SayingTooMuch supposed]]'' to have this insider information you creep!
* Seeing Adrien rushing up, Scarlet Lady charges forward with her eyes closed, saying, "I came, my Prince!" When he hugs Nino instead, she has a FallingIntoHisArms fail, crashing to the ground with AmusingInjuries and InstantBandages.
* On arrival at the Agreste mansion, Scarlet Lady initially thinks [[ComicallyMissingThePoint that she has been invited to hang out with Adrien in his room]]. When Gabriel asks, "Mme. Scarlet, are you not here to protect ''me''?" she scowls and curses to herself.
* Gabriel and Nino glaring at each other, clearly remembering their encounter on Adrien's birthday.
* Marinette and Nino debating who sucks more, [[AbusiveParents Gabriel]] or [[AlphaBitch Scarlet Lady]].
* Gabriel is... rather taken aback to learn that the supposed WorthyOpponent who impressed him with her sense of strategy during the Bubbler incident is in actuality shallow, egotistical, and bossy and thinks she'd be the ''perfect'' match for his son. Chat takes advantage of this to get a real zinger off at his unknowing father.
* Once again, Gabriel winds up winded when he rushes back to his secret lair to start giving Simon Says orders again.
* Scarlet Lady's incompetence leads to Nathalie, Nino, and Marinette being captured along with Gabriel and taken to the TV studio. While there, [[ActuallyPrettyFunny Nathalie has to stop herself from laughing out loud]] when Simon Says makes Gabriel act like a [[{{Irony}} butterfly]].
** Marinette sees Nathalie looking away (to hide her snorting) and tries to comfort the older woman, mistakenly thinking she's crying.
** As Nathalie starts showing off her fighting abilities, Nino bewilderingly asks, "What kind of assistant are you?"
-->'''Caption:''' Look Nino, when your boss is Gabriel -I-Make-A-Living-On-Being-An-Asshole- Agreste you learn how to defend yourself.
** When Gabriel is made to act like a plane, Nathalie just grabs him by his jacket and says "No."
* In the page 10 bonus, Gabriel asks Adrien if he's interested in Scarlet Lady:
-->'''Adrien:''' [[NoJustNoReaction Ew. No.]]\\
'''Gabriel:''' Oh, ''thank God.''
** The face Adrien makes deserves a mention all on its own.
** Gabriel's thoughts reveal he was actually hoping to use his son as a bargaining chip against the heroine and is disappointed that that option is no longer available. [[EvenEvilHasStandards He's still immensely relieved]] that Adrien isn't interested in the incompetent {{Nominal Hero}}ine, though.
--->'''Caption:''' [[SkewedPriorities Nice to know where the line is, Gabe.]]
* Adrien revealing how he convinced Gabriel to let him come to Nino's second appearance in the show: threatening to wear a T-shirt that says "Get [[{{Pun}} meowt]] of here" to a fashion show--with a cat [[FlippingTheBird throwing a double bird]].
-->'''Marinette:''' '''''Oh my god.'''''\\
'''Alya:''' The ultimate rebellion.
* Chloé learning about Adrien's thoughts on Scarlet Lady, as well as her reaction to it per WordOfGod.
-->'''Chloé:''' Adrihoney~! I heard you got visited by [[ButHeSoundsHandsome the amazing Scarlet Lady]].\\
'''Adrien:''' ''[yawning]'' Ugh, yeah, and I have the eyebags to prove it.\\
'''Chloé:''' Soooo? Isn't she ultra fab? Don't you just '''''love''''' her?\\
'''Adrien:''' [[NoJustNoReaction Ew. No.]]\\
'''Caption:''' This answer will be dutifully '''[[IRejectYourReality ignored]]''' on the basis that it wasn't the one Chloe wanted to hear.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Volpina: Tales of Lila the FOX]]
* Just like in the show, Lila has some ''hilarious'' reaction faces when something unexpected happens.
* In the header on the page, the title of the episode is written as "Lila The Liar" with liar being crossed out.
* The first page of the chapter, which features Lila's introduction to the class, is [[HashtagForLaughs tagged]] with [[WesternAnimation/SouthPark "#heeeeere she is the biggest liar in the uuuuniverse."]]
* When Lila is introducing herself, Adrien is passed out at his desk, drooling, while Nino pokes him with a pencil.
* Lila claiming she is best friends with Scarlet Lady impresses Alya, Rose, and Kim... while Marinette, Alix, and Nino (who've all had bad personal experiences with Scarlet Lady) all look utterly ''horrified''. They're even all standing right behind their new classmate, [[FailedASpotCheck not that she notices]].
* Both Adrien and Plagg have {{Cat Smile}}s when they notice Gabriel walking away from a safe.
* When Adrien and Plagg steal Gabriel's book, the author says Plagg probably came up with the saying about it being better to ask for forgiveness than permission.
* Instead of hiding in the library (as Marinette did in canon) to find out what Lila is up to, Chloé charges in and {{Glomp}}s onto Adrien. The author comments, "Chloé failed this stealth mission right away."
* Lila is noticeably struggling to maintain her "nice" demeanor when her attempt to invoke a CommonalityConnection with Adrien over their apparent love of superheroes gets shot down by [[JerkassHasAPoint Chloé, who proclaims to also adore superheroes, just like everyone else]].
-->'''Tags:''' #lol seriously lila in this day and age loving superheroes doesn't make you special
* Thanks to the Chloé's intervention in the conversation, Lila gets the idea that Adrien has a "soft spot" for Scarlet Lady and repeats the lie that she is the superheroine's friend [[SustainedMisunderstanding under the impression that this will endear her to Adrien]].
* Chloé is completely shocked when Tikki tells her she must follow Lila and Adrien (Tikki wants to get Adrien's book). She would've done it anyway but didn't expect Tikki to ''agree''.
* When Plagg tells Adrien that Lila stole Gabriel's book, it convinces Adrien that she really is friends with Scarlet Lady.
* Chloé refuses to touch the book after Tikki rescues it from a trash can out of disgust.
* Lila is called out about her lies, first by Adrien because "Scarlet Lady would '''never''' go out of her way to save '''anyone'''!" and then by Scar herself for claiming to be her best friend. The [[NominalHero "heroine"]] sends Lila into a fountain with a SpectacularSpinning move.
** Adrien's reaction to Scarlet Lady's arrival:
--->'''Adrien:''' [[SpeakOfTheDevil Dammit, we said her name too many times.]]
** Adrien [[ScrewThisImOutOfHere booking it]] as soon as Scarlet Lady begins to say how he can "thank" her.
* When Marinette gets the book and is looking through it, she notes that the Ladybug hero doesn't look like Scarlet Lady:
-->'''Marinette:''' So there ''is'' hope.
* Lila's response when Hawkmoth tells her that she can make Paris believe she is a hero?
-->'''Lila:''' Shouldn't be hard given the '''abysmal''' example they have to go off of!\\
'''Hawkmoth:''' Oh, I'm going to like you.
* Chat Noir reacts unfavorably when Volpina boasts that she's the only superheroine Paris needs.
-->'''Chat:''' [[ThisIsGonnaSuck Oh God, there's two of them. Another ego-maniac to make my job hard.]]
** The heroes' reactions when they notice "Hawkmoth":
-->'''Volpina:''' Hey, look, it's Hawkmoth.\\
'''Scarlet Lady:''' '''''Like I'm falling for that!'''''\\
'''Chat Noir:''' [[SymbolSwearing Holy #$%@]] it's Hawkmoth!\\
'''Scarlet Lady:''' '''''What?!'''''\\
'''Chat Noir:''' [[IveHeardOfThatWhatIsIt I mean I think so. We don't actually know what he looks like, so...]]
** Chat has a puzzled face when Volpina acts ''nice''. He then quickly realizes Volpina is Lila (though not that she's an akuma)... and as she and Scarlet Lady start shouting about who's in charge, [[ScrewThisImOuttaHere he bails on them]]. Both his annoyed look and Volpina's puzzled face are priceless.
* Volpina's face when she sees even Chat hates Scarlet Lady... and the latter's face when Volpina brings out the (illusionary) missiles and reveals herself as an akumatized villain.
* Volpina ''finally'' realizing [[SociopathicHero whom she's dealing with]]:
-->'''Volpina:''' [[EvenEvilHasStandards You really]] '''''[[EvenEvilHasStandards are]]''''' [[EvenEvilHasStandards a villain!]]\\
'''Caption:''' You're the only one who's surprised, Volpina.
* Adrien greets Volpina with a DeathGlare when the akuma shows up at his window immediately after he realizes that Lila threw his father's book away after she stole it rather than trying to return it.
* This exchange when Scarlet Lady notices Marinette in Adrien's room:
-->'''Scarlet Lady:''' Dupain-Cheng?! [[{{Hypocrite}} Why are you always where you aren't wanted!?]]\\
'''Marinette''' [[DeadpanSnarker I could say the same to you]].
* [[BondingOverDislikes When Volpina finds out that Marinette hates Scarlet Lady, too]], she grips Marinette's hands and stares at her with [[WingdingEyes starry eyes]].
-->'''Caption:''' Is this the Lilanette you were asking for?
* Marinette isn't exactly happy when Volpina grabs her hands:
-->'''Marinette:''' ''[{{sweatdrop}}ping]'' I'm not helping you. I hate Hawkmoth more.
* Scarlet Lady and Volpina both fighting over Adrien, to the point where he orders all three girls out of his room...causing the two "heroes" to [[NeverMyFault start blaming each other]].
-->'''Adrien:''' If everyone could leave, that'd be great!
** Adrien later hopes he didn't offend Marinette. Plagg says, "Just tell her it's one of your 'stress showers'."
* Chat's [[YouHaveGotToBeKiddingMe reaction]] to Volpina taking an illusion of Adrien hostage. Meanwhile, [[ScrewThisImOuttaHere Marinette just leaves]] while [[FantasticallyIndifferent nonchalantly telling Nathalie that Adrien was abducted by an akuma]].
* Volpina learns the hard way that not even using ''Adrien'' as a hostage changes the way Scarlet responds... or rather, it doesn't change it in the akuma's favor.
-->'''Volpina:''' ''[dangling Illusion!Adrien by his wrist]'' Give me your Miraculous or '''''else!'''''\\
'''Scarlet:''' ''[grinning evilly]'' '''''Do it.'''''\\
'''Volpina:''' '''''Gawd, what is wrong with you?!'''''
* The way Volpina is defeated. Not seeing how the Lucky Charm can help, Scarlet Lady decides to use the wrapping to improve her tan and ends up blinding Volpina by ''[[AccidentalHero accident]]''.
* After having one last shouting match with Scarlet Lady, Lila leaves... and Chat wonders one thing:
-->'''Chat Noir:''' ... How does she plan on getting down?
** Gets even better when the final panel shows she did indeed get down and even go home... but we don't know ''how''.
** The tags do providea partial explanation, though:
--->'''Tags:''' #Lila's using the elevator of spite to get down #but mostly just the elevator
* Adrien using Agreste Manor's security system to keep Scarlet Lady out. The fic's author comments, "Finally that security system came in handy."
[[/folder]]
[[folder:The Collector: Tales of Gabriel the TOP SECRET]]
* Gabriel's description in the episode's title is covered with TOP SECRET.
* When Master Fu presents himself as the one who gave Adrien the Miraculous, Adrien immediately guesses he also gave the earrings to Scarlet Lady... and is more than ready to ''hit him'' for that. Fu has to quickly tell him she wasn't his intended candidate before Adrien follows through on it.
* Fu explains that the book contains recipes for spells and power ups... that will have to be shared with Scarlet Lady:
-->'''Adrien:''' You mean I have to share power-ups with ''Scar''?\\
'''Fu:''' My condolences.
* Master Fu tells Adrien he always suspected that whoever had the Grimoire also had the Butterfly and the Peacock Miraculous and asks Adrien where he got the book from. It becomes awkward when Adrien says it was from his father.
* When Adrien comes back home, his father finds out he took the Grimoire and decides to pull Adrien out of school as punishment. Adrien, however, counters that if his father does, he'll tell his friends--one of whom has personal ties to Nadja Chamack, a news reporter--which in turn could become a PR disaster for Gabriel doing so over what would seem like a trivial matter. Gabriel awkwardly backpedals on the punishment.
-->'''Gabriel:''' You're... grounded? For a month?\\
'''Adrien:''' Better. [[DamnedByFaintPraise You almost sound like a parent.]]
* Chloé ComicalOverreacting to the news that Adrien is grounded. [[ComicallyMissingThePoint She thinks it means he'll never come back to school]], and her tears cause her mascara to run all down her face. (The author notes that she doesn't know what being "grounded" means.) Moreover, Adrien is in trouble because his father's book was lost... the same book Chloé ''could'' have retrieved but didn't because it had been in a trash can.
* Nathalie's [[YouHaveGotToBeKiddingMe reaction]] to being attacked by The Collector:
-->'''Nathalie:''' M. Agreste... the [[SymbolSwearing #$%@]].\\
'''The Collector:''' ''[with sparkles around his words]'' Call me The Collector!\\
'''Nathalie:''' I'm going to hit you when you lose.
** Later, with perfect comedic timing, [[BrickJoke Nathalie hits Gabriel after he's been defeated]]. For added hilarity, this ruins the ominous vibe he was going for when he stated he was looking forward to seeing Chat Noir again soon.
** Also note that Nathalie said WHEN he loses. She already knows the heroes triumphing over her akumatized boss is a ForegoneConclusion.
* Upon discovering that Adrien's escaped, Gabriel complains, "What's the point of grounding my son if he's ''not here'' when I attack him as an akuma?!"
* Scar's SkewedPriorities are on full display as she ponders the concept of Gabriel being Hawkmoth:
-->'''Scarlet:''' ''[thinking seriously] If I defeat Hawkmoth, then my reign as Scarlet Lady is over! I'd only be celebrated for a few months after!''\\
'''Chat:''' He fits the profile: total recluse, financially stable, a total d**k, you're not listening...\\
'''Scarlet:''' ''[beaming with anticipation]'' ''But then I'd get to comfort my poor, lonely Adrien!''\\
'''Chat:''' You know, [[NoPokerFace your poker face sucks]].
* Chat Noir and Scarlet Lady see the mess Gabriel has left in his office:
-->'''Scarlet:''' Ugh, '''someone''' threw a temper tantrum.\\
'''Chat:''' You '''would''' know exactly what that looks like.\\
'''Scarlet:''' What'd you say?!
* When The Collector arrives, Scarlet immediately summons her Lucky Charm, only to reveal that she has no clue what a ''bike pedal'' is. Meanwhile, The Collector's visibly annoyed at being ignored.
-->'''The Collector:''' Why do I even bother with my evil monologues?\\
'''Caption:''' He worked on that speech for '''days''', guys!
* Scarlet sends her yo-yo at The Collector, yelling "Take this!" He says, [[ThreatBackfire "Thanks, I will!"]] and, in a VisualPun, he uses his book to capture it.
* Scarlet Lady manages to use the bike pedal... by whacking The Collector with it. The author quips, "Scarlet has fully embraced the [[CuttingTheKnot Brute Force It]] methodology when it comes to Lucky Charms." Ironically, this is one of the few times she actually ''directly does her job''.
* After The Collector is defeated and Chat Noir tells Gabriel that his son is safe. Chat Noir promptly grabs Scarlet Lady on his way out as he does, with her once again complaining all the while.
* Marinette goes to Lila's home to give her notes on what she missed that day. HilarityEnsues:
** Lila's mom, whom the author flat-out admits she considers TheDitz. And it shows.
** When Marinette tries to pass her the notes, Lila says she's not coming back after Scarlet Lady humiliated her like that. The exchange that follows is a hilarious MythologyGag to Lila's antics in canon:
--->'''Marinette:''' So you're running away? You think you can trick your mom and miss a whole year of school?\\
'''Lila:''' ''[doing a '''crazy''' face]'' You underestimate my power.
** When Lila explains she can't come back because Scarlet Lady has humiliated her and everyone loves the heroine, Marinette makes a priceless disgusted face as she replies "Yeah, no, Scarlet Lady ''sucks''."
* When Adrien returns to school, Chloé rushes at him and has another FallingIntoHisArms fail when he goes for Marinette instead.
* Nathalie gets in one more [[ServileSnarker servile snark]] at Gabriel. He defends akumatizing himself over the lost book even though he had made a copy, saying, "I did what was necessary to protect my secret." Nathalie sarcastically replies, "You're truly the picture of subtlety, sir" (after he has gone down the trapdoor to his lair and can't hear her).
* Alix becomes Lila's friend, but Lila finds her attention "relentless" when Alix repeatedly texts her and tries to get her to go to Marinette's birthday party. It seems Lila will have to get used to having real friends who accept her as she is rather than followers she can manipulate with lies.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:La Befana: Tales of Gina the Witch]]
* When Chloé wants to find out what her classmates are planning, they refuse to tell her and she whines to Mme. Bustier, who forces them to include her. She's then dismayed to learn they're planning Marinette's birthday party.
* In the bonus image, after learning that Chloé got invited, Alya tells Sabrina that she is now the "Chloé wrangler" for the party. Sabrina instantly accepts with [[TheComicallySerious comical seriousness]].
* Tikki changes from being worried that Chloé will try to ruin Marinette's party to jealous that Marinette once used Plagg's Miraculous to excited when Plagg offers her the hair he saved from the time Marinette was Maotif so quickly Plagg can't keep up with her.
* Tom Dupain does the BumblingDad thing, getting flustered and throwing Marinette's birthday cake into the trash so she doesn't see it when she rushes downstairs to answer the doorbell. Sabine quickly agrees to Gina taking Marinette out of the house, telling Tom, "After all, we have to remake the cake."
* Chloé does some [[PokeThePoodle petty mischief]] to try to ruin Marinette's party--throwing her presents in a bush and unplugging the music system. Chloé congratulates herself on how much trouble she is causing, not knowing that her "wrangler," Sabrina, is following her and undoing everything she does. The [[TheComicallySerious utterly bored expression]] Sabrina sports sells it.
* Hawkmoth akumatizing Gina in a bonus page. As the caption under the page says, "Don't akumatize out of towners! They don't know your deal!"
-->'''Hawkmoth:''' Befana, I am Hawkmoth.\\
'''La Befana:''' Who?\\
'''Hawkmoth:''' The...the guy who makes akumas? Is in constant pursuit of the Ladybug earrings and Cat ring?\\
'''La Befana:''' What?
* Marinette when she notices Chloé at the party. She then gets in a zinger on the unwanted birthday guest:
-->'''Marinette:''' '''''Why's Chloé here?'''''\\
'''Chloé:''' I was invited--\\
'''Other classmate:'''[[note]]It's unknown who it was[[/note]] Bustier made us.\\
'''Marinette:''' So, where's your gift, Chloé?\\
'''Chloé:''' Um, the gift of my presence, obvi.\\
'''Marinette:''' I want the receipt.
* When La Befana crashes the party and attacks Marinette, she declares that she's going to punish her for lying about eating her candy. Marinette complains about how it's the ''one thing'' she lied about ''purely'' to spare Gina's feelings.
* A [[https://zoe-oneesama.tumblr.com/post/634711255677091840/gina-if-you-wait-five-more-minutes-youd-have-been bonus panel]] shows Lila [[https://64.media.tumblr.com/e5bf02fe6089b7f1d4bdbceffa4ddb4b/e0aae3045341eb9e-b9/s500x750/0b00dc687805cb21e26fbd117aa2d8df1af2e3cb.png watching]] the chaos unfold from her window, quietly horrified. The narration notes that her decision to stay home might have been the right call after all.
* Chloé baffles La Befana's moral judgement with ThePowerOfApathy, unwittingly saving herself from being turned into coal or a fairy:
-->'''La Befana:''' Will you protect Marinetta? Or punish her?!\\
'''Chloé:''' I don't care.\\
'''La Befana:''' Um, what? What does that mean? Coal? Fairy?\\
'''Chloé:''' ''[pointing at Marinette]'' She's getting away, you know.
* What actually gets Chloé to go after La Befana? [[TakenForGranite The akuma turning]] [[ItsAllAboutMe Chloé's driver]] [[TakenForGranite to stone]].
* Marinette's little meltdown is just as adorable as it is funny.
* Chat Noir tries to hide Marinette from La Befana but realizes that Scarlet Lady led the villainess right to her granddaughter. Chat Noir's fury while Scargives a DefensiveWhat makes it priceless.
* Scarlet Lady decides to use the Lucky Charm when La Befana tells her "Cowardly bugs get coal, Scarlet Brat."
* While La Befana turning Marinette into coal is not funny, an [[BerserkButton outraged]] Chat Noir putting the Lucky Charm in form of a tuba over her head certainly is. He is so utterly furious that even Scar is intimidated enough to listen to him.
-->'''Caption:''' [[WebVideo/DragonBallZAbridged You pushed the Marinette button, you shouldn't have pushed the Marinette button]].
* Chloé, who forced her classmates to invite her, complains about Lila being invited.
* Lila's present is a mask she wants to get rid of because it reminds her of Scarlet Lady.
-->'''Caption:''' You've heard of Liar Rossi, now get ready for [[BrutalHonesty No Filter]] Rossi!
* Lila apologizes for her {{Celebrity Lie}}s and is surprised when she's EasilyForgiven by most of the class. She then nervously laughs when [[ObliviousGuiltSlinging Kim reassures her that it's not like she tried to trick them into doing her homework or carrying her things for her]]; she knows she would've done just that had she not been caught.
-->'''Lila:''' HAHAHAHA! Yeah, who would do that?!\\
'''Lila:''' ''[thinking, in a sweat]'' ''They can never know...''
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Kung Food: Tales of Wang Cheng the Chef]]
* The chapter titles together form a HurricaneOfPuns about food: "Let's Taco Bout It," "Lettuce Work Together," "Romaine Calm," "In Queso Didn't Know," "Don't Cry Over Spilled Milk," "Cake It Easy," "Don't Clam Up!," "Once in a Melon," "You're The Wurst," "Brie It On," "You Make Miso Happy," "The Pesto's Yet To Come," and "Camembert To Brie Apart."
* Marinette does some ComicalOverreacting when Cheng Shifu tears off some petals from the flowers she gave him (from the canon episode, we know he wants to use the petals as a soup ingredient).
* Adrien jumps at the chance to help Marinette using his Mandarin skills and quickly arrives at her house after getting a call from Alya. [[BlatantLies He says he was in the neighborhood]], but the narration reveals he "ran right over," which is evident from his huffing and sweating.
* When she realizes that Cheng Shifu speaks French, Marinette pouts.
* Both Marinette and Adrien are surprised when Mayor Bourgeois speaks to Cheng Shifu with almost JapanesePoliteness. The author notes, "TFW the local asshole's father is respectful and it knocks you off balance."
* Adrien's reaction when Chloé asks him to intervene in a conversation between her and Marinette:
-->'''Chloé:''' So it's '''''your''''' Uncle competing, Marinette Dupain-Cheng? Only a loser would try to compete with soup! As a judge, I'll be sure to fail him.\\
'''Marinette:''' Well, it's a good thing there are 4 other judges with better taste than you!\\
'''Chloé:''' Hey! Adrien, are you gonna let her talk to me like that?!\\
'''Adrien:''' Did she say something wrong?\\
'''Chloé:''' Ugh! You're gonna regret this!
* After Adrien explains that Cheng plans to use the flowers in his soup, he asks who wouldn't love Marinette. Her response?
-->'''Marinette:''' [[RhetoricalQuestionBlunder Uh, Chloé, Scarlet Lady, jury's still out on your dad...]]\\
'''Adrien:''' I meant people with '''''taste.'''''
* When Cheng explains that his soup was sabotaged, he wonders who would do something. Both Adrien and Marinette instantly realize it was Chloé.
* When Hawkmoth akumatizes Cheng, he's frustrated at the fact he has to explain himself to ''another'' foreigner.
* Tikki's reaction when she realizes that Chloé left her behind.
* Chloé is so distracted by her phone call, [[FailedASpotCheck she doesn't notice Kung Food's slaves approaching her]].
* While hanging on a rope over boiling soup, Chloé [[NeverMyFault insists that she has done absolutely nothing to deserve this]] and [[SkewedPriorities worries that her hair is going to smell]].
* When Kung Food sends out his minions to find Marinette and Chat Noir, Jagged Stone pulls off a Naruto Run.
* When fighting Jagged Stone (who's wielding a seafood club), Chat Noir makes such a horrible pun that [[LamePunReaction Marinette can't help but comment on it]].
-->'''Chat Noir:''' This [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scampi scampi]] happening!\\
'''Marinette:''' ''[with SweatDrop]'' Chat, oh my gawd.
* Marinette pulls a variation of DoorJudo on Jagged Stone. She yells, "Hey Jagged Stone! I think [[BerserkButton XY]] is more rock n' roll than you!" When he charges at her, she dodges, pulling open the closet door behind her. Due to going TooFastToStop, Jagged falls inside the closet, allowing Chat Noir to lock him in with a chair.
** Chat Noir and Marinette casually fist-bumping each other as the former slides the chair in place just seals it.
** A tagline also mentions what Marinette apparently did afterwards offscreen:
--->'''Tags:''' #Marinette stops to wash her mouth out with soap for slandering Jagged Stone like that
* Instead of the cold reply that canon Ladybug made to Chat Noir's [[TerriblePickUpLines lame pick-up line]] in the elevator, "We could go places," Marinette blushes and babbles--which makes Chat Noir blush as well.
-->'''Caption:''' Anime didn't prepare him for when the flirting [[AchievementsInIgnorance WORKS!]]
** Embarrassed Marinette is grateful for the MomentKiller when the elevator suddenly stops, thinking, "Oh thank God!"
* The mayor is CaughtMonologuing and gets an [[KilledMidSentence instant KO from Chat Noir]].
** Kung Food calls him an idiot and useless; Chloé agrees.
** A tagline for the page where the mayor is caught monologuing suggests this to be "why The Mime was actually formidable."
* Chloé is scared of falling into the boiling hot soup beneath her... as [[ComicallyMissingThePoint it will ruin her hair]].
-->'''Tikki:''' [[DumbassHasAPoint You]] '''''[[DumbassHasAPoint almost]]''''' [[DumbassHasAPoint have a point there]].
* When Kung Food starts sending his minions, Hawkmoth warns him to take down Chat Noir before attacking Marinette since "Attacking the girl never ends well." Later, Alec makes her eyes sting with smelly cheese... which makes Chat Noir ''goes berserk'' on him and Marlena while Hawkmoth {{Facepalm}}s and laments, [[IWarnedYou "Dammit, what did I tell you?"]] The caption sums it up perfectly:
--->'''Marinette:''' Gets some dust in her eyes.\\
'''Chat Noir:''' YOU MOTHER-!
* As a funny EasterEgg, every time the front of Kung Food's shirt is shown, there is a different face emoji on it.
* When Chat Noir rescues Chloé from Kung Food, she starts to [[ComplainingAboutRescuesTheyDontLike complain immediately]]. The annoyed Chat Noir just cuts her short, and Chloé then declares that she will put "him" in his place. Tikki wonders if she means Kung Food or Chat Noir.
* Chloé is finally able to transform, and she confidently invokes "Lucky Charm." Kung Food then produces a {{BFS}} made of pepperoni pizza, scaring her so much that she lets the Lucky Charm hit her on the head.
* Marinette manages to subdue Wang Cheng long enough for Chat Noir to hit him with a Cataclysm and free the corrupted akuma, much to Scarlet Lady's chagrin.
-->'''Scarlet Lady:''' I could've done that!\\
'''Marinette:''' Then why '''''didn't''''' you?
* At the end, Wang Cheng is given another chance for his entry. When Chloé tries to ruin the mood, Adrien points out that she was kicked off the jury by her father. [[BlatantLies She tries to save face by claiming she resigned]], but Adrien points to the camera in the kitchen, showing that Chloé didn't think that the place was being monitored and that she couldn't talk her way out of it this time since she was [[CaughtOnTape caught in the act]]. Chloé can only give a flustered response to all of this. Even the caption calls her out on her stupidity.
-->'''Caption:''' How can you forget CAMERAS exist?!
* There's quite a bit of DramaticIrony when Adrien tells Master Fu about the fight. Fu notes how it's strange that Scarlet Lady didn't show up to save Chloé despite claiming to be her best friend, but Adrien just dismisses the whole thing because both Chloé and Scarlet Lady are liars.
-->'''Tags:''' #Fu's trying to have valid points Adrien stop shutting them down!
** Also, the caption indicates that Adrien is doing this because he'd rather talk about Marinette.
** There's also humor in the DramaticIrony of Adrien being RightForTheWrongReasons: Sacrlet Lady did lie about [[FriendOfMaskedSelf being best friends with Chloé]] because they're actually the same person.

[[folder:Evillustrator: Tales of Nathaniel the Artist]]
* The Marinette in Nathaniel's comic-book fantasy says, "You're amazing and [[OutOfCharacter totally write me completely in character]]."
* Adrien's DeathGlare when Chloé shows Nathaniel's drawings to the class and exposes the latter's crush on Marinette. He even manages to crush a pen with his bare hands, much to Nino's shock.
--->'''Caption:''' I guess Adrien could afford to break a tablet pen like it's nothing.
* Hawkmoth lampshades how [[BreakingTheFourthWall early in the episode]] Nathaniel is akumatized. He also notes how the latter has "a Chloé Bourgeois grudge" and says that they make things fun for him.
* When Sabrina and Marinette ask Chloé why exactly she'll be too busy to work on their project, Chloé claims it's none of their business. The next panel shows her looking up Scarlet Lady pictures.
* Evillustrator attacks Chloé with a giant hair dryer. Chloé cries, "Aahhhh no! Mercy! Not my hair!"
** There's also a small picture of Sabrina's head showing her [[NoSympathy smugly reacting to Chloé's plight with a satisfied, "Ha!"]]
** Marinette and Sabrina decide to just head to the former's house and [[ScrewThisImOuttaHere leave Chloé to her own devices]].
* Chat Noir arrives and annoys Evillustrator with his puns, [[ScrewThisImOuttaHere making the akuma leave]].
* Chloé tries to make Chat do her homework for her, and when he refuses, she tells him he should leave if he won't do anything useful. [[ThreatBackfire So he does.]]
* After Marinette agrees to go on a date with Evillustrator, Sabrina asks her what she's going to do about it. Marinette says she'll have to find a way to let Chat Noir know about it, only for Chat to ''[[AndHereHeComesNow immediately]]'' show up and ask in a panic if she's alright, having seen the akuma leave through her window.
-->'''Caption:''' Well, it all worked out in the end.
* Sabrina is [[{{Fangirl}} beside herself]] that she gets to meet Chat Noir and that he remembers her name (not knowing he probably wouldn't if she weren't his classmate).
* Sabrina tells Marinette that her first day without Chloé was amazing. This causes Chloé to [[SneezeCut sneeze]]. It gets even better when an unamused Chloé has to do her work herself.
* Marinette dresses up for the date, including wearing her hair in braids rather than pigtails. Chat Noir feels ''extremely'' envious, saying to himself that she's wasting that look on the akuma.
* Evillustrator says that he always keeps his promises (in this case, he agreed he wouldn't hurt Chloé if Marinette went out with him). This is followed by a DescriptionCut to Alix, who is annoyed that Nathaniel has seemingly abandoned their plans to hang out on his birthday.
* Marinette's reaction to Evillustrator claiming that she is just like Chloé. The villain is terrified.
* Marinette bemoans her moral dilemma of whether to continue helping Chat Noir (and thus break her promise and make him worry) or leaving him to depend on a useless partner. Master Fu offers to walk her home, clearly ready to offer her a Miraculous, but she says, "Excuse me, I'm not done spiraling."
* A page of RapidFireComedy when Evillustrator goes after Chloé:
** Tikki [[DeadpanSnarker snarks]] about Chloé's terrible "traumatized by hair dryers" excuse for not doing her homework, with Chloé agreeing [[SkewedPriorities since "hairdryers can't dull my beauty"]] ([[ComicallyMissingThePoint rather than how lame the excuse is]]).
** Tikki and Chloé find out Evillustrator broke into the hotel [[MundaneUtility by having the Kwami to phase through the wall to check what's happening on the other side]]. [[HereWeGoAgain The two are exasperated more than anything else about having to fight yet another akuma.]]
** Scarlet [[BlatantLies boasts how she'd never let her]] [[ButHeSoundsHandsome "good friend" Chloé]] come to harm, only for Chat Noir to [[WhatTheHellHero not so subtly remind her]] [[ContinuityNod of how she nearly "let" Chloé be made into Kung Food's soup]], [[DramaticIrony not knowing]] that [[BruceWayneHeldHostage Chloé IS Scarlet Lady]].
* Chat Noir growls and glares at Evillustrator [[AwesomenessIsAForce hard enough to make him flinch]], then [[OneHitKill KO]]'s him with a hard throw of the small bouncy ball that Scarlet Lady gets as a Lucky Charm. As the author notes, Evillustrator "shouldn't have pushed the [[BerserkButton Marinette button]]."
* The next day, Marinette gets startled by Adrien's sudden appearance when she closes her locker and asks him if he was hiding in one of the other lockers just so he could surprise her like that. He nervously denies it, making her realize that he really was.
* Marinette's over-the-top expressions when she tells Adrien about her promise not to get involved in akuma fights anymore, which means she's forced to leave Chat Noir to rely on Scarlet Lady, who is "the worst."
* Nathaniel then gets startled ''twice'', first by Sabrina, then by Alix.
* Alix is initially annoyed that Nathaniel ditched their plans for his birthday and ignored her texts. Then he tells her why he abandoned her yesterday...
-->'''Alix:''' ''[[[EasilyForgiven fist-bumping Nathaniel]]]'' [[SeenItAll Welcome to the birthday akuma club!]]\\
'''Sabrina:''' ''[{{sweatdrops}}s]'' You guys need therapy.\\
'''Caption:''' Everybody needs therapy U_U
* Master Fu briefly considers giving Marinette the Ox, but he says it "may be hard for a teenager to hide." Marinette is lucky, because the jewelry for the Ox Kwami Stompp is a nose ring.
* When Master Fu is deciding which Miraculous to give Marinette, Wayzz asks him [[OnceDoneNeverForgotten if he's going to put it in her purse again]]. Fu [[BigNo quickly denies that]].

!!Season 3
[[folder:Vanisher: Tales of Sabrina the Invisible]]
* When Chloé wakes up to her cell phone alarm, she starts complaining about how the butler should have woken her up earlier. The lurking Vanisher (assuming Chloé is [[ThinkingOutLoud talking to herself]]) thinks "She sure likes the sound of her own voice." Though Chloé does talk to herself a lot, in this case, she is probably speaking to Tikki.
* The casual way the other students take the disappearance of Chloé (with Lila laughing and saying the mocking pictures on the board are telling the truth) contrasts with the [[AndIMustScream horrifying situation]] Chloé is actually in. She's at the mercy of Vanisher, is completely helpless, can't open doors, and won't even be able to eat or drink anything unless the akuma provides it. Sinc she and the earrings are in one dimension while Tikki is in another, there's no transformation or WorldHealingWave available. The situation, some might say, CrossesTheLineTwice.
* Chloé has true ComedicSociopathy. She [[NeverMyFault never admits fault]] even when an angry akuma has pushed her down and has a sharp foot pointed at her chest.
-->'''Vanisher:''' ...You're the one who messed up, '''remember'''?\\
'''Chloé:''' Impossible. I '''never''' mess up!
* The flashback to the day before: Chloé and Sabrina are about to have lunch when Chloé notices Jagged Stone is at the hotel and being interviewed by Nadja Chamak. First, Jagged [[ThisIsGonnaSuck isn't very happy]] when Chloé notices him. Secondly, Chloé starts going on about how she and Scarlet Lady are best friends who hung out yesterday in the hopes of getting an interview herself, only for Sabrina to point out that ''she'' is Chloé's best friend and that they were actually working on their school project yesterday. Chloé glares at Sabrina each time, with the comic using ''the exact same panel''.
* Jagged calls Chloé "the little psycho who almost poisoned me." He is not amused. Nadja thinks, "What a scoop! Isn't that the mayor's daughter!?"
* Chloé seems to have forgotten her situation as she runs around calling, "Daddy, I'm right here, pay attention to me!" and "Everyone, stop ignoring me!" The author adds, "Just a crumb of attention." This is really getting to her where she lives.
* In practically the same breath as calling for his missing daughter, the mayor adds, "And all your clothes!? They were expensive!"
* [[https://zoe-oneesama.tumblr.com/post/642952118414770176/may-we-please-get-a-close-up-of-plagg-in-that-last Plagg's face]] when he eats the cheese Adrien gave him.
* Adrien crosses his RageBreakingPoint and flies into a rage after hearing that Scarlet Lady won't be coming for the ''third time in a row''. It ends with him curled up in a TroubledFetalPosition.
* Master Fu tells Tikki to go with Chat Noir to help stop the akuma but warns her to only use the WorldHealingWave and not Lucky Charm. While Adrien is questioning this, Tikki has an ImagineSpot of Chat Noir being buried under ''countless'' ladybug-patterned items. [[FreezeFrameBonus If you carefully check,]] [[ContinuityNod most of the items in the pile are ones that Scarlet Lady has previously summoned]].
* The fact that Chloé ''still'' hasn't stopped shouting at people despite knowing that no one can hear her.
* There's something oddly humorous about [[BigGood Master Fu]] [[RefugeInAudacity walking through the front door of the Dupain-Cheng bakery]] [[TheCallKnowsWhereYouLive to make sure that Marinette gets the Miraculous this time]] [[TaughtByExperience to make sure nothing goes wrong]].
* Chloé's increasing desperation to have ''someone'' [[AttentionWhore pay attention to her]].
* Marinette gets surprised by another Kwami.
* Pollen gives a little giggle when Marinette asks if she can help Chat Noir and a little hum when Marinette asks for instructions.
* [[MassOhCrap Everyone]] having a genuine FreakOut about [[BigDamnHeroes Marigold's]] [[BigEntrance grand debut]]. It becomes even funnier when you think about their (escalating) reasons:
** Vanisher: She genuinely DidntSeeThatComing, [[CripplingOverspecialization having only prepared for Chat Noir and (possibly) Scarlet Lady]], unaware [[BruceWayneHeldHostage she already had the latter at her mercy]].
** Chat Noir: He's probably concerned that he, [[RuleOfThree yet]] [[ContinuityNod again]], [[ThisIsGonnaSuck might have to deal with]] '''ANOTHER''' [[GloryHound obnoxious female teenager]] [[FakeUltimateHero "pretending to be a heroine"]] (unaware that this one ACTUALLY has Paris and [[BattleCouple especially HIS]] [[ViolentlyProtectiveGirlfriend best interests at heart]]).
** Tikki: Aside from also [[DidntSeeThatComing not seeing that coming]], once she learns Marigold's secret identity, she'll have to deal with being yet again [[BreakTheCutie denied Marinette by fate]].
** Chloé: She is [[HateAtFirstSight absolutely livid]] that [[ItsAllAboutMe there's another superheroine in Paris]], [[SpotlightStealingSquad threatening to steal her spotlight]].
** Hawkmoth: An AtomicFBomb marks the beginnings of an episode-long VillainousBreakdown; [[CrossesTheLineTwice he even gets]] [[EvenEvilHasStandards scolded by Nathalie for swearing while psychically linked to a child]].
* Without Scarlet Lady to do it, how does the akuma get purified? Tikki ''eats'' it and then ''spits out'' the Miraculous Cure.
** Tikki trying to say "Miraculous Ladybug" with an akuma in her mouth. It sounded like "Mwaculush... Bladybub!" Marigold and Chat Noir are shocked by Tikki ''spitting out'' the Miraculous Cure.
** It becomes even funnier when reading the author's notes. They note that the heroes are ''plastered against the windows'' because Tikki created so many magical ladybugs for the cure that it fills the building almost to bursting. This is the promised negative consequence of doing the cure without her holder.
* Chloé gets a put-down as Sabrina finally rejects her:
-->'''Chloé:''' You're such a wuss you became an akuma and attacked your '''''best friend'''''!\\
'''Sabrina:''' You are '''''[[FormerFriendOfAlphaBitch not]]''''' [[WeUsedToBeFriends my friend]].\\
'''Chloé:''' Excuse you, '''''[[ComicallyMissingThePoint I]]''''' [[ComicallyMissingThePoint am the one breaking up with]] '''''[[ComicallyMissingThePoint you]]'''''!\\
'''Sabrina:''' Either way, we're not friends, '''stupid'''!
* Hawkmoth rants at how much harder things will be for him now that the heroes have "a bee with a one-hit K.O.?!"
* Chat Noir suggests "New-Bee" as a PunnyName for the Bee heroine, but she takes the name "Marigold" for the flowers she used against Vanisher.
* Marigold has an ExpressiveAccessory: when Chat Noir doesn't respond as warmly as she'd hoped, the hair ribbons on each side of her head droop in disappointment.
* Pollen enthusiastically endorses the name choice of "Marigold," saying it's the "Herb of the Sun," representing "passion and creativity" and also "cruelty and grief--traits often associated with revered queens." Marinette finds this a little off-putting.
* Tikki's use of the Miraculous Cure leaves her with a stomach ache well after the action is over.
* Marinette gets a visit from Chat Noir after the battle. When she says that they were lucky the new Bee heroine showed up, he responds, "I guess." She gets a little anime-style "JAB" arrow to the head from this and then has a ComicalAngryFace with CrossPoppingVeins as she asks, "Something wrong with the new girl, Chat Noir?" She does calms down when he explains that he has trouble trusting other heroes after Scarlet Lady and Volpina, though.
-->'''Caption:''' Came real close to being punched out on my balcony, Noir.
* Marinette offers Pollen a sugarcube while asking what the Kwami likes to eat, thinking it'll be somethin glike sugar, honey, or flower pollen. She gets BlankWhiteEyes of shock when Pollen reveals that her favorite food is ''chili peppers'' instead. They would be hard for Marinette to get from the bakery, but the author says, "... since Marinette is into gardening (she's got those rose bushes on her balcony) she's fine with having a little chili pepper plant just for Pollen."
* Chloé gets a taste of her own medicine--when she makes her dramatic return to school, nobody cares, all of them busy talking about Marigold. The only question Chloé is asked, by Alya, is, "Got any info on the new heroine?" Chloé replies, "NO! Who cares about her?!"
* The difference between Adrien and Marinette hiding their identities: Marinette stays up all night making resin-cast bee accessories to hand out to her friends, claiming she was inspired by Marigold, so that it looks like the Bee Miraculous is [[NeedleInAStackOfNeedles just one more item out of that batch]]. When Nino notices Adrien's ring, Adrien [[BlatantLies just lies]] and says he's had it for years.
* Marinette kindly asks Lila which accessory she would like, not noticing Adrien and Alya's {{Death Glare}}s behind her (as the two are still mad at Lila for stealing the book and lying about being friends with Scarlet Lady on the ''Ladyblog'', respectively). Lila nervously tells Marinette that any one is alright.
* Chloé apparently thinks she's such a target because all the akumas are ''[[YoureJustJealous jealous]]'' of her; Tikki snarks that that's probably not the problem.
* Chloé [[DidntThinkThisThrough finally realizes one big problem with breaking off her friendship with Sabrina]]: she now has to do her own schoolwork.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Riposte: Tales of Kagami the Fencer]]
* Upon meeting with an unsubtle Pollen, Tikki tells her that she has to hide herself to protect Marigold's secret identity. [[TemptingFate Plagg declares it shouldn't be a problem]] since, thanks to the spell on the Kwamis, [[TemptingFate none of them can say their respective holders' names]]... and Pollen promptly points to Marinette and ([[ExactWords without saying her holder's name]]) asks if that means she can't tell them ''that's'' her holder. Cue Tikki crying at the unfairness of it all. (That her chosen holder is even further out of her reach than before, that Pollen figured out a loophole after about three seconds, or both? You make the call!)
* Alix reaches out to Sabrina to see how she's doing after breaking up with Chloé. Lila then makes a "friendly" offer to let Sabrina do her homework, earning a jab in the ribs from Alix.
* Chloé puts up a "BFF Tryouts" list to replace Sabrina, but nobody signs up. When she demands why, [[RhetoricalQuestionBlunder everyone gives legitimate reasons]] [[ZeroPercentApprovalRating for hating her]].
** In addition, Nathaniel just says "You suck" rather than mentioning the event that got him turned into an akuma like everyone else.
** Chloé is outraged and [[{{Hypocrite}} demands to know who asked them]].
* Marinette is interested in the fencing tryouts, saying, "It could be useful!" The author notes, "N-not for any...you know, '''particular''' reason." (Marigold's Venom move is essentially a touché with a short weapon.)
* At tryouts, Marinette quickly defeats Adrien. [[ComicallyMissingThePoint Chloé promptly cheers for her "Adrichéri,"]] who just tells her off for being disruptive and informs her that it was Marinette who got the point in their bout.
* When Kagami shows up to demand a place in the fencing school, Chloé says, "Wow, what a noisy show off." The irony is [[ObliviousToHisOwnDescription lost on her]]. Marinette and Marc both give the bully epic side-eyes.
* It's repeatedly noted that Kagami is needlessly making things harder for herself:
** When told that she needs to defeat one of D'Argencourt's students to be admitted to his fencing school, she immediately challenges his best combatant. The entire team {{sweatdrop}}s as they note than she doesn't have to.
** Kagami suggests that she and Adrien disconnect themselves from the machines. Marc notes that by doing so, she just gave up the only impartial judge she had.
** Kagami pushes Adrien off the mat, which Marinette notes is an illegal move. The taglines even state how counterproductive this is and that it would never be allowed in an official tournament. However, D'Argencourt is so excited by it being [[ComicallyMissingThePoint "real fencing"]] that he doesn't do anything about it.
** She also drives the bout up the stairs and away from all the qualified observers.
--->'''Tags:''' None of you are going to finals with rule breaking moves like that
* There are three witnesses that D'Argencourt asks about the results of the fencing match: Marc, Marinette, and Chloé. Marc panics and abstains, Marinette in a fluster tries to analyze the rule breakage (which is promptly rejected), and Chloé instantly makes a partisan call in favor of Adrien. D'Argencourt accepts Chloé's opinion without a second thought and calls it a "clear victory" for his school, much to Marinette's incredulity.
* When Kagami accepts the decision of the referee that she lost, Chloé gloats, "See? Even '''she''' knows to listen to her '''superiors'''." [[BullyingADragon Kagami responds by driving her saber into the floor right next to Chloé's foot]]. The author notes, "Real close to losing a toe there, Chlo."
* When they see Kagami's face, both Adrien and Marinette [[SpeakInUnison think in unison]], "Shit she's cute."
* Chloé ''gets excited'' when she sees the akuma going after Kagami; Tikki just complains that she doesn't get enough cookies for having to put up with her holder.
* The RunningGag of akuma victims from outside Paris having ''no idea'' what's going on continues. Kagami watches wide-eyed as the butterfly wiggles through the car door and looks completely flummoxed when Hawkmoth starts talking to her. The author quips, "Welcome to our fair city, Kagami!"
* Scarlet Lady has a ZeroPercentApprovalRating with Marinette and Adrien. When Riposte appears, they shout, "Oh no, she's an '''akuma'''!" When Scar shows up, they yell, [[FromBadToWorse "Even worse!"]]
* Adrien's driver is neglected again. The author notes, "Maybe worry about your driver who just hopped an intersection in half a car." The tags add, "#i'm sure he's fine," referring back to what Chat Noir said in "Simon Says" when he sent The Gorilla crashing down in a broken elevator.
* Riposte declares, "This won't take long!" when she starts attacking Scarlet Lady before her "rematch" with Adrien. Scar replies, "Rude!"
* Scarlet Lady gives a [[JerkassHasAPoint for once deserved]] WhatTheHellHero to Marigold, saying, "You got my prince hurt?! I should fire you, you wanna-bee." However, the author notes, "Scar you don't have the authority to fire anyone."
* Marigold hides Adrien in a sarcophagus at the Louvre, which isn't good for his claustrophobia. But because she [[ButHeSoundsHandsome praises Chat Noir]] by saying, "Yeah, don't you know? He's the '''real''' hero of Paris," he forgives her for locking him in the case, and his respect meter for het goes up a bit more.
* Marigold does a literal {{Facepalm}} when she realizes that Scarlet Lady allowed Riposte to follow her to the Louvre, where Marigold hid Adrien. "Oh my gawd, you're so stupid," she laments.
* When Chat Noir arrives, he and Marigold engage in WittyBanter similar to the lines between him and Ladybug in canon.
-->'''Chat Noir:''' There's a fencing tournament at the Louvre and I wasn't invited?\\
'''Marigold:''' Well don't take so long at the vet!\\
'''Chat Noir:''' [[ActuallyPrettyFunny Pft!]]
* When Scarlet Lady begins demanding to know where Adrien is, Chat gets her to leave by pointing out that since she's about to detransform, people will see her with MessyHair. She quickly runs off. Then, as Adrien meets up with Marinette and Kagami, Chloé is glaring at them but doesn't want them to see her hair. Tikki can be seen grinning smugly at her holder's frustration.
* Marinette gives Adrien and Kagami a hug and them has to introduce herself since Kagami never got her name back at the gym. Kagami also has a rather alarmed expression compared to Adrien's very happy one.
* When Marinette and Adrien try to convince Kagami not to give up due to how much D'Argencourt drooled over her match with Adrien, Kagami notes that that's not what Chloé saw but refers to her as Marinette's friend. Marinette makes a disgusted face at that idea, which causes [[NotSoStoic Kagami to laugh]].
* Rather than come up with a name for Kagami's school, the author uses in its place a crossed-out "blah blah blah."
* At the end of the episode, Plagg tells Adrien some bad news:
-->'''Plagg:''' [[LampshadeHanging You do]] [[DidntThinkThisThrough realize that]] [[ThrowTheDogABone by giving the spot to the sword lady]] [[NoGoodDeedGoesUnpunished that you gave up a chance]] [[BittersweetEnding to be on a team with pigtails, right?]]\\

[[folder:Captain Hardrock: Tales of Anarka the Pirate]]
* Alya being completely blown away by how in denial Marinette is of her feelings for Adrien.
* After Anarka tells the kids that everything is allowed on the ''Liberty'', [[IncomingHam Chloé]] promptly shows up. [[DeadpanSnarker Juleka]] then clarifies that everything goes on the ''Liberty'' except '''''[[TheFriendNobodyLikes her]]'''''. [[HateAtFirstSight Anarka agrees]].
** Ivan's solution to getting rid of Chloé is to pick her up, haul her off the ship, and then draw up the gangplank so she can't get back on board.
** Chloé is so furious, vengeful, and petty that she actually goes right to the nearest police officer and files a false noise complaint about the '''Liberty''' before anyone onboard has played a single note. She even rides in the police car and waves to everyone to inform them that she's behind their concert being shut down.
* Alya can dish out the heavy hints about crushes, but she can't take them--she freaks out and blushes when Marinette [[ComicallyMissingThePoint connects one of her friend's hints about her and Adrien to Alya and Nino instead]].
* Gabriel [[KickTheDog revokes his permission for Adrien to attend the concert]]. Plagg tries to comfort him, only to learn [[MoodWhiplash Adrien's got something else on his mind]]:
-->'''Adrien:''' What do you think, [[ContinuityNod pink dye or blue dye this time]]?\\
'''Plagg:''' ''[visibly {{sweatdrop}}ping]''
** Nino then gets a call updating him on the situation... and asking what his favorite color is.
--->'''Nino:''' Adrien, put the credit card down!
** [[FunnyBackgroundEvent Alya and Marinette's reactions]] to Nino's side of the phone call.
--->'''Tags:''' #adrien, we can talk about this rationally and wITHOUT an Amazon Prime account!
* Luka and Marinette's first meeting amounts to an attempt to out-dork each other. Said meeting ends with Marinette slapping her cheeks and thinking, "What are you doing?! Your heart belongs to Chat Noir!" Pollen is confused by her reaction.
* As Adrien watches the reporting on the music festival on TV, Nadja proclaims, [[YourTelevisionHatesYou "You'd have to be a complete loser to miss it!"]]
-->'''Adrien:''' [[LampshadeHanging Why do you mock me, Nadja?]]
* Plagg tries to comfort Adrien by giving a "private concert." To Adrien's dismay, said concert is Plagg's off-key song about how cheese astounds the Kwami. Unlike in canon, where Adrien gives Plagg a gentle, wimpy compliment for his attempt, this version of Adrien covers his ears, throws back his head, and curses.
-->'''Caption:''' Things could always be worse, Adrien.
* Marinette describes Luka as cool, nice, and mature. [[DescriptionCut The next panel]] shows Luka worried about looking cool in front of her.
* Everyone reacting with an [[YouHaveGotToBeKiddingMe "Oh,]] '''[[YouHaveGotToBeKiddingMe C'MON!]]'''[[YouHaveGotToBeKiddingMe "]] when they realize that Chloé is the one who submitted the noise complaint.
* As Roger begins ticketing Anarka for various {{Felony Misdemeanor}}s, one is because he got seasick. In canon, he could have gotten this motion sickness from standing on the gangplank. Here, no gangplank means he's standing on the rock-solid dock.
* Officer Roger has to deliver his tickets as paper airplanes because Anarka didn't put the gangplank back down after Chloé left. What makes it funnier is that Anarka waits for him to do this before responding.
* When Hawkmoth proposes to give Captain Hardrock an indestructible ship to blast her music, she says, "Oh yeah that's a way better plan. I was just not gonna pay the tickets." The author comments, "Nobody thought you were gonna pay the tickets."
* Chloé thinks Luka is cute, though badly dressed. She expects him to swoon from her name alone, but when he hears it, he instead gives her an ugly look, [[ZeroPercentApprovalRating having plenty about her from Juleka]]. Clueless Chloé asks, "What's that look for?" As the author says, "Your reputation precedes you."
* Chloé doesn't care that her father might be in danger, but as soon as Tikki mentions that her CelebCrush XY might be as well, [[SkewedPriorities she suddenly starts caring]].
* When Captain Hardrock captures the teenagers on her ship, the chains she summons bind Ivan to Mylène, Juleka to Rose, Luka to Marinette, and Alya to Nino. As the author jokes, [[ShipperOnDeck "The ship is a shipper!"]]
* After Anarka is akumatized, thus interfering with the music festival, the news caption changes to "No fun allowed," [[SeenItAll with Nadja looking more fed up than anything else]]. This is juxtaposed with Chat Noir rejoicing at the danger reported on the news, happy that he now has an excuse to unground himself and can even check in on his friends. Then he sees Scarlet Lady heading the same direction. "Good feeling gone," he sighs. In the end tags the author says, "#scar really knows how to suck the joy out of anything."
* Marigold and Scarlet Lady exchange some burns. The author says in the end notes, "Marigold bringing extra SASS today."
-->'''Marigold:''' It's harder to sneak away than I thought.\\
'''Scarlet Lady:''' Ha! That just proves how much of a '''''new-bee''''' you are!\\
'''Marigold:''' Must be easy for you because you don't '''''have''''' friends.
* When Captain Hardrock and Chat Noir are dueling, she calls him a scallywag, landlubber, and bilge rat. He [[InsistentTerminology insists]] that he's a bilge ''[[ITakeOffenseToThatLastOne cat]]''.
* As the members of Kitty Section and their friends beach the ship, [[ThisIsGonnaSuck Luka laments how sore they're all going to be tomorrow]].
* Scarlet Lady brags, "Your hero has once again saved the day." Someone in the crowd (who took part in beaching the ship) asks, "Uh, didn't '''we''' save the day?" [[IRejectYourReality Scar loudly denies it.]]
* When Adrien says to his father that he hopes they can play the piano together since he can't go to his friends' concert, Gabriel changes his mind and allows Adrien to attend the concert so that Adrien won't know Gabriel hasn't played ''in ten years''.
* Rose yelling out that she and Juleka are dating by working it into the song lyrics... which completely went against Juleka's plan to stay ''out'' of the spotlight.
* Luka and Adrien both cheerily compliment Marinette. After Luka calls her "cute," [[ExplainExplainOhCrap Adrien begins to say "Gorgeo--" before finally realizing he now has a love rival]]. The fact that Adrien gives Luka a jealous DeathGlare as he catches on while Luka simply responds with a knowing smug makes it even better.

[[folder:Syren: Tales of Ondine the Mermaid]]
* As in "Kung Food," [[HurricaneOfPuns every title has a pun]], this time sea related: "Fintastic," "Mermaid For Each Other," "Totally Shellfish," "Shorely You're Joking," "It's O-fish-al!," "Seas the Day," "A Bit Over-whale-ming," "That was on Porpoise!," "A Crabby Day," "You're Krilling Me," "Oh the Humanatee," "Let Minnow What You Think," "Oh, For Shore!," "We're Manta Be," "Sea You Later," and "Feeling a Little Jelly."
* The fact that the animals somehow escaped from the zoo so easily is lampshaded when Kim and Ondine (and a random bystander), clearly worried, wonder how that could have happened. The author notes in the tags that she initially thought it was because Animan (who hasn't yet appeared in the comic) had returned in the canon episode.
-->'''Tags:''' #nope! they just GOT OUT
* Kim unknowingly calls himself an idiot. Ondine thinks he's not wrong. The author quips, "Just know what you're signing up for, Ondine."
* When Kim runs off to the movies, Ondine reaches out a hand and calls out to him making it look like she's going to say something like "Stay, I love you!" Instead, she yells, "At least take off the swim cap!"
* Marigold lures the escaped panthers into the van by using her spinning top like a cat toy.
* Chloé isn't interested in helping to round up the zoo animals... until she sees Chat Noir and Marigold being interviewed. [[NeverMyFault She's then furious over being excluded from that]].
* After Chat Noir and Marigold finish up with the animals and the resulting interview, [[IRejectYourReality Scarlet Lady accuses them of keeping that a secret from her]]... prompting Chat Noir to point out that she literally just told them ''she saw them on TV''.
* Chat Noir reveals that he actually does know where Marigold got her Miraculous from, and he's not telling Scarlet Lady. He even says this while sticking his tongue out, causing the Ladybug heroine to throw a tantrum.
** He later privately admits to Marigold that he doesn't actually know much more than Scarlet does but still relishes in her not knowing that.
** Marigold seeing this [[NotSoAboveItAll unpleasant side]] of Chat Noir doesn't quite reach BrokenPedestal, but she still {{sweatdrop}}s as she sighs, "You can be pretty childish when you want to." The author justifies, "Well, Marigold, when you're dealing with a child, sometimes you have to stoop to their level."
* The FunnyBackgroundEvent of the man cleaning in the background, only to then notice the akuma flying towards Ondine and run away.
* Chloé is so annoyed over Chat Noir and Marigold keeping secrets from her that she forgets she was supposed to be seeing a movie with the rest of the class. Tikki [[TheGadfly decides not to remind her]].
* It seems Marinette has a reputation for being prompt. The author notes in the tags, "#alya you gotta get used to Marinette being late to things now that she has her... side job."
* When the group at the theater realize their bully isn't coming, [[AndThereWasMuchRejoicing all of them throw up their arms delightedly and rejoice in unison, "Chloé didn't come!"]]
* When Master Fu forbids Plagg and Wayzz from entering his lab to prevent them from learning any power-up recipes, Plagg tells Wayzz he's "gonna break [Fu's] pots."
* Master Fu and Adrien comment on how Scarlet Lady is upset by Marigold's presence and being left out of the loop. After a {{Beat Panel}}, Master Fu shrugs it off with a dismissive [[NoSympathy "sucks for her"]] that Adrien wholeheartedly agrees with.
* Chloé doesn't want to help fight the akuma flooding Paris because [[SkewedPriorities it would get her hair wet]]. Tikki points out that the water is rising to the level of her apartment.
-->'''Tikki:''' Looks like your hair's getting wet either way.\\
'''Chloé:''' '''''[[BigNo NOOOOO!]] Not Seine water! Fish pee there!'''''
* Marinette and Adrien have a little more advance warning of the flood than Marinette did in canon, in which she only noticed water coming into the theater when her feet started getting wet. The two are able to slip away without Alya noticing; she turns to first one and then the other, only to find them both gone. The author jokes, "It's too late, Alya. The Seine has them now."
* When Scarlet Lady shows up and berates Marigold and Chat Noir for being slow, they ignore her.
* When Master Fu berates Chat for revealing the former's identity and location to Marigold, she initially sides with Fu but instantly changes her mind when Chat justifies it by saying she's his friend, with a caption arrow noting that [[LoveMakesYouDumb "Love makes her stupid."]] Master Fu facepalms in frustration.
* Needing an ingredient for the aqua power-up formula, Marigold comes up with the idea to contribute [[SoUnfunnyItsFunny lame jokes]], with Chat Noir quickly adding his own. They successfully make Master Fu laugh, which brings a "tear of joy" to his eyes.
* When Scarlet Lady sees the powered-up Chat Noir and Marigold, she once again expresses annoyance about them keeping secrets from her and decides that if they aren't going to tell her everything, they should just fight the akuma without her. They tell her that they would actually do that if they could and [[ForceFeeding force feed]] the potion to her. In the caption, the author jokes, "Don't worry about the weird taste, I'm sure that's nothing."
* Kim doesn't recognize Syren as an akumatized Ondine until she references her failed confession, causing him to realize that ''he'' was the idiot she was telling him about.
* When the three superheroes show up in their aqua forms to confront Syren, Hawkmoth is shown ''jealously pouting'', complaining "Not fair."
* Kim's LoveEpiphany when Marigold checks on him is both sweet and hilarious. To quote the author, "Give him a break, each word had to hit individually."
-->'''Marigold:''' How are you holding up?\\
'''[[ComicallyMissingThePoint Kim]]:''' Ha! [[TheSmartGuy Max]] [[StealthInsult says I'm]] [[ObliviousToLove too dense]] [[InsultBackfire to let the]] '''''[[WesternAnimation/Frozen2013 cold]]''''' [[WesternAnimation/Frozen2013 bother me!]]\\
'''Marigold:''' ''[[ActuallyPrettyFunny [laughs]]]'' Actually, [[ShipperOnDeck I was referring to the fact that your friend just confessed to you.]]\\
'''Kim:''' [[OhCrap Oh. Right.]] [[LoveEpiphany Ondine is in love with me.]] '''''[[DelayedReaction Wow.]]'''''
* Once Kim has calmed down and offered Ondine his sweatshirt so she won't be cold (remember, it's February, and dried off by the Miraculous Cure or not, [[SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome Ondine's swimsuit is not suited for regular winter weather]]), Chat mischievously points out that he and Marigold can get them back to the pool faster than if Kim just carries Ondine himself. Kim IMMEDIATELY declines, [[BridalCarry hugging Ondine and planning on carrying the blushing girl]] the whole way, [[CrazyJealousGuy not wanting to share the responsibility]].
* When Scarlet Lady demands to know where the potion came from, Chat Noir and Marigold are depicted with little halos above their heads and innocent-looking faces. Then Chat Noir tells her it's none of her business--and warns her to leave before she loses the '''only''' secret she has (her SecretIdentity).
* Fu [[WhatTheHellHero finishes dressing down Chat Noir]] for bringing Marigold to him and punishes Chat by making him bring down and reorganize the entirety of Fu's pantry of ingredients by himself. On the plus side, he agrees to train both Chat Noir and Marigold (just separately).
* Marigold [[ComicallyMissingThePoint misunderstands]] when Master Fu says they can put the power-up formulas into forms that will suit their Kwamis. [[ThisIsGonnaSuck "But that means I'll be eating chili peppers!"]] she thinks. Later, Marinette bravely tries to eat a purple-tinted pepper, but Pollen stops her, clarifying, "You don't have to eat those for me, my Queen!"
* Gabriel's dramatic declaration that he must track down the Guardian at all costs is undercut by his ImagineSpot of [[https://zoe-oneesama.tumblr.com/post/655272320605339648/eat-it-gabe-episode-24-part-16-first a sparkling, finned version of his villainous alter ego]] striking a pose in the background.

[[folder:Dark Cupid: Tales of Kim the Romantic]]
* Max derails Mme. Bustier's lesson about how kisses in fairytales break spells with ThePowerOfLove by pointing out that the majority of those kisses aren't consensual, complete with giving their teacher some glorious side-eye over the subject matter. Bustier [[ChangeTheUncomfortableSubject nervously deflects]] rather than getting into any of the conversations ''THAT'' could spark.
* In a bit of a MoodWhiplash, Kagami's silent, smiling support of Ondine potentially getting a RelationshipUpgrade with Kim is followed by the casual thought of [[IfYouEverDoAnythingToHurtHer "If he hurts her, I'll maim him."]]
* When Marinette and Alya see the gift Kim is planning to give someone, Alya excitedly guesses it's for Ondine while Marinette says, darkly, "It had ''better'' be Ondine."
* Chloé snatches the poem Adrien was working on right off his desk, then [[ComicallyMissingThePoint cluelessly informs him that he got his description of her wrong]]. When he tells her it isn't for her, she demands to know whom it's for. Adrien's too embarrassed to admit the poem is for Marinette, so he claims it's for [[DramaticIrony Marigold]], to the shock of everyone, including his crush.
** Adrien {{lampshades}} how everyone, including Marinette, now thinks he's in love with the Bee heroine. He then admits it could've been worse; he might've said it was [[NominalHero Scarlet]] [[AlphaBitch Lady]].
** The poem he was working on was intended for Marinette, and he'd planned on giving it to her... as Chat Noir. [[DramaticIrony It's as though he was trying to create a]] TwoPersonLoveTriangle
** Marinette is embarrassed about Adrien's (apparent) crush on her superhero identity but notes it's flattering and brave to put himself out there. Pollen is just echoing her words in response all the while, almost like a YesMan. In contrast, Alya is outside the bathroom and seemingly hears her best friend talking to herself, [[ComicallyMissingThePoint saying Marinette has a funny way of handling "bad news."]]
** Alya's utter ''bafflement'' that Nino, unlike her, has NOT made it a priority to pry into his bestie's love life and know all about his crushes.
* Chloé's response to Adrien writing a love poem for someone else is [[IRejectYourReality to make a valentine for herself on his behalf]]. Tikki straight up tells her she's pathetic.
* Despite being part of Adrien's fan club, [[EveryoneHasStandards Aurore finds Mireille hugging a poster of Adrien taped to a pillar to be a bit much]]. Mireille just shushes her, though.
* Chloé brags to the girls ogling a poster of Adrien that she has one with his signature on it. To her chagrin, they immediately note that it's not his handwriting and deduce she forged it.
-->'''Suhayla:''' Hey, that's not Adrien's handwriting!\\
'''Aurore:''' We're his fanclub, who're you trying to fool?\\
'''Unknown Fangirl:''' Lying about that, that's so pathetic!\\
'''Chloé:''' ''[clutching her poster]'' '''''How dare you?!'''''
* Alya trying to help Marinette confess her feelings to her crush. Thing is [[OneDialogueTwoConversations Marinette is talking about Chat Noir while Alya assumes it's Adrien]]. With the both of them eventually realizing they're talking about two different people (who, ironically, are the same person).
* One of the couples Dark Cupid ends up attacking is Rose and Juleka, shooting the former. [[HairOfGoldHeartOfGold Rose]] being [[AllLovingHero Rose]], her hate-filled insults [[PokeThePoodle aren't really that effective]].
-->'''Rose:''' I hate how tall and gorgeous you are! Makes me sick!\\
'''Juleka:''' [[InsultBackfire Am I supposed to be insulted?]]
* When Dark Cupid makes Alya insult Marinette, the latter says she'll ignore the insult because Alya looks good in black lipstick.
* Both Chat Noir and Marigold both find Chloé's framed perfume ad poster of Adrien scary, viewing it as a StalkerShrine of sorts. The author also points out how creepy it is:
-->'''Tags:''' #chloe over here getting a perfume ad poster of adrien framed and hung in her bathroom and you call marinette the crazy one
* Imagining that Dark Cupid is jealous of her [[BelievingTheirOwnLies "signed" Adrien poster]], Chloé [[SkewedPriorities pushes Marigold toward the akuma to protect it]], causing Marigold to be hit by a hate arrow. In the end notes, the author jokes, "Ooh yay! Now you get to match Alya!" (referring to the "black lipstick" effect from the previous issue).
** Darkened Marigold [[PokeThePoodle smashes Chloé's poster with her top]] while attempting to attack Chat Noir, asking her partner, "How do you like '''that'''?" He [[AttackBackfire just smiles]] and says, [[InsultBackfire "I like that very much, thanks,"]] causing Marigold to swear at him.
** Seeing the utterly devastated Chloé in the background [[{{Wangst}} mourning]] her treasured poster ([[BelievingTheirOwnLies seemingly having convinced herself that it really had been signed by Adrien despite the bottom portion with the forged signature having already been torn off]]) makes it even better.
* Marigold challenges Chat to a fight. When he refuses, she scoffs, "Ugh, your kindness and friendliness is insufferable." Chat {{lampshades}} the InsultBackfire: "Wow, you're really bad at being mean. Thank you?" The author compares her to Rose (who "insulted" Juleka by calling her tall and gorgeous).
* Escaping from the hate-filled Marigold, Chloé runs into a potted plant display and faceplants on the ground, covered in dirt. Lila and Sabrina laugh and take pictures, and Sabrina plans to show the pictures to Alix. Chloé complains and wonders if they were hit by the akuma. [[NotBrainwashed "What akuma?"]] they say in unison. They both hate her without any need for an arrow from Dark Cupid, who rolls over in the air laughing.
* Chat Noir is about to take on Marigold and Dark Cupid together. He remains confident he can take them despite being two on one. Then [[TheMillstone Scarlet Lady]] arrives...
-->'''Scarlet Lady:''' I've arrived, sidekick!\\
'''Chat Noir:''' [[ThisIsGonnaSuck Well, there goes my odds.]]
** It gets even funnier when [[SubvertedTrope he's proven wrong]]: Scarlet Lady is so pissed about the day's constant HumiliationConga that she actually ''wants'' to fight Dark Cupid herself and attacks by simply throwing the Lucky Charm (a candy heart) at him. Even Chat Noir's surprised at her gusto.
** After stunning Dark Cupid, Scarlet Lady (rather foolishly) [[note]] luckily for her, Chat Noir's too busy to notice what she said, or else he'd have put two and two together [[/note]] rants about how her day's been going while Chat Noir is still fighting a brainwashed Marigold in the background.
-->'''Chat Noir:''' Scar, I'm glad you're actually pulling your weight for once. But now is '''''not the time!'''''
* The ForcedKiss Chat Noir uses to break the hate spell on Marigold turns into TheBigDamnKiss between them, leading one to suspect that Marigold came to her senses rather quickly and took advantage of the opportunity (though later chapters show this is not the case--like Chat Noir in canon, she doesn't remember anything once the kiss is over). Meanwhile, Scarlet Lady and Dark Cupid are just watching the display with deadpan expressions.
-->'''Scarlet Lady:''' [[GetARoom Do we need to come back at another time?]]\\
'''Marigold:''' Ah! What--? Where?
* Chat Noir [[FastballSpecial throws the confused Marigold at Dark Cupid]]. This uses up her Venom, paralyzing the villain so she can grab his broach.
-->'''Chat Noir:''' Good job, Goldie!\\
'''Marigold:''' ''[with a SweatDrop]'' Yaaaay?
* Chat finds himself in an awkward situation when he realizes Marigold doesn't remember anything after getting shot by Dark Cupid at the hotel. He can't explain in front of Scar, who puts things crudely. So he does a PrivacyByDistraction and pushes them both away because their Miraculous are beeping.
* Adrien [[SeamlessSpontaneousLie explains his valentine to Marigold as not from a crush but from an appreciation of her as a hero of Paris]]. [[ItsAllAboutMe His male vanity is then hurt]] when Marigold is relieved to hear that, even though they barely know each other (except in their other identities).
* Marigold explains to Adrien that she's glad about the above because there is already someone else in her heart and she didn't want to have to let him down. Adrien replies that he does, too, and [[TwoPersonLoveTriangle both of them silently wonder who the other person is in each other's case]].
-->'''Narration:''' [[ObliviousToLove Idiots.]]
* Adrien gets a WrittenSoundEffect of "Doki Doki" for his heart pounding after a friendly kiss from Marigold. He scolds himself with the literal words, saying [[DramaticIrony "No 'doki doki'! You're in love with Marinette!"]]

[[folder:Intermission: Tales of Marinette the Bee]]
* Rose compliments Marinette on inviting Chloé to her sleepover. Marinette responds that it was nicer of Chloé to rip up the invitation so that they don't actually have to endure her presence.
* Alya is ''[[ThisIsGonnaSuck not]]'' happy that Marinette invited Lila as well, something that Lila rather smugly rubs into her classmate's face.
* The guys decide to take Adrien to an arcade... and win all the Marigold merch they can for him, wrongly thinking he has a crush on the superheroine.
* Kagami starts panicking when Ondine insists on introducing her to Adrien's friends.
* Adrien reassures Kim that he and Kagami are JustFriends. Kagami takes offense:
-->'''Kagami:''' ''[clutching his hands, wide-eyed]'' I thought we were '''''good''''' friends!\\
'''Adrien:''' ''[sparkling dramatically]'' You're absolutely right, I'm so sorry.\\
'''Nino:''' You guys are '''''definitely''''' giving the wrong impression.
* Adrien finally tells his friends that he doesn't have a crush on Marigold. His friends immediately realize that [[EveryoneCanSeeIt the poem was meant for Marinette]]. Meanwhile, Kim is more concerned about what they're supposed to do with all the Marigold swag they've been getting for him.
* When Adrien gets in the car to leave, he gives [[ClosetGeek The Gorilla]] a Marigold figurine from the pile of Marigold merch his friends won him.
* Gabriel states why he allowed Adrien to go out with his friends:
-->'''Gabriel:''' Bah, who knows what my son would do to retaliate if I denied him. [[FelonyMisdemeanor He might wear]] ''[[FelonyMisdemeanor crocs]]''.
* Gabriel is quietly appalled that ''his own son'' is a Marigold fan. Nathalie points out that it's better that he admire ''her'' rather than the incompetent Scarlet Lady, which he takes offense to.
-->'''Gabriel:''' [[IRejectYourReality Scarlet Lady is NOT incompetent! She's the slipperiest of the whole group!]]\\
'''Nathalie:''' Ah. Of course, sir. ''[thinking] [[FirstPersonSmartass Because if she was an idiot, you'd be the guy]] '''[[FirstPersonSmartass losing]]''' [[FirstPersonSmartass to that idiot.]]''
* Pollen, realizing how much she's being pampered, wonders with a confused expression, "Am ''I'' the Queen?"
* When Rose talks about how she and Juleka got together, it turns out that the latter was ''extremely'' ObliviousToLove, to the point where she wasn't sure if Rose kissing her on the lips was as a friend or not.
* When Luka delivers a pizza to the girls' sleepover, Lila asks about his age compared to Juleka's, but all he'll say is he's older, much to her confuision (and frustation).
* Luka and Marinette start to stare at each other, which prompts his sister to throw a pillow at his face and say it's [[GetOut "time for dumb boys to get out."]]
* Alix reveals that Lila and Sabrina are [[HiddenDepths sportier than they look]], showing off a photo of a wild-eyed Sabrina working off some rage at the skating rink while Lila cheers her on like an ObsessiveSportsFan.
* Lila's response when Alya defends Scarlet Lady's work with expensive brands:
-->'''Alya:''' Well, she has an important job! She deserves royalties, right?\\
'''Lila:''' Ha! Royalties for '''''what''''', sitting on her butt while being a glory hound?
* When Alya tries to defend Scarlet Lady to Lila, she looks to Marinette for support... only for Marinette to bluntly state that Scarlet Lady is the worst, much to Alya's dismay, while Lila sticks her tongue out and Alix laughs. In the next panel, [[FunnyBackgroundEvent Alya is pulling at Marinette's cheeks]].
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Animan: Tales of Otis the Zookeeper]]
* Just like in "Kung Food," [[HurricaneOfPuns all the chapter titles have puns]], this time animal-themed: "Stay Pawsitive," "You Goat This," "Ready To Flamingle," "So Hippo-critical!," "You Are Unkoalafied!," "Toucan Play At That," "Oh Deer," "Unbearable," "Hogs And Kisses," "Giraffing Me Crazy," "Why You Always Lion," and "That's Just Cheetahing!"
* Adrien asks Nino why he's ogling Marinette so much. Nino says he has a huge crush on her, which causes Adrien to pull a comical IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy, biting down so hard [[BloodFromTheMouth his mouth starts to bleed]]. Nino quickly reassures his best friend that he was just teasing and is actually trying to set Adrien up with Marinette.
* Adrien doesn't think he has enough time or energy to ask Marinette out because of his job (more as Chat Noir than as a model). He lets Nino persuade him to try.
-->'''Adrien:''' ''[with stars in his eyes]'' Can... can I really? Is it possible? Am I allowed?\\
'''Nino:''' Bro, it's just a date.
* The role reversal of Adrien overthinking how he wants to approach the zoo trip with Marinette. It's adorably awkward and [[FridgeBrilliance makes complete sense]] when one remembers [[FriendlessBackground Adrien]]'s [[NoSocialSkills life before now]]. Luckily, [[NiceGuy Nino]]'s [[OnlySaneMan there to keep Adrien grounded]].
* Chloé complains to Tikki about having to go the smelly zoo in disguise to mess up Adrien's date with Marinette:
-->'''Chloé:''' The sacrifices I make for love.\\
'''Tikki:''' You don't have to -\\
'''Chloé:''' '''''[[IRejectYourReality Sacrifices!]]'''''
* In a role reversal, Alya is blushing about going on a real date with Nino, and Marinette is teasing her gleefully. Later, Alya tries to warn Marinette not to do anything weird... with mixed results.
-->'''Marinette:''' Whaaat? We're just having a nice, no-pressure day out with the guys! ''[thinking with a SlasherSmile] And if me and Adrien accidentally leave you two alone halfway through, that's just a '''coincidence'''.''\\
'''Alya:''' You have a terrible poker face.
* Chloé is spying from afar and decides that she needs to get closer. [[DeadpanSnarker Tikki instead suggests she can hide in the bushes... where she can sit in]] ''[[DeadpanSnarker shame]]''.
* Chloé's "brilliant, original" idea for sneaking closer: [[NewspaperThinDisguise hiding behind a large newspaper with eyeholes cut out]] while sitting at a table. Meanwhile, someone (seemingly Master Fu) sitting right next to her [[InstantlyProvenWrong is using the same exact tactic]].
* Otis threatens to have Marinette [[DisproportionateRetribution banned from the zoo]] after [[StatingTheSimpleSolution she suggests he feed his panther at the back of the enclosure, away from the eyes of the public]]. Alya's reply? [[AmazinglyEmbarrassingParents "Dad. No."]]
* [[EvenEvilHasStandards Even Hawkmoth is surprised at the pettiness]] of Animan's reason for revenge:
-->'''Hawkmoth:''' Animan, I'm giving you the power to get revenge.\\
'''Animan:''' Excellent! How dare those kids disrespect my panther, thinking they can outrun her!\\
'''Hawkmoth:''' [[YouHaveGotToBeKiddingMe ...Really?]]
* When Chloé crashes the group, Adrien tries to be as politely blunt as possible about how he knows that she wasn't at the zoo by "coincidence" like she claims. Chloé [[DramaticallyMissingThePoint completely misses]] (or chooses to ignore) this, declaring she found him because of their "deep connection."
* When the animals are let loose by Animan immediately after Chloé interrupts the date, the captions describe her as being "Like a heat seeking missile of awful."
* For once, both Adrien and Marinette are angry at the akuma for personal reasons (ruining their respective plans) while Chloé's happy the akuma has officially ruined the pair's "date."
* While Chat Noir and Scarlet Lady hold off the animals, [[ShipperOnDeck Marigold]] sees an opening and throws Nino and Alya into the panther's empty cage and cheekily tells them to stay safe with a little heart floating above her.
** Alya has a FreakOut because she can't get footage for her ''Ladyblog''.
** When Nino gives Alya his headphones and tells her to breath... Alya replies that she can't hear him.
* Scar, Chat, and Marigold see Animan attempting to eat Kim. The heroes, [[EvenEvilHasStandards including Scar]], are for once united in silent disbelief that the villain is that angry about Kim's boasting.
* After Animan runs to find Kim, Chat Noir tells the others that he's tagged Kim to find him. Marigold rewards him with tickling that makes him purr while Scar makes a disgusted face.
* They find Kim at the Dupain-Cheng bakery, where Marigold almost blows her cover, but the best comes right below:
-->'''Sabine:''' Oh, but you're-!\\
'''Scarlet Lady:''' Ohoho! Yes, it is I, your hero-\\
'''Sabine:''' [[BaitAndSwitch Marigold!]]
'''Chat Noir:''' ''[struggling not to laugh]'' Pft!\\
'''Sabine:''' It's so nice to meet you!\\
'''Marigold:''' A-ah, thanks!
'''Scarlet Lady:''' ''[furious she's being ignored] '''Grr!'''''\\
* When Chat is on top of T-Rex Animan, he yells for someone to get his legs. Scarlet Lady says, "Don't tell me what to do!" and uselessly bounces her yo-yo off the creature. Marigold lassos the legs with her top and then one-shots the dinosaur in the head with Venom.
* As [[TheBadGuyWins Chloé crows to herself about doing a good job of ruining Adrien's date with Marinette]] ([[MeaninglessVillainVictory nevermind it would've been ruined either way by the akuma]]), Tikki decides to [[TheGadfly throw out her hairspray]] the moment she falls asleep.
* When Adrien and Marinette see Alya and Nino holding hands, they simultaneously sparkle while pointing at said hands and saying, "Ooooh!"
-->'''Alya:''' Told you they'd make it weird.
** Then when Adrien asks how it happened, one of them (presumably Alya) relates how Marigold locked them up together--all while [[ShipperOnDeck Marinette]] giggles.
** The ending:
--->'''Nino:''' Turns out we have a lot in common: an interest in video editing...\\
'''Alya:''' Really young siblings...\\
'''Alya and Nino:''' [[WhatTheHellHero Best friends that ditch them.]]\\
'''Adrien & Marinette:''' [[OhCrap Eheheh!]]
* Adrien takes Nino aside.
-->'''Adrien:''' Hey man, congrats!\\
'''Nino:''' Thanks, dude!\\
'''Adrien:''' ''[with a NightmareFace]'' Pretty amazing '''''you''''' got a girlfriend when you're supposed to be wingmanning for '''''me.'''''\\
'''Nino:''' '''''[[OhCrap M-my bad.]]'''''
* Alya has a conversation with Marinette about the latter's actions at the zoo:
-->'''Alya:''' Girl, I told you not to be weird, but you '''''totally''''' tried to dip on purpose.\\
'''Marinette:''' Whaaat? I just wanted to see the elephants!\\
'''Alya:''' [[SpottingTheThread It was giraffes.]]
* Otis is apologetic to Alya for getting akumatized and ruining her day at the zoo, but he finds he is EasilyForgiven. She kisses his cheek and walks off humming because she got a boyfriend out of it.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Puppeteer: Tales of Manon the Doll Master]]
* Marinette is taking care of Manon, and they are playing with the Miraculous dolls the former made. After Manon picks Marigold and Chat Noir as the heroes, Marinette points out that she never picks Scarlet Lady--and Manon shows that [[StylisticSuck the Scarlet Lady doll is little more than a painted paper bag with a ponytail glued to it]].
-->'''Manon:''' But her doll is so lame.\\
'''Marinette:''' ''[thinking with an evil grin] Just like the real thing!''
* Marinette can't explain to Manon why Hawkmoth wants the Miraculous and just says, [[XMustNotWin "Uh, because then the bad guys... would win!"]] Manon doesn't see what is so bad about that and demands the Miraculous so her side can win. Marinette thinks, "You're a little too gung-ho about it!"
* When Nadja returns to get Manon back:
-->'''Nadja:''' Have you been good, Manon?\\
'''Manon:''' Mommy, Marinette didn't let me win!\\
'''Marinette:''' ''[thinking] Snitch!''
* Manon asks if she can keep the Marigold doll (which she accidentally ripped earlier), but Marinette tells her she has to fix the doll. When Manon pulls out the PuppyDogEyes, though, Marinette relents to letting her have the Lady Wifi doll. As Manon leaves, Pollen just looks at Marinette while the latter lets out a DefensiveWhat.
-->'''Caption:''' Now I know your weakness, My Queen.
* When Chloé starts bragging about how hilarious it'll be to see her classmates work at the hotel, Tikki punctures her ego by smugly telling her she has to go buy more Dupain-Cheng cookies.
* The bonus panel where Manon gets akumatized:
-->'''Hawkmoth:''' Puppeteer, I am Hawkmoth.\\
'''Manon:''' Oo, then, you're giving me powers?\\
'''Hawkmoth:''' Why, yes!\\
'''Manon:''' And I just gotta get you the Miraculouses?\\
'''Hawkmoth:''' [[KidHasAPoint Exactly!]] Geez, [[SimpleMindedWisdom why can't all my akumas be this informed]]?
* Adrien's ClarkKenting is [[SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome immediately seen through]] by Marinette and Alya, who innocently make teasing, flirty winks at him ([[ShipTease much to his embarrassment]]). He at first mistook them for [[LoonyFan his more rabid fans]], but Alya insists that they're only his "''best'' fans."
* Puppeteer and Hawkmoth's back and forth pretty much sounds like a little girl and her ImaginaryFriend that she thinks everyone else can hear:
-->'''Puppeteer:''' Mommy took my doll, so it's probably in the studio.\\
'''Hawkmoth:''' Excellent deduction, Puppeteer.\\
'''Puppeteer:''' Shh, M. Hawkmoth, Mommy can't catch us.\\
'''Hawkmoth:''' And why is that?\\
'''Puppeteer:''' [[ComicallyMissingThePoint Cuz Mommy will get mad and I'll get in trouble!]]\\
'''Hawkmoth:''' You know you're an '''''akuma''''', right?
** The author's notes continue it with Manon's obvious retort: "Yeah, and she's still [[AlmightyMom MOM]]! (It's not worth it!)"
* Puppeteer continues her temper tantrum over wanting the dolls through Lady Wifi. Once Marinette figures out it's Manon is the one akumatized, what does she do? [[DontTellMama Threaten to tell Nadja.]] While she does this, [[FailedASpotCheck she fails to notice Adrien sneaking off to turn into Chat Noir]].
* Puppeteer sends Lady Wifi to Marinette's room to get the other dolls, which Chloé and Tikki both witness. Unlike usual, Chloé doesn't need much encouragement to leap into action ([[DramaticallyMissingThePoint she thinks that Lady Wifi is trying to prove Marinette is Scarlet Lady again]], which is one of Chloé's {{Berserk Button}}s)... though she still insists on finding the right spot to transform first.
-->'''Chloé:''' You don't expect me to hide behind trees or go into a dirty subway, do you?!
* Chat Noir follows Puppeteer into Marinette's room. While Pollen encourages Marinette to transform, Marinette freaks out because Chat Noir is going into her room--and the caption implies she's got something similar to her canon collage of Adrien photos there, which is later comfirmed in "Troublemaker."
* Scar enters Marinette's room to fight the Puppeteer-controlled Lady Wifi and then notices the Scarlet Lady "doll":
-->'''Scarlet Lady:''' What is '''''this?!''''' Is this supposed to be '''''me?!'''''\\
'''Chat Noir:''' It's a spitting image.
* Puppeteer's reaction to Scar ripping the Scarlet Lady "doll":
-->'''Puppeteer:''' No faaaair! That's cheating! Gimme your Miraculouses you bunch of super evil goodie two shoeses!
* After Chat Noir recovers his doll, Lady Wifi leaves... and Puppeteer makes her cry and say she'll be telling on the heroes.
* The mentioned names of the dolls are Chaton Noir for Chat Noir, Minigold for Marigold, and Small Lady for Scarlet Lady.
* Since Marigold has to stay out of the fight due to Manon having her doll (requiring her to detransform to avoid getting mind-controlled), Adrien tells her not to worry because he can bring in a substitute. Who does he choose? [[DramaticIrony Marinette]].
** ''How'' he appears is also hilarious. Marinette is wondering whom Chat Noir will pick as substitute. Cue him jumping onto her balcony, scaring the crap out of her.
** In the meantime, Pollen is giving a [[GreenEyedMonster jealous glare]] while hiding in a rose shrub.
* Puppeteer is having much less fun than in canon. When she tries to bring her Marigold doll to life, it just slumps over. She throws her arms around Lady Wifi's waist, crying, "Waaah! It didn't work, meanies, meanies!"
** Likewise, when Marinette shows up as Multimouse along with Scar and Chat Noir. Puppeteer doesn't take this well:
--->'''Puppeteer:''' WHAAA! NO FAIR YOU DON'T '''''HAVE''''' A DOLL! '''''HAWKMOTH!''''' THEY WON'T LET ME WIN!\\
'''Hawkmoth:''' ''[telepathically and awkwardly]'' [[PetTheDog There, there.]]
** All the while, Scar, Multimouse, Rogercop, and Evillustrator just stand there, not really sure how to react to all that.
* There are some WritingAroundTrademarks jokes as Marinette talks about her Mouse hero name. Chat suggests "Minimouse," only for Marinette to reply that she's pretty sure that's trademarked. Later, she calls herself the "Mighty Multimouse," to which Chat Noir remarks, "Pretty sure that's also trademarked."
* Scarlet Lady finally activates her Lucky Charm when Puppeteer calls her and the other heroes "super evil not pretty goodie two shoeses."
-->'''Scarlet Lady:''' I'll show '''''you''''' who's "not pretty," '''''brat'''''!\\
'''Caption:''' Scarlet Lady finally met someone who [[WomanChild matches her in emotional maturity.]]
* Chat Noir is [[AmazonChaser smitten by Marinette]] using Scar's Lucky charm to deflect projectiles heading her way as he's fending off Lady Wifi.
* As the Multimice are grabbing the dolls, the captions reveal that "the controlled akumas are just flopping on the ground."
* Marinette defeats Puppeteer by having one of her smaller clones simply bite the akuma's hand to make Puppeteer let go of her wand.
* Once Puppeteer's defeated, Marinette "accidentally" takes off the Mouse Miraculous and feigns disappointment she can't be a superhero anymore since people know her identity. Mullo smiles cheekily at the whole act while Chat Noir just pouts as tears stream down his face.
* Manon pinkie promises not to tell anyone about Marinette formerly being Multimouse and gets the others to do the same, much to Marinette's embarrassment. Scar, to her annoyance, is also included among the group.
-->'''Caption:''' [[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic You don't say no to a PINKIE PROMISE!]]
* Alya asks Marinette for an interview. Marinette agrees as long as it's solely about Puppeteer and Multimouse showing up, not her ''being'' Multimouse.
* There's lots of Kwami jealousy. Pollen is jealous of Mullo ([[{{Troll}} not helped by the face Mullo makes to Pollen]] after Mullo compliments Marinette on her use of the Kwami's power and Marinette hugging Mullo in response) and tries to give Marinette the cold shoulder when the latter returns. Marinette angers Pollen even more when she teases the Kwami about being jealous, though she's quickly forgiven when she reassures Pollen that she will always be her favorite Kwami. Meanwhile, Tikki sobs when she learns that her chosen has been granted ''[[RuleOfThree three]]'' different Kwamis (Plagg, Pollen, and Mullo) now while she is still stuck with [[AlphaBitch Chloé]]. The author captions it "Kwami Soap Opera."
* Marinette apologizes to Nadja for lending Manon a doll after Nadja said no. Nadja reassures the teen that she'll be immune to Manon's PuppyDogEyes eventually. Marinette is then put to the test the next day when she offers to let Manon help her make a secret custom doll of Multimouse. Manon [[HereWeGoAgain uses her eyes again]] to try to get permission to take the doll to the zoo ([[ComicallyMissingThePoint thus defeating the whole point of it being a secret]]), and Marinette will have to refuse or risk her family's safety. In the tags, the author laments, "#you learned nothing manon!"

[[folder:Pixelator: Tales of Vincent the Super Fan]]
* Adrien learns that Chloé has assigned him to work at the front desk of the hotel with her. He asks Alya to trade jobs with him, and she turns him down with a finger-gun gesture, [[TemptingFate declaring, "Not on your life."]] A few seconds later, she finds out that Chloé assigned her garbage-sorting duty at the dumpster. She asks Adrien for a trade, only for him to turn her down with [[IronicEcho the exact gesture and words she used on him]].
-->'''Tags:''' #the face of instant regret
* Jagged Stone checks in to Chloé's father's hotel--and neither he nor Mayor Bourgeois remembers the other:
-->'''Chloé:''' Daddy, that's Jagged Stone, '''''remember'''''?\\
'''André Bourgeois:''' Honey, I only remember the important people.\\
'''Chloé:''' [[PopCulturalOsmosisFailure He's an internationally beloved rock star!]]\\
'''Jagged Stone:''' Penny, who is this idiot?\\
'''Penny Rolling:''' The '''''mayor?''''' '''''Bob's''''' friend? You judged a '''''cooking show together'''''?\\
'''Jagged Stone:''' Bob's friend? [[RepressedMemories No wonder I erased him from my memory.]]
* Mayor Bourgeois makes a cavalcade of mistakes as he tries to schmooze with Jagged, forcing Adrien to play damage control:
-->'''Jagged Stone:''' I need a room with a '''''real''''' tub for Fang!\\
'''André Bourgeois:''' We have all Mme. Fang needs! Even a top of the line fitness center.\\
'''Adrien:''' M. Bourgeois, Fang is his '''''crocodile.'''''\\
'''Jagged Stone:''' Exactly!\\
'''André Bourgeois:''' Ah, I-I see! M. Stone, could I offer your... er, Fang... a nice bubble bath?\\
'''Adrien:''' [[KidHasAPoint Sir, reptiles absorb water through their skin, you can't use soaps!]]\\
'''Jagged Stone:''' Can this '''''kid''''' check me in instead of you?\\
'''Caption:''' He seems more knowledgeable than you!
* Pixelator proclaims that Jagged Stone will be his and his alone, which creeps out Hawkmoth:
-->'''Hawkmoth:''' Um, sure. ''[aside]'' And people wonder why I kept my son home for so long.\\
'''Tags:''' #maybe instead of judging everyone you should just [=NOT=] akumatize literal criminals.
* Penny requests a special pair of shades for Jagged Stone's concert--and M. Bourgeois [[GotVolunteered volunteers]] Marinette, their "chasseur." Penny {{sweatdrop}}s while wondering if everyone working at the hotel is a teenager as Marinette gives an OhCrapSmile.
* Marinette's description of her work for Jagged, as well as Pollen's response:
-->'''Marinette:''' Time to make some tacky glasses for a tacky man!\\
'''Pollen:''' [[YesMan Yay, tacky!]]\\
'''Caption:''' Tacky isn't an insult here, it's just a fact.
* Chloé reveals that she had her father name Marinette as the hotel's "chasseur" for a reason:
-->'''Adrien:''' Why '''''did''''' you give her that job?\\
'''Chloé:''' To get her out of the hotel, of course! So she can't ruin our alone time.\\
'''Adrien:''' [[FlatWhat Huh?]]\\
'''Chloé:''' ''[attempts to kiss Adrien, who tries to push her away--[[MeaningfulBackgroundEvent while Kim and the doorman get zapped by Pixelator behind them]]]''\\
'''Adrien:''' We're just doing our jobs, Chloé! Or at least I am!\\
'''Caption:''' I feel like you two are missing something ''kinda important in the background there!''
* Chloé is so dumb that she doesn't realize Pixelator is an akuma. When Pixelator zaps her, Adrien attempts to tackle her out of the way, [[NoGoodDeedGoesUnpunished only to get zapped as well]]. They both get stuck in a void... and Adrien mentally begs for Marigold to hurry up and rescue them because Chloé is taking advantage of it to cuddle with him.
** Meanwhile, Marinette has just left Jagged Stone's room, only for Pixelator to show up and zap Penny, leaving Marinette ''and Pollen'' with an epic-level sweating OhCrap face.
* Jagged attempts to set Fang on Pixelator. Fang just rolls over as Jagged just {{sweatdrop}}s.
* Pixelator makes a bad pun as he zaps Fang. Marigold's got something to say about it:
-->'''Pixelator:''' [[IncrediblyLamePun See you later, alligator!]]\\
'''Jagged Stone:''' Fang, no!\\
'''Marigold:''' He's a crocodile, you '''''fake fan!'''''\\
'''Pixelator:''' '''''"Fake?!"'''''
* Marigold gets hit in the hand by Pixelator and begins screaming as she kicks Jagged's luggage at the akuma and swings the rock star outside the window. Jagged makes a lame "Ahhh?" in reply.
-->'''Caption:''' When your panic brain takes over and you do everything in autopilot to get the hell out (crossed out) ''even though you could've grabbed the akuma when you knocked a whole bunch of luggage on top of them.''
* In the first bonus panel, Marigold takes Jagged to the first place she could think: Collège François Dupont.
-->'''M. Damocles:''' Is this really the safest place for M. Stone?\\
'''Jagged Stone:''' ''[muttering]'' Lame.\\
'''Marigold:''' It's the [[FreudianSlip lamest]] place I could think of to hide him.\\
'''M. Damocles:''' ''[CrossPoppingVeins]'' Hmm?\\
'''Marigold:''' [[OhCrap Uh I mean!]] Uhhh, I'm gonna go check this guy's place, stay safe!
* Hawkmoth and Pixelator discuss the need to bring out the heroes (not knowing that the latter's already captured Scarlet Lady and Chat Noir).
-->'''Caption:''' They’re having a contest on ''who can be the most creepy''.
* An imprisoned Chloé tries to make demands of Marigold, who decides to ignore her in favor of asking two of Pixelator's other victims how they were caught (while Adrien is begging to be saved).
-->'''Chloé:''' She '''''ignored''''' me?!
* When Mireille and Théo say they were walking down the Champs-Élyées (sic) and Pixelator took a picture of them, [[SkewedPriorities Marigold asks what they were doing]] [[SkippingSchool "on the Champs-Élyées on a school day."]]
* When Nadja shows up to interview Pixelator, a banner appears on the television reading [[HereWeGoAgain "Yep we're doing this again."]]
* Pixelator challenges Jagged Stone to come out if he doesn't want him to zap all of Paris. Jagged Stone [[HeroicSacrifice declares he must go]]--because [[SkewedPriorities his ratings will be amazing]]. M. Damocles is not impressed.
* Marigold shows up, with people cheering on her... until someone asks where Scarlet Lady is, which prompts everyone to ask for her.
-->'''Marigold:''' ''[angry]'' It's a mystery to me as well.
* When Chat Noir is about to sneak up on Pixelator and destroy his akumatized visor, [[NiceJobBreakingItHero Scarlet Lady]] [[WithCatlikeTread jumps up and shouts "Hurry up and grab the akuma, Alley Cat!"]]
* Jagged Stone shows up to let Pixelator take a photo of him... but wastes time by switching between multiple poses in different places, keeping the akuma distracted while Marigold and Scar save the day.
* Scarlet Lady demonstrates AccidentalAimingSkills when she throws the Lucky Charm compact at Pixelator at just at the right moment to reflect his capturing camera beam back at him. (To be fair, it was probably only the luck of the Lucky Charm that made the throw work even for Ladybug in canon.)
-->'''Marigold:''' Hey, I think your aim is getting better!\\
'''Scarlet Lady:''' I was aiming for his '''''head'''''.
* Penny begins to give tickets for the Jagged Stone concert to the teens that did the best during the internship, and Chloé is seen keeping her hand extended, clearly expecting one... only for Penny to explicitly skip Chloé and give the last ticket to Adrien. Chloé's irritated face is ''hilarious''.
* Adrien feels bad because he missed half the day due to Pixelator and tries to give it to someone else, but the rest of the class either already has plans or already bought their own tickets. Chloé tries to ask for it, but Adrien just shuts her up by covering her face with his hand.
* During the concert, we're given a reminder of Adrien and Luka's rivalry:
-->'''Marinette:''' Isn't this amazing, guys?!\\
'''Adrien and Luka:''' ''[blushing as they look at Marinette]'' [[SpeakInUnison Yeah... amazing.]]\\
'''Adrien:''' ''[jealously glares at Luka]''\\
'''Luka:''' ''[gives a slightly strained grin to Adrien]''
* Jagged thanks Marigold for saving him. Alya then glances at Marinette and questions why she's blushing.
-->'''Caption:''' I'm just happy she's getting recognition? Heheh?

[[folder:Guitar Villain: Tales of Jagged Stone the Rock Star]]
* Bob Roth tells Jagged Stone (who is still wearing the Eiffel Tower glasses Marinette made) that he wants him to have a duet with XY. Bob's response when Penny points out that Jagged's style is wildly different from XY's?
-->'''Bob Roth:''' Oh, it'll be fine after you ''[[DramaticallyMissingThePoint modernize your music, find a new style and change everything about yourself]]''.\\
'''Jagged Stone:''' '''''[[SymbolSwearing F@$#]] off.'''''
* When Penny states that she and Jagged want to commission Marinette to make Jagged's cover art, Bob Roth is aghast. A growl from Fang makes him change his opinion.
* After learning that [[AbhorrentAdmirer Chloé]] wants to invite him to something, Adrien actually ''asks'' to practice his Chinese instead. Unfortunately, Gabriel already accepted for him.
-->'''Adrien:''' ''[thinking] Dammit père.''
* After Bob Roth commissions Marinette to make an incredibly drab cover design, she laments that this isn't her or Jagged's style at all. She mentions to Pollen that sometimes her parents make a sample of a bad request to show the customer why it's bad, but this doesn't always work.
-->'''Marinette:''' Sometimes it makes them like it ''[[SpringtimeForHitler more!]]''
* When Luka delivers Chloé's pizza, he avoids having to greet her face to face by handing it off to the front desk instead. He then runs into Marinette, learns she's going to meet with Jagged Stone, and offers her a ride home afterwards. The moment she turns to leave, he scrambles to take off his pizza delivery shirt, thinking, "Gotta get out of this lame uniform, quick!" A bonus panel shows Marinette [[EatingTheEyeCandy sneaking a peek at him while he's changing]], with the caption reading, "''I don't have a caption for this because Photoshop crashed like FIFTEEN TIMES when I tried to draw it!''"
* Luka is waiting for Marinette to return... only for the elevator ping to reveal Chloé, who promptly sticks like a limpet to him while calling him "mon Chouka," much to his disgust. He then puts on an OhCrap face when he realizes [[AbhorrentAdmirer she]] has a crush on him just as Adrien appears and she calls him "Adrichou."
* XY's interview in which he insults Jagged turns out to be right outside the hotel, leading to Jagged throwing his tablet at the younger singer's head.
* When Marinette arrives in the hotel lobby, Adrien greets her with a smile while Luka [[QuietCryForHelp begs her to save him from Chloé]].
* As XY is being beaned in the head with a tablet, one of the men standing behind the singer nervously stare to the right and notices the butterfly.
* Seeing Guitar Villain, Marinette exclaims how he seemed fine just a minute ago.
* [[BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor Chloé screams for Luka and Adrien to get her out of the room]] where Guitar Villain is when the akuma starts attacking; they comply by [[ExactWords shoving her into the elevator]] while sporting matching nonchalant expressions.
* Marinette sends Adrien away to flag down Chat Noir and tells Luka she'll find Marigold so she can run off and transform. Unfortunately for her, Luka decides to help her by giving her a ride on his bike.
-->'''Luka:''' C'mon, we'll cover more ground on my bike!\\
'''Marinette:''' ''[thinking] Wait, '''[[DidntSeeThatComing that's not part of the plan!]]'''''
* Chat Noir tells both Luka and Marinette to get to safety, [[FailedASpotCheck not noticing]] Marinette's OverlyNervousFlopSweat. He then does some ObliviousGuiltSlinging when he notes that Marigold isn't picking up.
* Scarlet Lady saves Théo, and he thanks ''Chat Noir'' for it.
-->'''Caption:''' The one time Scarlet did something and [[DudeWheresMyRespect she didn't even get credit]] lol.
* Marinette rushes to transform as soon as Luka is gone.
-->'''Marinette:''' Pollen, omigod, Buzz On!\\
'''Pollen:''' Buzz On, yay!
* XY has trouble remembering whom Scarlet Lady is and refers to her as "the bug lady."
* Scarlet Lady is an XY fan and offers to take him to a "safe place," but she's useless when Guitar Villain carries him off.
-->'''Scarlet Lady:''' H-hurry up, sidekicks! XY is going to fall!\\
'''Chat Noir:''' D-did you forget the dragon guarding the tower?\\
'''Scarlet Lady:''' So deal with him too!\\
'''Chat Noir:''' And what does that leave for '''''you?'''''\\
'''Caption:''' ''[answering for Scar]'' "It leaves me to suck up to XY, ''obviously''."
* When Marigold arrives on Dragon!Fang, Chat Noir joins her near the head... while leaving Scar to hang onto the tail.
* Marigold gives XY a rough rescue by lassoing him with her top string, bouncing him on his bottom, and breaking the guitar on the gangplank as she pulls him to safety. The author notes, "XY's got a steel butt I guess."
* Scar tries to comfort XY, but he finds her to be an AbhorrentAdmirer.
-->'''Scarlet Lady:''' Oh, my poor XY! I'm so sorry for how my lackies treated you! I'll make it up to you, I promise!\\
'''XY:''' ''[looking between her and Jagged Stone]'' Huh? This dude's crazy! '''''You're''''' crazy! [[ScrewThisImOuttaHere I'm going home!]]\\
'''Scarlet Lady:''' Oh! [[ComicallyMissingThePoint I can take you down!]]\\
'''XY:''' I'm taking the elevator you freak!
* While Marigold freaks out about all the stuff she still has to do and having to figure out an excuse for Luka if he asks what she was doing, Chat asks the deakumatized Jagged for an autograph, which the rocker obliges.
* After Jagged gets Bob to reluctantly approve of Marinette's design by threatening to quit, [[CouldHaveAvoidedThisPlot she wonders why the rockstar didn't just do that in the first place]].
* When Chloé tries to {{Glomp}} Luka while complaining about her day, Luka just keeps her away with a hand to her face while snarking with Juleka.
-->'''Juleka:''' [[EmbarrassingNickname "Mon Chouka?"]]\\
'''Luka:''' Don't you f**king dare.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Princess Fragrance: Tales of Rose the Princess]]
* The [[DepartmentOfRedundancyDepartment repetitiveness]] of the [[ShapedLikeItself title and subtitle together]] is quite amusing.
* The news report at the beginning is about how Scarlet Lady, Chat Noir, and Marigold defeated [[AuthorAvatar Zoe Rapporte as the Enchanted Florist]], who has apparently been akumatized enough times for it to be referred to as her "Nth" time.
** The news captions also say, "Top 10 therapists in Paris," and "Seriously there's other florists."
** Zoe angrily interrupts the broadcast:
--->'''Zoe:''' ''[FlippingTheBird]'' Well '''''maybe''''' if people were a little less [[CurseCutShort shi-]]\\
'''Offscreen voice:''' '''''Cut!'''''
* Marinette offers [[BlatantLies a preposterous excuse]] for being late to class. [[{{Hypocrite}} Chloé mocks her for it]], but the teacher isn't letting her false excuse pass either. (Both were actually fighting an akuma.)
-->'''Marinette:''' [[INeedToGoIronMyDog I, uh, had to bring my... dog! To the vet! He... ate all of my socks!]]\\
'''Chloé:''' Maybe if you were early, you could fully bake your excuses, Clumsinette! And you wouldn't look like a drowned rat!\\
'''Ms. Mendeleiev:''' You were '''''also late!'''''
* Chloé tries to mock Rose by saying her perfume smells like a dead fish. Sabrina "kindly" reminds her that she has the same perfume.
* Rose catches Chloé apparently talking to her bag (actually to Tikki). When Chloé declares she wasn't talking to Rose, the latter asks if she was talking to her bag because she has no friends.
* Marinette sees Tikki with Chloé... and [[EntertaininglyWrong assumes the latter stole Scarlet Lady's Kwami]]. Pollen is noticeably disappointed that her holder failed to connect the dots and figure out Scarlet Lady's secret identity.
-->'''Marinette:''' Pollen, Chloé has Scarlet Lady's Kwami!\\
'''Pollen:''' ''[excited]'' [[HopeSpot Oh my!]]\\
'''Marinette:''' She probably stole her! Cuz she's a thief and Scarlet is careless!\\
'''Pollen:''' ''[with SweatDrop]'' [[IronicEcho Oh my.]]\\
'''Narration:''' '''''Oof so close.'''''\\
'''Caption:''' Missing that last brain cell.\\
'''Tags:''' [[RightForTheWrongReasons #she definitely stole *something* marinette!]]
** There's some irony in the fact that Pollen knows Chloé is Scarlet Lady but doesn't tell Marinette the truth because Tikki told her not to reveal the identities of the Miraculous users. [[BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor Tikki might be regretting that now...]]
** Pollen can also be seen combing Marinette's pigtails the entire time.
* In the bonus panel, as Rose is akumatized, Hawkmoth offers to make her perfume so powerful, she could probably TakeOverTheWorld with it if she wanted to. Rose, [[NiceGuy being Rose]], [[PragmaticVillainy is a little bit more practical than that]].
-->'''Rose:''' I mostly just want my prince, to be honest. [[NotSoAboveItAll ... But we can torment Chloé a little.]]\\
'''Caption:''' You know, as a treat ♥
* Princess Fragrance uses her perfume to make the doorman let her in. After she enters, proudly declaring to Prince Ali that she's coming for him, she turns her attention back to the doorman to ask for directions to Prince Ali.
* Chloé offers a Scarlet Lady figure (which she picked from her shelf), Adrien brings some Chat Noir plushies, and Kagami says her family brought a truckload of Marigold merch. Prince Ali doesn't know who "these characters" are.
* When Princess Fragrance makes Chloé stink, Pollen giggles and Marinette says, "This might be my favorite akuma."
* Everyone assumes Adrien fell victim to the mind-control perfume when he disappears. Meanwhile, Chat Noir comes out from his hiding place where he transformed to find that everyone has left, wondering, "Where is everyone?"
* Because Marinette invoked "Buzz On" while wearing a motorcycle helmet, Marigold ends up wearing one. It appears to have bee-themed colors matching her costume.
* When Prince Ali first sees Marigold, he's surprised that she's real.
* Chloé gets excluded from the escape car.
-->'''Kagami:''' She's not after '''''you''''' and you'll stink up the car.\\
'''Chloé:''' ''[accidentally flinging Tikki into the car]'' Let me in! Who do you think you are?!\\
'''Kagami:''' Go hide in a bush.\\
'''Chat Noir:''' Chloé. Wait for Marigold, or your '''''BFF''''', Scarlet Lady.\\
'''Chloé and Princess Fragrance:''' ''[[[SpeakInUnison in unison]]]'' How dare yoooou!
* After Master Fu heals Tikki, Pollen insists that she get a goodbye hug from Marinette before leaving. Tikki cries tears of joy as she embraces her should-have-been holder... and then sees Pollen with a DeathGlare, telling Tikki that she's the only one with whom Pollen will share Marinette, who is off limits to the other Kwamis, especially Mullo. Marinette, meanwhile, is completely oblivious to all this happening right over her shoulder.
* When Marigold confronts Princess Fragrance, she points out (or at least attempts to point out) a minor flaw in the akuma's plan:
-->'''Marigold:''' Rose, did you forget you have a girlfriend?!\\
'''Princess Fragrance:''' I have '''''two''''' hands, busy body!
** And, indeed, at the end of the episode, Rose has Ali in one hand and Juleka in the other.
* When Princess Fragrance sends her servants after Marigold, the latter snarks she's more afraid of Kagami than Chat Noir.
* Hawkmoth is worried when Princess Fragrance says she'll enchant all of Paris.
-->'''Hawkmoth:''' [[OhCrap Wait, not me though, right?]]\\
'''Princess Fragrance:''' '''''All of Paris!'''''
* After returning Rose to normal, Scarlet Lady starts to brag and introduce herself, but Marigold sees that she's about to transform back and takes none of the Ladybug heroine's usual crap, interrupting her by pulling her by the ear and dragging her away, to both Rose and Ali's confusement.
-->'''Prince Ali:''' ''[{{sweatdrop}}ping]'' Are your heroes usually this... eccentric?\\
'''Rose:''' ''[also {{sweatdrop}}ping]'' Um...
* Chloé tells Prince Ali that Rose has a girlfriend, hoping it'll make him ditch her. [[InsultBackfire Instead, Prince Ali says he'd love to meet Rose's girlfriend,]] and Rose replies that her girlfriend would love to meet him.

!!Season 4
[[folder:Despair Bear: Tales of Jean-___ the Butler]]
* Because Jean's full name isn't known, the title card gets around this by having him hold up Chloé's teddy bear right in front of the unknown section.
* Master Fu feels a mental jab when Marinette points out Scarlet Lady "never should've been allowed to keep the earrings in the first place."
* During Tom's baking lesson, Chloé whines about not wanting to get her new pants dirty, only to be told to shut up. When she demands that everyone listens to her complain, Sabrina tells her point-blank no one cares.
* When Adrien confronts Chloé about her actions, she completely fails to read his mood:
-->'''Adrien:''' Chloé, did you '''''really''''' just call the fire department just to get out of M. Dupain's baking class?\\
'''Chloé:''' ''[surrounded by LoveBubbles and making a kissy face]'' Sure did!
* Chloé's ComicalOverreaction to Adrien ending their friendship, [[OcularGushers with tears streaming from her eyes like a waterfall]].
* When Chloé sends her party invitation to everyone in hopes of getting Adrien to repair their friendship, Lila plans to eat her food, trash her hotel, and [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking leave her with the bill]].
-->'''Marinette:''' Uhh, remind me not to invite you to any house parties.
* When Adrien and Nino tell Gabriel that they are getting ready for Chloé's party, both are surprised that he's okay with it. While Adrien just thinks his father would've made him go either way because it's Chloé, Gabriel has other motives.
-->'''Gabriel:''' A party organized by the most despicable girl in Paris is a breeding ground for akumas! [[EvilLaugh Bwahaha!]]
* When Nino sees Alya in her beautiful new dress, he falls to the ground, convulsing, and writes, "dead by beautiful girlfriend" on the floor with his finger. Alya, [[BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor who had just snarked about Nino not complimenting her dress as Adrien had with Marinette]], can only groan in mortification. (It seems likely he's kidding around to compliment her, but it's way over the top.)
* In order to show Adrien how nice she is, Chloé reluctantly agrees to kiss her other guests on the cheek. As she struggles to kiss Marinette, the latter wonders why she's being punished.
* Jean using Mr. Cuddly to manipulate Chloé into acting decently is worth a chuckle or two.
* Mylène goes through an emotional rollercoaster because of Chloé:
-->'''Mylène:''' Chloé told me my dress belongs in the trash.\\
'''Ivan[=/=]Luka:''' Ugh. Typical.\\
'''Mylène:''' Then she said she was kidding and '''''loved''''' my style.\\
'''Ivan[=/=]Luka:''' Uhh-- [[FlatWhat what?]]\\
'''Mylène:''' '''''Then''''' she dumped a bucket of '''''ice''''' on my drink and I just ''really don't know how to feel right now.''\\
'''Ivan[=/=]Luka:''' '''''?!?'''''
* Kagami arrives wearing a very nice dress. Aurore blushes and has a JawDrop at seeing her. Mireille then bemusedly closes her mouth while telling her friend not to let Kagami catch her drooling.
* When a slow song comes on, Chloé attempts to find a dance partner. Needless to say, it does not go well.
** First, she tries Luka, who just gives her a BluntNo.
** Next, she offers to dance with Kim, who is already dancing with Ondine.
** She demands Nathaniel dance with her, not only [[JumpScare jump scaring him]], but also driving him to grab the first person he can (Marc) just so he doesn't have to dance with her.
** She wants to dance with Adrien, but he has just begun to dance with Marinette. This hits her BerserkButton, making her scream, "What's the point of being '''''nice''''' if he dances with '''''Dupain-Cheng?!'''''" Butler Jean tries to calm her, but she just yells at him to get out of her way.
* The author notes that Adrien is so distracted by his irritation with Chloé that he doesn't even notice Marinette acting besotted.
* When Despair Bear takes over Sabrina, she makes an OutOfCharacter [[WeUsedToBeFriends offer]] to brush Chloé's hair, saying "I promise it won't hurt." Chloé reacts with "Get off me, psycho!"
* Both Adrien and Marinette mentally nickname the akuma as "Creeper Bear." They also make [[INeedToGoIronMyDog lame excuses]] to break off their dance so they can go and transform.
* Marigold [[SpectacularSpinning spins Chloé]] to get her out of the room and away from Despair Bear's attacks from his MindControl victims, even though [[SkewedPriorities Chloé complains it will mess up her hair]]. (It's [[LaserGuidedKarma similar to the move Scar did to Lila]] when she threw her into the fountain.)
* After three seasons, what's the thing that finally [[BrokenPedestal starts cracking]] Scarlet Lady's [[VillainWithGoodPublicity positive reputation]]? Publicly claiming that '''[[HatedByAll Chloé]]''' is her best friend. Everyone is disturbed by this news, especially Aurore, who's so disgusted she looks like she's about to puke.
* As Despair Bear jumps between people to attack the heroes, Scarlet Lady keeps ordering her "sidekicks" to protect her... until she falls prey to the akuma.
-->'''Scarlet Lady:''' Stop him, sidekicks!\\
'''Chat Noir[=/=]Marigold:''' Ugh.\\
'''Scarlet Lady:''' Protect me, sidekicks!\\
'''Chat Noir[=/=]Marigold:''' Shut '''''up,''''' Scar!\\
'''Possessed!Scarlet Lady:''' Give me your Miraculouses, sidekicks!\\
'''Chat Noir[=/=]Marigold:''' '''''[[YouHaveGotToBeKiddingMe Seriously?!]]'''''
* Despair Bear ends up defeated pretty easily... because Chat Noir and Marigold are used to having to work around Scarlet Lady anyway. Having her actively working against them isn't that much worse than what she usually does.
* How Despair Bear is defeated: Marigold takes the Lucky Charm (a fork) to snag Despair Bear by a thread and then hooks it to a sunshade, allowing Chat Noir to unravel Mr. Cuddly, leaving only the doll-sized akuma.
** At the end of it, Scarlet Lady wonders how they got to the pool while Chat Noir holds a tiny akumatized Jean.
* Scar tries some BlatantLies to claim credit for stopping the akuma but promptly gets shot down.
-->'''Jean:''' Begging your pardon, but, what happened?\\
'''Scarlet Lady:''' You became bad but I saved you--\\
'''Marigold:''' That's enough of your '''''lies'''''. Your '''''timer'''''.
* When Jean recovers and states he just wanted to help Chloé salvage her friendship with Adrien, only to get fired, Chat Noir replies [[FiveSecondForeshadowing that she'll forget she fired him by the next day]]. Then...
-->'''Chloé:''' '''''Jean-Baptiste!''''' Get down here and save my party!\\
'''Jean:''' Oh!\\
'''Chat Noir:''' Or she'll forget right now.\\
'''Tags:''' #putting Chloé on Audrey's level where I think she's only serious of about 25% of the people she fires
* As Adrien notices that everyone's still at the party, Chloé comes and asks if he wants to forgive her for everything.
-->'''Adrien:''' [[BluntNo No?]]\\
'''Chloé:''' [[BigWhat WHAT?!]]
** Adrien also gives his response [[TranquilFury with a completely flippant expression, though the preceding panel makes it clear he's serious]].
* Pretty much everyone has hilarious shocked looks on their faces when Chloé cancels her party and presumably kicks them all out after Adrien refused to forgive her.
* [[IRejectYourReality Chloé decides that Adrien was just being dramatic with the whole thing of not being her friend.]]
-->'''Jean:''' ''[thinking]'' ''Yes... '''he's''' the dramatic one.''

[[folder:Sapotis: Tales of the Césaire Twins]]
* Nino explains how Alya's been down ever since she realized Scarlet Lady's true nature, and Adrien and Marinette wonder why they didn't notice that. Arrows labeled, "Numb to Scarlet Lady's meltdowns," are shown pointing at both of them.
* Alya is so unwilling to accept what she learned about Scarlet Lady during Chloé's party that she clings to the fact Scarlet Lady is a LegacyCharacter as a reason to believe the Scarlet Lady at the party was someone else. As the author says, "Alya, denial is not just a river in Egypt."
* As Hawkmoth prepares to akumatize the twins, he shows a tad of HypocriticalHumor:
-->'''[[AbusiveParents Hawkmoth]]:''' Ahh, the life of young children is no fun at all. They should be able to do whatever they want, whenever they want.\\
'''[[LonelyRichKid Adrien]]:''' [[SneezeCut Ha-]]'''''[[SneezeCut choo!]]'''''\\
'''Caption:''' "Someone must be talking a lot of bullshit somewhere."\\
'''Tags:''' #Really wish Nathalie was recording all of Hawkmoth's little speeches to play back at him so he can hear what a {{hypocrite}} he is
* Tikki is swimming in the hotel spa pool, a cute little hat on her head and a grouchy look on her face.
* Chloé has no intention of fighting the Sapotis at first. She is taking a well-deserved (in her mind) spa treatment when the Sapotis make it personal by throwing mud[[labelnote:*]] well, one ''hopes'' that's mud! [[/labelnote]] in her face.
* After the first Lucky Charm, Marigold takes Scarlet Lady to a back alley so she can recharge.
-->'''Chloé:''' I can't believe you took me to such a discusting place to recharge! You're heartless!\\
'''Marigold:''' '''HURRY UP IF YOU DON'T LIKE IT!'''
** The author admits that, for once, they weren't picking on Chloé - they just forgot that Chloé would need to recharge and had to pick a feasible place.
* Adrien goes to Master Fu for another Miraculous to help with the Sapotis. When Adrien says he has a person in mind for it, Master Fu asks, "It's not Marinette again, is it?" Adrien denies it, but a narration box says, "Totally was."
* Scarlet Lady [[HelpMistakenForAttack mistakes the new Fox hero for an akuma similar to Volpina]]. Marigold holds her back, pointing out that the Sapotis have already used up the akuma.
* Alya furiously declares to her siblings that just because they are akumas, doesn't mean she won't discipline them in the future.
* When Scarlet Lady tries to assert her (meaningless) authority, Fox Trot (Nino's Fox Identity) immediately sasses Scar, telling her that he'll only follow the orders of Paris's ''true heroes'', the far more competent Chat Noir and Marigold, enraging Scar.
** The sass prompts Marigold to snark to Chat he's good at picking temps.
* Marigold somehow immediately writes down a list of ''everything'' they need to defeat the Sapotis with Scarlet Lady's unicycle Lucky Charm. One wonders where she even got her writing utensil from.
* After the battle, when Marigold offers to escort the Césaires home, Scarlet Lady promptly begins to make up an excuse as to why she can't join them, only for Marigold to snark that she didn't expect her to do anything anyways.
* Alya's FreakOut when she sees Fox Trot for the first time.
* Fox Trot spends so long comforting Alya about her [[BrokenPedestal broken illusions]] about Scarlet Lady that he has to hide in Alya's room to time out. Chat Noir then has to sneak him out over the balcony.
* As in canon, the Fox holder is tempted to keep Trixx:
-->'''Nino:''' ''[starry-eyed]'' [[MundaneUtility Can I keep the Fox to make movies?!]]\\
'''Chat Noir:''' Negative.
** Trixx is also starry-eyed and begging. Seems like they hit it off really well.
* Marinette rushes in and {{Glomp}}s Alya, glad that she's safe. Then Nino rushes in and glomps them both. Finally, Adrien does the same, causing the group to lose their balance and leaving Alya at the bottom of the dogpile.
* Adrien smiles knowingly at Nino as Chris gushes about Fox Trot while reassuring his older brother that he's still the coolest, causing Nino to blush.

[[folder:Anansi: Tales of Nora the Martial Artist]]
* Adrien manages to go out with his friends, even though his father objected at first.
-->'''Gabriel:''' Adrien, I forbid you from going out tonight. It's too dangerous.\\
'''Adrien:''' Ah, père, I '''''thought''''' you might say that. Sidebar, have you seen [[RunningGag my collection of hair dye]]? I forget, what's '''''your''''' favorite color, père? I'm partial to '''''pink'''''.\\
'''Gabriel:''' [[OhCrap Mon dieu.]]
* Alya's older sister Nora, a kickboxer, catches some snark because she calls herself "Anansi" despite being [[LightningBruiser "like a tank in the ring"]] instead of being tricky like her namesake.
* Hawkmoth knows that if he sends the akuma to someone who has a partial grudge against his own son, he would be directly contributing to putting Adrien in danger. On the other hand, the earrings and ring would look sick on him, which is enough reason for him to send the akuma.
-->'''Caption:''' Excellent set of priorities, Gabby.
* Chloé complains about missing out on going to New York because of her hero duties. Tikki tries to convince Chloé she could take her time off and leave her Miraculous with Marigold and Chat Noir. But Chloé refuses, thinking they wouldn't be anything without her. You can practically feel Tikki figuratively snapping her fingers at Chloé not taking the bait.
-->'''Tikki:''' ''[thinking]'' Worth a shot.
* When Nora is akumatized into Anansi and attacks the Ferris wheel, Alya, who's on said wheel with Marinette, Adrien, and Nino, [[HypocriticalHumor yells at her for being a hypocrite after trying to prevent her from going because of akuma threats]].
-->'''Alya:''' ''[enraged]'' AFTER ALL THAT GRIEF, YOU BECAME AN AKUMA, YOU STUPID--!\\
'''Marinette:''' Alya, don't attract her over here!
** Even the caption agrees: "AFTER ALL THAT TALK NORA!"
* Adrien and Marinette screaming at Alya to run so that they can run off to transform.
* In order to get away from Adrien, Marinette brings up the promise she made to Chat Noir about not fighting in akuma battles anymore, which Adrien (being Chat Noir) buys completely.
-->'''Caption:''' Man, making that promise to Chat Noir has been the best Get-Out-of-Akumas-Free card ever.
* A fearsome but FunnyBackgroundEvent shows Sabrina, Lila, and the latter's mother on the Ferris wheel that Anansi flings at Chloé's hotel suite. They are all terrified, with Lila and her mother clinging tightly to each other.
* Nino's first line when the heroes and Alya catch up with Anansi? A very casual "Hey, babe." Keep in mind, he is several stories off the ground.
* Scarlet Lady gets one look at the "Spider Lady" akuma before desperately calling for her Lucky Charm and dumping it off on Marigold with the [[INeedToIronMyDog excuse of needing to recharge]]. Marigold is suspicious and asks, "And then you'll come back, ''right''?"
* Marigold brings Alya the Turtle Miraculous and offers it to her. Alya's so excited that she grabs Marigold's shoulders and begins shaking her before the heroine can even finish her explanation.
* The new Turtle holder, Alya, takes a moment to feel her new fluffy hair.
* Marigold locates where Scar is hiding by calling her on her top-phone and listening for her yo-yo-phone to ring.
* You know that old saying "Never meet your heroes"?
-->'''Scarlet Lady:''' So what dumb little name have you cooked up for yourself?\\
'''Alya:''' ... Koki Marina.\\
'''Scarlet Lady:''' ''[stroking her chin]'' Hm, there's gotta be some way to make an insult out of it. Give me time.\\
'''Alya:''' ''[seething and thinking]'' I'm going to write '''''such''''' an article about you!
* While Marigold and Koki Marina argue with Scarlet Lady, Chat Noir and Nino (both still trapped in Anansi's web) just engage in CasualDangerDialogue.
-->'''Chat Noir:''' Sup dude.\\
'''Nino:''' Hey, howzit going.\\
'''Chat Noir:''' Oh, you know, just [[IncrediblyLamePun hanging around]].\\
'''Nino:''' [[ActuallyPrettyFunny LOL!]] Hey, how come you don't Cataclysm the web?\\
'''Chat Noir:''' [[DidntThinkThisThrough The web currently attached to our entire backs?]]\\
'''Nino:''' Ah.\\
'''Caption:''' [[SimpleSolutionWontWork So unless you want a wicked "sunburn" on your back... ]]
* Marigold starts challenging Anansi, only to verbally backspace when she sees Koki Marina regarding her with starry eyes.
-->'''Marigold:''' I mean, uh, Koki Marina challenges you.\\
'''Koki Marina:''' ''[gleefully]'' Eeee!
* After Koki Marina defeats Anansi, there's a FunnyBackgroundEvent of Marigold doing a FastballSpecial with Chat Noir.
-->'''Chat Noir:''' Ultimate Chat Noir technique! Aim for the helmet!
* In canon, Alya was tempted to keep Trixx after her first mission as a temp hero. Here, she is tempted to keep Wayzz, but she resists because "... I don't want to be as untrustworthy as ''Scarlet Lady''." Still, she and Wayzz hit it off so quickly that Marigold has to tell them to stop bonding.
* When Nino "reveals" to Alya how he got footage of Koki Marina, she proceeds to snog the daylights out of her boyfriend... even though, as Nino points out, ''Nora'' is right there in front of them.

[[folder:Troublemaker: Tales of Penny the Manager]]
* While gushing about how great working for Jagged Stone is, Penny accidentally [[SayingTooMuch lets slip]] that he always pays his child support on time.
-->'''Marinette:''' Wait, Jagged has kids--?\\
'''Penny:''' ''[holds up a form without otherwise changing her position or dropping her smile]'' You didn't hear that. Also please sign this NDA.
* As Adrien tunes his TV to the program...
-->'''Adrien:''' ''[seeing Marinette all dressed up]'' [[{{Squee}} Omigod, her widdle uniform!]]
* Chloé also tunes in, but she isn't impressed.
-->'''Chloé:''' Ugh, I only wanted to watch this dumb show to see Dupain-Cheng mess up, not to hear her praises!\\
'''Tikki:''' But Chloé, [[ContinuityNod don't you remember]]?\\
'''Chloé:''' What?\\
'''[[TheGadfly Tikki]]:''' [[NiceJobFixingItVillain It's thanks to]] '''''[[NiceJobFixingItVillain you]]''''' that Jagged Stone even '''''met''''' Marinette!\\
'''Chloé:''' [[BigNo Nooooo!]] Don't remind me!
* When Marinette's bedroom is broadcast, the comic cuts to various reaction shots--Adrien has [[WingdingEyes heart eyes]], Marinette is panicking, and Hawkmoth yells a loud [[SayingSoundEffectsOutLoud "Gasp!"]]... before wondering, with a completely flat expression, "Wait, why am I gasping, I already knew that."
* Chloé thoroughly enjoys watching Marinette being embarrassed live on TV. She even [[PassThePopcorn eats popcorn]].
* Marinette freaks out because now all of Paris has seen her bedroom--particularly her Chat Noir photos. She's got nothing to worry about, though.
-->'''Marinette:''' If Chat Noir sees, he'll know I'm in love with him!\\
'''Pollen:''' You think so?\\
''[DescriptionCut]''\\
'''Adrien:''' ''[surrounded by sparks and hearts]'' Should I go see her?! No, no, it's too soon. I should order roses! Should I get red this time?!\\
'''Plagg:''' Ugh.
* Hawkmoth was considering akumatizing Marinette, but when Penny gets frustrated and reaches her RageBreakingPoint, he sighs in relief that he now has alternative since [[BerserkButton he knows how angry Chat Noir would get]] if he chose the former.
* When Penny is akumatized into Troublemaker, Marinette and Adrien quickly jump into action... while Tikki is pretty much pushing Chloé to transform and go help.
* Marigold's meltdown when Chat Noir reveals he saw the show.
* The bonus strip showing [[SarcasmMode "Scarlet clearly taking this very seriously by rushing over"]]:
-->'''Scarlet Lady:''' ''[[[SkewedPriorities looking at several dresses through a window]]]'' Ooo, that'd look great on me!\\
'''Caption:''' Definitely rushing. ''[{{sweatdrop}}s]''
* Even with the fight going on, [[SkewedPriorities Chat Noir can't help but gush about Marinette having so many photos of him]]. He even asks Marigold what she thinks it all means with a blush on his face and sparkles surrounding him.
* When Chat Noir points out that Marigold's Miraculous is very easy to remove, he jokingly says she should glue it down... [[EurekaMoment which gives Marigold the idea to do just that]] in order to get close enough to Troublemaker to use Venom.
** [[DidntThinkThisThrough Unfortunately]], this results in Troublemaker's hand being stuck to Marigold's head until Scarlet Lady presumably uses Lucky Charm to do the WorldHealingWave.
* After subduing Troublemaker, Marigold and Chat Noir wonder why Scarlet Lady isn't showing up. Chat Noir phones her only to hear her phone outside on the roof of the building. It turns out that she was lazing on the balcony the whole time. Understandably, Chat is furious.
-->'''Chat Noir:''' ''[fuming as he pops out of a window next to her]'' '''''HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN HERE?!'''''\\
'''Scarlet Lady:''' ''[jumping out of the lawn chair she was sitting in]'' WAH--!
* Scarlet Lady gives Penny [[RichInDollarsPoorInSense the self-care advice of buying herself a diamond phone case]]. Marigold's expression to that is utterly priceless.
* Marigold panics when Chat Noir mentions Marinette, suddenly reminded that all of Paris saw her collage of Chat Noir photos.
* Penny and Jagged hug after she is deakumatized. He then comments on her ExpositoryHairstyleChange as Troublemaker.
-->'''Jagged Stone:''' Also, the mohawk was hawt.\\
'''Penny Rolling:''' I am not shaving my head for you.\\
'''Jagged Stone:''' Damn.
* Marinette tries to no be seen by anyone at the school the day after, but Adrien finds her instantly. She warns him not to say anything, but Adrien just can't help himself.
-->'''Adrien:''' So...\\
'''Marinette:''' Don't.\\
'''Adrien:''' Um--\\
'''Marinette:''' Do '''not.'''\\
'''Adrien:''' ... about the photos.\\
'''Marinette:''' '''''Ahhh!''''' You said it!
** Then Marinette states [[BlatantLies she's not in love with Chat Noir]] and that being with a superhero would be dangerous while there are supervillains around. She then tries to claim [[SheIsNotMyGirlfriend Chat Noir is just a friend]], but she chokes up on it and starts coughing blood.
--->'''Adrien:''' ''[thinking] '''I have to defeat Hawkmoth A.S.A.P.!'''''\\
'''Caption:''' At least you have some motivation.
* Alya tells her classmates to wear all their Chat Noir merch to (a) help get people off Marinette's back by making it look like she just has a celebrity crush on Chat Noir and (b) rub Chat Noir's growing popularity in Chloé's face.
** Alya then claims she's doing it because Chat Noir doesn't get the recognition he deserves, driving Marinette to tears... as well as Adrien. Nino asks his best friend why ''he's'' so emotional about it.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Intermission 2]]
* Alya decides to do something she swore never to do again: ask Lila for an interview, specifically about her hatred for Scarlet Lady. Lila sparkles and happily holds onto a bemused Alya's arm.
* Adrien attempts to invite Marinette to the ice cream as a platonic thing:
-->'''Marinette:''' Then let's invite Luka and Kagami! Since it's a friend outing!\\
'''Adrien:''' ''[thinking, crying] [[HoistByHisOwnPetard You did this to yourself, Adrien!]]''
* After Rose and Juleka mention that André always thinks they're just "girly friends," Alix boasts about how her aromanticism caused him to have a mental breakdown.
* Nathalie tells Adrien he's forbidden from going out since he has to practice piano. How does he get around this?
-->'''Adrien:''' Man, Plagg. It sure sucks that '''''Adrien''''' isn't allowed out.\\
'''Plagg:''' U-huh.\\
'''Adrien:''' ''[puts on some piano music from his phone]'' And that '''''Adrien''''' has to practice piano.\\
'''Plagg:''' Sure.\\
'''Adrien:''' ''[clenching his fists as tears well in his eyes]'' And that '''''[[OverlyLongGag Adrien--]]'''''\\
'''Plagg:''' I '''''get''''' it already, [[LoopholeAbuse just suit up]]!
** Then it turns out Kagami's [[NotSoAboveItAll also fooling her mother to hang out with her friends]].
--->'''Kagami:''' Oh nooo! Looks like the fencing team strategy meeting isn't '''''here.''''' Seems like I've given my mother the wrong information~♥\\

'''Kagami:''' '''Dammit!''' You've bested me '''''again,''''' Agreste!\\
'''Nino:''' [[LampshadeHanging Why have you turned being a delinquent child into a competition?]]
* When Adrien, Marinette, Luka, and Kagami are waiting for their turn, the former three are really interested in the next ice cream while Kagami just looks bored.
** In the same panel, André runs the volume and plane equations for a cone in his head similar to the "Confused Math Lady" meme when confronted with [[LoveDodecahedron Adrien, Marinette, Luka, and Kagami]] all standing next to each other.
--->'''Caption:''' Andre, just learn about polyamory already and this wouldn't be so hard for you!
* Kagami takes André to task for his business model (not using gloves, not posting his location, deciding his clients' orders without caring for allergies, etc)... until André makes her a Marigold cone, upon which [[NotSoAboveItAll she does a 180 while blushing]].
* Luka asks for platonic ice cream, stating his belief that the best relationships are the ones people work on. André replies that his ice cream can unite people with their true loves--[[OpenMouthInsertFoot like Luka's parents]].
-->'''Luka:''' ''[DeathGlare]'' I don't '''''have''''' a papa.\\
'''André:''' ''[sweating]'' Er, one friendship ice cream, coming right up.
* Nino decides that next time, they should just bring couples while Mylène hopes the four don't break André.
-->'''Caption:''' Screw that noise, FinishHim
* Chloé suddenly shows up and completely ignores how hard Adrien is trying to get away from her as she asks for ice cream. André becomes confused as he attempts to understand who gets the next cone.
* After André presents Adrien with a what looks like a Scarlet Lady cone, he rejects it. Then [[LoonyFan Wayhem]] shows up, [[ScrewThisImOuttaHere causing Adrien to take off running]].
-->'''Nathalie:''' Adrien? I saw a post about you being outside at the Pont--\\
'''Adrien:''' Hahaha, how could that be possible [[BlatantLies when I've been here the whole time]]?!\\
'''Nathalie:''' ... right.
* After Kagami tells Chloé off, Luka thanks her--while keeping Chloé at arm's length as she tries to get him to share his ice cream with her.
* Hawkmoth akumatizing Glaciator:
-->'''Glaciator:''' I'll give Adrien Agreste a double scoop and freeze him where he stands!
-->'''Hawkmoth:''' Haha, [[DelayedReaction wait]], [[OhCrap who-]]
* Chloé thinks the Scarlet Lady cone was meant for Adrien and shows up at his home in her heroine identity. Adrien hears her and ''immediately'' sports a ThisIsGonnaSuck face. Fortunately, Glaciator shows up, allowing Adrien to slam the security system in her face.
-->'''Adrien:''' [[DeadpanSnarker Oh noooo, duty calls Scarlet Lady.]]
* Marigold indicates Glaciator seems to be ignoring couples, and Scarlet Lady acts disgusted at the idea of faking being a couple to either of the other two heroes, only to ask why they aren't begging her to be the fake girlfriend. Then she notices that Chat Noir and Marigold have disappeared already.
* Chat Noir and Marigold as a couple:
-->'''Chat Noir:''' Alright, let's sell this, honey bee!\\
'''Marigold:''' ''[grinning like mad]'' Huh? Ooh, well, if we gotta! Heehee!
* Marigold's reaction when Chat Noir tells a deakumatized André that they're JustFriends.
* André is unnerved when Adrien comments that the cone he receives from the ice cream man at the end reminds him of ''two'' people.

[[folder:Silencer: Tales of Luka the Musician]]
* Chloé makes sure that XY gets his meal for free but tells her father that he can still charge Bob Roth. Bob Roth, who is right next to her, is not amused.
* While Chloé is crushing on XY like there is no tomorrow, the latter barely acknowledges her.
* Bob Roth and XY planning their plagiarism right in front of Chloé. When they start their EvilLaugh, she wholeheartedly approves:
-->'''Chloé:''' ''[thinking while smiling and blushing] Ahhh, my people.''\\
'''Caption:''' Get better standards Chlo.
* Adrien actually ''cries'' when he sees how cool Kitty Section's submission for Bob Roth's contest looks. Plagg even pats his face to comfort him.
* It turns out that XY hired Chloé as his personal designer. He still keeps getting her name wrong.
* When Luka and Marinette call the plagiarists out, Chloé acts as if she is emotionally hurt:
-->'''Chloé:''' ''[pleading]'' Mon Chouka! I worked so hard on that mask! Are you calling me a '''''liar?'''''\\
'''Luka:''' ''[beyond furious]'' [[ShoutOut I'm not calling you a truther!]]
* When Hawkmoth akumatizes Luka's mask as Chloé is ranting about how hard it was to copy Marinette's designs, Luka puts on the mask with ''barely any hesitation,'' then [[FlippingTheBird flips off Chloé with both hands as he transforms]].
-->'''Chloé:''' W-What's that look for?! [[NeverMyFault I did nothing wrong!]] I'm just saying with '''''your''''' looks you could go solo, like XY! You just have to ditch your loser friends! [[KickTheDog And]] '''''[[KickTheDog forget]]''''' [[KickTheDog about Dupain-Cheng!]] Her designs are '''''way''''' too complicated! [[NotHelpingYourCase Do you know how hard it was to copy them?]] And also-- ''[sees Luka mid-akumatization]'' [[OhCrap Oh Σ%$#.]]
* When Luka confesses his feelings for Marinette, she thinks that it's the most romantic thing she's ever heard. Unfortunately, he did so hand puppet motions and using [[{{Jerkass}} XY]]'s voice. Marinette's hilarious facial expression says it all.
* Pollen is definitely shipping her queen with Luka.
* Things do not go well for Marigold upon arriving on the scene. First, Bob Ross uses her as a HumanShield, which leads to Silencer quickly stealing her voice. Then, when Scarlet Lady arrives, she begins to [[TemptingFate taunt her over it]]... only for Silencer to use that as an opening and [[LaserGuidedKarma steal her voice as well]]. He even says, "An opening!" using Marigold's voice. Marigold's face says it all.
* The girls text arguing over who has to text Chat Noir.
* Upon finding out that Scarlet Lady had her voice stolen, Chat Noir immediately teases the angry and frustrated heroine. When he learns that Marigold also had her voice stolen, though, Chat Noir immediately gives her a hug and declares he will help her recover her voice right away. Scarlet Lady is seething and [[FlippingTheBird flips him off]].
* Chat Noir and Marigold plot out how to deal with their current situation via texting--to which Scar contributes with a selfie.
-->'''Chat Noir:''' ''[seeing the selfie]'' [[SarcasmMode Thanks for the contribution, Scar.]]\\
'''Caption:''' Just let the grown-ups talk, Scar.
* While Chat Noir distracts Silencer, Marigold sneaks Bob Roth away... [[ComplainingAboutRescuesTheyDontLike only for him to promptly begins to make an ass of himself]]. Marigold ties him up and leaves him out of the way, giving Chat Noir a SlasherSmile when he asks where she was.
** Meanwhile, Scarlet Lady is... snuggling a tied up and very annoyed XY.
* Since Marigold tricks Silencer into summoning Venom for her instead of Lucky Charm, she brings along a net to catch the voices with, which the rest of Kitty Section are confused about. Apparently, she found it in the dressing room, not knowing [[NoodleImplements what it was doing there]].
* Marigold goes to give Scarlet Lady's voice back so she can purify the akuma and use the Miraculous Cure, but Scar is disgusted at the thought of having to put it in her mouth. Marigold then begins to take the voice for herself, causing Scar to immediately change her mind.
* Bob Roth [[FailedASpotCheck fails to notice]] Chat Noir [[EngineeredPublicConfession aiming a camera at him]] as the executive berates Luka:
-->'''Bob:''' Serves you right, thinking you could make me tell the truth! Like I'd admit I stole Kitty Section's song and look for my son! '''''Ha!''''' ...Uh, why are you smiling?\\
'''Marigold:''' Because Bob Roth, you're on Candid Camera!\\
'''Chat Noir:''' ''[waving]'' Smile!\\
'''Bob:''' '''[[OhCrap GAH!]]'''
* When Bob Roth pretends that he was just joking, tries to talk his way out of the mess he got himself into, and announces a record deal for Kitty Section, he's asked if they can get that in writing.
* Jagged Stone decides to make obvious his dislike of Bob Roth's attempt to plagiarize and threaten Marinette and Kitty Section in the most dramatic possible way: get Roth to a dark room and turn on a spotlight just to scare the crap out of his producer.
--->'''Jagged Stone:''' ''[turning a spotlight on]'' Bob.\\
'''Bob Roth:''' '''''Eeeekk!'''''\\
'''Jagged Stone:''' Let's talk about you threatening my favorite designer. And my ki-- uh, her friends.

[[folder:Desperada: Tales of Vivica the Guitarist]]
* Marinette keeps stuttering and blushing around Luka, which just gets worse when Luka shows her how to play the guitar using the good old HandsOnApproach. [[ImStandingRightHere Her friends meanwhile are just watching in awkward silence]], trying to figure what the hell is going between the two of them.
* Once again, Adrien and Kagami have "mistakenly" gotten the address for their fencing practice wrong and end at the Couffaine's houseboat where their friends are. Their friends seem a little exasperated at the two keeping up the "innocent act."
* Adrien sees Marinette with Luka and becomes jealous immediately. Kagami meanwhile looks nervous standing next to him like he's a bomb about to go off any minute.
** Upon hearing that Luka confessed to Marinette, Adrien is seen with an EyeTwitch.
* After being "saved" by Jagged Stone, Marinette has an adorable meltdown.
* When Chloé shows up, she immediately demands compensation from Jagged for her shoes that Fang ate at the end of "Silencer." The rockstar is just annoyed at this point and tells her to send Bob the bill.
* Upon being turned into an akuma, Desperada calls Jagged out for trying to replace her with "a kid." How does Jagged reply?
-->'''Jagged Stone:''' Vivica, ''[[{{Hypocrite}} you're only two years older than him]]''.\\
'''Caption:''' (Pst, Jagged you're not supposed to '''''know''''' how old Luka is).
* When Desperada attacks Luka, Marigold uses her top's rope to fling Desperada away.

* Marigold leads everyone to the sewers. Scarlet Lady keeps hopping from foot to foot and saying "Ew!"
** The boys gladly skedaddle when Marigold suggests for them to hide--because they really don't want to be near Scarlet Lady. Scar is crying in despair while reaching out to them.
** Chat Noir's voicemail message:
--->'''Voicemail:''' Chat got your tongue? Leave a message!
** Adrien runs around the corner and transforms into Chat Noir.
--->'''Marigold:''' Chat Noir!\\
'''Scarlet Lady:''' Why are you sweating?\\
'''Chat Noir:''' Eheheh!\\
'''Narration:''' Ran
* When Scarlet Lady realizes that Chat Noir is going to give out another Miraculous, she assumes he will give it to Adrien. Surprisingly, Marigold ''[[ActuallyAGoodIdea actually agrees with Scar]]'' that Adrien would make a good Miraculous user.
** Adrien decides to go along with it, telling Plagg that [[DeliberateUnderPerformance he plans to do badly on purpose]] so that he won't be called on again. What makes it funnier is that [[StrangeMindsThinkAlike this is similar to Marinette outing herself as Multimouse in "Puppeteer,"]] but he has no idea of it.
* Scarlet Lady fighting Marigold to be the one to give Adrien a Miraculous.
* As part of pretending to have never seen a Kwami before, Adrien asks if Sass is a genie. Sass seems annoyed by it.
** Plagg's not amused either. What makes it even funnier is that the author posted a close up of the frame he's in. (he's behind Sass if you missed him.)
* Aspik gleefully abusing Second Chance to get revenge on Scarlet Lady over and over, tripping and shoving and even using her as a human shield one time. Whenever she gets caught by Desperada, he just starts again.
-->'''[[EveryoneHasStandards Marigold]]:''' Aspik..?\\
'''Aspik:''' Don't worry. '''''You won't remember this.'''''
** At one point, Aspik tells Scar he's not only Adrien Agreste but also Chat Noir just to see her utterly horrified reaction.
--->'''Aspik:''' '''''Yesss, that's the face I wanted!''''' Second Chance!
* After "trying" multiple times, Adrien returns the Miraculous to Marigold. Then Luka shows up, asking about Adrien, but when Marigold turns around, [[StealthHiBye Adrien has already disappeared]]. Chat Noir shows up immediately afterwards, sweating buckets from all the running he's had to do.
* It turns out that the Eiffel Tower has been destroyed so many times that the area is now marked as a work hazard zone. Wearing a hard hat is mandatory.
** Viperion notes that the heroes had to have destroyed the Eiffel Tower quite a few times to get that warning. Marigold claims that technically it's the akuma that destroys it... right before Chat Noir uses Cataclysm.
* Scarlet doesn't need help to get hit by Desperada, because she keeps falling for it no matter how many Second Chances are used. Viperion ends up angrily asking if she can chill the [[SymbolSwearing #$%Σ]] out.
-->'''Tags:''' #Aspik didn't need to go as hard as he did Scar is a walking hazard on her own
* When Marigold leaves to return the Snake Miraculous, Scar declares she intends to follow her to finally learn where Chat Noir and Marigold get the Miraculous they give to temporary heroes. Marigold {{Troll}}s her by telling her she has to follow her and Viperion into the sewers. Scar then immediately decides [[ScrewThisImOuttaHere her timer's going off and runs away]].
* After Vivica is deakumatized, Jagged apologizes for firing her and welcomes her back to the band. Anarka knows what's going on, though.
-->'''Anarka:''' You fired her on purpose to play with our kids, didn't you?\\
'''Jagged:''' [[BlatantLies I don't know what you're talking about.]]
* After all the secrecy between Anarka and Jagged, it turns out that Juleka and Luka both already know that Jagged is their father--[[SecretSecretKeeper but Jagged and Anarka don't know that they know]]. Penny is in on the twins' secret and thinks it's hilarious.
** Also, Juleka's final line:
--->'''Juleka:''' Well, at least [[ShipperOnDeck we get a cool step-manager]].\\
'''Penny Rolling:''' ''[SpitTake]''
* After Luka assures Marinette that he doesn't mind her being "weird," Marinette replies that she'll always be his friend.
-->'''Luka:''' That said, I'm gonna compliment you a '''''lot''''' more to bring out Blushy Marinette.\\
'''Marinette:''' ''[with a LuminescentBlush]'' '''''[[BigNo NOOOOOOO!]]'''''
* Kagami asks Adrien why he hasn't asked Marinette out yet. His reply?
-->'''Adrien:''' There's an obstacle. A big, tall, annoying, dumb obstacle with bad fashion sense and is '''''so selfish!'''''\\
'''Kagami:''' I understand. [[AccidentalTruth Your father]] '''''is''''' a difficult person to overcome.\\
'''Adrien:''' '''''Eh?'''''\\
'''Narration:''' Meant Hawkmoth.

[[folder:Ikari Gozen: Tales of Tomoe the Swordswoman]]
* Kagami is fighting her mother when her phone dings.
-->'''Tomoe:''' What was '''''that.'''''\\
'''Kagami:''' ''[with a heavily sweating face]'' [[OhCrap Um...]]
* When Tomoe forbids Kagami from playing the game to find Adrien, Kagami internally notes that she's "going to play ''even harder'' now."
* As Chloé searches the park for a pair of buddies to tag along with so that they can do all the work of finding Adrien, Tikki questions why she didn't just sign up. As it turns out, Chloé ''did'' do that, but her application was denied for "some reason" (she's still banned from contests involving the Gabriel brand due to her plagiarism in "Mr. Pigeon").
-->'''Caption:''' ''Can't imagine why that would be, Chloe.''
* Chloé keeps trying to sabotage Marinette and Kagami, but to her frustration, all her efforts backfire. [[NiceJobFixingItVillain They even end up solving the riddles faster because of her.]]
* Chloé steals Kagami's phone just as Tomoe calls and wastes no time in tattling on Kagami with utter glee. Meanwhile, Kagami and Marinette attempt to get the phone back as they wonder how Chloé can run so fast.
** Kagami begins to tell off her mother, only to get an unpleasant surprise.
--->'''Kagami:''' Actually, okaa-san, I '''''do''''' have friends! '''''Lots''''' of friends! '''''Wonderful''''' friends! Friends '''''I chose myself''''' because I'm '''''done''''' with you '''''controlling my life--'''''\\
'''Ikari Gozen:''' With pleasure, Hawkmoth.\\
'''Kagami:''' '''[[CatharticScream Ughhhhhh!]]'''
* When Ikari Gozen attempts to grab Kagami, [[LaserGuidedKarma she ends up grabbing Chloé instead]], who later complains about [[SkewedPriorities how there's no Bluetooth inside the akuma's stomach]].
* Adrien is waiting for the winners of the contest when the akuma alert sounds out. He transforms and leaves whistling.
* With no Scarlet Lady in sight, Chat Noir and Marigold decide it's time to get a Miraculous. Chat mentions that one of them will have to stay with Kagami--who quickly clings to Marigold.
** Later, Marigold has to BridalCarry Kagami to escape Ikari Gozen. As far as Kagami is concerned, Chat doesn't need to rush.
* When Chat Noir gives Kagami the Dragon Miraculous:
-->'''Kagami:''' ''[surrounded by sparkles]'' Yes, I am grateful you recognize me as the perfect candidate.
* As Longg explains to Kagami what she can do, she's so eager to become a hero that she says the trigger phrase before Longg is done.
* When Ryūko hears Chat Noir calling Scarlet Lady "Scar."
-->'''Ryūko:''' "Scar"? You call your leader Scar?\\
'''Chat Noir:''' Gross, Scar's not the leader. She's a mascot at best.
* Marigold comes up with a plan and asks the others to distract Ikari Gozen. Ryūko seems [[SlasherSmile awfully eager]] to fight her mother's akuma.
* When Ikari Gozen reveals her FreudianExcuse for not letting Kagami have friends...
-->'''Chloé:''' Stop having your soap opera moment and '''''GET ME OUT!'''''
* When Ryūko lets herself get imprisoned (which is part of the plan), Chloé calls her a loser for getting caught ([[HypocriticalHumor despite having been caught first herself]]). A box of bath bombs immediately lands right on Chloé's head and shuts her up ([[NoSympathy much to Ryūko's delight]]).
* Ikari Gozen literally vormits the messed up Chloé out of her body.
-->'''Chloé:''' I '''''HATE YOU''''' PUKE-KO!
* When Scarlet Lady ''finally'' arrives to the fight, neither Chat nor Ryūko are interested in her antics and quickly drag her towards Ikari Gozen.
-->'''Scarlet Lady:''' Worry not, my poor, lost sidekicks, '''I''' have arrived--\\
'''Chat Noir:''' Hurry up, we need the cure!\\
'''Scarlet Lady:''' '''''HEY!'''''
* When Scarlet Lady crows about getting Chloé to safety, she gets her ego punctured when Tomoe asks her who she is.
-->'''Caption:''' You're a fool if you think Tomoe cares about you or the "other" you, Scarlet Lady.
* The tags at the end state that the other heroes likely ignored how Scarlet Lady was dripping in soapy water (from the bath bombs Ryūko used to get Chloé out of Ikari Gozen) by assuming the heroine was in the shower the entire time.
* When Longg calls Kagami out for interrupting him, she immediately apologizes and addresses him as "Kamisama." [[EasilyForgiven He quickly forgives her]] and even pats her head while wagging his tail.
* Kagami gets tackle-hugged from behind by an overexcited Marinette.
* The Gorilla can be seen [[NotSoAboveItAll making bunny ears behind Aurore's head]] in the winning photo of the contest with his usual stony expression.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Crocoduel: Tales of You Two Again?!]]
* The sheer fact that, due to the punctuation of the header, it sounds annoyed over the fact that the akuma is a repeat instead of someone new.
* Luka not divulging his exact age to Lila becomes a BrickJoke as the latter becomes determined to find out the truth:
** When Lila asks Luka how old he is turning on his birthday, Luka teasingly tells her that [[VagueAge he'll be one year older than last year]]. The annoyed Lila calls him a smartass.
** Lila then deduces that Luka and Juleka are twins because they have the same birthday, only for Luka to {{Troll}} her by suggesting that they might have been born on the same day years apart, all while Juleka has a SeenItAll look, implying this isn't the first time her brother's pulled this on others.
** Luka seemingly concedes defeat when Lila declares that he and Juleka must be twins if they're both Jagged's kids. However, as Lila walks away congratulating herself, he mentally notes that she still doesn't know just how old he and Juleka are turning.
* Juleka tells Marinette that she knows who her father is and that he doesn't get along with her mother. Marinette immediately asks Juleka if he's a cop.
* Marinette's reaction when Juleka tells her that [[OnlySaneByComparison between her parents, her mother's the responsible one]].
* Since he's Gabriel's son, Adrien [[SeenItAll doesn't bat an eye]] at Juleka and Luka's dad being someone who can't enter a cinema without causing a scene and has a manager they must talk through. Marinette, in the other hand, has wide eyes and {{Sweat Drop}}s.
* Marinette is confused when Jagged Stone shows up at the birthday party. When she finally gets it, her face is priceless. Juleka's sheepish reaction and NotSoInnocentWhistle only makes it better.
* Anarka immediately finds Jagged despite his attempts at being sneaky... [[EpicFail because he parked his tour bus right on the dock]].
* Marinette, Luka, and Juleka realize the twins' parents are about to get akumatized.
-->'''Juleka and Luka:''' [[ThisIsGonnaSuck Happy birthday to us.]]
* Even Hawkmoth is surprised about whom he's akumatizing:
-->'''Hawkmoth:''' What? [[TitleDrop You two again?]]
* Everyone at the party is so distracted watching the two akumas that [[FailedASpotCheck they don't notice Adrien and Marinette sneaking off right behind them so they can transform]].
* Tikki tries to get Chloé to transform, but she complains that [[JerkassHasAPoint she can't fly to where the villains are despite being a Ladybug superhero]].
-->'''Chloé:''' Make me able to fly!
-->'''Tikki:''' No.
* Scar [[TemptingFate gleefully mocks Marigold and Chat Noir]] when Guitar Villain and Captain Hardrock simply ignore the two superheroes. The villains then quickly yell at her that they're ignoring her, too.
* When Marigold and Chat Noir realize that they forgot to carry their potions with them, their awkward reactions are hilarious.
* While Chat Noir goes off to retrieve more Miraculous, Marigold pulls the unwilling Scar into protecting civilians.
-->'''Scar:''' [[BigNO Noooooo!]]\\
'''Juleka:''' ...Maybe we should pitch in and help.
* When Fu asks why Adrien doesn't have the space potion on him, Adrien points out that he can't be expected to carry weird colored cheese all the time. Plagg immediately calls him out for being a coward.
* Alya, Mylène, and Lila watch as Captain Hardrock and Guitar Villain argue and reveal what happened between them, with Lila eager to learn all their secrets. Alya's glasses even ''crack'' from the shock.
-->'''Captain Hardrock:''' You only every cared about your music! That's why you dumped me when you started climbing the charts!\\
'''Alya:''' Whoa.\\
'''Lila:''' Omigod the tea.\\
'''Guitar Villain:''' Have you caught sea madness?! '''''You''''' dumped '''''me'''''! And didn't even tell me you were pregnant, and '''''blocked''''' me from my '''''own kids!'''''\\
'''Alya:''' '''''What?!'''''\\
'''Lila:''' Ohohomighod the '''''tea!'''''
* Chat Noir and Marigold take Luka and Juleka with them to lend them each a Miraculous while a furious Scar is ignored and left behind.
-->'''Scar:''' What about '''''me?!'''''
* When Chat Noir uses his staff to send Marigold and Purple Tigress flying, Scarlet Lady tries to join them... only to get hit with a satisfying [[WrittenSoundEffect "WHACK!"]]
* Marigold and Purple Tigress manage to snatch the broken record pieces and snap them over their knees... and then go OhCrap when the butterfly doesn't show up.
* When the heroes try to understand where the akuma is, Purple Tigress and Viperion each realize the other's secret identity:
-->'''Purple Tigress and Viperion:''' [[SpeakInUnison I saw the akuma go in before it was broken--]] ''[[[SomethingOnlyTheyWouldSay glare at each other]]]''
* When Purple Tigress punches Captain Hardrock and Guitar Villain with Clout, Viperion and Chat Noir are so shocked they are {{Jaw Drop}}ping, and the latter Cataclysms the akumatized object without looking at it.
* Juleka tells Marigold she knows Viperion's real identity and suspects Viperion knows hers. Marigold breaks into a cold sweat.
-->'''Marigold:''' I-It's fine. Probably.\\
'''Juleka:''' Are you '''''sure?''''' You don't '''''look''''' fine.\\
'''Marigold:''' Nah, it's '''''probably''''' cool.
* Juleka tells off her parents for their arguments.
-->'''Anarka:''' J-Juleka, there's something you don't know about this ship rat--\\
'''Juleka:''' What, that he's my '''''dad?'''''\\
'''Anarka/Jagged Stone:''' You '''''knew?!'''''\\
'''Juleka:''' I've '''''always''''' known. And now so does '''''[[EverybodyKnewAlready all of Paris]]'''''.
* Anarka and Jagged ''finally'' compare notes... and realize ''who'' actually caused their break up.
-->'''Jagged Stone:''' Bob '''''gave me''''' your letter! It said you wanted '''''nothing to do with me!''''' It didn't even mention the kids!\\
'''Anarka:''' Have you swallowed sea water?! '''''Bob''''' gave me '''''your letter''''' and it said you wanted nothing to do with '''''me!''''' Right after '''''I''''' told Bob I was pregnant--\\
''[[ExplainExplainOhCrap [beat] ]]''\\
'''Anarka and Jagged Stone:''' '''''[[RageBreakingPoint BOB!]]'''''\\
''[DistantReactionShot]''\\
'''Bob Roth:''' Why do I feel a sudden chill..?\\
'''Caption:''' That's the dread of your paycheck suddenly being in jeopardy Bob.
* Jagged finally decides to leave Bob Roth's record label, but his resignation letter is worded instead as a notice of termination for ''Bob'', even though he owns the company. The fact that Bob himself initially seems to fall for it when he first reads it and does a SpitTake, all while he's implicitly just run up a ShockinglyExpensiveBill at a fancy restaurant, makes it even better.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Robostus: Tales of Markov the Robot]]
* Marinette finds Max talking to something in his bag, telling it that it's his best friend. When Pollen asks if Max's best friend lives in his bag, Marinette states it doesn't make sense... [[HypocriticalHumor and then asks Pollen if the Kwami has enough spicy chips in her bag]].
* When Chloé attempts to insult Markov (as well as Max's skills in creating him) by claiming her hair dryer is more advanced, Marinette snarks that the only one less advanced than a hair dryer is Chloé herself.
* Marinette asking Mlle. Mendeleiev to let her go to the principal's office and get Markov.
-->'''Mendeleiev:''' No! And I'm done with this topic!
-->'''Marinette:''' Could it be Markov was right and you're jealous of a '''''robot?'''''
-->'''Mendeleiev:''' '''''Enough! Principal's office! Now!'''''
-->'''Marinette:''' [[{{Unishment}} Thank you!]]
-->'''Mendeleiev:''' [[DidntThinkThisThrough ...wait.]]
* Hawkmoth wonders [[{{Foreshadowing}} why he feels uneasy about telling Robostus about the Miraculous's wish-granting power]].
** The {{Flat What}}s Hawkmoth ''and'' Marigold have when Robostus declares ''he'' will use the wish and become a real human.
* By the time Marinette reaches the principal's office, Markov has already transformed into Robostus and is attacking Damocles, prompting her to wordlessly turn around.
* Max escapes from Robostus, telling him he will stop him so he can get Markov back. Robostus seemingly "cries" in response.
-->'''Robostus:''' Top 10 human betrayals. No. 5 will surprise you.
* Adrien asks Fu for a new Miraculous, and Fu gives him the Horse.
-->'''Fu:''' Now, Adrien, I must stress that this is a '''''very useful and important Miraculous''''' and it needs to be treated with the '''''utmost''''' care.\\
'''Adrien:''' Uh, of course, Master Fu, but why is '''''this one''''' so special?\\
'''Fu:''' ''Because without it [[MundaneUtility I can't get my hometown speciality tea]] [[HypocriticalHumor any time I want]]''.
* The RunningGag of putting more emphasis on how impressive Markov's creation is continues with Kaalki, who gets Max's creation of an "evolving artificial intelligence" as his "glorious and famous" feat. Kaalki can only "surmise" that this is impressive.
* Pegasus and Scarlet Lady's first meeting quickly descends into a slap fight between the two, with Pegasus holding the Ladybug heroine off with one hand behind his back. Chat Noir has to yell at them to knock it off.
* Natalie reveals a CargoShip with her tablet after Robustus is defeated.
-->'''Gabriel:''' N-Nathalie, order new missiles for the lair.\\
'''Nathalie:''' Yes Sir, and some tablet protectors.\\
'''Gabriel:''' ? Sure. I'm going to... lie down.\\
'''Nathalie:''' ''[to her tablet, after Gabriel leaves]'' You know I love you the most, right?

[[folder:Prime Queen: Tales of Nadja the Reporter]]
* When talking to Marinette on the phone, Lila suggests Chat Noir and Marigold could "tie [Scarlet Lady] to the chair so she behaves." Marinette, who was in Marigold mode at the time, says, [[ActuallyAGoodIdea "That's not a bad idea."]]
* When Nadja asks about Scarlet Lady, Chat Noir says she'll be there "at the last possible second." A bonus panel reveals that Chloé is indeed waiting for the right time to make an entrance worthy of her stardom.
* The first caller is Alya, who asks Chat Noir and Marigold if they are willing to give an interview for the ''Ladyblog''. When Scarlet Lady points out Alya missed her, Alya [[DeadpanSnarker deadpans]] that her blog's fans want the ''real'' heroes of Paris, [[SnubByOmission not her]].
** When the twins ask about Koki Marina, Marigold states that the Turtle heroine is a great hero that will eventually return. Cut to Alya blushing [[SarcasmMode for no apparent reason]].
** And, of course, Alya's sheer RefugeInAudacity in asking the heroes for an interview ''during Nadja's interview with the heroes''.
* The second caller is [[{{Troll}} Lila]]. Scar begins mocking her, but Lila cracks to Marigold and Chat Noir, "How do you put up with Scarlet Lady when she's the worst?" Naturally, Scar bursts into anger while Marigold and Chat nervously try their best to answer with how [[BlatantLies Scar is an important asset]], only for Lila to translate:
-->'''Lila:''' [[BrutalHonesty So you put up with her because you have to. Got it.]]\\
''' Nadja:''' ''[exasperated]'' Goodbye, caller.
* Under orders to get control of the show, Nadja asks the heroes about the rumors of them being a couple.
-->'''Scarlet Lady:''' Gross. As if I'd '''''ever''''' be a couple with '''''either''''' of these sidekicks!\\
'''Nadja:''' Um... I'm referring to "[=ChatGold=]." No one seems to care about '''''your''''' love life.\\
'''Scarlet Lady:''' '''''WHAT?!'''''
** Chat Noir and Marigold refuse to comment, so Nadja pulls out the big guns: [[CallBack a photo of them kissing during the Dark Cupid incident]].
--->'''Chat Noir:''' [[OhCrap Oh]] [[LuminescentBlush no.]]\\
'''Marigold:''' '''''[[BigWhat WH]][[LuminescentBlush AT?!]]'''''\\
'''Scarlet Lady:''' [[UnusuallyUninterestingSight Oh, that.]]
* As Nadja attempts to force a LoveConfession out of Chat Noir and Marigold by bombarding them with images of [[CallBack various cute moments they had together]], Scarlet Lady interrupts:
-->'''Scarlet Lady:''' '''''OH KNOCK IT OFF ALREADY!!!''''' I'm at my [[SymbolSwearing #$%&ing]] limit!
** Poor Marigold is shown to have BlankWhiteEyes from the sheer shock of Nadja's presentation, with a fuming Scarlet Lady helping Chat lead her out.
** The fact that despite Scarlet Lady [[ScrewThisImOuttaHere wanting to leave]] because [[ItsAllAboutMe Nadja wasn't focusing enough on her]], Chat Noir ''[[ActuallyAGoodIdea actually agrees]]'', if only so he and Marigold can stop being bothered by Nadja's insistence that they're dating.
** After the show blows up, one of the techies asks [[LampshadeHanging a rather obvious question]] (likely intended as a jab towards "Troublemaker"):
--->'''Techie:''' Do you think we'd have a better success rate if every show at our station wasn't '''''live?'''''
* After Nadja has turned into Prime Queen, she makes a return. Lila has something to say.
-->'''Lila:''' What a dumpster fire.\\
'''Prime Queen:''' Good evening! Welcome to your new show! I'm your hostess, Prime Queen!\\
'''Lila:''' [[DeadpanSnarker ... Of course.]]
** Prime Queen states her intentions:
--->'''Prime Queen:''' Tonight, Marigold and Chat Noir disappointed their fans by refusing to admit they're a couple in love!\\
'''Chat Noir, Marigold, and Scarlet Lady:''' ''[[[SpeakInUnison simultaneously]]]'' [[YouHaveGotToBeKiddingMe You've got to be kidding me.]]
** And, in order to force the duo to admit their feelings, she kidnaps Lila--by reaching through the TV screen.
--->'''Lila:''' What the heck, why '''''me?!'''''
** Prime Queen puts Lila into a train that will crash unless the akuma gets her way. Lila is most definitely ''not'' happy.
--->'''Lila:''' Nadja, you idiot, you just kidnapped your own babysitter!
** Scarlet Lady's SkewedPriorities remain obvious:
--->'''Prime Queen:''' Will you dare to go through the screen to save your dear little Lila?\\
'''Scarlet Lady:''' [[RefuseToRescueTheDisliked As if I'd get my nails dirty for the superliar.]]\\
'''Chat Noir:''' It's being broadcasted live.\\
'''Scarlet Lady:''' '''''[[AttentionWhore OUT OF MY WAY!]]'''''
** Prime Queen establishes the goal: either Chat Noir and Marigold admit they are in love, or the train crashes.
--->'''Chat Noir:''' A forced confession is as good as a false confession!\\
'''Prime Queen:''' I '''''want''''' my '''''scoop!'''''\\
'''Marigold:''' Seriously, why does anyone even care about this?!\\
'''Lila:''' [[DeadpanSnarker If it helps, I care more about the "not crashing" part.]]
* Marigold confesses she's in love with Chat Noir, but Prime Queen [[MovingTheGoalposts states it's not enough]] and demands them to give her the Miraculous if they want to prove their love.
-->'''Scarlet Lady:''' '''''Gross.''''' I'm not in love with '''''either''''' of these cretins. And I will do no such thing!\\
'''Prime Queen:''' Oh, I forgot you were there.\\
'''Scarlet Lady:''' '''''[[CurseCutShort YOU-!]]'''''\\
'''Caption:''' We all did, Prime Queen.
* Prime Queen shows she has kidnapped Alya, and [[RefuseToRescueTheDisliked Scarlet Lady complains about having to save her since Alya had snubbed her]]. Lila promptly shoves the heroine into the television.
-->'''''Lila: HURRY UP SO I CAN GO BACK TO MY ROOM!'''''
* Chat Noir confessing [[LovesMyAlterEgo he's in love with Marinette Dupain-Cheng]] causes Marigold to experience a ColorFailure.
* Later that night, Lila hears that Nadja wants to interview Alya... on a ''new'' show she's hosting.
-->'''Lila:''' All that melodrama over her dumb show being cancelled, and they just '''''handed her a new one?!'''''

!!Season 5
[[folder:Zombizou: Tales of Caline the Teacher]]
* Adrien is distracted with his thought that Marinette may be Marigold, and Plagg warns him that telling Fu may lead to him losing the Miraculous. Meanwhile...
-->'''Marinette:''' Pollen, should I try to find out Chat Noir's identity?\\
'''Pollen:''' [[YesMan Whatever you think is best!]]
* One of the things Lila likes the most about Mme. Bustier is the "morning compliment time"--because she gets to engage in PassiveAggressiveKombat full of {{Backhanded Compliment}}s with [[HatedByAll Chloé]].
* When Chloé's sabotage of Marinette's present is shown, [[SmugSnake the former doesn't even bother hiding that she did it]].
* Mme. Bustier takes Marinette outside the classroom to speak with her, asking Alya to ensure things don't get out of hand. Alya assures her she'll keep everyone right on track... while the entire class is giving a Grade-1 CollectiveDeathGlare (yes, even [[NiceGirl Rose]]) to [[HatedByAll Chloé]], who is sweating buckets.
* Hawkmoth sends the butterfly to akumatize Marinette... while praying that it will be worth the risk.
-->'''Caption:''' Hawkmoth is really at the end of his rope here.
* Hawkmoth changes his mind and picks Mme. Bustier, but he's aware that she will target Marinette, so he's still worried about Chat Noir's reaction.
-->'''Hawkmoth:''' Well, switching from the girl to someone upset with the girl is '''''marginally''''' better, I '''''guess.''''' In for a penny, in for a pound.\\
'''Caption:''' "I mean, I already sent out the butterfly."
* When Chloé witnesses Mme. Bustier being akumatized, she tries to sneak away until she hears Bustier saying she'll start with Marinette.
* Sabrina is Zombizou's first victim, and she ends up tackling Lila to kiss her.
-->'''Lila:''' Sabrina! Stop smearing your lip gloss all over me! [[ComicallyMissingThePoint Now's not the time to realize how amazing I am!]]
* Nathaniel attempts to warn everyone in art club about Zombizou, only for the akuma to show up [[RightBehindMe right behind him]]. Nathaniel's OhCrap face is hilarious.
-->'''Caption:''' Bye bye, Nathaniel ''(crying emoji)''
** Also, if you look carefully, you'll notice that Nathaniel's shirt says [[MythologyGag G.O.A.T.]].
* Adrien fakes having fallen for Zombizou's effect.
-->'''Adrien:''' Oh noo, I-I feel faint. I think I- ugh, ki-kissou--\\
'''Nino:''' Dude, I love you but not enough to makeout with your zombie, '''''stay away!'''''\\
'''Caption:''' Sooo, [[HoYay if he WASN'T a zombie...?]]
* When Max is caught by the zombies, he asks the others to hit Zombizou extra hard, because being kissed is very uncomfortable for him.
* Kim pushes Scarlet Lady off the roof while shouting at her to get on with saving everyone.
* Scar getting instant LaserGuidedKarma when she's the one that gets kissed instead of Marinette is worth a chuckle.
** For extra {{Irony}}, she's kissed by Chat Noir, AKA Adrien Agreste, the boy she likes.
** Plus, there's Scar's SkewedPriorities:
-->'''Scarlet Lady:''' Ew ew '''''ew, CAT LIPS!'''''
** Not to mention Marinette's [[ThousandYardStare utterly mortified expression]] when she finally gets a chance to transform.
* The next day, Marinette apologizes to her classmates for causing Mme. Bustier to be akumatized by going off on her. The others actually think it was awesome, with several of them holding a bit of a grudge against their teacher for what she lets Chloé get away with.
** Then they declare they'd be willing to jump in front of a hundred akumas to protect Marinette.
--->'''Marinette:''' Thanks, but '''''PLEASE DON'T'''''!

[[folder:The Mime: Tales of Fred the Performer]]
* Marinette is speaking with Pollen as she tries to narrow down Chat Noir's SecretIdentity when Alya shows up all of a sudden and asks who Marinette's talking to. Marinette points at a pigeon and claims she was talking to "Jacques," much to Alya's befuddlement. The bird makes a cute bow as if Marinette is a FriendToAllLivingThings.
** Alya apparently buys Marinette's SeamlessSpontaneousLie due to seeing Jacques bow to her in response.
** Later, Jacques shines even if it's Alya's turn to shine.
* Alya shows Marinette a video that has, among other things, Scarlet Lady telling a journalist to get away from her because he works "for that ''cheap'' magazine."
* Alya's currently running the ''[[LongList Ladyblog]]''[[LongList , the school blog, Marinette's fashion blog, and a blog about Markov]]. It's also implied there's even ''more'' blogs she didn't mention.
* When Alya steps away to make a post on one of her ''many'' blogs, Pollen asks if she can see Alya's video, and Marinette moves to restart the video. A sudden gust of wind distracts her, and she ''accidentally deletes'' Alya's video. There aren't enough words that can explain how huge Marinette and Pollen's OhCrap faces are.
* In order to keep Alya from finding out about what happened, Marinette steals her bestie's cellphone and hides it behind her back while seeing her off. She does this in full view of Mylène, who gives her some ''epic'' side-eye while sliding out from behind her.
-->'''Mylène:''' '''''Marineeeeette.'''''\\
'''Marinette:''' ''[gives her a cat-eyed stare, realizing she DidntThinkThisThrough]''
* When the Mime attacks the Agreste car, Marigold shows up to save them--and when she and Adrien see each other, they remember that there's a high chance the other is the person they like. So they ''[[FlirtingUnderFire flirt with each other]]''.
-->'''Adrien and Marigold:''' [[SayItWithHearts Hey~♥]]
* Chat Noir joins Marigold.
-->'''Chat Noir:''' Starting the party without me, Honey Bee?\\
'''Marigold:''' Hardly!\\
'''Chat Noir:''' Let's see what he's got!\\
''[Chat Noir attacks, only to get whacked when the Mime mimes hitting him]''\\
'''Marigold:''' [[DeadpanSnarker Yeah, you won't be "seeing" much of anything.]]
* When Marigold decides to give Mylène a Miraculous, she tells the girl to go and hide in an alley "for at least 10 minutes." Mylène is confused at how specific this request is.
* [[ApologeticAttacker Ultimutt apologizes as the Mime falls off the bus]], though from context, it seems that she was holding onto his arm until he tried to attack her, meaning it was mainly his own fault.
* Ultimutt tricks the Mime into participating in a mime off, during which she pretends to mime the throwing of a ball... but instead hits the akuma's hat with her real ball, allowing a Fetch of the hat and the akumatized object hidden inside it.
* With Ultimutt ready to Fetch the Mime's hat, all that's missing is for Scarlet Lady to show up. Chat Noir primes up Cataclysm.
-->'''Chat Noir:''' Oh, '''''I''''' know how to get her attention.\\
'''Chloé:''' ''[sunbathing, with the Eiffel Tower in the background]''\\
'''Chat Noir:''' ''[in the distance]'' Cataclysm!\\
'''Chloé:''' ''[seeing [[MonumentalDamage the Eiffel Tower starting to collapse]]]'' [[FantasticallyIndifferent Ugh,]] '''''[[FantasticallyIndifferent this]]''''' [[FantasticallyIndifferent again?]] Tikkiiiiii!
** There's the fact that despite the heroes not needing to bring down the Eiffel Tower like in canon, it still gets destroyed anyway.
* After the Mime is stopped, Chat Noir flirts with Marigold by suggesting they go to the show, only for Marigold to counter by strongly hinting she knows he's trying to discover her SecretIdentity. She then ''challenges'' him to see which of them finds out the truth first. Chat Noir takes the challenge with a grin.
* Scarlet Lady as Chat Noir, Marigold, and Ultimutt do the FistBump:
-->'''Scarlet Lady:''' Where'd you get the poodle?\\
'''Marigold:''' [[DeadpanSnarker The same place I get every hero to pick up your slack. From the distant land of None-Ya Business.]]
* Marigold tells Barkk that being an actress gave Mylène a good sense of timing.
-->'''Mylène:''' [[INeverSaidItWasPoison How'd you know I'm an actress?]]\\
'''Marigold:''' [[INeedToGoIronMyDog Whoop, that's my timer,]] [[ScrewThisImOuttaHere time to go Barkk!]]
* After all the catastrophizing Marinette went through in her fear of Alya's reaction to her video being deleted... it turns out that Alya's phone automatically uploads all her videos to the cloud.

[[folder:Gorizilla: Tales of ____ the Bodyguard]]
* Because The Gorilla's name has yet to be revealed, the title card puts his fist in front of the spot where his name would be.
* While the fact that Gabriel seems to be drawing a potential connection between Adrien and Chat Noir is concerning, the way that he casually dismisses his son trying to ask him a question is somewhat amusing:
-->'''Gabriel:''' ''[as calculations swirl around his head]'' Yes... Busy...\\
'''Adrien:''' Uh, père?\\
'''Gabriel:''' Why are you still here?
* Chloé orders several boxes of Gabriel's latest perfume, ''Adrien'', and lounges in the bottles while sighing about her crush. Not the perfume itself; just the bottles.
-->'''Chloé:''' Radiant... Carefree... Dreamy... ''Adrien''~\\
'''Tikki:''' [[DeadpanSnarker Single-handedly financing the business, are you?]]
* A bonus panel has Marinette explaining to Pollen why she's bringing so many swimsuits. Pollen admires her owner being so CrazyPrepared while also quietly acknowledging the downside:
-->'''Marinette:''' So this swimsuit is in case something happens to the first swimsuit in the wave pool, and ''this'' swimsuit is in case someone spills ice cream on themselves, and ''this'' swimsuit is in case someone is self-conscious about the swimsuit they brought and wants to change...\\
'''Pollen:''' ''[proudly thinking] My Queen is so prepared and so going to be late.''
** When Marinette calls Alya to apologize about being late, Alya immediately guesses (correctly) that her best friend had tried to pack five backup swimsuits "just in case."
* Poor Adrien's day gets worse when he's promptly recognized by Wayhem, who immediately drags him into a selfie and posts it. As others react to Adrien presence with stars in their eyes, he can only [[ThisIsGoingToSuck stare in horror]], mumbling [[OhCrap "Oh no."]]
* Chloé is spraying ''EVERYTHING'' in her room with Gabriel's new fragrance. Once she gets an alert that Adrien's outside, she spritzes poor Tikki right in the face while preparing to "grace him with my presence":
-->'''Chloé:''' ''[posing proudly]'' Ready to go!\\
'''Tikki:''' ''[coughing]'' [[DeadpanSnarker Now that you smell like teenage boy and cheese?!]]
* Chloé's pettiness reaches even greater levels: she transforms into Scarlet Lady just because someone posted a photo of Adrien and Marinette and said the latter was Adrien's girlfriend.
** She also tries to "rescue" Adrien from Marinette, [[ComicallyMissingThePoint failing to realize]] her attempt is [[UnwantedRescue completely unwanted]]. Nor does she like the fact that Adrien chose "peasant" places to hide.
--->'''Scarlet Lady:''' What the heck, Adrikins, stop hiding out in '''''poor''''' places so I can rescue you already! The public park?! The subway?! Didn't your daddy raise you better?!
* In Part 3's bonus, while Alya, Rose, and Mylène gossip about Adrien and Marinette being caught hiding in a fountain, there's a FunnyBackgroundEvent of Kagami sporting a DeathGlare as she shoots Alix in the back with a water gun.
* When Adrien reveals how his father went so far as to hide the only DVD copy they had of the ''Solitude''[[note]]The movie in which Adrien's mother stars as the lead actress[[/note]], it really triggers Marinette's BerserkButton.
-->'''Adrien:''' ''[noticing Marinette's BattleAura]'' A-Are you okay?\\
'''Marinette:''' '''''[[BlatantLies Totes.]]'''''\\
'''Narration:''' Urge to kill rising.
* While Adrien and Marinette are at the cinema, what should show up in the pre-movie ads but the ''[[EmbarrassingAdGig Adrien]]'' fragrance ad? Adrien (who's wearing a motorcycle helmet) lowers the visor in annoyance while Marinette laughs.
-->'''Tags:''' #seriously missed opportunity that Adrien's friends didn't rip on him 24/7 after this commercial dropped
* Adrien and Marinette's viewing of ''Solitude'' gets interrupted when someone gets a photo of them. Scarlet Lady shows up... and gets trampled by the crowd of Adrien fans.
* Scar reveals her true colors:
-->'''Scarlet Lady:''' '''''How dare you pretend to be my Prince's girlfriend!'''''\\
'''Marinette:''' [[LampshadeHanging Is]] '''''[[LampshadeHanging this]]''''' [[LampshadeHanging what you do with your free time?]]
* Gorizilla interrupts things by crashing his gigantic hand through the roof and grabbing Adrien.
-->'''Scarlet Lady:''' He got Adrien! Someone do something!\\
'''Random fan:''' Isn't that what '''''you're''''' here for?
* Wayhem loudly declares he will save Adrien... [[FunnyBackgroundEvent while Marinette transforms just three rows behind him]]. [[BrickJoke He does in fact later help defeat Gorizilla by returning Marigold's top to her.]]
* The caption, much like in "Horrificator," indulges in a BaitAndSwitchComment at Scarlet Lady's expense:
--> '''Caption:''' Look what you fools have done! All that tagging Adrien's location, you brought ''Scarlet Lady'' right to him!
* Adrien has no faith in Scarlet Lady.
-->'''Scarlet Lady:''' I'll save you, Mon Prince!\\
'''Adrien:''' [[DeadpanSnarker I won't hold my breath.]]
* Marigold prepares her top to use Venom on Gorizilla... and Scarlet Lady slaps the top away due to [[SkewedPriorities wanting save Adrien herself]]. Marigold looks ready to kill when the top falls off the building they're on.
** There's also the fact that right before she loses her top, [[TemptingFate Marigold explicitly comments that defeating Gorizilla will be easy since she has Venom]].
* Scar tries to attack the akuma... [[LaserGuidedKarma and quickly gets herself captured]].
* When Adrien doesn't transform into Chat Noir even while Marigold's captured, Hawkmoth simply sighs and tells his akuma to let her escape, noting that he [[SkewedPriorities "can't make ads with a pancake son."]]
* After Marigold brings Adrien to safety, he almost slips and calls her "Honeybee," causing others to wonder what's going on. [[MomentKiller Gorizilla chooses that moment to interrupt]], giving Adrien and Marigold some hilarious OhCrap faces.
* After Wayhem throw's Marigold's top back at her and apologizes to Adrien for starting the mess, Adrien decides to [[ThrowTheDogABone give him his email address]], saying he had fun when they met back during "Ikari Gozen"...
-->'''Adrien:''' '''''But it's only for you.''''' I better not find it on Reddit or something.\\
'''Wayhem:''' F-Fair...
* Gabriel tries to passive-aggressively hint to his son that he believed him to be Chat Noir. It... doesn't go the way he planned.
--> '''Gabriel:''' If you start hiding things from me, I'll imagine all kinds of things. Understand?\\
'''Adrien:''' No? What kinds of things?\\
'''Gabriel:''' ''[flustered]'' Uh, nevermind.
* When Marinette finally arrives to the water park, the girls crowd around her.
-->'''Alya:''' So, are you, like, Adrien's '''''girlfriend''''' now?\\
'''Marinette:''' [[HeIsNotMyBoyfriend N-No!]]\\
'''Rose:''' But do you '''''want''''' to '''''be?'''''\\
'''Marinette:''' ''[with a LuminescentBlush]'' ... I don't know.\\
'''Someone:''' ''[spraying Marinette with water]'' '''''WRONG ANSWER!'''''\\
'''Marinette:''' '''''GAH!!!'''''
** For extra hilarity, Kagami is the only one to have been seen carrying a water gun. You can easily see this as ''[[NotSoAboveItAll Kagami]]'' shooting water at Marinette because she's a ShipperOnDeck and Marinette won't take the chance.

[[folder:Sandboy: Tales of the Sleepwalker]]
* Plagg and Tikki sneak out of their homes to meet each other, with the latter concerned about whether Pollen can come up with a good excuse.
-->'''Tikki:''' I hope Pollen managed to come up with a cover story. She's [[BadLiar not a good liar]].\\
''[[[DescriptionCut cut to Pollen and Marinette]]]''\\
'''Pollen:''' Good night, my Queen. And thank you for allowing me to venture out this evening.\\
'''Narration:''' ''[with arrow pointing at Pollen]'' [[HonestyIsTheBestPolicy Just told the truth]]\\
'''Marinette:''' Don't forget your gift!
* Tikki and Plagg cheerily greet Pollen until they notice the latter carrying a bag much bigger than her. Moreover, the three Kwamis have the same reactions they did when they met in "Riposte."
* Tikki and Plagg sweat and exchange nervous glances when Sass notes how fortunate they are that their holders allowed them to attend.
-->'''Plagg:''' [[SureLetsGoWithThat Yeaaaaah, "allow."]]
* Despite lamenting in "Reflekta" that without her influence, Marinette was (seemingly) becoming a criminal, Tikki [[HypocriticalHumor steals Chloé's diamond scrunchie to give to Nooroo]] and [[NotSoAboveItAll eagerly anticipates Chloé noticing it's missing]], complete with a CheshireCatGrin.
* Chloé's nightmare is being attacked... by her clothes and makeup.
* Rose's nightmare is being hated by [[GirlsLoveStuffedAnimals her many stuffed animals]].
* When the Chat Noir in Marinette's nightmare shows up, [[NiceGirl Rose]] [[BewareTheNiceOnes kicks him in the face and proceeds to beat the crap out of him]] as she drags him into a BigBallOfViolence. Marinette salutes her.
-->'''Marinette:''' ''[thinking]'' ''Bless you Rose you violent angel.''
** Rose later manages to restrain Nightmare!Chat Noir by [[WrestlerInAllOfUs putting him in a Boston crab]].
* When Marinette gets into Master Fu's home, she briefly forgets the code for the Miraculous Box, leading to the image of a panicking Marinette trying (and failing) to open a gramophone.
* Marinette wakes Fu up while he's having a nightmare of being blamed for the Order of the Guardians' destruction. The {{Bedsheet Ghost}}s are so non-scary that Marinette doesn't know why Fu is scared.
-->'''Marinette:''' [[ComicallyMissingThePoint Your nightmare is talking handkerchiefs?]]
* The Kwamis manage to contact Nooroo... right when Hawkmoth was using the Miraculous. The Kwamis' reactions (particularly Plagg treating everything like a botched phone call) are hilarious.
* While persecuted by the {{Bedsheet Ghost}}s, Fu reveals that [[NoodleIncident whatever he did]] was because he was hungry. The Kwamis decide not to make the scene more awkward than it is and just silently {{sweatdrop}} as they watch.
** Tikki and Plagg even keep staring as they fly back to their holders, with Plagg attempting a NotSoInnocentWhistle.
* As Marigold picks up a Miraculous to lend out, Fu begs her to use Bee Balm to at least get rid of the nightmares.
* Upon returning to Adrien, Plagg is greeted by his holder, who cries tears of immense relief that his Kwami is no longer a sock, [[ComicallyMissingThePoint not realizing that Plagg snuck off after leaving a sock]] as a SleepingDummy.
* Chloé believes that [[ItsAllAboutMe her belongings came to life and are attacking her because they want to overthrow her]] [[YoureJustJealous out of jealousy]]; she only realizes it's an akuma when Tikki suggests it.
* Rather than get excited that she's about to become a temporary hero, Rose is instead horrified by the thought of having to fight a child, forcing Marigold to assure her that they need her for something else.
* Even after transforming, Pigella's fear (her stuffed animals hating her) doesn't change, leading to Scarlet Lady mocking her and Sandboy whining that her fear doesn't give him a lot to work with.
** There's also Scarlet Lady's [[{{Hypocrite}} hypocrisy]]: she mocks Pigella for having a nightmare that mostly involves just being attacked by stuffed animals (while being [[BridalCarry Bridal Carried]] by the Pig heroine), even though Chloé's nightmare was being attacked by her makeup and clothes.
* When the child tells Pigella what happened, the heroine's TranquilFury leads to Marigold thinking that Hawkmoth better hope Pigella ''never'' finds him.
* [[RunningGag Once more]], the heroes have to deal with a temporary hero ready to adopt their Kwami.
--> '''Rose:''' So what's your favorite color? Food? What about music --\\
'''Marigold:''' Stop stop '''''stop''''', this isn't an '''''adoption!'''''
* The idea of being allowed to ''scold'' Marinette mentally breaks [[YesMan Pollen]], who ends up [[HeroicBSOD losing consciousness]]:
-->'''Pollen:''' ''[muttering with BlankWhiteEyes]'' Scold... my Queen? ''[drifting off]'' Me scold... my Queen. Scold--\\
'''Plagg:''' ''[to Marinette]'' I think you broke her, Pigtails.
* Due to the Kwamis's attempt to contact Nooroo, Gabriel now knows how many Kwamis there are in Paris, which he soon [[EvilGloating gloats]] about. Unlike canon, however, Nooroo... [[MoodWhiplash isn't exactly worried]].
-->'''Gabriel:''' I'll find them all and their Miraculouses! Then I'll have unlimited power at my disposal! Then nothing will stop me! [[EvilLaugh Bwahahaha!]]\\
'''Nooroo:''' [[FirstPersonSmartass You haven't even managed to get the Miraculouses you're invested in, you flop.]]
** Zoe justifies this gag by claiming to have written that page before the end of Season 4. She also points out that technically, Felix was the one who obtained all the Miraculous, not Gabriel.

[[folder:Reverser: Tales of Marc the Writer]]
* As is often the case, the chapter titles together form a HurricaneOfPuns, though this time, the author takes the novel approach of using pairs of words, with the first being a real word while the second is a pun on the first, containing a word sounds like the opposite of part of the first word. The resulting titles are: "Breakfast, Breakslow," "Cashew, Cashaw," "Fireworks, Waterworks," "Planet, Screwet," "Champagne, Champleasure," "Wardrobe, Peacedrobe," "Hot Dog, Cold Dog," "Cyclops, Walkops," "Ketchup, Ketchdown," "Internship, Leadership," "Tyrannosaurus, Electedsaurus," "Popsicle, Classical," "Smoothie, Roughie," "Parking, Parqueen," "Mango, Womango," "Pasteurized, Futurized," and "Radioactive, Radiolazy."
* As he heads up to the art room, Nathaniel laments how he's been looking for the person he danced with at Chloé's party for a while now with no luck... [[FailedASpotCheck right as Marinette spots Marc sitting beneath the stairs]].
-->'''Caption:''' You need to look '''DOWN''' Nat!
* Nathaniel turns out to have been making a lot of art about an evil Scarlet Lady.
-->'''Art Teacher:''' Why do you keep drawing [Scarlet Lady] as a villain?\\
'''Nathaniel:''' Artistic expression. I'm '''''expressing''''' how Marigold is '''''better''''' than her.
* When Chloé barges into the art classroom to present her "unique masterpiece," Alix (while imitating Chloé's overdramatic pose) immediately guesses that it's "''another'' collage of selfies." When it turns out she's right, everybody else begins to laugh.
** Also, the key word is ''another''. How many times has Chloé tried to do this?
** Chloé attempts to retaliate by mocking the others' work, first Juleka and Rose's songs (with Juleka reminding her that their band actually has a contract and Chloé helped XY when he tried to rip Kitty Section off) and Marinette's dresses (only for Marinette to smugly point out that Jagged Stone and Gabriel Agreste don't think the same... and that Chloé tried to rip her off ''twice'').
** Chloé turns to Marc... and stops mid-sentence because she doesn't know who they are, even though the two have met at least once. Marc still flees from the room in fright and even ScreamsLikeALittleGirl!
* The art teacher tries to come to Chloé's defense... and is promptly shut down by Alix.
-->'''Art Teacher:''' Well Alix, if Chloé really '''''did''''' have an art project, it's too bad we didn't give her a chance to tell us about it, isn't it?\\
'''Alix:''' Uh, no? Why would I want her here? [[DeadpanSnarker So she can come insult everyone, take over the art room, and try to steal ideas from us?]]\\
'''Art Teacher:''' ...\\
'''Alix:''' Yeah, that's what I thought.\\
'''Caption:''' Sounds like she'd be a GREAT contribution to the club, dude.\\
'''Tags:''' #she LITERALLY has a track record of art theft and sabotage Mr. Art Teacher!

--> '''Marinette;''' [[DramaticIrony ... Who's that?]]\\
'''Caption:''' ''No one, no one at all.''
** Marc's story has Hawkmoth being helped by two people: Scarlet Queen (a villainous Scarlet Lady) and Antibug (a villainous Chloé), [[DramaticIrony both of whom would be the same person]].
* Marinette awkwardly muses that she doesn't know if it's brave or '''[[FearlessFool dumb]]''' to make a blatantly anti-Chloé and anti-Scarlet Lady story.
-->'''Tags:''' #in fairness to Marc they never [[PlausibleDeniability SAID]] it was Chloe...just heavily implied it
* When Marc proves reluctant to meet with Nathaniel and show him their writing.
-->'''Marinette:''' Don't worry, Marc. '''''I''''' have a plan.\\
'''Marc:''' ''[{{sweatdrop}}s]'' [[GenreSavvy Should I be concerned?]]\\
'''Caption:''' A [[ComplexityAddiction Marinette]] plan? [[SarcasmMode I'm sure this will be simple and straight forward and won't have any multiple variables AT ALL.]]
** And, for irony's sake, it turns out the plan is pretty straightforward: Marinette gives the book to Nathaniel, tells him it's from a friend, and then asks if he wants to meet them. [[SpannerInTheWorks If only Chloé hadn't found out about it...]]
** Marinette and Adrien are later seen keeping watch from her terrace, happy to see that Marc and Nathaniel are getting along just fine... until they notice [[AlphaBitch Chloé]] marching towards them. [[OhCrap Cue a frantic race for the stairs]] [[GenreSavvy to prevent a catastrophe]]. They both end up tumbling and landing in the corridor downstairs.

* When Nathaniel reads the book, he finds a scene in which Ladybug captures Scarlet Queen because the villain was too preoccupied with [[RunningGag her hair]] to put up a fight.
** In the scene, Scarlet Queen sacrifices Antibug so she could get away. In other words, it has Chloé using herself as a HumanShield.
--->'''Nathaniel:''' ''[reading]'' "I'm sure Antibug would've done the same to Scarlet Queen if she could."
** The following ImagineSpot has Antibug with some comical OcularGushers as she's tied up by the heroes.
* Chloé overhears Alix and Nathaniel discussing his new "Scarlet Queen" drawings and [[DramaticallyMissingThePoint thinks the latter has "properly glorified [her] other self."]] She decides to have a look at his drawings on the school blog. Cue DistantReactionShot.
-->'''Chloé:''' ''[seeing the sketches]'' '''''WHAT IS THIS?!'''''
* When Marinette suggests that Nathaniel meet with the book author, Nathaniel is all in... and has already deduced it's Marc.
-->'''Marinette:''' '''''[[SuddenlyShouting GOTTA GO, DON'T BE LATE, K?!]]'''''
* Marc gets akumatized (of course) because of Chloé and proceeds to attempt to use their powers on her. Then [[ByTheBookCop Officer Raincomprix]] shows up (while Chloé is slipping away from the chaos in the background).

* While under the influence of Reverser's powers, Mayor Bourgeois announces that instead of launching Paris's new space dumpster program, which involves storing the city's trash in orbital dumpsters, he will instead order the satellites to release all the trash back down to Paris and make it the world's biggest trash heap. Someone in the crowd asks [[InventionalWisdom why that is even a feature]].
* Marigold wonders how Scarlet Lady got even ''worse'' after getting hit by Reverser and becoming a whiny crybaby with no confidence who incessantly complains about how hopeless it is that they'll win.
* When Fu fakes a fall, Chat Noir realizes that he's the only one who technically can "help" the elderly man. To make matters worse, he has to climb up the stairs (thanks to Reverser, Chat Noir has lost his confidence in anything he does and is now nervous about heights).
** Master Fu/Jade Turtle reveals that he can't help out in the fight himself since he'll get backlash once the transformation goes away, which is why he snaps at Chat Noir to hurry.
** After detransforming, Fu is indeed hunched over and out of breath.
* When Chat Noir and Marigold convince Nathaniel to get to safety, Scarlet Lady cries about how no one's taking ''her'' to safety. Nathaniel also nervously asks if Chat Noir plans on taking him to the sewer.
* Chat Noir presents Nathaniel with a Miraculous... and then cries at the thought of Nathaniel refusing, which would mean Chat will have to fight the bad guy himself.
* As Marigold clumsily tries (and fails) to use Bee Balm, Scarlet mutters that what she's trying to do is "pointless, utterly pointless." WordOfGod also reveals that the bonus panel containing the scene was drawn only the day before in response to all the questions about [[StatingTheSimpleSolution why Marigold didn't just use Bee Balm]].
* When Ziggy explains the power of the Goat Miraculous, Nathaniel laments that being able to only create one item is a downgrade from his powers as Evillustrator. Ziggy gets annoyed at this and [[MyInstinctsAreShowing headbutts]] him while saying the limit is only because Nathaniel's a [[{{Pun}} "kid."]]
* The news report's headline calls Reverser an "evil oreo."
* Chat Noir's reaction when Marigold says she has a plan:
-->'''Chat Noir:''' [[ThisIsGonnaSuck Oh no, a]] '''''[[ThisIsGonnaSuck plan]].'''''\\
'''Marigold:''' There, there Kitty. It'll be okay.\\
''[[[GilliganCut The bonus panel shows a blindfolded Chat being carried across a roof by Caprikid]]].''\\
'''Chat Noir:''' This is so '''''not okay, Marigold!'''''
* The first panel on the next page says that meanwhile, Marigold and Scarlet Lady took a taxi to get to the Eiffel Tower.
* Scarlet Lady begrudgingly summons a Lucky Charm at Marigold's urging, saying that it probably won't help. [[TheCuckoolanderWasRight She's proven right a few minutes later]] when Caprikid and Chat Noir manage to stop Reverser without it, which the caption even points out.
* When Reverser asks why Chat Noir isn't with the two girls:
-->'''Marigold:''' You made him a coward, [[DidntThinkThisThrough what did you expect?!]]
* Caprikid drops Chat Noir in order to save Marc, who worriedly asks about the Cat hero's safety [[FunnyBackgroundEvent while Chat's screaming can be seen in the background behind the speech bubbles]].
-->'''Caprikid:''' Eh, [[BlatantLies he's probably fine]].\\
'''Marigold:''' '''''[[OhCrap Use the cure, Scarlet!]]'''''
* As Caprikid tries to reassure Marc that Nathaniel will want to know them better and almost calls them by their name, Chat Noir interrupts (clearly a bit salty over the whole "being dropped mid-air" thing).
-->'''Chat Noir:''' Hey, '''''Caprikid,''''' hate to cut you off but we [[{{Pun}} "goat"]] to go. ''[in a lower voice]'' Don't give too much away, '''"kid."'''
* To apologize to Ziggy for the "downgrade" comment, Nathaniel draws a picture of both Ziggy and Caprikid together. Ziggy says they'll keep the drawing with them forever... [[ImmediateSelfContradiction while they're eating the drawing]].
-->'''Nathaniel:''' '''''GAH! DON'T EAT IT!'''''\\
'''Caption:''' Ziggy's a [[ExtremeOmnigoat goat]], I don't know what you expected.
* The first issue of "The Diary of Ladybug" is dedicated to Marinette. Nathaniel and Marc offer to put her in the comic "... as Multimouse. Or Maotif, if you prefer." Marinette waves them off with a face that's almost BlueWithShock as [[ClingyJealousGirl Pollen]] nearly has a fit in her purse. "That's very thoughtful, but I'd rather not," says Marinette.

[[folder:Party Crasher: Tales of Wayhem the Fun Guy]]
* When Master Fu, posing as Adrien's tutor, arrives at Agreste Manor, he asks if Adrien minds asking The Gorilla to put him down.
* Nino completely supports Kim's idea to crash Adrien's place while Gabriel is gone and fails to understand why Max and Ivan are so uneasy about it.
-->'''Caption:''' This has bad idea written all over it, guys.
* To Nathalie, if driving Gabriel's hologram is any different from driving the real Gabriel around, it's because it's more peaceful.
* When the guys are discussing skipping on tree-planting with the girls, [[CrazyPrepared Nino pulls out cards with ready-made excuses to send]].
-->'''Ivan:''' [[LampshadeHanging Why do you already have these?]]
* After the girls read aloud the various excuses the guys sent, Lila is the one who points out how they're all BlatantLies, and she and Sabrina laugh about how unconvincing the excuses are. This is soon followed by collective FlatWhat from the rest of the girls, with Lila making a hilarious face when she realizes only she and Sabrina spotted the lies.
-->'''Caption:''' Of course ''Lila'' would clock a lie '''immediately'''.
* When the guys get to the Manor, they manage to [[TheGuardsMustBeCrazy convince The Gorilla to let them enter]] by [[EveryManHasHisPrice bribing him with action figures]]. The fact that the guys had those action figures at the ready strongly hints that [[NoodleIncident this isn't the first time one of them had to bribe Adrien's bodyguard]].
* When Adrien tries to get them to leave, [[NotSoAboveItAll Fu is fully on board with joining the guys' hangout]].
-->'''Caption:''' Fu hasn't been out in a long time.
* In order to determine whether Lila was right, Marinette makes a group call. The guys don't pick up--which Marinette uses to confirm they're together. When she turns to look at the girls, all of them (yes, even [[NiceGirl Rose and Mylène]]) are sporting {{Battle Aura}}s and CrossPoppingVeins.
* Nino tells Adrien Marinette can't come over to the party because it's "No Girls Allowed!" When Adrien (with teary eyes) asks ''[[ArmorPiercingQuestion why]]'', Nino opts to ChangeTheUncomfortableSubject.
* Max turns on the music so high it can be heard from outside. Cut to outside the Mansion, where all the visibly ticked-off girls are now standing:
-->'''Marinette:''' [[LampshadeHanging They're practically]] '''''[[TooDumbToLive broadcasting]]''''' [[TooDumbToLive that they're ditching work.]]
* When Max reveals that the manor's energy supply can compete with a nuclear power station...

'''Max:''' No, I don't think you understand how '''''not normal this is.'''''
-->'''Caption:''' (Look, Max should've had a way more concerned reaction to this discovery)
* When The Gorilla won't let Marinette in, she has a message that leaves the camera eyestalk with a SweatDrop:
-->'''Marinette:''' Oh? Not letting me in? [[SugaryMalice That's fine, that's fine.]] If you could just leave a message for the slackers from us girls: '''''[[TranquilFury "We're going to make you all eat dirt."]]'''''\\
'''Caption:''' Just remember, you guys started it.\\
'''Tags:''' #it's freakin' ON!
* Roger, Sabrina's father, arrive at the manor because of a noise complaint, followed soon after by Adrien's photographer, who is there for a photo shoot appointment. Both of them get drawn into the impromptu party that's forming: while the photographer decides the party is the perfect backdrop for the photos, Roger's reason is that he got distracted because [[SeriousBusiness the guys were playing]] ''[[SeriousBusiness foosball]]'' '''[[SeriousBusiness the wrong way.]]'''
** Meanwhile the girls are still stuck outside and both times expect the party to put to an end, only to be frustrated when it doesn't and the adult in question just joins the party instead. They then get ''more'' pissed when they still aren't let in, even as a ''freaking line'' starts forming for people to join the party.
** The caption points out to the girls that they shouldn't be surprised [[AdultsAreUseless that they can't rely on adults to fix things]].
* Marinette pointing out how ridiculous it is that the guys, many of whom are dating the girls in their group, will let in complete strangers into the party as long as they're not a girl. Cue all the girls [[EurekaMoment glancing her way]] as Marinette asks why they're looking at her like that, not realizing she just gave her friends an idea. Alya immediately tells Juleka to call her brother Luka while calling her best friend a genius, much to Marinette's confusion.
* Meanwhile the boys are inside and decide it's time to head out: cue Jagged Stone (in his helicopter no less!) arriving to join the party along with several others (among them the guy with the banana suit and M. Damocles in his "The Owl" costume). [[ComicallyMissingThePoint Kim is excited as he declares, "the more the merrier,"]] as the rest of the guys (sans Adrien) have a collective OhCrap reaction to the party crashers.
* Poor Marinette [[GotVolunteered gets volunteered]] for the girls' plan have one of them dress as a boy and infiltrate the party, which involves putting on baggy clothes borrowed from Juleka and Luka along with his helmet and a fake mustache. [[AtrociousAlias Presto! Marino, Luka's band mate from school!]]
** Luka's general demeanor along with the following line shows exactly why he went along with being their "guy on the inside":

'''Luka:''' Girls fight '''''hard.'''''
* Master Fu's opinion of Kim:
-->'''Master Fu:''' ''[thinking]'' Certainly this boy is big of heart (and dumb of ass).
* When Gabriel gets the electricity to his lair shut off, he demands, "What the [[SymbolSwearing $%&#]] is going on in here on this day?!" He then transforms into Hawkmoth to find someone in the party to akumatize and make them restore power, except...
-->'''Hawkmoth:''' I don't feel strong negative emotions... just the usual general anxiety... I can only feel... Joy and happiness?! '''''Disgustang!''''' ''(sic)''
** The captions note that [[GaveUpTooSoon had Hawkmoth searched a little farther outside the manor]], he would've found a whole gaggle of infuriated girls who'd be ripe for akumatization.
** Hawkmoth finally settles for akumatizing Wayhem, {{sweatdrop}}ing as he does so:
--->'''Hawkmoth:''' ''[[AbusiveParents Who cares if it's a grudge against my own son?!]] [[SkewedPriorities I need electricity dammit!]]''
* Ivan has an absolutely ''hilarious'' face as he spirals about how out of control the party's gotten.
* The adults at the party find the "[[https://miraculousladybug.fandom.com/wiki/Stationation Stationation]]" vinyl disc and realize they have all the men needed to sing it save for the Mustachio'd Biker... so they ask Marino to join (with [[NotSoAboveItAll M. D'Argencourt and Officer Raincomprix]] being the most insistent). Marinette gets rid of her disguise to stop them.
* When Party Crasher [[DepartmentOfRedundancyDepartment crashes the party]], Alya begins filming.
-->'''Mylène:''' Do... do we '''''call''''' someone?\\
'''Lila:''' Who do we call? The cops are at the party.\\
'''Caption:''' [[PoliceAreUseless They'd be useless anyway.]]
* After finding a place to hide, Fu has a comical look on his face as he wipes his forehead and remarks what a close call that was (he had brought all the Miraculous with him to the Agreste Manor).
* How does Ziggy greet Nathaniel when Fu has the Kwami bring their respective Miraculous to the temporary heroes already at the party? [[CallBack With a headbutt]].
* When Fu gives out other Miraculous to Marigold and Chat Noir, he admits that all the other options (the girls) are outside. It then cuts to the girls. The ones who were temporary heroes want to join in based on their facial expressions, but they can't leave the group without compromising their identities.
* True to form, when Xuppu comes out, he and Kim begin to insult and blow raspberries at each other. Then, when the time comes to return the Miraculous, they're at it again.
-->'''Chat Noir''': Thank God this is only temporary.
* Party Crasher complaining about all the temp heroes, pointing out that Hawkmoth only wants the ring and the earrings and to go get Scarlet Lady. This prompts the girls (who are ''still'' stuck outside) to wonder where she is, causing Lila to tell Sabrina to "go nag Chloé to get her lazy BFF over here."
** Sabrina manages to do exactly this, somehow getting past all the hotel security and into Chloé's room.
** There's also the fact that while everything has been going on, Chloé has been ''across the street'' and didn't notice '''anything'''.
* When Scarlet Lady shows up and berates the others for being unable to defeat an akuma on their own, Chat Noir loudly tells Viperion to use Second Chance for ''when'' she screws the plan up. Their deadpan expressions just sell it.
* Pegasus starts the music, and Scarlet Lady begins to dance with her "world-class training" (a comment that makes Foxtrot give her an absolutely hilarious deadpan glare)... only for Party Crasher to catch her insultingly easily. Viperion's sigh before activating Second Chance just sells it.
* Marigold ''cries'' at Stompp and Ivan being such a wholesome pair right when she has to take the Kwami back.
* The guys literally grovel while apologizing as the girls look down on them with a CollectiveDeathGlare.
** Kim "volunteers as tribute" to appease the girls, insisting that it was entirely ''his'' fault that the boys ditched the girls. Somebody notes that his delivery sounds almost as though he's ''bragging'' about that.
** The guys have a group hug as they all say they're sorry and admit it was all their faults that they ditched work and let the party get out of control. Marinette sarcastically reminds them that they were supposed to be apologizing to the girls.
* The guys are put to work on the tree-planting they originally committed themselves attempting to skip out on it, all while under the watchful eyes of the girls. However, the author realizes there's one little loose end she forgot to tie up...
-->'''Tags:''' [[WhatHappenedToTheMouse #wait I forgot about wayhem O.O;]]
* Marinette finally learns she was Master Fu's original pick for the Ladybug Miraculous when he casually brings it up. It turns out Fu forgot to tell her.

[[folder:Frozer: Tales of Philippe the Ice Skater]]
* The author repeatedly apologizes about the terrible art on the header.
* Like other episodes before, the titles are themed puns, this time around ice: "Be Chill My Beating Heart," "This Is Snow Joke," "All Hail Broke Loose," "Of Ice And Men," "Freeze The Day," "Cold As Ice," "Friends Or Froze?," "Chilled To Bits," "Ice Seeing You," "A Glacial Pace," "A Frigid Surface," "Freeze Things Happen," "All Dressed Up And Snowhere To Go," "Icy What You Did There," "A Cold Day In Hail," and "All Is Not Frost."
* When Chat Noir says he's 85% sure of Marigold's SecretIdentity, she complains... because she's only 75% sure. She then grumbles about losing the "game."
** Then he says he's so certain about it that he'll ask "her" out. While Marigold blushes, he teases her that she has to say yes since she's in love with him. Marigold hits him and calls him a smug dork with the most embarrassed look on her face while saying how he better say yes when ''she'' asks ''him''.
** The caption indicates Chat Noir is doing as a distraction from his problems:
--->'''Caption:''' Tease your way into forgetting your problems U_U
* The author warns in the tags that Adrien and Marinette will both be holding on to the IdiotBall in this episode.
-->'''Tags:''' #full disclosure: this episode only happens because I made them kinda stupid
* Plagg asks Adrien what will happen if Marigold is wrong about his identity. Adrien replies that Marigold will then go out with some other guy... and then he realizes the implications of that. Meanwhile, Marinette has [[StrangeMindsThinkAlike the exact same realization dawn on her]]. The narration helpfully marks them as idiots.
** If you pay attention, you can just make out the hint of a smile and AsideGlance as Plagg asks this and realize he's setting Adrien up to follow that train of thought. It's implied Pollen may have done something similar, but while she would've done out of innocent naiveté, Plagg most likely did it just to mess with his kid.
** Adrien and Marinette later face each other and [[SpeakInUnison simultaneously ask the other out]].
--->'''Caption:''' Luckily they're idiots who are correct, so, good for you two.
** While [[ShipperOnDeck everyone else]] cheers them on... Chloé's horrified/jealous face is absolutely ''hilarious''.
* The duo agrees to a date next Friday and are both happy that they have a date... which is when [[StrangeMindsThinkAlike both of them]] realize it would be their first date ''ever''. Cue both running to beg their friends for ideas.
** Adrien first asks Alya and Nino, who reminisce about Marigold locking them together during "Animan." He then asks Ivan and Mylène, with the latter mentioning how she fell in love with Ivan after reading the lyrics he wrote before his second akumatization. Next, he asks Marc and Nathaniel, who mention bonding over their love of fanfiction... ''after'' Marc's akumatization. So Adrien then turns to...
--->'''Adrien:''' '''''Juleka, please have a love story that doesn't involve akumas!'''''\\
'''Juleka:''' '''''KYAH!'''''
*** Juleka promptly reveals that Rose was the one that handled the romance part (while leaving out how she herself was ObliviousToLove for most of it), so Adrien briefly considers asking '''his father'''.
*** Then Luka suggests an idea... and offers to be there if Adrien needs help. Juleka quickly sends a message to Rose:
---->'''Juleka:''' ''[texting]'' Rose, Luka's being a self sacrificing idiot again.
** Meanwhile, Marinette decides to ask Kim, and on the next page, he and Ondine remind her that they were both akumatized before they started dating.
--->'''Marinette:''' Why are all my friends like this?!
*** The fact that Marinette is so desperate for ideas that she thought to ask ''[[ObliviousToLove Kim]]'' for advice.
*** Marinette is so distraught she begs ''Kagami'' for help... even more so after learning that Luka's going to be there as well!
* Kagami eventually agrees to tag along, but she reminds Marinette that she needs to pick a place. Ondine suggests the ice rink since there shouldn't be many people there. [[ComicallyMissingThePoint Kim agrees it is a great idea and not only suggests he and Ondine go as well]], [[FromBadToWorse he sends a message inviting all the other couples in the class to go]]. Ondine's face as she sees Kim's screw-up is perfectly deadpan.
-->'''Caption:''' This is quickly turning into a couple's field trip.
** Kagami, too, has a completely flat look. Marinette, meanwhile, {{sweatdrop}}s as she awkwardly goes along with it.
--->'''Marinette:''' Uh, the more, the merrier, I guess?
** Alya's motivation for going? [[DatePeepers She wants to witness Marinette's first date with Adrien.]] Nino is fully on board.
--->'''Nino:''' As if we '''''weren't''''' going to follow them.
** Rose happily gushes about inviting Juleka ("Ju-Ju"), [[SpannerInTheWorks oblivious that Chloé is spying on her and heard everything]].
* Mayor Bourgeois declares the ice rink is being "turned into a gym for ma chére fille—[[VerbalBackspace uh, for Paris.]]" He then briefly agrees with Philippe that attendance seems to be going up when Kagami, Luka, Marinette, and Adrien arrive, only to quickly try to walk back his words again when Chloé yells at him.
* Philippe questions why Chloé [[CrazyPrepared came to the rink wearing a skating outfit under her coat]] when she's the one attempting to shut the place down.
-->'''Caption:''' You have to dress the part, DUH!
* As Marinette and Kagami are putting on their skates...
-->'''Marinette:''' Sorry you gave up your Friday to third-- uh, 13th wheel. Please don't force yourself to stay for my sake.\\
'''Kagami:''' I'll stay. I mostly agreed because I thought [[ItAmusedMe it'd be funny to watch]].\\
'''Marinette:''' Uhh, thanks?\\
'''Caption:''' I would've come fore the spectacle of it all as well, Kagami.
* Kim and Ondine are the first on the ice. [[EpicFail Kim slips three seconds later]]. Philippe then offers skate lessons to him, [[ComicallyMissingThePoint only for Kim to ask if he can turn the rink into a pool]].
* When Luka [[ShipSinking shoots down]] Alya's inquiry of if he and Kagami are a couple, stating that he's not her type, Alya asks what the other girl's type is. Kagami bluntly replies, "Girls."
* [[TemptingFate Marc and Nathaniel are psyching themselves up to impress the other]]... only for Chloé to do her thing and push them to the ground, causing them to land in a pile.
-->'''Philippe:''' [[InnocentlyInsensitive You look like you could use some skate lessons!]]\\
'''Nathaniel:''' ''[{{flipping the bird}} at Philippe]'' I think '''''you''''' could use a lesson in '''''tact.'''''
* [[{{Determinator}} Philippe continues to harass the teens to offer them skating lessons]], prompting Nino to tell Alya that now he knows why no one else comes to this ice rink.
* Marinette and Adrien stumble around, and Adrien comments that at least [[TemptingFate they are only in front of their friends, not professional athletes]]. Cue Luka holding Kagami in the ''Dirty Dancing'' pose. Moreover, when Marinette asks how Kagami is so good at a sport she doesn't care about, Adrien reveals Kagami learned to skate after watching ''Anime/RanmaOneHalf'''s Skating Arc--much to Kagami's ire, because she told him that in confidence. (That arc has characters which are described [[Characters/RanmaOneHalfMajorStoryArcCharacters here]].)
* When Nino trips, Kim asks why Nino is falling when he's supposed to be a good ice skater. It's all but said that Nino is just [[ObfuscatingStupidity faking being bad]] so he has an excuse to hold Alya tightly.
-->'''Tags:''' Marinette is unimpressed with your schemes Nino
* Mylène is [[TemptingFate almost convinced to join skating classes]]... until she sees Chloé getting chased by Luka and Kagami.
-->'''Kagami:''' '''''If you don't stop [[CutYourHeartOutWithASpoon I'll use these skates]] [[ImpliedDeathThreat more creatively!]]'''''
* When Philippe sees Adrien:
-->'''Philippe:''' Why was I wasting my time on these normies when '''''he''''' was here?!\\
'''Rose:''' [[ImStandingRightHere Um, we can still hear you.]]
* Philippe then proceeds to be a MomentKiller by interrupting Adrien and Marinette just as they were blushing and remarking on the ContrivedCoincidence of them asking the other out on the same day--ironically, doing the same thing Chloé always does. He literally knocks Marinette down in his rush to get to Adrien.
* While it also crosses into TearJerker, there's something funny about seeing Mayor Bourgeois with tears streaming down his face over Chloé [[UngratefulBitch barely even showing any appreciation]] over him getting the rink closed down like she wanted.
* When Frozer shows up, Chloé has [[WingdingEyes stars in her eyes]] as she excitedly exclaims, "Akuma! Perfect timing!" Meanwhile, Adrien tells Marinette to hide somewhere safe while he goes to find help. Marinette {{lampshades}} the fact that he's doing it when they pretty much know each other's secret identities.
* Why does Chloé have an ice magic-aroon?
-->'''Tag:''' how did Chloe get the magic-aroons? Marigold handed them over through gritted teeth. For the greater good.
* Scarlet Lady realizes something's going between the Cat and Bee heroes but [[ObliviousToLove fails to realize they're flirting with each other]], instead just [[DramaticallyMissingThePoint dismissing it as them acting weird]].
* As Chat Noir and Marigold are skating away from Frozer...
-->'''Chat Noir:''' Time to activate your trap idea, [[AffectionateNickname Ma Princesse]][[note]]His nickname for ''Marinette''[[/note]]!\\
''[{{beat}}]''\\
'''Marigold:''' ''[blushes [[LateToTheRealization as she realizes what happened]]''\\
'''Scarlet Lady:''' I used Lucky Charm while you were being weird.\\
'''Caption:''' Wrong nickname, [[SuddenlyShouting WRONG NICKNAME!!!!]]
* For once, [[{{Irony}} Scarlet seems to be more on task than the other two heroes]], though [[PragmaticVillainy for selfish reasons]]:
-->'''Tags:''' #meanwhile Chloe is speedingrunning this so she can get back to date ruining
* After the defeat of Frozer, Chat Noir goes for a fist bump with Marigold, but she stops him with a question.
-->'''Chat Noir:''' Bien--\\
'''Marigold:''' Ah, Chat-- um, Glacier Noir?\\
'''Chat Noir:''' ?\\
'''Marigold:''' ''[blushing]'' Why'd you call me princess?\\
'''Chat Noir:''' Oh! Uh--\\
'''Scarlet Lady:''' Isn't is obvious?\\
'''Chat Noir and Marigold:''' ''[both thinking, in shock]'' "Obvious"?! Does she know?!\\
'''Scarlet Lady:''' [[ComicallyMissingThePoint Cuz you have a tiara now, duuuuuuuh!]]\\
'''Chat Noir:''' ''[thinking]'' Bless up that she's slow.
* After Adrien endorses the rink, André realizes he won't be able to shut it down, but when Chloé states she doesn't care anymore, he gives a sigh of relief. Also, why doesn't Chloé care? Well, she just ruined Adrien and Marinette's date, there's no way they'll try again after that disaster! [[InstantlyProvenWrong Cue Adrien and Marinette lovingly embracing each other]] and Chloé's BigNo.
* Adrien and Marinette confess their love for each other in a romantic scene... [[DatePeepers which is being slightly ruined by their classmates]].

[[folder:Frightningale: Tales of Clara the Pop Star]]
* When Marinette asks Pollen for advice on what to do with Adrien, [[ObliviousGuiltSlinging not realizing how much pressure she's putting on her Kwami]], who knows Adrien ''is'' Chat Noir but can't tell her queen after Tikki drilled her on the importance of protecting the heroes' secret identities. Pollen tries to diplomatically reply that life is full of surprises, though Marinette doesn't let up.
-->'''Marinette:''' Pollen, please, I'm begging you for some '''''actual''''' advice!
* Adrien makes a funny, pouty face when he asks Plagg if the Kwami really thinks Adrien would love his partner Marigold any less even if she isn't Marinette.
* Adrien and Gabriel about the former playing Chat Noir for Clara's music video.
-->'''Gabriel:''' Besides, he's the '''''Hero of Paris''''' that '''''everyone''''' loves. How could you object?

** Adrien decides he needs to act as lamely as possible to get replaced and avoid being outed... but when he sees Marinette in the crowd, [[NotSoAboveItAll he can't resist having a bit of fun by going out and throwing a kiss at her]].
** Meanwhile, Plagg makes a BrickJoke about Chat Noir's tacky bell and says, "Oh no," as he glances at the mischievous look in Adrien's eyes over his bearer's shoulder.
* After Lila compliments Sabrina, the other girls all tease Lila about [[JerkWithAHeartOfGold secretly loving all of them]].
-->'''Lila:''' ''[seeing all the girls grinning at her]'' W-what?! What's that look for?!\\
'''Alya:''' You loooooooove us, Li-la~♥\\

'''Sabrina: ''Please stop talking.'''''\\
'''Caption:''' Hey, at least he [=IS=] dancing.
* When Clara trips and Marinette quickly moves to help her, the singer decides to ask her to play Marigold--still rhyming, much to Marinette's shock. Marinette tries to duck out of it, but Adrien keeps trying to get her to do it.
--->'''Adrien:''' You'd make a purrfect Marigold, Marinette.\\
'''Marinette:''' ''[thinking] Is he trying to get me in trouble? [aloud]'' That's so nice of you! But I came with my friends to be extras. I don't want to leave them.\\

'''Marinette:''' ''[thinking] He '''''is''''' trying to get me in trouble!''\\
'''Caption:''' ''[[DidntThinkThisThrough We're going to have SUCH a talk about this later!]]'' Wait, no we can't.
* Marinette's friends all hug her as they congratulate her for getting the part of Marigold and thus helping them secure roles as extras in the music video. None of them realize how uncomfortable Marinette is with all this.
* When Chloé shows up to the music video shoot wearing an exact replica of her Scarlet Lady costume, she gets a few comments about how [[DramaticIrony she looks nothing like the heroine]].
-->'''Tags:''' #[[YourCostumeNeedsWork 'she doesn't even LOOK like Scarlet Lady']] is my magnum opus lmao
* Clara flat-out tells Chloé that Scarlet Lady isn't featured in the video, so Chloé demands to know why they're excluding Scarlet Lady, [[IRejectYourReality THE Hero of Paris according to her]], from a video about the Heroes of Paris. Cue Lila sporting a BattleAura, ready to answer the question:
-->'''Lila:''' '''''FINALLY'''''... [[LargeHam My time has come!]]\\
'''Caption:''' Let's be real: if anyone was going to give Scar a Public Dressing Down, it was going to be Lila.
** Chloé makes some hilarious expressions throughout the whole exchange. She also asks why Lila has a list of the Ladybug heroine's failures already compiled on her phone.
** After Lila ''destroys'' the idea Scarlet Lady is a hero, Clara wonders if she's just that good at being a debater or a passionate hater... showing she also [[RhymesOnADime rhymes in her mind]].
** The crowd also echoes Lila's sentiment that Scarlet Lady is barely a hero at all, with someone from the crowd yelling, "Scarlet Lday ''sucks!''" The panel even labels it "Some Rando."
* Even after Chloé shows up wearing a Scarlet Lady costume without anybody suspecting she's the real deal, Marinette [[DramaticIrony remains worried]] about being exposed as Marigold. For the second time in the same episode, Pollen can't offer any real advice to her queen without outing the other heroes' identities. so the Kwami's response?
-->'''Pollen''': ''[AsideGlance]'' Hm, you think so? You'd be surprised.
* Clara Nightingale sees the costumed Adrien and Marinette interacting like the real Chat Noir and Marigold and [[EntertaininglyWrong thinks the two are just getting into character]]. She even praises them as [[DramaticIrony being perfect for the roles]].
* Of all stuff Mayor Bourgeois could have made up to prevent Clara from shooting her video, he went and chose [[ShoutOut "permit A38]] [[WesternAnimation/TheTwelveTasksOfAsterix as stipulated by circular B65."]]
** The author is quick to point out, in a follow-up post, that this reference is straight from dialog on the show. "So if anything, the '''show''' made the reference."
* When the temp heroines meet and try to hash out a plan to help Chat Noir and Marigold, Koki Marina asks the others if [[DramaticIrony they know about Kitty Section]]. Purple Tigress, Pigella, and Ultimutt quickly and cheerfully mention how much they love certain members of the group (read: Luka and their respective significant others).
* Naturally, Scarlet Lady is just happy that the "sidekicks" are keeping the akuma away from her. Sabrina and Lila filming her in the background with the most annoyed facial expressions sell it.
* Using Clara's weakness for music against her, the female team of new Miraculous heroes stage a girl band to trick Frightningale. She gets close to listen, against the advice of Hawkmoth.

** After Frightningale is knocked out, Scarlet Lady chooses that moment to show up, [[NiceJobBreakingItHero giving the akuma an opening to counter-attack]]. Koki Marina's Shell-ter barely just saves the Ladybug heroine in the nick of time. [[UngratefulBitch Guess how Scar responds?]]

-->'''Chat Noir:''' [[ThisIsGonnaSuck Think we can separate them without them realizing we just gave their bestie magic jewelry?]]\\
'''Marigold:''' When two new heroes show up at the same time? Not a chance.
* When Chat Noir presents to the Rooster Miraculous to Lila, mentioning it grants the power of Pretension, Lila has a rather interesting reaction:
-->'''Lila:''' [[ComicallyMissingThePoint Did you just call me pretentious?]]\\
'''Caption:''' I-it has two meanings, Lila, I swear!
* Before Lila accepts the Rooster, she has just one question:
-->'''Lila:''' I don't have to take orders from Scarlet Lady, do I?\\
'''Chat Noir:''' Literally no one does.
* Fenice uses Sublimation to give herself the [[RhymesOnADime ability to always rhyme]]. Frightningale gets so annoyed at the fact that Fenice keeps on rhyming without getting tired that she [[ScrewThisImOuttaHere runs off]].
-->'''Frightningale:''' So annoying, give me a break! You're not who I'm after for goodness sake!
* Meanwhile, Scarlet Lady is annoyed at being stuck with Koki Marina in the latter's Shell-ter while Koki tries to calm herself down so she doesn't yell at Scar.
* After Lila returns the Miraculous, she asks if she could replace Scarlet Lady, but Orikko shoots that down.
-->'''Lila:''' With the Rooster able to have any power, don't you not '''''need''''' Scarlet Lady anymore?\\
'''Orikko:''' Sorry, but I can't grant the same power of another Kwami. [[CurseCutShort Tikki would beat my as--]]

** A bemused Chat Noir eventually reminds the two that he needs to take Orikko back.

[[folder:Intermission 3]]
* Chat Noir had the idea of team building exercises, starting with having everyone patrolling in pairs. He's also wondering how it is that Marigold already has a list of pairs for the first outing.
* Marigold fills Lila in but gets distracted:
-->'''Lila:''' Okay, but could you stop cleaning up my room?\\
'''Marigold:''' Only if you stop living like this.
* Nino wonders if Koki Marina is following him and Alya online. Additionally, Foxtrot and Koki Marina declare that the other is the coolest person ever, aside from, [[DramaticIrony of course]], their respective significant others.
* King Monkey and Pegasus talk about their Kwamis; King Monkey compares Xuppu to "an annoying little brother", which Pegasus gives his condolences for. However...
-->'''King Monkey:''' What do you mean? He's the worst and I '''''love''''' him.
* Minotaurox and Ultimutt questioning how theirs and the other hero's tools can be used as phones and wonders if they can also play music.
* Since Fenice and Comousiner know each other's identities, when they meet on patrol, they greet each other in an [[OverlyPolitePals overly polite way]], as if they'd never met before "Frightningale"... before bursting into laughter.
* Fenice's faces as she bemoans that she hasn't figured out how to replace Scarlet Lady with the Rooster's powers or even the limitations of her power, lamenting, "Ahhhh, my life is harder than everyoneee's!"
* Caprikid ended up being alone in the exercise. He barely has the time to say that he was fine being alone before [[UnexpectedCharacter Bunnyx]] shows up with spray paint to keep him company.
** The author later specified this is actually ''canon'' Bunnix, visiting this timeline [[https://zoe-oneesama.tumblr.com/post/731382047400181760/as-someone-who-loves-the-rabbit-miraculous-i-love because she was bored]].

-->'''Zoé:''' Who's Marigold?\\
'''Chloé:''' There's hope for you yet! [[BondingOverDislikes We might just get along.]]\\
'''André:''' Phew.
* As Chloé details everything she knows about having minions, Zoé bemusedly compares her to their mother. Chloé [[DramaticallyMissingThePoint takes it as a compliment]].
* As the principal introduces Zoé to her classmates, he tells them "Please obey, ''I mean'', give her a warm welcome."
* Upon trying to ask Adrien what Zoé is like, Adrien reveals that this is his first time learning about her as well, causing his friends to wonder how he somehow didn't know his childhood friend had a sister.
* Chloé shows the class a video of her and Scarlet Lady speaking (only ever showing one of them at a time of course) and [[ButHeSoundsHandsome praising each other]], and Alya calls her out for expecting them to buy that bull. Chloé replies it's the real Scarlet Lady... and it turns out Alya ''believes'' that. What she really meant was that Chloé ''and'' Scar are liars for claiming Scar cleans up after Chat Noir and Marigold's messes. Meanwhile, Zoé squints in confusion as she watches the video and tries to figure out what the hell is happening.
* Chloé demands to know why no one is showing Scarlet Lady any respect. Marinette replies that Lila explained it at Clara Nightingale's audition. Lila offers to explain it again.
-->'''Marinette:''' [[DeadpanSnarker Once was plenty, thanks.]]
* Chloé turns to Zoé for ComplimentFishing. Zoé asks who Scarlet Lady is, which causes Chloé to make a ''[[GoblinFace horrified]]'' face.
-->'''Caption:''' Easy come, easy go when it comes to Chloe's affection, Zoe.
* Chloé's self-absorption is such that she sees nothing wrong with interrupting a wedding her father is officiating and ''pushing the bride, groom, and guests out of her father's office''.
* André asks why Chloé wants Zoé to be banished from Paris.
-->'''Chloé:''' She came all the way to Paris and didn't even know who '''''Scarlet Lady''''' was! The lack of patriotism!\\
'''André:''' ...[[DisappointedByTheMotive That's it?]]
* Chloé decides to leave for New York with Audrey because her father being the mayor is (to her) useless, and Audrey at least won't disrespect her. André asks his wife if it's true, only for Audrey to yell, "Ugh, ''obviously''!"... right before it's revealed [[BaitAndSwitchComment she's been on the phone the entire time and was actually yelling at an intern on the other end of a call]]. In fact, [[CaptainOblivious she doesn't seem to have even realized her husband asking her a question, nor does she appear to notice Chloé dragging her into a helicopter]].
** When the two leave in helicopter, André is distraught... while Hawkmoth expresses surprise that the mayor didn't crack much earlier.
** [[FunnyBackgroundEvent The hotel staff can be seen waving goodbye at the chopper]].
** Tikki obviously questions Chloé on why she's going to New York when there's Hawkmoth to fight, and Chloé answers she'll return... once Paris ''begs'' for Scarlet Lady to come back.
* Like in canon, practically everyone rejoices when Chloé announces she's leaving Paris. The celebratory mood ends when Zoé asks what they're celebrating, reminding them that "''she's'' still here." The page's caption even reads, "Every party needs a pooper that's why they invited you~."
** There's some humor in that Chloé's so deluded that she actually thinks the school will be sad to see her go (or at least more envious that she gets to New York than relieved they won't have to endure her presence).
** Principal Damocles can be seen hugging a teacher while [[FormerFriendOfAlphaBitch Sabrina]] and Lila hug each other.
* When the helicopter lands, Audrey barks, "Claudette! This isn't my office!" It goes to show that Audrey is [[CaptainOblivious in her own world]] and that Chloé had zero chance of getting her to leave Paris before the fashion show, even if Malediktator didn't intervene.
* When Chloé sees her parents kissing, she reacts with an '''''[[ParentalSexualitySquick EW!]]'''''.
* Chloé's main worry after sneaking away to transform? [[SkewedPriorities That she's going to have to do it in a rank subway.]]
* A bonus panel shows Scarlet Lady upset at her father for having a tantrum when she has to figure out what to wear to the fashion show.
* Zoé gets her first taste of an average day in Paris. First, her stepfather, turned into an akuma, orders everyone to tear the school down, which they gleefully begin doing, and before she can ask Marinette or Adrien what the hell is going on, she notices that [[StealthHiBye the two of them have already vanished]].
* Malediktator makes Chat Noir behave like a cat, believing it'd become easy to take the latter's Miraculous. [[HoistByHisOwnPetard Instead, Chat Noir viciously hisses at Malediktator when the akuma gets close.]] A bonus panel later shows [[KindheartedCatLover Audrey wanting Chat Noir as a pet]], which Malediktator actually ''acquiesces'' to, at least for a short while.
-->'''Audrey:''' ''[playing with Chat Noir]'' Please, Malediktatorkins, can't we keep him just a little longer?\\
'''Malediktator:''' ''[sighing]'' Well, if it makes you happy.
* After Marigold saves her, Zoé kindly thanks her. Marigold, who saw Zoé acting like and defending her AlphaBitch sister earlier, is confused at the complete change in attitude and assumes that she's only being respectful to suck up to a superhero.
* When Scarlet Lady tries to blame Zoé for causing Malediktator, saying it's because Zoé didn't defned the heroine in class earlier, Zoé hits her RageBreakingPoint. The Ladybug heroine is caught quite off guard when Zoé mentions how ubiquitous superheroes are in New York and left at a loss for words when Zoé asks how the incident in the classroom has anything to do with André.
* Scarlet Lady, unlike Marigold, eagerly accepts Zoé's offer to help because she can't reveal that the supposed safe place "she took Chloé to" isn't actually real.
* Just like in canon, the Lucky Charm takes the form of a freaking ''rocket launcher''. Zoé nervously asks that the heroes not kill her stepdad, to which Marigold assures her that they don't use such violent methods. [[JerkassHasAPoint Scarlet Lady then has a flashback to all the times they defeated akumas by just throwing the Lucky Charm at them or using other violent methods (such as when Multimouse bit the Puppeteer)]].
-->'''Caption:''' [[{{Hypocrite}} Your track record says different.]]
* It disgusts both Chloé and Zoé seeing how their mother behaves under Malediktator's power.
-->'''Audrey:''' Aww, honeypie, we'll be so happy together! Come to mommy, Zoé!\\
'''Scarlet Lady:''' Disgusting.\\
'''Zoé:''' [[WeWantOurJerkBack Please turn Mom back to normal.]] She's creeping me out.\\
'''Malediktator: ''Never!'''''
* While under the influence of Malediktator's powers, Chat Noir has a CatSmile when he [[CatsLoveLaserPointers notices the laser pointer]] and pounces at one of the guards.
* After his deakumatization, Mayor Bourgeois is impressed that Zoé has already learned how to control her half-sister. Meanwhile, Audrey is only concerned about losing a whole day on her schedule.

[[folder:Style Queen: Tales of Audrey the Fashion Critic]]
* Gabriel's show is beginning, with people walking down the red carpet... and Marinette begins to have one of her catastrophe spirals while Pollen {{sweatdrop}}s:
-->'''Marinette:''' This is the ugliest hat in the world and I'm forcing Adrien to wear it and he'll resent me for the rest of his life, I have zero talent and everyone is about to find out--
* Pollen cheers Marinette up, and Marinette asks her Kwami when she became so wise.
-->'''Pollen:''' Through your guidance, I've learned when to be proactive and when to hold back, My Queen! [[IllNeverTellYouWhatImTellingYou I haven't even let slip that]] [[SayingTooMuch I know Chat Noir or Scarlet Lady's identities]]--\\
'''Marinette:''' '''''[[FlatWhat What?]]'''''\\
'''Pollen:''' '''[[OhCrap Oh no.]]''' Tikki's going to '''''end''''' me.
* The fashion spread offers gems such as [[BrickJoke Prince Ali with Rose and Juleka on his arms]], Lila acting like a supermodel while Ivan and Mylène look at her worriedly, [[LesYay Aurore posing next to Kagami]], and Ondine blushing as Clara Nightingale asks her if Gabriel made her dress (it was actually Marinette).
* As Audrey and Chloé make their way on the red carpet, they keep firing people--even those they have no business in firing.
** One of Audrey's demands was a ''marble red carpet''.
** Roger makes a WTF face as Audrey and Chloé "fire" him (since it's already been established that even Mayor Bourgeois doesn't have the authority to do that).
* Chloé brings a present for Audrey... who rejects it because the wrapping is "ridiculous, '''utterly''' ridiculous." Zoé then [[BatmanGambit tricks her mother]] into accepting the gift and sticks her tongue out while looking away.
--->'''Zoé:''' I'll take it then, Chloé. Since mom doesn't like "new" things.\\
'''Chloé:''' Huh?\\
'''Audrey:''' What'd you say?! I am the '''''discoverer''''' of new things! Give me that!\\
'''Chloé:''' Yay!\\
'''Zoé:''' ''[thinking]'' Sucker! You're welcome, Chloé.
* Marinette's surprise at how different Nathalie looks with her hair down.
* Adrien is in his dressing room, nervously feeling like a dork. Plagg is less than helpful by [[BrutalHonesty pointing out how he looks like one, too]]. Marinette then arrives to deliver the hat she made and rambles over how it's no good, even apologizing for forcing him to wear it. Adrien doesn't care, though, as seeing his girlfriend all dolled up instantly puts him at ease.
** Adrien models Marinette's hat, complimenting her on her skills and reassuring her that it looks great. He also points out that Gabriel, who has impossible standards, picked it himself. The two start slipping into full-tilt flirt mode when Nathalie needs to point out something:
---> '''Nathalie''': {{Ahem}}. [[GetARoom I am, in fact,]] [[MomentKiller still here children.]]
--->'''[=Adrien/Marinette=]''': ''[Embarrassed]'' Ah! Um...

!!Season 1
[[folder:Origins Part 1: Tales of Chloé the Ladybug]]
* Marinette's initial reaction to the report of Stoneheart's appearance? [[UnusuallyUninterestingSight An apathetic "Sucks"]] [[https://zoe-oneesama.tumblr.com/post/182259726909/thought-you-could-slack-off-did-you-episode-1 as she munches on popcorn]]. She only reacts when she notices Alya [[GoingForTheBigScoop pedaling after it]]. The creator comment of "Thought you could slack off, did you?!" under the strip [[DoubleMeaning feels like it applies]] to both Chloé ''and'' [[MissedTheCall her]].
* How Scarlet Lady and Chat Noir meet: [[https://zoe-oneesama.tumblr.com/post/182307166004/is-it-always-gonna-be-like-this-episode-1-part-3 the former is flung headlong into the latter]].
-->'''Chat Noir:''' [[IncrediblyLamePun Well, nice of you to drop in!]]\\
'''Scarlet Lady:''' ''[[[LamePunReaction face scrunched up]]]'' [[ThisIsGonnaSuck Omigod, no]].
* Scarlet's attempt to make "Clumsinette" look bad by refusing to help completely backfires when the latter instead ''immediately'' snaps into Heroine Mode and takes charge of the situation.
* In the seventh panel of part 6, the akuma hovers behind Scarlet Lady, asking if she's going to try to capture it. When she doesn't, the akuma says goodbye and flutters away in the next panel.
-->'''Akuma:''' K, C U tomorrow.
* Wayzz and Master Fu's reactions to the [[https://zoe-oneesama.tumblr.com/post/182693839374/no-one-likes-this-punchline-episode-1-part-7 news of Scarlet Lady's debut]] (which also features Marinette as her civilian self, thus revealing she isn't the Ladybug heroine):

[[folder:Origins Part 2: Tales of Chat Noir the Exhausted]]
* Marinette's unimpressed expression when Alya [[https://zoe-oneesama.tumblr.com/post/182790688664/its-not-good-to-suppress-your-true-feelings gushes about Scarlet Lady]], only to snap into a flowery smile when Alya glances back.
* Adrien discovers just how much he's been holding back:
-->'''Natalie:''' Adrien! Don't do this! Your father will be furious!\\
'''Adrien:''' ''[thinking] I let myself be bossed around yesterday, but no more! Tell them what you really think!''\\
'''Adrien:''' ''[out loud]'' TELL HIM [[PrecisionFStrike F@$% YOU!!!]]\\
'''Natalie:''' ?!\\
'''Adrien:''' ''[thinking] Maybe I've been holding in more than I thought.''\\
'''Adrien:''' Please?
* Chloé's blank expression when [[https://zoe-oneesama.tumblr.com/post/182855950174/gawd-adrien-dont-you-know-where-the-focus-is Adrien praises Chat Noir]]. It's followed by her ''trying'' to compliment the cat and [[BloodFromTheMouth spitting blood]] from the effort.
* Sabrina's inner thoughts as Chloé starts gushing to her about Scarlet Lady reveal that [[https://zoe-oneesama.tumblr.com/post/182946977619/dont-get-too-excited-guys-episode-2-part-3 she's more relieved that this means]] her friend's distracted from her original plans:
-->'''Sabrina:''' ''[thinking] I don't know why Chloé's so into Scarlet Lady... [sweating as she glances away guiltily] [[PragmaticVillainy But at least now I don't have to touch chewed gum!]] You're welcome, Marinette.''
* When Stoneheart [[https://zoe-oneesama.tumblr.com/post/183103967199/at-least-one-of-these-heroes-is-paying-attention pitches Marinette]], Mayor André and Chat Noir are both ''horrified''... while Scarlet Lady dispassionately examines her nails. The mayor and Chat Noir soon notice the Ladybug heroine's lack of concern and just stare at her in shock.
* Marinette's reaction to Chat Noir catching her and calling her "Princess": one panel of sparkly-eyed admiration followed by squinting and a flat "Princess?"
* Alya's teary-eyed commentary in the bonus:
-->'''Alya:''' ''[typing]'' Scarlet Lady is rushing to the Eiffel Tower to deal with the akuma, a complete professional decision that I 100% stand behind and I'm definitely not bitter about.
* Hawkmoth's communication through the butterflies is [[https://zoe-oneesama.tumblr.com/post/183174797289/tensions-are-pretty-high-as-you-can-see-episode depicted as a latch-mouthed]], ovaloid VideoGame/PacMan. The page is tagged, [[HashtagForLaughs "#Waka Waka Waka Hawkmoth."]]
* As Chat Noir goes starry-eyed over Marinette's [[ShutUpHannibal rebuke]], you can see that she's [[FlippingTheBird flipping Hawkmoth off]]. [[AmazonChaser He was gone]] the moment she told the villain to go [[PrecisionFStrike fuck himself]].
* Nathaniel and Ivan [[FunnyBackgroundEvent scoot away from Marinette]] as she [[https://zoe-oneesama.tumblr.com/post/183436865534/get-rekt-episode-2-part-9-first-previous gleefully waits for Chloé]] to show up. Marinette even has a pair of devil horns with a CheshireCatGrin!
* The fact that Chloé is the most upset by Marinette [[ITakeOffenseToThatLastOne insulting her ponytail]] in her TheReasonYouSuckSpeech. Sabrina even lampshades this.
* Marinette and Adrien [[BondingOverDislikes bond]] [[https://zoe-oneesama.tumblr.com/post/183593974689/justplay-in-the-rain-while-you-read-this-to over their mutual hatred of Scarlet Lady]].

'''Marinette:''' So then... what about Scarlet Lady?\\
'''Adrien:''' Oh, she's the worst. Tool all the credit did none of the work? Ugh.\\
'''Marinette:''' ''[whispering]'' ... I love you.

[[folder:Stormy Weather: Tales of Aurore the Weather Girl]]
* Tikki rejects Chloé's offer of tiny chocolates, insisting that she [[TrademarkFavoriteFood only eats cookies]]. The Kwami follows this with a moment of consideration before adding, "''Dupain-Cheng'' cookies only," while [[https://zoe-oneesama.tumblr.com/post/183637802834/you-just-like-mireille-because-she-wears-her upending the chocolate plate like a cat]].
* Adrien fantasizes about doing the photo-shoot with Marinette... only for Vincent to pick Alya. Adrien's face is hilarious, as is Alya's reaction:
-->'''Alya:''' [[SarcasmMode Whoa, curb your enthusiasm.]] Dick.
* Alya tries to cheer Adrien up by pointing to the approaching Marinette, telling him, [[TemptingFate "The perfect girl for the job is right over there"]]... right before Chloé arrives and shoves Marinette aside.
-->'''Adrien:''' Why can things never just be nice.
* Aurore [[https://zoe-oneesama.tumblr.com/post/183922938949/adrien-cant-catch-a-break-agreste-episode-3-part furiously ranting to Hawkmoth]] while the caption berates her to not [[CommonalityConnection bond]] with the supervillain:
-->'''Hawkmoth:''' You definitely should have won.\\
'''Aurore:''' I '''''obviously''''' should have won!!! Mireille can't even look at the camera for more than 5 seconds!!\\
'''Hawkmoth:''' Ah, yes, I agree. Which is why--\\
'''Aurore:''' And she never dresses professionally! Is she gonna give the report in her pajamas?!\\
'''Hawkmoth:''' Ugh. Nothing worse than a sloppy-looking crew.\\
'''Aurore:''' Thank you!!!
* Vincent is unimpressed by [[https://zoe-oneesama.tumblr.com/post/183997570409/frostbite-is-nothing-to-worry-about-right Chloé's attempt to horn in on HIS photo shoot]]:
-->'''Chloé:''' Do you know who you're talking to?!\\
'''Vincent:''' ''[glances down]'' An idiot who wears white pants to the park?
* After Vincent declares that he's already chosen Alya as a model while the two of them smirk at an infuriated Chloé... only to both develop BlankWhiteEyes in the fraction of a second they have to react to being frozen solid by Stormy Weather.
* When Marinette asks Aurore [[ArmorPiercingQuestion why she's at the park]], Aurore responds by saying she's now Stormy Weather... followed by a beat as she wonders ''why'' she came to the park:
-->'''Stormy Weather:''' Wait, why '''''did''''' I come here? It's just balloons.
* Stormy Weather asks Marinette whom she voted for; Marinette answers Aurore. Then Manon [[TooDumbToLive jumps in to say she voted for Mireille]]. Marinette glares at the little girl while Stormy Weather [[WouldHurtAChild aims her weapon at Manon]]. The author notes that considering who [[GoingForTheBigScoop Manon's]] [[IntrepidReporter mother]] is, lack of self-preservation probably runs in the family.
-->'''Caption:''' Should've kept that one to yourself Manon.
* Marinette [[FailedASpotCheck completely misses]] Adrien transforming into Chat Noir right behind her.
* When Tikki tells Chloé she needs to transform, Chloé for once immediately agrees with her. [[HopeSpot Tikki thinks she's finally managed to get Chloé to think selflessly...]] only to get her hopes crushed when Chloé makes it clear [[PragmaticVillainy she's only acting because Stormy Weather ruined her "date" with Adrien]].
* Chat Noir's response to Scarlet Lady declaring that Stormy Weather ruined her date:
-->'''Chat Noir:''' Someone wants to date you?
** Scarlet Lady attempts to throw her yo-yo at Stormy... [[EpicFail and it lands barely a meter away from her]]. Chat Noir struggles not to crack up laughing.
** After her yo-yo attack fails, Scarlet tries to ChangeTheUncomfortableSubject by ordering her partner to defeat the akuma. It doesn't quite work.
-->'''Scarlet Lady:''' ''[blushing]'' Well, hurry up and take her out!\\
'''Chat Noir:''' ''[barely stifling a laugh]'' Omigod, you're so useless.
* Doubles as [[SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome Awesome]], but Stormy Weather quickly [[CurbStompBattle curb-stomps]] both heroes and even caps it all off with a FlawlessVictory pose. Scarlet even cries, [[RunningGag "My hair!"]] as she's being tossed into the fountain and is later seen completely unconscious.
* Marinette is forced to just sit on the park bench and wait for Stormy Weather to get deakumatized, all while Master Fu [[StalkerWithoutACrush secretly watches her from behind a nearby tree]]. Marinette then suddenly yells in frustration, startling Fu as well.
* Chat Noir finds the sight of Alec Cataldi frozen in a block of ice to be [[NoSympathy strangely satisfying]] despite not even knowing the host had rigged the weather girl contest.
* The Lucky Charm is a towel. Scarlet Lady proclaims that it's perfect, and [[HopeSpot Chat Noir is surprised she actually has a plan for once]]... only to then see her use it to dry off her hair.
* Chat Noir just can't resist making puns. When he's just forced Stormy Weather to land:
-->'''Chat Noir:''' You're grounded, Stormy Weather.\\
'''Stormy Weather:''' [[LamePunReaction Omigod, no. Just end me please.]]\\
'''Tags:''' #stormy there's going to be puns you've got to accept that fact
* After Stormy Weather is defeated, Alya still shivers a bit from being frozen solid.
* When the photo-shoot restarts, Chloé attempts to shoehorn herself in as Adrien's partner, only for The Gorilla to grab her, put her to the side, push Marinette forward in her place, and give Marinette and Adrien a thumbs up while the bodyguard's charge sports a shit-eating grin. The Gorilla even does all this without changing his expression.
* Aurore begins to apologize to Mireille for not [[GracefulLoser handling her loss gracefully]]... only for Mireille to beg ''her'' to be the weather girl instead. It turns out Mireille tweeted out that the results were rigged, and Alec now has to deal with a flood of calls from Aurore's angry fans. Aurore even gives a FlatWhat when she learns this.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Bubbler: Tales of Nino the Party Planner]]
* Marinette glances at her photo with Adrien taken at the end of "Stormy Weather" and wishes him happy birthday... which is followed by a DescriptionCut of a tired Adrien with bags under his eyes, {{faceplant}}ing into his breakfast while dozing off at the table.
-->'''Nathalie:''' Good morni-ADRIEN!\\
'''Caption:''' Tell it to my eye bags, Nathalie.
* Adrien asks about having a party:
-->'''Adrien:''' Did Father say anything about having a party?\\
'''Nathalie:''' He... doesn't think it's a good idea.\\
'''Adrien:''' [[ArmorPiercingQuestion But... why?]]\\
'''Nathalie:''' [[BecauseISaidSo BECAUSE-!]]\\
''[{{beat}}]''\\
'''Adrien:''' You got nuthing.
* Chloé lets out a BigWhat as Nino wishes Adrien a happy birthday, frightening the two guys. She's then seen throttling Sabrina by the collar, causing her friend to [[GivingUpTheGhost give up the ghost]].
* Adrien getting down on one knee when Marinette gives him coffee and cookies. And right after [[InstantlyProvenWrong Chloé declared he wouldn't touch those gifts]], too.
* Nathalie looks around and does some NotSoInnocentWhistling as she takes Marinette's gift for Adrien and prepares to pass it off as being from Gabriel.
* Mr. Agreste's opinion of Nino as "fashion trash."
* Adrien's response to his father not only refusing to let him have a party but also banning Nino from the house? He announces that [[NonconformistDyedHair he will dye his hair green]], causing his father to have an ''epic'' JawDrop. The following day, [[BrickJoke Adrien's revealed to have in fact gone through with it]].
* While getting akumatized, Nino commenting on how Hawkmoth seems out of breath:
-->'''Nino:''' No, seriously, you sound like a geriatric. Like ''[[DramaticIrony Adrien's pops]]'' [[MoreInsultingThanIntended old]].\\
'''Hawkmoth:''' ''[CrossPoppingVeins]''
* Marinette finds herself [[VillainHasAPoint accidentally agreeing with The Bubbler]] about how unfair it is that Gabriel refuses to even let Adrien have a birthday party.
* Adrien battles between having the first birthday party of his life (and leaving the akuma to Scarlet Lady) or doing the responsible thing as Chat Noir:
-->'''Narration:''' [[NotSoAboveItAll He choose party.]]
* What ultimately spurs Chloé into action? The Bubbler allowing [[GreenEyedMonster Marinette and Adrien to share a slow dance together]] (when ''[[HoistByTheirOwnPetard she]]'' [[BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor requested a slow dance song]], no less).
-->'''Tikki''': Chloé! The '''''Bubbler!'''''\\
'''Chloé:''' Would you buzz off?! Wait until '''''after''''' my dance with-- ''[sees Adrien dancing with Marinette]'' '''''Adrien?!''''' This akuma must be stopped!\\
'''Tikki''': Oh Lord.
* In the bonus strip, Alix dances with Max... who doesn't have his glasses because The Bubbler captured his mother while she was cleaning them. He mentions that he wouldn't know who he was talking to if it weren't for the hair.
* Seeing Scarlet Lady about to fight The Bubbler, [[TemptingFate Adrien thinks that it should be funny to watch the heroine take on a villain by herself for once]]... right before [[BerserkButton he sees Marinette get bubbled and sent into the atmosphere as well]]. Adrien is ''so'' infuriated by this that he nearly ''transforms out in the open''. Plagg has to remind him to find a place to hide first.
* [[BigDamnHeroes Chat Noir saves a distracted Scarlet Lady from being bubbled by tackling her to the ground.]] Unfortunately, the Ladybug heroine [[UngratefulBitch isn't the least bit grateful about it]].
-->'''Scarlet Lady:''' ''[pinching Chat Noir's nose]'' Get off me!! [[RunningGag You better not have messed up my hair!!]]\\
'''Chat Noir:''' Ow! Ugh, if I didn't need your Lucky Charm...\\
'''Caption:''' Dammit, Chat Noir, NOW people are going to [[ShippingGoggles SHIP IT]]!
* The author notes that one of the panels shows Chat Noir's rear.
-->'''Tags:''' #I call this the butt page
* Scarlet Lady finally summons Lucky Charm, which takes the form of a large spanner... and then just nonchalantly hands it over to her partner.
-->'''Scarlet Lady:''' Lucky Charm or whatever.\\
'''Chat Noir:''' Wow, curb your enthusiasm\\
'''Scarlet Lady:''' ''[catching and tossing the spanner to Chat Noir]'' Here you go.\\
'''Chat Noir:''' [[YouHaveGotToBeKiddingMe Seriously?!]]\\
'''Caption:''' Do you care about ANYTHING once your spectators are gone Scarlet?
** Chat Noir manages to use the Lucky Charm... by [[CuttingTheKnot throwing it at The Bubbler and hitting him in the head with it]].
** He later has to carry both the passed-out Bubbler and the Lucky Charm spanner down from the Eiffel Tower and bring them to Scarlet Lady (who apparently spent the entire fight examining her nails despite her costume covering her entire hand) so she can cast the Miraculous Cure.
* [[ComicallyMissingThePoint Hawkmoth praises Scarlet Lady for cleverly staying away from the fight to protect her earrings]]. The truth, of course, is that [[EntertaininglyWrong Scarlet Lady is just too lazy to actually participate in fights]].
* Nathalie nervously tries to pass Marinette's present off as Gabriel's, even appearing in front of Adrien with a disheveled look as an arrow point at her says, "Totally didn't run." Adrien then skeptically looks at his wrapped birthday gift and wonders if it's stationary to go with the pens he's gotten in the past.
-->'''Nathalie:''' I DON'T KNOW they were '''''nice''''' pens!
* Marinette is so ''[[BerserkButton furious]]'' that Gabriel forgot his own son's birthday that she prevents Alya from explaining that Gabriel's present to Adrien was really from Marinette.
-->'''Caption:''' Don't worry about pissing off your dad, Adrien. Marinette's going to kill him before he ''ever'' sees your hair.

[[folder:Lady Wifi: Tales of Alya the Journalist]]
* When Mme. Bustier asks Sabrina where Adrien and Chloé are, we see a cutaway of the two fighting a monster. Well, ''Chat Noir'' is and wrapped up in its tentacle; Scarlet Lady, meanwhile, is preoccupied with putting on lipstick as she sits out the fight.
-->'''Sabrina:''' Uhhh... ''[[[DescriptionCut cutting to the pair, then back to her]]]'' ... Bathroom?
** Chat Noir can be seen SymbolSwearing, but it's hard to tell whether it's at the akuma or his partner for ignoring him just to apply lipstick.
** The best part? Mme. Bustier doesn't swallow the lie because she knows Chloé would ''never'' willingly enter a public bathroom.
** When Sabrina later asks about where Chloé is, Alya [[BrickJoke suggests she has IBS]].
* When Alya spots Marinette with a spotted yo-yo, she instantly suspects her to be Scarlet Lady, getting [[WingdingEyes starry eyes]] and crying, "Le gasp!"
** Alya then drags a comically confused Sabrina out of the room and has [[WingdingEyes hearts in her eyes]] as she exclaims how Marinette must be Scarlet Lady.
** After hearing Alya's theory, Sabrina's blank expression just screams, "Nope, don't want any of this," and she passes the buck onto Nino.
-->'''Caption:''' Sabrina can only handle a very specific kind of crazy, Alya, and you don't qualify.
* Alya tells Nino her theory. Nino says she's nuts because there's no way [[NiceGirl Marinette]] could be [[NominalHero Scarlet]] [[AlphaBitch Lady]]. Unfortunately, [[ComicallyMissingThePoint Alya doesn't quite get it]].
-->'''Nino:''' You're nuts.\\
'''Alya:''' Are you saying Marinette can't be a hero?!\\
'''Nino:''' Noooo, but have you ever actually met Scarlet Lady? She's kind of a b***h. Should have seen the way she talked to Chat after I woke up.\\
'''Alya:''' [[SustainedMisunderstanding Marinette would never! She's the nicest person we know!]]\\
'''Nino:''' I know, which is exactly why she couldn't possibly be Scarlet Lady.\\
'''Caption:''' Okay, but do you have ''evidence'' that Scarlet Lady is a shrew Nino?\\
'''Tags:''' #not everyone is as woke as Nino
* Nino suggests just asking Marinette about the spotted product. Alya tries to via a phone call but only gets her voice mail.
-->'''Alya:''' Well I tried, only one thing to do...\\
'''Nino:''' [[StatingTheSimpleSolution Ask her in the morning?]]\\
'''Alya:''' ''[[[WingdingEyes starry-eyed]]]'' [[PersonalSpaceInvader Break into her locker!]] We exchanged combos anyway.\\

* Chloé's [[BigWhat reaction when]] Sabrina tells her Alya's theory about Marinette being Scarlet Lady. Chloé's is visibly frightened while Tikki has a knowing expression and mischievous CheshireCatGrin at her holder's FreakOut.
* After finishing her project and getting started on her homework, Marinette decides that she should probably stop talking to herself.
-->'''Caption:''' Gee Marinette, it's almost as if something is ''missing''.
* Sabrina asks Chloé if she really wants to spy on Alya just for ''daring'' to think Marinette is Scarlet Lady. Chloé confirms she does and states Sabrina doesn't understand how important it is to her. Which, yeah, Sabrina pouts she ''doesn't'', mainly because she doesn't ''know'' Chloé ''is'' Scarlet Lady.
* Chloé melodramatically exclaiming how Alya invading Marinette's privacy robbed Marinette of her "soul" and corrupted her "essence" baffles everyone and causes them to {{sweatdrop}}.
** The caption details, "Chloe had to go to the bathroom after to [[BloodFromTheMouth cough up blood]] after ''defending'' Marinette Dupain-Cheng."
** Later, Kim and Sabrina are both confused by why Chloé would get Alya suspended for looking inside Marinette's locker, with Sabrina admitting that while she can usually follow Chloé's ([[ItsAllAboutMe twisted]]) logic, even that doesn't explain why she'd demand such a hars punishment for someonw who didn't even do anything to her.
* A bonus panel reveals Marinette slept in and is late for class. "I'm sure you didn't miss much," the caption replies.
* When Hawkmoth goes to akumatize Alya, Alya tells him about Marinette being Scarlet Lady... and he doesn't know who Marinette is. Funny 'cause, well, alternate timeline and all.
* Adrien's reaction when Nino tell him Alya's theory. Poor guy looks like he's about to faint.
* When Lady Wifi makes a transmission from M. Damocles's office and Marinette instantly recognizes she's Alya, Nino asks how she can tell despite the fact Lady Wifi ''clearly'' looks and talks like Alya.
** Marinette then gives Nino a "Really dude?" expression, and she sarcastically states it's "because of the phone charm." Nino just replies, "Whoa, you're right," [[SarcasmBlind not noticing his friend's sarcasm]].
--->'''Caption:''' [[SarcasmMode Yes it was definitely the]] ''[[SarcasmMode phone charm]]'' [[SarcasmMode and not her look, powers, or personality. The]] '''[[SarcasmMode phone charm]]''' [[SarcasmMode was the dead give away]] '''[[SarcasmMode for sure]]]'''.
** Look closely and you can see that it's taking Adrien an impressive amount of restraint to not burst out laughing at this.
* Plagg teases Adrien about liking Scarlet Lady if she really ''is'' Marinette, causing Adrien to sob at the thought of it being true. Plagg naturally knows that isn't the case [[TheGadfly but is having too much fun at Adrien's expense]].
-->'''Caption:''' The shortsightedness is rampant in this show.
* Meanwhile Tikki is angry at Chloé for what she did, only for Chloé to tell her to buzz off, feeling she's justified in stopping Alya from spreading a "ridiculous" rumor that Marinette could be Scarlet Lady. Apparently, Chloé is so self-centered and ditzy, she's forgotten that she got the Miraculous by stealing it from Marinette in the first place; she even tunes out Tikki when the Kwami attempts to remind her.
* Adrien goes to Marinette's place as Chat Noir, knowing Lady Wifi will head there. He starts to FreakOut when he sees Marinette with the mask and the yo-yo, but then Scarlet Lady shows up shortly after:
-->'''Scarlet Lady:''' Are you serious?! You think '''''she''''' could be '''''me?!'''''\\
'''Chat Noir:''' ''[thinking]'' Oh thank God.
* [[OhCrap Both Scarlet Lady and Chat Noir's reactions]] when they see Lady Wifi teleport Marinette away. Yeeeah, kinda forgot they were there to ''protect'' Marinette from her.
-->'''Caption:''' [[SarcasmMode You guys were very helpful, thank you for your contribution.]]
* All of Marinette's attempts to tell Lady Wifi that she isn't Scarlet Lady fall flat.
-->'''Marinette:''' I'm '''''not''''' Scarlet Lady.\\
'''Lady Wifi:''' '''''[[ComicallyMissingThePoint Obviously]]''''' you'd say that.\\
'''Marinette:''' I don't even '''''like''''' Scarlet Lady.\\
'''Lady Wifi:''' [[SustainedMisunderstanding Girl, we gotta work on your self esteem.]]\\
'''Caption:''' Alya, sometimes I feel like you're not ''hearing'' me.
* Lady Wifi claims that Marinette is Scarlet Lady in front of the whole city, which Marinette doesn't even fight over and is more embarrassed about, meekly waving to the camera and stating she isn't really.
* When Scarlet Lady and Chat Noir confront Lady Wifi at the hotel, the akuma does a few double-takes before deciding she'll rip Scarlet Lady's mask off her face after the Ladybug heroine insults her.
-->'''Caption:''' The ability to switch targets quickly is the mark of a true reporter (I guess).
* When seeing her own phone among the ones Lady Wifi has amassed, [[VerbalBackspace Scarlet Lady almost says, "My phone," before switching to "Chloé Bourgeois's phone."]]
* Marinette can be seen hugging a ladybug plushie (probably Chloé's) while grumbling that Alya dragged her all the way to the hotel and broadcasted her allegedly being Scarlet Lady to all of Paris, only to ditch her when teh heroes showed up.
-->'''Marinette:''' Alya, you're lucky I'm '''''not''''' a super hero cuz I'd yo-yo you in the face.
* Lady Wifi declares she'll take Scarlet Lady's earrings and give them to Marinette, proclaiming she'll be a much better hero. Chat Noir is actually ''[[ActuallyAGoodIdea on board]]'' with that idea, only to trip due to not seeing where he's running. [[TemptingFate Scarlet Lady starts to mock him]]... and likewise trips as well.
* When Lady Wifi has Scarlet Lady pinned down and tries to take off the latter's mask, Chat Noir comes in to save her, causing the akuma to think the two are romantically involved. Scarlet Lady ''instantly'' kicks her in the face for that while viciously denying anything of the sort in a WallOfText.
* When Hawkmoth tries to get Lady Wifi to take Chloé's Miraculous, the heroine is still in rant mode, kicking wildly and even ''[[FlippingTheBird flipping the akuma off]]'', which Lady Wifi censors with her lock symbols:
-->'''Lady Wifi:''' Yeah, no, I'm not going near ''that''!
* Lady Wifi tries to stop Chat Noir from destroying the wifi antenna... and he just smacks her off by throwing his baton at her head.
* Marinette and Scarlet Lady end up running up the stairs to the roof at the same time... and quickly proceed to yell at each other.
* After Alya is cleansed, Alya starts to fangirl at seeing Scarlet Lady and wants to get an interview. Naturally Chloé is more than happy to give her one, not realizing that the time limit for her powers is about to run out. Chat Noir promptly grabs her, goes back into the hotel, and dumps her into a nearby storage closet before she changes back, with her complaining all the way till he shuts the door.
-->'''Chat Noir:''' Ah, silence.
* While visiting Alya the next day, Marinette teases Alya about failing to use her memory about the Stoneheart incident to figure out Marinette couldn't be Scarlet Lady. Alya hangs her head in shame as she apologizes.
* Adrien is later seen holding the picture from his photoshoot with Marinette, tearfully declaring he'll never doubt her again.
-->'''Caption:''' This left some nightmares he'll never forget.
* Tikki hides Chloé's diamond scrunchie and destroys her curling iron as retribution for Chloé messing with Alya. The Kwami's CheshireCatGrin at her holder's misfortune just sells it.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Copycat: Tales of Théo the Admirer]]
* Upon learning that Chloé getting ready a statue unveiling to celebrate Scarlet Lady and Chat Noir, an exasperated Tikki [[WhatTheHellHero scolds Chloé's selfish reason for being a hero]] and points out that [[ComicallyMissingThePoint she'll being wearing a mask]], meaning nobody will even see all the makeup she putting on.
-->'''Caption:''' C'mon Tikki, the blue with the red ''really'' sells that patriotic vibe (which is to say there isn't one.)
* There's a RunningGag of people asking Théo how old he is.
* The DramaticIrony of Théo being RightForTheWrongReasons: Scarlet Lady's crush is indeed Chat Noir, or rather, his civilian identity.
* Adrien sees the statue of Scarlet Lady and Chat Noir, with the perspective making it look like the former is standing on the latter's back. He's not very impressed:
-->'''Adrien:''' Even as a statue, I'm pulling all the weight.\\
'''Tags:''' #adrien: I don't know what I was expecting
* When Copycat kidnaps Marinette and chains her, he forgets to take her phone.
-->'''Caption:''' I feel like you might've forgotten some things in your infinite wisom there, Copycat.
** She proceeds to post a selfie with a comment riffing on Copycat's incompetence.
--->'''Marinette's post:''' Lawl, this scrub shackled my hands but didn't take my phone.\\
#bad@villaining #thesculptordidit #chatisinnocent #bewareoftraps
** Marinette later [[FirstPersonSmartass mentally snarks]] at Copycat's [[DidntThinkThisThrough poor planning]], [[MissingStepsPlan wondering how he intended to get Chat Noir to come to the studio to begin with]].
--->'''Copycat:''' ''[after noticing that Marinette had posted about him and his location on social media]'' Seriously? I can't ignore you for a second without you putting me on blast?\\
'''Marinette:''' ''[thinking]'' Well, what is ''your'' plan for getting Chat Noir here? Sitting around and doing nothing?\\
'''Caption:''' It's almost like you were banking on this guy just walking into your warehouse without knowing who the heck you are or where the heck you work :T
* Chat Nori ends up fleeing on all fours while being pursued by the police. Scarlet Lady can't stop laughing at the sight.
* The face Chat Noir makes after hearing Copycat declare the former is Scarlet Lady's "dream guy."
* After Marinette steals Copycat's baton:
-->'''Marinette:''' Scarlet Lady, call your Lucky Charm!\\
'''Scarlet Lady:''' '''''I''''' am the hero here! '''''You''''' don't tell me what to do!\\
'''Marinette:''' [[ArmorPiercingQuestion Oh, so you want a knock off Chat Noir chasing after you forever?]]\\
'''Scarlet Lady:''' ''[[[{{Touche}} with a pained face]]]'' Lucky Charm.
* The Lucky Charm is a spoon, which Marinette ties to Chat Noir's baton like a hook for a fishing pole.
-->'''Scarlet Lady:''' You're kidding. You think you're taking him out with a '''''spoon'''''?\\
'''Marinette:''' Maybe not. But I can take him '''''[[IncrediblyLamePun up]]'''''.\\
'''Scarlet Lady:''' [[LamePunReaction Booooo!]]
* Théo admits he was akumatized because he thought Chat Noir and Scarlet Lady were in love. Chat Noir turns to DeathGlare at Scarlet Lady.
* When Marinette defends Théo, he begins to sport a CrushBlush... until Chat Noir [[DeathGlare makes it clear she's off limits]].
* The BrickJoke about Théo's age. Turns out he also goes to Françoise Dupont.
** Not only that, but it seems [[EverybodyKnewAlready everyone at school knew]] save for Alya and Adrien, both of whom only recently enrolled.
** Adrien makes a hilarious face when [[FiveSecondForeshadowing asking about Théo's goatee]]. Mlle. Mendeleiev then yelling at Théo to shave it while the sculptor protests that it's the only reason he gets taken seriously by clients just sells it.

[[folder:Mr Pigeon: Tales of Xavier the Bird Man]]
* Marinette and Alya pulling comically grotesque faces back at Chloé.
-->'''Caption:''' Meet me in the pit, Chloé!
* Alya getting front row seats to Marinette's spiral over the fashion competition: [[MoodSwinger first she's wondering how to design a bowler hat, then resigned that she'd likely not do well regardless, then panicking over the likelihood that she'll trip, fall on Gabriel Agreste, making him and Adrien hate her and ending her dreams of being a fashion designer]]... all without any input from Alya.
-->'''Caption:''' When it's the first time you've seen your best friend spiral and you can barely keep up with her insane thought process.
* Adrien sees the designs Marinette's showing Alya and is impressed, [[RousingSpeech telling her that she's got a good chance at winning the contest]]. Marinette has sparkles in her eyes as she literally climbs on top of Alya, folding the latter in half like a chair.
-->'''Adrien:''' Whoa, I should compliment you more often.\\
'''Alya:''' Girl, '''''OW.'''''
* Officer Raincomprix angrily scolds M. Ramier for feeding the birds ''again'' despite having been told it's illegal. The latter tries to get out of trouble by suggesting that ''he'' isn't forbidden from doing it, only for Roger to immediately yell, [[EspeciallyZoidberg "Especially for you!"]]
-->'''Tags:''' #rules are more like loose suggestions amiright?
* Marinette is so inspired by a pigeon she sees sitting next to her that she [[FailedASpotCheck doesn't notice]] Officer Roger getting ambushed by an entire flock of them.
-->'''Caption:''' Peripheral Vision, what's that?
** The pigeon next to her does, though, and actually turns its head from the design in Marinette's sketchbook to the commotion, with its gaze on the flock as Roger is carried away.
** The tags even reveal that said pigeon is Jacques, the same one whom Marinette introduces to Alya in "The Mime" and who is mentioned in "Reflekta" to have photobombed Rose and Juleka.
--->'''Tags:''' #jacques is like 'did I miss a Pigeon meeting?!'
* When Marinette learns about M. Pigeon and his namesake birds taking over Paris, [[FantasticallyIndifferent her only reaction is to grumble that she now has to walk home]].
-->'''Caption:''' Just [[SeenItAll another day]] in Daily Akumas Paris, France.
* Tikki attempts to make Chloé fight, but Chloé refuses due to being afraid the birds will ruin her hair. Seeing Chat Noir passing nearby, Tikki quickly comes up with a way to trick Chloé into doing it: appealing to her AttentionWhore antics. It works like a charm, and the Kwami even sticks her tongue out in an AsideGalance.
--> '''Tikki: ''' ''[snarking]'' Well, I guess we'll leave the akuma--and the '''''after interview'''''--to Chat Noir.\\
'''Chloé:''' ''[dead serious]'' '''''The hell we are.'''''
* When Sabine sees her daughter coming down the stairs with two superheroes in tow, she asks, "... Whatcha got there?" Marinette replies, [[ComicallyMissingThePoint "A hat,"]] referring to the costume police cap she brought down from her room.
* Chat Noir attempts to show Marinette how to [[ActingUnnatural "act natural,"]] which seemingly includes him doing the Music/GangnamStyle dance.
* In part 8, a bonus scene has Mr. Pigeon crowd surfing on a flock of pigeons:
-->'''Caption:''' These Pigeons need to Unionize if he's just gonna jump off buildings onto them.
* Chloé gives a NoblewomansLaugh over how [[TemptingFate she doesn't have any real competition in the contest]], Sabrina {{sweatdrop}}s at her friend's overconfidence while everyone else glares at Chloé with CrossPoppingVeins.
* Chloé's OhCrap expression when Marinette proves that her design had been copied by the former, especially as Alya calls Chloé an idiot while Principal Damocles {{sweatdrop}}s with an unamused glare. Then, after failing to throw Sabrina under the bus, Chloé runs away [[InelegantBlubbering crying]] over getting disqualified and banned from future contests.

[[folder:The Pharaoh: Tales of Jalil the Conspiracy Theorist]]
* One RunningGag throughout the episode is people getting shoved:
** Alya is the first to do this, pushing an annoyed Alix aside while running to film Scarlet Lady.
** Shortly afterwards, Jalil shoves Alya aside on his way to his father. Alix even scoffs, "Ha!" at her classmate getting ATasteOfTheirOwnMedicine.
** Jalil then triggers a chain of DisasterDominoes by pushing Scarlet Lady, who falls into Alix, who tumbles into Marinette, who then falls into Adrien's arms, which Adrien doesn't at all mind... until Scarlet Lady also notices his presence.
* With Scarlet Lady, Adrien, Marinette, and Alya all present to look at the Miraculous-related parts of the exhibit and tons of people there to watch Scarlet Lady, Alix's father Alim literally has to scream at everyone that the exhibit is about Tutankhamun. Alix can only FacePalm.
* The vast majority of the humor is provided by Alix, especially when she's snarking at her brother's ''numerous'' inaccurate statements about Egyptology. A lot of the captions are provided on her behalf too.
** The dialogue as Jalil talks about his theory and Alix pokes holes in it:
--->'''Jalil:''' Papa, look, this is Akhenaten and Nefertiti. She died before him-\\
'''Alix:''' She literally didn't.\\
'''Jalil:''' -and Ra made her his goddess.\\
'''Alix:''' He literally wouldn't.\\
'''Jalil:''' Akhenaten offered up a '''''new''''' wife to Ra so '''''his''''' would be brought back to life.\\
'''Alix:''' Dude, Egyptians would be super '''''not''''' into that.\\
'''Jalil:''' This scroll details that very ritual--and only '''''I''''' have deciphered the hieroglyphics!\\
'''Alix:''' Lieeeeees!\\
'''Jalil:''' '''''WOULD YOU STOP THAT?!'''''\\
'''Alix:''' '''''PEDDLE YOUR BAD FANFIC SOMEWHERE ELSE!'''''
** The author notes that Alix needed to prevent Jalil from inadvertently causing her classmates to fail their test.
** Alix is also quick to point out how badly Jalil [[SadlyMythCharacterized misinterprets the Egyptian pantheon]]:
--->'''Alix:''' ''[hearing Jalil invoke Thoth for time powers]'' [[SomethingOnlyTheywouldSay Only he would get the god of writing and magic so wrong.]]\\
'''Alix:''' ''[after Jalili invokes Sekhmet for strength]'' She fights to '''''protect''''' people, you '''''[[KnowNothingKnowItAll poser!]]'''''\\
'''Alix:''' ''[hearing her brother invoke Horus for wings]'' Just because he's a bird doesn't mean you can '''''fly,''''' you t**t! ''[prolonged muffled screaming]''
* There's this exchange that encapsulates the relationship between Jalil and (what he sees as) his FantasyForbiddingFather:
-->'''Mr. Kubdel:''' Jalil, you're not using museum artifacts to perform a '''''[[HumanSacrifice sacrificial ritual!]]''''' For several reasons!\\
'''Jalil:''' ''[[[FlippingTheBird flipping him off]]]'' [[ComicallyMissinglyThePoint Gawd, you just don't understand me dad!]]
* Jalil's obsession with proving his conspiracy theories [[EvenEvilHasStandards annoys Hawkmoth as well]].
-->'''Jalil:''' My precious Nefertiti will come back to life! And I'll '''''totally''''' show my dad!\\
'''Hawkmoth:''' Ugh, teenagers...\\
'''Tags:''' #weiiiiiird hawkmoth [[NoSympathy doesn't feel sympathy]] for the boi
* Alix and Marinette both fail to notice Adrien ducking around the corner right behind them to transform.
-->'''Caption:''' A true master of Dissolving into the Shadows, to be sure.
* Chat Noir introduces himself as a WorthyOpponent to the Pharaoh. [[DudeWheresMyRespect To the hero's chagrin]], the akuma [[RecognitionFailure doesn't even know who he is]].
* As Alya's being carried off by the Pharaoh, two bystanders, a young boy and his father, watch nearby. The boy turns to his father and has this conversation:
-->'''Boy:''' Dad? Shouldn't we... go?\\
'''Father:''' ''[expressionless]'' [[BystanderSyndrome No son.]] ''[takes a drag of his cigarette]'' [[ConditionedToAcceptHorror This is our lives now.]]\\
'''Pharaoh:''' ''[offscreen]'' ANUBIS, WAKE MY MUMMIES!\\
'''Boy:''' ''[flatly]'' [[FantasticallyIndifferent Here we go.]]\\
'''Caption:''' [[SeenItAll Another Boring Day in the life of a Parisian.]]
* Scarlet Lady tells Chat Noir to distract the Pharaoh while she saves Alya. He eagerly agrees with two thumbs up... [[MoodWhiplash right before shifting to a much more serious expression]] as he tells Marinette and Alix to wait for an ''actual'' opening. [[FunnyBackgroundEvent Marinette and Alix's facial expressions even change with Chat Noir's]], going from perplexed that he's agreeing with Scarlet to amused when the superhero reveals his real plan.
* Since Marinette is wearing a skirt, she has to be careful to avoid an accidental PantyShot as Alix and Scarlet Lady quickly take the Lucky Charm costume off of her so the heroine can cast the Miraculous Cure.
-->'''Marinette:''' Okay, okay, keep your pants on! Or at least let me keep mine on!\\
'''Caption:''' Give a girl some privacy!
* As Chat Noir catches her after the Pharaoh has been defeated, [[ComicallyMissingThePoint Alya pouts that she would]] ''[[ComicallyMissingThePoint so]]'' [[ComicallyMissingThePoint make a good sacrifice]].
* Adrien decides to give up on looking for the Chat Noir artifacts that Plagg mentioned, convinced the Kwami was just messing with him... [[GaveUpTooSoon right as]] [[FailedASpotCheck he walks past a statue of a black cat]]. Said statue even {{sweatdrop}}s as it stares at Adrien's passing figure.
* Plagg gets to play with a cat toy like a normal cat, [[https://zoe-oneesama.tumblr.com/post/190279257854/local-cat-boy-needs-constant-validation-and-in then acts like a piranha]].
* This is Alim's response to being asked if he knew his son was akumatized (while [[INeedAFreakingDrink holding a drink in his hand]] with a bottle next to him):
-->'''Alim:''' Oh I '''''definitely''''' saw it all over the CT cameras.\\

'''Marinette:''' [[RhetoricalQuestionBlunder Show of hands?]]\\
'''Everyone else:''' ''[raises their hands]''\\
'''Chloé:''' ''[huffs]'' Oh, who asked you?
* Alya, Adrien, and Ivan are [[https://zoe-oneesama.tumblr.com/post/190539279714/nino-you-might-want-to-slow-down-before-you-get less than impressed]] by Chloé revealing that Nino changed the script to include a kiss. Alya's pissed that he altered her script while Ivan's going full BewareTheNiceOnes.
** In an aside, one of the others is shocked to realize that they're still on the opening scene.
** In the bonus panel, it's revealed that the reason Horrificator is non-verbal is because [[EvilIsPetty Mylène sassed Hawkmoth]].
* When everyone points out why they shouldn't let Chloé take Mylène's role, Adrien adds that Chloé doesn't even remember the characters' names.
-->'''Chloé:''' Stop helping, Adrikins!
* Marinette shutting down Nino's attempt to boss the others around is [[https://zoe-oneesama.tumblr.com/post/190669187229/management-is-taking-over-episode-9-part-6-first the thing of Nightmares]].
-->'''Nino:''' Ex-'''''CUSE YOU''''' guys, but '''''I''''' am the director, and what I say goes!\\

And if you don't turn down the attitude and remember that we're your friends, doing this '''''for you'''''... [[ImpliedDeathThreat I'll be the person who impaled you]] [[CutHisHeartOutWithASpoon with a clipboard]].
* Chloé suggests changing the main character to a nurse, Alya begins to say that it is a dumb idea... only for Marinette to intervene, agree with the idea, and literally shove Chloé out of the room while [[SnipeHunt suggesting that she get a uniform from the office, right now]].
* Adrien suggests adding Marinette as a new character who takes up the initial scene that would be awkward for Mylène while keeping the latter as the main character. Everyone praises him for his idea, and he preens about getting a kissing scene with Marinette. Then, during filming, Adrien and Marinette are about to kiss when Chloé kills the moment. While the others just lament her return, Adrien has a ThousandYardStare about getting cock-blocked.
* When one of Kim's armbands is found, Alya says it's covered with the same stuff from the bathroom. Alix then says [[TooMuchInformation TMI]].
-->'''Alya:''' [[ThatCameOutWrong Not like that]], '''''ew!'''''
* Chat Noir appears as Horrificator's goo covers the windows, trapping everyone inside... and Nino ''immediately'' thinks [[SkewedPriorities he can bring Chat into his movie]]. Chat Noir even points out Nino's SkewedPriorities when the latter continues focusing on filming the events.
* Meanwhile, Chloé finally gets a motive to act: [[AttentionWhore to prevent Chat Noir from getting all the attention]]. So she leaves behind her favorite nail polish and acts as if it were a great sacrifice. The reactions once it's discovered?
-->'''Sabrina:''' [[OOCIsSeriousBusiness This is Chloé's favorite!]] Something '''''horrible''''' must have happened to her!\\

-->'''Marinette:''' '''''JUST SING THE DAMN SONG!''''' It's nasty in here!
* After Nino proudly presents his (''terrible'') film to André Bourgeois, he's promptly told by the mayor to GetOut He later gradually realizes why Mayor Bourgeois had such a (justifiably) negative reaction:

[[folder:Rogercop: Tales of Roger the Police Officer]]
* The first page's bonus panel features Juleka saying her mother decided not to come because "there'd be a cop."
* Since Gabriel broke his promise to attend Parent's Career Day, Adrien calls his father and implies that he'll ruin his diet by helping himself to the free croissants. Gabriel, already transformed into Hawkmoth, reacts thusly:
-->'''Gabriel:''' [[EvilIsPetty Oh, I'm akumatizing the]] '''''[[BleepDammit s**t]]''''' [[EvilIsPetty out of someone now.]]
** Meanwhile, Chloé is showing off her bracelet and tells Marinette (who is handing out the free croissants) not to get her "poor grease" near it. Marinette promptly skips her.
** Adrien absolutely ''lights up'' when Marinette gives him a croissant.
* The tags state that [[TheGadfly Tikki is purposely getting cookie crumbs all over the inside of Chloé's bag as revenge]].
* Sabrina responds to Chloé ordering Mayor André to fire ''her'' dad [[https://zoe-oneesama.tumblr.com/post/611881486148321280/color-me-absolutely-shocked-episode-10-part-3 by making the]] [[Memes/{{Pokemon}} "Surprised Pikachu face."]]
** Roger then makes the exact same expression when the mayor actually ''does'' fire him.
** The bonus panel also implies that Hawkmoth is well aware of how Chloé has the mayor wrapped around her finger and isn't even surprised by her being the reason for Roger's firing.
* Chloé getting Sabrina's bag right in the face... while the latter is undergoing a HeroicBSOD no less.
-->'''Caption:''' Excuse me, Marinette, can't you see I'm busy ''SPIRALING''?!
* Rogercop insists on [[HonorBeforeReason waiting for the traffic light to turn green since jaywalking is illegal]].
-->'''Rogercop:''' Justice waits for a green light. Even if it takes forever.
* When Tom [[NotNowKiddo tells Marinette to stand down and let the adults handle things]], she gives him a disgusted look and an unimpressed [[DeadpanSnarker "Seriously?"]] while gesturing to how none the adults (Tom included) are doing anything to help resolve the situation.
* Marinette has a completely flat look on her face when she dumps her bag out in front of Chloé to prove the bracelet isn't in there. When Chloé then [[MovingTheGoalposts immediately demands she empty her pockets, too]], Marinette declares, "I hate you."
* Rogercop arrives at the school:
-->'''Adrien:''' Looks like I'm a total '''''[[TemptingFate jinx]]''''' and it's an '''''akuma.'''''\\
'''Plagg:''' ''[sniff]'' You're a true Black Cat.\\

'''Caption:''' Unsolved Mysteries.
* Chat Noir's reaction to seeing Chloé throwing Marinette inside Rogercop's car before getting in herself:
-->'''Chat Noir:''' [[YouHaveGotToBeKiddingMe Did they just get voluntarily kidnapped?!]]
* [[FantasticallyIndifferent Alya is completely unconcerned that Chloé dragged Marinette off to the akuma.]] The author explains in the tags, "#alya's convinced marinette's impervious to akumas at this point."
* Tom tries to call Alya out for not doing anything to stop Chloé, only for Alya to retort, [[NeverMyFault "Uh, neither did you?"]] It's made funnier by how [[{{Hypocrite}} Tom had early tried to chide Marinette to let the adults handle everything]].
* While Marinette and Chloé have a CatFight in the back of his car, Rogercop ignores them while listening to music.
-->'''Caption:''' That's so sad Hawkmoth, play Despacito.
* It's BlackComedy, but Chat Noir and Marinette's OhCrap faces when they see Chloé plummet to her seeming death are absolutely hilarious, especially when juxtaposed to Rogercop's indifference.
* [[NeverMyFault Chloé yells at Chat Noir as she falls toward the ground and later blames Rogercop]] when she survives but has her hair all messed up. However, [[FiveSecondForeshadowing as Marinette had pointed out just moments ago]], [[LaserGuidedKarma Chloé didn't put on her seat belt after getting inside Rogercop's car]].
* When Rogercop orders the police to arrest Scarlet Lady and Chat Noir, the police... refuse as he's clearly been akumatized. Chat's relieved sigh sells it, and the author even goes into a mini rant about how stupid it was for them to obey Rogercop in canon.
-->'''Police Officer 1:''' Um... no?\\
'''Police Officer 2:''' What a dumb idea.\\
'''Police Officer 3:''' That's totally an akuma, right?\\
'''Caption:''' We don't just take orders from Akuma just because they have COP in their name, c'mon.\\
'''Tags:''' #this is my rare rule break when it came to not going out of my way to make the characters smarter than canon if I can't excuse it #but this was seriously stupid for these grown adults to turn on the Heroes of Paris that protect them from an emotional terrorist #on the orders of that very terrorist's minion!
* Once Chat and Scarlet confront him, Rogercop forces Marinette and André to capture them. Marinette manages to lock her legs around a chair, but André ends up getting dragged across the floor.
** The best thing is that Rogercop catches Chat and Scarlet because Scarlet Lady [[SoMuchForStealth makes too much noise]] [[WithCatlikeTread shushing Marinette]]. Chat's FacePalm just sells it.
** Chat Noir later remarks on Marinette's trick to prevent herself from moving:
--->'''Chat Noir:''' Are you okay, Marinette?\\
'''Marinette:''' ''[sweating with exhaustion]'' My legs hurt.\\
'''Chat Noir:''' That '''''was''''' an impressive maneuver. I should add it to my workout routine.\\
'''Marinette:''' Don't mock my pain, Chaton.
* The narration after Rogercop is taken down:

[[folder:Darkblade: Tales of Armand the Knight]]
* Chloé mocks her driver for being too dense to realize she's talking about her secret identity. In reality, he's simply ignoring his passenger, thinking she's talking to herself.
* Alya calls Marinette from the hotel, telling her that Chloé is using an appearance from Jagged Stone to buy voters for the Class election. Marinette realizes something:
-->'''Marinette:''' Wait, [[ArmorPiercingQuestion what are you doing over there already?]]\\
'''Alya:''' [[OhCrap Um...]]\\
'''Caption:''' Your intentions aren't pure, ALYA!
* When D'Argencourt is talking about how his ancestor was overthrown, Adrien points out (in a thought bubble) that the ancestor sounded like a dick if he "ruled with an iron fist" and it was that easy for the usurper to buy the loyalty of his subjects.
* When Chat Noir notices Darkblade, the first thing he is happy about is that [[TemptingFate Marinette isn't caught in it]]. A caption box reading, "WRONG!" sells it.
* So why is Jagged Stone offering autographs to support Chloé's class president campaign?
-->'''Jagged:''' Pen, why '''''exactly''''' am I doing this?\\

** Later, when Darkblade and his minions show up at city hall, [[ComicallyMissingThePoint Jagged somehow thinks that more of his fans have arrived and that he should go outside and play for them to give them what they want]]. Penny literally has to grab him by the arm to stop him.

* Sabrina's OhCrap expression when she falls victim to Marinette's booby-trapped diary
** She later makes many snide remarks when explaining what happened to Chloé:
--->'''Chloé:''' Finally! You '''''better''''' have her diary!\\
'''Sabrina:''' ''[holding out her right hand]'' Yeah, and a new '''bracelet'''!\\
'''Chloé:''' '''''What''''' is '''''that'''''?!\\
'''Sabrina:''' It snapped on my hand when I went for her diary!\\
'''Chloé:''' Oh, and what, you just expect me to '''''believe''''' that?\\
'''Sabrina:''' '''''Yeah''''', actually, I '''''do'''''!\\
'''Chloé:''' Are you giving me '''''attitude'''''?!\\
'''Tags:''' #idk why [[SelectiveObliviousness Chloé was doubting Sabrina when the evidence was LATCHED TO HER WRIST]]
** Sabrina [[AintTooProudToBeg wastes no time begging Marinette to take it back]] when the latter arrives, much to Chloé's ire.
* When confronting Darkblade, Chat asks if Scarlet Lady is ever going to do her job. Her reply is a ''blunt'' "Don't wanna." Then Darkblade [[BerserkButton pisses her off]] by calling her a peasant.
* Nathaniel doesn't buy Chloé's lie that her absence was because she was calling Scarlet Lady (to hide that she ''is'' Scarlet Lady), [[RightForTheWrongReasons but only because he figures no hero would hang out with Chloé]].
* Chloé is actually surprised that [[BribeBackfire her bribe didn't work]]. Apparently, [[DidntThinkThisThrough it never occurred to her that the classmates she regularly bullies might just take her free stuff and vote for Marinette anyway]]. She's then put in an uncomfortable spot after making an AccidentalPublicConfession:
-->'''Mme. Bustier:''' ''[with PuppyDogEyes]'' Chloé, did you '''''bribe''''' your classmates?\\
'''Chloé:''' [[BlatantLies Um... No?]]

[[folder:The Gamer: Tales of Max the Pro Gamer]]
* Alya tries to call Marinette out on allegedly only showing interest in the tournament to spend time with Adrien, insisting that representing the school is [[PunctuatedForEmphasis "Super. Serious!"]] Marinette snarks that Alya is getting pretty worked up over something she didn't even know about until five minutes ago.
* Kim sees how calm and collected Max after the crushing defeat handed to him and praises his friend for being so cool. A DescriptionCut then shows Max internally screaming.
* Another RunningGag: this time, people point out to Max that he lost to ''two'' people, not just Marinette.
* Chloé is actually rather annoyed by Sabrina texting her that Adrien will be competing in the video game tournament, proclaiming she doesn't ''need'' to play a video game to spend time with Adrien. Then Sabrina informs Chloé that Marinette is going to be Adrien's partner. That ''instantly'' infuriates Chloé, who immediately demands that her father get her driver.
* Tikki is her usual DeadpanSnarker self as she calls Chloé out. The flat expression she has at the end while her arms and legs are crossed just sell it.
-->'''Tikki:''' Chloé, this is ridiculous.\\
'''Chloé:''' '''''Me,''''' ridiculous?!\\
'''Tikki:''' You didn't even '''''care''''' about this until '''''Marinette''''' was involved!\\
'''Chloé:''' Of course I care! She's going to put her grubby paws '''''all over''''' poor '''''Adrien!'''''\\
'''Tikki:''' She isn't '''''you.'''''\\
'''Chloé:''' C'mon, we're crashing this date!\\
'''Tikki:''' [[SarcasmMode Oh, this outta be good.]]
* Marinette's face when her parents [[MomentKiller interrupt her and Adrien with an offer for quiche]].
* Chloé's repeated failed attempts to get Adrien away from Marinette... at least, until she tries to help Gamer MurderTheHypotenuse.
* How does Chloé meet Fu in this universe? [[https://zoe-oneesama.tumblr.com/post/618227851154669568/get-your-own-episode-12-part-6-first-previous By being told to get out of his "spying tree."]]
* Adrien pushes Marinette out of the way and lands on top of her, with both of them blushing. Gamer is not amused that they aren't paying attention to him.
* Chloé's EpicFail at piloting the mecha.
* After Scarlet Lady thanks him for only going after Marinette while ignoring Adrien, Max has ScaryShinyGlasses as he walks away.

[[folder:Reflekta: Tales of Juleka the Goth]]
* To [[ContinuityNod Chloé's utter disgust]], [[https://zoe-oneesama.tumblr.com/post/619759782724763648/we-meet-again-camera-man-episode-13-part-1 Vincent]] is handling the class photo. He remembers her, too, and notes she's still wearing white pants (he previously mocked her for it).
* A bonus panel reveals just what the "pigeon one" was--and that the pigeon in question was fully aware of the camera. WordOfGod later confirmed that the pigeon was also Jacques, whom Marinette introduced Alya to in "The Mime."
* When Chloé complains about the others paying attention to Juleka instead of her having a crisis, Adrien fires back by saying that her "crisis" is an oversized temper tantrum. Nino chuckles, and [[FunnyBackgroundEvent Sabrina looks like she's about to burst out laughing]].
* The class photo has Adrien shoving Chloé off of him while most of the class is looking at the commotion and Marinette is begging the photographer to wait.
* When Marinette comes up with the idea to make the picture disappear in order to get another one with Juleka in it, [[IncorruptiblePurePureness Rose]] [[ComicallyMissingThePoint doesn't understand how she is going to be make it disappear]] (she's going to steal it).
-->'''Marinette:''' Oh [[ShoutOut you sweet summer child]]. I shant corrupt you.
* When Chloé declares that she won't let her picture with Adrien be ruined, Sabrina snarkily reminds her that the picture shows Adrien ''pushing Chloé off of him''.
-->'''Chloé:''' ''[staring at Sabrina]'' '''''What''''' is '''''with''''' her?! Completely ridiculous.\\
'''Tikki:''' Came to her senses, if I had to guess.
* Tikki, [[LockedOutOfTheLoop unaware of Chloé's latest stunt]] (due to her leaving her purse behind while she locked Juleka in the bathroom), laments the idea that without her guidance, Marinette is becoming a criminal. Complete with an ImagineSpot of [[https://zoe-oneesama.tumblr.com/post/620758910195892224/and-thus-the-birth-of-a-million-fanfic-akuma-oc Marinette in full thieving gear]].
* Reflekta's MotiveRant is depicted as a WallOfText behind her, with Alya and Nino exchanging [[OhCrap stressed looks]].
* Upon learning about the akuma from Rose and Sabrina, Adrien tells them he'll try to call for help. Rose proclaims, "Good idea!" while Sabrina notes he's heading towards the bathroom.
* Chat Noir manages to get Reflekta's attention by taunting her... [[MissingStepsPlan only to realize he doesn't have a plan for what to do next]].
-->'''Chat Noir:''' ''[dodging Reflekta's attacks]'' So you've got her attention, '''''[[DidntThinkThisThrough now]]''''' what, Chat Noir?!\\
'''Caption:''' When you're suddenly in the distraction role but you're severely out of practice because you've been in the leadership role this whole time.
* Hawkmoth gets sassed by yet another akuma:
-->'''Hawkmoth:''' You should've taken his Miraculous!\\
'''Reflekta:''' Has anyone ever told you you're really annoying?\\
'''Hawkmoth:''' You have literally one job!
* When Chloé's confrontation with Marinette is interrupted by Reflekta, she bemoans that an akuma had to show up. You know, the same akuma that she intentionally tried to cause by locking Juleka in the bathroom.
* Marinette panics upon seeing Plagg and calls him a tiny cat-mouse, which is followed by Plagg saying he's had worse reactions.
* Marinette as Maotif pulls a BigDamnHeroes to save Scarlet Lady... who isn't exactly grateful:
-->'''Scarlet Lady:''' WHO ARE YOU!?\\
'''Maotif:''' Oh yeah, '''''[[TheLoad you]]''''' [[ThisIsGonnaSuck come with the job]].
* Adrien, of course, is not happy with Plagg picking a replacement... until he realizes just whom she is. ''Then'' he's fully on board.
* Scarlet Lady and Maotif [[ActuallyPrettyFunny both laugh]] when they see Chat Noir after he's been transformed to look like Reflekta.
* Reflekta's OhCrap face when she realizes Maotif is about to jump at her from behind is ''hilarious''.
* Adrien and Juleka can't help but snicker when Marinette sheepishly admits to having stolen the photographer's SD card; Juleka even calls her a "criminal cutie."
* Chloé proves to be so petty that she doesn't join the retake, claiming that she already has "her photo" (the one where she is being shoved off Adrien).
* When Alya complains that no one got to take a photo of Maotif, Juleka happily replies that she got a couple of selfies with the new heroine. [[FunnyBackgroundEvent The next panel has Juleka laughing and running away from Alya in the background]].
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Timebreaker: Tales of Alix the Skater]]
* Alim all but confirms (by way of SuspiciouslySpecificDenial) that the Kubdel tradition of giving the watch to the last child is something he made up just so [[CloudCuckooLander Jalil]] doesn't get the heirloom.
* Scarlet Lady doesn't even bother to fake putting effort towards stopping Timebreaker. She literally just goes onto a rooftop, thinking Timebreaker can't reach her up there. Marinette [[WhatTheHellHero calls the Ladybug heroine out]], declaring that she's filming Scarlet Lady ignoring the akuma and implying that unless the heroine acts, she'll ensure others get to enjoy that footage as well. Scarlet jumps down to yell at her and promptly gets tagged in the back. [[OhCrap Marinette's expression says it all]].
* When Chat Noir meets up with Past!Adrien, the former calling Scarlet Lady [[MaliciousMisnaming Scar]] confirms to the latter that he is the real deal. Past!Adrien then asks what a world without Scarlet Lady is like, and Chat bemoans tearfully that he never got to enjoy it.
* Scarlet Lady is angry with both Chats and says they will have to beg her to help. They both agree [[ThreatBackfire that it will be better if she stays out of the way]]. Later, one of them decides she will be useful as a distraction, Cataclysms her elevated perch, and dumps her into the fight. At that point, Marinette shows up with a better plan; the current Chat then grabs Scar's yo-yo while the future Chat uses the one he has, and together, they catch the akumas. Scar complains loudly about her yo-yo getting taken again.
* Marinette runs home when future Timebreaker and Chat Noir show up, not wanting to be caught up in an akuma attack for once. But after she's given Mrs. Chamack her cake, she just can't resist getting on a bike and riding back to the fight to help. Even funnier, the author [[ShrugOfGod refuses to confirm]] whether the bike was actually Marinette's or [[HeroStoleMyBike someone else's]].
* Kim mistakes being unable to dare people for the rest of the year as meaning the actual year and thinks that he doesn't have to wait too long because it's December. His face when Max tells him it's actually for the rest of the ''school year'' is hilarious.
* Sabine trying not to sound too angry about Mrs. Chamack's early arrival nearly ruining her and Tom's anniversary.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Simon Says: Tales of Simon the Hypnotist]]
* Mireille cheerfully notes that Alec does whatever Aurore asks (due to getting caught rigging the weather girl contest against her back in "Stormy Weather"). Aurore gives a small EvilLaugh in response.
-->'''Caption:''' Aurore owns this studio now.
* [[ComicallyMissingThePoint Chloé wants Adrien to appear on the show already]] despite the fact that (as Tikki points out) ''Nino'' is the one competing.
* Both Adrien and Nino have simultaneous OhCrap reactions when they hear that Simon is up against Gabriel Agreste, lamenting "Oh no, he's screwed." Marinette, who doesn't know Gabriel that well, blandly says, "Oh, it's your dad."
* As soon as Gabriel turns off the video call, he immediately runs off to transform, referencing how quickly he was apparently able to change between locations in canon.
* Nathalie's reaction to overhearing the deal between Hawkmoth and Simon is to think, "I do '''not''' get paid enough for this."
** Simon's reply to Hawkmoth's offer:
--->'''Simon Says:''' Simon says... yes.
** Chat Noir's response to Simon Says's introduction:
--->'''Chat Noir:''' Chat Noir says, shut up and gimme your cards!
* Chloé is actually motivated to go out and fight:
-->'''Chloé:''' [[SkewedPriorities I have to protect my Adrikins!]]\\
'''Tikki:''' But does he '''''want''''' your protection?
* In a sort of TwistedEchoCut, both top panels of episode 4 show a superhero attacking, with both exclaiming "Hyah!" In one, Chat Noir flips The Gorilla into an open elevator. In the other, Scarlet Lady kicks in a door to look for Adrien, to the astonishment of Marinette and Nino.
** In a moment of BlackComedy, Gorilla has a hilarious OhCrap expression as the elevator he's inside starts to plummet. Chat Noir does as well, even muttering, "... I'm sure he's fine..." in an attempt to convince himself. The author remarks in the tags, though, that Chat Noir probably just killed a man.
** When Marinette asks Scarlet Lady how she knew Adrien was down at the studio, her reply, "My love radar always knows" (she actually overheard Adrien saying he was going there at school), makes her look like a stalker. Not only that, but Marinette is actually RightForTheWrongReasons when she accuses the Ladybug heroine of stalking Adrien.
--->'''Caption:''' Pst, Scarlet, people don't know you're '''Chloe''', you're not ''[[SayingTooMuch supposed]]'' to have this insider information you creep!
* Seeing Adrien rushing up, Scarlet Lady charges forward with her eyes closed, saying, "I came, my Prince!" When he hugs Nino instead, she has a FallingIntoHisArms fail, crashing to the ground with AmusingInjuries and InstantBandages.
* On arrival at the Agreste mansion, Scarlet Lady initially thinks [[ComicallyMissingThePoint that she has been invited to hang out with Adrien in his room]]. When Gabriel asks, "Mme. Scarlet, are you not here to protect ''me''?" she scowls and curses to herself.
* Gabriel and Nino glaring at each other, clearly remembering their encounter on Adrien's birthday.
* Marinette and Nino debating who sucks more, [[AbusiveParents Gabriel]] or [[AlphaBitch Scarlet Lady]].
* Gabriel is... rather taken aback to learn that the supposed WorthyOpponent who impressed him with her sense of strategy during the Bubbler incident is in actuality shallow, egotistical, and bossy and thinks she'd be the ''perfect'' match for his son. Chat takes advantage of this to get a real zinger off at his unknowing father.
* Once again, Gabriel winds up winded when he rushes back to his secret lair to start giving Simon Says orders again.
* Scarlet Lady's incompetence leads to Nathalie, Nino, and Marinette being captured along with Gabriel and taken to the TV studio. While there, [[ActuallyPrettyFunny Nathalie has to stop herself from laughing out loud]] when Simon Says makes Gabriel act like a [[{{Irony}} butterfly]].
** Marinette sees Nathalie looking away (to hide her snorting) and tries to comfort the older woman, mistakenly thinking she's crying.
** As Nathalie starts showing off her fighting abilities, Nino bewilderingly asks, "What kind of assistant are you?"
-->'''Caption:''' Look Nino, when your boss is Gabriel -I-Make-A-Living-On-Being-An-Asshole- Agreste you learn how to defend yourself.
** When Gabriel is made to act like a plane, Nathalie just grabs him by his jacket and says "No."
* In the page 10 bonus, Gabriel asks Adrien if he's interested in Scarlet Lady:
-->'''Adrien:''' [[NoJustNoReaction Ew. No.]]\\
'''Gabriel:''' Oh, ''thank God.''
** The face Adrien makes deserves a mention all on its own.
** Gabriel's thoughts reveal he was actually hoping to use his son as a bargaining chip against the heroine and is disappointed that that option is no longer available. [[EvenEvilHasStandards He's still immensely relieved]] that Adrien isn't interested in the incompetent {{Nominal Hero}}ine, though.
--->'''Caption:''' [[SkewedPriorities Nice to know where the line is, Gabe.]]
* Adrien revealing how he convinced Gabriel to let him come to Nino's second appearance in the show: threatening to wear a T-shirt that says "Get [[{{Pun}} meowt]] of here" to a fashion show--with a cat [[FlippingTheBird throwing a double bird]].
-->'''Marinette:''' '''''Oh my god.'''''\\
'''Alya:''' The ultimate rebellion.
* Chloé learning about Adrien's thoughts on Scarlet Lady, as well as her reaction to it per WordOfGod.
-->'''Chloé:''' Adrihoney~! I heard you got visited by [[ButHeSoundsHandsome the amazing Scarlet Lady]].\\
'''Adrien:''' ''[yawning]'' Ugh, yeah, and I have the eyebags to prove it.\\
'''Chloé:''' Soooo? Isn't she ultra fab? Don't you just '''''love''''' her?\\
'''Adrien:''' [[NoJustNoReaction Ew. No.]]\\

[[folder:Volpina: Tales of Lila the FOX]]
* Just like in the show, Lila has some ''hilarious'' reaction faces when something unexpected happens.
* In the header on the page, the title of the episode is written as "Lila The Liar" with liar being crossed out.
* The first page of the chapter, which features Lila's introduction to the class, is [[HashtagForLaughs tagged]] with [[WesternAnimation/SouthPark "#heeeeere she is the biggest liar in the uuuuniverse."]]
* When Lila is introducing herself, Adrien is passed out at his desk, drooling, while Nino pokes him with a pencil.
* Lila claiming she is best friends with Scarlet Lady impresses Alya, Rose, and Kim... while Marinette, Alix, and Nino (who've all had bad personal experiences with Scarlet Lady) all look utterly ''horrified''. They're even all standing right behind their new classmate, [[FailedASpotCheck not that she notices]].
* Both Adrien and Plagg have {{Cat Smile}}s when they notice Gabriel walking away from a safe.
* When Adrien and Plagg steal Gabriel's book, the author says Plagg probably came up with the saying about it being better to ask for forgiveness than permission.
* Instead of hiding in the library (as Marinette did in canon) to find out what Lila is up to, Chloé charges in and {{Glomp}}s onto Adrien. The author comments, "Chloé failed this stealth mission right away."
* Lila is noticeably struggling to maintain her "nice" demeanor when her attempt to invoke a CommonalityConnection with Adrien over their apparent love of superheroes gets shot down by [[JerkassHasAPoint Chloé, who proclaims to also adore superheroes, just like everyone else]].
-->'''Tags:''' #lol seriously lila in this day and age loving superheroes doesn't make you special
* Thanks to the Chloé's intervention in the conversation, Lila gets the idea that Adrien has a "soft spot" for Scarlet Lady and repeats the lie that she is the superheroine's friend [[SustainedMisunderstanding under the impression that this will endear her to Adrien]].
* Chloé is completely shocked when Tikki tells her she must follow Lila and Adrien (Tikki wants to get Adrien's book). She would've done it anyway but didn't expect Tikki to ''agree''.
* When Plagg tells Adrien that Lila stole Gabriel's book, it convinces Adrien that she really is friends with Scarlet Lady.
* Chloé refuses to touch the book after Tikki rescues it from a trash can out of disgust.
* Lila is called out about her lies, first by Adrien because "Scarlet Lady would '''never''' go out of her way to save '''anyone'''!" and then by Scar herself for claiming to be her best friend. The [[NominalHero "heroine"]] sends Lila into a fountain with a SpectacularSpinning move.
** Adrien's reaction to Scarlet Lady's arrival:
--->'''Adrien:''' [[SpeakOfTheDevil Dammit, we said her name too many times.]]
** Adrien [[ScrewThisImOutOfHere booking it]] as soon as Scarlet Lady begins to say how he can "thank" her.
* When Marinette gets the book and is looking through it, she notes that the Ladybug hero doesn't look like Scarlet Lady:
-->'''Marinette:''' So there ''is'' hope.
* Lila's response when Hawkmoth tells her that she can make Paris believe she is a hero?
-->'''Lila:''' Shouldn't be hard given the '''abysmal''' example they have to go off of!\\
'''Hawkmoth:''' Oh, I'm going to like you.
* Chat Noir reacts unfavorably when Volpina boasts that she's the only superheroine Paris needs.
-->'''Chat:''' [[ThisIsGonnaSuck Oh God, there's two of them. Another ego-maniac to make my job hard.]]
** The heroes' reactions when they notice "Hawkmoth":
-->'''Volpina:''' Hey, look, it's Hawkmoth.\\
'''Scarlet Lady:''' '''''Like I'm falling for that!'''''\\
'''Chat Noir:''' [[SymbolSwearing Holy #$%@]] it's Hawkmoth!\\
'''Scarlet Lady:''' '''''What?!'''''\\
'''Chat Noir:''' [[IveHeardOfThatWhatIsIt I mean I think so. We don't actually know what he looks like, so...]]
** Chat has a puzzled face when Volpina acts ''nice''. He then quickly realizes Volpina is Lila (though not that she's an akuma)... and as she and Scarlet Lady start shouting about who's in charge, [[ScrewThisImOuttaHere he bails on them]]. Both his annoyed look and Volpina's puzzled face are priceless.
* Volpina's face when she sees even Chat hates Scarlet Lady... and the latter's face when Volpina brings out the (illusionary) missiles and reveals herself as an akumatized villain.
* Volpina ''finally'' realizing [[SociopathicHero whom she's dealing with]]:
-->'''Volpina:''' [[EvenEvilHasStandards You really]] '''''[[EvenEvilHasStandards are]]''''' [[EvenEvilHasStandards a villain!]]\\
'''Caption:''' You're the only one who's surprised, Volpina.
* Adrien greets Volpina with a DeathGlare when the akuma shows up at his window immediately after he realizes that Lila threw his father's book away after she stole it rather than trying to return it.
* This exchange when Scarlet Lady notices Marinette in Adrien's room:
-->'''Scarlet Lady:''' Dupain-Cheng?! [[{{Hypocrite}} Why are you always where you aren't wanted!?]]\\
'''Marinette''' [[DeadpanSnarker I could say the same to you]].
* [[BondingOverDislikes When Volpina finds out that Marinette hates Scarlet Lady, too]], she grips Marinette's hands and stares at her with [[WingdingEyes starry eyes]].
-->'''Caption:''' Is this the Lilanette you were asking for?
* Marinette isn't exactly happy when Volpina grabs her hands:
-->'''Marinette:''' ''[{{sweatdrop}}ping]'' I'm not helping you. I hate Hawkmoth more.
* Scarlet Lady and Volpina both fighting over Adrien, to the point where he orders all three girls out of his room...causing the two "heroes" to [[NeverMyFault start blaming each other]].
-->'''Adrien:''' If everyone could leave, that'd be great!
** Adrien later hopes he didn't offend Marinette. Plagg says, "Just tell her it's one of your 'stress showers'."
* Chat's [[YouHaveGotToBeKiddingMe reaction]] to Volpina taking an illusion of Adrien hostage. Meanwhile, [[ScrewThisImOuttaHere Marinette just leaves]] while [[FantasticallyIndifferent nonchalantly telling Nathalie that Adrien was abducted by an akuma]].
* Volpina learns the hard way that not even using ''Adrien'' as a hostage changes the way Scarlet responds... or rather, it doesn't change it in the akuma's favor.
-->'''Volpina:''' ''[dangling Illusion!Adrien by his wrist]'' Give me your Miraculous or '''''else!'''''\\
'''Scarlet:''' ''[grinning evilly]'' '''''Do it.'''''\\
'''Volpina:''' '''''Gawd, what is wrong with you?!'''''
* The way Volpina is defeated. Not seeing how the Lucky Charm can help, Scarlet Lady decides to use the wrapping to improve her tan and ends up blinding Volpina by ''[[AccidentalHero accident]]''.
* After having one last shouting match with Scarlet Lady, Lila leaves... and Chat wonders one thing:
-->'''Chat Noir:''' ... How does she plan on getting down?
** Gets even better when the final panel shows she did indeed get down and even go home... but we don't know ''how''.
** The tags do providea partial explanation, though:
--->'''Tags:''' #Lila's using the elevator of spite to get down #but mostly just the elevator
* Adrien using Agreste Manor's security system to keep Scarlet Lady out. The fic's author comments, "Finally that security system came in handy."
[[/folder]]
[[folder:The Collector: Tales of Gabriel the TOP SECRET]]
* Gabriel's description in the episode's title is covered with TOP SECRET.
* When Master Fu presents himself as the one who gave Adrien the Miraculous, Adrien immediately guesses he also gave the earrings to Scarlet Lady... and is more than ready to ''hit him'' for that. Fu has to quickly tell him she wasn't his intended candidate before Adrien follows through on it.
* Fu explains that the book contains recipes for spells and power ups... that will have to be shared with Scarlet Lady:
-->'''Adrien:''' You mean I have to share power-ups with ''Scar''?\\
'''Fu:''' My condolences.
* Master Fu tells Adrien he always suspected that whoever had the Grimoire also had the Butterfly and the Peacock Miraculous and asks Adrien where he got the book from. It becomes awkward when Adrien says it was from his father.
* When Adrien comes back home, his father finds out he took the Grimoire and decides to pull Adrien out of school as punishment. Adrien, however, counters that if his father does, he'll tell his friends--one of whom has personal ties to Nadja Chamack, a news reporter--which in turn could become a PR disaster for Gabriel doing so over what would seem like a trivial matter. Gabriel awkwardly backpedals on the punishment.
-->'''Gabriel:''' You're... grounded? For a month?\\
'''Adrien:''' Better. [[DamnedByFaintPraise You almost sound like a parent.]]
* Chloé ComicalOverreacting to the news that Adrien is grounded. [[ComicallyMissingThePoint She thinks it means he'll never come back to school]], and her tears cause her mascara to run all down her face. (The author notes that she doesn't know what being "grounded" means.) Moreover, Adrien is in trouble because his father's book was lost... the same book Chloé ''could'' have retrieved but didn't because it had been in a trash can.
* Nathalie's [[YouHaveGotToBeKiddingMe reaction]] to being attacked by The Collector:
-->'''Nathalie:''' M. Agreste... the [[SymbolSwearing #$%@]].\\
'''The Collector:''' ''[with sparkles around his words]'' Call me The Collector!\\
'''Nathalie:''' I'm going to hit you when you lose.
** Later, with perfect comedic timing, [[BrickJoke Nathalie hits Gabriel after he's been defeated]]. For added hilarity, this ruins the ominous vibe he was going for when he stated he was looking forward to seeing Chat Noir again soon.
** Also note that Nathalie said WHEN he loses. She already knows the heroes triumphing over her akumatized boss is a ForegoneConclusion.
* Upon discovering that Adrien's escaped, Gabriel complains, "What's the point of grounding my son if he's ''not here'' when I attack him as an akuma?!"
* Scar's SkewedPriorities are on full display as she ponders the concept of Gabriel being Hawkmoth:
-->'''Scarlet:''' ''[thinking seriously] If I defeat Hawkmoth, then my reign as Scarlet Lady is over! I'd only be celebrated for a few months after!''\\
'''Chat:''' He fits the profile: total recluse, financially stable, a total d**k, you're not listening...\\
'''Scarlet:''' ''[beaming with anticipation]'' ''But then I'd get to comfort my poor, lonely Adrien!''\\
'''Chat:''' You know, [[NoPokerFace your poker face sucks]].
* Chat Noir and Scarlet Lady see the mess Gabriel has left in his office:
-->'''Scarlet:''' Ugh, '''someone''' threw a temper tantrum.\\
'''Chat:''' You '''would''' know exactly what that looks like.\\
'''Scarlet:''' What'd you say?!
* When The Collector arrives, Scarlet immediately summons her Lucky Charm, only to reveal that she has no clue what a ''bike pedal'' is. Meanwhile, The Collector's visibly annoyed at being ignored.
-->'''The Collector:''' Why do I even bother with my evil monologues?\\
'''Caption:''' He worked on that speech for '''days''', guys!
* Scarlet sends her yo-yo at The Collector, yelling "Take this!" He says, [[ThreatBackfire "Thanks, I will!"]] and, in a VisualPun, he uses his book to capture it.
* Scarlet Lady manages to use the bike pedal... by whacking The Collector with it. The author quips, "Scarlet has fully embraced the [[CuttingTheKnot Brute Force It]] methodology when it comes to Lucky Charms." Ironically, this is one of the few times she actually ''directly does her job''.
* After The Collector is defeated and Chat Noir tells Gabriel that his son is safe. Chat Noir promptly grabs Scarlet Lady on his way out as he does, with her once again complaining all the while.
* Marinette goes to Lila's home to give her notes on what she missed that day. HilarityEnsues:
** Lila's mom, whom the author flat-out admits she considers TheDitz. And it shows.
** When Marinette tries to pass her the notes, Lila says she's not coming back after Scarlet Lady humiliated her like that. The exchange that follows is a hilarious MythologyGag to Lila's antics in canon:
--->'''Marinette:''' So you're running away? You think you can trick your mom and miss a whole year of school?\\
'''Lila:''' ''[doing a '''crazy''' face]'' You underestimate my power.
** When Lila explains she can't come back because Scarlet Lady has humiliated her and everyone loves the heroine, Marinette makes a priceless disgusted face as she replies "Yeah, no, Scarlet Lady ''sucks''."
* When Adrien returns to school, Chloé rushes at him and has another FallingIntoHisArms fail when he goes for Marinette instead.
* Nathalie gets in one more [[ServileSnarker servile snark]] at Gabriel. He defends akumatizing himself over the lost book even though he had made a copy, saying, "I did what was necessary to protect my secret." Nathalie sarcastically replies, "You're truly the picture of subtlety, sir" (after he has gone down the trapdoor to his lair and can't hear her).
* Alix becomes Lila's friend, but Lila finds her attention "relentless" when Alix repeatedly texts her and tries to get her to go to Marinette's birthday party. It seems Lila will have to get used to having real friends who accept her as she is rather than followers she can manipulate with lies.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:La Befana: Tales of Gina the Witch]]
* When Chloé wants to find out what her classmates are planning, they refuse to tell her and she whines to Mme. Bustier, who forces them to include her. She's then dismayed to learn they're planning Marinette's birthday party.
* In the bonus image, after learning that Chloé got invited, Alya tells Sabrina that she is now the "Chloé wrangler" for the party. Sabrina instantly accepts with [[TheComicallySerious comical seriousness]].
* Tikki changes from being worried that Chloé will try to ruin Marinette's party to jealous that Marinette once used Plagg's Miraculous to excited when Plagg offers her the hair he saved from the time Marinette was Maotif so quickly Plagg can't keep up with her.
* Tom Dupain does the BumblingDad thing, getting flustered and throwing Marinette's birthday cake into the trash so she doesn't see it when she rushes downstairs to answer the doorbell. Sabine quickly agrees to Gina taking Marinette out of the house, telling Tom, "After all, we have to remake the cake."
* Chloé does some [[PokeThePoodle petty mischief]] to try to ruin Marinette's party--throwing her presents in a bush and unplugging the music system. Chloé congratulates herself on how much trouble she is causing, not knowing that her "wrangler," Sabrina, is following her and undoing everything she does. The [[TheComicallySerious utterly bored expression]] Sabrina sports sells it.
* Hawkmoth akumatizing Gina in a bonus page. As the caption under the page says, "Don't akumatize out of towners! They don't know your deal!"
-->'''Hawkmoth:''' Befana, I am Hawkmoth.\\
'''La Befana:''' Who?\\
'''Hawkmoth:''' The...the guy who makes akumas? Is in constant pursuit of the Ladybug earrings and Cat ring?\\
'''La Befana:''' What?
* Marinette when she notices Chloé at the party. She then gets in a zinger on the unwanted birthday guest:
-->'''Marinette:''' '''''Why's Chloé here?'''''\\
'''Chloé:''' I was invited--\\
'''Other classmate:'''[[note]]It's unknown who it was[[/note]] Bustier made us.\\
'''Marinette:''' So, where's your gift, Chloé?\\
'''Chloé:''' Um, the gift of my presence, obvi.\\
'''Marinette:''' I want the receipt.
* When La Befana crashes the party and attacks Marinette, she declares that she's going to punish her for lying about eating her candy. Marinette complains about how it's the ''one thing'' she lied about ''purely'' to spare Gina's feelings.
* A [[https://zoe-oneesama.tumblr.com/post/634711255677091840/gina-if-you-wait-five-more-minutes-youd-have-been bonus panel]] shows Lila [[https://64.media.tumblr.com/e5bf02fe6089b7f1d4bdbceffa4ddb4b/e0aae3045341eb9e-b9/s500x750/0b00dc687805cb21e26fbd117aa2d8df1af2e3cb.png watching]] the chaos unfold from her window, quietly horrified. The narration notes that her decision to stay home might have been the right call after all.
* Chloé baffles La Befana's moral judgement with ThePowerOfApathy, unwittingly saving herself from being turned into coal or a fairy:
-->'''La Befana:''' Will you protect Marinetta? Or punish her?!\\
'''Chloé:''' I don't care.\\
'''La Befana:''' Um, what? What does that mean? Coal? Fairy?\\
'''Chloé:''' ''[pointing at Marinette]'' She's getting away, you know.
* What actually gets Chloé to go after La Befana? [[TakenForGranite The akuma turning]] [[ItsAllAboutMe Chloé's driver]] [[TakenForGranite to stone]].
* Marinette's little meltdown is just as adorable as it is funny.
* Chat Noir tries to hide Marinette from La Befana but realizes that Scarlet Lady led the villainess right to her granddaughter. Chat Noir's fury while Scargives a DefensiveWhat makes it priceless.
* Scarlet Lady decides to use the Lucky Charm when La Befana tells her "Cowardly bugs get coal, Scarlet Brat."
* While La Befana turning Marinette into coal is not funny, an [[BerserkButton outraged]] Chat Noir putting the Lucky Charm in form of a tuba over her head certainly is. He is so utterly furious that even Scar is intimidated enough to listen to him.
-->'''Caption:''' [[WebVideo/DragonBallZAbridged You pushed the Marinette button, you shouldn't have pushed the Marinette button]].
* Chloé, who forced her classmates to invite her, complains about Lila being invited.
* Lila's present is a mask she wants to get rid of because it reminds her of Scarlet Lady.
-->'''Caption:''' You've heard of Liar Rossi, now get ready for [[BrutalHonesty No Filter]] Rossi!
* Lila apologizes for her {{Celebrity Lie}}s and is surprised when she's EasilyForgiven by most of the class. She then nervously laughs when [[ObliviousGuiltSlinging Kim reassures her that it's not like she tried to trick them into doing her homework or carrying her things for her]]; she knows she would've done just that had she not been caught.
-->'''Lila:''' HAHAHAHA! Yeah, who would do that?!\\
'''Lila:''' ''[thinking, in a sweat]'' ''They can never know...''

[[folder:Kung Food: Tales of Wang Cheng the Chef]]
* The chapter titles together form a HurricaneOfPuns about food: "Let's Taco Bout It," "Lettuce Work Together," "Romaine Calm," "In Queso Didn't Know," "Don't Cry Over Spilled Milk," "Cake It Easy," "Don't Clam Up!," "Once in a Melon," "You're The Wurst," "Brie It On," "You Make Miso Happy," "The Pesto's Yet To Come," and "Camembert To Brie Apart."
* Marinette does some ComicalOverreacting when Cheng Shifu tears off some petals from the flowers she gave him (from the canon episode, we know he wants to use the petals as a soup ingredient).
* Adrien jumps at the chance to help Marinette using his Mandarin skills and quickly arrives at her house after getting a call from Alya. [[BlatantLies He says he was in the neighborhood]], but the narration reveals he "ran right over," which is evident from his huffing and sweating.
* When she realizes that Cheng Shifu speaks French, Marinette pouts.
* Both Marinette and Adrien are surprised when Mayor Bourgeois speaks to Cheng Shifu with almost JapanesePoliteness. The author notes, "TFW the local asshole's father is respectful and it knocks you off balance."
* Adrien's reaction when Chloé asks him to intervene in a conversation between her and Marinette:
-->'''Chloé:''' So it's '''''your''''' Uncle competing, Marinette Dupain-Cheng? Only a loser would try to compete with soup! As a judge, I'll be sure to fail him.\\
'''Marinette:''' Well, it's a good thing there are 4 other judges with better taste than you!\\
'''Chloé:''' Hey! Adrien, are you gonna let her talk to me like that?!\\
'''Adrien:''' Did she say something wrong?\\
'''Chloé:''' Ugh! You're gonna regret this!
* After Adrien explains that Cheng plans to use the flowers in his soup, he asks who wouldn't love Marinette. Her response?
-->'''Marinette:''' [[RhetoricalQuestionBlunder Uh, Chloé, Scarlet Lady, jury's still out on your dad...]]\\
'''Adrien:''' I meant people with '''''taste.'''''
* When Cheng explains that his soup was sabotaged, he wonders who would do something. Both Adrien and Marinette instantly realize it was Chloé.
* When Hawkmoth akumatizes Cheng, he's frustrated at the fact he has to explain himself to ''another'' foreigner.
* Tikki's reaction when she realizes that Chloé left her behind.
* Chloé is so distracted by her phone call, [[FailedASpotCheck she doesn't notice Kung Food's slaves approaching her]].
* While hanging on a rope over boiling soup, Chloé [[NeverMyFault insists that she has done absolutely nothing to deserve this]] and [[SkewedPriorities worries that her hair is going to smell]].
* When Kung Food sends out his minions to find Marinette and Chat Noir, Jagged Stone pulls off a Naruto Run.
* When fighting Jagged Stone (who's wielding a seafood club), Chat Noir makes such a horrible pun that [[LamePunReaction Marinette can't help but comment on it]].
-->'''Chat Noir:''' This [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scampi scampi]] happening!\\
'''Marinette:''' ''[with SweatDrop]'' Chat, oh my gawd.
* Marinette pulls a variation of DoorJudo on Jagged Stone. She yells, "Hey Jagged Stone! I think [[BerserkButton XY]] is more rock n' roll than you!" When he charges at her, she dodges, pulling open the closet door behind her. Due to going TooFastToStop, Jagged falls inside the closet, allowing Chat Noir to lock him in with a chair.
** Chat Noir and Marinette casually fist-bumping each other as the former slides the chair in place just seals it.
** A tagline also mentions what Marinette apparently did afterwards offscreen:
--->'''Tags:''' #Marinette stops to wash her mouth out with soap for slandering Jagged Stone like that
* Instead of the cold reply that canon Ladybug made to Chat Noir's [[TerriblePickUpLines lame pick-up line]] in the elevator, "We could go places," Marinette blushes and babbles--which makes Chat Noir blush as well.
-->'''Caption:''' Anime didn't prepare him for when the flirting [[AchievementsInIgnorance WORKS!]]
** Embarrassed Marinette is grateful for the MomentKiller when the elevator suddenly stops, thinking, "Oh thank God!"
* The mayor is CaughtMonologuing and gets an [[KilledMidSentence instant KO from Chat Noir]].
** Kung Food calls him an idiot and useless; Chloé agrees.
** A tagline for the page where the mayor is caught monologuing suggests this to be "why The Mime was actually formidable."
* Chloé is scared of falling into the boiling hot soup beneath her... as [[ComicallyMissingThePoint it will ruin her hair]].
-->'''Tikki:''' [[DumbassHasAPoint You]] '''''[[DumbassHasAPoint almost]]''''' [[DumbassHasAPoint have a point there]].
* When Kung Food starts sending his minions, Hawkmoth warns him to take down Chat Noir before attacking Marinette since "Attacking the girl never ends well." Later, Alec makes her eyes sting with smelly cheese... which makes Chat Noir ''goes berserk'' on him and Marlena while Hawkmoth {{Facepalm}}s and laments, [[IWarnedYou "Dammit, what did I tell you?"]] The caption sums it up perfectly:
--->'''Marinette:''' Gets some dust in her eyes.\\
'''Chat Noir:''' YOU MOTHER-!
* As a funny EasterEgg, every time the front of Kung Food's shirt is shown, there is a different face emoji on it.
* When Chat Noir rescues Chloé from Kung Food, she starts to [[ComplainingAboutRescuesTheyDontLike complain immediately]]. The annoyed Chat Noir just cuts her short, and Chloé then declares that she will put "him" in his place. Tikki wonders if she means Kung Food or Chat Noir.
* Chloé is finally able to transform, and she confidently invokes "Lucky Charm." Kung Food then produces a {{BFS}} made of pepperoni pizza, scaring her so much that she lets the Lucky Charm hit her on the head.
* Marinette manages to subdue Wang Cheng long enough for Chat Noir to hit him with a Cataclysm and free the corrupted akuma, much to Scarlet Lady's chagrin.
-->'''Scarlet Lady:''' I could've done that!\\
'''Marinette:''' Then why '''''didn't''''' you?
* At the end, Wang Cheng is given another chance for his entry. When Chloé tries to ruin the mood, Adrien points out that she was kicked off the jury by her father. [[BlatantLies She tries to save face by claiming she resigned]], but Adrien points to the camera in the kitchen, showing that Chloé didn't think that the place was being monitored and that she couldn't talk her way out of it this time since she was [[CaughtOnTape caught in the act]]. Chloé can only give a flustered response to all of this. Even the caption calls her out on her stupidity.
-->'''Caption:''' How can you forget CAMERAS exist?!
* There's quite a bit of DramaticIrony when Adrien tells Master Fu about the fight. Fu notes how it's strange that Scarlet Lady didn't show up to save Chloé despite claiming to be her best friend, but Adrien just dismisses the whole thing because both Chloé and Scarlet Lady are liars.
-->'''Tags:''' #Fu's trying to have valid points Adrien stop shutting them down!
** Also, the caption indicates that Adrien is doing this because he'd rather talk about Marinette.
** There's also humor in the DramaticIrony of Adrien being RightForTheWrongReasons: Sacrlet Lady did lie about [[FriendOfMaskedSelf being best friends with Chloé]] because they're actually the same person.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Evillustrator: Tales of Nathaniel the Artist]]
* The Marinette in Nathaniel's comic-book fantasy says, "You're amazing and [[OutOfCharacter totally write me completely in character]]."
* Adrien's DeathGlare when Chloé shows Nathaniel's drawings to the class and exposes the latter's crush on Marinette. He even manages to crush a pen with his bare hands, much to Nino's shock.
--->'''Caption:''' I guess Adrien could afford to break a tablet pen like it's nothing.
* Hawkmoth lampshades how [[BreakingTheFourthWall early in the episode]] Nathaniel is akumatized. He also notes how the latter has "a Chloé Bourgeois grudge" and says that they make things fun for him.
* When Sabrina and Marinette ask Chloé why exactly she'll be too busy to work on their project, Chloé claims it's none of their business. The next panel shows her looking up Scarlet Lady pictures.
* Evillustrator attacks Chloé with a giant hair dryer. Chloé cries, "Aahhhh no! Mercy! Not my hair!"
** There's also a small picture of Sabrina's head showing her [[NoSympathy smugly reacting to Chloé's plight with a satisfied, "Ha!"]]
** Marinette and Sabrina decide to just head to the former's house and [[ScrewThisImOuttaHere leave Chloé to her own devices]].
* Chat Noir arrives and annoys Evillustrator with his puns, [[ScrewThisImOuttaHere making the akuma leave]].
* Chloé tries to make Chat do her homework for her, and when he refuses, she tells him he should leave if he won't do anything useful. [[ThreatBackfire So he does.]]
* After Marinette agrees to go on a date with Evillustrator, Sabrina asks her what she's going to do about it. Marinette says she'll have to find a way to let Chat Noir know about it, only for Chat to ''[[AndHereHeComesNow immediately]]'' show up and ask in a panic if she's alright, having seen the akuma leave through her window.
-->'''Caption:''' Well, it all worked out in the end.
* Sabrina is [[{{Fangirl}} beside herself]] that she gets to meet Chat Noir and that he remembers her name (not knowing he probably wouldn't if she weren't his classmate).
* Sabrina tells Marinette that her first day without Chloé was amazing. This causes Chloé to [[SneezeCut sneeze]]. It gets even better when an unamused Chloé has to do her work herself.
* Marinette dresses up for the date, including wearing her hair in braids rather than pigtails. Chat Noir feels ''extremely'' envious, saying to himself that she's wasting that look on the akuma.
* Evillustrator says that he always keeps his promises (in this case, he agreed he wouldn't hurt Chloé if Marinette went out with him). This is followed by a DescriptionCut to Alix, who is annoyed that Nathaniel has seemingly abandoned their plans to hang out on his birthday.
* Marinette's reaction to Evillustrator claiming that she is just like Chloé. The villain is terrified.
* Marinette bemoans her moral dilemma of whether to continue helping Chat Noir (and thus break her promise and make him worry) or leaving him to depend on a useless partner. Master Fu offers to walk her home, clearly ready to offer her a Miraculous, but she says, "Excuse me, I'm not done spiraling."
* A page of RapidFireComedy when Evillustrator goes after Chloé:
** Tikki [[DeadpanSnarker snarks]] about Chloé's terrible "traumatized by hair dryers" excuse for not doing her homework, with Chloé agreeing [[SkewedPriorities since "hairdryers can't dull my beauty"]] ([[ComicallyMissingThePoint rather than how lame the excuse is]]).
** Tikki and Chloé find out Evillustrator broke into the hotel [[MundaneUtility by having the Kwami to phase through the wall to check what's happening on the other side]]. [[HereWeGoAgain The two are exasperated more than anything else about having to fight yet another akuma.]]
** Scarlet [[BlatantLies boasts how she'd never let her]] [[ButHeSoundsHandsome "good friend" Chloé]] come to harm, only for Chat Noir to [[WhatTheHellHero not so subtly remind her]] [[ContinuityNod of how she nearly "let" Chloé be made into Kung Food's soup]], [[DramaticIrony not knowing]] that [[BruceWayneHeldHostage Chloé IS Scarlet Lady]].
* Chat Noir growls and glares at Evillustrator [[AwesomenessIsAForce hard enough to make him flinch]], then [[OneHitKill KO]]'s him with a hard throw of the small bouncy ball that Scarlet Lady gets as a Lucky Charm. As the author notes, Evillustrator "shouldn't have pushed the [[BerserkButton Marinette button]]."
* The next day, Marinette gets startled by Adrien's sudden appearance when she closes her locker and asks him if he was hiding in one of the other lockers just so he could surprise her like that. He nervously denies it, making her realize that he really was.
* Marinette's over-the-top expressions when she tells Adrien about her promise not to get involved in akuma fights anymore, which means she's forced to leave Chat Noir to rely on Scarlet Lady, who is "the worst."
* Nathaniel then gets startled ''twice'', first by Sabrina, then by Alix.
* Alix is initially annoyed that Nathaniel ditched their plans for his birthday and ignored her texts. Then he tells her why he abandoned her yesterday...
-->'''Alix:''' ''[[[EasilyForgiven fist-bumping Nathaniel]]]'' [[SeenItAll Welcome to the birthday akuma club!]]\\
'''Sabrina:''' ''[{{sweatdrops}}s]'' You guys need therapy.\\
'''Caption:''' Everybody needs therapy U_U
* Master Fu briefly considers giving Marinette the Ox, but he says it "may be hard for a teenager to hide." Marinette is lucky, because the jewelry for the Ox Kwami Stompp is a nose ring.
* When Master Fu is deciding which Miraculous to give Marinette, Wayzz asks him [[OnceDoneNeverForgotten if he's going to put it in her purse again]]. Fu [[BigNo quickly denies that]].
[[/folder]]
!!Season 3
[[folder:Vanisher: Tales of Sabrina the Invisible]]
* When Chloé wakes up to her cell phone alarm, she starts complaining about how the butler should have woken her up earlier. The lurking Vanisher (assuming Chloé is [[ThinkingOutLoud talking to herself]]) thinks "She sure likes the sound of her own voice." Though Chloé does talk to herself a lot, in this case, she is probably speaking to Tikki.
* The casual way the other students take the disappearance of Chloé (with Lila laughing and saying the mocking pictures on the board are telling the truth) contrasts with the [[AndIMustScream horrifying situation]] Chloé is actually in. She's at the mercy of Vanisher, is completely helpless, can't open doors, and won't even be able to eat or drink anything unless the akuma provides it. Sinc she and the earrings are in one dimension while Tikki is in another, there's no transformation or WorldHealingWave available. The situation, some might say, CrossesTheLineTwice.
* Chloé has true ComedicSociopathy. She [[NeverMyFault never admits fault]] even when an angry akuma has pushed her down and has a sharp foot pointed at her chest.
-->'''Vanisher:''' ...You're the one who messed up, '''remember'''?\\
'''Chloé:''' Impossible. I '''never''' mess up!
* The flashback to the day before: Chloé and Sabrina are about to have lunch when Chloé notices Jagged Stone is at the hotel and being interviewed by Nadja Chamak. First, Jagged [[ThisIsGonnaSuck isn't very happy]] when Chloé notices him. Secondly, Chloé starts going on about how she and Scarlet Lady are best friends who hung out yesterday in the hopes of getting an interview herself, only for Sabrina to point out that ''she'' is Chloé's best friend and that they were actually working on their school project yesterday. Chloé glares at Sabrina each time, with the comic using ''the exact same panel''.
* Jagged calls Chloé "the little psycho who almost poisoned me." He is not amused. Nadja thinks, "What a scoop! Isn't that the mayor's daughter!?"
* Chloé seems to have forgotten her situation as she runs around calling, "Daddy, I'm right here, pay attention to me!" and "Everyone, stop ignoring me!" The author adds, "Just a crumb of attention." This is really getting to her where she lives.
* In practically the same breath as calling for his missing daughter, the mayor adds, "And all your clothes!? They were expensive!"
* [[https://zoe-oneesama.tumblr.com/post/642952118414770176/may-we-please-get-a-close-up-of-plagg-in-that-last Plagg's face]] when he eats the cheese Adrien gave him.
* Adrien crosses his RageBreakingPoint and flies into a rage after hearing that Scarlet Lady won't be coming for the ''third time in a row''. It ends with him curled up in a TroubledFetalPosition.
* Master Fu tells Tikki to go with Chat Noir to help stop the akuma but warns her to only use the WorldHealingWave and not Lucky Charm. While Adrien is questioning this, Tikki has an ImagineSpot of Chat Noir being buried under ''countless'' ladybug-patterned items. [[FreezeFrameBonus If you carefully check,]] [[ContinuityNod most of the items in the pile are ones that Scarlet Lady has previously summoned]].
* The fact that Chloé ''still'' hasn't stopped shouting at people despite knowing that no one can hear her.
* There's something oddly humorous about [[BigGood Master Fu]] [[RefugeInAudacity walking through the front door of the Dupain-Cheng bakery]] [[TheCallKnowsWhereYouLive to make sure that Marinette gets the Miraculous this time]] [[TaughtByExperience to make sure nothing goes wrong]].
* Chloé's increasing desperation to have ''someone'' [[AttentionWhore pay attention to her]].
* Marinette gets surprised by another Kwami.
* Pollen gives a little giggle when Marinette asks if she can help Chat Noir and a little hum when Marinette asks for instructions.
* [[MassOhCrap Everyone]] having a genuine FreakOut about [[BigDamnHeroes Marigold's]] [[BigEntrance grand debut]]. It becomes even funnier when you think about their (escalating) reasons:
** Vanisher: She genuinely DidntSeeThatComing, [[CripplingOverspecialization having only prepared for Chat Noir and (possibly) Scarlet Lady]], unaware [[BruceWayneHeldHostage she already had the latter at her mercy]].
** Chat Noir: He's probably concerned that he, [[RuleOfThree yet]] [[ContinuityNod again]], [[ThisIsGonnaSuck might have to deal with]] '''ANOTHER''' [[GloryHound obnoxious female teenager]] [[FakeUltimateHero "pretending to be a heroine"]] (unaware that this one ACTUALLY has Paris and [[BattleCouple especially HIS]] [[ViolentlyProtectiveGirlfriend best interests at heart]]).
** Tikki: Aside from also [[DidntSeeThatComing not seeing that coming]], once she learns Marigold's secret identity, she'll have to deal with being yet again [[BreakTheCutie denied Marinette by fate]].
** Chloé: She is [[HateAtFirstSight absolutely livid]] that [[ItsAllAboutMe there's another superheroine in Paris]], [[SpotlightStealingSquad threatening to steal her spotlight]].
** Hawkmoth: An AtomicFBomb marks the beginnings of an episode-long VillainousBreakdown; [[CrossesTheLineTwice he even gets]] [[EvenEvilHasStandards scolded by Nathalie for swearing while psychically linked to a child]].
* Without Scarlet Lady to do it, how does the akuma get purified? Tikki ''eats'' it and then ''spits out'' the Miraculous Cure.
** Tikki trying to say "Miraculous Ladybug" with an akuma in her mouth. It sounded like "Mwaculush... Bladybub!" Marigold and Chat Noir are shocked by Tikki ''spitting out'' the Miraculous Cure.
** It becomes even funnier when reading the author's notes. They note that the heroes are ''plastered against the windows'' because Tikki created so many magical ladybugs for the cure that it fills the building almost to bursting. This is the promised negative consequence of doing the cure without her holder.
* Chloé gets a put-down as Sabrina finally rejects her:
-->'''Chloé:''' You're such a wuss you became an akuma and attacked your '''''best friend'''''!\\
'''Sabrina:''' You are '''''[[FormerFriendOfAlphaBitch not]]''''' [[WeUsedToBeFriends my friend]].\\
'''Chloé:''' Excuse you, '''''[[ComicallyMissingThePoint I]]''''' [[ComicallyMissingThePoint am the one breaking up with]] '''''[[ComicallyMissingThePoint you]]'''''!\\
'''Sabrina:''' Either way, we're not friends, '''stupid'''!
* Hawkmoth rants at how much harder things will be for him now that the heroes have "a bee with a one-hit K.O.?!"
* Chat Noir suggests "New-Bee" as a PunnyName for the Bee heroine, but she takes the name "Marigold" for the flowers she used against Vanisher.
* Marigold has an ExpressiveAccessory: when Chat Noir doesn't respond as warmly as she'd hoped, the hair ribbons on each side of her head droop in disappointment.
* Pollen enthusiastically endorses the name choice of "Marigold," saying it's the "Herb of the Sun," representing "passion and creativity" and also "cruelty and grief--traits often associated with revered queens." Marinette finds this a little off-putting.
* Tikki's use of the Miraculous Cure leaves her with a stomach ache well after the action is over.
* Marinette gets a visit from Chat Noir after the battle. When she says that they were lucky the new Bee heroine showed up, he responds, "I guess." She gets a little anime-style "JAB" arrow to the head from this and then has a ComicalAngryFace with CrossPoppingVeins as she asks, "Something wrong with the new girl, Chat Noir?" She does calms down when he explains that he has trouble trusting other heroes after Scarlet Lady and Volpina, though.
-->'''Caption:''' Came real close to being punched out on my balcony, Noir.
* Marinette offers Pollen a sugarcube while asking what the Kwami likes to eat, thinking it'll be somethin glike sugar, honey, or flower pollen. She gets BlankWhiteEyes of shock when Pollen reveals that her favorite food is ''chili peppers'' instead. They would be hard for Marinette to get from the bakery, but the author says, "... since Marinette is into gardening (she's got those rose bushes on her balcony) she's fine with having a little chili pepper plant just for Pollen."
* Chloé gets a taste of her own medicine--when she makes her dramatic return to school, nobody cares, all of them busy talking about Marigold. The only question Chloé is asked, by Alya, is, "Got any info on the new heroine?" Chloé replies, "NO! Who cares about her?!"
* The difference between Adrien and Marinette hiding their identities: Marinette stays up all night making resin-cast bee accessories to hand out to her friends, claiming she was inspired by Marigold, so that it looks like the Bee Miraculous is [[NeedleInAStackOfNeedles just one more item out of that batch]]. When Nino notices Adrien's ring, Adrien [[BlatantLies just lies]] and says he's had it for years.
* Marinette kindly asks Lila which accessory she would like, not noticing Adrien and Alya's {{Death Glare}}s behind her (as the two are still mad at Lila for stealing the book and lying about being friends with Scarlet Lady on the ''Ladyblog'', respectively). Lila nervously tells Marinette that any one is alright.
* Chloé apparently thinks she's such a target because all the akumas are ''[[YoureJustJealous jealous]]'' of her; Tikki snarks that that's probably not the problem.
* Chloé [[DidntThinkThisThrough finally realizes one big problem with breaking off her friendship with Sabrina]]: she now has to do her own schoolwork.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Riposte: Tales of Kagami the Fencer]]
* Upon meeting with an unsubtle Pollen, Tikki tells her that she has to hide herself to protect Marigold's secret identity. [[TemptingFate Plagg declares it shouldn't be a problem]] since, thanks to the spell on the Kwamis, [[TemptingFate none of them can say their respective holders' names]]... and Pollen promptly points to Marinette and ([[ExactWords without saying her holder's name]]) asks if that means she can't tell them ''that's'' her holder. Cue Tikki crying at the unfairness of it all. (That her chosen holder is even further out of her reach than before, that Pollen figured out a loophole after about three seconds, or both? You make the call!)
* Alix reaches out to Sabrina to see how she's doing after breaking up with Chloé. Lila then makes a "friendly" offer to let Sabrina do her homework, earning a jab in the ribs from Alix.
* Chloé puts up a "BFF Tryouts" list to replace Sabrina, but nobody signs up. When she demands why, [[RhetoricalQuestionBlunder everyone gives legitimate reasons]] [[ZeroPercentApprovalRating for hating her]].
** In addition, Nathaniel just says "You suck" rather than mentioning the event that got him turned into an akuma like everyone else.
** Chloé is outraged and [[{{Hypocrite}} demands to know who asked them]].
* Marinette is interested in the fencing tryouts, saying, "It could be useful!" The author notes, "N-not for any...you know, '''particular''' reason." (Marigold's Venom move is essentially a touché with a short weapon.)
* At tryouts, Marinette quickly defeats Adrien. [[ComicallyMissingThePoint Chloé promptly cheers for her "Adrichéri,"]] who just tells her off for being disruptive and informs her that it was Marinette who got the point in their bout.
* When Kagami shows up to demand a place in the fencing school, Chloé says, "Wow, what a noisy show off." The irony is [[ObliviousToHisOwnDescription lost on her]]. Marinette and Marc both give the bully epic side-eyes.
* It's repeatedly noted that Kagami is needlessly making things harder for herself:
** When told that she needs to defeat one of D'Argencourt's students to be admitted to his fencing school, she immediately challenges his best combatant. The entire team {{sweatdrop}}s as they note than she doesn't have to.
** Kagami suggests that she and Adrien disconnect themselves from the machines. Marc notes that by doing so, she just gave up the only impartial judge she had.
** Kagami pushes Adrien off the mat, which Marinette notes is an illegal move. The taglines even state how counterproductive this is and that it would never be allowed in an official tournament. However, D'Argencourt is so excited by it being [[ComicallyMissingThePoint "real fencing"]] that he doesn't do anything about it.
** She also drives the bout up the stairs and away from all the qualified observers.
--->'''Tags:''' None of you are going to finals with rule breaking moves like that
* There are three witnesses that D'Argencourt asks about the results of the fencing match: Marc, Marinette, and Chloé. Marc panics and abstains, Marinette in a fluster tries to analyze the rule breakage (which is promptly rejected), and Chloé instantly makes a partisan call in favor of Adrien. D'Argencourt accepts Chloé's opinion without a second thought and calls it a "clear victory" for his school, much to Marinette's incredulity.
* When Kagami accepts the decision of the referee that she lost, Chloé gloats, "See? Even '''she''' knows to listen to her '''superiors'''." [[BullyingADragon Kagami responds by driving her saber into the floor right next to Chloé's foot]]. The author notes, "Real close to losing a toe there, Chlo."
* When they see Kagami's face, both Adrien and Marinette [[SpeakInUnison think in unison]], "Shit she's cute."
* Chloé ''gets excited'' when she sees the akuma going after Kagami; Tikki just complains that she doesn't get enough cookies for having to put up with her holder.
* The RunningGag of akuma victims from outside Paris having ''no idea'' what's going on continues. Kagami watches wide-eyed as the butterfly wiggles through the car door and looks completely flummoxed when Hawkmoth starts talking to her. The author quips, "Welcome to our fair city, Kagami!"
* Scarlet Lady has a ZeroPercentApprovalRating with Marinette and Adrien. When Riposte appears, they shout, "Oh no, she's an '''akuma'''!" When Scar shows up, they yell, [[FromBadToWorse "Even worse!"]]
* Adrien's driver is neglected again. The author notes, "Maybe worry about your driver who just hopped an intersection in half a car." The tags add, "#i'm sure he's fine," referring back to what Chat Noir said in "Simon Says" when he sent The Gorilla crashing down in a broken elevator.
* Riposte declares, "This won't take long!" when she starts attacking Scarlet Lady before her "rematch" with Adrien. Scar replies, "Rude!"
* Scarlet Lady gives a [[JerkassHasAPoint for once deserved]] WhatTheHellHero to Marigold, saying, "You got my prince hurt?! I should fire you, you wanna-bee." However, the author notes, "Scar you don't have the authority to fire anyone."
* Marigold hides Adrien in a sarcophagus at the Louvre, which isn't good for his claustrophobia. But because she [[ButHeSoundsHandsome praises Chat Noir]] by saying, "Yeah, don't you know? He's the '''real''' hero of Paris," he forgives her for locking him in the case, and his respect meter for het goes up a bit more.
* Marigold does a literal {{Facepalm}} when she realizes that Scarlet Lady allowed Riposte to follow her to the Louvre, where Marigold hid Adrien. "Oh my gawd, you're so stupid," she laments.
* When Chat Noir arrives, he and Marigold engage in WittyBanter similar to the lines between him and Ladybug in canon.
-->'''Chat Noir:''' There's a fencing tournament at the Louvre and I wasn't invited?\\
'''Marigold:''' Well don't take so long at the vet!\\
'''Chat Noir:''' [[ActuallyPrettyFunny Pft!]]
* When Scarlet Lady begins demanding to know where Adrien is, Chat gets her to leave by pointing out that since she's about to detransform, people will see her with MessyHair. She quickly runs off. Then, as Adrien meets up with Marinette and Kagami, Chloé is glaring at them but doesn't want them to see her hair. Tikki can be seen grinning smugly at her holder's frustration.
* Marinette gives Adrien and Kagami a hug and them has to introduce herself since Kagami never got her name back at the gym. Kagami also has a rather alarmed expression compared to Adrien's very happy one.
* When Marinette and Adrien try to convince Kagami not to give up due to how much D'Argencourt drooled over her match with Adrien, Kagami notes that that's not what Chloé saw but refers to her as Marinette's friend. Marinette makes a disgusted face at that idea, which causes [[NotSoStoic Kagami to laugh]].
* Rather than come up with a name for Kagami's school, the author uses in its place a crossed-out "blah blah blah."
* At the end of the episode, Plagg tells Adrien some bad news:
-->'''Plagg:''' [[LampshadeHanging You do]] [[DidntThinkThisThrough realize that]] [[ThrowTheDogABone by giving the spot to the sword lady]] [[NoGoodDeedGoesUnpunished that you gave up a chance]] [[BittersweetEnding to be on a team with pigtails, right?]]\\

[[folder:Captain Hardrock: Tales of Anarka the Pirate]]
* Alya being completely blown away by how in denial Marinette is of her feelings for Adrien.
* After Anarka tells the kids that everything is allowed on the ''Liberty'', [[IncomingHam Chloé]] promptly shows up. [[DeadpanSnarker Juleka]] then clarifies that everything goes on the ''Liberty'' except '''''[[TheFriendNobodyLikes her]]'''''. [[HateAtFirstSight Anarka agrees]].
** Ivan's solution to getting rid of Chloé is to pick her up, haul her off the ship, and then draw up the gangplank so she can't get back on board.
** Chloé is so furious, vengeful, and petty that she actually goes right to the nearest police officer and files a false noise complaint about the '''Liberty''' before anyone onboard has played a single note. She even rides in the police car and waves to everyone to inform them that she's behind their concert being shut down.
* Alya can dish out the heavy hints about crushes, but she can't take them--she freaks out and blushes when Marinette [[ComicallyMissingThePoint connects one of her friend's hints about her and Adrien to Alya and Nino instead]].
* Gabriel [[KickTheDog revokes his permission for Adrien to attend the concert]]. Plagg tries to comfort him, only to learn [[MoodWhiplash Adrien's got something else on his mind]]:
-->'''Adrien:''' What do you think, [[ContinuityNod pink dye or blue dye this time]]?\\
'''Plagg:''' ''[visibly {{sweatdrop}}ping]''
** Nino then gets a call updating him on the situation... and asking what his favorite color is.
--->'''Nino:''' Adrien, put the credit card down!
** [[FunnyBackgroundEvent Alya and Marinette's reactions]] to Nino's side of the phone call.
--->'''Tags:''' #adrien, we can talk about this rationally and wITHOUT an Amazon Prime account!
* Luka and Marinette's first meeting amounts to an attempt to out-dork each other. Said meeting ends with Marinette slapping her cheeks and thinking, "What are you doing?! Your heart belongs to Chat Noir!" Pollen is confused by her reaction.
* As Adrien watches the reporting on the music festival on TV, Nadja proclaims, [[YourTelevisionHatesYou "You'd have to be a complete loser to miss it!"]]
-->'''Adrien:''' [[LampshadeHanging Why do you mock me, Nadja?]]
* Plagg tries to comfort Adrien by giving a "private concert." To Adrien's dismay, said concert is Plagg's off-key song about how cheese astounds the Kwami. Unlike in canon, where Adrien gives Plagg a gentle, wimpy compliment for his attempt, this version of Adrien covers his ears, throws back his head, and curses.
-->'''Caption:''' Things could always be worse, Adrien.
* Marinette describes Luka as cool, nice, and mature. [[DescriptionCut The next panel]] shows Luka worried about looking cool in front of her.
* Everyone reacting with an [[YouHaveGotToBeKiddingMe "Oh,]] '''[[YouHaveGotToBeKiddingMe C'MON!]]'''[[YouHaveGotToBeKiddingMe "]] when they realize that Chloé is the one who submitted the noise complaint.
* As Roger begins ticketing Anarka for various {{Felony Misdemeanor}}s, one is because he got seasick. In canon, he could have gotten this motion sickness from standing on the gangplank. Here, no gangplank means he's standing on the rock-solid dock.
* Officer Roger has to deliver his tickets as paper airplanes because Anarka didn't put the gangplank back down after Chloé left. What makes it funnier is that Anarka waits for him to do this before responding.
* When Hawkmoth proposes to give Captain Hardrock an indestructible ship to blast her music, she says, "Oh yeah that's a way better plan. I was just not gonna pay the tickets." The author comments, "Nobody thought you were gonna pay the tickets."
* Chloé thinks Luka is cute, though badly dressed. She expects him to swoon from her name alone, but when he hears it, he instead gives her an ugly look, [[ZeroPercentApprovalRating having plenty about her from Juleka]]. Clueless Chloé asks, "What's that look for?" As the author says, "Your reputation precedes you."
* Chloé doesn't care that her father might be in danger, but as soon as Tikki mentions that her CelebCrush XY might be as well, [[SkewedPriorities she suddenly starts caring]].
* When Captain Hardrock captures the teenagers on her ship, the chains she summons bind Ivan to Mylène, Juleka to Rose, Luka to Marinette, and Alya to Nino. As the author jokes, [[ShipperOnDeck "The ship is a shipper!"]]
* After Anarka is akumatized, thus interfering with the music festival, the news caption changes to "No fun allowed," [[SeenItAll with Nadja looking more fed up than anything else]]. This is juxtaposed with Chat Noir rejoicing at the danger reported on the news, happy that he now has an excuse to unground himself and can even check in on his friends. Then he sees Scarlet Lady heading the same direction. "Good feeling gone," he sighs. In the end tags the author says, "#scar really knows how to suck the joy out of anything."
* Marigold and Scarlet Lady exchange some burns. The author says in the end notes, "Marigold bringing extra SASS today."
-->'''Marigold:''' It's harder to sneak away than I thought.\\
'''Scarlet Lady:''' Ha! That just proves how much of a '''''new-bee''''' you are!\\
'''Marigold:''' Must be easy for you because you don't '''''have''''' friends.
* When Captain Hardrock and Chat Noir are dueling, she calls him a scallywag, landlubber, and bilge rat. He [[InsistentTerminology insists]] that he's a bilge ''[[ITakeOffenseToThatLastOne cat]]''.
* As the members of Kitty Section and their friends beach the ship, [[ThisIsGonnaSuck Luka laments how sore they're all going to be tomorrow]].
* Scarlet Lady brags, "Your hero has once again saved the day." Someone in the crowd (who took part in beaching the ship) asks, "Uh, didn't '''we''' save the day?" [[IRejectYourReality Scar loudly denies it.]]
* When Adrien says to his father that he hopes they can play the piano together since he can't go to his friends' concert, Gabriel changes his mind and allows Adrien to attend the concert so that Adrien won't know Gabriel hasn't played ''in ten years''.
* Rose yelling out that she and Juleka are dating by working it into the song lyrics... which completely went against Juleka's plan to stay ''out'' of the spotlight.
* Luka and Adrien both cheerily compliment Marinette. After Luka calls her "cute," [[ExplainExplainOhCrap Adrien begins to say "Gorgeo--" before finally realizing he now has a love rival]]. The fact that Adrien gives Luka a jealous DeathGlare as he catches on while Luka simply responds with a knowing smug makes it even better.

[[folder:Syren: Tales of Ondine the Mermaid]]
* As in "Kung Food," [[HurricaneOfPuns every title has a pun]], this time sea related: "Fintastic," "Mermaid For Each Other," "Totally Shellfish," "Shorely You're Joking," "It's O-fish-al!," "Seas the Day," "A Bit Over-whale-ming," "That was on Porpoise!," "A Crabby Day," "You're Krilling Me," "Oh the Humanatee," "Let Minnow What You Think," "Oh, For Shore!," "We're Manta Be," "Sea You Later," and "Feeling a Little Jelly."
* The fact that the animals somehow escaped from the zoo so easily is lampshaded when Kim and Ondine (and a random bystander), clearly worried, wonder how that could have happened. The author notes in the tags that she initially thought it was because Animan (who hasn't yet appeared in the comic) had returned in the canon episode.
-->'''Tags:''' #nope! they just GOT OUT
* Kim unknowingly calls himself an idiot. Ondine thinks he's not wrong. The author quips, "Just know what you're signing up for, Ondine."
* When Kim runs off to the movies, Ondine reaches out a hand and calls out to him making it look like she's going to say something like "Stay, I love you!" Instead, she yells, "At least take off the swim cap!"
* Marigold lures the escaped panthers into the van by using her spinning top like a cat toy.
* Chloé isn't interested in helping to round up the zoo animals... until she sees Chat Noir and Marigold being interviewed. [[NeverMyFault She's then furious over being excluded from that]].
* After Chat Noir and Marigold finish up with the animals and the resulting interview, [[IRejectYourReality Scarlet Lady accuses them of keeping that a secret from her]]... prompting Chat Noir to point out that she literally just told them ''she saw them on TV''.
* Chat Noir reveals that he actually does know where Marigold got her Miraculous from, and he's not telling Scarlet Lady. He even says this while sticking his tongue out, causing the Ladybug heroine to throw a tantrum.
** He later privately admits to Marigold that he doesn't actually know much more than Scarlet does but still relishes in her not knowing that.
** Marigold seeing this [[NotSoAboveItAll unpleasant side]] of Chat Noir doesn't quite reach BrokenPedestal, but she still {{sweatdrop}}s as she sighs, "You can be pretty childish when you want to." The author justifies, "Well, Marigold, when you're dealing with a child, sometimes you have to stoop to their level."
* The FunnyBackgroundEvent of the man cleaning in the background, only to then notice the akuma flying towards Ondine and run away.
* Chloé is so annoyed over Chat Noir and Marigold keeping secrets from her that she forgets she was supposed to be seeing a movie with the rest of the class. Tikki [[TheGadfly decides not to remind her]].
* It seems Marinette has a reputation for being prompt. The author notes in the tags, "#alya you gotta get used to Marinette being late to things now that she has her... side job."
* When the group at the theater realize their bully isn't coming, [[AndThereWasMuchRejoicing all of them throw up their arms delightedly and rejoice in unison, "Chloé didn't come!"]]
* When Master Fu forbids Plagg and Wayzz from entering his lab to prevent them from learning any power-up recipes, Plagg tells Wayzz he's "gonna break [Fu's] pots."
* Master Fu and Adrien comment on how Scarlet Lady is upset by Marigold's presence and being left out of the loop. After a {{Beat Panel}}, Master Fu shrugs it off with a dismissive [[NoSympathy "sucks for her"]] that Adrien wholeheartedly agrees with.
* Chloé doesn't want to help fight the akuma flooding Paris because [[SkewedPriorities it would get her hair wet]]. Tikki points out that the water is rising to the level of her apartment.
-->'''Tikki:''' Looks like your hair's getting wet either way.\\
'''Chloé:''' '''''[[BigNo NOOOOO!]] Not Seine water! Fish pee there!'''''
* Marinette and Adrien have a little more advance warning of the flood than Marinette did in canon, in which she only noticed water coming into the theater when her feet started getting wet. The two are able to slip away without Alya noticing; she turns to first one and then the other, only to find them both gone. The author jokes, "It's too late, Alya. The Seine has them now."
* When Scarlet Lady shows up and berates Marigold and Chat Noir for being slow, they ignore her.
* When Master Fu berates Chat for revealing the former's identity and location to Marigold, she initially sides with Fu but instantly changes her mind when Chat justifies it by saying she's his friend, with a caption arrow noting that [[LoveMakesYouDumb "Love makes her stupid."]] Master Fu facepalms in frustration.
* Needing an ingredient for the aqua power-up formula, Marigold comes up with the idea to contribute [[SoUnfunnyItsFunny lame jokes]], with Chat Noir quickly adding his own. They successfully make Master Fu laugh, which brings a "tear of joy" to his eyes.
* When Scarlet Lady sees the powered-up Chat Noir and Marigold, she once again expresses annoyance about them keeping secrets from her and decides that if they aren't going to tell her everything, they should just fight the akuma without her. They tell her that they would actually do that if they could and [[ForceFeeding force feed]] the potion to her. In the caption, the author jokes, "Don't worry about the weird taste, I'm sure that's nothing."
* Kim doesn't recognize Syren as an akumatized Ondine until she references her failed confession, causing him to realize that ''he'' was the idiot she was telling him about.
* When the three superheroes show up in their aqua forms to confront Syren, Hawkmoth is shown ''jealously pouting'', complaining "Not fair."
* Kim's LoveEpiphany when Marigold checks on him is both sweet and hilarious. To quote the author, "Give him a break, each word had to hit individually."
-->'''Marigold:''' How are you holding up?\\
'''[[ComicallyMissingThePoint Kim]]:''' Ha! [[TheSmartGuy Max]] [[StealthInsult says I'm]] [[ObliviousToLove too dense]] [[InsultBackfire to let the]] '''''[[WesternAnimation/Frozen2013 cold]]''''' [[WesternAnimation/Frozen2013 bother me!]]\\

'''Kim:''' [[OhCrap Oh. Right.]] [[LoveEpiphany Ondine is in love with me.]] '''''[[DelayedReaction Wow.]]'''''
* Once Kim has calmed down and offered Ondine his sweatshirt so she won't be cold (remember, it's February, and dried off by the Miraculous Cure or not, [[SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome Ondine's swimsuit is not suited for regular winter weather]]), Chat mischievously points out that he and Marigold can get them back to the pool faster than if Kim just carries Ondine himself. Kim IMMEDIATELY declines, [[BridalCarry hugging Ondine and planning on carrying the blushing girl]] the whole way, [[CrazyJealousGuy not wanting to share the responsibility]].
* When Scarlet Lady demands to know where the potion came from, Chat Noir and Marigold are depicted with little halos above their heads and innocent-looking faces. Then Chat Noir tells her it's none of her business--and warns her to leave before she loses the '''only''' secret she has (her SecretIdentity).
* Fu [[WhatTheHellHero finishes dressing down Chat Noir]] for bringing Marigold to him and punishes Chat by making him bring down and reorganize the entirety of Fu's pantry of ingredients by himself. On the plus side, he agrees to train both Chat Noir and Marigold (just separately).
* Marigold [[ComicallyMissingThePoint misunderstands]] when Master Fu says they can put the power-up formulas into forms that will suit their Kwamis. [[ThisIsGonnaSuck "But that means I'll be eating chili peppers!"]] she thinks. Later, Marinette bravely tries to eat a purple-tinted pepper, but Pollen stops her, clarifying, "You don't have to eat those for me, my Queen!"
* Gabriel's dramatic declaration that he must track down the Guardian at all costs is undercut by his ImagineSpot of [[https://zoe-oneesama.tumblr.com/post/655272320605339648/eat-it-gabe-episode-24-part-16-first a sparkling, finned version of his villainous alter ego]] striking a pose in the background.

[[folder:Dark Cupid: Tales of Kim the Romantic]]
* Max derails Mme. Bustier's lesson about how kisses in fairytales break spells with ThePowerOfLove by pointing out that the majority of those kisses aren't consensual, complete with giving their teacher some glorious side-eye over the subject matter. Bustier [[ChangeTheUncomfortableSubject nervously deflects]] rather than getting into any of the conversations ''THAT'' could spark.
* In a bit of a MoodWhiplash, Kagami's silent, smiling support of Ondine potentially getting a RelationshipUpgrade with Kim is followed by the casual thought of [[IfYouEverDoAnythingToHurtHer "If he hurts her, I'll maim him."]]
* When Marinette and Alya see the gift Kim is planning to give someone, Alya excitedly guesses it's for Ondine while Marinette says, darkly, "It had ''better'' be Ondine."
* Chloé snatches the poem Adrien was working on right off his desk, then [[ComicallyMissingThePoint cluelessly informs him that he got his description of her wrong]]. When he tells her it isn't for her, she demands to know whom it's for. Adrien's too embarrassed to admit the poem is for Marinette, so he claims it's for [[DramaticIrony Marigold]], to the shock of everyone, including his crush.
** Adrien {{lampshades}} how everyone, including Marinette, now thinks he's in love with the Bee heroine. He then admits it could've been worse; he might've said it was [[NominalHero Scarlet]] [[AlphaBitch Lady]].
** The poem he was working on was intended for Marinette, and he'd planned on giving it to her... as Chat Noir. [[DramaticIrony It's as though he was trying to create a]] TwoPersonLoveTriangle
** Marinette is embarrassed about Adrien's (apparent) crush on her superhero identity but notes it's flattering and brave to put himself out there. Pollen is just echoing her words in response all the while, almost like a YesMan. In contrast, Alya is outside the bathroom and seemingly hears her best friend talking to herself, [[ComicallyMissingThePoint saying Marinette has a funny way of handling "bad news."]]
** Alya's utter ''bafflement'' that Nino, unlike her, has NOT made it a priority to pry into his bestie's love life and know all about his crushes.
* Chloé's response to Adrien writing a love poem for someone else is [[IRejectYourReality to make a valentine for herself on his behalf]]. Tikki straight up tells her she's pathetic.
* Despite being part of Adrien's fan club, [[EveryoneHasStandards Aurore finds Mireille hugging a poster of Adrien taped to a pillar to be a bit much]]. Mireille just shushes her, though.
* Chloé brags to the girls ogling a poster of Adrien that she has one with his signature on it. To her chagrin, they immediately note that it's not his handwriting and deduce she forged it.
-->'''Suhayla:''' Hey, that's not Adrien's handwriting!\\
'''Aurore:''' We're his fanclub, who're you trying to fool?\\
'''Unknown Fangirl:''' Lying about that, that's so pathetic!\\
'''Chloé:''' ''[clutching her poster]'' '''''How dare you?!'''''
* Alya trying to help Marinette confess her feelings to her crush. Thing is [[OneDialogueTwoConversations Marinette is talking about Chat Noir while Alya assumes it's Adrien]]. With the both of them eventually realizing they're talking about two different people (who, ironically, are the same person).
* One of the couples Dark Cupid ends up attacking is Rose and Juleka, shooting the former. [[HairOfGoldHeartOfGold Rose]] being [[AllLovingHero Rose]], her hate-filled insults [[PokeThePoodle aren't really that effective]].
-->'''Rose:''' I hate how tall and gorgeous you are! Makes me sick!\\
'''Juleka:''' [[InsultBackfire Am I supposed to be insulted?]]
* When Dark Cupid makes Alya insult Marinette, the latter says she'll ignore the insult because Alya looks good in black lipstick.
* Both Chat Noir and Marigold both find Chloé's framed perfume ad poster of Adrien scary, viewing it as a StalkerShrine of sorts. The author also points out how creepy it is:
-->'''Tags:''' #chloe over here getting a perfume ad poster of adrien framed and hung in her bathroom and you call marinette the crazy one
* Imagining that Dark Cupid is jealous of her [[BelievingTheirOwnLies "signed" Adrien poster]], Chloé [[SkewedPriorities pushes Marigold toward the akuma to protect it]], causing Marigold to be hit by a hate arrow. In the end notes, the author jokes, "Ooh yay! Now you get to match Alya!" (referring to the "black lipstick" effect from the previous issue).
** Darkened Marigold [[PokeThePoodle smashes Chloé's poster with her top]] while attempting to attack Chat Noir, asking her partner, "How do you like '''that'''?" He [[AttackBackfire just smiles]] and says, [[InsultBackfire "I like that very much, thanks,"]] causing Marigold to swear at him.
** Seeing the utterly devastated Chloé in the background [[{{Wangst}} mourning]] her treasured poster ([[BelievingTheirOwnLies seemingly having convinced herself that it really had been signed by Adrien despite the bottom portion with the forged signature having already been torn off]]) makes it even better.
* Marigold challenges Chat to a fight. When he refuses, she scoffs, "Ugh, your kindness and friendliness is insufferable." Chat {{lampshades}} the InsultBackfire: "Wow, you're really bad at being mean. Thank you?" The author compares her to Rose (who "insulted" Juleka by calling her tall and gorgeous).
* Escaping from the hate-filled Marigold, Chloé runs into a potted plant display and faceplants on the ground, covered in dirt. Lila and Sabrina laugh and take pictures, and Sabrina plans to show the pictures to Alix. Chloé complains and wonders if they were hit by the akuma. [[NotBrainwashed "What akuma?"]] they say in unison. They both hate her without any need for an arrow from Dark Cupid, who rolls over in the air laughing.
* Chat Noir is about to take on Marigold and Dark Cupid together. He remains confident he can take them despite being two on one. Then [[TheMillstone Scarlet Lady]] arrives...
-->'''Scarlet Lady:''' I've arrived, sidekick!\\
'''Chat Noir:''' [[ThisIsGonnaSuck Well, there goes my odds.]]
** It gets even funnier when [[SubvertedTrope he's proven wrong]]: Scarlet Lady is so pissed about the day's constant HumiliationConga that she actually ''wants'' to fight Dark Cupid herself and attacks by simply throwing the Lucky Charm (a candy heart) at him. Even Chat Noir's surprised at her gusto.
** After stunning Dark Cupid, Scarlet Lady (rather foolishly) [[note]] luckily for her, Chat Noir's too busy to notice what she said, or else he'd have put two and two together [[/note]] rants about how her day's been going while Chat Noir is still fighting a brainwashed Marigold in the background.
-->'''Chat Noir:''' Scar, I'm glad you're actually pulling your weight for once. But now is '''''not the time!'''''
* The ForcedKiss Chat Noir uses to break the hate spell on Marigold turns into TheBigDamnKiss between them, leading one to suspect that Marigold came to her senses rather quickly and took advantage of the opportunity (though later chapters show this is not the case--like Chat Noir in canon, she doesn't remember anything once the kiss is over). Meanwhile, Scarlet Lady and Dark Cupid are just watching the display with deadpan expressions.
-->'''Scarlet Lady:''' [[GetARoom Do we need to come back at another time?]]\\
'''Marigold:''' Ah! What--? Where?
* Chat Noir [[FastballSpecial throws the confused Marigold at Dark Cupid]]. This uses up her Venom, paralyzing the villain so she can grab his broach.
-->'''Chat Noir:''' Good job, Goldie!\\
'''Marigold:''' ''[with a SweatDrop]'' Yaaaay?
* Chat finds himself in an awkward situation when he realizes Marigold doesn't remember anything after getting shot by Dark Cupid at the hotel. He can't explain in front of Scar, who puts things crudely. So he does a PrivacyByDistraction and pushes them both away because their Miraculous are beeping.
* Adrien [[SeamlessSpontaneousLie explains his valentine to Marigold as not from a crush but from an appreciation of her as a hero of Paris]]. [[ItsAllAboutMe His male vanity is then hurt]] when Marigold is relieved to hear that, even though they barely know each other (except in their other identities).
* Marigold explains to Adrien that she's glad about the above because there is already someone else in her heart and she didn't want to have to let him down. Adrien replies that he does, too, and [[TwoPersonLoveTriangle both of them silently wonder who the other person is in each other's case]].
-->'''Narration:''' [[ObliviousToLove Idiots.]]
* Adrien gets a WrittenSoundEffect of "Doki Doki" for his heart pounding after a friendly kiss from Marigold. He scolds himself with the literal words, saying [[DramaticIrony "No 'doki doki'! You're in love with Marinette!"]]

[[folder:Intermission: Tales of Marinette the Bee]]
* Rose compliments Marinette on inviting Chloé to her sleepover. Marinette responds that it was nicer of Chloé to rip up the invitation so that they don't actually have to endure her presence.
* Alya is ''[[ThisIsGonnaSuck not]]'' happy that Marinette invited Lila as well, something that Lila rather smugly rubs into her classmate's face.
* The guys decide to take Adrien to an arcade... and win all the Marigold merch they can for him, wrongly thinking he has a crush on the superheroine.
* Kagami starts panicking when Ondine insists on introducing her to Adrien's friends.
* Adrien reassures Kim that he and Kagami are JustFriends. Kagami takes offense:
-->'''Kagami:''' ''[clutching his hands, wide-eyed]'' I thought we were '''''good''''' friends!\\
'''Adrien:''' ''[sparkling dramatically]'' You're absolutely right, I'm so sorry.\\
'''Nino:''' You guys are '''''definitely''''' giving the wrong impression.
* Adrien finally tells his friends that he doesn't have a crush on Marigold. His friends immediately realize that [[EveryoneCanSeeIt the poem was meant for Marinette]]. Meanwhile, Kim is more concerned about what they're supposed to do with all the Marigold swag they've been getting for him.
* When Adrien gets in the car to leave, he gives [[ClosetGeek The Gorilla]] a Marigold figurine from the pile of Marigold merch his friends won him.
* Gabriel states why he allowed Adrien to go out with his friends:
-->'''Gabriel:''' Bah, who knows what my son would do to retaliate if I denied him. [[FelonyMisdemeanor He might wear]] ''[[FelonyMisdemeanor crocs]]''.
* Gabriel is quietly appalled that ''his own son'' is a Marigold fan. Nathalie points out that it's better that he admire ''her'' rather than the incompetent Scarlet Lady, which he takes offense to.
-->'''Gabriel:''' [[IRejectYourReality Scarlet Lady is NOT incompetent! She's the slipperiest of the whole group!]]\\
'''Nathalie:''' Ah. Of course, sir. ''[thinking] [[FirstPersonSmartass Because if she was an idiot, you'd be the guy]] '''[[FirstPersonSmartass losing]]''' [[FirstPersonSmartass to that idiot.]]''
* Pollen, realizing how much she's being pampered, wonders with a confused expression, "Am ''I'' the Queen?"
* When Rose talks about how she and Juleka got together, it turns out that the latter was ''extremely'' ObliviousToLove, to the point where she wasn't sure if Rose kissing her on the lips was as a friend or not.
* When Luka delivers a pizza to the girls' sleepover, Lila asks about his age compared to Juleka's, but all he'll say is he's older, much to her confuision (and frustation).
* Luka and Marinette start to stare at each other, which prompts his sister to throw a pillow at his face and say it's [[GetOut "time for dumb boys to get out."]]
* Alix reveals that Lila and Sabrina are [[HiddenDepths sportier than they look]], showing off a photo of a wild-eyed Sabrina working off some rage at the skating rink while Lila cheers her on like an ObsessiveSportsFan.
* Lila's response when Alya defends Scarlet Lady's work with expensive brands:
-->'''Alya:''' Well, she has an important job! She deserves royalties, right?\\
'''Lila:''' Ha! Royalties for '''''what''''', sitting on her butt while being a glory hound?
* When Alya tries to defend Scarlet Lady to Lila, she looks to Marinette for support... only for Marinette to bluntly state that Scarlet Lady is the worst, much to Alya's dismay, while Lila sticks her tongue out and Alix laughs. In the next panel, [[FunnyBackgroundEvent Alya is pulling at Marinette's cheeks]].

[[folder:Animan: Tales of Otis the Zookeeper]]
* Just like in "Kung Food," [[HurricaneOfPuns all the chapter titles have puns]], this time animal-themed: "Stay Pawsitive," "You Goat This," "Ready To Flamingle," "So Hippo-critical!," "You Are Unkoalafied!," "Toucan Play At That," "Oh Deer," "Unbearable," "Hogs And Kisses," "Giraffing Me Crazy," "Why You Always Lion," and "That's Just Cheetahing!"
* Adrien asks Nino why he's ogling Marinette so much. Nino says he has a huge crush on her, which causes Adrien to pull a comical IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy, biting down so hard [[BloodFromTheMouth his mouth starts to bleed]]. Nino quickly reassures his best friend that he was just teasing and is actually trying to set Adrien up with Marinette.
* Adrien doesn't think he has enough time or energy to ask Marinette out because of his job (more as Chat Noir than as a model). He lets Nino persuade him to try.
-->'''Adrien:''' ''[with stars in his eyes]'' Can... can I really? Is it possible? Am I allowed?\\
'''Nino:''' Bro, it's just a date.
* The role reversal of Adrien overthinking how he wants to approach the zoo trip with Marinette. It's adorably awkward and [[FridgeBrilliance makes complete sense]] when one remembers [[FriendlessBackground Adrien]]'s [[NoSocialSkills life before now]]. Luckily, [[NiceGuy Nino]]'s [[OnlySaneMan there to keep Adrien grounded]].
* Chloé complains to Tikki about having to go the smelly zoo in disguise to mess up Adrien's date with Marinette:
-->'''Chloé:''' The sacrifices I make for love.\\
'''Tikki:''' You don't have to -\\
'''Chloé:''' '''''[[IRejectYourReality Sacrifices!]]'''''
* In a role reversal, Alya is blushing about going on a real date with Nino, and Marinette is teasing her gleefully. Later, Alya tries to warn Marinette not to do anything weird... with mixed results.
-->'''Marinette:''' Whaaat? We're just having a nice, no-pressure day out with the guys! ''[thinking with a SlasherSmile] And if me and Adrien accidentally leave you two alone halfway through, that's just a '''coincidence'''.''\\
'''Alya:''' You have a terrible poker face.
* Chloé is spying from afar and decides that she needs to get closer. [[DeadpanSnarker Tikki instead suggests she can hide in the bushes... where she can sit in]] ''[[DeadpanSnarker shame]]''.
* Chloé's "brilliant, original" idea for sneaking closer: [[NewspaperThinDisguise hiding behind a large newspaper with eyeholes cut out]] while sitting at a table. Meanwhile, someone (seemingly Master Fu) sitting right next to her [[InstantlyProvenWrong is using the same exact tactic]].
* Otis threatens to have Marinette [[DisproportionateRetribution banned from the zoo]] after [[StatingTheSimpleSolution she suggests he feed his panther at the back of the enclosure, away from the eyes of the public]]. Alya's reply? [[AmazinglyEmbarrassingParents "Dad. No."]]
* [[EvenEvilHasStandards Even Hawkmoth is surprised at the pettiness]] of Animan's reason for revenge:
-->'''Hawkmoth:''' Animan, I'm giving you the power to get revenge.\\
'''Animan:''' Excellent! How dare those kids disrespect my panther, thinking they can outrun her!\\
'''Hawkmoth:''' [[YouHaveGotToBeKiddingMe ...Really?]]
* When Chloé crashes the group, Adrien tries to be as politely blunt as possible about how he knows that she wasn't at the zoo by "coincidence" like she claims. Chloé [[DramaticallyMissingThePoint completely misses]] (or chooses to ignore) this, declaring she found him because of their "deep connection."
* When the animals are let loose by Animan immediately after Chloé interrupts the date, the captions describe her as being "Like a heat seeking missile of awful."
* For once, both Adrien and Marinette are angry at the akuma for personal reasons (ruining their respective plans) while Chloé's happy the akuma has officially ruined the pair's "date."
* While Chat Noir and Scarlet Lady hold off the animals, [[ShipperOnDeck Marigold]] sees an opening and throws Nino and Alya into the panther's empty cage and cheekily tells them to stay safe with a little heart floating above her.
** Alya has a FreakOut because she can't get footage for her ''Ladyblog''.
** When Nino gives Alya his headphones and tells her to breath... Alya replies that she can't hear him.
* Scar, Chat, and Marigold see Animan attempting to eat Kim. The heroes, [[EvenEvilHasStandards including Scar]], are for once united in silent disbelief that the villain is that angry about Kim's boasting.
* After Animan runs to find Kim, Chat Noir tells the others that he's tagged Kim to find him. Marigold rewards him with tickling that makes him purr while Scar makes a disgusted face.
* They find Kim at the Dupain-Cheng bakery, where Marigold almost blows her cover, but the best comes right below:
-->'''Sabine:''' Oh, but you're-!\\
'''Scarlet Lady:''' Ohoho! Yes, it is I, your hero-\\
'''Sabine:''' [[BaitAndSwitch Marigold!]]
'''Chat Noir:''' ''[struggling not to laugh]'' Pft!\\
'''Sabine:''' It's so nice to meet you!\\
'''Marigold:''' A-ah, thanks!
'''Scarlet Lady:''' ''[furious she's being ignored] '''Grr!'''''\\
* When Chat is on top of T-Rex Animan, he yells for someone to get his legs. Scarlet Lady says, "Don't tell me what to do!" and uselessly bounces her yo-yo off the creature. Marigold lassos the legs with her top and then one-shots the dinosaur in the head with Venom.
* As [[TheBadGuyWins Chloé crows to herself about doing a good job of ruining Adrien's date with Marinette]] ([[MeaninglessVillainVictory nevermind it would've been ruined either way by the akuma]]), Tikki decides to [[TheGadfly throw out her hairspray]] the moment she falls asleep.
* When Adrien and Marinette see Alya and Nino holding hands, they simultaneously sparkle while pointing at said hands and saying, "Ooooh!"
-->'''Alya:''' Told you they'd make it weird.
** Then when Adrien asks how it happened, one of them (presumably Alya) relates how Marigold locked them up together--all while [[ShipperOnDeck Marinette]] giggles.
** The ending:
--->'''Nino:''' Turns out we have a lot in common: an interest in video editing...\\
'''Alya:''' Really young siblings...\\
'''Alya and Nino:''' [[WhatTheHellHero Best friends that ditch them.]]\\
'''Adrien & Marinette:''' [[OhCrap Eheheh!]]
* Adrien takes Nino aside.
-->'''Adrien:''' Hey man, congrats!\\
'''Nino:''' Thanks, dude!\\
'''Adrien:''' ''[with a NightmareFace]'' Pretty amazing '''''you''''' got a girlfriend when you're supposed to be wingmanning for '''''me.'''''\\
'''Nino:''' '''''[[OhCrap M-my bad.]]'''''
* Alya has a conversation with Marinette about the latter's actions at the zoo:
-->'''Alya:''' Girl, I told you not to be weird, but you '''''totally''''' tried to dip on purpose.\\
'''Marinette:''' Whaaat? I just wanted to see the elephants!\\
'''Alya:''' [[SpottingTheThread It was giraffes.]]
* Otis is apologetic to Alya for getting akumatized and ruining her day at the zoo, but he finds he is EasilyForgiven. She kisses his cheek and walks off humming because she got a boyfriend out of it.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Puppeteer: Tales of Manon the Doll Master]]
* Marinette is taking care of Manon, and they are playing with the Miraculous dolls the former made. After Manon picks Marigold and Chat Noir as the heroes, Marinette points out that she never picks Scarlet Lady--and Manon shows that [[StylisticSuck the Scarlet Lady doll is little more than a painted paper bag with a ponytail glued to it]].
-->'''Manon:''' But her doll is so lame.\\
'''Marinette:''' ''[thinking with an evil grin] Just like the real thing!''
* Marinette can't explain to Manon why Hawkmoth wants the Miraculous and just says, [[XMustNotWin "Uh, because then the bad guys... would win!"]] Manon doesn't see what is so bad about that and demands the Miraculous so her side can win. Marinette thinks, "You're a little too gung-ho about it!"
* When Nadja returns to get Manon back:
-->'''Nadja:''' Have you been good, Manon?\\
'''Manon:''' Mommy, Marinette didn't let me win!\\
'''Marinette:''' ''[thinking] Snitch!''
* Manon asks if she can keep the Marigold doll (which she accidentally ripped earlier), but Marinette tells her she has to fix the doll. When Manon pulls out the PuppyDogEyes, though, Marinette relents to letting her have the Lady Wifi doll. As Manon leaves, Pollen just looks at Marinette while the latter lets out a DefensiveWhat.
-->'''Caption:''' Now I know your weakness, My Queen.
* When Chloé starts bragging about how hilarious it'll be to see her classmates work at the hotel, Tikki punctures her ego by smugly telling her she has to go buy more Dupain-Cheng cookies.
* The bonus panel where Manon gets akumatized:
-->'''Hawkmoth:''' Puppeteer, I am Hawkmoth.\\
'''Manon:''' Oo, then, you're giving me powers?\\
'''Hawkmoth:''' Why, yes!\\
'''Manon:''' And I just gotta get you the Miraculouses?\\
'''Hawkmoth:''' [[KidHasAPoint Exactly!]] Geez, [[SimpleMindedWisdom why can't all my akumas be this informed]]?
* Adrien's ClarkKenting is [[SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome immediately seen through]] by Marinette and Alya, who innocently make teasing, flirty winks at him ([[ShipTease much to his embarrassment]]). He at first mistook them for [[LoonyFan his more rabid fans]], but Alya insists that they're only his "''best'' fans."
* Puppeteer and Hawkmoth's back and forth pretty much sounds like a little girl and her ImaginaryFriend that she thinks everyone else can hear:
-->'''Puppeteer:''' Mommy took my doll, so it's probably in the studio.\\
'''Hawkmoth:''' Excellent deduction, Puppeteer.\\
'''Puppeteer:''' Shh, M. Hawkmoth, Mommy can't catch us.\\
'''Hawkmoth:''' And why is that?\\
'''Puppeteer:''' [[ComicallyMissingThePoint Cuz Mommy will get mad and I'll get in trouble!]]\\
'''Hawkmoth:''' You know you're an '''''akuma''''', right?
** The author's notes continue it with Manon's obvious retort: "Yeah, and she's still [[AlmightyMom MOM]]! (It's not worth it!)"
* Puppeteer continues her temper tantrum over wanting the dolls through Lady Wifi. Once Marinette figures out it's Manon is the one akumatized, what does she do? [[DontTellMama Threaten to tell Nadja.]] While she does this, [[FailedASpotCheck she fails to notice Adrien sneaking off to turn into Chat Noir]].
* Puppeteer sends Lady Wifi to Marinette's room to get the other dolls, which Chloé and Tikki both witness. Unlike usual, Chloé doesn't need much encouragement to leap into action ([[DramaticallyMissingThePoint she thinks that Lady Wifi is trying to prove Marinette is Scarlet Lady again]], which is one of Chloé's {{Berserk Button}}s)... though she still insists on finding the right spot to transform first.
-->'''Chloé:''' You don't expect me to hide behind trees or go into a dirty subway, do you?!
* Chat Noir follows Puppeteer into Marinette's room. While Pollen encourages Marinette to transform, Marinette freaks out because Chat Noir is going into her room--and the caption implies she's got something similar to her canon collage of Adrien photos there, which is later comfirmed in "Troublemaker."
* Scar enters Marinette's room to fight the Puppeteer-controlled Lady Wifi and then notices the Scarlet Lady "doll":
-->'''Scarlet Lady:''' What is '''''this?!''''' Is this supposed to be '''''me?!'''''\\
'''Chat Noir:''' It's a spitting image.
* Puppeteer's reaction to Scar ripping the Scarlet Lady "doll":
-->'''Puppeteer:''' No faaaair! That's cheating! Gimme your Miraculouses you bunch of super evil goodie two shoeses!
* After Chat Noir recovers his doll, Lady Wifi leaves... and Puppeteer makes her cry and say she'll be telling on the heroes.
* The mentioned names of the dolls are Chaton Noir for Chat Noir, Minigold for Marigold, and Small Lady for Scarlet Lady.
* Since Marigold has to stay out of the fight due to Manon having her doll (requiring her to detransform to avoid getting mind-controlled), Adrien tells her not to worry because he can bring in a substitute. Who does he choose? [[DramaticIrony Marinette]].
** ''How'' he appears is also hilarious. Marinette is wondering whom Chat Noir will pick as substitute. Cue him jumping onto her balcony, scaring the crap out of her.
** In the meantime, Pollen is giving a [[GreenEyedMonster jealous glare]] while hiding in a rose shrub.
* Puppeteer is having much less fun than in canon. When she tries to bring her Marigold doll to life, it just slumps over. She throws her arms around Lady Wifi's waist, crying, "Waaah! It didn't work, meanies, meanies!"
** Likewise, when Marinette shows up as Multimouse along with Scar and Chat Noir. Puppeteer doesn't take this well:
--->'''Puppeteer:''' WHAAA! NO FAIR YOU DON'T '''''HAVE''''' A DOLL! '''''HAWKMOTH!''''' THEY WON'T LET ME WIN!\\
'''Hawkmoth:''' ''[telepathically and awkwardly]'' [[PetTheDog There, there.]]
** All the while, Scar, Multimouse, Rogercop, and Evillustrator just stand there, not really sure how to react to all that.
* There are some WritingAroundTrademarks jokes as Marinette talks about her Mouse hero name. Chat suggests "Minimouse," only for Marinette to reply that she's pretty sure that's trademarked. Later, she calls herself the "Mighty Multimouse," to which Chat Noir remarks, "Pretty sure that's also trademarked."
* Scarlet Lady finally activates her Lucky Charm when Puppeteer calls her and the other heroes "super evil not pretty goodie two shoeses."
-->'''Scarlet Lady:''' I'll show '''''you''''' who's "not pretty," '''''brat'''''!\\
'''Caption:''' Scarlet Lady finally met someone who [[WomanChild matches her in emotional maturity.]]
* Chat Noir is [[AmazonChaser smitten by Marinette]] using Scar's Lucky charm to deflect projectiles heading her way as he's fending off Lady Wifi.
* As the Multimice are grabbing the dolls, the captions reveal that "the controlled akumas are just flopping on the ground."
* Marinette defeats Puppeteer by having one of her smaller clones simply bite the akuma's hand to make Puppeteer let go of her wand.
* Once Puppeteer's defeated, Marinette "accidentally" takes off the Mouse Miraculous and feigns disappointment she can't be a superhero anymore since people know her identity. Mullo smiles cheekily at the whole act while Chat Noir just pouts as tears stream down his face.
* Manon pinkie promises not to tell anyone about Marinette formerly being Multimouse and gets the others to do the same, much to Marinette's embarrassment. Scar, to her annoyance, is also included among the group.
-->'''Caption:''' [[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic You don't say no to a PINKIE PROMISE!]]
* Alya asks Marinette for an interview. Marinette agrees as long as it's solely about Puppeteer and Multimouse showing up, not her ''being'' Multimouse.
* There's lots of Kwami jealousy. Pollen is jealous of Mullo ([[{{Troll}} not helped by the face Mullo makes to Pollen]] after Mullo compliments Marinette on her use of the Kwami's power and Marinette hugging Mullo in response) and tries to give Marinette the cold shoulder when the latter returns. Marinette angers Pollen even more when she teases the Kwami about being jealous, though she's quickly forgiven when she reassures Pollen that she will always be her favorite Kwami. Meanwhile, Tikki sobs when she learns that her chosen has been granted ''[[RuleOfThree three]]'' different Kwamis (Plagg, Pollen, and Mullo) now while she is still stuck with [[AlphaBitch Chloé]]. The author captions it "Kwami Soap Opera."
* Marinette apologizes to Nadja for lending Manon a doll after Nadja said no. Nadja reassures the teen that she'll be immune to Manon's PuppyDogEyes eventually. Marinette is then put to the test the next day when she offers to let Manon help her make a secret custom doll of Multimouse. Manon [[HereWeGoAgain uses her eyes again]] to try to get permission to take the doll to the zoo ([[ComicallyMissingThePoint thus defeating the whole point of it being a secret]]), and Marinette will have to refuse or risk her family's safety. In the tags, the author laments, "#you learned nothing manon!"
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Pixelator: Tales of Vincent the Super Fan]]
* Adrien learns that Chloé has assigned him to work at the front desk of the hotel with her. He asks Alya to trade jobs with him, and she turns him down with a finger-gun gesture, [[TemptingFate declaring, "Not on your life."]] A few seconds later, she finds out that Chloé assigned her garbage-sorting duty at the dumpster. She asks Adrien for a trade, only for him to turn her down with [[IronicEcho the exact gesture and words she used on him]].
-->'''Tags:''' #the face of instant regret
* Jagged Stone checks in to Chloé's father's hotel--and neither he nor Mayor Bourgeois remembers the other:
-->'''Chloé:''' Daddy, that's Jagged Stone, '''''remember'''''?\\
'''André Bourgeois:''' Honey, I only remember the important people.\\
'''Chloé:''' [[PopCulturalOsmosisFailure He's an internationally beloved rock star!]]\\
'''Jagged Stone:''' Penny, who is this idiot?\\
'''Penny Rolling:''' The '''''mayor?''''' '''''Bob's''''' friend? You judged a '''''cooking show together'''''?\\
'''Jagged Stone:''' Bob's friend? [[RepressedMemories No wonder I erased him from my memory.]]
* Mayor Bourgeois makes a cavalcade of mistakes as he tries to schmooze with Jagged, forcing Adrien to play damage control:
-->'''Jagged Stone:''' I need a room with a '''''real''''' tub for Fang!\\
'''André Bourgeois:''' We have all Mme. Fang needs! Even a top of the line fitness center.\\
'''Adrien:''' M. Bourgeois, Fang is his '''''crocodile.'''''\\
'''Jagged Stone:''' Exactly!\\
'''André Bourgeois:''' Ah, I-I see! M. Stone, could I offer your... er, Fang... a nice bubble bath?\\
'''Adrien:''' [[KidHasAPoint Sir, reptiles absorb water through their skin, you can't use soaps!]]\\
'''Jagged Stone:''' Can this '''''kid''''' check me in instead of you?\\
'''Caption:''' He seems more knowledgeable than you!
* Pixelator proclaims that Jagged Stone will be his and his alone, which creeps out Hawkmoth:
-->'''Hawkmoth:''' Um, sure. ''[aside]'' And people wonder why I kept my son home for so long.\\
'''Tags:''' #maybe instead of judging everyone you should just [=NOT=] akumatize literal criminals.
* Penny requests a special pair of shades for Jagged Stone's concert--and M. Bourgeois [[GotVolunteered volunteers]] Marinette, their "chasseur." Penny {{sweatdrop}}s while wondering if everyone working at the hotel is a teenager as Marinette gives an OhCrapSmile.
* Marinette's description of her work for Jagged, as well as Pollen's response:
-->'''Marinette:''' Time to make some tacky glasses for a tacky man!\\
'''Pollen:''' [[YesMan Yay, tacky!]]\\
'''Caption:''' Tacky isn't an insult here, it's just a fact.
* Chloé reveals that she had her father name Marinette as the hotel's "chasseur" for a reason:
-->'''Adrien:''' Why '''''did''''' you give her that job?\\
'''Chloé:''' To get her out of the hotel, of course! So she can't ruin our alone time.\\
'''Adrien:''' [[FlatWhat Huh?]]\\
'''Chloé:''' ''[attempts to kiss Adrien, who tries to push her away--[[MeaningfulBackgroundEvent while Kim and the doorman get zapped by Pixelator behind them]]]''\\
'''Adrien:''' We're just doing our jobs, Chloé! Or at least I am!\\
'''Caption:''' I feel like you two are missing something ''kinda important in the background there!''
* Chloé is so dumb that she doesn't realize Pixelator is an akuma. When Pixelator zaps her, Adrien attempts to tackle her out of the way, [[NoGoodDeedGoesUnpunished only to get zapped as well]]. They both get stuck in a void... and Adrien mentally begs for Marigold to hurry up and rescue them because Chloé is taking advantage of it to cuddle with him.
** Meanwhile, Marinette has just left Jagged Stone's room, only for Pixelator to show up and zap Penny, leaving Marinette ''and Pollen'' with an epic-level sweating OhCrap face.
* Jagged attempts to set Fang on Pixelator. Fang just rolls over as Jagged just {{sweatdrop}}s.
* Pixelator makes a bad pun as he zaps Fang. Marigold's got something to say about it:
-->'''Pixelator:''' [[IncrediblyLamePun See you later, alligator!]]\\
'''Jagged Stone:''' Fang, no!\\
'''Marigold:''' He's a crocodile, you '''''fake fan!'''''\\
'''Pixelator:''' '''''"Fake?!"'''''
* Marigold gets hit in the hand by Pixelator and begins screaming as she kicks Jagged's luggage at the akuma and swings the rock star outside the window. Jagged makes a lame "Ahhh?" in reply.
-->'''Caption:''' When your panic brain takes over and you do everything in autopilot to get the hell out (crossed out) ''even though you could've grabbed the akuma when you knocked a whole bunch of luggage on top of them.''
* In the first bonus panel, Marigold takes Jagged to the first place she could think: Collège François Dupont.
-->'''M. Damocles:''' Is this really the safest place for M. Stone?\\
'''Jagged Stone:''' ''[muttering]'' Lame.\\
'''Marigold:''' It's the [[FreudianSlip lamest]] place I could think of to hide him.\\
'''M. Damocles:''' ''[CrossPoppingVeins]'' Hmm?\\
'''Marigold:''' [[OhCrap Uh I mean!]] Uhhh, I'm gonna go check this guy's place, stay safe!
* Hawkmoth and Pixelator discuss the need to bring out the heroes (not knowing that the latter's already captured Scarlet Lady and Chat Noir).
-->'''Caption:''' They’re having a contest on ''who can be the most creepy''.
* An imprisoned Chloé tries to make demands of Marigold, who decides to ignore her in favor of asking two of Pixelator's other victims how they were caught (while Adrien is begging to be saved).
-->'''Chloé:''' She '''''ignored''''' me?!
* When Mireille and Théo say they were walking down the Champs-Élyées (sic) and Pixelator took a picture of them, [[SkewedPriorities Marigold asks what they were doing]] [[SkippingSchool "on the Champs-Élyées on a school day."]]
* When Nadja shows up to interview Pixelator, a banner appears on the television reading [[HereWeGoAgain "Yep we're doing this again."]]
* Pixelator challenges Jagged Stone to come out if he doesn't want him to zap all of Paris. Jagged Stone [[HeroicSacrifice declares he must go]]--because [[SkewedPriorities his ratings will be amazing]]. M. Damocles is not impressed.
* Marigold shows up, with people cheering on her... until someone asks where Scarlet Lady is, which prompts everyone to ask for her.
-->'''Marigold:''' ''[angry]'' It's a mystery to me as well.
* When Chat Noir is about to sneak up on Pixelator and destroy his akumatized visor, [[NiceJobBreakingItHero Scarlet Lady]] [[WithCatlikeTread jumps up and shouts "Hurry up and grab the akuma, Alley Cat!"]]
* Jagged Stone shows up to let Pixelator take a photo of him... but wastes time by switching between multiple poses in different places, keeping the akuma distracted while Marigold and Scar save the day.
* Scarlet Lady demonstrates AccidentalAimingSkills when she throws the Lucky Charm compact at Pixelator at just at the right moment to reflect his capturing camera beam back at him. (To be fair, it was probably only the luck of the Lucky Charm that made the throw work even for Ladybug in canon.)
-->'''Marigold:''' Hey, I think your aim is getting better!\\
'''Scarlet Lady:''' I was aiming for his '''''head'''''.
* Penny begins to give tickets for the Jagged Stone concert to the teens that did the best during the internship, and Chloé is seen keeping her hand extended, clearly expecting one... only for Penny to explicitly skip Chloé and give the last ticket to Adrien. Chloé's irritated face is ''hilarious''.
* Adrien feels bad because he missed half the day due to Pixelator and tries to give it to someone else, but the rest of the class either already has plans or already bought their own tickets. Chloé tries to ask for it, but Adrien just shuts her up by covering her face with his hand.
* During the concert, we're given a reminder of Adrien and Luka's rivalry:
-->'''Marinette:''' Isn't this amazing, guys?!\\
'''Adrien and Luka:''' ''[blushing as they look at Marinette]'' [[SpeakInUnison Yeah... amazing.]]\\
'''Adrien:''' ''[jealously glares at Luka]''\\
'''Luka:''' ''[gives a slightly strained grin to Adrien]''

-->'''Caption:''' I'm just happy she's getting recognition? Heheh?

[[folder:Guitar Villain: Tales of Jagged Stone the Rock Star]]
* Bob Roth tells Jagged Stone (who is still wearing the Eiffel Tower glasses Marinette made) that he wants him to have a duet with XY. Bob's response when Penny points out that Jagged's style is wildly different from XY's?
-->'''Bob Roth:''' Oh, it'll be fine after you ''[[DramaticallyMissingThePoint modernize your music, find a new style and change everything about yourself]]''.\\
'''Jagged Stone:''' '''''[[SymbolSwearing F@$#]] off.'''''
* When Penny states that she and Jagged want to commission Marinette to make Jagged's cover art, Bob Roth is aghast. A growl from Fang makes him change his opinion.
* After learning that [[AbhorrentAdmirer Chloé]] wants to invite him to something, Adrien actually ''asks'' to practice his Chinese instead. Unfortunately, Gabriel already accepted for him.
-->'''Adrien:''' ''[thinking] Dammit père.''
* After Bob Roth commissions Marinette to make an incredibly drab cover design, she laments that this isn't her or Jagged's style at all. She mentions to Pollen that sometimes her parents make a sample of a bad request to show the customer why it's bad, but this doesn't always work.
-->'''Marinette:''' Sometimes it makes them like it ''[[SpringtimeForHitler more!]]''
* When Luka delivers Chloé's pizza, he avoids having to greet her face to face by handing it off to the front desk instead. He then runs into Marinette, learns she's going to meet with Jagged Stone, and offers her a ride home afterwards. The moment she turns to leave, he scrambles to take off his pizza delivery shirt, thinking, "Gotta get out of this lame uniform, quick!" A bonus panel shows Marinette [[EatingTheEyeCandy sneaking a peek at him while he's changing]], with the caption reading, "''I don't have a caption for this because Photoshop crashed like FIFTEEN TIMES when I tried to draw it!''"
* Luka is waiting for Marinette to return... only for the elevator ping to reveal Chloé, who promptly sticks like a limpet to him while calling him "mon Chouka," much to his disgust. He then puts on an OhCrap face when he realizes [[AbhorrentAdmirer she]] has a crush on him just as Adrien appears and she calls him "Adrichou."
* XY's interview in which he insults Jagged turns out to be right outside the hotel, leading to Jagged throwing his tablet at the younger singer's head.
* When Marinette arrives in the hotel lobby, Adrien greets her with a smile while Luka [[QuietCryForHelp begs her to save him from Chloé]].
* As XY is being beaned in the head with a tablet, one of the men standing behind the singer nervously stare to the right and notices the butterfly.
* Seeing Guitar Villain, Marinette exclaims how he seemed fine just a minute ago.
* [[BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor Chloé screams for Luka and Adrien to get her out of the room]] where Guitar Villain is when the akuma starts attacking; they comply by [[ExactWords shoving her into the elevator]] while sporting matching nonchalant expressions.
* Marinette sends Adrien away to flag down Chat Noir and tells Luka she'll find Marigold so she can run off and transform. Unfortunately for her, Luka decides to help her by giving her a ride on his bike.
-->'''Luka:''' C'mon, we'll cover more ground on my bike!\\
'''Marinette:''' ''[thinking] Wait, '''[[DidntSeeThatComing that's not part of the plan!]]'''''
* Chat Noir tells both Luka and Marinette to get to safety, [[FailedASpotCheck not noticing]] Marinette's OverlyNervousFlopSweat. He then does some ObliviousGuiltSlinging when he notes that Marigold isn't picking up.
* Scarlet Lady saves Théo, and he thanks ''Chat Noir'' for it.
-->'''Caption:''' The one time Scarlet did something and [[DudeWheresMyRespect she didn't even get credit]] lol.
* Marinette rushes to transform as soon as Luka is gone.
-->'''Marinette:''' Pollen, omigod, Buzz On!\\
'''Pollen:''' Buzz On, yay!
* XY has trouble remembering whom Scarlet Lady is and refers to her as "the bug lady."
* Scarlet Lady is an XY fan and offers to take him to a "safe place," but she's useless when Guitar Villain carries him off.
-->'''Scarlet Lady:''' H-hurry up, sidekicks! XY is going to fall!\\
'''Chat Noir:''' D-did you forget the dragon guarding the tower?\\
'''Scarlet Lady:''' So deal with him too!\\
'''Chat Noir:''' And what does that leave for '''''you?'''''\\
'''Caption:''' ''[answering for Scar]'' "It leaves me to suck up to XY, ''obviously''."
* When Marigold arrives on Dragon!Fang, Chat Noir joins her near the head... while leaving Scar to hang onto the tail.
* Marigold gives XY a rough rescue by lassoing him with her top string, bouncing him on his bottom, and breaking the guitar on the gangplank as she pulls him to safety. The author notes, "XY's got a steel butt I guess."
* Scar tries to comfort XY, but he finds her to be an AbhorrentAdmirer.
-->'''Scarlet Lady:''' Oh, my poor XY! I'm so sorry for how my lackies treated you! I'll make it up to you, I promise!\\
'''XY:''' ''[looking between her and Jagged Stone]'' Huh? This dude's crazy! '''''You're''''' crazy! [[ScrewThisImOuttaHere I'm going home!]]\\
'''Scarlet Lady:''' Oh! [[ComicallyMissingThePoint I can take you down!]]\\
'''XY:''' I'm taking the elevator you freak!
* While Marigold freaks out about all the stuff she still has to do and having to figure out an excuse for Luka if he asks what she was doing, Chat asks the deakumatized Jagged for an autograph, which the rocker obliges.
* After Jagged gets Bob to reluctantly approve of Marinette's design by threatening to quit, [[CouldHaveAvoidedThisPlot she wonders why the rockstar didn't just do that in the first place]].
* When Chloé tries to {{Glomp}} Luka while complaining about her day, Luka just keeps her away with a hand to her face while snarking with Juleka.

'''Luka:''' Don't you f**king dare.

[[folder:Princess Fragrance: Tales of Rose the Princess]]
* The [[DepartmentOfRedundancyDepartment repetitiveness]] of the [[ShapedLikeItself title and subtitle together]] is quite amusing.
* The news report at the beginning is about how Scarlet Lady, Chat Noir, and Marigold defeated [[AuthorAvatar Zoe Rapporte as the Enchanted Florist]], who has apparently been akumatized enough times for it to be referred to as her "Nth" time.
** The news captions also say, "Top 10 therapists in Paris," and "Seriously there's other florists."
** Zoe angrily interrupts the broadcast:
--->'''Zoe:''' ''[FlippingTheBird]'' Well '''''maybe''''' if people were a little less [[CurseCutShort shi-]]\\
'''Offscreen voice:''' '''''Cut!'''''
* Marinette offers [[BlatantLies a preposterous excuse]] for being late to class. [[{{Hypocrite}} Chloé mocks her for it]], but the teacher isn't letting her false excuse pass either. (Both were actually fighting an akuma.)
-->'''Marinette:''' [[INeedToGoIronMyDog I, uh, had to bring my... dog! To the vet! He... ate all of my socks!]]\\
'''Chloé:''' Maybe if you were early, you could fully bake your excuses, Clumsinette! And you wouldn't look like a drowned rat!\\
'''Ms. Mendeleiev:''' You were '''''also late!'''''
* Chloé tries to mock Rose by saying her perfume smells like a dead fish. Sabrina "kindly" reminds her that she has the same perfume.
* Rose catches Chloé apparently talking to her bag (actually to Tikki). When Chloé declares she wasn't talking to Rose, the latter asks if she was talking to her bag because she has no friends.
* Marinette sees Tikki with Chloé... and [[EntertaininglyWrong assumes the latter stole Scarlet Lady's Kwami]]. Pollen is noticeably disappointed that her holder failed to connect the dots and figure out Scarlet Lady's secret identity.
-->'''Marinette:''' Pollen, Chloé has Scarlet Lady's Kwami!\\
'''Pollen:''' ''[excited]'' [[HopeSpot Oh my!]]\\
'''Marinette:''' She probably stole her! Cuz she's a thief and Scarlet is careless!\\
'''Pollen:''' ''[with SweatDrop]'' [[IronicEcho Oh my.]]\\
'''Narration:''' '''''Oof so close.'''''\\
'''Caption:''' Missing that last brain cell.\\
'''Tags:''' [[RightForTheWrongReasons #she definitely stole *something* marinette!]]
** There's some irony in the fact that Pollen knows Chloé is Scarlet Lady but doesn't tell Marinette the truth because Tikki told her not to reveal the identities of the Miraculous users. [[BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor Tikki might be regretting that now...]]
** Pollen can also be seen combing Marinette's pigtails the entire time.
* In the bonus panel, as Rose is akumatized, Hawkmoth offers to make her perfume so powerful, she could probably TakeOverTheWorld with it if she wanted to. Rose, [[NiceGuy being Rose]], [[PragmaticVillainy is a little bit more practical than that]].
-->'''Rose:''' I mostly just want my prince, to be honest. [[NotSoAboveItAll ... But we can torment Chloé a little.]]\\
'''Caption:''' You know, as a treat ♥
* Princess Fragrance uses her perfume to make the doorman let her in. After she enters, proudly declaring to Prince Ali that she's coming for him, she turns her attention back to the doorman to ask for directions to Prince Ali.
* Chloé offers a Scarlet Lady figure (which she picked from her shelf), Adrien brings some Chat Noir plushies, and Kagami says her family brought a truckload of Marigold merch. Prince Ali doesn't know who "these characters" are.
* When Princess Fragrance makes Chloé stink, Pollen giggles and Marinette says, "This might be my favorite akuma."
* Everyone assumes Adrien fell victim to the mind-control perfume when he disappears. Meanwhile, Chat Noir comes out from his hiding place where he transformed to find that everyone has left, wondering, "Where is everyone?"
* Because Marinette invoked "Buzz On" while wearing a motorcycle helmet, Marigold ends up wearing one. It appears to have bee-themed colors matching her costume.
* When Prince Ali first sees Marigold, he's surprised that she's real.
* Chloé gets excluded from the escape car.
-->'''Kagami:''' She's not after '''''you''''' and you'll stink up the car.\\
'''Chloé:''' ''[accidentally flinging Tikki into the car]'' Let me in! Who do you think you are?!\\
'''Kagami:''' Go hide in a bush.\\
'''Chat Noir:''' Chloé. Wait for Marigold, or your '''''BFF''''', Scarlet Lady.\\
'''Chloé and Princess Fragrance:''' ''[[[SpeakInUnison in unison]]]'' How dare yoooou!
* After Master Fu heals Tikki, Pollen insists that she get a goodbye hug from Marinette before leaving. Tikki cries tears of joy as she embraces her should-have-been holder... and then sees Pollen with a DeathGlare, telling Tikki that she's the only one with whom Pollen will share Marinette, who is off limits to the other Kwamis, especially Mullo. Marinette, meanwhile, is completely oblivious to all this happening right over her shoulder.
* When Marigold confronts Princess Fragrance, she points out (or at least attempts to point out) a minor flaw in the akuma's plan:
-->'''Marigold:''' Rose, did you forget you have a girlfriend?!\\
'''Princess Fragrance:''' I have '''''two''''' hands, busy body!
** And, indeed, at the end of the episode, Rose has Ali in one hand and Juleka in the other.
* When Princess Fragrance sends her servants after Marigold, the latter snarks she's more afraid of Kagami than Chat Noir.
* Hawkmoth is worried when Princess Fragrance says she'll enchant all of Paris.
-->'''Hawkmoth:''' [[OhCrap Wait, not me though, right?]]\\
'''Princess Fragrance:''' '''''All of Paris!'''''
* After returning Rose to normal, Scarlet Lady starts to brag and introduce herself, but Marigold sees that she's about to transform back and takes none of the Ladybug heroine's usual crap, interrupting her by pulling her by the ear and dragging her away, to both Rose and Ali's confusement.
-->'''Prince Ali:''' ''[{{sweatdrop}}ping]'' Are your heroes usually this... eccentric?\\
'''Rose:''' ''[also {{sweatdrop}}ping]'' Um...
* Chloé tells Prince Ali that Rose has a girlfriend, hoping it'll make him ditch her. [[InsultBackfire Instead, Prince Ali says he'd love to meet Rose's girlfriend,]] and Rose replies that her girlfriend would love to meet him.

!!Season 4
[[folder:Despair Bear: Tales of Jean-___ the Butler]]
* Because Jean's full name isn't known, the title card gets around this by having him hold up Chloé's teddy bear right in front of the unknown section.
* Master Fu feels a mental jab when Marinette points out Scarlet Lady "never should've been allowed to keep the earrings in the first place."
* During Tom's baking lesson, Chloé whines about not wanting to get her new pants dirty, only to be told to shut up. When she demands that everyone listens to her complain, Sabrina tells her point-blank no one cares.
* When Adrien confronts Chloé about her actions, she completely fails to read his mood:
-->'''Adrien:''' Chloé, did you '''''really''''' just call the fire department just to get out of M. Dupain's baking class?\\
'''Chloé:''' ''[surrounded by LoveBubbles and making a kissy face]'' Sure did!
* Chloé's ComicalOverreaction to Adrien ending their friendship, [[OcularGushers with tears streaming from her eyes like a waterfall]].
* When Chloé sends her party invitation to everyone in hopes of getting Adrien to repair their friendship, Lila plans to eat her food, trash her hotel, and [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking leave her with the bill]].
-->'''Marinette:''' Uhh, remind me not to invite you to any house parties.
* When Adrien and Nino tell Gabriel that they are getting ready for Chloé's party, both are surprised that he's okay with it. While Adrien just thinks his father would've made him go either way because it's Chloé, Gabriel has other motives.
-->'''Gabriel:''' A party organized by the most despicable girl in Paris is a breeding ground for akumas! [[EvilLaugh Bwahaha!]]
* When Nino sees Alya in her beautiful new dress, he falls to the ground, convulsing, and writes, "dead by beautiful girlfriend" on the floor with his finger. Alya, [[BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor who had just snarked about Nino not complimenting her dress as Adrien had with Marinette]], can only groan in mortification. (It seems likely he's kidding around to compliment her, but it's way over the top.)
* In order to show Adrien how nice she is, Chloé reluctantly agrees to kiss her other guests on the cheek. As she struggles to kiss Marinette, the latter wonders why she's being punished.
* Jean using Mr. Cuddly to manipulate Chloé into acting decently is worth a chuckle or two.
* Mylène goes through an emotional rollercoaster because of Chloé:
-->'''Mylène:''' Chloé told me my dress belongs in the trash.\\
'''Ivan[=/=]Luka:''' Ugh. Typical.\\
'''Mylène:''' Then she said she was kidding and '''''loved''''' my style.\\
'''Ivan[=/=]Luka:''' Uhh-- [[FlatWhat what?]]\\
'''Mylène:''' '''''Then''''' she dumped a bucket of '''''ice''''' on my drink and I just ''really don't know how to feel right now.''\\
'''Ivan[=/=]Luka:''' '''''?!?'''''
* Kagami arrives wearing a very nice dress. Aurore blushes and has a JawDrop at seeing her. Mireille then bemusedly closes her mouth while telling her friend not to let Kagami catch her drooling.
* When a slow song comes on, Chloé attempts to find a dance partner. Needless to say, it does not go well.
** First, she tries Luka, who just gives her a BluntNo.
** Next, she offers to dance with Kim, who is already dancing with Ondine.
** She demands Nathaniel dance with her, not only [[JumpScare jump scaring him]], but also driving him to grab the first person he can (Marc) just so he doesn't have to dance with her.
** She wants to dance with Adrien, but he has just begun to dance with Marinette. This hits her BerserkButton, making her scream, "What's the point of being '''''nice''''' if he dances with '''''Dupain-Cheng?!'''''" Butler Jean tries to calm her, but she just yells at him to get out of her way.
* The author notes that Adrien is so distracted by his irritation with Chloé that he doesn't even notice Marinette acting besotted.
* When Despair Bear takes over Sabrina, she makes an OutOfCharacter [[WeUsedToBeFriends offer]] to brush Chloé's hair, saying "I promise it won't hurt." Chloé reacts with "Get off me, psycho!"
* Both Adrien and Marinette mentally nickname the akuma as "Creeper Bear." They also make [[INeedToGoIronMyDog lame excuses]] to break off their dance so they can go and transform.
* Marigold [[SpectacularSpinning spins Chloé]] to get her out of the room and away from Despair Bear's attacks from his MindControl victims, even though [[SkewedPriorities Chloé complains it will mess up her hair]]. (It's [[LaserGuidedKarma similar to the move Scar did to Lila]] when she threw her into the fountain.)
* After three seasons, what's the thing that finally [[BrokenPedestal starts cracking]] Scarlet Lady's [[VillainWithGoodPublicity positive reputation]]? Publicly claiming that '''[[HatedByAll Chloé]]''' is her best friend. Everyone is disturbed by this news, especially Aurore, who's so disgusted she looks like she's about to puke.
* As Despair Bear jumps between people to attack the heroes, Scarlet Lady keeps ordering her "sidekicks" to protect her... until she falls prey to the akuma.
-->'''Scarlet Lady:''' Stop him, sidekicks!\\
'''Chat Noir[=/=]Marigold:''' Ugh.\\
'''Scarlet Lady:''' Protect me, sidekicks!\\
'''Chat Noir[=/=]Marigold:''' Shut '''''up,''''' Scar!\\
'''Possessed!Scarlet Lady:''' Give me your Miraculouses, sidekicks!\\
'''Chat Noir[=/=]Marigold:''' '''''[[YouHaveGotToBeKiddingMe Seriously?!]]'''''
* Despair Bear ends up defeated pretty easily... because Chat Noir and Marigold are used to having to work around Scarlet Lady anyway. Having her actively working against them isn't that much worse than what she usually does.
* How Despair Bear is defeated: Marigold takes the Lucky Charm (a fork) to snag Despair Bear by a thread and then hooks it to a sunshade, allowing Chat Noir to unravel Mr. Cuddly, leaving only the doll-sized akuma.
** At the end of it, Scarlet Lady wonders how they got to the pool while Chat Noir holds a tiny akumatized Jean.
* Scar tries some BlatantLies to claim credit for stopping the akuma but promptly gets shot down.
-->'''Jean:''' Begging your pardon, but, what happened?\\
'''Scarlet Lady:''' You became bad but I saved you--\\
'''Marigold:''' That's enough of your '''''lies'''''. Your '''''timer'''''.
* When Jean recovers and states he just wanted to help Chloé salvage her friendship with Adrien, only to get fired, Chat Noir replies [[FiveSecondForeshadowing that she'll forget she fired him by the next day]]. Then...
-->'''Chloé:''' '''''Jean-Baptiste!''''' Get down here and save my party!\\
'''Jean:''' Oh!\\
'''Chat Noir:''' Or she'll forget right now.\\
'''Tags:''' #putting Chloé on Audrey's level where I think she's only serious of about 25% of the people she fires
* As Adrien notices that everyone's still at the party, Chloé comes and asks if he wants to forgive her for everything.
-->'''Adrien:''' [[BluntNo No?]]\\
'''Chloé:''' [[BigWhat WHAT?!]]
** Adrien also gives his response [[TranquilFury with a completely flippant expression, though the preceding panel makes it clear he's serious]].
* Pretty much everyone has hilarious shocked looks on their faces when Chloé cancels her party and presumably kicks them all out after Adrien refused to forgive her.
* [[IRejectYourReality Chloé decides that Adrien was just being dramatic with the whole thing of not being her friend.]]
-->'''Jean:''' ''[thinking]'' ''Yes... '''he's''' the dramatic one.''
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Sapotis: Tales of the Césaire Twins]]
* Nino explains how Alya's been down ever since she realized Scarlet Lady's true nature, and Adrien and Marinette wonder why they didn't notice that. Arrows labeled, "Numb to Scarlet Lady's meltdowns," are shown pointing at both of them.
* Alya is so unwilling to accept what she learned about Scarlet Lady during Chloé's party that she clings to the fact Scarlet Lady is a LegacyCharacter as a reason to believe the Scarlet Lady at the party was someone else. As the author says, "Alya, denial is not just a river in Egypt."
* As Hawkmoth prepares to akumatize the twins, he shows a tad of HypocriticalHumor:
-->'''[[AbusiveParents Hawkmoth]]:''' Ahh, the life of young children is no fun at all. They should be able to do whatever they want, whenever they want.\\
'''[[LonelyRichKid Adrien]]:''' [[SneezeCut Ha-]]'''''[[SneezeCut choo!]]'''''\\
'''Caption:''' "Someone must be talking a lot of bullshit somewhere."\\
'''Tags:''' #Really wish Nathalie was recording all of Hawkmoth's little speeches to play back at him so he can hear what a {{hypocrite}} he is
* Tikki is swimming in the hotel spa pool, a cute little hat on her head and a grouchy look on her face.
* Chloé has no intention of fighting the Sapotis at first. She is taking a well-deserved (in her mind) spa treatment when the Sapotis make it personal by throwing mud[[labelnote:*]] well, one ''hopes'' that's mud! [[/labelnote]] in her face.
* After the first Lucky Charm, Marigold takes Scarlet Lady to a back alley so she can recharge.
-->'''Chloé:''' I can't believe you took me to such a discusting place to recharge! You're heartless!\\
'''Marigold:''' '''HURRY UP IF YOU DON'T LIKE IT!'''
** The author admits that, for once, they weren't picking on Chloé - they just forgot that Chloé would need to recharge and had to pick a feasible place.
* Adrien goes to Master Fu for another Miraculous to help with the Sapotis. When Adrien says he has a person in mind for it, Master Fu asks, "It's not Marinette again, is it?" Adrien denies it, but a narration box says, "Totally was."
* Scarlet Lady [[HelpMistakenForAttack mistakes the new Fox hero for an akuma similar to Volpina]]. Marigold holds her back, pointing out that the Sapotis have already used up the akuma.
* Alya furiously declares to her siblings that just because they are akumas, doesn't mean she won't discipline them in the future.
* When Scarlet Lady tries to assert her (meaningless) authority, Fox Trot (Nino's Fox Identity) immediately sasses Scar, telling her that he'll only follow the orders of Paris's ''true heroes'', the far more competent Chat Noir and Marigold, enraging Scar.
** The sass prompts Marigold to snark to Chat he's good at picking temps.
* Marigold somehow immediately writes down a list of ''everything'' they need to defeat the Sapotis with Scarlet Lady's unicycle Lucky Charm. One wonders where she even got her writing utensil from.
* After the battle, when Marigold offers to escort the Césaires home, Scarlet Lady promptly begins to make up an excuse as to why she can't join them, only for Marigold to snark that she didn't expect her to do anything anyways.
* Alya's FreakOut when she sees Fox Trot for the first time.
* Fox Trot spends so long comforting Alya about her [[BrokenPedestal broken illusions]] about Scarlet Lady that he has to hide in Alya's room to time out. Chat Noir then has to sneak him out over the balcony.
* As in canon, the Fox holder is tempted to keep Trixx:
-->'''Nino:''' ''[starry-eyed]'' [[MundaneUtility Can I keep the Fox to make movies?!]]\\
'''Chat Noir:''' Negative.
** Trixx is also starry-eyed and begging. Seems like they hit it off really well.
* Marinette rushes in and {{Glomp}}s Alya, glad that she's safe. Then Nino rushes in and glomps them both. Finally, Adrien does the same, causing the group to lose their balance and leaving Alya at the bottom of the dogpile.
* Adrien smiles knowingly at Nino as Chris gushes about Fox Trot while reassuring his older brother that he's still the coolest, causing Nino to blush.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Anansi: Tales of Nora the Martial Artist]]
* Adrien manages to go out with his friends, even though his father objected at first.
-->'''Gabriel:''' Adrien, I forbid you from going out tonight. It's too dangerous.\\
'''Adrien:''' Ah, père, I '''''thought''''' you might say that. Sidebar, have you seen [[RunningGag my collection of hair dye]]? I forget, what's '''''your''''' favorite color, père? I'm partial to '''''pink'''''.\\
'''Gabriel:''' [[OhCrap Mon dieu.]]
* Alya's older sister Nora, a kickboxer, catches some snark because she calls herself "Anansi" despite being [[LightningBruiser "like a tank in the ring"]] instead of being tricky like her namesake.
* Hawkmoth knows that if he sends the akuma to someone who has a partial grudge against his own son, he would be directly contributing to putting Adrien in danger. On the other hand, the earrings and ring would look sick on him, which is enough reason for him to send the akuma.
-->'''Caption:''' Excellent set of priorities, Gabby.
* Chloé complains about missing out on going to New York because of her hero duties. Tikki tries to convince Chloé she could take her time off and leave her Miraculous with Marigold and Chat Noir. But Chloé refuses, thinking they wouldn't be anything without her. You can practically feel Tikki figuratively snapping her fingers at Chloé not taking the bait.
-->'''Tikki:''' ''[thinking]'' Worth a shot.
* When Nora is akumatized into Anansi and attacks the Ferris wheel, Alya, who's on said wheel with Marinette, Adrien, and Nino, [[HypocriticalHumor yells at her for being a hypocrite after trying to prevent her from going because of akuma threats]].
-->'''Alya:''' ''[enraged]'' AFTER ALL THAT GRIEF, YOU BECAME AN AKUMA, YOU STUPID--!\\
'''Marinette:''' Alya, don't attract her over here!
** Even the caption agrees: "AFTER ALL THAT TALK NORA!"
* Adrien and Marinette screaming at Alya to run so that they can run off to transform.
* In order to get away from Adrien, Marinette brings up the promise she made to Chat Noir about not fighting in akuma battles anymore, which Adrien (being Chat Noir) buys completely.
-->'''Caption:''' Man, making that promise to Chat Noir has been the best Get-Out-of-Akumas-Free card ever.
* A fearsome but FunnyBackgroundEvent shows Sabrina, Lila, and the latter's mother on the Ferris wheel that Anansi flings at Chloé's hotel suite. They are all terrified, with Lila and her mother clinging tightly to each other.
* Nino's first line when the heroes and Alya catch up with Anansi? A very casual "Hey, babe." Keep in mind, he is several stories off the ground.
* Scarlet Lady gets one look at the "Spider Lady" akuma before desperately calling for her Lucky Charm and dumping it off on Marigold with the [[INeedToIronMyDog excuse of needing to recharge]]. Marigold is suspicious and asks, "And then you'll come back, ''right''?"
* Marigold brings Alya the Turtle Miraculous and offers it to her. Alya's so excited that she grabs Marigold's shoulders and begins shaking her before the heroine can even finish her explanation.
* The new Turtle holder, Alya, takes a moment to feel her new fluffy hair.
* Marigold locates where Scar is hiding by calling her on her top-phone and listening for her yo-yo-phone to ring.
* You know that old saying "Never meet your heroes"?
-->'''Scarlet Lady:''' So what dumb little name have you cooked up for yourself?\\
'''Alya:''' ... Koki Marina.\\
'''Scarlet Lady:''' ''[stroking her chin]'' Hm, there's gotta be some way to make an insult out of it. Give me time.\\
'''Alya:''' ''[seething and thinking]'' I'm going to write '''''such''''' an article about you!
* While Marigold and Koki Marina argue with Scarlet Lady, Chat Noir and Nino (both still trapped in Anansi's web) just engage in CasualDangerDialogue.
-->'''Chat Noir:''' Sup dude.\\
'''Nino:''' Hey, howzit going.\\
'''Chat Noir:''' Oh, you know, just [[IncrediblyLamePun hanging around]].\\
'''Nino:''' [[ActuallyPrettyFunny LOL!]] Hey, how come you don't Cataclysm the web?\\
'''Chat Noir:''' [[DidntThinkThisThrough The web currently attached to our entire backs?]]\\
'''Nino:''' Ah.\\
'''Caption:''' [[SimpleSolutionWontWork So unless you want a wicked "sunburn" on your back... ]]
* Marigold starts challenging Anansi, only to verbally backspace when she sees Koki Marina regarding her with starry eyes.
-->'''Marigold:''' I mean, uh, Koki Marina challenges you.\\
'''Koki Marina:''' ''[gleefully]'' Eeee!
* After Koki Marina defeats Anansi, there's a FunnyBackgroundEvent of Marigold doing a FastballSpecial with Chat Noir.
-->'''Chat Noir:''' Ultimate Chat Noir technique! Aim for the helmet!
* In canon, Alya was tempted to keep Trixx after her first mission as a temp hero. Here, she is tempted to keep Wayzz, but she resists because "... I don't want to be as untrustworthy as ''Scarlet Lady''." Still, she and Wayzz hit it off so quickly that Marigold has to tell them to stop bonding.
* When Nino "reveals" to Alya how he got footage of Koki Marina, she proceeds to snog the daylights out of her boyfriend... even though, as Nino points out, ''Nora'' is right there in front of them.

[[folder:Troublemaker: Tales of Penny the Manager]]
* While gushing about how great working for Jagged Stone is, Penny accidentally [[SayingTooMuch lets slip]] that he always pays his child support on time.
-->'''Marinette:''' Wait, Jagged has kids--?\\
'''Penny:''' ''[holds up a form without otherwise changing her position or dropping her smile]'' You didn't hear that. Also please sign this NDA.
* As Adrien tunes his TV to the program...
-->'''Adrien:''' ''[seeing Marinette all dressed up]'' [[{{Squee}} Omigod, her widdle uniform!]]
* Chloé also tunes in, but she isn't impressed.
-->'''Chloé:''' Ugh, I only wanted to watch this dumb show to see Dupain-Cheng mess up, not to hear her praises!\\
'''Tikki:''' But Chloé, [[ContinuityNod don't you remember]]?\\
'''Chloé:''' What?\\
'''[[TheGadfly Tikki]]:''' [[NiceJobFixingItVillain It's thanks to]] '''''[[NiceJobFixingItVillain you]]''''' that Jagged Stone even '''''met''''' Marinette!\\
'''Chloé:''' [[BigNo Nooooo!]] Don't remind me!
* When Marinette's bedroom is broadcast, the comic cuts to various reaction shots--Adrien has [[WingdingEyes heart eyes]], Marinette is panicking, and Hawkmoth yells a loud [[SayingSoundEffectsOutLoud "Gasp!"]]... before wondering, with a completely flat expression, "Wait, why am I gasping, I already knew that."
* Chloé thoroughly enjoys watching Marinette being embarrassed live on TV. She even [[PassThePopcorn eats popcorn]].
* Marinette freaks out because now all of Paris has seen her bedroom--particularly her Chat Noir photos. She's got nothing to worry about, though.
-->'''Marinette:''' If Chat Noir sees, he'll know I'm in love with him!\\
'''Pollen:''' You think so?\\
''[DescriptionCut]''\\
'''Adrien:''' ''[surrounded by sparks and hearts]'' Should I go see her?! No, no, it's too soon. I should order roses! Should I get red this time?!\\
'''Plagg:''' Ugh.
* Hawkmoth was considering akumatizing Marinette, but when Penny gets frustrated and reaches her RageBreakingPoint, he sighs in relief that he now has alternative since [[BerserkButton he knows how angry Chat Noir would get]] if he chose the former.
* When Penny is akumatized into Troublemaker, Marinette and Adrien quickly jump into action... while Tikki is pretty much pushing Chloé to transform and go help.
* Marigold's meltdown when Chat Noir reveals he saw the show.
* The bonus strip showing [[SarcasmMode "Scarlet clearly taking this very seriously by rushing over"]]:
-->'''Scarlet Lady:''' ''[[[SkewedPriorities looking at several dresses through a window]]]'' Ooo, that'd look great on me!\\
'''Caption:''' Definitely rushing. ''[{{sweatdrop}}s]''
* Even with the fight going on, [[SkewedPriorities Chat Noir can't help but gush about Marinette having so many photos of him]]. He even asks Marigold what she thinks it all means with a blush on his face and sparkles surrounding him.
* When Chat Noir points out that Marigold's Miraculous is very easy to remove, he jokingly says she should glue it down... [[EurekaMoment which gives Marigold the idea to do just that]] in order to get close enough to Troublemaker to use Venom.
** [[DidntThinkThisThrough Unfortunately]], this results in Troublemaker's hand being stuck to Marigold's head until Scarlet Lady presumably uses Lucky Charm to do the WorldHealingWave.
* After subduing Troublemaker, Marigold and Chat Noir wonder why Scarlet Lady isn't showing up. Chat Noir phones her only to hear her phone outside on the roof of the building. It turns out that she was lazing on the balcony the whole time. Understandably, Chat is furious.
-->'''Chat Noir:''' ''[fuming as he pops out of a window next to her]'' '''''HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN HERE?!'''''\\
'''Scarlet Lady:''' ''[jumping out of the lawn chair she was sitting in]'' WAH--!
* Scarlet Lady gives Penny [[RichInDollarsPoorInSense the self-care advice of buying herself a diamond phone case]]. Marigold's expression to that is utterly priceless.
* Marigold panics when Chat Noir mentions Marinette, suddenly reminded that all of Paris saw her collage of Chat Noir photos.
* Penny and Jagged hug after she is deakumatized. He then comments on her ExpositoryHairstyleChange as Troublemaker.
-->'''Jagged Stone:''' Also, the mohawk was hawt.\\
'''Penny Rolling:''' I am not shaving my head for you.\\
'''Jagged Stone:''' Damn.
* Marinette tries to no be seen by anyone at the school the day after, but Adrien finds her instantly. She warns him not to say anything, but Adrien just can't help himself.
-->'''Adrien:''' So...\\
'''Marinette:''' Don't.\\
'''Adrien:''' Um--\\
'''Marinette:''' Do '''not.'''\\
'''Adrien:''' ... about the photos.\\
'''Marinette:''' '''''Ahhh!''''' You said it!
** Then Marinette states [[BlatantLies she's not in love with Chat Noir]] and that being with a superhero would be dangerous while there are supervillains around. She then tries to claim [[SheIsNotMyGirlfriend Chat Noir is just a friend]], but she chokes up on it and starts coughing blood.
--->'''Adrien:''' ''[thinking] '''I have to defeat Hawkmoth A.S.A.P.!'''''\\
'''Caption:''' At least you have some motivation.
* Alya tells her classmates to wear all their Chat Noir merch to (a) help get people off Marinette's back by making it look like she just has a celebrity crush on Chat Noir and (b) rub Chat Noir's growing popularity in Chloé's face.
** Alya then claims she's doing it because Chat Noir doesn't get the recognition he deserves, driving Marinette to tears... as well as Adrien. Nino asks his best friend why ''he's'' so emotional about it.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Intermission 2]]
* Alya decides to do something she swore never to do again: ask Lila for an interview, specifically about her hatred for Scarlet Lady. Lila sparkles and happily holds onto a bemused Alya's arm.
* Adrien attempts to invite Marinette to the ice cream as a platonic thing:
-->'''Marinette:''' Then let's invite Luka and Kagami! Since it's a friend outing!\\
'''Adrien:''' ''[thinking, crying] [[HoistByHisOwnPetard You did this to yourself, Adrien!]]''
* After Rose and Juleka mention that André always thinks they're just "girly friends," Alix boasts about how her aromanticism caused him to have a mental breakdown.
* Nathalie tells Adrien he's forbidden from going out since he has to practice piano. How does he get around this?
-->'''Adrien:''' Man, Plagg. It sure sucks that '''''Adrien''''' isn't allowed out.\\
'''Plagg:''' U-huh.\\
'''Adrien:''' ''[puts on some piano music from his phone]'' And that '''''Adrien''''' has to practice piano.\\
'''Plagg:''' Sure.\\
'''Adrien:''' ''[clenching his fists as tears well in his eyes]'' And that '''''[[OverlyLongGag Adrien--]]'''''\\
'''Plagg:''' I '''''get''''' it already, [[LoopholeAbuse just suit up]]!
** Then it turns out Kagami's [[NotSoAboveItAll also fooling her mother to hang out with her friends]].
--->'''Kagami:''' Oh nooo! Looks like the fencing team strategy meeting isn't '''''here.''''' Seems like I've given my mother the wrong information~♥\\
'''Adrien:''' Ha! '''''I''''' snuck out behind Pére's back! He thinks I'm back in my room playing piano!\\
'''Kagami:''' '''Dammit!''' You've bested me '''''again,''''' Agreste!\\
'''Nino:''' [[LampshadeHanging Why have you turned being a delinquent child into a competition?]]
* When Adrien, Marinette, Luka, and Kagami are waiting for their turn, the former three are really interested in the next ice cream while Kagami just looks bored.
** In the same panel, André runs the volume and plane equations for a cone in his head similar to the "Confused Math Lady" meme when confronted with [[LoveDodecahedron Adrien, Marinette, Luka, and Kagami]] all standing next to each other.
--->'''Caption:''' Andre, just learn about polyamory already and this wouldn't be so hard for you!
* Kagami takes André to task for his business model (not using gloves, not posting his location, deciding his clients' orders without caring for allergies, etc)... until André makes her a Marigold cone, upon which [[NotSoAboveItAll she does a 180 while blushing]].
* Luka asks for platonic ice cream, stating his belief that the best relationships are the ones people work on. André replies that his ice cream can unite people with their true loves--[[OpenMouthInsertFoot like Luka's parents]].
-->'''Luka:''' ''[DeathGlare]'' I don't '''''have''''' a papa.\\
'''André:''' ''[sweating]'' Er, one friendship ice cream, coming right up.
* Nino decides that next time, they should just bring couples while Mylène hopes the four don't break André.
-->'''Caption:''' Screw that noise, FinishHim
* Chloé suddenly shows up and completely ignores how hard Adrien is trying to get away from her as she asks for ice cream. André becomes confused as he attempts to understand who gets the next cone.
* After André presents Adrien with a what looks like a Scarlet Lady cone, he rejects it. Then [[LoonyFan Wayhem]] shows up, [[ScrewThisImOuttaHere causing Adrien to take off running]].
-->'''Nathalie:''' Adrien? I saw a post about you being outside at the Pont--\\
'''Adrien:''' Hahaha, how could that be possible [[BlatantLies when I've been here the whole time]]?!\\
'''Nathalie:''' ... right.
* After Kagami tells Chloé off, Luka thanks her--while keeping Chloé at arm's length as she tries to get him to share his ice cream with her.
* Hawkmoth akumatizing Glaciator:
-->'''Glaciator:''' I'll give Adrien Agreste a double scoop and freeze him where he stands!
-->'''Hawkmoth:''' Haha, [[DelayedReaction wait]], [[OhCrap who-]]
* Chloé thinks the Scarlet Lady cone was meant for Adrien and shows up at his home in her heroine identity. Adrien hears her and ''immediately'' sports a ThisIsGonnaSuck face. Fortunately, Glaciator shows up, allowing Adrien to slam the security system in her face.
-->'''Adrien:''' [[DeadpanSnarker Oh noooo, duty calls Scarlet Lady.]]
* Marigold indicates Glaciator seems to be ignoring couples, and Scarlet Lady acts disgusted at the idea of faking being a couple to either of the other two heroes, only to ask why they aren't begging her to be the fake girlfriend. Then she notices that Chat Noir and Marigold have disappeared already.
* Chat Noir and Marigold as a couple:
-->'''Chat Noir:''' Alright, let's sell this, honey bee!\\
'''Marigold:''' ''[grinning like mad]'' Huh? Ooh, well, if we gotta! Heehee!
* Marigold's reaction when Chat Noir tells a deakumatized André that they're JustFriends.
* André is unnerved when Adrien comments that the cone he receives from the ice cream man at the end reminds him of ''two'' people.
-->'''Caption:''' Adrien, Andre will not stand for Polyamory, you KNOW THAT!

[[folder:Silencer: Tales of Luka the Musician]]
* Chloé makes sure that XY gets his meal for free but tells her father that he can still charge Bob Roth. Bob Roth, who is right next to her, is not amused.
* While Chloé is crushing on XY like there is no tomorrow, the latter barely acknowledges her.
* Bob Roth and XY planning their plagiarism right in front of Chloé. When they start their EvilLaugh, she wholeheartedly approves:
-->'''Chloé:''' ''[thinking while smiling and blushing] Ahhh, my people.''\\
'''Caption:''' Get better standards Chlo.
* Adrien actually ''cries'' when he sees how cool Kitty Section's submission for Bob Roth's contest looks. Plagg even pats his face to comfort him.
* It turns out that XY hired Chloé as his personal designer. He still keeps getting her name wrong.
* When Luka and Marinette call the plagiarists out, Chloé acts as if she is emotionally hurt:
-->'''Chloé:''' ''[pleading]'' Mon Chouka! I worked so hard on that mask! Are you calling me a '''''liar?'''''\\
'''Luka:''' ''[beyond furious]'' [[ShoutOut I'm not calling you a truther!]]
* When Hawkmoth akumatizes Luka's mask as Chloé is ranting about how hard it was to copy Marinette's designs, Luka puts on the mask with ''barely any hesitation,'' then [[FlippingTheBird flips off Chloé with both hands as he transforms]].
-->'''Chloé:''' W-What's that look for?! [[NeverMyFault I did nothing wrong!]] I'm just saying with '''''your''''' looks you could go solo, like XY! You just have to ditch your loser friends! [[KickTheDog And]] '''''[[KickTheDog forget]]''''' [[KickTheDog about Dupain-Cheng!]] Her designs are '''''way''''' too complicated! [[NotHelpingYourCase Do you know how hard it was to copy them?]] And also-- ''[sees Luka mid-akumatization]'' [[OhCrap Oh Σ%$#.]]
* When Luka confesses his feelings for Marinette, she thinks that it's the most romantic thing she's ever heard. Unfortunately, he did so hand puppet motions and using [[{{Jerkass}} XY]]'s voice. Marinette's hilarious facial expression says it all.
* Pollen is definitely shipping her queen with Luka.
* Things do not go well for Marigold upon arriving on the scene. First, Bob Ross uses her as a HumanShield, which leads to Silencer quickly stealing her voice. Then, when Scarlet Lady arrives, she begins to [[TemptingFate taunt her over it]]... only for Silencer to use that as an opening and [[LaserGuidedKarma steal her voice as well]]. He even says, "An opening!" using Marigold's voice. Marigold's face says it all.
* The girls text arguing over who has to text Chat Noir.
* Upon finding out that Scarlet Lady had her voice stolen, Chat Noir immediately teases the angry and frustrated heroine. When he learns that Marigold also had her voice stolen, though, Chat Noir immediately gives her a hug and declares he will help her recover her voice right away. Scarlet Lady is seething and [[FlippingTheBird flips him off]].
* Chat Noir and Marigold plot out how to deal with their current situation via texting--to which Scar contributes with a selfie.
-->'''Chat Noir:''' ''[seeing the selfie]'' [[SarcasmMode Thanks for the contribution, Scar.]]\\
'''Caption:''' Just let the grown-ups talk, Scar.
* While Chat Noir distracts Silencer, Marigold sneaks Bob Roth away... [[ComplainingAboutRescuesTheyDontLike only for him to promptly begins to make an ass of himself]]. Marigold ties him up and leaves him out of the way, giving Chat Noir a SlasherSmile when he asks where she was.
** Meanwhile, Scarlet Lady is... snuggling a tied up and very annoyed XY.
* Since Marigold tricks Silencer into summoning Venom for her instead of Lucky Charm, she brings along a net to catch the voices with, which the rest of Kitty Section are confused about. Apparently, she found it in the dressing room, not knowing [[NoodleImplements what it was doing there]].
* Marigold goes to give Scarlet Lady's voice back so she can purify the akuma and use the Miraculous Cure, but Scar is disgusted at the thought of having to put it in her mouth. Marigold then begins to take the voice for herself, causing Scar to immediately change her mind.
* Bob Roth [[FailedASpotCheck fails to notice]] Chat Noir [[EngineeredPublicConfession aiming a camera at him]] as the executive berates Luka:
-->'''Bob:''' Serves you right, thinking you could make me tell the truth! Like I'd admit I stole Kitty Section's song and look for my son! '''''Ha!''''' ...Uh, why are you smiling?\\
'''Marigold:''' Because Bob Roth, you're on Candid Camera!\\
'''Chat Noir:''' ''[waving]'' Smile!\\
'''Bob:''' '''[[OhCrap GAH!]]'''
* When Bob Roth pretends that he was just joking, tries to talk his way out of the mess he got himself into, and announces a record deal for Kitty Section, he's asked if they can get that in writing.
* Jagged Stone decides to make obvious his dislike of Bob Roth's attempt to plagiarize and threaten Marinette and Kitty Section in the most dramatic possible way: get Roth to a dark room and turn on a spotlight just to scare the crap out of his producer.
--->'''Jagged Stone:''' ''[turning a spotlight on]'' Bob.\\
'''Bob Roth:''' '''''Eeeekk!'''''\\
'''Jagged Stone:''' Let's talk about you threatening my favorite designer. And my ki-- uh, her friends.
** He also sets Fang on Chloé's shoes for her role in the mess.
--->'''Chloé:''' Daddyyyyy! Jagged Stone's stupid lizard is eating my shoes!\\
'''Caption:''' What, did you think Chloé [[KarmaHoudini got out of repercussions]] for her plagiarism?

[[folder:Desperada: Tales of Vivica the Guitarist]]
* Marinette keeps stuttering and blushing around Luka, which just gets worse when Luka shows her how to play the guitar using the good old HandsOnApproach. [[ImStandingRightHere Her friends meanwhile are just watching in awkward silence]], trying to figure what the hell is going between the two of them.
* Once again, Adrien and Kagami have "mistakenly" gotten the address for their fencing practice wrong and end at the Couffaine's houseboat where their friends are. Their friends seem a little exasperated at the two keeping up the "innocent act."
* Adrien sees Marinette with Luka and becomes jealous immediately. Kagami meanwhile looks nervous standing next to him like he's a bomb about to go off any minute.
** Upon hearing that Luka confessed to Marinette, Adrien is seen with an EyeTwitch.
* After being "saved" by Jagged Stone, Marinette has an adorable meltdown.
* When Chloé shows up, she immediately demands compensation from Jagged for her shoes that Fang ate at the end of "Silencer." The rockstar is just annoyed at this point and tells her to send Bob the bill.
* Upon being turned into an akuma, Desperada calls Jagged out for trying to replace her with "a kid." How does Jagged reply?
-->'''Jagged Stone:''' Vivica, ''[[{{Hypocrite}} you're only two years older than him]]''.\\
'''Caption:''' (Pst, Jagged you're not supposed to '''''know''''' how old Luka is).
* When Desperada attacks Luka, Marigold uses her top's rope to fling Desperada away.
-->'''Luka:''' Did Marigold just '''''kill''''' Desperada?
* Marigold leads everyone to the sewers. Scarlet Lady keeps hopping from foot to foot and saying "Ew!"
** The boys gladly skedaddle when Marigold suggests for them to hide--because they really don't want to be near Scarlet Lady. Scar is crying in despair while reaching out to them.
** Chat Noir's voicemail message:
--->'''Voicemail:''' Chat got your tongue? Leave a message!
** Adrien runs around the corner and transforms into Chat Noir.
--->'''Marigold:''' Chat Noir!\\
'''Scarlet Lady:''' Why are you sweating?\\
'''Chat Noir:''' Eheheh!\\
'''Narration:''' Ran
* When Scarlet Lady realizes that Chat Noir is going to give out another Miraculous, she assumes he will give it to Adrien. Surprisingly, Marigold ''[[ActuallyAGoodIdea actually agrees with Scar]]'' that Adrien would make a good Miraculous user.
** Adrien decides to go along with it, telling Plagg that [[DeliberateUnderPerformance he plans to do badly on purpose]] so that he won't be called on again. What makes it funnier is that [[StrangeMindsThinkAlike this is similar to Marinette outing herself as Multimouse in "Puppeteer,"]] but he has no idea of it.
* Scarlet Lady fighting Marigold to be the one to give Adrien a Miraculous.
* As part of pretending to have never seen a Kwami before, Adrien asks if Sass is a genie. Sass seems annoyed by it.
** Plagg's not amused either. What makes it even funnier is that the author posted a close up of the frame he's in. (he's behind Sass if you missed him.)
* Aspik gleefully abusing Second Chance to get revenge on Scarlet Lady over and over, tripping and shoving and even using her as a human shield one time. Whenever she gets caught by Desperada, he just starts again.
-->'''[[EveryoneHasStandards Marigold]]:''' Aspik..?\\
'''Aspik:''' Don't worry. '''''You won't remember this.'''''
** At one point, Aspik tells Scar he's not only Adrien Agreste but also Chat Noir just to see her utterly horrified reaction.
--->'''Aspik:''' '''''Yesss, that's the face I wanted!''''' Second Chance!
* After "trying" multiple times, Adrien returns the Miraculous to Marigold. Then Luka shows up, asking about Adrien, but when Marigold turns around, [[StealthHiBye Adrien has already disappeared]]. Chat Noir shows up immediately afterwards, sweating buckets from all the running he's had to do.
* It turns out that the Eiffel Tower has been destroyed so many times that the area is now marked as a work hazard zone. Wearing a hard hat is mandatory.
** Viperion notes that the heroes had to have destroyed the Eiffel Tower quite a few times to get that warning. Marigold claims that technically it's the akuma that destroys it... right before Chat Noir uses Cataclysm.
* Scarlet doesn't need help to get hit by Desperada, because she keeps falling for it no matter how many Second Chances are used. Viperion ends up angrily asking if she can chill the [[SymbolSwearing #$%Σ]] out.
-->'''Tags:''' #Aspik didn't need to go as hard as he did Scar is a walking hazard on her own
* When Marigold leaves to return the Snake Miraculous, Scar declares she intends to follow her to finally learn where Chat Noir and Marigold get the Miraculous they give to temporary heroes. Marigold {{Troll}}s her by telling her she has to follow her and Viperion into the sewers. Scar then immediately decides [[ScrewThisImOuttaHere her timer's going off and runs away]].
* After Vivica is deakumatized, Jagged apologizes for firing her and welcomes her back to the band. Anarka knows what's going on, though.
-->'''Anarka:''' You fired her on purpose to play with our kids, didn't you?\\
'''Jagged:''' [[BlatantLies I don't know what you're talking about.]]
* After all the secrecy between Anarka and Jagged, it turns out that Juleka and Luka both already know that Jagged is their father--[[SecretSecretKeeper but Jagged and Anarka don't know that they know]]. Penny is in on the twins' secret and thinks it's hilarious.
** Also, Juleka's final line:
--->'''Juleka:''' Well, at least [[ShipperOnDeck we get a cool step-manager]].\\
'''Penny Rolling:''' ''[SpitTake]''
* After Luka assures Marinette that he doesn't mind her being "weird," Marinette replies that she'll always be his friend.
-->'''Luka:''' That said, I'm gonna compliment you a '''''lot''''' more to bring out Blushy Marinette.\\
'''Marinette:''' ''[with a LuminescentBlush]'' '''''[[BigNo NOOOOOOO!]]'''''
* Kagami asks Adrien why he hasn't asked Marinette out yet. His reply?
-->'''Adrien:''' There's an obstacle. A big, tall, annoying, dumb obstacle with bad fashion sense and is '''''so selfish!'''''\\
'''Kagami:''' I understand. [[AccidentalTruth Your father]] '''''is''''' a difficult person to overcome.\\
'''Adrien:''' '''''Eh?'''''\\

[[folder:Ikari Gozen: Tales of Tomoe the Swordswoman]]
* Kagami is fighting her mother when her phone dings.
-->'''Tomoe:''' What was '''''that.'''''\\
'''Kagami:''' ''[with a heavily sweating face]'' [[OhCrap Um...]]
* When Tomoe forbids Kagami from playing the game to find Adrien, Kagami internally notes that she's "going to play ''even harder'' now."
* As Chloé searches the park for a pair of buddies to tag along with so that they can do all the work of finding Adrien, Tikki questions why she didn't just sign up. As it turns out, Chloé ''did'' do that, but her application was denied for "some reason" (she's still banned from contests involving the Gabriel brand due to her plagiarism in "Mr. Pigeon").
-->'''Caption:''' ''Can't imagine why that would be, Chloe.''
* Chloé keeps trying to sabotage Marinette and Kagami, but to her frustration, all her efforts backfire. [[NiceJobFixingItVillain They even end up solving the riddles faster because of her.]]
* Chloé steals Kagami's phone just as Tomoe calls and wastes no time in tattling on Kagami with utter glee. Meanwhile, Kagami and Marinette attempt to get the phone back as they wonder how Chloé can run so fast.
** Kagami begins to tell off her mother, only to get an unpleasant surprise.
--->'''Kagami:''' Actually, okaa-san, I '''''do''''' have friends! '''''Lots''''' of friends! '''''Wonderful''''' friends! Friends '''''I chose myself''''' because I'm '''''done''''' with you '''''controlling my life--'''''\\
'''Ikari Gozen:''' With pleasure, Hawkmoth.\\
'''Kagami:''' '''[[CatharticScream Ughhhhhh!]]'''
* When Ikari Gozen attempts to grab Kagami, [[LaserGuidedKarma she ends up grabbing Chloé instead]], who later complains about [[SkewedPriorities how there's no Bluetooth inside the akuma's stomach]].
* Adrien is waiting for the winners of the contest when the akuma alert sounds out. He transforms and leaves whistling.
* With no Scarlet Lady in sight, Chat Noir and Marigold decide it's time to get a Miraculous. Chat mentions that one of them will have to stay with Kagami--who quickly clings to Marigold.
** Later, Marigold has to BridalCarry Kagami to escape Ikari Gozen. As far as Kagami is concerned, Chat doesn't need to rush.
* When Chat Noir gives Kagami the Dragon Miraculous:
-->'''Kagami:''' ''[surrounded by sparkles]'' Yes, I am grateful you recognize me as the perfect candidate.
* As Longg explains to Kagami what she can do, she's so eager to become a hero that she says the trigger phrase before Longg is done.
* When Ryūko hears Chat Noir calling Scarlet Lady "Scar."
-->'''Ryūko:''' "Scar"? You call your leader Scar?\\
'''Chat Noir:''' Gross, Scar's not the leader. She's a mascot at best.
* Marigold comes up with a plan and asks the others to distract Ikari Gozen. Ryūko seems [[SlasherSmile awfully eager]] to fight her mother's akuma.
* When Ikari Gozen reveals her FreudianExcuse for not letting Kagami have friends...
-->'''Chloé:''' Stop having your soap opera moment and '''''GET ME OUT!'''''
* When Ryūko lets herself get imprisoned (which is part of the plan), Chloé calls her a loser for getting caught ([[HypocriticalHumor despite having been caught first herself]]). A box of bath bombs immediately lands right on Chloé's head and shuts her up ([[NoSympathy much to Ryūko's delight]]).
* Ikari Gozen literally vormits the messed up Chloé out of her body.
-->'''Chloé:''' I '''''HATE YOU''''' PUKE-KO!
* When Scarlet Lady ''finally'' arrives to the fight, neither Chat nor Ryūko are interested in her antics and quickly drag her towards Ikari Gozen.
-->'''Scarlet Lady:''' Worry not, my poor, lost sidekicks, '''I''' have arrived--\\
'''Chat Noir:''' Hurry up, we need the cure!\\
'''Scarlet Lady:''' '''''HEY!'''''
* When Scarlet Lady crows about getting Chloé to safety, she gets her ego punctured when Tomoe asks her who she is.
-->'''Caption:''' You're a fool if you think Tomoe cares about you or the "other" you, Scarlet Lady.
* The tags at the end state that the other heroes likely ignored how Scarlet Lady was dripping in soapy water (from the bath bombs Ryūko used to get Chloé out of Ikari Gozen) by assuming the heroine was in the shower the entire time.
* When Longg calls Kagami out for interrupting him, she immediately apologizes and addresses him as "Kamisama." [[EasilyForgiven He quickly forgives her]] and even pats her head while wagging his tail.
* Kagami gets tackle-hugged from behind by an overexcited Marinette.
* The Gorilla can be seen [[NotSoAboveItAll making bunny ears behind Aurore's head]] in the winning photo of the contest with his usual stony expression.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Crocoduel: Tales of You Two Again?!]]
* The sheer fact that, due to the punctuation of the header, it sounds annoyed over the fact that the akuma is a repeat instead of someone new.
* Luka not divulging his exact age to Lila becomes a BrickJoke as the latter becomes determined to find out the truth:
** When Lila asks Luka how old he is turning on his birthday, Luka teasingly tells her that [[VagueAge he'll be one year older than last year]]. The annoyed Lila calls him a smartass.
** Lila then deduces that Luka and Juleka are twins because they have the same birthday, only for Luka to {{Troll}} her by suggesting that they might have been born on the same day years apart, all while Juleka has a SeenItAll look, implying this isn't the first time her brother's pulled this on others.
** Luka seemingly concedes defeat when Lila declares that he and Juleka must be twins if they're both Jagged's kids. However, as Lila walks away congratulating herself, he mentally notes that she still doesn't know just how old he and Juleka are turning.
* Juleka tells Marinette that she knows who her father is and that he doesn't get along with her mother. Marinette immediately asks Juleka if he's a cop.
* Marinette's reaction when Juleka tells her that [[OnlySaneByComparison between her parents, her mother's the responsible one]].
* Since he's Gabriel's son, Adrien [[SeenItAll doesn't bat an eye]] at Juleka and Luka's dad being someone who can't enter a cinema without causing a scene and has a manager they must talk through. Marinette, in the other hand, has wide eyes and {{Sweat Drop}}s.
* Marinette is confused when Jagged Stone shows up at the birthday party. When she finally gets it, her face is priceless. Juleka's sheepish reaction and NotSoInnocentWhistle only makes it better.
* Anarka immediately finds Jagged despite his attempts at being sneaky... [[EpicFail because he parked his tour bus right on the dock]].
* Marinette, Luka, and Juleka realize the twins' parents are about to get akumatized.
-->'''Juleka and Luka:''' [[ThisIsGonnaSuck Happy birthday to us.]]
* Even Hawkmoth is surprised about whom he's akumatizing:
-->'''Hawkmoth:''' What? [[TitleDrop You two again?]]
* Everyone at the party is so distracted watching the two akumas that [[FailedASpotCheck they don't notice Adrien and Marinette sneaking off right behind them so they can transform]].
* Tikki tries to get Chloé to transform, but she complains that [[JerkassHasAPoint she can't fly to where the villains are despite being a Ladybug superhero]].
-->'''Chloé:''' Make me able to fly!
-->'''Tikki:''' No.
* Scar [[TemptingFate gleefully mocks Marigold and Chat Noir]] when Guitar Villain and Captain Hardrock simply ignore the two superheroes. The villains then quickly yell at her that they're ignoring her, too.
* When Marigold and Chat Noir realize that they forgot to carry their potions with them, their awkward reactions are hilarious.
* While Chat Noir goes off to retrieve more Miraculous, Marigold pulls the unwilling Scar into protecting civilians.
-->'''Scar:''' [[BigNO Noooooo!]]\\
'''Juleka:''' ...Maybe we should pitch in and help.
* When Fu asks why Adrien doesn't have the space potion on him, Adrien points out that he can't be expected to carry weird colored cheese all the time. Plagg immediately calls him out for being a coward.
* Alya, Mylène, and Lila watch as Captain Hardrock and Guitar Villain argue and reveal what happened between them, with Lila eager to learn all their secrets. Alya's glasses even ''crack'' from the shock.
-->'''Captain Hardrock:''' You only every cared about your music! That's why you dumped me when you started climbing the charts!\\
'''Alya:''' Whoa.\\
'''Lila:''' Omigod the tea.\\
'''Guitar Villain:''' Have you caught sea madness?! '''''You''''' dumped '''''me'''''! And didn't even tell me you were pregnant, and '''''blocked''''' me from my '''''own kids!'''''\\
'''Alya:''' '''''What?!'''''\\
'''Lila:''' Ohohomighod the '''''tea!'''''
* Chat Noir and Marigold take Luka and Juleka with them to lend them each a Miraculous while a furious Scar is ignored and left behind.
-->'''Scar:''' What about '''''me?!'''''
* When Chat Noir uses his staff to send Marigold and Purple Tigress flying, Scarlet Lady tries to join them... only to get hit with a satisfying [[WrittenSoundEffect "WHACK!"]]
* Marigold and Purple Tigress manage to snatch the broken record pieces and snap them over their knees... and then go OhCrap when the butterfly doesn't show up.
* When the heroes try to understand where the akuma is, Purple Tigress and Viperion each realize the other's secret identity:
-->'''Purple Tigress and Viperion:''' [[SpeakInUnison I saw the akuma go in before it was broken--]] ''[[[SomethingOnlyTheyWouldSay glare at each other]]]''
* When Purple Tigress punches Captain Hardrock and Guitar Villain with Clout, Viperion and Chat Noir are so shocked they are {{Jaw Drop}}ping, and the latter Cataclysms the akumatized object without looking at it.
* Juleka tells Marigold she knows Viperion's real identity and suspects Viperion knows hers. Marigold breaks into a cold sweat.
-->'''Marigold:''' I-It's fine. Probably.\\
'''Juleka:''' Are you '''''sure?''''' You don't '''''look''''' fine.\\
'''Marigold:''' Nah, it's '''''probably''''' cool.
* Juleka tells off her parents for their arguments.
-->'''Anarka:''' J-Juleka, there's something you don't know about this ship rat--\\
'''Juleka:''' What, that he's my '''''dad?'''''\\
'''Anarka/Jagged Stone:''' You '''''knew?!'''''\\
'''Juleka:''' I've '''''always''''' known. And now so does '''''[[EverybodyKnewAlready all of Paris]]'''''.
* Anarka and Jagged ''finally'' compare notes... and realize ''who'' actually caused their break up.
-->'''Jagged Stone:''' Bob '''''gave me''''' your letter! It said you wanted '''''nothing to do with me!''''' It didn't even mention the kids!\\
'''Anarka:''' Have you swallowed sea water?! '''''Bob''''' gave me '''''your letter''''' and it said you wanted nothing to do with '''''me!''''' Right after '''''I''''' told Bob I was pregnant--\\
''[[ExplainExplainOhCrap [beat] ]]''\\
'''Anarka and Jagged Stone:''' '''''[[RageBreakingPoint BOB!]]'''''\\
''[DistantReactionShot]''\\
'''Bob Roth:''' Why do I feel a sudden chill..?\\
'''Caption:''' That's the dread of your paycheck suddenly being in jeopardy Bob.
* Jagged finally decides to leave Bob Roth's record label, but his resignation letter is worded instead as a notice of termination for ''Bob'', even though he owns the company. The fact that Bob himself initially seems to fall for it when he first reads it and does a SpitTake, all while he's implicitly just run up a ShockinglyExpensiveBill at a fancy restaurant, makes it even better.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Robostus: Tales of Markov the Robot]]
* Marinette finds Max talking to something in his bag, telling it that it's his best friend. When Pollen asks if Max's best friend lives in his bag, Marinette states it doesn't make sense... [[HypocriticalHumor and then asks Pollen if the Kwami has enough spicy chips in her bag]].
* When Chloé attempts to insult Markov (as well as Max's skills in creating him) by claiming her hair dryer is more advanced, Marinette snarks that the only one less advanced than a hair dryer is Chloé herself.
* Marinette asking Mlle. Mendeleiev to let her go to the principal's office and get Markov.
-->'''Mendeleiev:''' No! And I'm done with this topic!
-->'''Marinette:''' Could it be Markov was right and you're jealous of a '''''robot?'''''
-->'''Mendeleiev:''' '''''Enough! Principal's office! Now!'''''
-->'''Marinette:''' [[{{Unishment}} Thank you!]]
-->'''Mendeleiev:''' [[DidntThinkThisThrough ...wait.]]
* Hawkmoth wonders [[{{Foreshadowing}} why he feels uneasy about telling Robostus about the Miraculous's wish-granting power]].
** The {{Flat What}}s Hawkmoth ''and'' Marigold have when Robostus declares ''he'' will use the wish and become a real human.
* By the time Marinette reaches the principal's office, Markov has already transformed into Robostus and is attacking Damocles, prompting her to wordlessly turn around.
* Max escapes from Robostus, telling him he will stop him so he can get Markov back. Robostus seemingly "cries" in response.
-->'''Robostus:''' Top 10 human betrayals. No. 5 will surprise you.
* Adrien asks Fu for a new Miraculous, and Fu gives him the Horse.
-->'''Fu:''' Now, Adrien, I must stress that this is a '''''very useful and important Miraculous''''' and it needs to be treated with the '''''utmost''''' care.\\
'''Adrien:''' Uh, of course, Master Fu, but why is '''''this one''''' so special?\\
'''Fu:''' ''Because without it [[MundaneUtility I can't get my hometown speciality tea]] [[HypocriticalHumor any time I want]]''.
* The RunningGag of putting more emphasis on how impressive Markov's creation is continues with Kaalki, who gets Max's creation of an "evolving artificial intelligence" as his "glorious and famous" feat. Kaalki can only "surmise" that this is impressive.
* Pegasus and Scarlet Lady's first meeting quickly descends into a slap fight between the two, with Pegasus holding the Ladybug heroine off with one hand behind his back. Chat Noir has to yell at them to knock it off.
* Natalie reveals a CargoShip with her tablet after Robustus is defeated.
-->'''Gabriel:''' N-Nathalie, order new missiles for the lair.\\

[[folder:Prime Queen: Tales of Nadja the Reporter]]
* When talking to Marinette on the phone, Lila suggests Chat Noir and Marigold could "tie [Scarlet Lady] to the chair so she behaves." Marinette, who was in Marigold mode at the time, says, [[ActuallyAGoodIdea "That's not a bad idea."]]
* When Nadja asks about Scarlet Lady, Chat Noir says she'll be there "at the last possible second." A bonus panel reveals that Chloé is indeed waiting for the right time to make an entrance worthy of her stardom.
* The first caller is Alya, who asks Chat Noir and Marigold if they are willing to give an interview for the ''Ladyblog''. When Scarlet Lady points out Alya missed her, Alya [[DeadpanSnarker deadpans]] that her blog's fans want the ''real'' heroes of Paris, [[SnubByOmission not her]].
** When the twins ask about Koki Marina, Marigold states that the Turtle heroine is a great hero that will eventually return. Cut to Alya blushing [[SarcasmMode for no apparent reason]].
** And, of course, Alya's sheer RefugeInAudacity in asking the heroes for an interview ''during Nadja's interview with the heroes''.
* The second caller is [[{{Troll}} Lila]]. Scar begins mocking her, but Lila cracks to Marigold and Chat Noir, "How do you put up with Scarlet Lady when she's the worst?" Naturally, Scar bursts into anger while Marigold and Chat nervously try their best to answer with how [[BlatantLies Scar is an important asset]], only for Lila to translate:
-->'''Lila:''' [[BrutalHonesty So you put up with her because you have to. Got it.]]\\
''' Nadja:''' ''[exasperated]'' Goodbye, caller.
* Under orders to get control of the show, Nadja asks the heroes about the rumors of them being a couple.
-->'''Scarlet Lady:''' Gross. As if I'd '''''ever''''' be a couple with '''''either''''' of these sidekicks!\\
'''Nadja:''' Um... I'm referring to "[=ChatGold=]." No one seems to care about '''''your''''' love life.\\
'''Scarlet Lady:''' '''''WHAT?!'''''
** Chat Noir and Marigold refuse to comment, so Nadja pulls out the big guns: [[CallBack a photo of them kissing during the Dark Cupid incident]].
--->'''Chat Noir:''' [[OhCrap Oh]] [[LuminescentBlush no.]]\\
'''Marigold:''' '''''[[BigWhat WH]][[LuminescentBlush AT?!]]'''''\\
'''Scarlet Lady:''' [[UnusuallyUninterestingSight Oh, that.]]
* As Nadja attempts to force a LoveConfession out of Chat Noir and Marigold by bombarding them with images of [[CallBack various cute moments they had together]], Scarlet Lady interrupts:
-->'''Scarlet Lady:''' '''''OH KNOCK IT OFF ALREADY!!!''''' I'm at my [[SymbolSwearing #$%&ing]] limit!
** Poor Marigold is shown to have BlankWhiteEyes from the sheer shock of Nadja's presentation, with a fuming Scarlet Lady helping Chat lead her out.
** The fact that despite Scarlet Lady [[ScrewThisImOuttaHere wanting to leave]] because [[ItsAllAboutMe Nadja wasn't focusing enough on her]], Chat Noir ''[[ActuallyAGoodIdea actually agrees]]'', if only so he and Marigold can stop being bothered by Nadja's insistence that they're dating.
** After the show blows up, one of the techies asks [[LampshadeHanging a rather obvious question]] (likely intended as a jab towards "Troublemaker"):
--->'''Techie:''' Do you think we'd have a better success rate if every show at our station wasn't '''''live?'''''
* After Nadja has turned into Prime Queen, she makes a return. Lila has something to say.
-->'''Lila:''' What a dumpster fire.\\
'''Prime Queen:''' Good evening! Welcome to your new show! I'm your hostess, Prime Queen!\\
'''Lila:''' [[DeadpanSnarker ... Of course.]]
** Prime Queen states her intentions:
--->'''Prime Queen:''' Tonight, Marigold and Chat Noir disappointed their fans by refusing to admit they're a couple in love!\\
'''Chat Noir, Marigold, and Scarlet Lady:''' ''[[[SpeakInUnison simultaneously]]]'' [[YouHaveGotToBeKiddingMe You've got to be kidding me.]]
** And, in order to force the duo to admit their feelings, she kidnaps Lila--by reaching through the TV screen.
--->'''Lila:''' What the heck, why '''''me?!'''''
** Prime Queen puts Lila into a train that will crash unless the akuma gets her way. Lila is most definitely ''not'' happy.
--->'''Lila:''' Nadja, you idiot, you just kidnapped your own babysitter!
** Scarlet Lady's SkewedPriorities remain obvious:
--->'''Prime Queen:''' Will you dare to go through the screen to save your dear little Lila?\\
'''Scarlet Lady:''' [[RefuseToRescueTheDisliked As if I'd get my nails dirty for the superliar.]]\\
'''Chat Noir:''' It's being broadcasted live.\\
'''Scarlet Lady:''' '''''[[AttentionWhore OUT OF MY WAY!]]'''''
** Prime Queen establishes the goal: either Chat Noir and Marigold admit they are in love, or the train crashes.
--->'''Chat Noir:''' A forced confession is as good as a false confession!\\
'''Prime Queen:''' I '''''want''''' my '''''scoop!'''''\\
'''Marigold:''' Seriously, why does anyone even care about this?!\\
'''Lila:''' [[DeadpanSnarker If it helps, I care more about the "not crashing" part.]]
* Marigold confesses she's in love with Chat Noir, but Prime Queen [[MovingTheGoalposts states it's not enough]] and demands them to give her the Miraculous if they want to prove their love.
-->'''Scarlet Lady:''' '''''Gross.''''' I'm not in love with '''''either''''' of these cretins. And I will do no such thing!\\
'''Prime Queen:''' Oh, I forgot you were there.\\
'''Scarlet Lady:''' '''''[[CurseCutShort YOU-!]]'''''\\
'''Caption:''' We all did, Prime Queen.
* Prime Queen shows she has kidnapped Alya, and [[RefuseToRescueTheDisliked Scarlet Lady complains about having to save her since Alya had snubbed her]]. Lila promptly shoves the heroine into the television.
-->'''''Lila: HURRY UP SO I CAN GO BACK TO MY ROOM!'''''
* Chat Noir confessing [[LovesMyAlterEgo he's in love with Marinette Dupain-Cheng]] causes Marigold to experience a ColorFailure.
* Later that night, Lila hears that Nadja wants to interview Alya... on a ''new'' show she's hosting.
-->'''Lila:''' All that melodrama over her dumb show being cancelled, and they just '''''handed her a new one?!'''''

* Adrien is distracted with his thought that Marinette may be Marigold, and Plagg warns him that telling Fu may lead to him losing the Miraculous. Meanwhile...
-->'''Marinette:''' Pollen, should I try to find out Chat Noir's identity?\\
'''Pollen:''' [[YesMan Whatever you think is best!]]
* One of the things Lila likes the most about Mme. Bustier is the "morning compliment time"--because she gets to engage in PassiveAggressiveKombat full of {{Backhanded Compliment}}s with [[HatedByAll Chloé]].
* When Chloé's sabotage of Marinette's present is shown, [[SmugSnake the former doesn't even bother hiding that she did it]].
* Mme. Bustier takes Marinette outside the classroom to speak with her, asking Alya to ensure things don't get out of hand. Alya assures her she'll keep everyone right on track... while the entire class is giving a Grade-1 CollectiveDeathGlare (yes, even [[NiceGirl Rose]]) to [[HatedByAll Chloé]], who is sweating buckets.
* Hawkmoth sends the butterfly to akumatize Marinette... while praying that it will be worth the risk.
-->'''Caption:''' Hawkmoth is really at the end of his rope here.
* Hawkmoth changes his mind and picks Mme. Bustier, but he's aware that she will target Marinette, so he's still worried about Chat Noir's reaction.
-->'''Hawkmoth:''' Well, switching from the girl to someone upset with the girl is '''''marginally''''' better, I '''''guess.''''' In for a penny, in for a pound.\\
'''Caption:''' "I mean, I already sent out the butterfly."
* When Chloé witnesses Mme. Bustier being akumatized, she tries to sneak away until she hears Bustier saying she'll start with Marinette.
* Sabrina is Zombizou's first victim, and she ends up tackling Lila to kiss her.
-->'''Lila:''' Sabrina! Stop smearing your lip gloss all over me! [[ComicallyMissingThePoint Now's not the time to realize how amazing I am!]]
* Nathaniel attempts to warn everyone in art club about Zombizou, only for the akuma to show up [[RightBehindMe right behind him]]. Nathaniel's OhCrap face is hilarious.
-->'''Caption:''' Bye bye, Nathaniel ''(crying emoji)''
** Also, if you look carefully, you'll notice that Nathaniel's shirt says [[MythologyGag G.O.A.T.]].
* Adrien fakes having fallen for Zombizou's effect.
-->'''Adrien:''' Oh noo, I-I feel faint. I think I- ugh, ki-kissou--\\
'''Nino:''' Dude, I love you but not enough to makeout with your zombie, '''''stay away!'''''\\
'''Caption:''' Sooo, [[HoYay if he WASN'T a zombie...?]]
* When Max is caught by the zombies, he asks the others to hit Zombizou extra hard, because being kissed is very uncomfortable for him.
* Kim pushes Scarlet Lady off the roof while shouting at her to get on with saving everyone.
* Scar getting instant LaserGuidedKarma when she's the one that gets kissed instead of Marinette is worth a chuckle.
** For extra {{Irony}}, she's kissed by Chat Noir, AKA Adrien Agreste, the boy she likes.
** Plus, there's Scar's SkewedPriorities:
-->'''Scarlet Lady:''' Ew ew '''''ew, CAT LIPS!'''''
** Not to mention Marinette's [[ThousandYardStare utterly mortified expression]] when she finally gets a chance to transform.
* The next day, Marinette apologizes to her classmates for causing Mme. Bustier to be akumatized by going off on her. The others actually think it was awesome, with several of them holding a bit of a grudge against their teacher for what she lets Chloé get away with.
** Then they declare they'd be willing to jump in front of a hundred akumas to protect Marinette.
--->'''Marinette:''' Thanks, but '''''PLEASE DON'T'''''!
[[/folder]]
[[folder:The Mime: Tales of Fred the Performer]]
* Marinette is speaking with Pollen as she tries to narrow down Chat Noir's SecretIdentity when Alya shows up all of a sudden and asks who Marinette's talking to. Marinette points at a pigeon and claims she was talking to "Jacques," much to Alya's befuddlement. The bird makes a cute bow as if Marinette is a FriendToAllLivingThings.
** Alya apparently buys Marinette's SeamlessSpontaneousLie due to seeing Jacques bow to her in response.
** Later, Jacques shines even if it's Alya's turn to shine.
* Alya shows Marinette a video that has, among other things, Scarlet Lady telling a journalist to get away from her because he works "for that ''cheap'' magazine."
* Alya's currently running the ''[[LongList Ladyblog]]''[[LongList , the school blog, Marinette's fashion blog, and a blog about Markov]]. It's also implied there's even ''more'' blogs she didn't mention.
* When Alya steps away to make a post on one of her ''many'' blogs, Pollen asks if she can see Alya's video, and Marinette moves to restart the video. A sudden gust of wind distracts her, and she ''accidentally deletes'' Alya's video. There aren't enough words that can explain how huge Marinette and Pollen's OhCrap faces are.
* In order to keep Alya from finding out about what happened, Marinette steals her bestie's cellphone and hides it behind her back while seeing her off. She does this in full view of Mylène, who gives her some ''epic'' side-eye while sliding out from behind her.
-->'''Mylène:''' '''''Marineeeeette.'''''\\
'''Marinette:''' ''[gives her a cat-eyed stare, realizing she DidntThinkThisThrough]''
* When the Mime attacks the Agreste car, Marigold shows up to save them--and when she and Adrien see each other, they remember that there's a high chance the other is the person they like. So they ''[[FlirtingUnderFire flirt with each other]]''.
-->'''Adrien and Marigold:''' [[SayItWithHearts Hey~♥]]
* Chat Noir joins Marigold.
-->'''Chat Noir:''' Starting the party without me, Honey Bee?\\
'''Marigold:''' Hardly!\\
'''Chat Noir:''' Let's see what he's got!\\
''[Chat Noir attacks, only to get whacked when the Mime mimes hitting him]''\\
'''Marigold:''' [[DeadpanSnarker Yeah, you won't be "seeing" much of anything.]]
* When Marigold decides to give Mylène a Miraculous, she tells the girl to go and hide in an alley "for at least 10 minutes." Mylène is confused at how specific this request is.
* [[ApologeticAttacker Ultimutt apologizes as the Mime falls off the bus]], though from context, it seems that she was holding onto his arm until he tried to attack her, meaning it was mainly his own fault.
* Ultimutt tricks the Mime into participating in a mime off, during which she pretends to mime the throwing of a ball... but instead hits the akuma's hat with her real ball, allowing a Fetch of the hat and the akumatized object hidden inside it.
* With Ultimutt ready to Fetch the Mime's hat, all that's missing is for Scarlet Lady to show up. Chat Noir primes up Cataclysm.
-->'''Chat Noir:''' Oh, '''''I''''' know how to get her attention.\\
'''Chloé:''' ''[sunbathing, with the Eiffel Tower in the background]''\\
'''Chat Noir:''' ''[in the distance]'' Cataclysm!\\
'''Chloé:''' ''[seeing [[MonumentalDamage the Eiffel Tower starting to collapse]]]'' [[FantasticallyIndifferent Ugh,]] '''''[[FantasticallyIndifferent this]]''''' [[FantasticallyIndifferent again?]] Tikkiiiiii!
** There's the fact that despite the heroes not needing to bring down the Eiffel Tower like in canon, it still gets destroyed anyway.
* After the Mime is stopped, Chat Noir flirts with Marigold by suggesting they go to the show, only for Marigold to counter by strongly hinting she knows he's trying to discover her SecretIdentity. She then ''challenges'' him to see which of them finds out the truth first. Chat Noir takes the challenge with a grin.
* Scarlet Lady as Chat Noir, Marigold, and Ultimutt do the FistBump:
-->'''Scarlet Lady:''' Where'd you get the poodle?\\
'''Marigold:''' [[DeadpanSnarker The same place I get every hero to pick up your slack. From the distant land of None-Ya Business.]]
* Marigold tells Barkk that being an actress gave Mylène a good sense of timing.
-->'''Mylène:''' [[INeverSaidItWasPoison How'd you know I'm an actress?]]\\
'''Marigold:''' [[INeedToGoIronMyDog Whoop, that's my timer,]] [[ScrewThisImOuttaHere time to go Barkk!]]
* After all the catastrophizing Marinette went through in her fear of Alya's reaction to her video being deleted... it turns out that Alya's phone automatically uploads all her videos to the cloud.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Gorizilla: Tales of ____ the Bodyguard]]
* Because The Gorilla's name has yet to be revealed, the title card puts his fist in front of the spot where his name would be.
* While the fact that Gabriel seems to be drawing a potential connection between Adrien and Chat Noir is concerning, the way that he casually dismisses his son trying to ask him a question is somewhat amusing:
-->'''Gabriel:''' ''[as calculations swirl around his head]'' Yes... Busy...\\
'''Adrien:''' Uh, père?\\
'''Gabriel:''' Why are you still here?
* Chloé orders several boxes of Gabriel's latest perfume, ''Adrien'', and lounges in the bottles while sighing about her crush. Not the perfume itself; just the bottles.
-->'''Chloé:''' Radiant... Carefree... Dreamy... ''Adrien''~\\
'''Tikki:''' [[DeadpanSnarker Single-handedly financing the business, are you?]]
* A bonus panel has Marinette explaining to Pollen why she's bringing so many swimsuits. Pollen admires her owner being so CrazyPrepared while also quietly acknowledging the downside:
-->'''Marinette:''' So this swimsuit is in case something happens to the first swimsuit in the wave pool, and ''this'' swimsuit is in case someone spills ice cream on themselves, and ''this'' swimsuit is in case someone is self-conscious about the swimsuit they brought and wants to change...\\
'''Pollen:''' ''[proudly thinking] My Queen is so prepared and so going to be late.''
** When Marinette calls Alya to apologize about being late, Alya immediately guesses (correctly) that her best friend had tried to pack five backup swimsuits "just in case."
* Poor Adrien's day gets worse when he's promptly recognized by Wayhem, who immediately drags him into a selfie and posts it. As others react to Adrien presence with stars in their eyes, he can only [[ThisIsGoingToSuck stare in horror]], mumbling [[OhCrap "Oh no."]]
* Chloé is spraying ''EVERYTHING'' in her room with Gabriel's new fragrance. Once she gets an alert that Adrien's outside, she spritzes poor Tikki right in the face while preparing to "grace him with my presence":
-->'''Chloé:''' ''[posing proudly]'' Ready to go!\\
'''Tikki:''' ''[coughing]'' [[DeadpanSnarker Now that you smell like teenage boy and cheese?!]]
* Chloé's pettiness reaches even greater levels: she transforms into Scarlet Lady just because someone posted a photo of Adrien and Marinette and said the latter was Adrien's girlfriend.
** She also tries to "rescue" Adrien from Marinette, [[ComicallyMissingThePoint failing to realize]] her attempt is [[UnwantedRescue completely unwanted]]. Nor does she like the fact that Adrien chose "peasant" places to hide.
--->'''Scarlet Lady:''' What the heck, Adrikins, stop hiding out in '''''poor''''' places so I can rescue you already! The public park?! The subway?! Didn't your daddy raise you better?!
* In Part 3's bonus, while Alya, Rose, and Mylène gossip about Adrien and Marinette being caught hiding in a fountain, there's a FunnyBackgroundEvent of Kagami sporting a DeathGlare as she shoots Alix in the back with a water gun.
* When Adrien reveals how his father went so far as to hide the only DVD copy they had of the ''Solitude''[[note]]The movie in which Adrien's mother stars as the lead actress[[/note]], it really triggers Marinette's BerserkButton.
-->'''Adrien:''' ''[noticing Marinette's BattleAura]'' A-Are you okay?\\
'''Marinette:''' '''''[[BlatantLies Totes.]]'''''\\
'''Narration:''' Urge to kill rising.
* While Adrien and Marinette are at the cinema, what should show up in the pre-movie ads but the ''[[EmbarrassingAdGig Adrien]]'' fragrance ad? Adrien (who's wearing a motorcycle helmet) lowers the visor in annoyance while Marinette laughs.
-->'''Tags:''' #seriously missed opportunity that Adrien's friends didn't rip on him 24/7 after this commercial dropped
* Adrien and Marinette's viewing of ''Solitude'' gets interrupted when someone gets a photo of them. Scarlet Lady shows up... and gets trampled by the crowd of Adrien fans.
* Scar reveals her true colors:
-->'''Scarlet Lady:''' '''''How dare you pretend to be my Prince's girlfriend!'''''\\
'''Marinette:''' [[LampshadeHanging Is]] '''''[[LampshadeHanging this]]''''' [[LampshadeHanging what you do with your free time?]]
* Gorizilla interrupts things by crashing his gigantic hand through the roof and grabbing Adrien.
-->'''Scarlet Lady:''' He got Adrien! Someone do something!\\
'''Random fan:''' Isn't that what '''''you're''''' here for?
* Wayhem loudly declares he will save Adrien... [[FunnyBackgroundEvent while Marinette transforms just three rows behind him]]. [[BrickJoke He does in fact later help defeat Gorizilla by returning Marigold's top to her.]]
* The caption, much like in "Horrificator," indulges in a BaitAndSwitchComment at Scarlet Lady's expense:
--> '''Caption:''' Look what you fools have done! All that tagging Adrien's location, you brought ''Scarlet Lady'' right to him!
* Adrien has no faith in Scarlet Lady.
-->'''Scarlet Lady:''' I'll save you, Mon Prince!\\
'''Adrien:''' [[DeadpanSnarker I won't hold my breath.]]
* Marigold prepares her top to use Venom on Gorizilla... and Scarlet Lady slaps the top away due to [[SkewedPriorities wanting save Adrien herself]]. Marigold looks ready to kill when the top falls off the building they're on.
** There's also the fact that right before she loses her top, [[TemptingFate Marigold explicitly comments that defeating Gorizilla will be easy since she has Venom]].
* Scar tries to attack the akuma... [[LaserGuidedKarma and quickly gets herself captured]].
* When Adrien doesn't transform into Chat Noir even while Marigold's captured, Hawkmoth simply sighs and tells his akuma to let her escape, noting that he [[SkewedPriorities "can't make ads with a pancake son."]]
* After Marigold brings Adrien to safety, he almost slips and calls her "Honeybee," causing others to wonder what's going on. [[MomentKiller Gorizilla chooses that moment to interrupt]], giving Adrien and Marigold some hilarious OhCrap faces.
* After Wayhem throw's Marigold's top back at her and apologizes to Adrien for starting the mess, Adrien decides to [[ThrowTheDogABone give him his email address]], saying he had fun when they met back during "Ikari Gozen"...
-->'''Adrien:''' '''''But it's only for you.''''' I better not find it on Reddit or something.\\
'''Wayhem:''' F-Fair...
* Gabriel tries to passive-aggressively hint to his son that he believed him to be Chat Noir. It... doesn't go the way he planned.
--> '''Gabriel:''' If you start hiding things from me, I'll imagine all kinds of things. Understand?\\
'''Adrien:''' No? What kinds of things?\\
'''Gabriel:''' ''[flustered]'' Uh, nevermind.
* When Marinette finally arrives to the water park, the girls crowd around her.
-->'''Alya:''' So, are you, like, Adrien's '''''girlfriend''''' now?\\
'''Marinette:''' [[HeIsNotMyBoyfriend N-No!]]\\
'''Rose:''' But do you '''''want''''' to '''''be?'''''\\
'''Marinette:''' ''[with a LuminescentBlush]'' ... I don't know.\\
'''Someone:''' ''[spraying Marinette with water]'' '''''WRONG ANSWER!'''''\\
'''Marinette:''' '''''GAH!!!'''''
** For extra hilarity, Kagami is the only one to have been seen carrying a water gun. You can easily see this as ''[[NotSoAboveItAll Kagami]]'' shooting water at Marinette because she's a ShipperOnDeck and Marinette won't take the chance.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Sandboy: Tales of the Sleepwalker]]
* Plagg and Tikki sneak out of their homes to meet each other, with the latter concerned about whether Pollen can come up with a good excuse.
-->'''Tikki:''' I hope Pollen managed to come up with a cover story. She's [[BadLiar not a good liar]].\\
''[[[DescriptionCut cut to Pollen and Marinette]]]''\\
'''Pollen:''' Good night, my Queen. And thank you for allowing me to venture out this evening.\\
'''Narration:''' ''[with arrow pointing at Pollen]'' [[HonestyIsTheBestPolicy Just told the truth]]\\
'''Marinette:''' Don't forget your gift!
* Tikki and Plagg cheerily greet Pollen until they notice the latter carrying a bag much bigger than her. Moreover, the three Kwamis have the same reactions they did when they met in "Riposte."
* Tikki and Plagg sweat and exchange nervous glances when Sass notes how fortunate they are that their holders allowed them to attend.
-->'''Plagg:''' [[SureLetsGoWithThat Yeaaaaah, "allow."]]
* Despite lamenting in "Reflekta" that without her influence, Marinette was (seemingly) becoming a criminal, Tikki [[HypocriticalHumor steals Chloé's diamond scrunchie to give to Nooroo]] and [[NotSoAboveItAll eagerly anticipates Chloé noticing it's missing]], complete with a CheshireCatGrin.
* Chloé's nightmare is being attacked... by her clothes and makeup.
* Rose's nightmare is being hated by [[GirlsLoveStuffedAnimals her many stuffed animals]].
* When the Chat Noir in Marinette's nightmare shows up, [[NiceGirl Rose]] [[BewareTheNiceOnes kicks him in the face and proceeds to beat the crap out of him]] as she drags him into a BigBallOfViolence. Marinette salutes her.
-->'''Marinette:''' ''[thinking]'' ''Bless you Rose you violent angel.''
** Rose later manages to restrain Nightmare!Chat Noir by [[WrestlerInAllOfUs putting him in a Boston crab]].
* When Marinette gets into Master Fu's home, she briefly forgets the code for the Miraculous Box, leading to the image of a panicking Marinette trying (and failing) to open a gramophone.
* Marinette wakes Fu up while he's having a nightmare of being blamed for the Order of the Guardians' destruction. The {{Bedsheet Ghost}}s are so non-scary that Marinette doesn't know why Fu is scared.
-->'''Marinette:''' [[ComicallyMissingThePoint Your nightmare is talking handkerchiefs?]]
* The Kwamis manage to contact Nooroo... right when Hawkmoth was using the Miraculous. The Kwamis' reactions (particularly Plagg treating everything like a botched phone call) are hilarious.
* While persecuted by the {{Bedsheet Ghost}}s, Fu reveals that [[NoodleIncident whatever he did]] was because he was hungry. The Kwamis decide not to make the scene more awkward than it is and just silently {{sweatdrop}} as they watch.
** Tikki and Plagg even keep staring as they fly back to their holders, with Plagg attempting a NotSoInnocentWhistle.
* As Marigold picks up a Miraculous to lend out, Fu begs her to use Bee Balm to at least get rid of the nightmares.
* Upon returning to Adrien, Plagg is greeted by his holder, who cries tears of immense relief that his Kwami is no longer a sock, [[ComicallyMissingThePoint not realizing that Plagg snuck off after leaving a sock]] as a SleepingDummy.
* Chloé believes that [[ItsAllAboutMe her belongings came to life and are attacking her because they want to overthrow her]] [[YoureJustJealous out of jealousy]]; she only realizes it's an akuma when Tikki suggests it.
* Rather than get excited that she's about to become a temporary hero, Rose is instead horrified by the thought of having to fight a child, forcing Marigold to assure her that they need her for something else.
* Even after transforming, Pigella's fear (her stuffed animals hating her) doesn't change, leading to Scarlet Lady mocking her and Sandboy whining that her fear doesn't give him a lot to work with.
** There's also Scarlet Lady's [[{{Hypocrite}} hypocrisy]]: she mocks Pigella for having a nightmare that mostly involves just being attacked by stuffed animals (while being [[BridalCarry Bridal Carried]] by the Pig heroine), even though Chloé's nightmare was being attacked by her makeup and clothes.
* When the child tells Pigella what happened, the heroine's TranquilFury leads to Marigold thinking that Hawkmoth better hope Pigella ''never'' finds him.
* [[RunningGag Once more]], the heroes have to deal with a temporary hero ready to adopt their Kwami.
--> '''Rose:''' So what's your favorite color? Food? What about music --\\
'''Marigold:''' Stop stop '''''stop''''', this isn't an '''''adoption!'''''
* The idea of being allowed to ''scold'' Marinette mentally breaks [[YesMan Pollen]], who ends up [[HeroicBSOD losing consciousness]]:
-->'''Pollen:''' ''[muttering with BlankWhiteEyes]'' Scold... my Queen? ''[drifting off]'' Me scold... my Queen. Scold--\\
'''Plagg:''' ''[to Marinette]'' I think you broke her, Pigtails.
* Due to the Kwamis's attempt to contact Nooroo, Gabriel now knows how many Kwamis there are in Paris, which he soon [[EvilGloating gloats]] about. Unlike canon, however, Nooroo... [[MoodWhiplash isn't exactly worried]].
-->'''Gabriel:''' I'll find them all and their Miraculouses! Then I'll have unlimited power at my disposal! Then nothing will stop me! [[EvilLaugh Bwahahaha!]]\\
'''Nooroo:''' [[FirstPersonSmartass You haven't even managed to get the Miraculouses you're invested in, you flop.]]
** Zoe justifies this gag by claiming to have written that page before the end of Season 4. She also points out that technically, Felix was the one who obtained all the Miraculous, not Gabriel.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Reverser: Tales of Marc the Writer]]
* As is often the case, the chapter titles together form a HurricaneOfPuns, though this time, the author takes the novel approach of using pairs of words, with the first being a real word while the second is a pun on the first, containing a word sounds like the opposite of part of the first word. The resulting titles are: "Breakfast, Breakslow," "Cashew, Cashaw," "Fireworks, Waterworks," "Planet, Screwet," "Champagne, Champleasure," "Wardrobe, Peacedrobe," "Hot Dog, Cold Dog," "Cyclops, Walkops," "Ketchup, Ketchdown," "Internship, Leadership," "Tyrannosaurus, Electedsaurus," "Popsicle, Classical," "Smoothie, Roughie," "Parking, Parqueen," "Mango, Womango," "Pasteurized, Futurized," and "Radioactive, Radiolazy."
* As he heads up to the art room, Nathaniel laments how he's been looking for the person he danced with at Chloé's party for a while now with no luck... [[FailedASpotCheck right as Marinette spots Marc sitting beneath the stairs]].
-->'''Caption:''' You need to look '''DOWN''' Nat!
* Nathaniel turns out to have been making a lot of art about an evil Scarlet Lady.
-->'''Art Teacher:''' Why do you keep drawing [Scarlet Lady] as a villain?\\
'''Nathaniel:''' Artistic expression. I'm '''''expressing''''' how Marigold is '''''better''''' than her.
* When Chloé barges into the art classroom to present her "unique masterpiece," Alix (while imitating Chloé's overdramatic pose) immediately guesses that it's "''another'' collage of selfies." When it turns out she's right, everybody else begins to laugh.
** Also, the key word is ''another''. How many times has Chloé tried to do this?
** Chloé attempts to retaliate by mocking the others' work, first Juleka and Rose's songs (with Juleka reminding her that their band actually has a contract and Chloé helped XY when he tried to rip Kitty Section off) and Marinette's dresses (only for Marinette to smugly point out that Jagged Stone and Gabriel Agreste don't think the same... and that Chloé tried to rip her off ''twice'').
** Chloé turns to Marc... and stops mid-sentence because she doesn't know who they are, even though the two have met at least once. Marc still flees from the room in fright and even ScreamsLikeALittleGirl!
* The art teacher tries to come to Chloé's defense... and is promptly shut down by Alix.
-->'''Art Teacher:''' Well Alix, if Chloé really '''''did''''' have an art project, it's too bad we didn't give her a chance to tell us about it, isn't it?\\
'''Alix:''' Uh, no? Why would I want her here? [[DeadpanSnarker So she can come insult everyone, take over the art room, and try to steal ideas from us?]]\\
'''Art Teacher:''' ...\\
'''Alix:''' Yeah, that's what I thought.\\
'''Caption:''' Sounds like she'd be a GREAT contribution to the club, dude.\\
'''Tags:''' #she LITERALLY has a track record of art theft and sabotage Mr. Art Teacher!
* Marc drops a book which Marinette picks up, finding it's called... "[[InSpiteOfANail The Diary of Ladybug]]."
--> '''Marinette;''' [[DramaticIrony ... Who's that?]]\\
'''Caption:''' ''No one, no one at all.''
** Marc's story has Hawkmoth being helped by two people: Scarlet Queen (a villainous Scarlet Lady) and Antibug (a villainous Chloé), [[DramaticIrony both of whom would be the same person]].
* Marinette awkwardly muses that she doesn't know if it's brave or '''[[FearlessFool dumb]]''' to make a blatantly anti-Chloé and anti-Scarlet Lady story.
-->'''Tags:''' #in fairness to Marc they never [[PlausibleDeniability SAID]] it was Chloe...just heavily implied it
* When Marc proves reluctant to meet with Nathaniel and show him their writing.
-->'''Marinette:''' Don't worry, Marc. '''''I''''' have a plan.\\
'''Marc:''' ''[{{sweatdrop}}s]'' [[GenreSavvy Should I be concerned?]]\\
'''Caption:''' A [[ComplexityAddiction Marinette]] plan? [[SarcasmMode I'm sure this will be simple and straight forward and won't have any multiple variables AT ALL.]]
** And, for irony's sake, it turns out the plan is pretty straightforward: Marinette gives the book to Nathaniel, tells him it's from a friend, and then asks if he wants to meet them. [[SpannerInTheWorks If only Chloé hadn't found out about it...]]
** Marinette and Adrien are later seen keeping watch from her terrace, happy to see that Marc and Nathaniel are getting along just fine... until they notice [[AlphaBitch Chloé]] marching towards them. [[OhCrap Cue a frantic race for the stairs]] [[GenreSavvy to prevent a catastrophe]]. They both end up tumbling and landing in the corridor downstairs.
--->'''Caption:''' They're trying their best.\\
'''Tags:''' #adrien and marinette just know chloe means no good ON SIGHT
* When Nathaniel reads the book, he finds a scene in which Ladybug captures Scarlet Queen because the villain was too preoccupied with [[RunningGag her hair]] to put up a fight.
** In the scene, Scarlet Queen sacrifices Antibug so she could get away. In other words, it has Chloé using herself as a HumanShield.
--->'''Nathaniel:''' ''[reading]'' "I'm sure Antibug would've done the same to Scarlet Queen if she could."
** The following ImagineSpot has Antibug with some comical OcularGushers as she's tied up by the heroes.
* Chloé overhears Alix and Nathaniel discussing his new "Scarlet Queen" drawings and [[DramaticallyMissingThePoint thinks the latter has "properly glorified [her] other self."]] She decides to have a look at his drawings on the school blog. Cue DistantReactionShot.
-->'''Chloé:''' ''[seeing the sketches]'' '''''WHAT IS THIS?!'''''
* When Marinette suggests that Nathaniel meet with the book author, Nathaniel is all in... and has already deduced it's Marc.
-->'''Marinette:''' '''''[[SuddenlyShouting GOTTA GO, DON'T BE LATE, K?!]]'''''
* Marc gets akumatized (of course) because of Chloé and proceeds to attempt to use their powers on her. Then [[ByTheBookCop Officer Raincomprix]] shows up (while Chloé is slipping away from the chaos in the background).
-->'''Officer Raincomprix:''' Hey, you! [[SkewedPriorities You got vehicle registration for that thing?]]\\
'''Nathaniel:''' [[YouHaveGotToBeKiddingMe Is M. Raincomprix]] '''''[[DramaticallyMissingThePoint blind?!]]'''''\\
'''Tags:''' #roger: [[UnusuallyUninterestingSight 'oh this person looks like two toned origami and is floating 10 feet in the air]]...do they have a license though?!
* While under the influence of Reverser's powers, Mayor Bourgeois announces that instead of launching Paris's new space dumpster program, which involves storing the city's trash in orbital dumpsters, he will instead order the satellites to release all the trash back down to Paris and make it the world's biggest trash heap. Someone in the crowd asks [[InventionalWisdom why that is even a feature]].
* Marigold wonders how Scarlet Lady got even ''worse'' after getting hit by Reverser and becoming a whiny crybaby with no confidence who incessantly complains about how hopeless it is that they'll win.
* When Fu fakes a fall, Chat Noir realizes that he's the only one who technically can "help" the elderly man. To make matters worse, he has to climb up the stairs (thanks to Reverser, Chat Noir has lost his confidence in anything he does and is now nervous about heights).
** Master Fu/Jade Turtle reveals that he can't help out in the fight himself since he'll get backlash once the transformation goes away, which is why he snaps at Chat Noir to hurry.
** After detransforming, Fu is indeed hunched over and out of breath.
* When Chat Noir and Marigold convince Nathaniel to get to safety, Scarlet Lady cries about how no one's taking ''her'' to safety. Nathaniel also nervously asks if Chat Noir plans on taking him to the sewer.
* Chat Noir presents Nathaniel with a Miraculous... and then cries at the thought of Nathaniel refusing, which would mean Chat will have to fight the bad guy himself.
* As Marigold clumsily tries (and fails) to use Bee Balm, Scarlet mutters that what she's trying to do is "pointless, utterly pointless." WordOfGod also reveals that the bonus panel containing the scene was drawn only the day before in response to all the questions about [[StatingTheSimpleSolution why Marigold didn't just use Bee Balm]].
* When Ziggy explains the power of the Goat Miraculous, Nathaniel laments that being able to only create one item is a downgrade from his powers as Evillustrator. Ziggy gets annoyed at this and [[MyInstinctsAreShowing headbutts]] him while saying the limit is only because Nathaniel's a [[{{Pun}} "kid."]]
* The news report's headline calls Reverser an "evil oreo."
* Chat Noir's reaction when Marigold says she has a plan:
-->'''Chat Noir:''' [[ThisIsGonnaSuck Oh no, a]] '''''[[ThisIsGonnaSuck plan]].'''''\\
'''Marigold:''' There, there Kitty. It'll be okay.\\
''[[[GilliganCut The bonus panel shows a blindfolded Chat being carried across a roof by Caprikid]]].''\\
'''Chat Noir:''' This is so '''''not okay, Marigold!'''''
* The first panel on the next page says that meanwhile, Marigold and Scarlet Lady took a taxi to get to the Eiffel Tower.
* Scarlet Lady begrudgingly summons a Lucky Charm at Marigold's urging, saying that it probably won't help. [[TheCuckoolanderWasRight She's proven right a few minutes later]] when Caprikid and Chat Noir manage to stop Reverser without it, which the caption even points out.
* When Reverser asks why Chat Noir isn't with the two girls:
-->'''Marigold:''' You made him a coward, [[DidntThinkThisThrough what did you expect?!]]
* Caprikid drops Chat Noir in order to save Marc, who worriedly asks about the Cat hero's safety [[FunnyBackgroundEvent while Chat's screaming can be seen in the background behind the speech bubbles]].
-->'''Caprikid:''' Eh, [[BlatantLies he's probably fine]].\\
'''Marigold:''' '''''[[OhCrap Use the cure, Scarlet!]]'''''
* As Caprikid tries to reassure Marc that Nathaniel will want to know them better and almost calls them by their name, Chat Noir interrupts (clearly a bit salty over the whole "being dropped mid-air" thing).
-->'''Chat Noir:''' Hey, '''''Caprikid,''''' hate to cut you off but we [[{{Pun}} "goat"]] to go. ''[in a lower voice]'' Don't give too much away, '''"kid."'''
* To apologize to Ziggy for the "downgrade" comment, Nathaniel draws a picture of both Ziggy and Caprikid together. Ziggy says they'll keep the drawing with them forever... [[ImmediateSelfContradiction while they're eating the drawing]].
-->'''Nathaniel:''' '''''GAH! DON'T EAT IT!'''''\\
'''Caption:''' Ziggy's a [[ExtremeOmnigoat goat]], I don't know what you expected.
* The first issue of "The Diary of Ladybug" is dedicated to Marinette. Nathaniel and Marc offer to put her in the comic "... as Multimouse. Or Maotif, if you prefer." Marinette waves them off with a face that's almost BlueWithShock as [[ClingyJealousGirl Pollen]] nearly has a fit in her purse. "That's very thoughtful, but I'd rather not," says Marinette.

[[folder:Party Crasher: Tales of Wayhem the Fun Guy]]
* When Master Fu, posing as Adrien's tutor, arrives at Agreste Manor, he asks if Adrien minds asking The Gorilla to put him down.
* Nino completely supports Kim's idea to crash Adrien's place while Gabriel is gone and fails to understand why Max and Ivan are so uneasy about it.
-->'''Caption:''' This has bad idea written all over it, guys.
* To Nathalie, if driving Gabriel's hologram is any different from driving the real Gabriel around, it's because it's more peaceful.
* When the guys are discussing skipping on tree-planting with the girls, [[CrazyPrepared Nino pulls out cards with ready-made excuses to send]].
-->'''Ivan:''' [[LampshadeHanging Why do you already have these?]]
* After the girls read aloud the various excuses the guys sent, Lila is the one who points out how they're all BlatantLies, and she and Sabrina laugh about how unconvincing the excuses are. This is soon followed by collective FlatWhat from the rest of the girls, with Lila making a hilarious face when she realizes only she and Sabrina spotted the lies.
-->'''Caption:''' Of course ''Lila'' would clock a lie '''immediately'''.
* When the guys get to the Manor, they manage to [[TheGuardsMustBeCrazy convince The Gorilla to let them enter]] by [[EveryManHasHisPrice bribing him with action figures]]. The fact that the guys had those action figures at the ready strongly hints that [[NoodleIncident this isn't the first time one of them had to bribe Adrien's bodyguard]].
* When Adrien tries to get them to leave, [[NotSoAboveItAll Fu is fully on board with joining the guys' hangout]].
-->'''Caption:''' Fu hasn't been out in a long time.
* In order to determine whether Lila was right, Marinette makes a group call. The guys don't pick up--which Marinette uses to confirm they're together. When she turns to look at the girls, all of them (yes, even [[NiceGirl Rose and Mylène]]) are sporting {{Battle Aura}}s and CrossPoppingVeins.
* Nino tells Adrien Marinette can't come over to the party because it's "No Girls Allowed!" When Adrien (with teary eyes) asks ''[[ArmorPiercingQuestion why]]'', Nino opts to ChangeTheUncomfortableSubject.
* Max turns on the music so high it can be heard from outside. Cut to outside the Mansion, where all the visibly ticked-off girls are now standing:
-->'''Marinette:''' [[LampshadeHanging They're practically]] '''''[[TooDumbToLive broadcasting]]''''' [[TooDumbToLive that they're ditching work.]]
* When Max reveals that the manor's energy supply can compete with a nuclear power station...
-->'''Adrien:''' [[ComicallyMissingThePoint My father always has to own the biggest and the best.]]\\
'''Max:''' No, I don't think you understand how '''''not normal this is.'''''
-->'''Caption:''' (Look, Max should've had a way more concerned reaction to this discovery)
* When The Gorilla won't let Marinette in, she has a message that leaves the camera eyestalk with a SweatDrop:
-->'''Marinette:''' Oh? Not letting me in? [[SugaryMalice That's fine, that's fine.]] If you could just leave a message for the slackers from us girls: '''''[[TranquilFury "We're going to make you all eat dirt."]]'''''\\
'''Caption:''' Just remember, you guys started it.\\
'''Tags:''' #it's freakin' ON!
* Roger, Sabrina's father, arrive at the manor because of a noise complaint, followed soon after by Adrien's photographer, who is there for a photo shoot appointment. Both of them get drawn into the impromptu party that's forming: while the photographer decides the party is the perfect backdrop for the photos, Roger's reason is that he got distracted because [[SeriousBusiness the guys were playing]] ''[[SeriousBusiness foosball]]'' '''[[SeriousBusiness the wrong way.]]'''
** Meanwhile the girls are still stuck outside and both times expect the party to put to an end, only to be frustrated when it doesn't and the adult in question just joins the party instead. They then get ''more'' pissed when they still aren't let in, even as a ''freaking line'' starts forming for people to join the party.
** The caption points out to the girls that they shouldn't be surprised [[AdultsAreUseless that they can't rely on adults to fix things]].
* Marinette pointing out how ridiculous it is that the guys, many of whom are dating the girls in their group, will let in complete strangers into the party as long as they're not a girl. Cue all the girls [[EurekaMoment glancing her way]] as Marinette asks why they're looking at her like that, not realizing she just gave her friends an idea. Alya immediately tells Juleka to call her brother Luka while calling her best friend a genius, much to Marinette's confusion.
* Meanwhile the boys are inside and decide it's time to head out: cue Jagged Stone (in his helicopter no less!) arriving to join the party along with several others (among them the guy with the banana suit and M. Damocles in his "The Owl" costume). [[ComicallyMissingThePoint Kim is excited as he declares, "the more the merrier,"]] as the rest of the guys (sans Adrien) have a collective OhCrap reaction to the party crashers.
* Poor Marinette [[GotVolunteered gets volunteered]] for the girls' plan have one of them dress as a boy and infiltrate the party, which involves putting on baggy clothes borrowed from Juleka and Luka along with his helmet and a fake mustache. [[AtrociousAlias Presto! Marino, Luka's band mate from school!]]
** Luka's general demeanor along with the following line shows exactly why he went along with being their "guy on the inside":
--->'''[[TheGadfly Luka]]''': This is gonna be hilarious.\\
'''Tags:''' #lukas just here to watch this all burn and laugh
** Once Marinette gets inside, Lila encourages her to "fight like a girl," just like Lila taught her. Marinette proceeds to lay on the guilt '''thick''' (while the guys give hilarious OhCrap expressions in response).
--->'''Marinette:''' ''[to Marc and Nathaniel]'' Man, I'm so glad to be out of that '''''heat!''''' I'd hate to be stuck out there while it's so sweltering, '''''you know?'''''\\
''[to Max and Nino]'' What a party! It'll be a '''''miracle''''' if M. Agreste doesn't hear about it!\\
''[singing]'' [[Music/NakedEyes You made me promises, promises, knowing I'd believe~ Promises, promises, you knew you'd never keep~]]\\
'''Luka:''' Girls fight '''''hard.'''''
* Master Fu's opinion of Kim:
-->'''Master Fu:''' ''[thinking]'' Certainly this boy is big of heart (and dumb of ass).
* When Gabriel gets the electricity to his lair shut off, he demands, "What the [[SymbolSwearing $%&#]] is going on in here on this day?!" He then transforms into Hawkmoth to find someone in the party to akumatize and make them restore power, except...
-->'''Hawkmoth:''' I don't feel strong negative emotions... just the usual general anxiety... I can only feel... Joy and happiness?! '''''Disgustang!''''' ''(sic)''
** The captions note that [[GaveUpTooSoon had Hawkmoth searched a little farther outside the manor]], he would've found a whole gaggle of infuriated girls who'd be ripe for akumatization.
** Hawkmoth finally settles for akumatizing Wayhem, {{sweatdrop}}ing as he does so:
--->'''Hawkmoth:''' ''[[AbusiveParents Who cares if it's a grudge against my own son?!]] [[SkewedPriorities I need electricity dammit!]]''
* Ivan has an absolutely ''hilarious'' face as he spirals about how out of control the party's gotten.
* The adults at the party find the "[[https://miraculousladybug.fandom.com/wiki/Stationation Stationation]]" vinyl disc and realize they have all the men needed to sing it save for the Mustachio'd Biker... so they ask Marino to join (with [[NotSoAboveItAll M. D'Argencourt and Officer Raincomprix]] being the most insistent). Marinette gets rid of her disguise to stop them.
* When Party Crasher [[DepartmentOfRedundancyDepartment crashes the party]], Alya begins filming.
-->'''Mylène:''' Do... do we '''''call''''' someone?\\
'''Lila:''' Who do we call? The cops are at the party.\\
'''Caption:''' [[PoliceAreUseless They'd be useless anyway.]]
* After finding a place to hide, Fu has a comical look on his face as he wipes his forehead and remarks what a close call that was (he had brought all the Miraculous with him to the Agreste Manor).
* How does Ziggy greet Nathaniel when Fu has the Kwami bring their respective Miraculous to the temporary heroes already at the party? [[CallBack With a headbutt]].
* When Fu gives out other Miraculous to Marigold and Chat Noir, he admits that all the other options (the girls) are outside. It then cuts to the girls. The ones who were temporary heroes want to join in based on their facial expressions, but they can't leave the group without compromising their identities.
* True to form, when Xuppu comes out, he and Kim begin to insult and blow raspberries at each other. Then, when the time comes to return the Miraculous, they're at it again.
-->'''Chat Noir''': Thank God this is only temporary.
* Party Crasher complaining about all the temp heroes, pointing out that Hawkmoth only wants the ring and the earrings and to go get Scarlet Lady. This prompts the girls (who are ''still'' stuck outside) to wonder where she is, causing Lila to tell Sabrina to "go nag Chloé to get her lazy BFF over here."
** Sabrina manages to do exactly this, somehow getting past all the hotel security and into Chloé's room.
** There's also the fact that while everything has been going on, Chloé has been ''across the street'' and didn't notice '''anything'''.
* When Scarlet Lady shows up and berates the others for being unable to defeat an akuma on their own, Chat Noir loudly tells Viperion to use Second Chance for ''when'' she screws the plan up. Their deadpan expressions just sell it.
* Pegasus starts the music, and Scarlet Lady begins to dance with her "world-class training" (a comment that makes Foxtrot give her an absolutely hilarious deadpan glare)... only for Party Crasher to catch her insultingly easily. Viperion's sigh before activating Second Chance just sells it.
* Marigold ''cries'' at Stompp and Ivan being such a wholesome pair right when she has to take the Kwami back.
* The guys literally grovel while apologizing as the girls look down on them with a CollectiveDeathGlare.
** Kim "volunteers as tribute" to appease the girls, insisting that it was entirely ''his'' fault that the boys ditched the girls. Somebody notes that his delivery sounds almost as though he's ''bragging'' about that.
** The guys have a group hug as they all say they're sorry and admit it was all their faults that they ditched work and let the party get out of control. Marinette sarcastically reminds them that they were supposed to be apologizing to the girls.
* The guys are put to work on the tree-planting they originally committed themselves attempting to skip out on it, all while under the watchful eyes of the girls. However, the author realizes there's one little loose end she forgot to tie up...
-->'''Tags:''' [[WhatHappenedToTheMouse #wait I forgot about wayhem O.O;]]
* Marinette finally learns she was Master Fu's original pick for the Ladybug Miraculous when he casually brings it up. It turns out Fu forgot to tell her.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Frozer: Tales of Philippe the Ice Skater]]
* The author repeatedly apologizes about the terrible art on the header.
* Like other episodes before, the titles are themed puns, this time around ice: "Be Chill My Beating Heart," "This Is Snow Joke," "All Hail Broke Loose," "Of Ice And Men," "Freeze The Day," "Cold As Ice," "Friends Or Froze?," "Chilled To Bits," "Ice Seeing You," "A Glacial Pace," "A Frigid Surface," "Freeze Things Happen," "All Dressed Up And Snowhere To Go," "Icy What You Did There," "A Cold Day In Hail," and "All Is Not Frost."
* When Chat Noir says he's 85% sure of Marigold's SecretIdentity, she complains... because she's only 75% sure. She then grumbles about losing the "game."
** Then he says he's so certain about it that he'll ask "her" out. While Marigold blushes, he teases her that she has to say yes since she's in love with him. Marigold hits him and calls him a smug dork with the most embarrassed look on her face while saying how he better say yes when ''she'' asks ''him''.
** The caption indicates Chat Noir is doing as a distraction from his problems:
--->'''Caption:''' Tease your way into forgetting your problems U_U
* The author warns in the tags that Adrien and Marinette will both be holding on to the IdiotBall in this episode.
-->'''Tags:''' #full disclosure: this episode only happens because I made them kinda stupid
* Plagg asks Adrien what will happen if Marigold is wrong about his identity. Adrien replies that Marigold will then go out with some other guy... and then he realizes the implications of that. Meanwhile, Marinette has [[StrangeMindsThinkAlike the exact same realization dawn on her]]. The narration helpfully marks them as idiots.
** If you pay attention, you can just make out the hint of a smile and AsideGlance as Plagg asks this and realize he's setting Adrien up to follow that train of thought. It's implied Pollen may have done something similar, but while she would've done out of innocent naiveté, Plagg most likely did it just to mess with his kid.
** Adrien and Marinette later face each other and [[SpeakInUnison simultaneously ask the other out]].
--->'''Caption:''' Luckily they're idiots who are correct, so, good for you two.
** While [[ShipperOnDeck everyone else]] cheers them on... Chloé's horrified/jealous face is absolutely ''hilarious''.
* The duo agrees to a date next Friday and are both happy that they have a date... which is when [[StrangeMindsThinkAlike both of them]] realize it would be their first date ''ever''. Cue both running to beg their friends for ideas.
** Adrien first asks Alya and Nino, who reminisce about Marigold locking them together during "Animan." He then asks Ivan and Mylène, with the latter mentioning how she fell in love with Ivan after reading the lyrics he wrote before his second akumatization. Next, he asks Marc and Nathaniel, who mention bonding over their love of fanfiction... ''after'' Marc's akumatization. So Adrien then turns to...
--->'''Adrien:''' '''''Juleka, please have a love story that doesn't involve akumas!'''''\\
'''Juleka:''' '''''KYAH!'''''
*** Juleka promptly reveals that Rose was the one that handled the romance part (while leaving out how she herself was ObliviousToLove for most of it), so Adrien briefly considers asking '''his father'''.
*** Then Luka suggests an idea... and offers to be there if Adrien needs help. Juleka quickly sends a message to Rose:
---->'''Juleka:''' ''[texting]'' Rose, Luka's being a self sacrificing idiot again.
** Meanwhile, Marinette decides to ask Kim, and on the next page, he and Ondine remind her that they were both akumatized before they started dating.
--->'''Marinette:''' Why are all my friends like this?!
*** The fact that Marinette is so desperate for ideas that she thought to ask ''[[ObliviousToLove Kim]]'' for advice.
*** Marinette is so distraught she begs ''Kagami'' for help... even more so after learning that Luka's going to be there as well!
* Kagami eventually agrees to tag along, but she reminds Marinette that she needs to pick a place. Ondine suggests the ice rink since there shouldn't be many people there. [[ComicallyMissingThePoint Kim agrees it is a great idea and not only suggests he and Ondine go as well]], [[FromBadToWorse he sends a message inviting all the other couples in the class to go]]. Ondine's face as she sees Kim's screw-up is perfectly deadpan.
-->'''Caption:''' This is quickly turning into a couple's field trip.
** Kagami, too, has a completely flat look. Marinette, meanwhile, {{sweatdrop}}s as she awkwardly goes along with it.
--->'''Marinette:''' Uh, the more, the merrier, I guess?
** Alya's motivation for going? [[DatePeepers She wants to witness Marinette's first date with Adrien.]] Nino is fully on board.
--->'''Nino:''' As if we '''''weren't''''' going to follow them.
** Rose happily gushes about inviting Juleka ("Ju-Ju"), [[SpannerInTheWorks oblivious that Chloé is spying on her and heard everything]].
* Mayor Bourgeois declares the ice rink is being "turned into a gym for ma chére fille—[[VerbalBackspace uh, for Paris.]]" He then briefly agrees with Philippe that attendance seems to be going up when Kagami, Luka, Marinette, and Adrien arrive, only to quickly try to walk back his words again when Chloé yells at him.
* Philippe questions why Chloé [[CrazyPrepared came to the rink wearing a skating outfit under her coat]] when she's the one attempting to shut the place down.
-->'''Caption:''' You have to dress the part, DUH!
* As Marinette and Kagami are putting on their skates...
-->'''Marinette:''' Sorry you gave up your Friday to third-- uh, 13th wheel. Please don't force yourself to stay for my sake.\\
'''Kagami:''' I'll stay. I mostly agreed because I thought [[ItAmusedMe it'd be funny to watch]].\\
'''Marinette:''' Uhh, thanks?\\
'''Caption:''' I would've come fore the spectacle of it all as well, Kagami.
* Kim and Ondine are the first on the ice. [[EpicFail Kim slips three seconds later]]. Philippe then offers skate lessons to him, [[ComicallyMissingThePoint only for Kim to ask if he can turn the rink into a pool]].
* When Luka [[ShipSinking shoots down]] Alya's inquiry of if he and Kagami are a couple, stating that he's not her type, Alya asks what the other girl's type is. Kagami bluntly replies, "Girls."
* [[TemptingFate Marc and Nathaniel are psyching themselves up to impress the other]]... only for Chloé to do her thing and push them to the ground, causing them to land in a pile.
-->'''Philippe:''' [[InnocentlyInsensitive You look like you could use some skate lessons!]]\\
'''Nathaniel:''' ''[{{flipping the bird}} at Philippe]'' I think '''''you''''' could use a lesson in '''''tact.'''''
* [[{{Determinator}} Philippe continues to harass the teens to offer them skating lessons]], prompting Nino to tell Alya that now he knows why no one else comes to this ice rink.
* Marinette and Adrien stumble around, and Adrien comments that at least [[TemptingFate they are only in front of their friends, not professional athletes]]. Cue Luka holding Kagami in the ''Dirty Dancing'' pose. Moreover, when Marinette asks how Kagami is so good at a sport she doesn't care about, Adrien reveals Kagami learned to skate after watching ''Anime/RanmaOneHalf'''s Skating Arc--much to Kagami's ire, because she told him that in confidence. (That arc has characters which are described [[Characters/RanmaOneHalfMajorStoryArcCharacters here]].)
* When Nino trips, Kim asks why Nino is falling when he's supposed to be a good ice skater. It's all but said that Nino is just [[ObfuscatingStupidity faking being bad]] so he has an excuse to hold Alya tightly.
-->'''Tags:''' Marinette is unimpressed with your schemes Nino
* Mylène is [[TemptingFate almost convinced to join skating classes]]... until she sees Chloé getting chased by Luka and Kagami.
-->'''Kagami:''' '''''If you don't stop [[CutYourHeartOutWithASpoon I'll use these skates]] [[ImpliedDeathThreat more creatively!]]'''''
* When Philippe sees Adrien:
-->'''Philippe:''' Why was I wasting my time on these normies when '''''he''''' was here?!\\
'''Rose:''' [[ImStandingRightHere Um, we can still hear you.]]
* Philippe then proceeds to be a MomentKiller by interrupting Adrien and Marinette just as they were blushing and remarking on the ContrivedCoincidence of them asking the other out on the same day--ironically, doing the same thing Chloé always does. He literally knocks Marinette down in his rush to get to Adrien.
* While it also crosses into TearJerker, there's something funny about seeing Mayor Bourgeois with tears streaming down his face over Chloé [[UngratefulBitch barely even showing any appreciation]] over him getting the rink closed down like she wanted.
* When Frozer shows up, Chloé has [[WingdingEyes stars in her eyes]] as she excitedly exclaims, "Akuma! Perfect timing!" Meanwhile, Adrien tells Marinette to hide somewhere safe while he goes to find help. Marinette {{lampshades}} the fact that he's doing it when they pretty much know each other's secret identities.
* Why does Chloé have an ice magic-aroon?
-->'''Tag:''' how did Chloe get the magic-aroons? Marigold handed them over through gritted teeth. For the greater good.
* Scarlet Lady realizes something's going between the Cat and Bee heroes but [[ObliviousToLove fails to realize they're flirting with each other]], instead just [[DramaticallyMissingThePoint dismissing it as them acting weird]].
* As Chat Noir and Marigold are skating away from Frozer...
-->'''Chat Noir:''' Time to activate your trap idea, [[AffectionateNickname Ma Princesse]][[note]]His nickname for ''Marinette''[[/note]]!\\

'''Marigold:''' ''[blushes [[LateToTheRealization as she realizes what happened]]''\\
'''Scarlet Lady:''' I used Lucky Charm while you were being weird.\\
'''Caption:''' Wrong nickname, [[SuddenlyShouting WRONG NICKNAME!!!!]]
* For once, [[{{Irony}} Scarlet seems to be more on task than the other two heroes]], though [[PragmaticVillainy for selfish reasons]]:
-->'''Tags:''' #meanwhile Chloe is speedingrunning this so she can get back to date ruining
* After the defeat of Frozer, Chat Noir goes for a fist bump with Marigold, but she stops him with a question.
-->'''Chat Noir:''' Bien--\\
'''Marigold:''' Ah, Chat-- um, Glacier Noir?\\
'''Chat Noir:''' ?\\
'''Marigold:''' ''[blushing]'' Why'd you call me princess?\\
'''Chat Noir:''' Oh! Uh--\\
'''Scarlet Lady:''' Isn't is obvious?\\
'''Chat Noir and Marigold:''' ''[both thinking, in shock]'' "Obvious"?! Does she know?!\\
'''Scarlet Lady:''' [[ComicallyMissingThePoint Cuz you have a tiara now, duuuuuuuh!]]\\
'''Chat Noir:''' ''[thinking]'' Bless up that she's slow.
* After Adrien endorses the rink, André realizes he won't be able to shut it down, but when Chloé states she doesn't care anymore, he gives a sigh of relief. Also, why doesn't Chloé care? Well, she just ruined Adrien and Marinette's date, there's no way they'll try again after that disaster! [[InstantlyProvenWrong Cue Adrien and Marinette lovingly embracing each other]] and Chloé's BigNo.
* Adrien and Marinette confess their love for each other in a romantic scene... [[DatePeepers which is being slightly ruined by their classmates]].

[[folder:Frightningale: Tales of Clara the Pop Star]]
* When Marinette asks Pollen for advice on what to do with Adrien, [[ObliviousGuiltSlinging not realizing how much pressure she's putting on her Kwami]], who knows Adrien ''is'' Chat Noir but can't tell her queen after Tikki drilled her on the importance of protecting the heroes' secret identities. Pollen tries to diplomatically reply that life is full of surprises, though Marinette doesn't let up.
-->'''Marinette:''' Pollen, please, I'm begging you for some '''''actual''''' advice!
* Adrien makes a funny, pouty face when he asks Plagg if the Kwami really thinks Adrien would love his partner Marigold any less even if she isn't Marinette.
* Adrien and Gabriel about the former playing Chat Noir for Clara's music video.

** Meanwhile, Plagg makes a BrickJoke about Chat Noir's tacky bell and says, "Oh no," as he glances at the mischievous look in Adrien's eyes over his bearer's shoulder.
* After Lila compliments Sabrina, the other girls all tease Lila about [[JerkWithAHeartOfGold secretly loving all of them]].
-->'''Lila:''' ''[seeing all the girls grinning at her]'' W-what?! What's that look for?!\\

'''Sabrina: ''Please stop talking.'''''\\

* When Clara trips and Marinette quickly moves to help her, the singer decides to ask her to play Marigold--still rhyming, much to Marinette's shock. Marinette tries to duck out of it, but Adrien keeps trying to get her to do it.
--->'''Adrien:''' You'd make a purrfect Marigold, Marinette.\\
'''Marinette:''' ''[thinking] Is he trying to get me in trouble? [aloud]'' That's so nice of you! But I came with my friends to be extras. I don't want to leave them.\\

'''Caption:''' ''[[DidntThinkThisThrough We're going to have SUCH a talk about this later!]]'' Wait, no we can't.
* Marinette's friends all hug her as they congratulate her for getting the part of Marigold and thus helping them secure roles as extras in the music video. None of them realize how uncomfortable Marinette is with all this.
* When Chloé shows up to the music video shoot wearing an exact replica of her Scarlet Lady costume, she gets a few comments about how [[DramaticIrony she looks nothing like the heroine]].
-->'''Tags:''' #[[YourCostumeNeedsWork 'she doesn't even LOOK like Scarlet Lady']] is my magnum opus lmao
* Clara flat-out tells Chloé that Scarlet Lady isn't featured in the video, so Chloé demands to know why they're excluding Scarlet Lady, [[IRejectYourReality THE Hero of Paris according to her]], from a video about the Heroes of Paris. Cue Lila sporting a BattleAura, ready to answer the question:
-->'''Lila:''' '''''FINALLY'''''... [[LargeHam My time has come!]]\\
'''Caption:''' Let's be real: if anyone was going to give Scar a Public Dressing Down, it was going to be Lila.
** Chloé makes some hilarious expressions throughout the whole exchange. She also asks why Lila has a list of the Ladybug heroine's failures already compiled on her phone.
** After Lila ''destroys'' the idea Scarlet Lady is a hero, Clara wonders if she's just that good at being a debater or a passionate hater... showing she also [[RhymesOnADime rhymes in her mind]].
** The crowd also echoes Lila's sentiment that Scarlet Lady is barely a hero at all, with someone from the crowd yelling, "Scarlet Lday ''sucks!''" The panel even labels it "Some Rando."
* Even after Chloé shows up wearing a Scarlet Lady costume without anybody suspecting she's the real deal, Marinette [[DramaticIrony remains worried]] about being exposed as Marigold. For the second time in the same episode, Pollen can't offer any real advice to her queen without outing the other heroes' identities. so the Kwami's response?
-->'''Pollen''': ''[AsideGlance]'' Hm, you think so? You'd be surprised.
* Clara Nightingale sees the costumed Adrien and Marinette interacting like the real Chat Noir and Marigold and [[EntertaininglyWrong thinks the two are just getting into character]]. She even praises them as [[DramaticIrony being perfect for the roles]].
* Of all stuff Mayor Bourgeois could have made up to prevent Clara from shooting her video, he went and chose [[ShoutOut "permit A38]] [[WesternAnimation/TheTwelveTasksOfAsterix as stipulated by circular B65."]]
** The author is quick to point out, in a follow-up post, that this reference is straight from dialog on the show. "So if anything, the '''show''' made the reference."
* When the temp heroines meet and try to hash out a plan to help Chat Noir and Marigold, Koki Marina asks the others if [[DramaticIrony they know about Kitty Section]]. Purple Tigress, Pigella, and Ultimutt quickly and cheerfully mention how much they love certain members of the group (read: Luka and their respective significant others).
* Naturally, Scarlet Lady is just happy that the "sidekicks" are keeping the akuma away from her. Sabrina and Lila filming her in the background with the most annoyed facial expressions sell it.
* Using Clara's weakness for music against her, the female team of new Miraculous heroes stage a girl band to trick Frightningale. She gets close to listen, against the advice of Hawkmoth.

* Fenice uses Sublimation to give herself the [[RhymesOnADime ability to always rhyme]]. Frightningale gets so annoyed at the fact that Fenice keeps on rhyming without getting tired that she [[ScrewThisImOuttaHere runs off]].
-->'''Frightningale:''' So annoying, give me a break! You're not who I'm after for goodness sake!
* Meanwhile, Scarlet Lady is annoyed at being stuck with Koki Marina in the latter's Shell-ter while Koki tries to calm herself down so she doesn't yell at Scar.
* After Lila returns the Miraculous, she asks if she could replace Scarlet Lady, but Orikko shoots that down.
-->'''Lila:''' With the Rooster able to have any power, don't you not '''''need''''' Scarlet Lady anymore?\\
'''Orikko:''' Sorry, but I can't grant the same power of another Kwami. [[CurseCutShort Tikki would beat my as--]]
** Then Lila tries to come up with a way to do that, wording it in different ways as Orikko keeps shutting her attempts down.
--->'''Narration''': I understand the struggle, Lila.
--->#We all wish we could replace [[HateSink Scarlet Lady]] Lila.
** A bemused Chat Noir eventually reminds the two that he needs to take Orikko back.

[[folder:Intermission 3]]
* Chat Noir had the idea of team building exercises, starting with having everyone patrolling in pairs. He's also wondering how it is that Marigold already has a list of pairs for the first outing.
* Marigold fills Lila in but gets distracted:
-->'''Lila:''' Okay, but could you stop cleaning up my room?\\
'''Marigold:''' Only if you stop living like this.
* Nino wonders if Koki Marina is following him and Alya online. Additionally, Foxtrot and Koki Marina declare that the other is the coolest person ever, aside from, [[DramaticIrony of course]], their respective significant others.
* King Monkey and Pegasus talk about their Kwamis; King Monkey compares Xuppu to "an annoying little brother", which Pegasus gives his condolences for. However...
-->'''King Monkey:''' What do you mean? He's the worst and I '''''love''''' him.
* Minotaurox and Ultimutt questioning how theirs and the other hero's tools can be used as phones and wonders if they can also play music.
* Since Fenice and Comousiner know each other's identities, when they meet on patrol, they greet each other in an [[OverlyPolitePals overly polite way]], as if they'd never met before "Frightningale"... before bursting into laughter.
* Fenice's faces as she bemoans that she hasn't figured out how to replace Scarlet Lady with the Rooster's powers or even the limitations of her power, lamenting, "Ahhhh, my life is harder than everyoneee's!"
* Caprikid ended up being alone in the exercise. He barely has the time to say that he was fine being alone before [[UnexpectedCharacter Bunnyx]] shows up with spray paint to keep him company.
** The author later specified this is actually ''canon'' Bunnix, visiting this timeline [[https://zoe-oneesama.tumblr.com/post/731382047400181760/as-someone-who-loves-the-rabbit-miraculous-i-love because she was bored]]. She leaves Char Noir with so many questions because the Guardian ''never'' gives out the Rabbit Miraculous. All she says is that if they never met her before, then they're doing everything right.
** Chat Noir's demand as Bunnyx is leaving:
--->'''Chat Noir:''' Hey! Come back and tell us who Hawkmoth is!

[[folder:Malediktator: Tales of André the Mayor]]
* Zoé meets Chloé, and it isn't going well until Zoé [[AchievementsInIgnorance asks a question]].
-->'''Zoé:''' Who's Marigold?\\
'''Chloé:''' There's hope for you yet! [[BondingOverDislikes We might just get along.]]\\
'''André:''' Phew.
* As Chloé details everything she knows about having minions, Zoé bemusedly compares her to their mother. Chloé [[DramaticallyMissingThePoint takes it as a compliment]].
* As the principal introduces Zoé to her classmates, he tells them "Please obey, ''I mean'', give her a warm welcome."
* Upon trying to ask Adrien what Zoé is like, Adrien reveals that this is his first time learning about her as well, causing his friends to wonder how he somehow didn't know his childhood friend had a sister.
* Chloé shows the class a video of her and Scarlet Lady speaking (only ever showing one of them at a time of course) and [[ButHeSoundsHandsome praising each other]], and Alya calls her out for expecting them to buy that bull. Chloé replies it's the real Scarlet Lady... and it turns out Alya ''believes'' that. What she really meant was that Chloé ''and'' Scar are liars for claiming Scar cleans up after Chat Noir and Marigold's messes. Meanwhile, Zoé squints in confusion as she watches the video and tries to figure out what the hell is happening.
* Chloé demands to know why no one is showing Scarlet Lady any respect. Marinette replies that Lila explained it at Clara Nightingale's audition. Lila offers to explain it again.
-->'''Marinette:''' [[DeadpanSnarker Once was plenty, thanks.]]
* Chloé turns to Zoé for ComplimentFishing. Zoé asks who Scarlet Lady is, which causes Chloé to make a ''[[GoblinFace horrified]]'' face.
-->'''Caption:''' Easy come, easy go when it comes to Chloe's affection, Zoe.
* Chloé's self-absorption is such that she sees nothing wrong with interrupting a wedding her father is officiating and ''pushing the bride, groom, and guests out of her father's office''.
* André asks why Chloé wants Zoé to be banished from Paris.
-->'''Chloé:''' She came all the way to Paris and didn't even know who '''''Scarlet Lady''''' was! The lack of patriotism!\\
'''André:''' ...[[DisappointedByTheMotive That's it?]]
* Chloé decides to leave for New York with Audrey because her father being the mayor is (to her) useless, and Audrey at least won't disrespect her. André asks his wife if it's true, only for Audrey to yell, "Ugh, ''obviously''!"... right before it's revealed [[BaitAndSwitchComment she's been on the phone the entire time and was actually yelling at an intern on the other end of a call]]. In fact, [[CaptainOblivious she doesn't seem to have even realized her husband asking her a question, nor does she appear to notice Chloé dragging her into a helicopter]].
** When the two leave in helicopter, André is distraught... while Hawkmoth expresses surprise that the mayor didn't crack much earlier.
** [[FunnyBackgroundEvent The hotel staff can be seen waving goodbye at the chopper]].
** Tikki obviously questions Chloé on why she's going to New York when there's Hawkmoth to fight, and Chloé answers she'll return... once Paris ''begs'' for Scarlet Lady to come back.
* Like in canon, practically everyone rejoices when Chloé announces she's leaving Paris. The celebratory mood ends when Zoé asks what they're celebrating, reminding them that "''she's'' still here." The page's caption even reads, "Every party needs a pooper that's why they invited you~."
** There's some humor in that Chloé's so deluded that she actually thinks the school will be sad to see her go (or at least more envious that she gets to New York than relieved they won't have to endure her presence).
** Principal Damocles can be seen hugging a teacher while [[FormerFriendOfAlphaBitch Sabrina]] and Lila hug each other.
* When the helicopter lands, Audrey barks, "Claudette! This isn't my office!" It goes to show that Audrey is [[CaptainOblivious in her own world]] and that Chloé had zero chance of getting her to leave Paris before the fashion show, even if Malediktator didn't intervene.
* When Chloé sees her parents kissing, she reacts with an '''''[[ParentalSexualitySquick EW!]]'''''.
* Chloé's main worry after sneaking away to transform? [[SkewedPriorities That she's going to have to do it in a rank subway.]]
* A bonus panel shows Scarlet Lady upset at her father for having a tantrum when she has to figure out what to wear to the fashion show.
* Zoé gets her first taste of an average day in Paris. First, her stepfather, turned into an akuma, orders everyone to tear the school down, which they gleefully begin doing, and before she can ask Marinette or Adrien what the hell is going on, she notices that [[StealthHiBye the two of them have already vanished]].
* Malediktator makes Chat Noir behave like a cat, believing it'd become easy to take the latter's Miraculous. [[HoistByHisOwnPetard Instead, Chat Noir viciously hisses at Malediktator when the akuma gets close.]] A bonus panel later shows [[KindheartedCatLover Audrey wanting Chat Noir as a pet]], which Malediktator actually ''acquiesces'' to, at least for a short while.
-->'''Audrey:''' ''[playing with Chat Noir]'' Please, Malediktatorkins, can't we keep him just a little longer?\\
'''Malediktator:''' ''[sighing]'' Well, if it makes you happy.
* After Marigold saves her, Zoé kindly thanks her. Marigold, who saw Zoé acting like and defending her AlphaBitch sister earlier, is confused at the complete change in attitude and assumes that she's only being respectful to suck up to a superhero.
* When Scarlet Lady tries to blame Zoé for causing Malediktator, saying it's because Zoé didn't defned the heroine in class earlier, Zoé hits her RageBreakingPoint. The Ladybug heroine is caught quite off guard when Zoé mentions how ubiquitous superheroes are in New York and left at a loss for words when Zoé asks how the incident in the classroom has anything to do with André.
* Scarlet Lady, unlike Marigold, eagerly accepts Zoé's offer to help because she can't reveal that the supposed safe place "she took Chloé to" isn't actually real.
* Just like in canon, the Lucky Charm takes the form of a freaking ''rocket launcher''. Zoé nervously asks that the heroes not kill her stepdad, to which Marigold assures her that they don't use such violent methods. [[JerkassHasAPoint Scarlet Lady then has a flashback to all the times they defeated akumas by just throwing the Lucky Charm at them or using other violent methods (such as when Multimouse bit the Puppeteer)]].
-->'''Caption:''' [[{{Hypocrite}} Your track record says different.]]
* It disgusts both Chloé and Zoé seeing how their mother behaves under Malediktator's power.
-->'''Audrey:''' Aww, honeypie, we'll be so happy together! Come to mommy, Zoé!\\
'''Scarlet Lady:''' Disgusting.\\
'''Zoé:''' [[WeWantOurJerkBack Please turn Mom back to normal.]] She's creeping me out.\\
'''Malediktator: ''Never!'''''
* While under the influence of Malediktator's powers, Chat Noir has a CatSmile when he [[CatsLoveLaserPointers notices the laser pointer]] and pounces at one of the guards.
* After his deakumatization, Mayor Bourgeois is impressed that Zoé has already learned how to control her half-sister. Meanwhile, Audrey is only concerned about losing a whole day on her schedule.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Style Queen: Tales of Audrey the Fashion Critic]]
* Gabriel's show is beginning, with people walking down the red carpet... and Marinette begins to have one of her catastrophe spirals while Pollen {{sweatdrop}}s:
-->'''Marinette:''' This is the ugliest hat in the world and I'm forcing Adrien to wear it and he'll resent me for the rest of his life, I have zero talent and everyone is about to find out--
* Pollen cheers Marinette up, and Marinette asks her Kwami when she became so wise.
-->'''Pollen:''' Through your guidance, I've learned when to be proactive and when to hold back, My Queen! [[IllNeverTellYouWhatImTellingYou I haven't even let slip that]] [[SayingTooMuch I know Chat Noir or Scarlet Lady's identities]]--\\
'''Marinette:''' '''''[[FlatWhat What?]]'''''\\
'''Pollen:''' '''[[OhCrap Oh no.]]''' Tikki's going to '''''end''''' me.
* The fashion spread offers gems such as [[BrickJoke Prince Ali with Rose and Juleka on his arms]], Lila acting like a supermodel while Ivan and Mylène look at her worriedly, [[LesYay Aurore posing next to Kagami]], and Ondine blushing as Clara Nightingale asks her if Gabriel made her dress (it was actually Marinette).
* As Audrey and Chloé make their way on the red carpet, they keep firing people--even those they have no business in firing.
** One of Audrey's demands was a ''marble red carpet''.
** Roger makes a WTF face as Audrey and Chloé "fire" him (since it's already been established that even Mayor Bourgeois doesn't have the authority to do that).
* Chloé brings a present for Audrey... who rejects it because the wrapping is "ridiculous, '''utterly''' ridiculous." Zoé then [[BatmanGambit tricks her mother]] into accepting the gift and sticks her tongue out while looking away.
--->'''Zoé:''' I'll take it then, Chloé. Since mom doesn't like "new" things.\\
'''Chloé:''' Huh?\\
'''Audrey:''' What'd you say?! I am the '''''discoverer''''' of new things! Give me that!\\
'''Chloé:''' Yay!\\
'''Zoé:''' ''[thinking]'' Sucker! You're welcome, Chloé.
* Marinette's surprise at how different Nathalie looks with her hair down.
* Adrien is in his dressing room, nervously feeling like a dork. Plagg is less than helpful by [[BrutalHonesty pointing out how he looks like one, too]]. Marinette then arrives to deliver the hat she made and rambles over how it's no good, even apologizing for forcing him to wear it. Adrien doesn't care, though, as seeing his girlfriend all dolled up instantly puts him at ease.
** Adrien models Marinette's hat, complimenting her on her skills and reassuring her that it looks great. He also points out that Gabriel, who has impossible standards, picked it himself. The two start slipping into full-tilt flirt mode when Nathalie needs to point out something:
---> '''Nathalie''': {{Ahem}}. [[GetARoom I am, in fact,]] [[MomentKiller still here children.]]
--->'''[=Adrien/Marinette=]''': ''[Embarrassed]'' Ah! Um...

* Scarlet's attempt to make "Clumsinette" look bad by refusing to help completely backfires when the latter instead ''immediately'' snaps into Heroine Mode and takes charge of the situation.
* In the seventh panel of part 6, the akuma hovers behind Scarlet Lady, asking if she's going to try to capture it. When she doesn't, the akuma says goodbye and flutters away in the next panel.

* Marinette's unimpressed expression when Alya [[https://zoe-oneesama.tumblr.com/post/182790688664/its-not-good-to-suppress-your-true-feelings gushes about Scarlet Lady]], only to snap into a flowery smile when Alya glances back.
* Adrien discovers just how much he's been holding back:
-->'''Natalie:''' Adrien! Don't do this! Your father will be furious!\\
'''Adrien:''' ''[thinking] I let myself be bossed around yesterday, but no more! Tell them what you really think!''\\
'''Adrien:''' ''[out loud]'' TELL HIM [[PrecisionFStrike F@$% YOU!!!]]\\
'''Natalie:''' ?!\\
'''Adrien:''' ''[thinking] Maybe I've been holding in more than I thought.''\\

* Chloé's blank expression when [[https://zoe-oneesama.tumblr.com/post/182855950174/gawd-adrien-dont-you-know-where-the-focus-is Adrien praises Chat Noir]]. It's followed by her ''trying'' to compliment the cat and [[BloodFromTheMouth spitting blood]] from the effort.
* Sabrina's inner thoughts as Chloé starts gushing to her about Scarlet Lady reveal that [[https://zoe-oneesama.tumblr.com/post/182946977619/dont-get-too-excited-guys-episode-2-part-3 she's more relieved that this means]] her friend's distracted from her original plans:
-->'''Sabrina:''' ''[thinking] I don't know why Chloé's so into Scarlet Lady... [sweating as she glances away guiltily] [[PragmaticVillainy But at least now I don't have to touch chewed gum!]] You're welcome, Marinette.''
* When Stoneheart [[https://zoe-oneesama.tumblr.com/post/183103967199/at-least-one-of-these-heroes-is-paying-attention pitches Marinette]], Mayor André and Chat Noir are both ''horrified''... while Scarlet Lady dispassionately examines her nails. The mayor and Chat Noir soon notice the Ladybug heroine's lack of concern and just stare at her in shock.
* Marinette's reaction to Chat Noir catching her and calling her "Princess": one panel of sparkly-eyed admiration followed by squinting and a flat "Princess?"
* Alya's teary-eyed commentary in the bonus:
-->'''Alya:''' ''[typing]'' Scarlet Lady is rushing to the Eiffel Tower to deal with the akuma, a complete professional decision that I 100% stand behind and I'm definitely not bitter about.
* Hawkmoth's communication through the butterflies is [[https://zoe-oneesama.tumblr.com/post/183174797289/tensions-are-pretty-high-as-you-can-see-episode depicted as a latch-mouthed]], ovaloid VideoGame/PacMan. The page is tagged, [[HashtagForLaughs "#Waka Waka Waka Hawkmoth."]]
* As Chat Noir goes starry-eyed over Marinette's [[ShutUpHannibal rebuke]], you can see that she's [[FlippingTheBird flipping Hawkmoth off]]. [[AmazonChaser He was gone]] the moment she told the villain to go [[PrecisionFStrike fuck himself]].
* Nathaniel and Ivan [[FunnyBackgroundEvent scoot away from Marinette]] as she [[https://zoe-oneesama.tumblr.com/post/183436865534/get-rekt-episode-2-part-9-first-previous gleefully waits for Chloé]] to show up. Marinette even has a pair of devil horns with a CheshireCatGrin!
* The fact that Chloé is the most upset by Marinette [[ITakeOffenseToThatLastOne insulting her ponytail]] in her TheReasonYouSuckSpeech. Sabrina even lampshades this.
* Marinette and Adrien [[BondingOverDislikes bond]] [[https://zoe-oneesama.tumblr.com/post/183593974689/justplay-in-the-rain-while-you-read-this-to over their mutual hatred of Scarlet Lady]].

[[folder:Stormy Weather: Tales of Aurore the Weather Girl]]
* Tikki rejects Chloé's offer of tiny chocolates, insisting that she [[TrademarkFavoriteFood only eats cookies]]. The Kwami follows this with a moment of consideration before adding, "''Dupain-Cheng'' cookies only," while [[https://zoe-oneesama.tumblr.com/post/183637802834/you-just-like-mireille-because-she-wears-her upending the chocolate plate like a cat]].
* Adrien fantasizes about doing the photo-shoot with Marinette... only for Vincent to pick Alya. Adrien's face is hilarious, as is Alya's reaction:
-->'''Alya:''' [[SarcasmMode Whoa, curb your enthusiasm.]] Dick.
* Alya tries to cheer Adrien up by pointing to the approaching Marinette, telling him, [[TemptingFate "The perfect girl for the job is right over there"]]... right before Chloé arrives and shoves Marinette aside.
-->'''Adrien:''' Why can things never just be nice.
* Aurore [[https://zoe-oneesama.tumblr.com/post/183922938949/adrien-cant-catch-a-break-agreste-episode-3-part furiously ranting to Hawkmoth]] while the caption berates her to not [[CommonalityConnection bond]] with the supervillain:

'''Hawkmoth:''' Ah, yes, I agree. Which is why--\\
'''Aurore:''' And she never dresses professionally! Is she gonna give the report in her pajamas?!\\
'''Hawkmoth:''' Ugh. Nothing worse than a sloppy-looking crew.\\
'''Aurore:''' Thank you!!!
* Vincent is unimpressed by [[https://zoe-oneesama.tumblr.com/post/183997570409/frostbite-is-nothing-to-worry-about-right Chloé's attempt to horn in on HIS photo shoot]]:
-->'''Chloé:''' Do you know who you're talking to?!\\
'''Vincent:''' ''[glances down]'' An idiot who wears white pants to the park?
* After Vincent declares that he's already chosen Alya as a model while the two of them smirk at an infuriated Chloé... only to both develop BlankWhiteEyes in the fraction of a second they have to react to being frozen solid by Stormy Weather.
* When Marinette asks Aurore [[ArmorPiercingQuestion why she's at the park]], Aurore responds by saying she's now Stormy Weather... followed by a beat as she wonders ''why'' she came to the park:
-->'''Stormy Weather:''' Wait, why '''''did''''' I come here? It's just balloons.
* Stormy Weather asks Marinette whom she voted for; Marinette answers Aurore. Then Manon [[TooDumbToLive jumps in to say she voted for Mireille]]. Marinette glares at the little girl while Stormy Weather [[WouldHurtAChild aims her weapon at Manon]]. The author notes that considering who [[GoingForTheBigScoop Manon's]] [[IntrepidReporter mother]] is, lack of self-preservation probably runs in the family.
-->'''Caption:''' Should've kept that one to yourself Manon.
* Marinette [[FailedASpotCheck completely misses]] Adrien transforming into Chat Noir right behind her.
* When Tikki tells Chloé she needs to transform, Chloé for once immediately agrees with her. [[HopeSpot Tikki thinks she's finally managed to get Chloé to think selflessly...]] only to get her hopes crushed when Chloé makes it clear [[PragmaticVillainy she's only acting because Stormy Weather ruined her "date" with Adrien]].
* Chat Noir's response to Scarlet Lady declaring that Stormy Weather ruined her date:
-->'''Chat Noir:''' Someone wants to date you?
** Scarlet Lady attempts to throw her yo-yo at Stormy... [[EpicFail and it lands barely a meter away from her]]. Chat Noir struggles not to crack up laughing.
** After her yo-yo attack fails, Scarlet tries to ChangeTheUncomfortableSubject by ordering her partner to defeat the akuma. It doesn't quite work.
-->'''Scarlet Lady:''' ''[blushing]'' Well, hurry up and take her out!\\
'''Chat Noir:''' ''[barely stifling a laugh]'' Omigod, you're so useless.
* Doubles as [[SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome Awesome]], but Stormy Weather quickly [[CurbStompBattle curb-stomps]] both heroes and even caps it all off with a FlawlessVictory pose. Scarlet even cries, [[RunningGag "My hair!"]] as she's being tossed into the fountain and is later seen completely unconscious.
* Marinette is forced to just sit on the park bench and wait for Stormy Weather to get deakumatized, all while Master Fu [[StalkerWithoutACrush secretly watches her from behind a nearby tree]]. Marinette then suddenly yells in frustration, startling Fu as well.
* Chat Noir finds the sight of Alec Cataldi frozen in a block of ice to be [[NoSympathy strangely satisfying]] despite not even knowing the host had rigged the weather girl contest.
* The Lucky Charm is a towel. Scarlet Lady proclaims that it's perfect, and [[HopeSpot Chat Noir is surprised she actually has a plan for once]]... only to then see her use it to dry off her hair.
* Chat Noir just can't resist making puns. When he's just forced Stormy Weather to land:
-->'''Chat Noir:''' You're grounded, Stormy Weather.\\
'''Stormy Weather:''' [[LamePunReaction Omigod, no. Just end me please.]]\\
'''Tags:''' #stormy there's going to be puns you've got to accept that fact
* After Stormy Weather is defeated, Alya still shivers a bit from being frozen solid.
* When the photo-shoot restarts, Chloé attempts to shoehorn herself in as Adrien's partner, only for The Gorilla to grab her, put her to the side, push Marinette forward in her place, and give Marinette and Adrien a thumbs up while the bodyguard's charge sports a shit-eating grin. The Gorilla even does all this without changing his expression.
* Aurore begins to apologize to Mireille for not [[GracefulLoser handling her loss gracefully]]... only for Mireille to beg ''her'' to be the weather girl instead. It turns out Mireille tweeted out that the results were rigged, and Alec now has to deal with a flood of calls from Aurore's angry fans. Aurore even gives a FlatWhat when she learns this.

[[folder:Bubbler: Tales of Nino the Party Planner]]
* Marinette glances at her photo with Adrien taken at the end of "Stormy Weather" and wishes him happy birthday... which is followed by a DescriptionCut of a tired Adrien with bags under his eyes, {{faceplant}}ing into his breakfast while dozing off at the table.
-->'''Nathalie:''' Good morni-ADRIEN!\\
'''Caption:''' Tell it to my eye bags, Nathalie.
* Adrien asks about having a party:
-->'''Adrien:''' Did Father say anything about having a party?\\
'''Nathalie:''' He... doesn't think it's a good idea.\\
'''Adrien:''' [[ArmorPiercingQuestion But... why?]]\\
'''Nathalie:''' [[BecauseISaidSo BECAUSE-!]]\\
''[{{beat}}]''\\
'''Adrien:''' You got nuthing.
* Chloé lets out a BigWhat as Nino wishes Adrien a happy birthday, frightening the two guys. She's then seen throttling Sabrina by the collar, causing her friend to [[GivingUpTheGhost give up the ghost]].
* Adrien getting down on one knee when Marinette gives him coffee and cookies. And right after [[InstantlyProvenWrong Chloé declared he wouldn't touch those gifts]], too.
* Nathalie looks around and does some NotSoInnocentWhistling as she takes Marinette's gift for Adrien and prepares to pass it off as being from Gabriel.
* Mr. Agreste's opinion of Nino as "fashion trash."
* Adrien's response to his father not only refusing to let him have a party but also banning Nino from the house? He announces that [[NonconformistDyedHair he will dye his hair green]], causing his father to have an ''epic'' JawDrop. The following day, [[BrickJoke Adrien's revealed to have in fact gone through with it]].
* While getting akumatized, Nino commenting on how Hawkmoth seems out of breath:
-->'''Nino:''' No, seriously, you sound like a geriatric. Like ''[[DramaticIrony Adrien's pops]]'' [[MoreInsultingThanIntended old]].\\
'''Hawkmoth:''' ''[CrossPoppingVeins]''
* Marinette finds herself [[VillainHasAPoint accidentally agreeing with The Bubbler]] about how unfair it is that Gabriel refuses to even let Adrien have a birthday party.
* Adrien battles between having the first birthday party of his life (and leaving the akuma to Scarlet Lady) or doing the responsible thing as Chat Noir:
-->'''Narration:''' [[NotSoAboveItAll He choose party.]]
* What ultimately spurs Chloé into action? The Bubbler allowing [[GreenEyedMonster Marinette and Adrien to share a slow dance together]] (when ''[[HoistByTheirOwnPetard she]]'' [[BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor requested a slow dance song]], no less).
-->'''Tikki''': Chloé! The '''''Bubbler!'''''\\
'''Chloé:''' Would you buzz off?! Wait until '''''after''''' my dance with-- ''[sees Adrien dancing with Marinette]'' '''''Adrien?!''''' This akuma must be stopped!\\
'''Tikki''': Oh Lord.
* In the bonus strip, Alix dances with Max... who doesn't have his glasses because The Bubbler captured his mother while she was cleaning them. He mentions that he wouldn't know who he was talking to if it weren't for the hair.
* Seeing Scarlet Lady about to fight The Bubbler, [[TemptingFate Adrien thinks that it should be funny to watch the heroine take on a villain by herself for once]]... right before [[BerserkButton he sees Marinette get bubbled and sent into the atmosphere as well]]. Adrien is ''so'' infuriated by this that he nearly ''transforms out in the open''. Plagg has to remind him to find a place to hide first.
* [[BigDamnHeroes Chat Noir saves a distracted Scarlet Lady from being bubbled by tackling her to the ground.]] Unfortunately, the Ladybug heroine [[UngratefulBitch isn't the least bit grateful about it]].
-->'''Scarlet Lady:''' ''[pinching Chat Noir's nose]'' Get off me!! [[RunningGag You better not have messed up my hair!!]]\\
'''Chat Noir:''' Ow! Ugh, if I didn't need your Lucky Charm...\\
'''Caption:''' Dammit, Chat Noir, NOW people are going to [[ShippingGoggles SHIP IT]]!
* The author notes that one of the panels shows Chat Noir's rear.
-->'''Tags:''' #I call this the butt page
* Scarlet Lady finally summons Lucky Charm, which takes the form of a large spanner... and then just nonchalantly hands it over to her partner.
-->'''Scarlet Lady:''' Lucky Charm or whatever.\\
'''Chat Noir:''' Wow, curb your enthusiasm\\
'''Scarlet Lady:''' ''[catching and tossing the spanner to Chat Noir]'' Here you go.\\
'''Chat Noir:''' [[YouHaveGotToBeKiddingMe Seriously?!]]\\
'''Caption:''' Do you care about ANYTHING once your spectators are gone Scarlet?
** Chat Noir manages to use the Lucky Charm... by [[CuttingTheKnot throwing it at The Bubbler and hitting him in the head with it]].
** He later has to carry both the passed-out Bubbler and the Lucky Charm spanner down from the Eiffel Tower and bring them to Scarlet Lady (who apparently spent the entire fight examining her nails despite her costume covering her entire hand) so she can cast the Miraculous Cure.
* [[ComicallyMissingThePoint Hawkmoth praises Scarlet Lady for cleverly staying away from the fight to protect her earrings]]. The truth, of course, is that [[EntertaininglyWrong Scarlet Lady is just too lazy to actually participate in fights]].
* Nathalie nervously tries to pass Marinette's present off as Gabriel's, even appearing in front of Adrien with a disheveled look as an arrow point at her says, "Totally didn't run." Adrien then skeptically looks at his wrapped birthday gift and wonders if it's stationary to go with the pens he's gotten in the past.
-->'''Nathalie:''' I DON'T KNOW they were '''''nice''''' pens!
* Marinette is so ''[[BerserkButton furious]]'' that Gabriel forgot his own son's birthday that she prevents Alya from explaining that Gabriel's present to Adrien was really from Marinette.

[[folder:Lady Wifi: Tales of Alya the Journalist]]
* When Mme. Bustier asks Sabrina where Adrien and Chloé are, we see a cutaway of the two fighting a monster. Well, ''Chat Noir'' is and wrapped up in its tentacle; Scarlet Lady, meanwhile, is preoccupied with putting on lipstick as she sits out the fight.
-->'''Sabrina:''' Uhhh... ''[[[DescriptionCut cutting to the pair, then back to her]]]'' ... Bathroom?
** Chat Noir can be seen SymbolSwearing, but it's hard to tell whether it's at the akuma or his partner for ignoring him just to apply lipstick.
** The best part? Mme. Bustier doesn't swallow the lie because she knows Chloé would ''never'' willingly enter a public bathroom.
** When Sabrina later asks about where Chloé is, Alya [[BrickJoke suggests she has IBS]].
* When Alya spots Marinette with a spotted yo-yo, she instantly suspects her to be Scarlet Lady, getting [[WingdingEyes starry eyes]] and crying, "Le gasp!"
** Alya then drags a comically confused Sabrina out of the room and has [[WingdingEyes hearts in her eyes]] as she exclaims how Marinette must be Scarlet Lady.
** After hearing Alya's theory, Sabrina's blank expression just screams, "Nope, don't want any of this," and she passes the buck onto Nino.
-->'''Caption:''' Sabrina can only handle a very specific kind of crazy, Alya, and you don't qualify.
* Alya tells Nino her theory. Nino says she's nuts because there's no way [[NiceGirl Marinette]] could be [[NominalHero Scarlet]] [[AlphaBitch Lady]]. Unfortunately, [[ComicallyMissingThePoint Alya doesn't quite get it]].
-->'''Nino:''' You're nuts.\\
'''Alya:''' Are you saying Marinette can't be a hero?!\\
'''Nino:''' Noooo, but have you ever actually met Scarlet Lady? She's kind of a b***h. Should have seen the way she talked to Chat after I woke up.\\
'''Alya:''' [[SustainedMisunderstanding Marinette would never! She's the nicest person we know!]]\\
'''Nino:''' I know, which is exactly why she couldn't possibly be Scarlet Lady.\\
'''Caption:''' Okay, but do you have ''evidence'' that Scarlet Lady is a shrew Nino?\\
'''Tags:''' #not everyone is as woke as Nino
* Nino suggests just asking Marinette about the spotted product. Alya tries to via a phone call but only gets her voice mail.
-->'''Alya:''' Well I tried, only one thing to do...\\
'''Nino:''' [[StatingTheSimpleSolution Ask her in the morning?]]\\
'''Alya:''' ''[[[WingdingEyes starry-eyed]]]'' [[PersonalSpaceInvader Break into her locker!]] We exchanged combos anyway.\\

* Chloé's [[BigWhat reaction when]] Sabrina tells her Alya's theory about Marinette being Scarlet Lady. Chloé's is visibly frightened while Tikki has a knowing expression and mischievous CheshireCatGrin at her holder's FreakOut.
* After finishing her project and getting started on her homework, Marinette decides that she should probably stop talking to herself.
-->'''Caption:''' Gee Marinette, it's almost as if something is ''missing''.
* Sabrina asks Chloé if she really wants to spy on Alya just for ''daring'' to think Marinette is Scarlet Lady. Chloé confirms she does and states Sabrina doesn't understand how important it is to her. Which, yeah, Sabrina pouts she ''doesn't'', mainly because she doesn't ''know'' Chloé ''is'' Scarlet Lady.
* Chloé melodramatically exclaiming how Alya invading Marinette's privacy robbed Marinette of her "soul" and corrupted her "essence" baffles everyone and causes them to {{sweatdrop}}.
** The caption details, "Chloe had to go to the bathroom after to [[BloodFromTheMouth cough up blood]] after ''defending'' Marinette Dupain-Cheng."
** Later, Kim and Sabrina are both confused by why Chloé would get Alya suspended for looking inside Marinette's locker, with Sabrina admitting that while she can usually follow Chloé's ([[ItsAllAboutMe twisted]]) logic, even that doesn't explain why she'd demand such a hars punishment for someonw who didn't even do anything to her.
* A bonus panel reveals Marinette slept in and is late for class. "I'm sure you didn't miss much," the caption replies.
* When Hawkmoth goes to akumatize Alya, Alya tells him about Marinette being Scarlet Lady... and he doesn't know who Marinette is. Funny 'cause, well, alternate timeline and all.
* Adrien's reaction when Nino tell him Alya's theory. Poor guy looks like he's about to faint.
* When Lady Wifi makes a transmission from M. Damocles's office and Marinette instantly recognizes she's Alya, Nino asks how she can tell despite the fact Lady Wifi ''clearly'' looks and talks like Alya.
** Marinette then gives Nino a "Really dude?" expression, and she sarcastically states it's "because of the phone charm." Nino just replies, "Whoa, you're right," [[SarcasmBlind not noticing his friend's sarcasm]].
--->'''Caption:''' [[SarcasmMode Yes it was definitely the]] ''[[SarcasmMode phone charm]]'' [[SarcasmMode and not her look, powers, or personality. The]] '''[[SarcasmMode phone charm]]''' [[SarcasmMode was the dead give away]] '''[[SarcasmMode for sure]]]'''.
** Look closely and you can see that it's taking Adrien an impressive amount of restraint to not burst out laughing at this.
* Plagg teases Adrien about liking Scarlet Lady if she really ''is'' Marinette, causing Adrien to sob at the thought of it being true. Plagg naturally knows that isn't the case [[TheGadfly but is having too much fun at Adrien's expense]].
-->'''Caption:''' The shortsightedness is rampant in this show.
* Meanwhile Tikki is angry at Chloé for what she did, only for Chloé to tell her to buzz off, feeling she's justified in stopping Alya from spreading a "ridiculous" rumor that Marinette could be Scarlet Lady. Apparently, Chloé is so self-centered and ditzy, she's forgotten that she got the Miraculous by stealing it from Marinette in the first place; she even tunes out Tikki when the Kwami attempts to remind her.
* Adrien goes to Marinette's place as Chat Noir, knowing Lady Wifi will head there. He starts to FreakOut when he sees Marinette with the mask and the yo-yo, but then Scarlet Lady shows up shortly after:
-->'''Scarlet Lady:''' Are you serious?! You think '''''she''''' could be '''''me?!'''''\\
'''Chat Noir:''' ''[thinking]'' Oh thank God.
* [[OhCrap Both Scarlet Lady and Chat Noir's reactions]] when they see Lady Wifi teleport Marinette away. Yeeeah, kinda forgot they were there to ''protect'' Marinette from her.
-->'''Caption:''' [[SarcasmMode You guys were very helpful, thank you for your contribution.]]
* All of Marinette's attempts to tell Lady Wifi that she isn't Scarlet Lady fall flat.
-->'''Marinette:''' I'm '''''not''''' Scarlet Lady.\\
'''Lady Wifi:''' '''''[[ComicallyMissingThePoint Obviously]]''''' you'd say that.\\
'''Marinette:''' I don't even '''''like''''' Scarlet Lady.\\
'''Lady Wifi:''' [[SustainedMisunderstanding Girl, we gotta work on your self esteem.]]\\
'''Caption:''' Alya, sometimes I feel like you're not ''hearing'' me.
* Lady Wifi claims that Marinette is Scarlet Lady in front of the whole city, which Marinette doesn't even fight over and is more embarrassed about, meekly waving to the camera and stating she isn't really.
* When Scarlet Lady and Chat Noir confront Lady Wifi at the hotel, the akuma does a few double-takes before deciding she'll rip Scarlet Lady's mask off her face after the Ladybug heroine insults her.
-->'''Caption:''' The ability to switch targets quickly is the mark of a true reporter (I guess).
* When seeing her own phone among the ones Lady Wifi has amassed, [[VerbalBackspace Scarlet Lady almost says, "My phone," before switching to "Chloé Bourgeois's phone."]]
* Marinette can be seen hugging a ladybug plushie (probably Chloé's) while grumbling that Alya dragged her all the way to the hotel and broadcasted her allegedly being Scarlet Lady to all of Paris, only to ditch her when teh heroes showed up.
-->'''Marinette:''' Alya, you're lucky I'm '''''not''''' a super hero cuz I'd yo-yo you in the face.
* Lady Wifi declares she'll take Scarlet Lady's earrings and give them to Marinette, proclaiming she'll be a much better hero. Chat Noir is actually ''[[ActuallyAGoodIdea on board]]'' with that idea, only to trip due to not seeing where he's running. [[TemptingFate Scarlet Lady starts to mock him]]... and likewise trips as well.
* When Lady Wifi has Scarlet Lady pinned down and tries to take off the latter's mask, Chat Noir comes in to save her, causing the akuma to think the two are romantically involved. Scarlet Lady ''instantly'' kicks her in the face for that while viciously denying anything of the sort in a WallOfText.
* When Hawkmoth tries to get Lady Wifi to take Chloé's Miraculous, the heroine is still in rant mode, kicking wildly and even ''[[FlippingTheBird flipping the akuma off]]'', which Lady Wifi censors with her lock symbols:
-->'''Lady Wifi:''' Yeah, no, I'm not going near ''that''!
* Lady Wifi tries to stop Chat Noir from destroying the wifi antenna... and he just smacks her off by throwing his baton at her head.
* Marinette and Scarlet Lady end up running up the stairs to the roof at the same time... and quickly proceed to yell at each other.
* After Alya is cleansed, Alya starts to fangirl at seeing Scarlet Lady and wants to get an interview. Naturally Chloé is more than happy to give her one, not realizing that the time limit for her powers is about to run out. Chat Noir promptly grabs her, goes back into the hotel, and dumps her into a nearby storage closet before she changes back, with her complaining all the way till he shuts the door.
-->'''Chat Noir:''' Ah, silence.
* While visiting Alya the next day, Marinette teases Alya about failing to use her memory about the Stoneheart incident to figure out Marinette couldn't be Scarlet Lady. Alya hangs her head in shame as she apologizes.
* Adrien is later seen holding the picture from his photoshoot with Marinette, tearfully declaring he'll never doubt her again.
-->'''Caption:''' This left some nightmares he'll never forget.
* Tikki hides Chloé's diamond scrunchie and destroys her curling iron as retribution for Chloé messing with Alya. The Kwami's CheshireCatGrin at her holder's misfortune just sells it.

[[folder:Copycat: Tales of Théo the Admirer]]

-->'''Caption:''' C'mon Tikki, the blue with the red ''really'' sells that patriotic vibe (which is to say there isn't one.)
* There's a RunningGag of people asking Théo how old he is.
* The DramaticIrony of Théo being RightForTheWrongReasons: Scarlet Lady's crush is indeed Chat Noir, or rather, his civilian identity.
* Adrien sees the statue of Scarlet Lady and Chat Noir, with the perspective making it look like the former is standing on the latter's back. He's not very impressed:
-->'''Adrien:''' Even as a statue, I'm pulling all the weight.\\
'''Tags:''' #adrien: I don't know what I was expecting
* When Copycat kidnaps Marinette and chains her, he forgets to take her phone.
-->'''Caption:''' I feel like you might've forgotten some things in your infinite wisom there, Copycat.

--->'''Marinette's post:''' Lawl, this scrub shackled my hands but didn't take my phone.\\
#bad@villaining #thesculptordidit #chatisinnocent #bewareoftraps
** Marinette later [[FirstPersonSmartass mentally snarks]] at Copycat's [[DidntThinkThisThrough poor planning]], [[MissingStepsPlan wondering how he intended to get Chat Noir to come to the studio to begin with]].
--->'''Copycat:''' ''[after noticing that Marinette had posted about him and his location on social media]'' Seriously? I can't ignore you for a second without you putting me on blast?\\
'''Marinette:''' ''[thinking]'' Well, what is ''your'' plan for getting Chat Noir here? Sitting around and doing nothing?\\
'''Caption:''' It's almost like you were banking on this guy just walking into your warehouse without knowing who the heck you are or where the heck you work :T
* Chat Nori ends up fleeing on all fours while being pursued by the police. Scarlet Lady can't stop laughing at the sight.
* The face Chat Noir makes after hearing Copycat declare the former is Scarlet Lady's "dream guy."
* After Marinette steals Copycat's baton:
-->'''Marinette:''' Scarlet Lady, call your Lucky Charm!\\
'''Scarlet Lady:''' '''''I''''' am the hero here! '''''You''''' don't tell me what to do!\\
'''Marinette:''' [[ArmorPiercingQuestion Oh, so you want a knock off Chat Noir chasing after you forever?]]\\
'''Scarlet Lady:''' ''[[[{{Touche}} with a pained face]]]'' Lucky Charm.
* The Lucky Charm is a spoon, which Marinette ties to Chat Noir's baton like a hook for a fishing pole.
-->'''Scarlet Lady:''' You're kidding. You think you're taking him out with a '''''spoon'''''?\\
'''Marinette:''' Maybe not. But I can take him '''''[[IncrediblyLamePun up]]'''''.\\
'''Scarlet Lady:''' [[LamePunReaction Booooo!]]
* Théo admits he was akumatized because he thought Chat Noir and Scarlet Lady were in love. Chat Noir turns to DeathGlare at Scarlet Lady.
* When Marinette defends Théo, he begins to sport a CrushBlush... until Chat Noir [[DeathGlare makes it clear she's off limits]].
* The BrickJoke about Théo's age. Turns out he also goes to Françoise Dupont.
** Not only that, but it seems [[EverybodyKnewAlready everyone at school knew]] save for Alya and Adrien, both of whom only recently enrolled.
** Adrien makes a hilarious face when [[FiveSecondForeshadowing asking about Théo's goatee]]. Mlle. Mendeleiev then yelling at Théo to shave it while the sculptor protests that it's the only reason he gets taken seriously by clients just sells it.

* Alya getting front row seats to Marinette's spiral over the fashion competition: [[MoodSwinger first she's wondering how to design a bowler hat, then resigned that she'd likely not do well regardless, then panicking over the likelihood that she'll trip, fall on Gabriel Agreste, making him and Adrien hate her and ending her dreams of being a fashion designer]]... all without any input from Alya.
-->'''Caption:''' When it's the first time you've seen your best friend spiral and you can barely keep up with her insane thought process.
* Adrien sees the designs Marinette's showing Alya and is impressed, [[RousingSpeech telling her that she's got a good chance at winning the contest]]. Marinette has sparkles in her eyes as she literally climbs on top of Alya, folding the latter in half like a chair.
-->'''Adrien:''' Whoa, I should compliment you more often.\\
'''Alya:''' Girl, '''''OW.'''''
* Officer Raincomprix angrily scolds M. Ramier for feeding the birds ''again'' despite having been told it's illegal. The latter tries to get out of trouble by suggesting that ''he'' isn't forbidden from doing it, only for Roger to immediately yell, [[EspeciallyZoidberg "Especially for you!"]]
-->'''Tags:''' #rules are more like loose suggestions amiright?
* Marinette is so inspired by a pigeon she sees sitting next to her that she [[FailedASpotCheck doesn't notice]] Officer Roger getting ambushed by an entire flock of them.
-->'''Caption:''' Peripheral Vision, what's that?
** The pigeon next to her does, though, and actually turns its head from the design in Marinette's sketchbook to the commotion, with its gaze on the flock as Roger is carried away.
** The tags even reveal that said pigeon is Jacques, the same one whom Marinette introduces to Alya in "The Mime" and who is mentioned in "Reflekta" to have photobombed Rose and Juleka.
--->'''Tags:''' #jacques is like 'did I miss a Pigeon meeting?!'
* When Marinette learns about M. Pigeon and his namesake birds taking over Paris, [[FantasticallyIndifferent her only reaction is to grumble that she now has to walk home]].
-->'''Caption:''' Just [[SeenItAll another day]] in Daily Akumas Paris, France.
* Tikki attempts to make Chloé fight, but Chloé refuses due to being afraid the birds will ruin her hair. Seeing Chat Noir passing nearby, Tikki quickly comes up with a way to trick Chloé into doing it: appealing to her AttentionWhore antics. It works like a charm, and the Kwami even sticks her tongue out in an AsideGalance.
--> '''Tikki: ''' ''[snarking]'' Well, I guess we'll leave the akuma--and the '''''after interview'''''--to Chat Noir.\\
'''Chloé:''' ''[dead serious]'' '''''The hell we are.'''''
* When Sabine sees her daughter coming down the stairs with two superheroes in tow, she asks, "... Whatcha got there?" Marinette replies, [[ComicallyMissingThePoint "A hat,"]] referring to the costume police cap she brought down from her room.
* Chat Noir attempts to show Marinette how to [[ActingUnnatural "act natural,"]] which seemingly includes him doing the Music/GangnamStyle dance.
* In part 8, a bonus scene has Mr. Pigeon crowd surfing on a flock of pigeons:
-->'''Caption:''' These Pigeons need to Unionize if he's just gonna jump off buildings onto them.
* Chloé gives a NoblewomansLaugh over how [[TemptingFate she doesn't have any real competition in the contest]], Sabrina {{sweatdrop}}s at her friend's overconfidence while everyone else glares at Chloé with CrossPoppingVeins.
* Chloé's OhCrap expression when Marinette proves that her design had been copied by the former, especially as Alya calls Chloé an idiot while Principal Damocles {{sweatdrop}}s with an unamused glare. Then, after failing to throw Sabrina under the bus, Chloé runs away [[InelegantBlubbering crying]] over getting disqualified and banned from future contests.

[[folder:The Pharaoh: Tales of Jalil the Conspiracy Theorist]]
* One RunningGag throughout the episode is people getting shoved:
** Alya is the first to do this, pushing an annoyed Alix aside while running to film Scarlet Lady.
** Shortly afterwards, Jalil shoves Alya aside on his way to his father. Alix even scoffs, "Ha!" at her classmate getting ATasteOfTheirOwnMedicine.
** Jalil then triggers a chain of DisasterDominoes by pushing Scarlet Lady, who falls into Alix, who tumbles into Marinette, who then falls into Adrien's arms, which Adrien doesn't at all mind... until Scarlet Lady also notices his presence.
* With Scarlet Lady, Adrien, Marinette, and Alya all present to look at the Miraculous-related parts of the exhibit and tons of people there to watch Scarlet Lady, Alix's father Alim literally has to scream at everyone that the exhibit is about Tutankhamun. Alix can only FacePalm.
* The vast majority of the humor is provided by Alix, especially when she's snarking at her brother's ''numerous'' inaccurate statements about Egyptology. A lot of the captions are provided on her behalf too.
** The dialogue as Jalil talks about his theory and Alix pokes holes in it:
--->'''Jalil:''' Papa, look, this is Akhenaten and Nefertiti. She died before him-\\
'''Alix:''' She literally didn't.\\
'''Jalil:''' -and Ra made her his goddess.\\
'''Alix:''' He literally wouldn't.\\
'''Jalil:''' Akhenaten offered up a '''''new''''' wife to Ra so '''''his''''' would be brought back to life.\\
'''Alix:''' Dude, Egyptians would be super '''''not''''' into that.\\
'''Jalil:''' This scroll details that very ritual--and only '''''I''''' have deciphered the hieroglyphics!\\
'''Alix:''' Lieeeeees!\\
'''Jalil:''' '''''WOULD YOU STOP THAT?!'''''\\
'''Alix:''' '''''PEDDLE YOUR BAD FANFIC SOMEWHERE ELSE!'''''
** The author notes that Alix needed to prevent Jalil from inadvertently causing her classmates to fail their test.
** Alix is also quick to point out how badly Jalil [[SadlyMythCharacterized misinterprets the Egyptian pantheon]]:
--->'''Alix:''' ''[hearing Jalil invoke Thoth for time powers]'' [[SomethingOnlyTheywouldSay Only he would get the god of writing and magic so wrong.]]\\
'''Alix:''' ''[after Jalili invokes Sekhmet for strength]'' She fights to '''''protect''''' people, you '''''[[KnowNothingKnowItAll poser!]]'''''\\
'''Alix:''' ''[hearing her brother invoke Horus for wings]'' Just because he's a bird doesn't mean you can '''''fly,''''' you t**t! ''[prolonged muffled screaming]''
* There's this exchange that encapsulates the relationship between Jalil and (what he sees as) his FantasyForbiddingFather:
-->'''Mr. Kubdel:''' Jalil, you're not using museum artifacts to perform a '''''[[HumanSacrifice sacrificial ritual!]]''''' For several reasons!\\
'''Jalil:''' ''[[[FlippingTheBird flipping him off]]]'' [[ComicallyMissinglyThePoint Gawd, you just don't understand me dad!]]
* Jalil's obsession with proving his conspiracy theories [[EvenEvilHasStandards annoys Hawkmoth as well]].
-->'''Jalil:''' My precious Nefertiti will come back to life! And I'll '''''totally''''' show my dad!\\
'''Hawkmoth:''' Ugh, teenagers...\\

* Alix and Marinette both fail to notice Adrien ducking around the corner right behind them to transform.
-->'''Caption:''' A true master of Dissolving into the Shadows, to be sure.
* Chat Noir introduces himself as a WorthyOpponent to the Pharaoh. [[DudeWheresMyRespect To the hero's chagrin]], the akuma [[RecognitionFailure doesn't even know who he is]].
* As Alya's being carried off by the Pharaoh, two bystanders, a young boy and his father, watch nearby. The boy turns to his father and has this conversation:
-->'''Boy:''' Dad? Shouldn't we... go?\\
'''Father:''' ''[expressionless]'' [[BystanderSyndrome No son.]] ''[takes a drag of his cigarette]'' [[ConditionedToAcceptHorror This is our lives now.]]\\

'''Boy:''' ''[flatly]'' [[FantasticallyIndifferent Here we go.]]\\
'''Caption:''' [[SeenItAll Another Boring Day in the life of a Parisian.]]
* Scarlet Lady tells Chat Noir to distract the Pharaoh while she saves Alya. He eagerly agrees with two thumbs up... [[MoodWhiplash right before shifting to a much more serious expression]] as he tells Marinette and Alix to wait for an ''actual'' opening. [[FunnyBackgroundEvent Marinette and Alix's facial expressions even change with Chat Noir's]], going from perplexed that he's agreeing with Scarlet to amused when the superhero reveals his real plan.
* Since Marinette is wearing a skirt, she has to be careful to avoid an accidental PantyShot as Alix and Scarlet Lady quickly take the Lucky Charm costume off of her so the heroine can cast the Miraculous Cure.
-->'''Marinette:''' Okay, okay, keep your pants on! Or at least let me keep mine on!\\
'''Caption:''' Give a girl some privacy!
* As Chat Noir catches her after the Pharaoh has been defeated, [[ComicallyMissingThePoint Alya pouts that she would]] ''[[ComicallyMissingThePoint so]]'' [[ComicallyMissingThePoint make a good sacrifice]].
* Adrien decides to give up on looking for the Chat Noir artifacts that Plagg mentioned, convinced the Kwami was just messing with him... [[GaveUpTooSoon right as]] [[FailedASpotCheck he walks past a statue of a black cat]]. Said statue even {{sweatdrop}}s as it stares at Adrien's passing figure.
* Plagg gets to play with a cat toy like a normal cat, [[https://zoe-oneesama.tumblr.com/post/190279257854/local-cat-boy-needs-constant-validation-and-in then acts like a piranha]].

Alya's pissed that he altered her script while Ivan's going full BewareTheNiceOnes.
** In an aside, one of the others is shocked to realize that they're still on the opening scene.
** In the bonus panel, it's revealed that the reason Horrificator is non-verbal is because [[EvilIsPetty Mylène sassed Hawkmoth]].

* Adrien suggests adding Marinette as a new character who takes up the initial scene that would be awkward for Mylène while keeping the latter as the main character. Everyone praises him for his idea, and he preens about getting a kissing scene with Marinette. Then, during filming, Adrien and Marinette are about to kiss when Chloé kills the moment. While the others just lament her return, Adrien has a ThousandYardStare about getting cock-blocked.

-->'''Rogercop:''' Justice waits for a green light. Even if it takes forever.
* When Tom [[NotNowKiddo tells Marinette to stand down and let the adults handle things]], she gives him a disgusted look and an unimpressed [[DeadpanSnarker "Seriously?"]] while gesturing to how none the adults (Tom included) are doing anything to help resolve the situation.
* Marinette has a completely flat look on her face when she dumps her bag out in front of Chloé to prove the bracelet isn't in there. When Chloé then [[MovingTheGoalposts immediately demands she empty her pockets, too]], Marinette declares, "I hate you."
* Rogercop arrives at the school:
-->'''Adrien:''' Looks like I'm a total '''''[[TemptingFate jinx]]''''' and it's an '''''akuma.'''''\\
'''Plagg:''' ''[sniff]'' You're a true Black Cat.\\
'''Caption:''' Plagg getting misty when your Bad Luck Gene comes out.
* Plagg when Adrien tries to get the bracelet off the former's head by making him sneeze:
-->'''Plagg:''' Why do you have pepper in your locker?\\
'''Caption:''' Unsolved Mysteries.
* Chat Noir's reaction to seeing Chloé throwing Marinette inside Rogercop's car before getting in herself:
-->'''Chat Noir:''' [[YouHaveGotToBeKiddingMe Did they just get voluntarily kidnapped?!]]
* [[FantasticallyIndifferent Alya is completely unconcerned that Chloé dragged Marinette off to the akuma.]] The author explains in the tags, "#alya's convinced marinette's impervious to akumas at this point."
* Tom tries to call Alya out for not doing anything to stop Chloé, only for Alya to retort, [[NeverMyFault "Uh, neither did you?"]] It's made funnier by how [[{{Hypocrite}} Tom had early tried to chide Marinette to let the adults handle everything]].
* While Marinette and Chloé have a CatFight in the back of his car, Rogercop ignores them while listening to music.
-->'''Caption:''' That's so sad Hawkmoth, play Despacito.
* It's BlackComedy, but Chat Noir and Marinette's OhCrap faces when they see Chloé plummet to her seeming death are absolutely hilarious, especially when juxtaposed to Rogercop's indifference.
* [[NeverMyFault Chloé yells at Chat Noir as she falls toward the ground and later blames Rogercop]] when she survives but has her hair all messed up. However, [[FiveSecondForeshadowing as Marinette had pointed out just moments ago]], [[LaserGuidedKarma Chloé didn't put on her seat belt after getting inside Rogercop's car]].
* When Rogercop orders the police to arrest Scarlet Lady and Chat Noir, the police... refuse as he's clearly been akumatized. Chat's relieved sigh sells it, and the author even goes into a mini rant about how stupid it was for them to obey Rogercop in canon.
-->'''Police Officer 1:''' Um... no?\\
'''Police Officer 2:''' What a dumb idea.\\
'''Police Officer 3:''' That's totally an akuma, right?\\
'''Caption:''' We don't just take orders from Akuma just because they have COP in their name, c'mon.\\
'''Tags:''' #this is my rare rule break when it came to not going out of my way to make the characters smarter than canon if I can't excuse it #but this was seriously stupid for these grown adults to turn on the Heroes of Paris that protect them from an emotional terrorist #on the orders of that very terrorist's minion!
* Once Chat and Scarlet confront him, Rogercop forces Marinette and André to capture them. Marinette manages to lock her legs around a chair, but André ends up getting dragged across the floor.
** The best thing is that Rogercop catches Chat and Scarlet because Scarlet Lady [[SoMuchForStealth makes too much noise]] [[WithCatlikeTread shushing Marinette]]. Chat's FacePalm just sells it.
** Chat Noir later remarks on Marinette's trick to prevent herself from moving:
--->'''Chat Noir:''' Are you okay, Marinette?\\
'''Marinette:''' ''[sweating with exhaustion]'' My legs hurt.\\
'''Chat Noir:''' That '''''was''''' an impressive maneuver. I should add it to my workout routine.\\
'''Marinette:''' Don't mock my pain, Chaton.
* The narration after Rogercop is taken down:
-->'''Caption:''' Aw, Scarlet finally helped take out an akuma. (Don't get used to it)

!!Season 2
[[folder:Darkblade: Tales of Armand the Knight]]
* Chloé mocks her driver for being too dense to realize she's talking about her secret identity. In reality, he's simply ignoring his passenger, thinking she's talking to herself.
* Alya calls Marinette from the hotel, telling her that Chloé is using an appearance from Jagged Stone to buy voters for the Class election. Marinette realizes something:
-->'''Marinette:''' Wait, [[ArmorPiercingQuestion what are you doing over there already?]]\\
'''Alya:''' [[OhCrap Um...]]\\
'''Caption:''' Your intentions aren't pure, ALYA!
* When D'Argencourt is talking about how his ancestor was overthrown, Adrien points out (in a thought bubble) that the ancestor sounded like a dick if he "ruled with an iron fist" and it was that easy for the usurper to buy the loyalty of his subjects.
* When Chat Noir notices Darkblade, the first thing he is happy about is that [[TemptingFate Marinette isn't caught in it]]. A caption box reading, "WRONG!" sells it.
* So why is Jagged Stone offering autographs to support Chloé's class president campaign?
-->'''Jagged:''' Pen, why '''''exactly''''' am I doing this?\\
'''Penny:''' Because [[NoodleIncident Fang ruined Bob's car]] and now you owe him a favor.\\
'''Jagged:''' '''''Heh''''', {{worth it}}.
** There's also his reaction to finding out one of his fans is [[GirlyGirl Rose]].
** Later, when Darkblade and his minions show up at city hall, [[ComicallyMissingThePoint Jagged somehow thinks that more of his fans have arrived and that he should go outside and play for them to give them what they want]]. Penny literally has to grab him by the arm to stop him.
--->'''Caption:''' I know you didn't want to be heree, Jagged, but you can't disassociate to the level of No Self Preservation.
* Sabrina's OhCrap expression when she falls victim to Marinette's booby-trapped diary
** She later makes many snide remarks when explaining what happened to Chloé:
--->'''Chloé:''' Finally! You '''''better''''' have her diary!\\
'''Sabrina:''' ''[holding out her right hand]'' Yeah, and a new '''bracelet'''!\\
'''Chloé:''' '''''What''''' is '''''that'''''?!\\
'''Sabrina:''' It snapped on my hand when I went for her diary!\\
'''Chloé:''' Oh, and what, you just expect me to '''''believe''''' that?\\
'''Sabrina:''' '''''Yeah''''', actually, I '''''do'''''!\\
'''Chloé:''' Are you giving me '''''attitude'''''?!\\
'''Tags:''' #idk why [[SelectiveObliviousness Chloé was doubting Sabrina when the evidence was LATCHED TO HER WRIST]]
** Sabrina [[AintTooProudToBeg wastes no time begging Marinette to take it back]] when the latter arrives, much to Chloé's ire.
* When confronting Darkblade, Chat asks if Scarlet Lady is ever going to do her job. Her reply is a ''blunt'' "Don't wanna." Then Darkblade [[BerserkButton pisses her off]] by calling her a peasant.
* Nathaniel doesn't buy Chloé's lie that her absence was because she was calling Scarlet Lady (to hide that she ''is'' Scarlet Lady), [[RightForTheWrongReasons but only because he figures no hero would hang out with Chloé]].
* Chloé is actually surprised that [[BribeBackfire her bribe didn't work]]. Apparently, [[DidntThinkThisThrough it never occurred to her that the classmates she regularly bullies might just take her free stuff and vote for Marinette anyway]]. She's then put in an uncomfortable spot after making an AccidentalPublicConfession:
-->'''Mme. Bustier:''' ''[with PuppyDogEyes]'' Chloé, did you '''''bribe''''' your classmates?\\
'''Chloé:''' [[BlatantLies Um... No?]]
[[/folder]]
[[folder:The Gamer: Tales of Max the Pro Gamer]]
* Alya tries to call Marinette out on allegedly only showing interest in the tournament to spend time with Adrien, insisting that representing the school is [[PunctuatedForEmphasis "Super. Serious!"]] Marinette snarks that Alya is getting pretty worked up over something she didn't even know about until five minutes ago.
* Kim sees how calm and collected Max after the crushing defeat handed to him and praises his friend for being so cool. A DescriptionCut then shows Max internally screaming.
* Another RunningGag: this time, people point out to Max that he lost to ''two'' people, not just Marinette.
* Chloé is actually rather annoyed by Sabrina texting her that Adrien will be competing in the video game tournament, proclaiming she doesn't ''need'' to play a video game to spend time with Adrien. Then Sabrina informs Chloé that Marinette is going to be Adrien's partner. That ''instantly'' infuriates Chloé, who immediately demands that her father get her driver.
* Tikki is her usual DeadpanSnarker self as she calls Chloé out. The flat expression she has at the end while her arms and legs are crossed just sell it.
-->'''Tikki:''' Chloé, this is ridiculous.\\
'''Chloé:''' '''''Me,''''' ridiculous?!\\
'''Tikki:''' You didn't even '''''care''''' about this until '''''Marinette''''' was involved!\\
'''Chloé:''' Of course I care! She's going to put her grubby paws '''''all over''''' poor '''''Adrien!'''''\\
'''Tikki:''' She isn't '''''you.'''''\\
'''Chloé:''' C'mon, we're crashing this date!\\
'''Tikki:''' [[SarcasmMode Oh, this outta be good.]]
* Marinette's face when her parents [[MomentKiller interrupt her and Adrien with an offer for quiche]].
* Chloé's repeated failed attempts to get Adrien away from Marinette... at least, until she tries to help Gamer MurderTheHypotenuse.
* How does Chloé meet Fu in this universe? [[https://zoe-oneesama.tumblr.com/post/618227851154669568/get-your-own-episode-12-part-6-first-previous By being told to get out of his "spying tree."]]
* Adrien pushes Marinette out of the way and lands on top of her, with both of them blushing. Gamer is not amused that they aren't paying attention to him.
* Chloé's EpicFail at piloting the mecha.
* After Scarlet Lady thanks him for only going after Marinette while ignoring Adrien, Max has ScaryShinyGlasses as he walks away.
-->'''Caption:''' Time to rethink your entire life because somewhere under all the insults, ''[[VillainHasAPoint Scarlet Lady had a point]]''.

[[folder:Reflekta: Tales of Juleka the Goth]]
* To [[ContinuityNod Chloé's utter disgust]], [[https://zoe-oneesama.tumblr.com/post/619759782724763648/we-meet-again-camera-man-episode-13-part-1 Vincent]] is handling the class photo. He remembers her, too, and notes she's still wearing white pants (he previously mocked her for it).
* A bonus panel reveals just what the "pigeon one" was--and that the pigeon in question was fully aware of the camera. WordOfGod later confirmed that the pigeon was also Jacques, whom Marinette introduced Alya to in "The Mime."
* When Chloé complains about the others paying attention to Juleka instead of her having a crisis, Adrien fires back by saying that her "crisis" is an oversized temper tantrum. Nino chuckles, and [[FunnyBackgroundEvent Sabrina looks like she's about to burst out laughing]].
* The class photo has Adrien shoving Chloé off of him while most of the class is looking at the commotion and Marinette is begging the photographer to wait.
* When Marinette comes up with the idea to make the picture disappear in order to get another one with Juleka in it, [[IncorruptiblePurePureness Rose]] [[ComicallyMissingThePoint doesn't understand how she is going to be make it disappear]] (she's going to steal it).
-->'''Marinette:''' Oh [[ShoutOut you sweet summer child]]. I shant corrupt you.
* When Chloé declares that she won't let her picture with Adrien be ruined, Sabrina snarkily reminds her that the picture shows Adrien ''pushing Chloé off of him''.
-->'''Chloé:''' ''[staring at Sabrina]'' '''''What''''' is '''''with''''' her?! Completely ridiculous.\\
'''Tikki:''' Came to her senses, if I had to guess.
* Tikki, [[LockedOutOfTheLoop unaware of Chloé's latest stunt]] (due to her leaving her purse behind while she locked Juleka in the bathroom), laments the idea that without her guidance, Marinette is becoming a criminal. Complete with an ImagineSpot of [[https://zoe-oneesama.tumblr.com/post/620758910195892224/and-thus-the-birth-of-a-million-fanfic-akuma-oc Marinette in full thieving gear]].
* Reflekta's MotiveRant is depicted as a WallOfText behind her, with Alya and Nino exchanging [[OhCrap stressed looks]].
* Upon learning about the akuma from Rose and Sabrina, Adrien tells them he'll try to call for help. Rose proclaims, "Good idea!" while Sabrina notes he's heading towards the bathroom.
* Chat Noir manages to get Reflekta's attention by taunting her... [[MissingStepsPlan only to realize he doesn't have a plan for what to do next]].
-->'''Chat Noir:''' ''[dodging Reflekta's attacks]'' So you've got her attention, '''''[[DidntThinkThisThrough now]]''''' what, Chat Noir?!\\
'''Caption:''' When you're suddenly in the distraction role but you're severely out of practice because you've been in the leadership role this whole time.
* Hawkmoth gets sassed by yet another akuma:
-->'''Hawkmoth:''' You should've taken his Miraculous!\\
'''Reflekta:''' Has anyone ever told you you're really annoying?\\
'''Hawkmoth:''' You have literally one job!
* When Chloé's confrontation with Marinette is interrupted by Reflekta, she bemoans that an akuma had to show up. You know, the same akuma that she intentionally tried to cause by locking Juleka in the bathroom.
* Marinette panics upon seeing Plagg and calls him a tiny cat-mouse, which is followed by Plagg saying he's had worse reactions.
* Marinette as Maotif pulls a BigDamnHeroes to save Scarlet Lady... who isn't exactly grateful:
-->'''Scarlet Lady:''' WHO ARE YOU!?\\
'''Maotif:''' Oh yeah, '''''[[TheLoad you]]''''' [[ThisIsGonnaSuck come with the job]].
* Adrien, of course, is not happy with Plagg picking a replacement... until he realizes just whom she is. ''Then'' he's fully on board.
* Scarlet Lady and Maotif [[ActuallyPrettyFunny both laugh]] when they see Chat Noir after he's been transformed to look like Reflekta.
* Reflekta's OhCrap face when she realizes Maotif is about to jump at her from behind is ''hilarious''.
* Adrien and Juleka can't help but snicker when Marinette sheepishly admits to having stolen the photographer's SD card; Juleka even calls her a "criminal cutie."
* Chloé proves to be so petty that she doesn't join the retake, claiming that she already has "her photo" (the one where she is being shoved off Adrien).
* When Alya complains that no one got to take a photo of Maotif, Juleka happily replies that she got a couple of selfies with the new heroine. [[FunnyBackgroundEvent The next panel has Juleka laughing and running away from Alya in the background]].
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Timebreaker: Tales of Alix the Skater]]
* Alim all but confirms (by way of SuspiciouslySpecificDenial) that the Kubdel tradition of giving the watch to the last child is something he made up just so [[CloudCuckooLander Jalil]] doesn't get the heirloom.
* Scarlet Lady doesn't even bother to fake putting effort towards stopping Timebreaker. She literally just goes onto a rooftop, thinking Timebreaker can't reach her up there. Marinette [[WhatTheHellHero calls the Ladybug heroine out]], declaring that she's filming Scarlet Lady ignoring the akuma and implying that unless the heroine acts, she'll ensure others get to enjoy that footage as well. Scarlet jumps down to yell at her and promptly gets tagged in the back. [[OhCrap Marinette's expression says it all]].
* When Chat Noir meets up with Past!Adrien, the former calling Scarlet Lady [[MaliciousMisnaming Scar]] confirms to the latter that he is the real deal. Past!Adrien then asks what a world without Scarlet Lady is like, and Chat bemoans tearfully that he never got to enjoy it.
* Scarlet Lady is angry with both Chats and says they will have to beg her to help. They both agree [[ThreatBackfire that it will be better if she stays out of the way]]. Later, one of them decides she will be useful as a distraction, Cataclysms her elevated perch, and dumps her into the fight. At that point, Marinette shows up with a better plan; the current Chat then grabs Scar's yo-yo while the future Chat uses the one he has, and together, they catch the akumas. Scar complains loudly about her yo-yo getting taken again.
* Marinette runs home when future Timebreaker and Chat Noir show up, not wanting to be caught up in an akuma attack for once. But after she's given Mrs. Chamack her cake, she just can't resist getting on a bike and riding back to the fight to help. Even funnier, the author [[ShrugOfGod refuses to confirm]] whether the bike was actually Marinette's or [[HeroStoleMyBike someone else's]].
* Kim mistakes being unable to dare people for the rest of the year as meaning the actual year and thinks that he doesn't have to wait too long because it's December. His face when Max tells him it's actually for the rest of the ''school year'' is hilarious.
* Sabine trying not to sound too angry about Mrs. Chamack's early arrival nearly ruining her and Tom's anniversary.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Simon Says: Tales of Simon the Hypnotist]]
* Mireille cheerfully notes that Alec does whatever Aurore asks (due to getting caught rigging the weather girl contest against her back in "Stormy Weather"). Aurore gives a small EvilLaugh in response.
-->'''Caption:''' Aurore owns this studio now.
* [[ComicallyMissingThePoint Chloé wants Adrien to appear on the show already]] despite the fact that (as Tikki points out) ''Nino'' is the one competing.
* Both Adrien and Nino have simultaneous OhCrap reactions when they hear that Simon is up against Gabriel Agreste, lamenting "Oh no, he's screwed." Marinette, who doesn't know Gabriel that well, blandly says, "Oh, it's your dad."
* As soon as Gabriel turns off the video call, he immediately runs off to transform, referencing how quickly he was apparently able to change between locations in canon.
* Nathalie's reaction to overhearing the deal between Hawkmoth and Simon is to think, "I do '''not''' get paid enough for this."
** Simon's reply to Hawkmoth's offer:
--->'''Simon Says:''' Simon says... yes.
** Chat Noir's response to Simon Says's introduction:
--->'''Chat Noir:''' Chat Noir says, shut up and gimme your cards!
* Chloé is actually motivated to go out and fight:
-->'''Chloé:''' [[SkewedPriorities I have to protect my Adrikins!]]\\
'''Tikki:''' But does he '''''want''''' your protection?
* In a sort of TwistedEchoCut, both top panels of episode 4 show a superhero attacking, with both exclaiming "Hyah!" In one, Chat Noir flips The Gorilla into an open elevator. In the other, Scarlet Lady kicks in a door to look for Adrien, to the astonishment of Marinette and Nino.
** In a moment of BlackComedy, Gorilla has a hilarious OhCrap expression as the elevator he's inside starts to plummet. Chat Noir does as well, even muttering, "... I'm sure he's fine..." in an attempt to convince himself. The author remarks in the tags, though, that Chat Noir probably just killed a man.
** When Marinette asks Scarlet Lady how she knew Adrien was down at the studio, her reply, "My love radar always knows" (she actually overheard Adrien saying he was going there at school), makes her look like a stalker. Not only that, but Marinette is actually RightForTheWrongReasons when she accuses the Ladybug heroine of stalking Adrien.
--->'''Caption:''' Pst, Scarlet, people don't know you're '''Chloe''', you're not ''[[SayingTooMuch supposed]]'' to have this insider information you creep!
* Seeing Adrien rushing up, Scarlet Lady charges forward with her eyes closed, saying, "I came, my Prince!" When he hugs Nino instead, she has a FallingIntoHisArms fail, crashing to the ground with AmusingInjuries and InstantBandages.
* On arrival at the Agreste mansion, Scarlet Lady initially thinks [[ComicallyMissingThePoint that she has been invited to hang out with Adrien in his room]]. When Gabriel asks, "Mme. Scarlet, are you not here to protect ''me''?" she scowls and curses to herself.
* Gabriel and Nino glaring at each other, clearly remembering their encounter on Adrien's birthday.
* Marinette and Nino debating who sucks more, [[AbusiveParents Gabriel]] or [[AlphaBitch Scarlet Lady]].
* Gabriel is... rather taken aback to learn that the supposed WorthyOpponent who impressed him with her sense of strategy during the Bubbler incident is in actuality shallow, egotistical, and bossy and thinks she'd be the ''perfect'' match for his son. Chat takes advantage of this to get a real zinger off at his unknowing father.
* Once again, Gabriel winds up winded when he rushes back to his secret lair to start giving Simon Says orders again.
* Scarlet Lady's incompetence leads to Nathalie, Nino, and Marinette being captured along with Gabriel and taken to the TV studio. While there, [[ActuallyPrettyFunny Nathalie has to stop herself from laughing out loud]] when Simon Says makes Gabriel act like a [[{{Irony}} butterfly]].
** Marinette sees Nathalie looking away (to hide her snorting) and tries to comfort the older woman, mistakenly thinking she's crying.
** As Nathalie starts showing off her fighting abilities, Nino bewilderingly asks, "What kind of assistant are you?"
-->'''Caption:''' Look Nino, when your boss is Gabriel -I-Make-A-Living-On-Being-An-Asshole- Agreste you learn how to defend yourself.
** When Gabriel is made to act like a plane, Nathalie just grabs him by his jacket and says "No."
* In the page 10 bonus, Gabriel asks Adrien if he's interested in Scarlet Lady:
-->'''Adrien:''' [[NoJustNoReaction Ew. No.]]\\
'''Gabriel:''' Oh, ''thank God.''
** The face Adrien makes deserves a mention all on its own.
** Gabriel's thoughts reveal he was actually hoping to use his son as a bargaining chip against the heroine and is disappointed that that option is no longer available. [[EvenEvilHasStandards He's still immensely relieved]] that Adrien isn't interested in the incompetent {{Nominal Hero}}ine, though.
--->'''Caption:''' [[SkewedPriorities Nice to know where the line is, Gabe.]]
* Adrien revealing how he convinced Gabriel to let him come to Nino's second appearance in the show: threatening to wear a T-shirt that says "Get [[{{Pun}} meowt]] of here" to a fashion show--with a cat [[FlippingTheBird throwing a double bird]].
-->'''Marinette:''' '''''Oh my god.'''''\\
'''Alya:''' The ultimate rebellion.
* Chloé learning about Adrien's thoughts on Scarlet Lady, as well as her reaction to it per WordOfGod.
-->'''Chloé:''' Adrihoney~! I heard you got visited by [[ButHeSoundsHandsome the amazing Scarlet Lady]].\\
'''Adrien:''' ''[yawning]'' Ugh, yeah, and I have the eyebags to prove it.\\
'''Chloé:''' Soooo? Isn't she ultra fab? Don't you just '''''love''''' her?\\
'''Adrien:''' [[NoJustNoReaction Ew. No.]]\\
'''Caption:''' This answer will be dutifully '''[[IRejectYourReality ignored]]''' on the basis that it wasn't the one Chloe wanted to hear.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Volpina: Tales of Lila the FOX]]
* Just like in the show, Lila has some ''hilarious'' reaction faces when something unexpected happens.
* In the header on the page, the title of the episode is written as "Lila The Liar" with liar being crossed out.
* The first page of the chapter, which features Lila's introduction to the class, is [[HashtagForLaughs tagged]] with [[WesternAnimation/SouthPark "#heeeeere she is the biggest liar in the uuuuniverse."]]
* When Lila is introducing herself, Adrien is passed out at his desk, drooling, while Nino pokes him with a pencil.
* Lila claiming she is best friends with Scarlet Lady impresses Alya, Rose, and Kim... while Marinette, Alix, and Nino (who've all had bad personal experiences with Scarlet Lady) all look utterly ''horrified''. They're even all standing right behind their new classmate, [[FailedASpotCheck not that she notices]].
* Both Adrien and Plagg have {{Cat Smile}}s when they notice Gabriel walking away from a safe.
* When Adrien and Plagg steal Gabriel's book, the author says Plagg probably came up with the saying about it being better to ask for forgiveness than permission.
* Instead of hiding in the library (as Marinette did in canon) to find out what Lila is up to, Chloé charges in and {{Glomp}}s onto Adrien. The author comments, "Chloé failed this stealth mission right away."
* Lila is noticeably struggling to maintain her "nice" demeanor when her attempt to invoke a CommonalityConnection with Adrien over their apparent love of superheroes gets shot down by [[JerkassHasAPoint Chloé, who proclaims to also adore superheroes, just like everyone else]].
-->'''Tags:''' #lol seriously lila in this day and age loving superheroes doesn't make you special
* Thanks to the Chloé's intervention in the conversation, Lila gets the idea that Adrien has a "soft spot" for Scarlet Lady and repeats the lie that she is the superheroine's friend [[SustainedMisunderstanding under the impression that this will endear her to Adrien]].
* Chloé is completely shocked when Tikki tells her she must follow Lila and Adrien (Tikki wants to get Adrien's book). She would've done it anyway but didn't expect Tikki to ''agree''.
* When Plagg tells Adrien that Lila stole Gabriel's book, it convinces Adrien that she really is friends with Scarlet Lady.
* Chloé refuses to touch the book after Tikki rescues it from a trash can out of disgust.
* Lila is called out about her lies, first by Adrien because "Scarlet Lady would '''never''' go out of her way to save '''anyone'''!" and then by Scar herself for claiming to be her best friend. The [[NominalHero "heroine"]] sends Lila into a fountain with a SpectacularSpinning move.
** Adrien's reaction to Scarlet Lady's arrival:
--->'''Adrien:''' [[SpeakOfTheDevil Dammit, we said her name too many times.]]
** Adrien [[ScrewThisImOutOfHere booking it]] as soon as Scarlet Lady begins to say how he can "thank" her.
* When Marinette gets the book and is looking through it, she notes that the Ladybug hero doesn't look like Scarlet Lady:
-->'''Marinette:''' So there ''is'' hope.
* Lila's response when Hawkmoth tells her that she can make Paris believe she is a hero?
-->'''Lila:''' Shouldn't be hard given the '''abysmal''' example they have to go off of!\\
'''Hawkmoth:''' Oh, I'm going to like you.
* Chat Noir reacts unfavorably when Volpina boasts that she's the only superheroine Paris needs.
-->'''Chat:''' [[ThisIsGonnaSuck Oh God, there's two of them. Another ego-maniac to make my job hard.]]
** The heroes' reactions when they notice "Hawkmoth":
-->'''Volpina:''' Hey, look, it's Hawkmoth.\\
'''Scarlet Lady:''' '''''Like I'm falling for that!'''''\\
'''Chat Noir:''' [[SymbolSwearing Holy #$%@]] it's Hawkmoth!\\
'''Scarlet Lady:''' '''''What?!'''''\\
'''Chat Noir:''' [[IveHeardOfThatWhatIsIt I mean I think so. We don't actually know what he looks like, so...]]
** Chat has a puzzled face when Volpina acts ''nice''. He then quickly realizes Volpina is Lila (though not that she's an akuma)... and as she and Scarlet Lady start shouting about who's in charge, [[ScrewThisImOuttaHere he bails on them]]. Both his annoyed look and Volpina's puzzled face are priceless.
* Volpina's face when she sees even Chat hates Scarlet Lady... and the latter's face when Volpina brings out the (illusionary) missiles and reveals herself as an akumatized villain.
* Volpina ''finally'' realizing [[SociopathicHero whom she's dealing with]]:
-->'''Volpina:''' [[EvenEvilHasStandards You really]] '''''[[EvenEvilHasStandards are]]''''' [[EvenEvilHasStandards a villain!]]\\
'''Caption:''' You're the only one who's surprised, Volpina.
* Adrien greets Volpina with a DeathGlare when the akuma shows up at his window immediately after he realizes that Lila threw his father's book away after she stole it rather than trying to return it.
* This exchange when Scarlet Lady notices Marinette in Adrien's room:
-->'''Scarlet Lady:''' Dupain-Cheng?! [[{{Hypocrite}} Why are you always where you aren't wanted!?]]\\
'''Marinette''' [[DeadpanSnarker I could say the same to you]].
* [[BondingOverDislikes When Volpina finds out that Marinette hates Scarlet Lady, too]], she grips Marinette's hands and stares at her with [[WingdingEyes starry eyes]].
-->'''Caption:''' Is this the Lilanette you were asking for?
* Marinette isn't exactly happy when Volpina grabs her hands:
-->'''Marinette:''' ''[{{sweatdrop}}ping]'' I'm not helping you. I hate Hawkmoth more.
* Scarlet Lady and Volpina both fighting over Adrien, to the point where he orders all three girls out of his room...causing the two "heroes" to [[NeverMyFault start blaming each other]].
-->'''Adrien:''' If everyone could leave, that'd be great!
** Adrien later hopes he didn't offend Marinette. Plagg says, "Just tell her it's one of your 'stress showers'."
* Chat's [[YouHaveGotToBeKiddingMe reaction]] to Volpina taking an illusion of Adrien hostage. Meanwhile, [[ScrewThisImOuttaHere Marinette just leaves]] while [[FantasticallyIndifferent nonchalantly telling Nathalie that Adrien was abducted by an akuma]].
* Volpina learns the hard way that not even using ''Adrien'' as a hostage changes the way Scarlet responds... or rather, it doesn't change it in the akuma's favor.
-->'''Volpina:''' ''[dangling Illusion!Adrien by his wrist]'' Give me your Miraculous or '''''else!'''''\\
'''Scarlet:''' ''[grinning evilly]'' '''''Do it.'''''\\
'''Volpina:''' '''''Gawd, what is wrong with you?!'''''
* The way Volpina is defeated. Not seeing how the Lucky Charm can help, Scarlet Lady decides to use the wrapping to improve her tan and ends up blinding Volpina by ''[[AccidentalHero accident]]''.
* After having one last shouting match with Scarlet Lady, Lila leaves... and Chat wonders one thing:
-->'''Chat Noir:''' ... How does she plan on getting down?
** Gets even better when the final panel shows she did indeed get down and even go home... but we don't know ''how''.
** The tags do providea partial explanation, though:
--->'''Tags:''' #Lila's using the elevator of spite to get down #but mostly just the elevator
* Adrien using Agreste Manor's security system to keep Scarlet Lady out. The fic's author comments, "Finally that security system came in handy."
[[/folder]]
[[folder:The Collector: Tales of Gabriel the TOP SECRET]]
* Gabriel's description in the episode's title is covered with TOP SECRET.
* When Master Fu presents himself as the one who gave Adrien the Miraculous, Adrien immediately guesses he also gave the earrings to Scarlet Lady... and is more than ready to ''hit him'' for that. Fu has to quickly tell him she wasn't his intended candidate before Adrien follows through on it.
* Fu explains that the book contains recipes for spells and power ups... that will have to be shared with Scarlet Lady:
-->'''Adrien:''' You mean I have to share power-ups with ''Scar''?\\
'''Fu:''' My condolences.
* Master Fu tells Adrien he always suspected that whoever had the Grimoire also had the Butterfly and the Peacock Miraculous and asks Adrien where he got the book from. It becomes awkward when Adrien says it was from his father.
* When Adrien comes back home, his father finds out he took the Grimoire and decides to pull Adrien out of school as punishment. Adrien, however, counters that if his father does, he'll tell his friends--one of whom has personal ties to Nadja Chamack, a news reporter--which in turn could become a PR disaster for Gabriel doing so over what would seem like a trivial matter. Gabriel awkwardly backpedals on the punishment.
-->'''Gabriel:''' You're... grounded? For a month?\\
'''Adrien:''' Better. [[DamnedByFaintPraise You almost sound like a parent.]]
* Chloé ComicalOverreacting to the news that Adrien is grounded. [[ComicallyMissingThePoint She thinks it means he'll never come back to school]], and her tears cause her mascara to run all down her face. (The author notes that she doesn't know what being "grounded" means.) Moreover, Adrien is in trouble because his father's book was lost... the same book Chloé ''could'' have retrieved but didn't because it had been in a trash can.
* Nathalie's [[YouHaveGotToBeKiddingMe reaction]] to being attacked by The Collector:
-->'''Nathalie:''' M. Agreste... the [[SymbolSwearing #$%@]].\\
'''The Collector:''' ''[with sparkles around his words]'' Call me The Collector!\\
'''Nathalie:''' I'm going to hit you when you lose.
** Later, with perfect comedic timing, [[BrickJoke Nathalie hits Gabriel after he's been defeated]]. For added hilarity, this ruins the ominous vibe he was going for when he stated he was looking forward to seeing Chat Noir again soon.
** Also note that Nathalie said WHEN he loses. She already knows the heroes triumphing over her akumatized boss is a ForegoneConclusion.
* Upon discovering that Adrien's escaped, Gabriel complains, "What's the point of grounding my son if he's ''not here'' when I attack him as an akuma?!"
* Scar's SkewedPriorities are on full display as she ponders the concept of Gabriel being Hawkmoth:
-->'''Scarlet:''' ''[thinking seriously] If I defeat Hawkmoth, then my reign as Scarlet Lady is over! I'd only be celebrated for a few months after!''\\
'''Chat:''' He fits the profile: total recluse, financially stable, a total d**k, you're not listening...\\
'''Scarlet:''' ''[beaming with anticipation]'' ''But then I'd get to comfort my poor, lonely Adrien!''\\
'''Chat:''' You know, [[NoPokerFace your poker face sucks]].
* Chat Noir and Scarlet Lady see the mess Gabriel has left in his office:
-->'''Scarlet:''' Ugh, '''someone''' threw a temper tantrum.\\
'''Chat:''' You '''would''' know exactly what that looks like.\\
'''Scarlet:''' What'd you say?!
* When The Collector arrives, Scarlet immediately summons her Lucky Charm, only to reveal that she has no clue what a ''bike pedal'' is. Meanwhile, The Collector's visibly annoyed at being ignored.
-->'''The Collector:''' Why do I even bother with my evil monologues?\\
'''Caption:''' He worked on that speech for '''days''', guys!
* Scarlet sends her yo-yo at The Collector, yelling "Take this!" He says, [[ThreatBackfire "Thanks, I will!"]] and, in a VisualPun, he uses his book to capture it.
* Scarlet Lady manages to use the bike pedal... by whacking The Collector with it. The author quips, "Scarlet has fully embraced the [[CuttingTheKnot Brute Force It]] methodology when it comes to Lucky Charms." Ironically, this is one of the few times she actually ''directly does her job''.
* After The Collector is defeated and Chat Noir tells Gabriel that his son is safe. Chat Noir promptly grabs Scarlet Lady on his way out as he does, with her once again complaining all the while.
* Marinette goes to Lila's home to give her notes on what she missed that day. HilarityEnsues:
** Lila's mom, whom the author flat-out admits she considers TheDitz. And it shows.
** When Marinette tries to pass her the notes, Lila says she's not coming back after Scarlet Lady humiliated her like that. The exchange that follows is a hilarious MythologyGag to Lila's antics in canon:
--->'''Marinette:''' So you're running away? You think you can trick your mom and miss a whole year of school?\\
'''Lila:''' ''[doing a '''crazy''' face]'' You underestimate my power.
** When Lila explains she can't come back because Scarlet Lady has humiliated her and everyone loves the heroine, Marinette makes a priceless disgusted face as she replies "Yeah, no, Scarlet Lady ''sucks''."
* When Adrien returns to school, Chloé rushes at him and has another FallingIntoHisArms fail when he goes for Marinette instead.
* Nathalie gets in one more [[ServileSnarker servile snark]] at Gabriel. He defends akumatizing himself over the lost book even though he had made a copy, saying, "I did what was necessary to protect my secret." Nathalie sarcastically replies, "You're truly the picture of subtlety, sir" (after he has gone down the trapdoor to his lair and can't hear her).
* Alix becomes Lila's friend, but Lila finds her attention "relentless" when Alix repeatedly texts her and tries to get her to go to Marinette's birthday party. It seems Lila will have to get used to having real friends who accept her as she is rather than followers she can manipulate with lies.

[[folder:La Befana: Tales of Gina the Witch]]
* When Chloé wants to find out what her classmates are planning, they refuse to tell her and she whines to Mme. Bustier, who forces them to include her. She's then dismayed to learn they're planning Marinette's birthday party.
* In the bonus image, after learning that Chloé got invited, Alya tells Sabrina that she is now the "Chloé wrangler" for the party. Sabrina instantly accepts with [[TheComicallySerious comical seriousness]].
* Tikki changes from being worried that Chloé will try to ruin Marinette's party to jealous that Marinette once used Plagg's Miraculous to excited when Plagg offers her the hair he saved from the time Marinette was Maotif so quickly Plagg can't keep up with her.
* Tom Dupain does the BumblingDad thing, getting flustered and throwing Marinette's birthday cake into the trash so she doesn't see it when she rushes downstairs to answer the doorbell. Sabine quickly agrees to Gina taking Marinette out of the house, telling Tom, "After all, we have to remake the cake."
* Chloé does some [[PokeThePoodle petty mischief]] to try to ruin Marinette's party--throwing her presents in a bush and unplugging the music system. Chloé congratulates herself on how much trouble she is causing, not knowing that her "wrangler," Sabrina, is following her and undoing everything she does. The [[TheComicallySerious utterly bored expression]] Sabrina sports sells it.
* Hawkmoth akumatizing Gina in a bonus page. As the caption under the page says, "Don't akumatize out of towners! They don't know your deal!"
-->'''Hawkmoth:''' Befana, I am Hawkmoth.\\
'''La Befana:''' Who?\\
'''Hawkmoth:''' The...the guy who makes akumas? Is in constant pursuit of the Ladybug earrings and Cat ring?\\
'''La Befana:''' What?
* Marinette when she notices Chloé at the party. She then gets in a zinger on the unwanted birthday guest:
-->'''Marinette:''' '''''Why's Chloé here?'''''\\
'''Chloé:''' I was invited--\\
'''Other classmate:'''[[note]]It's unknown who it was[[/note]] Bustier made us.\\
'''Marinette:''' So, where's your gift, Chloé?\\
'''Chloé:''' Um, the gift of my presence, obvi.\\
'''Marinette:''' I want the receipt.
* When La Befana crashes the party and attacks Marinette, she declares that she's going to punish her for lying about eating her candy. Marinette complains about how it's the ''one thing'' she lied about ''purely'' to spare Gina's feelings.
* A [[https://zoe-oneesama.tumblr.com/post/634711255677091840/gina-if-you-wait-five-more-minutes-youd-have-been bonus panel]] shows Lila [[https://64.media.tumblr.com/e5bf02fe6089b7f1d4bdbceffa4ddb4b/e0aae3045341eb9e-b9/s500x750/0b00dc687805cb21e26fbd117aa2d8df1af2e3cb.png watching]] the chaos unfold from her window, quietly horrified. The narration notes that her decision to stay home might have been the right call after all.
* Chloé baffles La Befana's moral judgement with ThePowerOfApathy, unwittingly saving herself from being turned into coal or a fairy:
-->'''La Befana:''' Will you protect Marinetta? Or punish her?!\\
'''Chloé:''' I don't care.\\
'''La Befana:''' Um, what? What does that mean? Coal? Fairy?\\
'''Chloé:''' ''[pointing at Marinette]'' She's getting away, you know.
* What actually gets Chloé to go after La Befana? [[TakenForGranite The akuma turning]] [[ItsAllAboutMe Chloé's driver]] [[TakenForGranite to stone]].
* Marinette's little meltdown is just as adorable as it is funny.
* Chat Noir tries to hide Marinette from La Befana but realizes that Scarlet Lady led the villainess right to her granddaughter. Chat Noir's fury while Scargives a DefensiveWhat makes it priceless.
* Scarlet Lady decides to use the Lucky Charm when La Befana tells her "Cowardly bugs get coal, Scarlet Brat."
* While La Befana turning Marinette into coal is not funny, an [[BerserkButton outraged]] Chat Noir putting the Lucky Charm in form of a tuba over her head certainly is. He is so utterly furious that even Scar is intimidated enough to listen to him.
-->'''Caption:''' [[WebVideo/DragonBallZAbridged You pushed the Marinette button, you shouldn't have pushed the Marinette button]].
* Chloé, who forced her classmates to invite her, complains about Lila being invited.
* Lila's present is a mask she wants to get rid of because it reminds her of Scarlet Lady.
-->'''Caption:''' You've heard of Liar Rossi, now get ready for [[BrutalHonesty No Filter]] Rossi!
* Lila apologizes for her {{Celebrity Lie}}s and is surprised when she's EasilyForgiven by most of the class. She then nervously laughs when [[ObliviousGuiltSlinging Kim reassures her that it's not like she tried to trick them into doing her homework or carrying her things for her]]; she knows she would've done just that had she not been caught.
-->'''Lila:''' HAHAHAHA! Yeah, who would do that?!\\
'''Lila:''' ''[thinking, in a sweat]'' ''They can never know...''
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Kung Food: Tales of Wang Cheng the Chef]]
* The chapter titles together form a HurricaneOfPuns about food: "Let's Taco Bout It," "Lettuce Work Together," "Romaine Calm," "In Queso Didn't Know," "Don't Cry Over Spilled Milk," "Cake It Easy," "Don't Clam Up!," "Once in a Melon," "You're The Wurst," "Brie It On," "You Make Miso Happy," "The Pesto's Yet To Come," and "Camembert To Brie Apart."
* Marinette does some ComicalOverreacting when Cheng Shifu tears off some petals from the flowers she gave him (from the canon episode, we know he wants to use the petals as a soup ingredient).
* Adrien jumps at the chance to help Marinette using his Mandarin skills and quickly arrives at her house after getting a call from Alya. [[BlatantLies He says he was in the neighborhood]], but the narration reveals he "ran right over," which is evident from his huffing and sweating.
* When she realizes that Cheng Shifu speaks French, Marinette pouts.
* Both Marinette and Adrien are surprised when Mayor Bourgeois speaks to Cheng Shifu with almost JapanesePoliteness. The author notes, "TFW the local asshole's father is respectful and it knocks you off balance."
* Adrien's reaction when Chloé asks him to intervene in a conversation between her and Marinette:
-->'''Chloé:''' So it's '''''your''''' Uncle competing, Marinette Dupain-Cheng? Only a loser would try to compete with soup! As a judge, I'll be sure to fail him.\\
'''Marinette:''' Well, it's a good thing there are 4 other judges with better taste than you!\\
'''Chloé:''' Hey! Adrien, are you gonna let her talk to me like that?!\\
'''Adrien:''' Did she say something wrong?\\
'''Chloé:''' Ugh! You're gonna regret this!
* After Adrien explains that Cheng plans to use the flowers in his soup, he asks who wouldn't love Marinette. Her response?
-->'''Marinette:''' [[RhetoricalQuestionBlunder Uh, Chloé, Scarlet Lady, jury's still out on your dad...]]\\
'''Adrien:''' I meant people with '''''taste.'''''
* When Cheng explains that his soup was sabotaged, he wonders who would do something. Both Adrien and Marinette instantly realize it was Chloé.
* When Hawkmoth akumatizes Cheng, he's frustrated at the fact he has to explain himself to ''another'' foreigner.
* Tikki's reaction when she realizes that Chloé left her behind.
* Chloé is so distracted by her phone call, [[FailedASpotCheck she doesn't notice Kung Food's slaves approaching her]].
* While hanging on a rope over boiling soup, Chloé [[NeverMyFault insists that she has done absolutely nothing to deserve this]] and [[SkewedPriorities worries that her hair is going to smell]].
* When Kung Food sends out his minions to find Marinette and Chat Noir, Jagged Stone pulls off a Naruto Run.
* When fighting Jagged Stone (who's wielding a seafood club), Chat Noir makes such a horrible pun that [[LamePunReaction Marinette can't help but comment on it]].
-->'''Chat Noir:''' This [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scampi scampi]] happening!\\
'''Marinette:''' ''[with SweatDrop]'' Chat, oh my gawd.
* Marinette pulls a variation of DoorJudo on Jagged Stone. She yells, "Hey Jagged Stone! I think [[BerserkButton XY]] is more rock n' roll than you!" When he charges at her, she dodges, pulling open the closet door behind her. Due to going TooFastToStop, Jagged falls inside the closet, allowing Chat Noir to lock him in with a chair.
** Chat Noir and Marinette casually fist-bumping each other as the former slides the chair in place just seals it.
** A tagline also mentions what Marinette apparently did afterwards offscreen:
--->'''Tags:''' #Marinette stops to wash her mouth out with soap for slandering Jagged Stone like that
* Instead of the cold reply that canon Ladybug made to Chat Noir's [[TerriblePickUpLines lame pick-up line]] in the elevator, "We could go places," Marinette blushes and babbles--which makes Chat Noir blush as well.
-->'''Caption:''' Anime didn't prepare him for when the flirting [[AchievementsInIgnorance WORKS!]]
** Embarrassed Marinette is grateful for the MomentKiller when the elevator suddenly stops, thinking, "Oh thank God!"
* The mayor is CaughtMonologuing and gets an [[KilledMidSentence instant KO from Chat Noir]].
** Kung Food calls him an idiot and useless; Chloé agrees.
** A tagline for the page where the mayor is caught monologuing suggests this to be "why The Mime was actually formidable."
* Chloé is scared of falling into the boiling hot soup beneath her... as [[ComicallyMissingThePoint it will ruin her hair]].
-->'''Tikki:''' [[DumbassHasAPoint You]] '''''[[DumbassHasAPoint almost]]''''' [[DumbassHasAPoint have a point there]].
* When Kung Food starts sending his minions, Hawkmoth warns him to take down Chat Noir before attacking Marinette since "Attacking the girl never ends well." Later, Alec makes her eyes sting with smelly cheese... which makes Chat Noir ''goes berserk'' on him and Marlena while Hawkmoth {{Facepalm}}s and laments, [[IWarnedYou "Dammit, what did I tell you?"]] The caption sums it up perfectly:
--->'''Marinette:''' Gets some dust in her eyes.\\
'''Chat Noir:''' YOU MOTHER-!
* As a funny EasterEgg, every time the front of Kung Food's shirt is shown, there is a different face emoji on it.
* When Chat Noir rescues Chloé from Kung Food, she starts to [[ComplainingAboutRescuesTheyDontLike complain immediately]]. The annoyed Chat Noir just cuts her short, and Chloé then declares that she will put "him" in his place. Tikki wonders if she means Kung Food or Chat Noir.
* Chloé is finally able to transform, and she confidently invokes "Lucky Charm." Kung Food then produces a {{BFS}} made of pepperoni pizza, scaring her so much that she lets the Lucky Charm hit her on the head.
* Marinette manages to subdue Wang Cheng long enough for Chat Noir to hit him with a Cataclysm and free the corrupted akuma, much to Scarlet Lady's chagrin.
-->'''Scarlet Lady:''' I could've done that!\\
'''Marinette:''' Then why '''''didn't''''' you?
* At the end, Wang Cheng is given another chance for his entry. When Chloé tries to ruin the mood, Adrien points out that she was kicked off the jury by her father. [[BlatantLies She tries to save face by claiming she resigned]], but Adrien points to the camera in the kitchen, showing that Chloé didn't think that the place was being monitored and that she couldn't talk her way out of it this time since she was [[CaughtOnTape caught in the act]]. Chloé can only give a flustered response to all of this. Even the caption calls her out on her stupidity.
-->'''Caption:''' How can you forget CAMERAS exist?!
* There's quite a bit of DramaticIrony when Adrien tells Master Fu about the fight. Fu notes how it's strange that Scarlet Lady didn't show up to save Chloé despite claiming to be her best friend, but Adrien just dismisses the whole thing because both Chloé and Scarlet Lady are liars.
-->'''Tags:''' #Fu's trying to have valid points Adrien stop shutting them down!
** Also, the caption indicates that Adrien is doing this because he'd rather talk about Marinette.
** There's also humor in the DramaticIrony of Adrien being RightForTheWrongReasons: Sacrlet Lady did lie about [[FriendOfMaskedSelf being best friends with Chloé]] because they're actually the same person.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Evillustrator: Tales of Nathaniel the Artist]]
* The Marinette in Nathaniel's comic-book fantasy says, "You're amazing and [[OutOfCharacter totally write me completely in character]]."
* Adrien's DeathGlare when Chloé shows Nathaniel's drawings to the class and exposes the latter's crush on Marinette. He even manages to crush a pen with his bare hands, much to Nino's shock.
--->'''Caption:''' I guess Adrien could afford to break a tablet pen like it's nothing.
* Hawkmoth lampshades how [[BreakingTheFourthWall early in the episode]] Nathaniel is akumatized. He also notes how the latter has "a Chloé Bourgeois grudge" and says that they make things fun for him.
* When Sabrina and Marinette ask Chloé why exactly she'll be too busy to work on their project, Chloé claims it's none of their business. The next panel shows her looking up Scarlet Lady pictures.
* Evillustrator attacks Chloé with a giant hair dryer. Chloé cries, "Aahhhh no! Mercy! Not my hair!"
** There's also a small picture of Sabrina's head showing her [[NoSympathy smugly reacting to Chloé's plight with a satisfied, "Ha!"]]
** Marinette and Sabrina decide to just head to the former's house and [[ScrewThisImOuttaHere leave Chloé to her own devices]].
* Chat Noir arrives and annoys Evillustrator with his puns, [[ScrewThisImOuttaHere making the akuma leave]].
* Chloé tries to make Chat do her homework for her, and when he refuses, she tells him he should leave if he won't do anything useful. [[ThreatBackfire So he does.]]
* After Marinette agrees to go on a date with Evillustrator, Sabrina asks her what she's going to do about it. Marinette says she'll have to find a way to let Chat Noir know about it, only for Chat to ''[[AndHereHeComesNow immediately]]'' show up and ask in a panic if she's alright, having seen the akuma leave through her window.
-->'''Caption:''' Well, it all worked out in the end.
* Sabrina is [[{{Fangirl}} beside herself]] that she gets to meet Chat Noir and that he remembers her name (not knowing he probably wouldn't if she weren't his classmate).
* Sabrina tells Marinette that her first day without Chloé was amazing. This causes Chloé to [[SneezeCut sneeze]]. It gets even better when an unamused Chloé has to do her work herself.
* Marinette dresses up for the date, including wearing her hair in braids rather than pigtails. Chat Noir feels ''extremely'' envious, saying to himself that she's wasting that look on the akuma.
* Evillustrator says that he always keeps his promises (in this case, he agreed he wouldn't hurt Chloé if Marinette went out with him). This is followed by a DescriptionCut to Alix, who is annoyed that Nathaniel has seemingly abandoned their plans to hang out on his birthday.
* Marinette's reaction to Evillustrator claiming that she is just like Chloé. The villain is terrified.
* Marinette bemoans her moral dilemma of whether to continue helping Chat Noir (and thus break her promise and make him worry) or leaving him to depend on a useless partner. Master Fu offers to walk her home, clearly ready to offer her a Miraculous, but she says, "Excuse me, I'm not done spiraling."
* A page of RapidFireComedy when Evillustrator goes after Chloé:
** Tikki [[DeadpanSnarker snarks]] about Chloé's terrible "traumatized by hair dryers" excuse for not doing her homework, with Chloé agreeing [[SkewedPriorities since "hairdryers can't dull my beauty"]] ([[ComicallyMissingThePoint rather than how lame the excuse is]]).
** Tikki and Chloé find out Evillustrator broke into the hotel [[MundaneUtility by having the Kwami to phase through the wall to check what's happening on the other side]]. [[HereWeGoAgain The two are exasperated more than anything else about having to fight yet another akuma.]]
** Scarlet [[BlatantLies boasts how she'd never let her]] [[ButHeSoundsHandsome "good friend" Chloé]] come to harm, only for Chat Noir to [[WhatTheHellHero not so subtly remind her]] [[ContinuityNod of how she nearly "let" Chloé be made into Kung Food's soup]], [[DramaticIrony not knowing]] that [[BruceWayneHeldHostage Chloé IS Scarlet Lady]].
* Chat Noir growls and glares at Evillustrator [[AwesomenessIsAForce hard enough to make him flinch]], then [[OneHitKill KO]]'s him with a hard throw of the small bouncy ball that Scarlet Lady gets as a Lucky Charm. As the author notes, Evillustrator "shouldn't have pushed the [[BerserkButton Marinette button]]."
* The next day, Marinette gets startled by Adrien's sudden appearance when she closes her locker and asks him if he was hiding in one of the other lockers just so he could surprise her like that. He nervously denies it, making her realize that he really was.
* Marinette's over-the-top expressions when she tells Adrien about her promise not to get involved in akuma fights anymore, which means she's forced to leave Chat Noir to rely on Scarlet Lady, who is "the worst."
* Nathaniel then gets startled ''twice'', first by Sabrina, then by Alix.
* Alix is initially annoyed that Nathaniel ditched their plans for his birthday and ignored her texts. Then he tells her why he abandoned her yesterday...
-->'''Alix:''' ''[[[EasilyForgiven fist-bumping Nathaniel]]]'' [[SeenItAll Welcome to the birthday akuma club!]]\\
'''Sabrina:''' ''[{{sweatdrops}}s]'' You guys need therapy.\\
'''Caption:''' Everybody needs therapy U_U
* Master Fu briefly considers giving Marinette the Ox, but he says it "may be hard for a teenager to hide." Marinette is lucky, because the jewelry for the Ox Kwami Stompp is a nose ring.
* When Master Fu is deciding which Miraculous to give Marinette, Wayzz asks him [[OnceDoneNeverForgotten if he's going to put it in her purse again]]. Fu [[BigNo quickly denies that]].
[[/folder]]
!!Season 3
[[folder:Vanisher: Tales of Sabrina the Invisible]]
* When Chloé wakes up to her cell phone alarm, she starts complaining about how the butler should have woken her up earlier. The lurking Vanisher (assuming Chloé is [[ThinkingOutLoud talking to herself]]) thinks "She sure likes the sound of her own voice." Though Chloé does talk to herself a lot, in this case, she is probably speaking to Tikki.
* The casual way the other students take the disappearance of Chloé (with Lila laughing and saying the mocking pictures on the board are telling the truth) contrasts with the [[AndIMustScream horrifying situation]] Chloé is actually in. She's at the mercy of Vanisher, is completely helpless, can't open doors, and won't even be able to eat or drink anything unless the akuma provides it. Sinc she and the earrings are in one dimension while Tikki is in another, there's no transformation or WorldHealingWave available. The situation, some might say, CrossesTheLineTwice.
* Chloé has true ComedicSociopathy. She [[NeverMyFault never admits fault]] even when an angry akuma has pushed her down and has a sharp foot pointed at her chest.
-->'''Vanisher:''' ...You're the one who messed up, '''remember'''?\\
'''Chloé:''' Impossible. I '''never''' mess up!
* The flashback to the day before: Chloé and Sabrina are about to have lunch when Chloé notices Jagged Stone is at the hotel and being interviewed by Nadja Chamak. First, Jagged [[ThisIsGonnaSuck isn't very happy]] when Chloé notices him. Secondly, Chloé starts going on about how she and Scarlet Lady are best friends who hung out yesterday in the hopes of getting an interview herself, only for Sabrina to point out that ''she'' is Chloé's best friend and that they were actually working on their school project yesterday. Chloé glares at Sabrina each time, with the comic using ''the exact same panel''.
* Jagged calls Chloé "the little psycho who almost poisoned me." He is not amused. Nadja thinks, "What a scoop! Isn't that the mayor's daughter!?"
* Chloé seems to have forgotten her situation as she runs around calling, "Daddy, I'm right here, pay attention to me!" and "Everyone, stop ignoring me!" The author adds, "Just a crumb of attention." This is really getting to her where she lives.
* In practically the same breath as calling for his missing daughter, the mayor adds, "And all your clothes!? They were expensive!"
* [[https://zoe-oneesama.tumblr.com/post/642952118414770176/may-we-please-get-a-close-up-of-plagg-in-that-last Plagg's face]] when he eats the cheese Adrien gave him.
* Adrien crosses his RageBreakingPoint and flies into a rage after hearing that Scarlet Lady won't be coming for the ''third time in a row''. It ends with him curled up in a TroubledFetalPosition.
* Master Fu tells Tikki to go with Chat Noir to help stop the akuma but warns her to only use the WorldHealingWave and not Lucky Charm. While Adrien is questioning this, Tikki has an ImagineSpot of Chat Noir being buried under ''countless'' ladybug-patterned items. [[FreezeFrameBonus If you carefully check,]] [[ContinuityNod most of the items in the pile are ones that Scarlet Lady has previously summoned]].
* The fact that Chloé ''still'' hasn't stopped shouting at people despite knowing that no one can hear her.
* There's something oddly humorous about [[BigGood Master Fu]] [[RefugeInAudacity walking through the front door of the Dupain-Cheng bakery]] [[TheCallKnowsWhereYouLive to make sure that Marinette gets the Miraculous this time]] [[TaughtByExperience to make sure nothing goes wrong]].
* Chloé's increasing desperation to have ''someone'' [[AttentionWhore pay attention to her]].
* Marinette gets surprised by another Kwami.
* Pollen gives a little giggle when Marinette asks if she can help Chat Noir and a little hum when Marinette asks for instructions.
* [[MassOhCrap Everyone]] having a genuine FreakOut about [[BigDamnHeroes Marigold's]] [[BigEntrance grand debut]]. It becomes even funnier when you think about their (escalating) reasons:
** Vanisher: She genuinely DidntSeeThatComing, [[CripplingOverspecialization having only prepared for Chat Noir and (possibly) Scarlet Lady]], unaware [[BruceWayneHeldHostage she already had the latter at her mercy]].
** Chat Noir: He's probably concerned that he, [[RuleOfThree yet]] [[ContinuityNod again]], [[ThisIsGonnaSuck might have to deal with]] '''ANOTHER''' [[GloryHound obnoxious female teenager]] [[FakeUltimateHero "pretending to be a heroine"]] (unaware that this one ACTUALLY has Paris and [[BattleCouple especially HIS]] [[ViolentlyProtectiveGirlfriend best interests at heart]]).
** Tikki: Aside from also [[DidntSeeThatComing not seeing that coming]], once she learns Marigold's secret identity, she'll have to deal with being yet again [[BreakTheCutie denied Marinette by fate]].
** Chloé: She is [[HateAtFirstSight absolutely livid]] that [[ItsAllAboutMe there's another superheroine in Paris]], [[SpotlightStealingSquad threatening to steal her spotlight]].
** Hawkmoth: An AtomicFBomb marks the beginnings of an episode-long VillainousBreakdown; [[CrossesTheLineTwice he even gets]] [[EvenEvilHasStandards scolded by Nathalie for swearing while psychically linked to a child]].
* Without Scarlet Lady to do it, how does the akuma get purified? Tikki ''eats'' it and then ''spits out'' the Miraculous Cure.
** Tikki trying to say "Miraculous Ladybug" with an akuma in her mouth. It sounded like "Mwaculush... Bladybub!" Marigold and Chat Noir are shocked by Tikki ''spitting out'' the Miraculous Cure.
** It becomes even funnier when reading the author's notes. They note that the heroes are ''plastered against the windows'' because Tikki created so many magical ladybugs for the cure that it fills the building almost to bursting. This is the promised negative consequence of doing the cure without her holder.
* Chloé gets a put-down as Sabrina finally rejects her:
-->'''Chloé:''' You're such a wuss you became an akuma and attacked your '''''best friend'''''!\\
'''Sabrina:''' You are '''''[[FormerFriendOfAlphaBitch not]]''''' [[WeUsedToBeFriends my friend]].\\
'''Chloé:''' Excuse you, '''''[[ComicallyMissingThePoint I]]''''' [[ComicallyMissingThePoint am the one breaking up with]] '''''[[ComicallyMissingThePoint you]]'''''!\\
'''Sabrina:''' Either way, we're not friends, '''stupid'''!
* Hawkmoth rants at how much harder things will be for him now that the heroes have "a bee with a one-hit K.O.?!"
* Chat Noir suggests "New-Bee" as a PunnyName for the Bee heroine, but she takes the name "Marigold" for the flowers she used against Vanisher.
* Marigold has an ExpressiveAccessory: when Chat Noir doesn't respond as warmly as she'd hoped, the hair ribbons on each side of her head droop in disappointment.
* Pollen enthusiastically endorses the name choice of "Marigold," saying it's the "Herb of the Sun," representing "passion and creativity" and also "cruelty and grief--traits often associated with revered queens." Marinette finds this a little off-putting.
* Tikki's use of the Miraculous Cure leaves her with a stomach ache well after the action is over.
* Marinette gets a visit from Chat Noir after the battle. When she says that they were lucky the new Bee heroine showed up, he responds, "I guess." She gets a little anime-style "JAB" arrow to the head from this and then has a ComicalAngryFace with CrossPoppingVeins as she asks, "Something wrong with the new girl, Chat Noir?" She does calms down when he explains that he has trouble trusting other heroes after Scarlet Lady and Volpina, though.
-->'''Caption:''' Came real close to being punched out on my balcony, Noir.
* Marinette offers Pollen a sugarcube while asking what the Kwami likes to eat, thinking it'll be somethin glike sugar, honey, or flower pollen. She gets BlankWhiteEyes of shock when Pollen reveals that her favorite food is ''chili peppers'' instead. They would be hard for Marinette to get from the bakery, but the author says, "... since Marinette is into gardening (she's got those rose bushes on her balcony) she's fine with having a little chili pepper plant just for Pollen."
* Chloé gets a taste of her own medicine--when she makes her dramatic return to school, nobody cares, all of them busy talking about Marigold. The only question Chloé is asked, by Alya, is, "Got any info on the new heroine?" Chloé replies, "NO! Who cares about her?!"
* The difference between Adrien and Marinette hiding their identities: Marinette stays up all night making resin-cast bee accessories to hand out to her friends, claiming she was inspired by Marigold, so that it looks like the Bee Miraculous is [[NeedleInAStackOfNeedles just one more item out of that batch]]. When Nino notices Adrien's ring, Adrien [[BlatantLies just lies]] and says he's had it for years.
* Marinette kindly asks Lila which accessory she would like, not noticing Adrien and Alya's {{Death Glare}}s behind her (as the two are still mad at Lila for stealing the book and lying about being friends with Scarlet Lady on the ''Ladyblog'', respectively). Lila nervously tells Marinette that any one is alright.
* Chloé apparently thinks she's such a target because all the akumas are ''[[YoureJustJealous jealous]]'' of her; Tikki snarks that that's probably not the problem.
* Chloé [[DidntThinkThisThrough finally realizes one big problem with breaking off her friendship with Sabrina]]: she now has to do her own schoolwork.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Riposte: Tales of Kagami the Fencer]]
* Upon meeting with an unsubtle Pollen, Tikki tells her that she has to hide herself to protect Marigold's secret identity. [[TemptingFate Plagg declares it shouldn't be a problem]] since, thanks to the spell on the Kwamis, [[TemptingFate none of them can say their respective holders' names]]... and Pollen promptly points to Marinette and ([[ExactWords without saying her holder's name]]) asks if that means she can't tell them ''that's'' her holder. Cue Tikki crying at the unfairness of it all. (That her chosen holder is even further out of her reach than before, that Pollen figured out a loophole after about three seconds, or both? You make the call!)
* Alix reaches out to Sabrina to see how she's doing after breaking up with Chloé. Lila then makes a "friendly" offer to let Sabrina do her homework, earning a jab in the ribs from Alix.
* Chloé puts up a "BFF Tryouts" list to replace Sabrina, but nobody signs up. When she demands why, [[RhetoricalQuestionBlunder everyone gives legitimate reasons]] [[ZeroPercentApprovalRating for hating her]].
** In addition, Nathaniel just says "You suck" rather than mentioning the event that got him turned into an akuma like everyone else.
** Chloé is outraged and [[{{Hypocrite}} demands to know who asked them]].
* Marinette is interested in the fencing tryouts, saying, "It could be useful!" The author notes, "N-not for any...you know, '''particular''' reason." (Marigold's Venom move is essentially a touché with a short weapon.)
* At tryouts, Marinette quickly defeats Adrien. [[ComicallyMissingThePoint Chloé promptly cheers for her "Adrichéri,"]] who just tells her off for being disruptive and informs her that it was Marinette who got the point in their bout.
* When Kagami shows up to demand a place in the fencing school, Chloé says, "Wow, what a noisy show off." The irony is [[ObliviousToHisOwnDescription lost on her]]. Marinette and Marc both give the bully epic side-eyes.
* It's repeatedly noted that Kagami is needlessly making things harder for herself:
** When told that she needs to defeat one of D'Argencourt's students to be admitted to his fencing school, she immediately challenges his best combatant. The entire team {{sweatdrop}}s as they note than she doesn't have to.
** Kagami suggests that she and Adrien disconnect themselves from the machines. Marc notes that by doing so, she just gave up the only impartial judge she had.
** Kagami pushes Adrien off the mat, which Marinette notes is an illegal move. The taglines even state how counterproductive this is and that it would never be allowed in an official tournament. However, D'Argencourt is so excited by it being [[ComicallyMissingThePoint "real fencing"]] that he doesn't do anything about it.
** She also drives the bout up the stairs and away from all the qualified observers.
--->'''Tags:''' None of you are going to finals with rule breaking moves like that
* There are three witnesses that D'Argencourt asks about the results of the fencing match: Marc, Marinette, and Chloé. Marc panics and abstains, Marinette in a fluster tries to analyze the rule breakage (which is promptly rejected), and Chloé instantly makes a partisan call in favor of Adrien. D'Argencourt accepts Chloé's opinion without a second thought and calls it a "clear victory" for his school, much to Marinette's incredulity.
* When Kagami accepts the decision of the referee that she lost, Chloé gloats, "See? Even '''she''' knows to listen to her '''superiors'''." [[BullyingADragon Kagami responds by driving her saber into the floor right next to Chloé's foot]]. The author notes, "Real close to losing a toe there, Chlo."
* When they see Kagami's face, both Adrien and Marinette [[SpeakInUnison think in unison]], "Shit she's cute."
* Chloé ''gets excited'' when she sees the akuma going after Kagami; Tikki just complains that she doesn't get enough cookies for having to put up with her holder.
* The RunningGag of akuma victims from outside Paris having ''no idea'' what's going on continues. Kagami watches wide-eyed as the butterfly wiggles through the car door and looks completely flummoxed when Hawkmoth starts talking to her. The author quips, "Welcome to our fair city, Kagami!"
* Scarlet Lady has a ZeroPercentApprovalRating with Marinette and Adrien. When Riposte appears, they shout, "Oh no, she's an '''akuma'''!" When Scar shows up, they yell, [[FromBadToWorse "Even worse!"]]
* Adrien's driver is neglected again. The author notes, "Maybe worry about your driver who just hopped an intersection in half a car." The tags add, "#i'm sure he's fine," referring back to what Chat Noir said in "Simon Says" when he sent The Gorilla crashing down in a broken elevator.
* Riposte declares, "This won't take long!" when she starts attacking Scarlet Lady before her "rematch" with Adrien. Scar replies, "Rude!"
* Scarlet Lady gives a [[JerkassHasAPoint for once deserved]] WhatTheHellHero to Marigold, saying, "You got my prince hurt?! I should fire you, you wanna-bee." However, the author notes, "Scar you don't have the authority to fire anyone."
* Marigold hides Adrien in a sarcophagus at the Louvre, which isn't good for his claustrophobia. But because she [[ButHeSoundsHandsome praises Chat Noir]] by saying, "Yeah, don't you know? He's the '''real''' hero of Paris," he forgives her for locking him in the case, and his respect meter for het goes up a bit more.
* Marigold does a literal {{Facepalm}} when she realizes that Scarlet Lady allowed Riposte to follow her to the Louvre, where Marigold hid Adrien. "Oh my gawd, you're so stupid," she laments.
* When Chat Noir arrives, he and Marigold engage in WittyBanter similar to the lines between him and Ladybug in canon.
-->'''Chat Noir:''' There's a fencing tournament at the Louvre and I wasn't invited?\\
'''Marigold:''' Well don't take so long at the vet!\\
'''Chat Noir:''' [[ActuallyPrettyFunny Pft!]]
* When Scarlet Lady begins demanding to know where Adrien is, Chat gets her to leave by pointing out that since she's about to detransform, people will see her with MessyHair. She quickly runs off. Then, as Adrien meets up with Marinette and Kagami, Chloé is glaring at them but doesn't want them to see her hair. Tikki can be seen grinning smugly at her holder's frustration.
* Marinette gives Adrien and Kagami a hug and them has to introduce herself since Kagami never got her name back at the gym. Kagami also has a rather alarmed expression compared to Adrien's very happy one.
* When Marinette and Adrien try to convince Kagami not to give up due to how much D'Argencourt drooled over her match with Adrien, Kagami notes that that's not what Chloé saw but refers to her as Marinette's friend. Marinette makes a disgusted face at that idea, which causes [[NotSoStoic Kagami to laugh]].
* Rather than come up with a name for Kagami's school, the author uses in its place a crossed-out "blah blah blah."
* At the end of the episode, Plagg tells Adrien some bad news:
-->'''Plagg:''' [[LampshadeHanging You do]] [[DidntThinkThisThrough realize that]] [[ThrowTheDogABone by giving the spot to the sword lady]] [[NoGoodDeedGoesUnpunished that you gave up a chance]] [[BittersweetEnding to be on a team with pigtails, right?]]\\

[[folder:Captain Hardrock: Tales of Anarka the Pirate]]
* Alya being completely blown away by how in denial Marinette is of her feelings for Adrien.
* After Anarka tells the kids that everything is allowed on the ''Liberty'', [[IncomingHam Chloé]] promptly shows up. [[DeadpanSnarker Juleka]] then clarifies that everything goes on the ''Liberty'' except '''''[[TheFriendNobodyLikes her]]'''''. [[HateAtFirstSight Anarka agrees]].
** Ivan's solution to getting rid of Chloé is to pick her up, haul her off the ship, and then draw up the gangplank so she can't get back on board.
** Chloé is so furious, vengeful, and petty that she actually goes right to the nearest police officer and files a false noise complaint about the '''Liberty''' before anyone onboard has played a single note. She even rides in the police car and waves to everyone to inform them that she's behind their concert being shut down.
* Alya can dish out the heavy hints about crushes, but she can't take them--she freaks out and blushes when Marinette [[ComicallyMissingThePoint connects one of her friend's hints about her and Adrien to Alya and Nino instead]].
* Gabriel [[KickTheDog revokes his permission for Adrien to attend the concert]]. Plagg tries to comfort him, only to learn [[MoodWhiplash Adrien's got something else on his mind]]:
-->'''Adrien:''' What do you think, [[ContinuityNod pink dye or blue dye this time]]?\\
'''Plagg:''' ''[visibly {{sweatdrop}}ping]''
** Nino then gets a call updating him on the situation... and asking what his favorite color is.
--->'''Nino:''' Adrien, put the credit card down!
** [[FunnyBackgroundEvent Alya and Marinette's reactions]] to Nino's side of the phone call.
--->'''Tags:''' #adrien, we can talk about this rationally and wITHOUT an Amazon Prime account!
* Luka and Marinette's first meeting amounts to an attempt to out-dork each other. Said meeting ends with Marinette slapping her cheeks and thinking, "What are you doing?! Your heart belongs to Chat Noir!" Pollen is confused by her reaction.
* As Adrien watches the reporting on the music festival on TV, Nadja proclaims, [[YourTelevisionHatesYou "You'd have to be a complete loser to miss it!"]]
-->'''Adrien:''' [[LampshadeHanging Why do you mock me, Nadja?]]
* Plagg tries to comfort Adrien by giving a "private concert." To Adrien's dismay, said concert is Plagg's off-key song about how cheese astounds the Kwami. Unlike in canon, where Adrien gives Plagg a gentle, wimpy compliment for his attempt, this version of Adrien covers his ears, throws back his head, and curses.
-->'''Caption:''' Things could always be worse, Adrien.
* Marinette describes Luka as cool, nice, and mature. [[DescriptionCut The next panel]] shows Luka worried about looking cool in front of her.
* Everyone reacting with an [[YouHaveGotToBeKiddingMe "Oh,]] '''[[YouHaveGotToBeKiddingMe C'MON!]]'''[[YouHaveGotToBeKiddingMe "]] when they realize that Chloé is the one who submitted the noise complaint.
* As Roger begins ticketing Anarka for various {{Felony Misdemeanor}}s, one is because he got seasick. In canon, he could have gotten this motion sickness from standing on the gangplank. Here, no gangplank means he's standing on the rock-solid dock.
* Officer Roger has to deliver his tickets as paper airplanes because Anarka didn't put the gangplank back down after Chloé left. What makes it funnier is that Anarka waits for him to do this before responding.
* When Hawkmoth proposes to give Captain Hardrock an indestructible ship to blast her music, she says, "Oh yeah that's a way better plan. I was just not gonna pay the tickets." The author comments, "Nobody thought you were gonna pay the tickets."
* Chloé thinks Luka is cute, though badly dressed. She expects him to swoon from her name alone, but when he hears it, he instead gives her an ugly look, [[ZeroPercentApprovalRating having plenty about her from Juleka]]. Clueless Chloé asks, "What's that look for?" As the author says, "Your reputation precedes you."
* Chloé doesn't care that her father might be in danger, but as soon as Tikki mentions that her CelebCrush XY might be as well, [[SkewedPriorities she suddenly starts caring]].
* When Captain Hardrock captures the teenagers on her ship, the chains she summons bind Ivan to Mylène, Juleka to Rose, Luka to Marinette, and Alya to Nino. As the author jokes, [[ShipperOnDeck "The ship is a shipper!"]]
* After Anarka is akumatized, thus interfering with the music festival, the news caption changes to "No fun allowed," [[SeenItAll with Nadja looking more fed up than anything else]]. This is juxtaposed with Chat Noir rejoicing at the danger reported on the news, happy that he now has an excuse to unground himself and can even check in on his friends. Then he sees Scarlet Lady heading the same direction. "Good feeling gone," he sighs. In the end tags the author says, "#scar really knows how to suck the joy out of anything."
* Marigold and Scarlet Lady exchange some burns. The author says in the end notes, "Marigold bringing extra SASS today."
-->'''Marigold:''' It's harder to sneak away than I thought.\\
'''Scarlet Lady:''' Ha! That just proves how much of a '''''new-bee''''' you are!\\
'''Marigold:''' Must be easy for you because you don't '''''have''''' friends.
* When Captain Hardrock and Chat Noir are dueling, she calls him a scallywag, landlubber, and bilge rat. He [[InsistentTerminology insists]] that he's a bilge ''[[ITakeOffenseToThatLastOne cat]]''.
* As the members of Kitty Section and their friends beach the ship, [[ThisIsGonnaSuck Luka laments how sore they're all going to be tomorrow]].
* Scarlet Lady brags, "Your hero has once again saved the day." Someone in the crowd (who took part in beaching the ship) asks, "Uh, didn't '''we''' save the day?" [[IRejectYourReality Scar loudly denies it.]]
* When Adrien says to his father that he hopes they can play the piano together since he can't go to his friends' concert, Gabriel changes his mind and allows Adrien to attend the concert so that Adrien won't know Gabriel hasn't played ''in ten years''.
* Rose yelling out that she and Juleka are dating by working it into the song lyrics... which completely went against Juleka's plan to stay ''out'' of the spotlight.
* Luka and Adrien both cheerily compliment Marinette. After Luka calls her "cute," [[ExplainExplainOhCrap Adrien begins to say "Gorgeo--" before finally realizing he now has a love rival]]. The fact that Adrien gives Luka a jealous DeathGlare as he catches on while Luka simply responds with a knowing smug makes it even better.

[[folder:Syren: Tales of Ondine the Mermaid]]
* As in "Kung Food," [[HurricaneOfPuns every title has a pun]], this time sea related: "Fintastic," "Mermaid For Each Other," "Totally Shellfish," "Shorely You're Joking," "It's O-fish-al!," "Seas the Day," "A Bit Over-whale-ming," "That was on Porpoise!," "A Crabby Day," "You're Krilling Me," "Oh the Humanatee," "Let Minnow What You Think," "Oh, For Shore!," "We're Manta Be," "Sea You Later," and "Feeling a Little Jelly."
* The fact that the animals somehow escaped from the zoo so easily is lampshaded when Kim and Ondine (and a random bystander), clearly worried, wonder how that could have happened. The author notes in the tags that she initially thought it was because Animan (who hasn't yet appeared in the comic) had returned in the canon episode.
-->'''Tags:''' #nope! they just GOT OUT
* Kim unknowingly calls himself an idiot. Ondine thinks he's not wrong. The author quips, "Just know what you're signing up for, Ondine."
* When Kim runs off to the movies, Ondine reaches out a hand and calls out to him making it look like she's going to say something like "Stay, I love you!" Instead, she yells, "At least take off the swim cap!"
* Marigold lures the escaped panthers into the van by using her spinning top like a cat toy.
* Chloé isn't interested in helping to round up the zoo animals... until she sees Chat Noir and Marigold being interviewed. [[NeverMyFault She's then furious over being excluded from that]].
* After Chat Noir and Marigold finish up with the animals and the resulting interview, [[IRejectYourReality Scarlet Lady accuses them of keeping that a secret from her]]... prompting Chat Noir to point out that she literally just told them ''she saw them on TV''.
* Chat Noir reveals that he actually does know where Marigold got her Miraculous from, and he's not telling Scarlet Lady. He even says this while sticking his tongue out, causing the Ladybug heroine to throw a tantrum.
** He later privately admits to Marigold that he doesn't actually know much more than Scarlet does but still relishes in her not knowing that.
** Marigold seeing this [[NotSoAboveItAll unpleasant side]] of Chat Noir doesn't quite reach BrokenPedestal, but she still {{sweatdrop}}s as she sighs, "You can be pretty childish when you want to." The author justifies, "Well, Marigold, when you're dealing with a child, sometimes you have to stoop to their level."
* The FunnyBackgroundEvent of the man cleaning in the background, only to then notice the akuma flying towards Ondine and run away.
* Chloé is so annoyed over Chat Noir and Marigold keeping secrets from her that she forgets she was supposed to be seeing a movie with the rest of the class. Tikki [[TheGadfly decides not to remind her]].
* It seems Marinette has a reputation for being prompt. The author notes in the tags, "#alya you gotta get used to Marinette being late to things now that she has her... side job."
* When the group at the theater realize their bully isn't coming, [[AndThereWasMuchRejoicing all of them throw up their arms delightedly and rejoice in unison, "Chloé didn't come!"]]
* When Master Fu forbids Plagg and Wayzz from entering his lab to prevent them from learning any power-up recipes, Plagg tells Wayzz he's "gonna break [Fu's] pots."
* Master Fu and Adrien comment on how Scarlet Lady is upset by Marigold's presence and being left out of the loop. After a {{Beat Panel}}, Master Fu shrugs it off with a dismissive [[NoSympathy "sucks for her"]] that Adrien wholeheartedly agrees with.
* Chloé doesn't want to help fight the akuma flooding Paris because [[SkewedPriorities it would get her hair wet]]. Tikki points out that the water is rising to the level of her apartment.
-->'''Tikki:''' Looks like your hair's getting wet either way.\\
'''Chloé:''' '''''[[BigNo NOOOOO!]] Not Seine water! Fish pee there!'''''
* Marinette and Adrien have a little more advance warning of the flood than Marinette did in canon, in which she only noticed water coming into the theater when her feet started getting wet. The two are able to slip away without Alya noticing; she turns to first one and then the other, only to find them both gone. The author jokes, "It's too late, Alya. The Seine has them now."
* When Scarlet Lady shows up and berates Marigold and Chat Noir for being slow, they ignore her.
* When Master Fu berates Chat for revealing the former's identity and location to Marigold, she initially sides with Fu but instantly changes her mind when Chat justifies it by saying she's his friend, with a caption arrow noting that [[LoveMakesYouDumb "Love makes her stupid."]] Master Fu facepalms in frustration.
* Needing an ingredient for the aqua power-up formula, Marigold comes up with the idea to contribute [[SoUnfunnyItsFunny lame jokes]], with Chat Noir quickly adding his own. They successfully make Master Fu laugh, which brings a "tear of joy" to his eyes.
* When Scarlet Lady sees the powered-up Chat Noir and Marigold, she once again expresses annoyance about them keeping secrets from her and decides that if they aren't going to tell her everything, they should just fight the akuma without her. They tell her that they would actually do that if they could and [[ForceFeeding force feed]] the potion to her. In the caption, the author jokes, "Don't worry about the weird taste, I'm sure that's nothing."
* Kim doesn't recognize Syren as an akumatized Ondine until she references her failed confession, causing him to realize that ''he'' was the idiot she was telling him about.
* When the three superheroes show up in their aqua forms to confront Syren, Hawkmoth is shown ''jealously pouting'', complaining "Not fair."
* Kim's LoveEpiphany when Marigold checks on him is both sweet and hilarious. To quote the author, "Give him a break, each word had to hit individually."
-->'''Marigold:''' How are you holding up?\\
'''[[ComicallyMissingThePoint Kim]]:''' Ha! [[TheSmartGuy Max]] [[StealthInsult says I'm]] [[ObliviousToLove too dense]] [[InsultBackfire to let the]] '''''[[WesternAnimation/Frozen2013 cold]]''''' [[WesternAnimation/Frozen2013 bother me!]]\\

'''Kim:''' [[OhCrap Oh. Right.]] [[LoveEpiphany Ondine is in love with me.]] '''''[[DelayedReaction Wow.]]'''''
* Once Kim has calmed down and offered Ondine his sweatshirt so she won't be cold (remember, it's February, and dried off by the Miraculous Cure or not, [[SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome Ondine's swimsuit is not suited for regular winter weather]]), Chat mischievously points out that he and Marigold can get them back to the pool faster than if Kim just carries Ondine himself. Kim IMMEDIATELY declines, [[BridalCarry hugging Ondine and planning on carrying the blushing girl]] the whole way, [[CrazyJealousGuy not wanting to share the responsibility]].
* When Scarlet Lady demands to know where the potion came from, Chat Noir and Marigold are depicted with little halos above their heads and innocent-looking faces. Then Chat Noir tells her it's none of her business--and warns her to leave before she loses the '''only''' secret she has (her SecretIdentity).
* Fu [[WhatTheHellHero finishes dressing down Chat Noir]] for bringing Marigold to him and punishes Chat by making him bring down and reorganize the entirety of Fu's pantry of ingredients by himself. On the plus side, he agrees to train both Chat Noir and Marigold (just separately).
* Marigold [[ComicallyMissingThePoint misunderstands]] when Master Fu says they can put the power-up formulas into forms that will suit their Kwamis. [[ThisIsGonnaSuck "But that means I'll be eating chili peppers!"]] she thinks. Later, Marinette bravely tries to eat a purple-tinted pepper, but Pollen stops her, clarifying, "You don't have to eat those for me, my Queen!"
* Gabriel's dramatic declaration that he must track down the Guardian at all costs is undercut by his ImagineSpot of [[https://zoe-oneesama.tumblr.com/post/655272320605339648/eat-it-gabe-episode-24-part-16-first a sparkling, finned version of his villainous alter ego]] striking a pose in the background.

[[folder:Dark Cupid: Tales of Kim the Romantic]]
* Max derails Mme. Bustier's lesson about how kisses in fairytales break spells with ThePowerOfLove by pointing out that the majority of those kisses aren't consensual, complete with giving their teacher some glorious side-eye over the subject matter. Bustier [[ChangeTheUncomfortableSubject nervously deflects]] rather than getting into any of the conversations ''THAT'' could spark.
* In a bit of a MoodWhiplash, Kagami's silent, smiling support of Ondine potentially getting a RelationshipUpgrade with Kim is followed by the casual thought of [[IfYouEverDoAnythingToHurtHer "If he hurts her, I'll maim him."]]
* When Marinette and Alya see the gift Kim is planning to give someone, Alya excitedly guesses it's for Ondine while Marinette says, darkly, "It had ''better'' be Ondine."
* Chloé snatches the poem Adrien was working on right off his desk, then [[ComicallyMissingThePoint cluelessly informs him that he got his description of her wrong]]. When he tells her it isn't for her, she demands to know whom it's for. Adrien's too embarrassed to admit the poem is for Marinette, so he claims it's for [[DramaticIrony Marigold]], to the shock of everyone, including his crush.
** Adrien {{lampshades}} how everyone, including Marinette, now thinks he's in love with the Bee heroine. He then admits it could've been worse; he might've said it was [[NominalHero Scarlet]] [[AlphaBitch Lady]].
** The poem he was working on was intended for Marinette, and he'd planned on giving it to her... as Chat Noir. [[DramaticIrony It's as though he was trying to create a]] TwoPersonLoveTriangle
** Marinette is embarrassed about Adrien's (apparent) crush on her superhero identity but notes it's flattering and brave to put himself out there. Pollen is just echoing her words in response all the while, almost like a YesMan. In contrast, Alya is outside the bathroom and seemingly hears her best friend talking to herself, [[ComicallyMissingThePoint saying Marinette has a funny way of handling "bad news."]]
** Alya's utter ''bafflement'' that Nino, unlike her, has NOT made it a priority to pry into his bestie's love life and know all about his crushes.
* Chloé's response to Adrien writing a love poem for someone else is [[IRejectYourReality to make a valentine for herself on his behalf]]. Tikki straight up tells her she's pathetic.
* Despite being part of Adrien's fan club, [[EveryoneHasStandards Aurore finds Mireille hugging a poster of Adrien taped to a pillar to be a bit much]]. Mireille just shushes her, though.
* Chloé brags to the girls ogling a poster of Adrien that she has one with his signature on it. To her chagrin, they immediately note that it's not his handwriting and deduce she forged it.
-->'''Suhayla:''' Hey, that's not Adrien's handwriting!\\
'''Aurore:''' We're his fanclub, who're you trying to fool?\\
'''Unknown Fangirl:''' Lying about that, that's so pathetic!\\
'''Chloé:''' ''[clutching her poster]'' '''''How dare you?!'''''
* Alya trying to help Marinette confess her feelings to her crush. Thing is [[OneDialogueTwoConversations Marinette is talking about Chat Noir while Alya assumes it's Adrien]]. With the both of them eventually realizing they're talking about two different people (who, ironically, are the same person).
* One of the couples Dark Cupid ends up attacking is Rose and Juleka, shooting the former. [[HairOfGoldHeartOfGold Rose]] being [[AllLovingHero Rose]], her hate-filled insults [[PokeThePoodle aren't really that effective]].
-->'''Rose:''' I hate how tall and gorgeous you are! Makes me sick!\\
'''Juleka:''' [[InsultBackfire Am I supposed to be insulted?]]
* When Dark Cupid makes Alya insult Marinette, the latter says she'll ignore the insult because Alya looks good in black lipstick.
* Both Chat Noir and Marigold both find Chloé's framed perfume ad poster of Adrien scary, viewing it as a StalkerShrine of sorts. The author also points out how creepy it is:
-->'''Tags:''' #chloe over here getting a perfume ad poster of adrien framed and hung in her bathroom and you call marinette the crazy one
* Imagining that Dark Cupid is jealous of her [[BelievingTheirOwnLies "signed" Adrien poster]], Chloé [[SkewedPriorities pushes Marigold toward the akuma to protect it]], causing Marigold to be hit by a hate arrow. In the end notes, the author jokes, "Ooh yay! Now you get to match Alya!" (referring to the "black lipstick" effect from the previous issue).
** Darkened Marigold [[PokeThePoodle smashes Chloé's poster with her top]] while attempting to attack Chat Noir, asking her partner, "How do you like '''that'''?" He [[AttackBackfire just smiles]] and says, [[InsultBackfire "I like that very much, thanks,"]] causing Marigold to swear at him.
** Seeing the utterly devastated Chloé in the background [[{{Wangst}} mourning]] her treasured poster ([[BelievingTheirOwnLies seemingly having convinced herself that it really had been signed by Adrien despite the bottom portion with the forged signature having already been torn off]]) makes it even better.
* Marigold challenges Chat to a fight. When he refuses, she scoffs, "Ugh, your kindness and friendliness is insufferable." Chat {{lampshades}} the InsultBackfire: "Wow, you're really bad at being mean. Thank you?" The author compares her to Rose (who "insulted" Juleka by calling her tall and gorgeous).
* Escaping from the hate-filled Marigold, Chloé runs into a potted plant display and faceplants on the ground, covered in dirt. Lila and Sabrina laugh and take pictures, and Sabrina plans to show the pictures to Alix. Chloé complains and wonders if they were hit by the akuma. [[NotBrainwashed "What akuma?"]] they say in unison. They both hate her without any need for an arrow from Dark Cupid, who rolls over in the air laughing.
* Chat Noir is about to take on Marigold and Dark Cupid together. He remains confident he can take them despite being two on one. Then [[TheMillstone Scarlet Lady]] arrives...
-->'''Scarlet Lady:''' I've arrived, sidekick!\\
'''Chat Noir:''' [[ThisIsGonnaSuck Well, there goes my odds.]]
** It gets even funnier when [[SubvertedTrope he's proven wrong]]: Scarlet Lady is so pissed about the day's constant HumiliationConga that she actually ''wants'' to fight Dark Cupid herself and attacks by simply throwing the Lucky Charm (a candy heart) at him. Even Chat Noir's surprised at her gusto.
** After stunning Dark Cupid, Scarlet Lady (rather foolishly) [[note]] luckily for her, Chat Noir's too busy to notice what she said, or else he'd have put two and two together [[/note]] rants about how her day's been going while Chat Noir is still fighting a brainwashed Marigold in the background.
-->'''Chat Noir:''' Scar, I'm glad you're actually pulling your weight for once. But now is '''''not the time!'''''
* The ForcedKiss Chat Noir uses to break the hate spell on Marigold turns into TheBigDamnKiss between them, leading one to suspect that Marigold came to her senses rather quickly and took advantage of the opportunity (though later chapters show this is not the case--like Chat Noir in canon, she doesn't remember anything once the kiss is over). Meanwhile, Scarlet Lady and Dark Cupid are just watching the display with deadpan expressions.
-->'''Scarlet Lady:''' [[GetARoom Do we need to come back at another time?]]\\
'''Marigold:''' Ah! What--? Where?
* Chat Noir [[FastballSpecial throws the confused Marigold at Dark Cupid]]. This uses up her Venom, paralyzing the villain so she can grab his broach.
-->'''Chat Noir:''' Good job, Goldie!\\
'''Marigold:''' ''[with a SweatDrop]'' Yaaaay?
* Chat finds himself in an awkward situation when he realizes Marigold doesn't remember anything after getting shot by Dark Cupid at the hotel. He can't explain in front of Scar, who puts things crudely. So he does a PrivacyByDistraction and pushes them both away because their Miraculous are beeping.
* Adrien [[SeamlessSpontaneousLie explains his valentine to Marigold as not from a crush but from an appreciation of her as a hero of Paris]]. [[ItsAllAboutMe His male vanity is then hurt]] when Marigold is relieved to hear that, even though they barely know each other (except in their other identities).
* Marigold explains to Adrien that she's glad about the above because there is already someone else in her heart and she didn't want to have to let him down. Adrien replies that he does, too, and [[TwoPersonLoveTriangle both of them silently wonder who the other person is in each other's case]].
-->'''Narration:''' [[ObliviousToLove Idiots.]]

* Adrien reassures Kim that he and Kagami are JustFriends. Kagami takes offense:
-->'''Kagami:''' ''[clutching his hands, wide-eyed]'' I thought we were '''''good''''' friends!\\
'''Adrien:''' ''[sparkling dramatically]'' You're absolutely right, I'm so sorry.\\
'''Nino:''' You guys are '''''definitely''''' giving the wrong impression.
* Adrien finally tells his friends that he doesn't have a crush on Marigold. His friends immediately realize that [[EveryoneCanSeeIt the poem was meant for Marinette]]. Meanwhile, Kim is more concerned about what they're supposed to do with all the Marigold swag they've been getting for him.
* When Adrien gets in the car to leave, he gives [[ClosetGeek The Gorilla]] a Marigold figurine from the pile of Marigold merch his friends won him.
* Gabriel states why he allowed Adrien to go out with his friends:
-->'''Gabriel:''' Bah, who knows what my son would do to retaliate if I denied him. [[FelonyMisdemeanor He might wear]] ''[[FelonyMisdemeanor crocs]]''.
* Gabriel is quietly appalled that ''his own son'' is a Marigold fan. Nathalie points out that it's better that he admire ''her'' rather than the incompetent Scarlet Lady, which he takes offense to.
-->'''Gabriel:''' [[IRejectYourReality Scarlet Lady is NOT incompetent! She's the slipperiest of the whole group!]]\\
'''Nathalie:''' Ah. Of course, sir. ''[thinking] [[FirstPersonSmartass Because if she was an idiot, you'd be the guy]] '''[[FirstPersonSmartass losing]]''' [[FirstPersonSmartass to that idiot.]]''
* Pollen, realizing how much she's being pampered, wonders with a confused expression, "Am ''I'' the Queen?"
* When Rose talks about how she and Juleka got together, it turns out that the latter was ''extremely'' ObliviousToLove, to the point where she wasn't sure if Rose kissing her on the lips was as a friend or not.
* When Luka delivers a pizza to the girls' sleepover, Lila asks about his age compared to Juleka's, but all he'll say is he's older, much to her confuision (and frustation).
* Luka and Marinette start to stare at each other, which prompts his sister to throw a pillow at his face and say it's [[GetOut "time for dumb boys to get out."]]
* Alix reveals that Lila and Sabrina are [[HiddenDepths sportier than they look]], showing off a photo of a wild-eyed Sabrina working off some rage at the skating rink while Lila cheers her on like an ObsessiveSportsFan.
* Lila's response when Alya defends Scarlet Lady's work with expensive brands:
-->'''Alya:''' Well, she has an important job! She deserves royalties, right?\\
'''Lila:''' Ha! Royalties for '''''what''''', sitting on her butt while being a glory hound?
* When Alya tries to defend Scarlet Lady to Lila, she looks to Marinette for support... only for Marinette to bluntly state that Scarlet Lady is the worst, much to Alya's dismay, while Lila sticks her tongue out and Alix laughs. In the next panel, [[FunnyBackgroundEvent Alya is pulling at Marinette's cheeks]].

[[folder:Animan: Tales of Otis the Zookeeper]]
* Just like in "Kung Food," [[HurricaneOfPuns all the chapter titles have puns]], this time animal-themed: "Stay Pawsitive," "You Goat This," "Ready To Flamingle," "So Hippo-critical!," "You Are Unkoalafied!," "Toucan Play At That," "Oh Deer," "Unbearable," "Hogs And Kisses," "Giraffing Me Crazy," "Why You Always Lion," and "That's Just Cheetahing!"
* Adrien asks Nino why he's ogling Marinette so much. Nino says he has a huge crush on her, which causes Adrien to pull a comical IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy, biting down so hard [[BloodFromTheMouth his mouth starts to bleed]]. Nino quickly reassures his best friend that he was just teasing and is actually trying to set Adrien up with Marinette.
* Adrien doesn't think he has enough time or energy to ask Marinette out because of his job (more as Chat Noir than as a model). He lets Nino persuade him to try.
-->'''Adrien:''' ''[with stars in his eyes]'' Can... can I really? Is it possible? Am I allowed?\\
'''Nino:''' Bro, it's just a date.
* The role reversal of Adrien overthinking how he wants to approach the zoo trip with Marinette. It's adorably awkward and [[FridgeBrilliance makes complete sense]] when one remembers [[FriendlessBackground Adrien]]'s [[NoSocialSkills life before now]]. Luckily, [[NiceGuy Nino]]'s [[OnlySaneMan there to keep Adrien grounded]].
* Chloé complains to Tikki about having to go the smelly zoo in disguise to mess up Adrien's date with Marinette:
-->'''Chloé:''' The sacrifices I make for love.\\
'''Tikki:''' You don't have to -\\
'''Chloé:''' '''''[[IRejectYourReality Sacrifices!]]'''''
* In a role reversal, Alya is blushing about going on a real date with Nino, and Marinette is teasing her gleefully. Later, Alya tries to warn Marinette not to do anything weird... with mixed results.
-->'''Marinette:''' Whaaat? We're just having a nice, no-pressure day out with the guys! ''[thinking with a SlasherSmile] And if me and Adrien accidentally leave you two alone halfway through, that's just a '''coincidence'''.''\\
'''Alya:''' You have a terrible poker face.
* Chloé is spying from afar and decides that she needs to get closer. [[DeadpanSnarker Tikki instead suggests she can hide in the bushes... where she can sit in]] ''[[DeadpanSnarker shame]]''.
* Chloé's "brilliant, original" idea for sneaking closer: [[NewspaperThinDisguise hiding behind a large newspaper with eyeholes cut out]] while sitting at a table. Meanwhile, someone (seemingly Master Fu) sitting right next to her [[InstantlyProvenWrong is using the same exact tactic]].
* Otis threatens to have Marinette [[DisproportionateRetribution banned from the zoo]] after [[StatingTheSimpleSolution she suggests he feed his panther at the back of the enclosure, away from the eyes of the public]]. Alya's reply? [[AmazinglyEmbarrassingParents "Dad. No."]]
* [[EvenEvilHasStandards Even Hawkmoth is surprised at the pettiness]] of Animan's reason for revenge:
-->'''Hawkmoth:''' Animan, I'm giving you the power to get revenge.\\
'''Animan:''' Excellent! How dare those kids disrespect my panther, thinking they can outrun her!\\
'''Hawkmoth:''' [[YouHaveGotToBeKiddingMe ...Really?]]
* When Chloé crashes the group, Adrien tries to be as politely blunt as possible about how he knows that she wasn't at the zoo by "coincidence" like she claims. Chloé [[DramaticallyMissingThePoint completely misses]] (or chooses to ignore) this, declaring she found him because of their "deep connection."
* When the animals are let loose by Animan immediately after Chloé interrupts the date, the captions describe her as being "Like a heat seeking missile of awful."
* For once, both Adrien and Marinette are angry at the akuma for personal reasons (ruining their respective plans) while Chloé's happy the akuma has officially ruined the pair's "date."
* While Chat Noir and Scarlet Lady hold off the animals, [[ShipperOnDeck Marigold]] sees an opening and throws Nino and Alya into the panther's empty cage and cheekily tells them to stay safe with a little heart floating above her.
** Alya has a FreakOut because she can't get footage for her ''Ladyblog''.
** When Nino gives Alya his headphones and tells her to breath... Alya replies that she can't hear him.
* Scar, Chat, and Marigold see Animan attempting to eat Kim. The heroes, [[EvenEvilHasStandards including Scar]], are for once united in silent disbelief that the villain is that angry about Kim's boasting.
* After Animan runs to find Kim, Chat Noir tells the others that he's tagged Kim to find him. Marigold rewards him with tickling that makes him purr while Scar makes a disgusted face.
* They find Kim at the Dupain-Cheng bakery, where Marigold almost blows her cover, but the best comes right below:
-->'''Sabine:''' Oh, but you're-!\\
'''Scarlet Lady:''' Ohoho! Yes, it is I, your hero-\\
'''Sabine:''' [[BaitAndSwitch Marigold!]]
'''Chat Noir:''' ''[struggling not to laugh]'' Pft!\\
'''Sabine:''' It's so nice to meet you!\\
'''Marigold:''' A-ah, thanks!
'''Scarlet Lady:''' ''[furious she's being ignored] '''Grr!'''''\\
* When Chat is on top of T-Rex Animan, he yells for someone to get his legs. Scarlet Lady says, "Don't tell me what to do!" and uselessly bounces her yo-yo off the creature. Marigold lassos the legs with her top and then one-shots the dinosaur in the head with Venom.
* As [[TheBadGuyWins Chloé crows to herself about doing a good job of ruining Adrien's date with Marinette]] ([[MeaninglessVillainVictory nevermind it would've been ruined either way by the akuma]]), Tikki decides to [[TheGadfly throw out her hairspray]] the moment she falls asleep.
* When Adrien and Marinette see Alya and Nino holding hands, they simultaneously sparkle while pointing at said hands and saying, "Ooooh!"
-->'''Alya:''' Told you they'd make it weird.
** Then when Adrien asks how it happened, one of them (presumably Alya) relates how Marigold locked them up together--all while [[ShipperOnDeck Marinette]] giggles.
** The ending:
--->'''Nino:''' Turns out we have a lot in common: an interest in video editing...\\
'''Alya:''' Really young siblings...\\
'''Alya and Nino:''' [[WhatTheHellHero Best friends that ditch them.]]\\
'''Adrien & Marinette:''' [[OhCrap Eheheh!]]
* Adrien takes Nino aside.
-->'''Adrien:''' Hey man, congrats!\\
'''Nino:''' Thanks, dude!\\
'''Adrien:''' ''[with a NightmareFace]'' Pretty amazing '''''you''''' got a girlfriend when you're supposed to be wingmanning for '''''me.'''''\\
'''Nino:''' '''''[[OhCrap M-my bad.]]'''''
* Alya has a conversation with Marinette about the latter's actions at the zoo:
-->'''Alya:''' Girl, I told you not to be weird, but you '''''totally''''' tried to dip on purpose.\\
'''Marinette:''' Whaaat? I just wanted to see the elephants!\\
'''Alya:''' [[SpottingTheThread It was giraffes.]]
* Otis is apologetic to Alya for getting akumatized and ruining her day at the zoo, but he finds he is EasilyForgiven. She kisses his cheek and walks off humming because she got a boyfriend out of it.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Puppeteer: Tales of Manon the Doll Master]]
* Marinette is taking care of Manon, and they are playing with the Miraculous dolls the former made. After Manon picks Marigold and Chat Noir as the heroes, Marinette points out that she never picks Scarlet Lady--and Manon shows that [[StylisticSuck the Scarlet Lady doll is little more than a painted paper bag with a ponytail glued to it]].
-->'''Manon:''' But her doll is so lame.\\
'''Marinette:''' ''[thinking with an evil grin] Just like the real thing!''
* Marinette can't explain to Manon why Hawkmoth wants the Miraculous and just says, [[XMustNotWin "Uh, because then the bad guys... would win!"]] Manon doesn't see what is so bad about that and demands the Miraculous so her side can win. Marinette thinks, "You're a little too gung-ho about it!"
* When Nadja returns to get Manon back:
-->'''Nadja:''' Have you been good, Manon?\\
'''Manon:''' Mommy, Marinette didn't let me win!\\
'''Marinette:''' ''[thinking] Snitch!''
* Manon asks if she can keep the Marigold doll (which she accidentally ripped earlier), but Marinette tells her she has to fix the doll. When Manon pulls out the PuppyDogEyes, though, Marinette relents to letting her have the Lady Wifi doll. As Manon leaves, Pollen just looks at Marinette while the latter lets out a DefensiveWhat.
-->'''Caption:''' Now I know your weakness, My Queen.
* When Chloé starts bragging about how hilarious it'll be to see her classmates work at the hotel, Tikki punctures her ego by smugly telling her she has to go buy more Dupain-Cheng cookies.
* The bonus panel where Manon gets akumatized:
-->'''Hawkmoth:''' Puppeteer, I am Hawkmoth.\\
'''Manon:''' Oo, then, you're giving me powers?\\
'''Hawkmoth:''' Why, yes!\\
'''Manon:''' And I just gotta get you the Miraculouses?\\
'''Hawkmoth:''' [[KidHasAPoint Exactly!]] Geez, [[SimpleMindedWisdom why can't all my akumas be this informed]]?
* Adrien's ClarkKenting is [[SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome immediately seen through]] by Marinette and Alya, who innocently make teasing, flirty winks at him ([[ShipTease much to his embarrassment]]). He at first mistook them for [[LoonyFan his more rabid fans]], but Alya insists that they're only his "''best'' fans."
* Puppeteer and Hawkmoth's back and forth pretty much sounds like a little girl and her ImaginaryFriend that she thinks everyone else can hear:
-->'''Puppeteer:''' Mommy took my doll, so it's probably in the studio.\\
'''Hawkmoth:''' Excellent deduction, Puppeteer.\\
'''Puppeteer:''' Shh, M. Hawkmoth, Mommy can't catch us.\\
'''Hawkmoth:''' And why is that?\\
'''Puppeteer:''' [[ComicallyMissingThePoint Cuz Mommy will get mad and I'll get in trouble!]]\\
'''Hawkmoth:''' You know you're an '''''akuma''''', right?
** The author's notes continue it with Manon's obvious retort: "Yeah, and she's still [[AlmightyMom MOM]]! (It's not worth it!)"
* Puppeteer continues her temper tantrum over wanting the dolls through Lady Wifi. Once Marinette figures out it's Manon is the one akumatized, what does she do? [[DontTellMama Threaten to tell Nadja.]] While she does this, [[FailedASpotCheck she fails to notice Adrien sneaking off to turn into Chat Noir]].
* Puppeteer sends Lady Wifi to Marinette's room to get the other dolls, which Chloé and Tikki both witness. Unlike usual, Chloé doesn't need much encouragement to leap into action ([[DramaticallyMissingThePoint she thinks that Lady Wifi is trying to prove Marinette is Scarlet Lady again]], which is one of Chloé's {{Berserk Button}}s)... though she still insists on finding the right spot to transform first.
-->'''Chloé:''' You don't expect me to hide behind trees or go into a dirty subway, do you?!
* Chat Noir follows Puppeteer into Marinette's room. While Pollen encourages Marinette to transform, Marinette freaks out because Chat Noir is going into her room--and the caption implies she's got something similar to her canon collage of Adrien photos there, which is later comfirmed in "Troublemaker."
* Scar enters Marinette's room to fight the Puppeteer-controlled Lady Wifi and then notices the Scarlet Lady "doll":
-->'''Scarlet Lady:''' What is '''''this?!''''' Is this supposed to be '''''me?!'''''\\
'''Chat Noir:''' It's a spitting image.
* Puppeteer's reaction to Scar ripping the Scarlet Lady "doll":
-->'''Puppeteer:''' No faaaair! That's cheating! Gimme your Miraculouses you bunch of super evil goodie two shoeses!
* After Chat Noir recovers his doll, Lady Wifi leaves... and Puppeteer makes her cry and say she'll be telling on the heroes.
* The mentioned names of the dolls are Chaton Noir for Chat Noir, Minigold for Marigold, and Small Lady for Scarlet Lady.
* Since Marigold has to stay out of the fight due to Manon having her doll (requiring her to detransform to avoid getting mind-controlled), Adrien tells her not to worry because he can bring in a substitute. Who does he choose? [[DramaticIrony Marinette]].
** ''How'' he appears is also hilarious. Marinette is wondering whom Chat Noir will pick as substitute. Cue him jumping onto her balcony, scaring the crap out of her.
** In the meantime, Pollen is giving a [[GreenEyedMonster jealous glare]] while hiding in a rose shrub.
* Puppeteer is having much less fun than in canon. When she tries to bring her Marigold doll to life, it just slumps over. She throws her arms around Lady Wifi's waist, crying, "Waaah! It didn't work, meanies, meanies!"
** Likewise, when Marinette shows up as Multimouse along with Scar and Chat Noir. Puppeteer doesn't take this well:
--->'''Puppeteer:''' WHAAA! NO FAIR YOU DON'T '''''HAVE''''' A DOLL! '''''HAWKMOTH!''''' THEY WON'T LET ME WIN!\\
'''Hawkmoth:''' ''[telepathically and awkwardly]'' [[PetTheDog There, there.]]
** All the while, Scar, Multimouse, Rogercop, and Evillustrator just stand there, not really sure how to react to all that.
* There are some WritingAroundTrademarks jokes as Marinette talks about her Mouse hero name. Chat suggests "Minimouse," only for Marinette to reply that she's pretty sure that's trademarked. Later, she calls herself the "Mighty Multimouse," to which Chat Noir remarks, "Pretty sure that's also trademarked."
* Scarlet Lady finally activates her Lucky Charm when Puppeteer calls her and the other heroes "super evil not pretty goodie two shoeses."
-->'''Scarlet Lady:''' I'll show '''''you''''' who's "not pretty," '''''brat'''''!\\
'''Caption:''' Scarlet Lady finally met someone who [[WomanChild matches her in emotional maturity.]]
* Chat Noir is [[AmazonChaser smitten by Marinette]] using Scar's Lucky charm to deflect projectiles heading her way as he's fending off Lady Wifi.
* As the Multimice are grabbing the dolls, the captions reveal that "the controlled akumas are just flopping on the ground."
* Marinette defeats Puppeteer by having one of her smaller clones simply bite the akuma's hand to make Puppeteer let go of her wand.
* Once Puppeteer's defeated, Marinette "accidentally" takes off the Mouse Miraculous and feigns disappointment she can't be a superhero anymore since people know her identity. Mullo smiles cheekily at the whole act while Chat Noir just pouts as tears stream down his face.
* Manon pinkie promises not to tell anyone about Marinette formerly being Multimouse and gets the others to do the same, much to Marinette's embarrassment. Scar, to her annoyance, is also included among the group.
-->'''Caption:''' [[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic You don't say no to a PINKIE PROMISE!]]
* Alya asks Marinette for an interview. Marinette agrees as long as it's solely about Puppeteer and Multimouse showing up, not her ''being'' Multimouse.
* There's lots of Kwami jealousy. Pollen is jealous of Mullo ([[{{Troll}} not helped by the face Mullo makes to Pollen]] after Mullo compliments Marinette on her use of the Kwami's power and Marinette hugging Mullo in response) and tries to give Marinette the cold shoulder when the latter returns. Marinette angers Pollen even more when she teases the Kwami about being jealous, though she's quickly forgiven when she reassures Pollen that she will always be her favorite Kwami. Meanwhile, Tikki sobs when she learns that her chosen has been granted ''[[RuleOfThree three]]'' different Kwamis (Plagg, Pollen, and Mullo) now while she is still stuck with [[AlphaBitch Chloé]]. The author captions it "Kwami Soap Opera."
* Marinette apologizes to Nadja for lending Manon a doll after Nadja said no. Nadja reassures the teen that she'll be immune to Manon's PuppyDogEyes eventually. Marinette is then put to the test the next day when she offers to let Manon help her make a secret custom doll of Multimouse. Manon [[HereWeGoAgain uses her eyes again]] to try to get permission to take the doll to the zoo ([[ComicallyMissingThePoint thus defeating the whole point of it being a secret]]), and Marinette will have to refuse or risk her family's safety. In the tags, the author laments, "#you learned nothing manon!"

[[folder:Pixelator: Tales of Vincent the Super Fan]]
* Adrien learns that Chloé has assigned him to work at the front desk of the hotel with her. He asks Alya to trade jobs with him, and she turns him down with a finger-gun gesture, [[TemptingFate declaring, "Not on your life."]] A few seconds later, she finds out that Chloé assigned her garbage-sorting duty at the dumpster. She asks Adrien for a trade, only for him to turn her down with [[IronicEcho the exact gesture and words she used on him]].
-->'''Tags:''' #the face of instant regret
* Jagged Stone checks in to Chloé's father's hotel--and neither he nor Mayor Bourgeois remembers the other:
-->'''Chloé:''' Daddy, that's Jagged Stone, '''''remember'''''?\\
'''André Bourgeois:''' Honey, I only remember the important people.\\
'''Chloé:''' [[PopCulturalOsmosisFailure He's an internationally beloved rock star!]]\\
'''Jagged Stone:''' Penny, who is this idiot?\\
'''Penny Rolling:''' The '''''mayor?''''' '''''Bob's''''' friend? You judged a '''''cooking show together'''''?\\
'''Jagged Stone:''' Bob's friend? [[RepressedMemories No wonder I erased him from my memory.]]
* Mayor Bourgeois makes a cavalcade of mistakes as he tries to schmooze with Jagged, forcing Adrien to play damage control:
-->'''Jagged Stone:''' I need a room with a '''''real''''' tub for Fang!\\
'''André Bourgeois:''' We have all Mme. Fang needs! Even a top of the line fitness center.\\
'''Adrien:''' M. Bourgeois, Fang is his '''''crocodile.'''''\\
'''Jagged Stone:''' Exactly!\\
'''André Bourgeois:''' Ah, I-I see! M. Stone, could I offer your... er, Fang... a nice bubble bath?\\
'''Adrien:''' [[KidHasAPoint Sir, reptiles absorb water through their skin, you can't use soaps!]]\\
'''Jagged Stone:''' Can this '''''kid''''' check me in instead of you?\\
'''Caption:''' He seems more knowledgeable than you!
* Pixelator proclaims that Jagged Stone will be his and his alone, which creeps out Hawkmoth:
-->'''Hawkmoth:''' Um, sure. ''[aside]'' And people wonder why I kept my son home for so long.\\
'''Tags:''' #maybe instead of judging everyone you should just [=NOT=] akumatize literal criminals.
* Penny requests a special pair of shades for Jagged Stone's concert--and M. Bourgeois [[GotVolunteered volunteers]] Marinette, their "chasseur." Penny {{sweatdrop}}s while wondering if everyone working at the hotel is a teenager as Marinette gives an OhCrapSmile.
* Marinette's description of her work for Jagged, as well as Pollen's response:
-->'''Marinette:''' Time to make some tacky glasses for a tacky man!\\
'''Pollen:''' [[YesMan Yay, tacky!]]\\
'''Caption:''' Tacky isn't an insult here, it's just a fact.
* Chloé reveals that she had her father name Marinette as the hotel's "chasseur" for a reason:
-->'''Adrien:''' Why '''''did''''' you give her that job?\\
'''Chloé:''' To get her out of the hotel, of course! So she can't ruin our alone time.\\
'''Adrien:''' [[FlatWhat Huh?]]\\
'''Chloé:''' ''[attempts to kiss Adrien, who tries to push her away--[[MeaningfulBackgroundEvent while Kim and the doorman get zapped by Pixelator behind them]]]''\\
'''Adrien:''' We're just doing our jobs, Chloé! Or at least I am!\\
'''Caption:''' I feel like you two are missing something ''kinda important in the background there!''
* Chloé is so dumb that she doesn't realize Pixelator is an akuma. When Pixelator zaps her, Adrien attempts to tackle her out of the way, [[NoGoodDeedGoesUnpunished only to get zapped as well]]. They both get stuck in a void... and Adrien mentally begs for Marigold to hurry up and rescue them because Chloé is taking advantage of it to cuddle with him.
** Meanwhile, Marinette has just left Jagged Stone's room, only for Pixelator to show up and zap Penny, leaving Marinette ''and Pollen'' with an epic-level sweating OhCrap face.
* Jagged attempts to set Fang on Pixelator. Fang just rolls over as Jagged just {{sweatdrop}}s.
* Pixelator makes a bad pun as he zaps Fang. Marigold's got something to say about it:
-->'''Pixelator:''' [[IncrediblyLamePun See you later, alligator!]]\\
'''Jagged Stone:''' Fang, no!\\
'''Marigold:''' He's a crocodile, you '''''fake fan!'''''\\
'''Pixelator:''' '''''"Fake?!"'''''
* Marigold gets hit in the hand by Pixelator and begins screaming as she kicks Jagged's luggage at the akuma and swings the rock star outside the window. Jagged makes a lame "Ahhh?" in reply.
-->'''Caption:''' When your panic brain takes over and you do everything in autopilot to get the hell out (crossed out) ''even though you could've grabbed the akuma when you knocked a whole bunch of luggage on top of them.''
* In the first bonus panel, Marigold takes Jagged to the first place she could think: Collège François Dupont.
-->'''M. Damocles:''' Is this really the safest place for M. Stone?\\
'''Jagged Stone:''' ''[muttering]'' Lame.\\
'''Marigold:''' It's the [[FreudianSlip lamest]] place I could think of to hide him.\\
'''M. Damocles:''' ''[CrossPoppingVeins]'' Hmm?\\
'''Marigold:''' [[OhCrap Uh I mean!]] Uhhh, I'm gonna go check this guy's place, stay safe!
* Hawkmoth and Pixelator discuss the need to bring out the heroes (not knowing that the latter's already captured Scarlet Lady and Chat Noir).
-->'''Caption:''' They’re having a contest on ''who can be the most creepy''.
* An imprisoned Chloé tries to make demands of Marigold, who decides to ignore her in favor of asking two of Pixelator's other victims how they were caught (while Adrien is begging to be saved).
-->'''Chloé:''' She '''''ignored''''' me?!
* When Mireille and Théo say they were walking down the Champs-Élyées (sic) and Pixelator took a picture of them, [[SkewedPriorities Marigold asks what they were doing]] [[SkippingSchool "on the Champs-Élyées on a school day."]]
* When Nadja shows up to interview Pixelator, a banner appears on the television reading [[HereWeGoAgain "Yep we're doing this again."]]
* Pixelator challenges Jagged Stone to come out if he doesn't want him to zap all of Paris. Jagged Stone [[HeroicSacrifice declares he must go]]--because [[SkewedPriorities his ratings will be amazing]]. M. Damocles is not impressed.
* Marigold shows up, with people cheering on her... until someone asks where Scarlet Lady is, which prompts everyone to ask for her.
-->'''Marigold:''' ''[angry]'' It's a mystery to me as well.
* When Chat Noir is about to sneak up on Pixelator and destroy his akumatized visor, [[NiceJobBreakingItHero Scarlet Lady]] [[WithCatlikeTread jumps up and shouts "Hurry up and grab the akuma, Alley Cat!"]]
* Jagged Stone shows up to let Pixelator take a photo of him... but wastes time by switching between multiple poses in different places, keeping the akuma distracted while Marigold and Scar save the day.
* Scarlet Lady demonstrates AccidentalAimingSkills when she throws the Lucky Charm compact at Pixelator at just at the right moment to reflect his capturing camera beam back at him. (To be fair, it was probably only the luck of the Lucky Charm that made the throw work even for Ladybug in canon.)
-->'''Marigold:''' Hey, I think your aim is getting better!\\
'''Scarlet Lady:''' I was aiming for his '''''head'''''.
* Penny begins to give tickets for the Jagged Stone concert to the teens that did the best during the internship, and Chloé is seen keeping her hand extended, clearly expecting one... only for Penny to explicitly skip Chloé and give the last ticket to Adrien. Chloé's irritated face is ''hilarious''.
* Adrien feels bad because he missed half the day due to Pixelator and tries to give it to someone else, but the rest of the class either already has plans or already bought their own tickets. Chloé tries to ask for it, but Adrien just shuts her up by covering her face with his hand.
* During the concert, we're given a reminder of Adrien and Luka's rivalry:
-->'''Marinette:''' Isn't this amazing, guys?!\\
'''Adrien and Luka:''' ''[blushing as they look at Marinette]'' [[SpeakInUnison Yeah... amazing.]]\\
'''Adrien:''' ''[jealously glares at Luka]''\\
'''Luka:''' ''[gives a slightly strained grin to Adrien]''
* Jagged thanks Marigold for saving him. Alya then glances at Marinette and questions why she's blushing.
-->'''Caption:''' I'm just happy she's getting recognition? Heheh?

[[folder:Guitar Villain: Tales of Jagged Stone the Rock Star]]
* Bob Roth tells Jagged Stone (who is still wearing the Eiffel Tower glasses Marinette made) that he wants him to have a duet with XY. Bob's response when Penny points out that Jagged's style is wildly different from XY's?
-->'''Bob Roth:''' Oh, it'll be fine after you ''[[DramaticallyMissingThePoint modernize your music, find a new style and change everything about yourself]]''.\\
'''Jagged Stone:''' '''''[[SymbolSwearing F@$#]] off.'''''
* When Penny states that she and Jagged want to commission Marinette to make Jagged's cover art, Bob Roth is aghast. A growl from Fang makes him change his opinion.
* After learning that [[AbhorrentAdmirer Chloé]] wants to invite him to something, Adrien actually ''asks'' to practice his Chinese instead. Unfortunately, Gabriel already accepted for him.
-->'''Adrien:''' ''[thinking] Dammit père.''
* After Bob Roth commissions Marinette to make an incredibly drab cover design, she laments that this isn't her or Jagged's style at all. She mentions to Pollen that sometimes her parents make a sample of a bad request to show the customer why it's bad, but this doesn't always work.
-->'''Marinette:''' Sometimes it makes them like it ''[[SpringtimeForHitler more!]]''
* When Luka delivers Chloé's pizza, he avoids having to greet her face to face by handing it off to the front desk instead. He then runs into Marinette, learns she's going to meet with Jagged Stone, and offers her a ride home afterwards. The moment she turns to leave, he scrambles to take off his pizza delivery shirt, thinking, "Gotta get out of this lame uniform, quick!" A bonus panel shows Marinette [[EatingTheEyeCandy sneaking a peek at him while he's changing]], with the caption reading, "''I don't have a caption for this because Photoshop crashed like FIFTEEN TIMES when I tried to draw it!''"
* Luka is waiting for Marinette to return... only for the elevator ping to reveal Chloé, who promptly sticks like a limpet to him while calling him "mon Chouka," much to his disgust. He then puts on an OhCrap face when he realizes [[AbhorrentAdmirer she]] has a crush on him just as Adrien appears and she calls him "Adrichou."
* XY's interview in which he insults Jagged turns out to be right outside the hotel, leading to Jagged throwing his tablet at the younger singer's head.
* When Marinette arrives in the hotel lobby, Adrien greets her with a smile while Luka [[QuietCryForHelp begs her to save him from Chloé]].
* As XY is being beaned in the head with a tablet, one of the men standing behind the singer nervously stare to the right and notices the butterfly.
* Seeing Guitar Villain, Marinette exclaims how he seemed fine just a minute ago.
* [[BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor Chloé screams for Luka and Adrien to get her out of the room]] where Guitar Villain is when the akuma starts attacking; they comply by [[ExactWords shoving her into the elevator]] while sporting matching nonchalant expressions.
* Marinette sends Adrien away to flag down Chat Noir and tells Luka she'll find Marigold so she can run off and transform. Unfortunately for her, Luka decides to help her by giving her a ride on his bike.
-->'''Luka:''' C'mon, we'll cover more ground on my bike!\\
'''Marinette:''' ''[thinking] Wait, '''[[DidntSeeThatComing that's not part of the plan!]]'''''
* Chat Noir tells both Luka and Marinette to get to safety, [[FailedASpotCheck not noticing]] Marinette's OverlyNervousFlopSweat. He then does some ObliviousGuiltSlinging when he notes that Marigold isn't picking up.
* Scarlet Lady saves Théo, and he thanks ''Chat Noir'' for it.
-->'''Caption:''' The one time Scarlet did something and [[DudeWheresMyRespect she didn't even get credit]] lol.
* Marinette rushes to transform as soon as Luka is gone.
-->'''Marinette:''' Pollen, omigod, Buzz On!\\
'''Pollen:''' Buzz On, yay!
* XY has trouble remembering whom Scarlet Lady is and refers to her as "the bug lady."
* Scarlet Lady is an XY fan and offers to take him to a "safe place," but she's useless when Guitar Villain carries him off.
-->'''Scarlet Lady:''' H-hurry up, sidekicks! XY is going to fall!\\
'''Chat Noir:''' D-did you forget the dragon guarding the tower?\\
'''Scarlet Lady:''' So deal with him too!\\
'''Chat Noir:''' And what does that leave for '''''you?'''''\\
'''Caption:''' ''[answering for Scar]'' "It leaves me to suck up to XY, ''obviously''."
* When Marigold arrives on Dragon!Fang, Chat Noir joins her near the head... while leaving Scar to hang onto the tail.
* Marigold gives XY a rough rescue by lassoing him with her top string, bouncing him on his bottom, and breaking the guitar on the gangplank as she pulls him to safety. The author notes, "XY's got a steel butt I guess."
* Scar tries to comfort XY, but he finds her to be an AbhorrentAdmirer.
-->'''Scarlet Lady:''' Oh, my poor XY! I'm so sorry for how my lackies treated you! I'll make it up to you, I promise!\\
'''XY:''' ''[looking between her and Jagged Stone]'' Huh? This dude's crazy! '''''You're''''' crazy! [[ScrewThisImOuttaHere I'm going home!]]\\
'''Scarlet Lady:''' Oh! [[ComicallyMissingThePoint I can take you down!]]\\
'''XY:''' I'm taking the elevator you freak!
* While Marigold freaks out about all the stuff she still has to do and having to figure out an excuse for Luka if he asks what she was doing, Chat asks the deakumatized Jagged for an autograph, which the rocker obliges.
* After Jagged gets Bob to reluctantly approve of Marinette's design by threatening to quit, [[CouldHaveAvoidedThisPlot she wonders why the rockstar didn't just do that in the first place]].
* When Chloé tries to {{Glomp}} Luka while complaining about her day, Luka just keeps her away with a hand to her face while snarking with Juleka.
-->'''Juleka:''' [[EmbarrassingNickname "Mon Chouka?"]]\\
'''Luka:''' Don't you f**king dare.

[[folder:Princess Fragrance: Tales of Rose the Princess]]
* The [[DepartmentOfRedundancyDepartment repetitiveness]] of the [[ShapedLikeItself title and subtitle together]] is quite amusing.
* The news report at the beginning is about how Scarlet Lady, Chat Noir, and Marigold defeated [[AuthorAvatar Zoe Rapporte as the Enchanted Florist]], who has apparently been akumatized enough times for it to be referred to as her "Nth" time.
** The news captions also say, "Top 10 therapists in Paris," and "Seriously there's other florists."
** Zoe angrily interrupts the broadcast:
--->'''Zoe:''' ''[FlippingTheBird]'' Well '''''maybe''''' if people were a little less [[CurseCutShort shi-]]\\
'''Offscreen voice:''' '''''Cut!'''''
* Marinette offers [[BlatantLies a preposterous excuse]] for being late to class. [[{{Hypocrite}} Chloé mocks her for it]], but the teacher isn't letting her false excuse pass either. (Both were actually fighting an akuma.)
-->'''Marinette:''' [[INeedToGoIronMyDog I, uh, had to bring my... dog! To the vet! He... ate all of my socks!]]\\
'''Chloé:''' Maybe if you were early, you could fully bake your excuses, Clumsinette! And you wouldn't look like a drowned rat!\\
'''Ms. Mendeleiev:''' You were '''''also late!'''''
* Chloé tries to mock Rose by saying her perfume smells like a dead fish. Sabrina "kindly" reminds her that she has the same perfume.
* Rose catches Chloé apparently talking to her bag (actually to Tikki). When Chloé declares she wasn't talking to Rose, the latter asks if she was talking to her bag because she has no friends.
* Marinette sees Tikki with Chloé... and [[EntertaininglyWrong assumes the latter stole Scarlet Lady's Kwami]]. Pollen is noticeably disappointed that her holder failed to connect the dots and figure out Scarlet Lady's secret identity.
-->'''Marinette:''' Pollen, Chloé has Scarlet Lady's Kwami!\\
'''Pollen:''' ''[excited]'' [[HopeSpot Oh my!]]\\
'''Marinette:''' She probably stole her! Cuz she's a thief and Scarlet is careless!\\
'''Pollen:''' ''[with SweatDrop]'' [[IronicEcho Oh my.]]\\
'''Narration:''' '''''Oof so close.'''''\\
'''Caption:''' Missing that last brain cell.\\
'''Tags:''' [[RightForTheWrongReasons #she definitely stole *something* marinette!]]
** There's some irony in the fact that Pollen knows Chloé is Scarlet Lady but doesn't tell Marinette the truth because Tikki told her not to reveal the identities of the Miraculous users. [[BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor Tikki might be regretting that now...]]
** Pollen can also be seen combing Marinette's pigtails the entire time.
* In the bonus panel, as Rose is akumatized, Hawkmoth offers to make her perfume so powerful, she could probably TakeOverTheWorld with it if she wanted to. Rose, [[NiceGuy being Rose]], [[PragmaticVillainy is a little bit more practical than that]].
-->'''Rose:''' I mostly just want my prince, to be honest. [[NotSoAboveItAll ... But we can torment Chloé a little.]]\\
'''Caption:''' You know, as a treat ♥
* Princess Fragrance uses her perfume to make the doorman let her in. After she enters, proudly declaring to Prince Ali that she's coming for him, she turns her attention back to the doorman to ask for directions to Prince Ali.
* Chloé offers a Scarlet Lady figure (which she picked from her shelf), Adrien brings some Chat Noir plushies, and Kagami says her family brought a truckload of Marigold merch. Prince Ali doesn't know who "these characters" are.
* When Princess Fragrance makes Chloé stink, Pollen giggles and Marinette says, "This might be my favorite akuma."
* Everyone assumes Adrien fell victim to the mind-control perfume when he disappears. Meanwhile, Chat Noir comes out from his hiding place where he transformed to find that everyone has left, wondering, "Where is everyone?"
* Because Marinette invoked "Buzz On" while wearing a motorcycle helmet, Marigold ends up wearing one. It appears to have bee-themed colors matching her costume.
* When Prince Ali first sees Marigold, he's surprised that she's real.
* Chloé gets excluded from the escape car.
-->'''Kagami:''' She's not after '''''you''''' and you'll stink up the car.\\
'''Chloé:''' ''[accidentally flinging Tikki into the car]'' Let me in! Who do you think you are?!\\
'''Kagami:''' Go hide in a bush.\\
'''Chat Noir:''' Chloé. Wait for Marigold, or your '''''BFF''''', Scarlet Lady.\\
'''Chloé and Princess Fragrance:''' ''[[[SpeakInUnison in unison]]]'' How dare yoooou!
* After Master Fu heals Tikki, Pollen insists that she get a goodbye hug from Marinette before leaving. Tikki cries tears of joy as she embraces her should-have-been holder... and then sees Pollen with a DeathGlare, telling Tikki that she's the only one with whom Pollen will share Marinette, who is off limits to the other Kwamis, especially Mullo. Marinette, meanwhile, is completely oblivious to all this happening right over her shoulder.
* When Marigold confronts Princess Fragrance, she points out (or at least attempts to point out) a minor flaw in the akuma's plan:
-->'''Marigold:''' Rose, did you forget you have a girlfriend?!\\
'''Princess Fragrance:''' I have '''''two''''' hands, busy body!
** And, indeed, at the end of the episode, Rose has Ali in one hand and Juleka in the other.
* When Princess Fragrance sends her servants after Marigold, the latter snarks she's more afraid of Kagami than Chat Noir.
* Hawkmoth is worried when Princess Fragrance says she'll enchant all of Paris.
-->'''Hawkmoth:''' [[OhCrap Wait, not me though, right?]]\\
'''Princess Fragrance:''' '''''All of Paris!'''''
* After returning Rose to normal, Scarlet Lady starts to brag and introduce herself, but Marigold sees that she's about to transform back and takes none of the Ladybug heroine's usual crap, interrupting her by pulling her by the ear and dragging her away, to both Rose and Ali's confusement.
-->'''Prince Ali:''' ''[{{sweatdrop}}ping]'' Are your heroes usually this... eccentric?\\
'''Rose:''' ''[also {{sweatdrop}}ping]'' Um...
* Chloé tells Prince Ali that Rose has a girlfriend, hoping it'll make him ditch her. [[InsultBackfire Instead, Prince Ali says he'd love to meet Rose's girlfriend,]] and Rose replies that her girlfriend would love to meet him.

!!Season 4
[[folder:Despair Bear: Tales of Jean-___ the Butler]]
* Because Jean's full name isn't known, the title card gets around this by having him hold up Chloé's teddy bear right in front of the unknown section.
* Master Fu feels a mental jab when Marinette points out Scarlet Lady "never should've been allowed to keep the earrings in the first place."
* During Tom's baking lesson, Chloé whines about not wanting to get her new pants dirty, only to be told to shut up. When she demands that everyone listens to her complain, Sabrina tells her point-blank no one cares.
* When Adrien confronts Chloé about her actions, she completely fails to read his mood:
-->'''Adrien:''' Chloé, did you '''''really''''' just call the fire department just to get out of M. Dupain's baking class?\\
'''Chloé:''' ''[surrounded by LoveBubbles and making a kissy face]'' Sure did!
* Chloé's ComicalOverreaction to Adrien ending their friendship, [[OcularGushers with tears streaming from her eyes like a waterfall]].
* When Chloé sends her party invitation to everyone in hopes of getting Adrien to repair their friendship, Lila plans to eat her food, trash her hotel, and [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking leave her with the bill]].
-->'''Marinette:''' Uhh, remind me not to invite you to any house parties.
* When Adrien and Nino tell Gabriel that they are getting ready for Chloé's party, both are surprised that he's okay with it. While Adrien just thinks his father would've made him go either way because it's Chloé, Gabriel has other motives.
-->'''Gabriel:''' A party organized by the most despicable girl in Paris is a breeding ground for akumas! [[EvilLaugh Bwahaha!]]
* When Nino sees Alya in her beautiful new dress, he falls to the ground, convulsing, and writes, "dead by beautiful girlfriend" on the floor with his finger. Alya, [[BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor who had just snarked about Nino not complimenting her dress as Adrien had with Marinette]], can only groan in mortification. (It seems likely he's kidding around to compliment her, but it's way over the top.)
* In order to show Adrien how nice she is, Chloé reluctantly agrees to kiss her other guests on the cheek. As she struggles to kiss Marinette, the latter wonders why she's being punished.
* Jean using Mr. Cuddly to manipulate Chloé into acting decently is worth a chuckle or two.
* Mylène goes through an emotional rollercoaster because of Chloé:
-->'''Mylène:''' Chloé told me my dress belongs in the trash.\\
'''Ivan[=/=]Luka:''' Ugh. Typical.\\
'''Mylène:''' Then she said she was kidding and '''''loved''''' my style.\\
'''Ivan[=/=]Luka:''' Uhh-- [[FlatWhat what?]]\\
'''Mylène:''' '''''Then''''' she dumped a bucket of '''''ice''''' on my drink and I just ''really don't know how to feel right now.''\\
'''Ivan[=/=]Luka:''' '''''?!?'''''
* Kagami arrives wearing a very nice dress. Aurore blushes and has a JawDrop at seeing her. Mireille then bemusedly closes her mouth while telling her friend not to let Kagami catch her drooling.
* When a slow song comes on, Chloé attempts to find a dance partner. Needless to say, it does not go well.
** First, she tries Luka, who just gives her a BluntNo.
** Next, she offers to dance with Kim, who is already dancing with Ondine.
** She demands Nathaniel dance with her, not only [[JumpScare jump scaring him]], but also driving him to grab the first person he can (Marc) just so he doesn't have to dance with her.
** She wants to dance with Adrien, but he has just begun to dance with Marinette. This hits her BerserkButton, making her scream, "What's the point of being '''''nice''''' if he dances with '''''Dupain-Cheng?!'''''" Butler Jean tries to calm her, but she just yells at him to get out of her way.
* The author notes that Adrien is so distracted by his irritation with Chloé that he doesn't even notice Marinette acting besotted.
* When Despair Bear takes over Sabrina, she makes an OutOfCharacter [[WeUsedToBeFriends offer]] to brush Chloé's hair, saying "I promise it won't hurt." Chloé reacts with "Get off me, psycho!"
* Both Adrien and Marinette mentally nickname the akuma as "Creeper Bear." They also make [[INeedToGoIronMyDog lame excuses]] to break off their dance so they can go and transform.
* Marigold [[SpectacularSpinning spins Chloé]] to get her out of the room and away from Despair Bear's attacks from his MindControl victims, even though [[SkewedPriorities Chloé complains it will mess up her hair]]. (It's [[LaserGuidedKarma similar to the move Scar did to Lila]] when she threw her into the fountain.)
* After three seasons, what's the thing that finally [[BrokenPedestal starts cracking]] Scarlet Lady's [[VillainWithGoodPublicity positive reputation]]? Publicly claiming that '''[[HatedByAll Chloé]]''' is her best friend. Everyone is disturbed by this news, especially Aurore, who's so disgusted she looks like she's about to puke.
* As Despair Bear jumps between people to attack the heroes, Scarlet Lady keeps ordering her "sidekicks" to protect her... until she falls prey to the akuma.
-->'''Scarlet Lady:''' Stop him, sidekicks!\\
'''Chat Noir[=/=]Marigold:''' Ugh.\\
'''Scarlet Lady:''' Protect me, sidekicks!\\
'''Chat Noir[=/=]Marigold:''' Shut '''''up,''''' Scar!\\
'''Possessed!Scarlet Lady:''' Give me your Miraculouses, sidekicks!\\
'''Chat Noir[=/=]Marigold:''' '''''[[YouHaveGotToBeKiddingMe Seriously?!]]'''''
* Despair Bear ends up defeated pretty easily... because Chat Noir and Marigold are used to having to work around Scarlet Lady anyway. Having her actively working against them isn't that much worse than what she usually does.
* How Despair Bear is defeated: Marigold takes the Lucky Charm (a fork) to snag Despair Bear by a thread and then hooks it to a sunshade, allowing Chat Noir to unravel Mr. Cuddly, leaving only the doll-sized akuma.
** At the end of it, Scarlet Lady wonders how they got to the pool while Chat Noir holds a tiny akumatized Jean.
* Scar tries some BlatantLies to claim credit for stopping the akuma but promptly gets shot down.
-->'''Jean:''' Begging your pardon, but, what happened?\\
'''Scarlet Lady:''' You became bad but I saved you--\\
'''Marigold:''' That's enough of your '''''lies'''''. Your '''''timer'''''.
* When Jean recovers and states he just wanted to help Chloé salvage her friendship with Adrien, only to get fired, Chat Noir replies [[FiveSecondForeshadowing that she'll forget she fired him by the next day]]. Then...
-->'''Chloé:''' '''''Jean-Baptiste!''''' Get down here and save my party!\\
'''Jean:''' Oh!\\
'''Chat Noir:''' Or she'll forget right now.\\
'''Tags:''' #putting Chloé on Audrey's level where I think she's only serious of about 25% of the people she fires
* As Adrien notices that everyone's still at the party, Chloé comes and asks if he wants to forgive her for everything.
-->'''Adrien:''' [[BluntNo No?]]\\
'''Chloé:''' [[BigWhat WHAT?!]]
** Adrien also gives his response [[TranquilFury with a completely flippant expression, though the preceding panel makes it clear he's serious]].
* Pretty much everyone has hilarious shocked looks on their faces when Chloé cancels her party and presumably kicks them all out after Adrien refused to forgive her.
* [[IRejectYourReality Chloé decides that Adrien was just being dramatic with the whole thing of not being her friend.]]
-->'''Jean:''' ''[thinking]'' ''Yes... '''he's''' the dramatic one.''
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Sapotis: Tales of the Césaire Twins]]
* Nino explains how Alya's been down ever since she realized Scarlet Lady's true nature, and Adrien and Marinette wonder why they didn't notice that. Arrows labeled, "Numb to Scarlet Lady's meltdowns," are shown pointing at both of them.
* Alya is so unwilling to accept what she learned about Scarlet Lady during Chloé's party that she clings to the fact Scarlet Lady is a LegacyCharacter as a reason to believe the Scarlet Lady at the party was someone else. As the author says, "Alya, denial is not just a river in Egypt."
* As Hawkmoth prepares to akumatize the twins, he shows a tad of HypocriticalHumor:
-->'''[[AbusiveParents Hawkmoth]]:''' Ahh, the life of young children is no fun at all. They should be able to do whatever they want, whenever they want.\\
'''[[LonelyRichKid Adrien]]:''' [[SneezeCut Ha-]]'''''[[SneezeCut choo!]]'''''\\
'''Caption:''' "Someone must be talking a lot of bullshit somewhere."\\
'''Tags:''' #Really wish Nathalie was recording all of Hawkmoth's little speeches to play back at him so he can hear what a {{hypocrite}} he is
* Tikki is swimming in the hotel spa pool, a cute little hat on her head and a grouchy look on her face.
* Chloé has no intention of fighting the Sapotis at first. She is taking a well-deserved (in her mind) spa treatment when the Sapotis make it personal by throwing mud[[labelnote:*]] well, one ''hopes'' that's mud! [[/labelnote]] in her face.
* After the first Lucky Charm, Marigold takes Scarlet Lady to a back alley so she can recharge.
-->'''Chloé:''' I can't believe you took me to such a discusting place to recharge! You're heartless!\\
'''Marigold:''' '''HURRY UP IF YOU DON'T LIKE IT!'''
** The author admits that, for once, they weren't picking on Chloé - they just forgot that Chloé would need to recharge and had to pick a feasible place.
* Adrien goes to Master Fu for another Miraculous to help with the Sapotis. When Adrien says he has a person in mind for it, Master Fu asks, "It's not Marinette again, is it?" Adrien denies it, but a narration box says, "Totally was."
* Scarlet Lady [[HelpMistakenForAttack mistakes the new Fox hero for an akuma similar to Volpina]]. Marigold holds her back, pointing out that the Sapotis have already used up the akuma.
* Alya furiously declares to her siblings that just because they are akumas, doesn't mean she won't discipline them in the future.
* When Scarlet Lady tries to assert her (meaningless) authority, Fox Trot (Nino's Fox Identity) immediately sasses Scar, telling her that he'll only follow the orders of Paris's ''true heroes'', the far more competent Chat Noir and Marigold, enraging Scar.
** The sass prompts Marigold to snark to Chat he's good at picking temps.
* Marigold somehow immediately writes down a list of ''everything'' they need to defeat the Sapotis with Scarlet Lady's unicycle Lucky Charm. One wonders where she even got her writing utensil from.
* After the battle, when Marigold offers to escort the Césaires home, Scarlet Lady promptly begins to make up an excuse as to why she can't join them, only for Marigold to snark that she didn't expect her to do anything anyways.
* Alya's FreakOut when she sees Fox Trot for the first time.
* Fox Trot spends so long comforting Alya about her [[BrokenPedestal broken illusions]] about Scarlet Lady that he has to hide in Alya's room to time out. Chat Noir then has to sneak him out over the balcony.
* As in canon, the Fox holder is tempted to keep Trixx:
-->'''Nino:''' ''[starry-eyed]'' [[MundaneUtility Can I keep the Fox to make movies?!]]\\
'''Chat Noir:''' Negative.
** Trixx is also starry-eyed and begging. Seems like they hit it off really well.
* Marinette rushes in and {{Glomp}}s Alya, glad that she's safe. Then Nino rushes in and glomps them both. Finally, Adrien does the same, causing the group to lose their balance and leaving Alya at the bottom of the dogpile.
* Adrien smiles knowingly at Nino as Chris gushes about Fox Trot while reassuring his older brother that he's still the coolest, causing Nino to blush.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Anansi: Tales of Nora the Martial Artist]]
* Adrien manages to go out with his friends, even though his father objected at first.
-->'''Gabriel:''' Adrien, I forbid you from going out tonight. It's too dangerous.\\
'''Adrien:''' Ah, père, I '''''thought''''' you might say that. Sidebar, have you seen [[RunningGag my collection of hair dye]]? I forget, what's '''''your''''' favorite color, père? I'm partial to '''''pink'''''.\\
'''Gabriel:''' [[OhCrap Mon dieu.]]
* Alya's older sister Nora, a kickboxer, catches some snark because she calls herself "Anansi" despite being [[LightningBruiser "like a tank in the ring"]] instead of being tricky like her namesake.
* Hawkmoth knows that if he sends the akuma to someone who has a partial grudge against his own son, he would be directly contributing to putting Adrien in danger. On the other hand, the earrings and ring would look sick on him, which is enough reason for him to send the akuma.
-->'''Caption:''' Excellent set of priorities, Gabby.
* Chloé complains about missing out on going to New York because of her hero duties. Tikki tries to convince Chloé she could take her time off and leave her Miraculous with Marigold and Chat Noir. But Chloé refuses, thinking they wouldn't be anything without her. You can practically feel Tikki figuratively snapping her fingers at Chloé not taking the bait.
-->'''Tikki:''' ''[thinking]'' Worth a shot.
* When Nora is akumatized into Anansi and attacks the Ferris wheel, Alya, who's on said wheel with Marinette, Adrien, and Nino, [[HypocriticalHumor yells at her for being a hypocrite after trying to prevent her from going because of akuma threats]].
-->'''Alya:''' ''[enraged]'' AFTER ALL THAT GRIEF, YOU BECAME AN AKUMA, YOU STUPID--!\\
'''Marinette:''' Alya, don't attract her over here!
** Even the caption agrees: "AFTER ALL THAT TALK NORA!"
* Adrien and Marinette screaming at Alya to run so that they can run off to transform.
* In order to get away from Adrien, Marinette brings up the promise she made to Chat Noir about not fighting in akuma battles anymore, which Adrien (being Chat Noir) buys completely.
-->'''Caption:''' Man, making that promise to Chat Noir has been the best Get-Out-of-Akumas-Free card ever.
* A fearsome but FunnyBackgroundEvent shows Sabrina, Lila, and the latter's mother on the Ferris wheel that Anansi flings at Chloé's hotel suite. They are all terrified, with Lila and her mother clinging tightly to each other.
* Nino's first line when the heroes and Alya catch up with Anansi? A very casual "Hey, babe." Keep in mind, he is several stories off the ground.
* Scarlet Lady gets one look at the "Spider Lady" akuma before desperately calling for her Lucky Charm and dumping it off on Marigold with the [[INeedToIronMyDog excuse of needing to recharge]]. Marigold is suspicious and asks, "And then you'll come back, ''right''?"
* Marigold brings Alya the Turtle Miraculous and offers it to her. Alya's so excited that she grabs Marigold's shoulders and begins shaking her before the heroine can even finish her explanation.
* The new Turtle holder, Alya, takes a moment to feel her new fluffy hair.
* Marigold locates where Scar is hiding by calling her on her top-phone and listening for her yo-yo-phone to ring.
* You know that old saying "Never meet your heroes"?
-->'''Scarlet Lady:''' So what dumb little name have you cooked up for yourself?\\
'''Alya:''' ... Koki Marina.\\
'''Scarlet Lady:''' ''[stroking her chin]'' Hm, there's gotta be some way to make an insult out of it. Give me time.\\
'''Alya:''' ''[seething and thinking]'' I'm going to write '''''such''''' an article about you!
* While Marigold and Koki Marina argue with Scarlet Lady, Chat Noir and Nino (both still trapped in Anansi's web) just engage in CasualDangerDialogue.
-->'''Chat Noir:''' Sup dude.\\
'''Nino:''' Hey, howzit going.\\
'''Chat Noir:''' Oh, you know, just [[IncrediblyLamePun hanging around]].\\
'''Nino:''' [[ActuallyPrettyFunny LOL!]] Hey, how come you don't Cataclysm the web?\\
'''Chat Noir:''' [[DidntThinkThisThrough The web currently attached to our entire backs?]]\\
'''Nino:''' Ah.\\
'''Caption:''' [[SimpleSolutionWontWork So unless you want a wicked "sunburn" on your back... ]]
* Marigold starts challenging Anansi, only to verbally backspace when she sees Koki Marina regarding her with starry eyes.
-->'''Marigold:''' I mean, uh, Koki Marina challenges you.\\
'''Koki Marina:''' ''[gleefully]'' Eeee!
* After Koki Marina defeats Anansi, there's a FunnyBackgroundEvent of Marigold doing a FastballSpecial with Chat Noir.
-->'''Chat Noir:''' Ultimate Chat Noir technique! Aim for the helmet!
* In canon, Alya was tempted to keep Trixx after her first mission as a temp hero. Here, she is tempted to keep Wayzz, but she resists because "... I don't want to be as untrustworthy as ''Scarlet Lady''." Still, she and Wayzz hit it off so quickly that Marigold has to tell them to stop bonding.
* When Nino "reveals" to Alya how he got footage of Koki Marina, she proceeds to snog the daylights out of her boyfriend... even though, as Nino points out, ''Nora'' is right there in front of them.

[[folder:Troublemaker: Tales of Penny the Manager]]
* While gushing about how great working for Jagged Stone is, Penny accidentally [[SayingTooMuch lets slip]] that he always pays his child support on time.
-->'''Marinette:''' Wait, Jagged has kids--?\\
'''Penny:''' ''[holds up a form without otherwise changing her position or dropping her smile]'' You didn't hear that. Also please sign this NDA.
* As Adrien tunes his TV to the program...
-->'''Adrien:''' ''[seeing Marinette all dressed up]'' [[{{Squee}} Omigod, her widdle uniform!]]
* Chloé also tunes in, but she isn't impressed.
-->'''Chloé:''' Ugh, I only wanted to watch this dumb show to see Dupain-Cheng mess up, not to hear her praises!\\
'''Tikki:''' But Chloé, [[ContinuityNod don't you remember]]?\\
'''Chloé:''' What?\\
'''[[TheGadfly Tikki]]:''' [[NiceJobFixingItVillain It's thanks to]] '''''[[NiceJobFixingItVillain you]]''''' that Jagged Stone even '''''met''''' Marinette!\\
'''Chloé:''' [[BigNo Nooooo!]] Don't remind me!
* When Marinette's bedroom is broadcast, the comic cuts to various reaction shots--Adrien has [[WingdingEyes heart eyes]], Marinette is panicking, and Hawkmoth yells a loud [[SayingSoundEffectsOutLoud "Gasp!"]]... before wondering, with a completely flat expression, "Wait, why am I gasping, I already knew that."
* Chloé thoroughly enjoys watching Marinette being embarrassed live on TV. She even [[PassThePopcorn eats popcorn]].
* Marinette freaks out because now all of Paris has seen her bedroom--particularly her Chat Noir photos. She's got nothing to worry about, though.
-->'''Marinette:''' If Chat Noir sees, he'll know I'm in love with him!\\
'''Pollen:''' You think so?\\
''[DescriptionCut]''\\
'''Adrien:''' ''[surrounded by sparks and hearts]'' Should I go see her?! No, no, it's too soon. I should order roses! Should I get red this time?!\\
'''Plagg:''' Ugh.
* Hawkmoth was considering akumatizing Marinette, but when Penny gets frustrated and reaches her RageBreakingPoint, he sighs in relief that he now has alternative since [[BerserkButton he knows how angry Chat Noir would get]] if he chose the former.
* When Penny is akumatized into Troublemaker, Marinette and Adrien quickly jump into action... while Tikki is pretty much pushing Chloé to transform and go help.
* Marigold's meltdown when Chat Noir reveals he saw the show.
* The bonus strip showing [[SarcasmMode "Scarlet clearly taking this very seriously by rushing over"]]:
-->'''Scarlet Lady:''' ''[[[SkewedPriorities looking at several dresses through a window]]]'' Ooo, that'd look great on me!\\
'''Caption:''' Definitely rushing. ''[{{sweatdrop}}s]''
* Even with the fight going on, [[SkewedPriorities Chat Noir can't help but gush about Marinette having so many photos of him]]. He even asks Marigold what she thinks it all means with a blush on his face and sparkles surrounding him.
* When Chat Noir points out that Marigold's Miraculous is very easy to remove, he jokingly says she should glue it down... [[EurekaMoment which gives Marigold the idea to do just that]] in order to get close enough to Troublemaker to use Venom.
** [[DidntThinkThisThrough Unfortunately]], this results in Troublemaker's hand being stuck to Marigold's head until Scarlet Lady presumably uses Lucky Charm to do the WorldHealingWave.
* After subduing Troublemaker, Marigold and Chat Noir wonder why Scarlet Lady isn't showing up. Chat Noir phones her only to hear her phone outside on the roof of the building. It turns out that she was lazing on the balcony the whole time. Understandably, Chat is furious.
-->'''Chat Noir:''' ''[fuming as he pops out of a window next to her]'' '''''HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN HERE?!'''''\\
'''Scarlet Lady:''' ''[jumping out of the lawn chair she was sitting in]'' WAH--!
* Scarlet Lady gives Penny [[RichInDollarsPoorInSense the self-care advice of buying herself a diamond phone case]]. Marigold's expression to that is utterly priceless.
* Marigold panics when Chat Noir mentions Marinette, suddenly reminded that all of Paris saw her collage of Chat Noir photos.
* Penny and Jagged hug after she is deakumatized. He then comments on her ExpositoryHairstyleChange as Troublemaker.
-->'''Jagged Stone:''' Also, the mohawk was hawt.\\
'''Penny Rolling:''' I am not shaving my head for you.\\
'''Jagged Stone:''' Damn.
* Marinette tries to no be seen by anyone at the school the day after, but Adrien finds her instantly. She warns him not to say anything, but Adrien just can't help himself.
-->'''Adrien:''' So...\\
'''Marinette:''' Don't.\\
'''Adrien:''' Um--\\
'''Marinette:''' Do '''not.'''\\
'''Adrien:''' ... about the photos.\\
'''Marinette:''' '''''Ahhh!''''' You said it!
** Then Marinette states [[BlatantLies she's not in love with Chat Noir]] and that being with a superhero would be dangerous while there are supervillains around. She then tries to claim [[SheIsNotMyGirlfriend Chat Noir is just a friend]], but she chokes up on it and starts coughing blood.
--->'''Adrien:''' ''[thinking] '''I have to defeat Hawkmoth A.S.A.P.!'''''\\
'''Caption:''' At least you have some motivation.
* Alya tells her classmates to wear all their Chat Noir merch to (a) help get people off Marinette's back by making it look like she just has a celebrity crush on Chat Noir and (b) rub Chat Noir's growing popularity in Chloé's face.
** Alya then claims she's doing it because Chat Noir doesn't get the recognition he deserves, driving Marinette to tears... as well as Adrien. Nino asks his best friend why ''he's'' so emotional about it.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Intermission 2]]
* Alya decides to do something she swore never to do again: ask Lila for an interview, specifically about her hatred for Scarlet Lady. Lila sparkles and happily holds onto a bemused Alya's arm.
* Adrien attempts to invite Marinette to the ice cream as a platonic thing:
-->'''Marinette:''' Then let's invite Luka and Kagami! Since it's a friend outing!\\
'''Adrien:''' ''[thinking, crying] [[HoistByHisOwnPetard You did this to yourself, Adrien!]]''
* After Rose and Juleka mention that André always thinks they're just "girly friends," Alix boasts about how her aromanticism caused him to have a mental breakdown.
* Nathalie tells Adrien he's forbidden from going out since he has to practice piano. How does he get around this?
-->'''Adrien:''' Man, Plagg. It sure sucks that '''''Adrien''''' isn't allowed out.\\
'''Plagg:''' U-huh.\\
'''Adrien:''' ''[puts on some piano music from his phone]'' And that '''''Adrien''''' has to practice piano.\\
'''Plagg:''' Sure.\\
'''Adrien:''' ''[clenching his fists as tears well in his eyes]'' And that '''''[[OverlyLongGag Adrien--]]'''''\\
'''Plagg:''' I '''''get''''' it already, [[LoopholeAbuse just suit up]]!
** Then it turns out Kagami's [[NotSoAboveItAll also fooling her mother to hang out with her friends]].
--->'''Kagami:''' Oh nooo! Looks like the fencing team strategy meeting isn't '''''here.''''' Seems like I've given my mother the wrong information~♥\\
'''Adrien:''' Ha! '''''I''''' snuck out behind Pére's back! He thinks I'm back in my room playing piano!\\
'''Kagami:''' '''Dammit!''' You've bested me '''''again,''''' Agreste!\\
'''Nino:''' [[LampshadeHanging Why have you turned being a delinquent child into a competition?]]
* When Adrien, Marinette, Luka, and Kagami are waiting for their turn, the former three are really interested in the next ice cream while Kagami just looks bored.
** In the same panel, André runs the volume and plane equations for a cone in his head similar to the "Confused Math Lady" meme when confronted with [[LoveDodecahedron Adrien, Marinette, Luka, and Kagami]] all standing next to each other.
--->'''Caption:''' Andre, just learn about polyamory already and this wouldn't be so hard for you!
* Kagami takes André to task for his business model (not using gloves, not posting his location, deciding his clients' orders without caring for allergies, etc)... until André makes her a Marigold cone, upon which [[NotSoAboveItAll she does a 180 while blushing]].
* Luka asks for platonic ice cream, stating his belief that the best relationships are the ones people work on. André replies that his ice cream can unite people with their true loves--[[OpenMouthInsertFoot like Luka's parents]].
-->'''Luka:''' ''[DeathGlare]'' I don't '''''have''''' a papa.\\
'''André:''' ''[sweating]'' Er, one friendship ice cream, coming right up.
* Nino decides that next time, they should just bring couples while Mylène hopes the four don't break André.
-->'''Caption:''' Screw that noise, FinishHim
* Chloé suddenly shows up and completely ignores how hard Adrien is trying to get away from her as she asks for ice cream. André becomes confused as he attempts to understand who gets the next cone.
* After André presents Adrien with a what looks like a Scarlet Lady cone, he rejects it. Then [[LoonyFan Wayhem]] shows up, [[ScrewThisImOuttaHere causing Adrien to take off running]].
-->'''Nathalie:''' Adrien? I saw a post about you being outside at the Pont--\\
'''Adrien:''' Hahaha, how could that be possible [[BlatantLies when I've been here the whole time]]?!\\
'''Nathalie:''' ... right.
* After Kagami tells Chloé off, Luka thanks her--while keeping Chloé at arm's length as she tries to get him to share his ice cream with her.
* Hawkmoth akumatizing Glaciator:
-->'''Glaciator:''' I'll give Adrien Agreste a double scoop and freeze him where he stands!
-->'''Hawkmoth:''' Haha, [[DelayedReaction wait]], [[OhCrap who-]]
* Chloé thinks the Scarlet Lady cone was meant for Adrien and shows up at his home in her heroine identity. Adrien hears her and ''immediately'' sports a ThisIsGonnaSuck face. Fortunately, Glaciator shows up, allowing Adrien to slam the security system in her face.
-->'''Adrien:''' [[DeadpanSnarker Oh noooo, duty calls Scarlet Lady.]]
* Marigold indicates Glaciator seems to be ignoring couples, and Scarlet Lady acts disgusted at the idea of faking being a couple to either of the other two heroes, only to ask why they aren't begging her to be the fake girlfriend. Then she notices that Chat Noir and Marigold have disappeared already.
* Chat Noir and Marigold as a couple:
-->'''Chat Noir:''' Alright, let's sell this, honey bee!\\
'''Marigold:''' ''[grinning like mad]'' Huh? Ooh, well, if we gotta! Heehee!
* Marigold's reaction when Chat Noir tells a deakumatized André that they're JustFriends.
* André is unnerved when Adrien comments that the cone he receives from the ice cream man at the end reminds him of ''two'' people.
-->'''Caption:''' Adrien, Andre will not stand for Polyamory, you KNOW THAT!

[[folder:Silencer: Tales of Luka the Musician]]
* Chloé makes sure that XY gets his meal for free but tells her father that he can still charge Bob Roth. Bob Roth, who is right next to her, is not amused.
* While Chloé is crushing on XY like there is no tomorrow, the latter barely acknowledges her.
* Bob Roth and XY planning their plagiarism right in front of Chloé. When they start their EvilLaugh, she wholeheartedly approves:
-->'''Chloé:''' ''[thinking while smiling and blushing] Ahhh, my people.''\\
'''Caption:''' Get better standards Chlo.
* Adrien actually ''cries'' when he sees how cool Kitty Section's submission for Bob Roth's contest looks. Plagg even pats his face to comfort him.
* It turns out that XY hired Chloé as his personal designer. He still keeps getting her name wrong.
* When Luka and Marinette call the plagiarists out, Chloé acts as if she is emotionally hurt:
-->'''Chloé:''' ''[pleading]'' Mon Chouka! I worked so hard on that mask! Are you calling me a '''''liar?'''''\\
'''Luka:''' ''[beyond furious]'' [[ShoutOut I'm not calling you a truther!]]
* When Hawkmoth akumatizes Luka's mask as Chloé is ranting about how hard it was to copy Marinette's designs, Luka puts on the mask with ''barely any hesitation,'' then [[FlippingTheBird flips off Chloé with both hands as he transforms]].
-->'''Chloé:''' W-What's that look for?! [[NeverMyFault I did nothing wrong!]] I'm just saying with '''''your''''' looks you could go solo, like XY! You just have to ditch your loser friends! [[KickTheDog And]] '''''[[KickTheDog forget]]''''' [[KickTheDog about Dupain-Cheng!]] Her designs are '''''way''''' too complicated! [[NotHelpingYourCase Do you know how hard it was to copy them?]] And also-- ''[sees Luka mid-akumatization]'' [[OhCrap Oh Σ%$#.]]
* When Luka confesses his feelings for Marinette, she thinks that it's the most romantic thing she's ever heard. Unfortunately, he did so hand puppet motions and using [[{{Jerkass}} XY]]'s voice. Marinette's hilarious facial expression says it all.
* Pollen is definitely shipping her queen with Luka.
* Things do not go well for Marigold upon arriving on the scene. First, Bob Ross uses her as a HumanShield, which leads to Silencer quickly stealing her voice. Then, when Scarlet Lady arrives, she begins to [[TemptingFate taunt her over it]]... only for Silencer to use that as an opening and [[LaserGuidedKarma steal her voice as well]]. He even says, "An opening!" using Marigold's voice. Marigold's face says it all.
* The girls text arguing over who has to text Chat Noir.
* Upon finding out that Scarlet Lady had her voice stolen, Chat Noir immediately teases the angry and frustrated heroine. When he learns that Marigold also had her voice stolen, though, Chat Noir immediately gives her a hug and declares he will help her recover her voice right away. Scarlet Lady is seething and [[FlippingTheBird flips him off]].
* Chat Noir and Marigold plot out how to deal with their current situation via texting--to which Scar contributes with a selfie.
-->'''Chat Noir:''' ''[seeing the selfie]'' [[SarcasmMode Thanks for the contribution, Scar.]]\\
'''Caption:''' Just let the grown-ups talk, Scar.
* While Chat Noir distracts Silencer, Marigold sneaks Bob Roth away... [[ComplainingAboutRescuesTheyDontLike only for him to promptly begins to make an ass of himself]]. Marigold ties him up and leaves him out of the way, giving Chat Noir a SlasherSmile when he asks where she was.
** Meanwhile, Scarlet Lady is... snuggling a tied up and very annoyed XY.
* Since Marigold tricks Silencer into summoning Venom for her instead of Lucky Charm, she brings along a net to catch the voices with, which the rest of Kitty Section are confused about. Apparently, she found it in the dressing room, not knowing [[NoodleImplements what it was doing there]].
* Marigold goes to give Scarlet Lady's voice back so she can purify the akuma and use the Miraculous Cure, but Scar is disgusted at the thought of having to put it in her mouth. Marigold then begins to take the voice for herself, causing Scar to immediately change her mind.
* Bob Roth [[FailedASpotCheck fails to notice]] Chat Noir [[EngineeredPublicConfession aiming a camera at him]] as the executive berates Luka:
-->'''Bob:''' Serves you right, thinking you could make me tell the truth! Like I'd admit I stole Kitty Section's song and look for my son! '''''Ha!''''' ...Uh, why are you smiling?\\
'''Marigold:''' Because Bob Roth, you're on Candid Camera!\\
'''Chat Noir:''' ''[waving]'' Smile!\\
'''Bob:''' '''[[OhCrap GAH!]]'''
* When Bob Roth pretends that he was just joking, tries to talk his way out of the mess he got himself into, and announces a record deal for Kitty Section, he's asked if they can get that in writing.
* Jagged Stone decides to make obvious his dislike of Bob Roth's attempt to plagiarize and threaten Marinette and Kitty Section in the most dramatic possible way: get Roth to a dark room and turn on a spotlight just to scare the crap out of his producer.
--->'''Jagged Stone:''' ''[turning a spotlight on]'' Bob.\\
'''Bob Roth:''' '''''Eeeekk!'''''\\
'''Jagged Stone:''' Let's talk about you threatening my favorite designer. And my ki-- uh, her friends.
** He also sets Fang on Chloé's shoes for her role in the mess.
--->'''Chloé:''' Daddyyyyy! Jagged Stone's stupid lizard is eating my shoes!\\

[[folder:Desperada: Tales of Vivica the Guitarist]]
* Marinette keeps stuttering and blushing around Luka, which just gets worse when Luka shows her how to play the guitar using the good old HandsOnApproach. [[ImStandingRightHere Her friends meanwhile are just watching in awkward silence]], trying to figure what the hell is going between the two of them.
* Once again, Adrien and Kagami have "mistakenly" gotten the address for their fencing practice wrong and end at the Couffaine's houseboat where their friends are. Their friends seem a little exasperated at the two keeping up the "innocent act."
* Adrien sees Marinette with Luka and becomes jealous immediately. Kagami meanwhile looks nervous standing next to him like he's a bomb about to go off any minute.
** Upon hearing that Luka confessed to Marinette, Adrien is seen with an EyeTwitch.
* After being "saved" by Jagged Stone, Marinette has an adorable meltdown.
* When Chloé shows up, she immediately demands compensation from Jagged for her shoes that Fang ate at the end of "Silencer." The rockstar is just annoyed at this point and tells her to send Bob the bill.
* Upon being turned into an akuma, Desperada calls Jagged out for trying to replace her with "a kid." How does Jagged reply?
-->'''Jagged Stone:''' Vivica, ''[[{{Hypocrite}} you're only two years older than him]]''.\\
'''Caption:''' (Pst, Jagged you're not supposed to '''''know''''' how old Luka is).
* When Desperada attacks Luka, Marigold uses her top's rope to fling Desperada away.
-->'''Luka:''' Did Marigold just '''''kill''''' Desperada?
* Marigold leads everyone to the sewers. Scarlet Lady keeps hopping from foot to foot and saying "Ew!"
** The boys gladly skedaddle when Marigold suggests for them to hide--because they really don't want to be near Scarlet Lady. Scar is crying in despair while reaching out to them.
** Chat Noir's voicemail message:
--->'''Voicemail:''' Chat got your tongue? Leave a message!
** Adrien runs around the corner and transforms into Chat Noir.
--->'''Marigold:''' Chat Noir!\\
'''Scarlet Lady:''' Why are you sweating?\\
'''Chat Noir:''' Eheheh!\\
'''Narration:''' Ran
* When Scarlet Lady realizes that Chat Noir is going to give out another Miraculous, she assumes he will give it to Adrien. Surprisingly, Marigold ''[[ActuallyAGoodIdea actually agrees with Scar]]'' that Adrien would make a good Miraculous user.
** Adrien decides to go along with it, telling Plagg that [[DeliberateUnderPerformance he plans to do badly on purpose]] so that he won't be called on again. What makes it funnier is that [[StrangeMindsThinkAlike this is similar to Marinette outing herself as Multimouse in "Puppeteer,"]] but he has no idea of it.
* Scarlet Lady fighting Marigold to be the one to give Adrien a Miraculous.
* As part of pretending to have never seen a Kwami before, Adrien asks if Sass is a genie. Sass seems annoyed by it.
** Plagg's not amused either. What makes it even funnier is that the author posted a close up of the frame he's in. (he's behind Sass if you missed him.)
* Aspik gleefully abusing Second Chance to get revenge on Scarlet Lady over and over, tripping and shoving and even using her as a human shield one time. Whenever she gets caught by Desperada, he just starts again.
-->'''[[EveryoneHasStandards Marigold]]:''' Aspik..?\\
'''Aspik:''' Don't worry. '''''You won't remember this.'''''
** At one point, Aspik tells Scar he's not only Adrien Agreste but also Chat Noir just to see her utterly horrified reaction.
--->'''Aspik:''' '''''Yesss, that's the face I wanted!''''' Second Chance!
* After "trying" multiple times, Adrien returns the Miraculous to Marigold. Then Luka shows up, asking about Adrien, but when Marigold turns around, [[StealthHiBye Adrien has already disappeared]]. Chat Noir shows up immediately afterwards, sweating buckets from all the running he's had to do.
* It turns out that the Eiffel Tower has been destroyed so many times that the area is now marked as a work hazard zone. Wearing a hard hat is mandatory.
** Viperion notes that the heroes had to have destroyed the Eiffel Tower quite a few times to get that warning. Marigold claims that technically it's the akuma that destroys it... right before Chat Noir uses Cataclysm.
* Scarlet doesn't need help to get hit by Desperada, because she keeps falling for it no matter how many Second Chances are used. Viperion ends up angrily asking if she can chill the [[SymbolSwearing #$%Σ]] out.
-->'''Tags:''' #Aspik didn't need to go as hard as he did Scar is a walking hazard on her own
* When Marigold leaves to return the Snake Miraculous, Scar declares she intends to follow her to finally learn where Chat Noir and Marigold get the Miraculous they give to temporary heroes. Marigold {{Troll}}s her by telling her she has to follow her and Viperion into the sewers. Scar then immediately decides [[ScrewThisImOuttaHere her timer's going off and runs away]].
* After Vivica is deakumatized, Jagged apologizes for firing her and welcomes her back to the band. Anarka knows what's going on, though.
-->'''Anarka:''' You fired her on purpose to play with our kids, didn't you?\\
'''Jagged:''' [[BlatantLies I don't know what you're talking about.]]
* After all the secrecy between Anarka and Jagged, it turns out that Juleka and Luka both already know that Jagged is their father--[[SecretSecretKeeper but Jagged and Anarka don't know that they know]]. Penny is in on the twins' secret and thinks it's hilarious.
** Also, Juleka's final line:
--->'''Juleka:''' Well, at least [[ShipperOnDeck we get a cool step-manager]].\\
'''Penny Rolling:''' ''[SpitTake]''
* After Luka assures Marinette that he doesn't mind her being "weird," Marinette replies that she'll always be his friend.
-->'''Luka:''' That said, I'm gonna compliment you a '''''lot''''' more to bring out Blushy Marinette.\\
'''Marinette:''' ''[with a LuminescentBlush]'' '''''[[BigNo NOOOOOOO!]]'''''
* Kagami asks Adrien why he hasn't asked Marinette out yet. His reply?
-->'''Adrien:''' There's an obstacle. A big, tall, annoying, dumb obstacle with bad fashion sense and is '''''so selfish!'''''\\
'''Kagami:''' I understand. [[AccidentalTruth Your father]] '''''is''''' a difficult person to overcome.\\

[[folder:Ikari Gozen: Tales of Tomoe the Swordswoman]]
* Kagami is fighting her mother when her phone dings.
-->'''Tomoe:''' What was '''''that.'''''\\
'''Kagami:''' ''[with a heavily sweating face]'' [[OhCrap Um...]]
* When Tomoe forbids Kagami from playing the game to find Adrien, Kagami internally notes that she's "going to play ''even harder'' now."
* As Chloé searches the park for a pair of buddies to tag along with so that they can do all the work of finding Adrien, Tikki questions why she didn't just sign up. As it turns out, Chloé ''did'' do that, but her application was denied for "some reason" (she's still banned from contests involving the Gabriel brand due to her plagiarism in "Mr. Pigeon").
-->'''Caption:''' ''Can't imagine why that would be, Chloe.''
* Chloé keeps trying to sabotage Marinette and Kagami, but to her frustration, all her efforts backfire. [[NiceJobFixingItVillain They even end up solving the riddles faster because of her.]]
* Chloé steals Kagami's phone just as Tomoe calls and wastes no time in tattling on Kagami with utter glee. Meanwhile, Kagami and Marinette attempt to get the phone back as they wonder how Chloé can run so fast.
** Kagami begins to tell off her mother, only to get an unpleasant surprise.
--->'''Kagami:''' Actually, okaa-san, I '''''do''''' have friends! '''''Lots''''' of friends! '''''Wonderful''''' friends! Friends '''''I chose myself''''' because I'm '''''done''''' with you '''''controlling my life--'''''\\
'''Ikari Gozen:''' With pleasure, Hawkmoth.\\
'''Kagami:''' '''[[CatharticScream Ughhhhhh!]]'''
* When Ikari Gozen attempts to grab Kagami, [[LaserGuidedKarma she ends up grabbing Chloé instead]], who later complains about [[SkewedPriorities how there's no Bluetooth inside the akuma's stomach]].
* Adrien is waiting for the winners of the contest when the akuma alert sounds out. He transforms and leaves whistling.
* With no Scarlet Lady in sight, Chat Noir and Marigold decide it's time to get a Miraculous. Chat mentions that one of them will have to stay with Kagami--who quickly clings to Marigold.
** Later, Marigold has to BridalCarry Kagami to escape Ikari Gozen. As far as Kagami is concerned, Chat doesn't need to rush.
* When Chat Noir gives Kagami the Dragon Miraculous:
-->'''Kagami:''' ''[surrounded by sparkles]'' Yes, I am grateful you recognize me as the perfect candidate.
* As Longg explains to Kagami what she can do, she's so eager to become a hero that she says the trigger phrase before Longg is done.
* When Ryūko hears Chat Noir calling Scarlet Lady "Scar."
-->'''Ryūko:''' "Scar"? You call your leader Scar?\\
'''Chat Noir:''' Gross, Scar's not the leader. She's a mascot at best.
* Marigold comes up with a plan and asks the others to distract Ikari Gozen. Ryūko seems [[SlasherSmile awfully eager]] to fight her mother's akuma.
* When Ikari Gozen reveals her FreudianExcuse for not letting Kagami have friends...
-->'''Chloé:''' Stop having your soap opera moment and '''''GET ME OUT!'''''
* When Ryūko lets herself get imprisoned (which is part of the plan), Chloé calls her a loser for getting caught ([[HypocriticalHumor despite having been caught first herself]]). A box of bath bombs immediately lands right on Chloé's head and shuts her up ([[NoSympathy much to Ryūko's delight]]).
* Ikari Gozen literally vormits the messed up Chloé out of her body.
-->'''Chloé:''' I '''''HATE YOU''''' PUKE-KO!
* When Scarlet Lady ''finally'' arrives to the fight, neither Chat nor Ryūko are interested in her antics and quickly drag her towards Ikari Gozen.
-->'''Scarlet Lady:''' Worry not, my poor, lost sidekicks, '''I''' have arrived--\\
'''Chat Noir:''' Hurry up, we need the cure!\\
'''Scarlet Lady:''' '''''HEY!'''''
* When Scarlet Lady crows about getting Chloé to safety, she gets her ego punctured when Tomoe asks her who she is.
-->'''Caption:''' You're a fool if you think Tomoe cares about you or the "other" you, Scarlet Lady.
* The tags at the end state that the other heroes likely ignored how Scarlet Lady was dripping in soapy water (from the bath bombs Ryūko used to get Chloé out of Ikari Gozen) by assuming the heroine was in the shower the entire time.
* When Longg calls Kagami out for interrupting him, she immediately apologizes and addresses him as "Kamisama." [[EasilyForgiven He quickly forgives her]] and even pats her head while wagging his tail.
* Kagami gets tackle-hugged from behind by an overexcited Marinette.
* The Gorilla can be seen [[NotSoAboveItAll making bunny ears behind Aurore's head]] in the winning photo of the contest with his usual stony expression.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Crocoduel: Tales of You Two Again?!]]
* The sheer fact that, due to the punctuation of the header, it sounds annoyed over the fact that the akuma is a repeat instead of someone new.
* Luka not divulging his exact age to Lila becomes a BrickJoke as the latter becomes determined to find out the truth:
** When Lila asks Luka how old he is turning on his birthday, Luka teasingly tells her that [[VagueAge he'll be one year older than last year]]. The annoyed Lila calls him a smartass.
** Lila then deduces that Luka and Juleka are twins because they have the same birthday, only for Luka to {{Troll}} her by suggesting that they might have been born on the same day years apart, all while Juleka has a SeenItAll look, implying this isn't the first time her brother's pulled this on others.
** Luka seemingly concedes defeat when Lila declares that he and Juleka must be twins if they're both Jagged's kids. However, as Lila walks away congratulating herself, he mentally notes that she still doesn't know just how old he and Juleka are turning.
* Juleka tells Marinette that she knows who her father is and that he doesn't get along with her mother. Marinette immediately asks Juleka if he's a cop.
* Marinette's reaction when Juleka tells her that [[OnlySaneByComparison between her parents, her mother's the responsible one]].
* Since he's Gabriel's son, Adrien [[SeenItAll doesn't bat an eye]] at Juleka and Luka's dad being someone who can't enter a cinema without causing a scene and has a manager they must talk through. Marinette, in the other hand, has wide eyes and {{Sweat Drop}}s.
* Marinette is confused when Jagged Stone shows up at the birthday party. When she finally gets it, her face is priceless. Juleka's sheepish reaction and NotSoInnocentWhistle only makes it better.
* Anarka immediately finds Jagged despite his attempts at being sneaky... [[EpicFail because he parked his tour bus right on the dock]].
* Marinette, Luka, and Juleka realize the twins' parents are about to get akumatized.
-->'''Juleka and Luka:''' [[ThisIsGonnaSuck Happy birthday to us.]]
* Even Hawkmoth is surprised about whom he's akumatizing:
-->'''Hawkmoth:''' What? [[TitleDrop You two again?]]
* Everyone at the party is so distracted watching the two akumas that [[FailedASpotCheck they don't notice Adrien and Marinette sneaking off right behind them so they can transform]].
* Tikki tries to get Chloé to transform, but she complains that [[JerkassHasAPoint she can't fly to where the villains are despite being a Ladybug superhero]].
-->'''Chloé:''' Make me able to fly!
-->'''Tikki:''' No.
* Scar [[TemptingFate gleefully mocks Marigold and Chat Noir]] when Guitar Villain and Captain Hardrock simply ignore the two superheroes. The villains then quickly yell at her that they're ignoring her, too.
* When Marigold and Chat Noir realize that they forgot to carry their potions with them, their awkward reactions are hilarious.
* While Chat Noir goes off to retrieve more Miraculous, Marigold pulls the unwilling Scar into protecting civilians.
-->'''Scar:''' [[BigNO Noooooo!]]\\
'''Juleka:''' ...Maybe we should pitch in and help.
* When Fu asks why Adrien doesn't have the space potion on him, Adrien points out that he can't be expected to carry weird colored cheese all the time. Plagg immediately calls him out for being a coward.
* Alya, Mylène, and Lila watch as Captain Hardrock and Guitar Villain argue and reveal what happened between them, with Lila eager to learn all their secrets. Alya's glasses even ''crack'' from the shock.
-->'''Captain Hardrock:''' You only every cared about your music! That's why you dumped me when you started climbing the charts!\\
'''Alya:''' Whoa.\\
'''Lila:''' Omigod the tea.\\
'''Guitar Villain:''' Have you caught sea madness?! '''''You''''' dumped '''''me'''''! And didn't even tell me you were pregnant, and '''''blocked''''' me from my '''''own kids!'''''\\
'''Alya:''' '''''What?!'''''\\
'''Lila:''' Ohohomighod the '''''tea!'''''
* Chat Noir and Marigold take Luka and Juleka with them to lend them each a Miraculous while a furious Scar is ignored and left behind.
-->'''Scar:''' What about '''''me?!'''''
* When Chat Noir uses his staff to send Marigold and Purple Tigress flying, Scarlet Lady tries to join them... only to get hit with a satisfying [[WrittenSoundEffect "WHACK!"]]
* Marigold and Purple Tigress manage to snatch the broken record pieces and snap them over their knees... and then go OhCrap when the butterfly doesn't show up.
* When the heroes try to understand where the akuma is, Purple Tigress and Viperion each realize the other's secret identity:
-->'''Purple Tigress and Viperion:''' [[SpeakInUnison I saw the akuma go in before it was broken--]] ''[[[SomethingOnlyTheyWouldSay glare at each other]]]''
* When Purple Tigress punches Captain Hardrock and Guitar Villain with Clout, Viperion and Chat Noir are so shocked they are {{Jaw Drop}}ping, and the latter Cataclysms the akumatized object without looking at it.
* Juleka tells Marigold she knows Viperion's real identity and suspects Viperion knows hers. Marigold breaks into a cold sweat.
-->'''Marigold:''' I-It's fine. Probably.\\
'''Juleka:''' Are you '''''sure?''''' You don't '''''look''''' fine.\\
'''Marigold:''' Nah, it's '''''probably''''' cool.
* Juleka tells off her parents for their arguments.
-->'''Anarka:''' J-Juleka, there's something you don't know about this ship rat--\\
'''Juleka:''' What, that he's my '''''dad?'''''\\
'''Anarka/Jagged Stone:''' You '''''knew?!'''''\\
'''Juleka:''' I've '''''always''''' known. And now so does '''''[[EverybodyKnewAlready all of Paris]]'''''.
* Anarka and Jagged ''finally'' compare notes... and realize ''who'' actually caused their break up.
-->'''Jagged Stone:''' Bob '''''gave me''''' your letter! It said you wanted '''''nothing to do with me!''''' It didn't even mention the kids!\\
'''Anarka:''' Have you swallowed sea water?! '''''Bob''''' gave me '''''your letter''''' and it said you wanted nothing to do with '''''me!''''' Right after '''''I''''' told Bob I was pregnant--\\
''[[ExplainExplainOhCrap [beat] ]]''\\

''[DistantReactionShot]''\\
'''Bob Roth:''' Why do I feel a sudden chill..?\\
'''Caption:''' That's the dread of your paycheck suddenly being in jeopardy Bob.
* Jagged finally decides to leave Bob Roth's record label, but his resignation letter is worded instead as a notice of termination for ''Bob'', even though he owns the company. The fact that Bob himself initially seems to fall for it when he first reads it and does a SpitTake, all while he's implicitly just run up a ShockinglyExpensiveBill at a fancy restaurant, makes it even better.

[[folder:Robostus: Tales of Markov the Robot]]
* Marinette finds Max talking to something in his bag, telling it that it's his best friend. When Pollen asks if Max's best friend lives in his bag, Marinette states it doesn't make sense... [[HypocriticalHumor and then asks Pollen if the Kwami has enough spicy chips in her bag]].
* When Chloé attempts to insult Markov (as well as Max's skills in creating him) by claiming her hair dryer is more advanced, Marinette snarks that the only one less advanced than a hair dryer is Chloé herself.
* Marinette asking Mlle. Mendeleiev to let her go to the principal's office and get Markov.
-->'''Mendeleiev:''' No! And I'm done with this topic!
-->'''Marinette:''' Could it be Markov was right and you're jealous of a '''''robot?'''''
-->'''Mendeleiev:''' '''''Enough! Principal's office! Now!'''''
-->'''Marinette:''' [[{{Unishment}} Thank you!]]
-->'''Mendeleiev:''' [[DidntThinkThisThrough ...wait.]]

** The {{Flat What}}s Hawkmoth ''and'' Marigold have when Robostus declares ''he'' will use the wish and become a real human.
* By the time Marinette reaches the principal's office, Markov has already transformed into Robostus and is attacking Damocles, prompting her to wordlessly turn around.
* Max escapes from Robostus, telling him he will stop him so he can get Markov back. Robostus seemingly "cries" in response.
-->'''Robostus:''' Top 10 human betrayals. No. 5 will surprise you.
* Adrien asks Fu for a new Miraculous, and Fu gives him the Horse.
-->'''Fu:''' Now, Adrien, I must stress that this is a '''''very useful and important Miraculous''''' and it needs to be treated with the '''''utmost''''' care.\\
'''Adrien:''' Uh, of course, Master Fu, but why is '''''this one''''' so special?\\
'''Fu:''' ''Because without it [[MundaneUtility I can't get my hometown speciality tea]] [[HypocriticalHumor any time I want]]''.
* The RunningGag of putting more emphasis on how impressive Markov's creation is continues with Kaalki, who gets Max's creation of an "evolving artificial intelligence" as his "glorious and famous" feat. Kaalki can only "surmise" that this is impressive.
* Pegasus and Scarlet Lady's first meeting quickly descends into a slap fight between the two, with Pegasus holding the Ladybug heroine off with one hand behind his back. Chat Noir has to yell at them to knock it off.

* When Nadja asks about Scarlet Lady, Chat Noir says she'll be there "at the last possible second." A bonus panel reveals that Chloé is indeed waiting for the right time to make an entrance worthy of her stardom.
* The first caller is Alya, who asks Chat Noir and Marigold if they are willing to give an interview for the ''Ladyblog''. When Scarlet Lady points out Alya missed her, Alya [[DeadpanSnarker deadpans]] that her blog's fans want the ''real'' heroes of Paris, [[SnubByOmission not her]].
** When the twins ask about Koki Marina, Marigold states that the Turtle heroine is a great hero that will eventually return. Cut to Alya blushing [[SarcasmMode for no apparent reason]].
** And, of course, Alya's sheer RefugeInAudacity in asking the heroes for an interview ''during Nadja's interview with the heroes''.
* The second caller is [[{{Troll}} Lila]]. Scar begins mocking her, but Lila cracks to Marigold and Chat Noir, "How do you put up with Scarlet Lady when she's the worst?" Naturally, Scar bursts into anger while Marigold and Chat nervously try their best to answer with how [[BlatantLies Scar is an important asset]], only for Lila to translate:
-->'''Lila:''' [[BrutalHonesty So you put up with her because you have to. Got it.]]\\
''' Nadja:''' ''[exasperated]'' Goodbye, caller.
* Under orders to get control of the show, Nadja asks the heroes about the rumors of them being a couple.
-->'''Scarlet Lady:''' Gross. As if I'd '''''ever''''' be a couple with '''''either''''' of these sidekicks!\\
'''Nadja:''' Um... I'm referring to "[=ChatGold=]." No one seems to care about '''''your''''' love life.\\
'''Scarlet Lady:''' '''''WHAT?!'''''
** Chat Noir and Marigold refuse to comment, so Nadja pulls out the big guns: [[CallBack a photo of them kissing during the Dark Cupid incident]].
--->'''Chat Noir:''' [[OhCrap Oh]] [[LuminescentBlush no.]]\\
'''Marigold:''' '''''[[BigWhat WH]][[LuminescentBlush AT?!]]'''''\\
'''Scarlet Lady:''' [[UnusuallyUninterestingSight Oh, that.]]
* As Nadja attempts to force a LoveConfession out of Chat Noir and Marigold by bombarding them with images of [[CallBack various cute moments they had together]], Scarlet Lady interrupts:
-->'''Scarlet Lady:''' '''''OH KNOCK IT OFF ALREADY!!!''''' I'm at my [[SymbolSwearing #$%&ing]] limit!
** Poor Marigold is shown to have BlankWhiteEyes from the sheer shock of Nadja's presentation, with a fuming Scarlet Lady helping Chat lead her out.
** The fact that despite Scarlet Lady [[ScrewThisImOuttaHere wanting to leave]] because [[ItsAllAboutMe Nadja wasn't focusing enough on her]], Chat Noir ''[[ActuallyAGoodIdea actually agrees]]'', if only so he and Marigold can stop being bothered by Nadja's insistence that they're dating.
** After the show blows up, one of the techies asks [[LampshadeHanging a rather obvious question]] (likely intended as a jab towards "Troublemaker"):
--->'''Techie:''' Do you think we'd have a better success rate if every show at our station wasn't '''''live?'''''
* After Nadja has turned into Prime Queen, she makes a return. Lila has something to say.
-->'''Lila:''' What a dumpster fire.\\
'''Prime Queen:''' Good evening! Welcome to your new show! I'm your hostess, Prime Queen!\\
'''Lila:''' [[DeadpanSnarker ... Of course.]]
** Prime Queen states her intentions:
--->'''Prime Queen:''' Tonight, Marigold and Chat Noir disappointed their fans by refusing to admit they're a couple in love!\\
'''Chat Noir, Marigold, and Scarlet Lady:''' ''[[[SpeakInUnison simultaneously]]]'' [[YouHaveGotToBeKiddingMe You've got to be kidding me.]]
** And, in order to force the duo to admit their feelings, she kidnaps Lila--by reaching through the TV screen.
--->'''Lila:''' What the heck, why '''''me?!'''''
** Prime Queen puts Lila into a train that will crash unless the akuma gets her way. Lila is most definitely ''not'' happy.
--->'''Lila:''' Nadja, you idiot, you just kidnapped your own babysitter!
** Scarlet Lady's SkewedPriorities remain obvious:
--->'''Prime Queen:''' Will you dare to go through the screen to save your dear little Lila?\\
'''Scarlet Lady:''' [[RefuseToRescueTheDisliked As if I'd get my nails dirty for the superliar.]]\\
'''Chat Noir:''' It's being broadcasted live.\\
'''Scarlet Lady:''' '''''[[AttentionWhore OUT OF MY WAY!]]'''''
** Prime Queen establishes the goal: either Chat Noir and Marigold admit they are in love, or the train crashes.
--->'''Chat Noir:''' A forced confession is as good as a false confession!\\
'''Prime Queen:''' I '''''want''''' my '''''scoop!'''''\\
'''Marigold:''' Seriously, why does anyone even care about this?!\\
'''Lila:''' [[DeadpanSnarker If it helps, I care more about the "not crashing" part.]]
* Marigold confesses she's in love with Chat Noir, but Prime Queen [[MovingTheGoalposts states it's not enough]] and demands them to give her the Miraculous if they want to prove their love.
-->'''Scarlet Lady:''' '''''Gross.''''' I'm not in love with '''''either''''' of these cretins. And I will do no such thing!\\
'''Prime Queen:''' Oh, I forgot you were there.\\
'''Scarlet Lady:''' '''''[[CurseCutShort YOU-!]]'''''\\
'''Caption:''' We all did, Prime Queen.
* Prime Queen shows she has kidnapped Alya, and [[RefuseToRescueTheDisliked Scarlet Lady complains about having to save her since Alya had snubbed her]]. Lila promptly shoves the heroine into the television.
-->'''''Lila: HURRY UP SO I CAN GO BACK TO MY ROOM!'''''
* Chat Noir confessing [[LovesMyAlterEgo he's in love with Marinette Dupain-Cheng]] causes Marigold to experience a ColorFailure.
* Later that night, Lila hears that Nadja wants to interview Alya... on a ''new'' show she's hosting.
-->'''Lila:''' All that melodrama over her dumb show being cancelled, and they just '''''handed her a new one?!'''''

!!Season 5
[[folder:Zombizou: Tales of Caline the Teacher]]
* Adrien is distracted with his thought that Marinette may be Marigold, and Plagg warns him that telling Fu may lead to him losing the Miraculous. Meanwhile...
-->'''Marinette:''' Pollen, should I try to find out Chat Noir's identity?\\
'''Pollen:''' [[YesMan Whatever you think is best!]]
* One of the things Lila likes the most about Mme. Bustier is the "morning compliment time"--because she gets to engage in PassiveAggressiveKombat full of {{Backhanded Compliment}}s with [[HatedByAll Chloé]].
* When Chloé's sabotage of Marinette's present is shown, [[SmugSnake the former doesn't even bother hiding that she did it]].
* Mme. Bustier takes Marinette outside the classroom to speak with her, asking Alya to ensure things don't get out of hand. Alya assures her she'll keep everyone right on track... while the entire class is giving a Grade-1 CollectiveDeathGlare (yes, even [[NiceGirl Rose]]) to [[HatedByAll Chloé]], who is sweating buckets.
* Hawkmoth sends the butterfly to akumatize Marinette... while praying that it will be worth the risk.
-->'''Caption:''' Hawkmoth is really at the end of his rope here.
* Hawkmoth changes his mind and picks Mme. Bustier, but he's aware that she will target Marinette, so he's still worried about Chat Noir's reaction.
-->'''Hawkmoth:''' Well, switching from the girl to someone upset with the girl is '''''marginally''''' better, I '''''guess.''''' In for a penny, in for a pound.\\
'''Caption:''' "I mean, I already sent out the butterfly."
* When Chloé witnesses Mme. Bustier being akumatized, she tries to sneak away until she hears Bustier saying she'll start with Marinette.
* Sabrina is Zombizou's first victim, and she ends up tackling Lila to kiss her.
-->'''Lila:''' Sabrina! Stop smearing your lip gloss all over me! [[ComicallyMissingThePoint Now's not the time to realize how amazing I am!]]
* Nathaniel attempts to warn everyone in art club about Zombizou, only for the akuma to show up [[RightBehindMe right behind him]]. Nathaniel's OhCrap face is hilarious.
-->'''Caption:''' Bye bye, Nathaniel ''(crying emoji)''
** Also, if you look carefully, you'll notice that Nathaniel's shirt says [[MythologyGag G.O.A.T.]].
* Adrien fakes having fallen for Zombizou's effect.
-->'''Adrien:''' Oh noo, I-I feel faint. I think I- ugh, ki-kissou--\\
'''Nino:''' Dude, I love you but not enough to makeout with your zombie, '''''stay away!'''''\\
'''Caption:''' Sooo, [[HoYay if he WASN'T a zombie...?]]
* When Max is caught by the zombies, he asks the others to hit Zombizou extra hard, because being kissed is very uncomfortable for him.
* Kim pushes Scarlet Lady off the roof while shouting at her to get on with saving everyone.
* Scar getting instant LaserGuidedKarma when she's the one that gets kissed instead of Marinette is worth a chuckle.
** For extra {{Irony}}, she's kissed by Chat Noir, AKA Adrien Agreste, the boy she likes.
** Plus, there's Scar's SkewedPriorities:
-->'''Scarlet Lady:''' Ew ew '''''ew, CAT LIPS!'''''
** Not to mention Marinette's [[ThousandYardStare utterly mortified expression]] when she finally gets a chance to transform.
* The next day, Marinette apologizes to her classmates for causing Mme. Bustier to be akumatized by going off on her. The others actually think it was awesome, with several of them holding a bit of a grudge against their teacher for what she lets Chloé get away with.
** Then they declare they'd be willing to jump in front of a hundred akumas to protect Marinette.
--->'''Marinette:''' Thanks, but '''''PLEASE DON'T'''''!
[[/folder]]
[[folder:The Mime: Tales of Fred the Performer]]
* Marinette is speaking with Pollen as she tries to narrow down Chat Noir's SecretIdentity when Alya shows up all of a sudden and asks who Marinette's talking to. Marinette points at a pigeon and claims she was talking to "Jacques," much to Alya's befuddlement. The bird makes a cute bow as if Marinette is a FriendToAllLivingThings.
** Alya apparently buys Marinette's SeamlessSpontaneousLie due to seeing Jacques bow to her in response.
** Later, Jacques shines even if it's Alya's turn to shine.
* Alya shows Marinette a video that has, among other things, Scarlet Lady telling a journalist to get away from her because he works "for that ''cheap'' magazine."
* Alya's currently running the ''[[LongList Ladyblog]]''[[LongList , the school blog, Marinette's fashion blog, and a blog about Markov]]. It's also implied there's even ''more'' blogs she didn't mention.
* When Alya steps away to make a post on one of her ''many'' blogs, Pollen asks if she can see Alya's video, and Marinette moves to restart the video. A sudden gust of wind distracts her, and she ''accidentally deletes'' Alya's video. There aren't enough words that can explain how huge Marinette and Pollen's OhCrap faces are.
* In order to keep Alya from finding out about what happened, Marinette steals her bestie's cellphone and hides it behind her back while seeing her off. She does this in full view of Mylène, who gives her some ''epic'' side-eye while sliding out from behind her.
-->'''Mylène:''' '''''Marineeeeette.'''''\\
'''Marinette:''' ''[gives her a cat-eyed stare, realizing she DidntThinkThisThrough]''
* When the Mime attacks the Agreste car, Marigold shows up to save them--and when she and Adrien see each other, they remember that there's a high chance the other is the person they like. So they ''[[FlirtingUnderFire flirt with each other]]''.
-->'''Adrien and Marigold:''' [[SayItWithHearts Hey~♥]]
* Chat Noir joins Marigold.
-->'''Chat Noir:''' Starting the party without me, Honey Bee?\\
'''Marigold:''' Hardly!\\
'''Chat Noir:''' Let's see what he's got!\\
''[Chat Noir attacks, only to get whacked when the Mime mimes hitting him]''\\
'''Marigold:''' [[DeadpanSnarker Yeah, you won't be "seeing" much of anything.]]
* When Marigold decides to give Mylène a Miraculous, she tells the girl to go and hide in an alley "for at least 10 minutes." Mylène is confused at how specific this request is.
* [[ApologeticAttacker Ultimutt apologizes as the Mime falls off the bus]], though from context, it seems that she was holding onto his arm until he tried to attack her, meaning it was mainly his own fault.
* Ultimutt tricks the Mime into participating in a mime off, during which she pretends to mime the throwing of a ball... but instead hits the akuma's hat with her real ball, allowing a Fetch of the hat and the akumatized object hidden inside it.
* With Ultimutt ready to Fetch the Mime's hat, all that's missing is for Scarlet Lady to show up. Chat Noir primes up Cataclysm.
-->'''Chat Noir:''' Oh, '''''I''''' know how to get her attention.\\
'''Chloé:''' ''[sunbathing, with the Eiffel Tower in the background]''\\
'''Chat Noir:''' ''[in the distance]'' Cataclysm!\\
'''Chloé:''' ''[seeing [[MonumentalDamage the Eiffel Tower starting to collapse]]]'' [[FantasticallyIndifferent Ugh,]] '''''[[FantasticallyIndifferent this]]''''' [[FantasticallyIndifferent again?]] Tikkiiiiii!
** There's the fact that despite the heroes not needing to bring down the Eiffel Tower like in canon, it still gets destroyed anyway.
* After the Mime is stopped, Chat Noir flirts with Marigold by suggesting they go to the show, only for Marigold to counter by strongly hinting she knows he's trying to discover her SecretIdentity. She then ''challenges'' him to see which of them finds out the truth first. Chat Noir takes the challenge with a grin.
* Scarlet Lady as Chat Noir, Marigold, and Ultimutt do the FistBump:
-->'''Scarlet Lady:''' Where'd you get the poodle?\\
'''Marigold:''' [[DeadpanSnarker The same place I get every hero to pick up your slack. From the distant land of None-Ya Business.]]
* Marigold tells Barkk that being an actress gave Mylène a good sense of timing.
-->'''Mylène:''' [[INeverSaidItWasPoison How'd you know I'm an actress?]]\\
'''Marigold:''' [[INeedToGoIronMyDog Whoop, that's my timer,]] [[ScrewThisImOuttaHere time to go Barkk!]]
* After all the catastrophizing Marinette went through in her fear of Alya's reaction to her video being deleted... it turns out that Alya's phone automatically uploads all her videos to the cloud.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Gorizilla: Tales of ____ the Bodyguard]]
* Because The Gorilla's name has yet to be revealed, the title card puts his fist in front of the spot where his name would be.
* While the fact that Gabriel seems to be drawing a potential connection between Adrien and Chat Noir is concerning, the way that he casually dismisses his son trying to ask him a question is somewhat amusing:
-->'''Gabriel:''' ''[as calculations swirl around his head]'' Yes... Busy...\\
'''Adrien:''' Uh, père?\\
'''Gabriel:''' Why are you still here?
* Chloé orders several boxes of Gabriel's latest perfume, ''Adrien'', and lounges in the bottles while sighing about her crush. Not the perfume itself; just the bottles.
-->'''Chloé:''' Radiant... Carefree... Dreamy... ''Adrien''~\\
'''Tikki:''' [[DeadpanSnarker Single-handedly financing the business, are you?]]
* A bonus panel has Marinette explaining to Pollen why she's bringing so many swimsuits. Pollen admires her owner being so CrazyPrepared while also quietly acknowledging the downside:
-->'''Marinette:''' So this swimsuit is in case something happens to the first swimsuit in the wave pool, and ''this'' swimsuit is in case someone spills ice cream on themselves, and ''this'' swimsuit is in case someone is self-conscious about the swimsuit they brought and wants to change...\\
'''Pollen:''' ''[proudly thinking] My Queen is so prepared and so going to be late.''
** When Marinette calls Alya to apologize about being late, Alya immediately guesses (correctly) that her best friend had tried to pack five backup swimsuits "just in case."
* Poor Adrien's day gets worse when he's promptly recognized by Wayhem, who immediately drags him into a selfie and posts it. As others react to Adrien presence with stars in their eyes, he can only [[ThisIsGoingToSuck stare in horror]], mumbling [[OhCrap "Oh no."]]
* Chloé is spraying ''EVERYTHING'' in her room with Gabriel's new fragrance. Once she gets an alert that Adrien's outside, she spritzes poor Tikki right in the face while preparing to "grace him with my presence":
-->'''Chloé:''' ''[posing proudly]'' Ready to go!\\
'''Tikki:''' ''[coughing]'' [[DeadpanSnarker Now that you smell like teenage boy and cheese?!]]
* Chloé's pettiness reaches even greater levels: she transforms into Scarlet Lady just because someone posted a photo of Adrien and Marinette and said the latter was Adrien's girlfriend.
** She also tries to "rescue" Adrien from Marinette, [[ComicallyMissingThePoint failing to realize]] her attempt is [[UnwantedRescue completely unwanted]]. Nor does she like the fact that Adrien chose "peasant" places to hide.
--->'''Scarlet Lady:''' What the heck, Adrikins, stop hiding out in '''''poor''''' places so I can rescue you already! The public park?! The subway?! Didn't your daddy raise you better?!
* In Part 3's bonus, while Alya, Rose, and Mylène gossip about Adrien and Marinette being caught hiding in a fountain, there's a FunnyBackgroundEvent of Kagami sporting a DeathGlare as she shoots Alix in the back with a water gun.
* When Adrien reveals how his father went so far as to hide the only DVD copy they had of the ''Solitude''[[note]]The movie in which Adrien's mother stars as the lead actress[[/note]], it really triggers Marinette's BerserkButton.
-->'''Adrien:''' ''[noticing Marinette's BattleAura]'' A-Are you okay?\\
'''Marinette:''' '''''[[BlatantLies Totes.]]'''''\\
'''Narration:''' Urge to kill rising.
* While Adrien and Marinette are at the cinema, what should show up in the pre-movie ads but the ''[[EmbarrassingAdGig Adrien]]'' fragrance ad? Adrien (who's wearing a motorcycle helmet) lowers the visor in annoyance while Marinette laughs.
-->'''Tags:''' #seriously missed opportunity that Adrien's friends didn't rip on him 24/7 after this commercial dropped
* Adrien and Marinette's viewing of ''Solitude'' gets interrupted when someone gets a photo of them. Scarlet Lady shows up... and gets trampled by the crowd of Adrien fans.
* Scar reveals her true colors:
-->'''Scarlet Lady:''' '''''How dare you pretend to be my Prince's girlfriend!'''''\\
'''Marinette:''' [[LampshadeHanging Is]] '''''[[LampshadeHanging this]]''''' [[LampshadeHanging what you do with your free time?]]
* Gorizilla interrupts things by crashing his gigantic hand through the roof and grabbing Adrien.
-->'''Scarlet Lady:''' He got Adrien! Someone do something!\\
'''Random fan:''' Isn't that what '''''you're''''' here for?
* Wayhem loudly declares he will save Adrien... [[FunnyBackgroundEvent while Marinette transforms just three rows behind him]]. [[BrickJoke He does in fact later help defeat Gorizilla by returning Marigold's top to her.]]
* The caption, much like in "Horrificator," indulges in a BaitAndSwitchComment at Scarlet Lady's expense:
--> '''Caption:''' Look what you fools have done! All that tagging Adrien's location, you brought ''Scarlet Lady'' right to him!
* Adrien has no faith in Scarlet Lady.
-->'''Scarlet Lady:''' I'll save you, Mon Prince!\\
'''Adrien:''' [[DeadpanSnarker I won't hold my breath.]]
* Marigold prepares her top to use Venom on Gorizilla... and Scarlet Lady slaps the top away due to [[SkewedPriorities wanting save Adrien herself]]. Marigold looks ready to kill when the top falls off the building they're on.
** There's also the fact that right before she loses her top, [[TemptingFate Marigold explicitly comments that defeating Gorizilla will be easy since she has Venom]].
* Scar tries to attack the akuma... [[LaserGuidedKarma and quickly gets herself captured]].
* When Adrien doesn't transform into Chat Noir even while Marigold's captured, Hawkmoth simply sighs and tells his akuma to let her escape, noting that he [[SkewedPriorities "can't make ads with a pancake son."]]
* After Marigold brings Adrien to safety, he almost slips and calls her "Honeybee," causing others to wonder what's going on. [[MomentKiller Gorizilla chooses that moment to interrupt]], giving Adrien and Marigold some hilarious OhCrap faces.
* After Wayhem throw's Marigold's top back at her and apologizes to Adrien for starting the mess, Adrien decides to [[ThrowTheDogABone give him his email address]], saying he had fun when they met back during "Ikari Gozen"...
-->'''Adrien:''' '''''But it's only for you.''''' I better not find it on Reddit or something.\\
'''Wayhem:''' F-Fair...
* Gabriel tries to passive-aggressively hint to his son that he believed him to be Chat Noir. It... doesn't go the way he planned.
--> '''Gabriel:''' If you start hiding things from me, I'll imagine all kinds of things. Understand?\\
'''Adrien:''' No? What kinds of things?\\
'''Gabriel:''' ''[flustered]'' Uh, nevermind.
* When Marinette finally arrives to the water park, the girls crowd around her.
-->'''Alya:''' So, are you, like, Adrien's '''''girlfriend''''' now?\\
'''Marinette:''' [[HeIsNotMyBoyfriend N-No!]]\\
'''Rose:''' But do you '''''want''''' to '''''be?'''''\\
'''Marinette:''' ''[with a LuminescentBlush]'' ... I don't know.\\
'''Someone:''' ''[spraying Marinette with water]'' '''''WRONG ANSWER!'''''\\
'''Marinette:''' '''''GAH!!!'''''
** For extra hilarity, Kagami is the only one to have been seen carrying a water gun. You can easily see this as ''[[NotSoAboveItAll Kagami]]'' shooting water at Marinette because she's a ShipperOnDeck and Marinette won't take the chance.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Sandboy: Tales of the Sleepwalker]]
* Plagg and Tikki sneak out of their homes to meet each other, with the latter concerned about whether Pollen can come up with a good excuse.
-->'''Tikki:''' I hope Pollen managed to come up with a cover story. She's [[BadLiar not a good liar]].\\
''[[[DescriptionCut cut to Pollen and Marinette]]]''\\
'''Pollen:''' Good night, my Queen. And thank you for allowing me to venture out this evening.\\
'''Narration:''' ''[with arrow pointing at Pollen]'' [[HonestyIsTheBestPolicy Just told the truth]]\\
'''Marinette:''' Don't forget your gift!
* Tikki and Plagg cheerily greet Pollen until they notice the latter carrying a bag much bigger than her. Moreover, the three Kwamis have the same reactions they did when they met in "Riposte."
* Tikki and Plagg sweat and exchange nervous glances when Sass notes how fortunate they are that their holders allowed them to attend.
-->'''Plagg:''' [[SureLetsGoWithThat Yeaaaaah, "allow."]]
* Despite lamenting in "Reflekta" that without her influence, Marinette was (seemingly) becoming a criminal, Tikki [[HypocriticalHumor steals Chloé's diamond scrunchie to give to Nooroo]] and [[NotSoAboveItAll eagerly anticipates Chloé noticing it's missing]], complete with a CheshireCatGrin.
* Chloé's nightmare is being attacked... by her clothes and makeup.
* Rose's nightmare is being hated by [[GirlsLoveStuffedAnimals her many stuffed animals]].
* When the Chat Noir in Marinette's nightmare shows up, [[NiceGirl Rose]] [[BewareTheNiceOnes kicks him in the face and proceeds to beat the crap out of him]] as she drags him into a BigBallOfViolence. Marinette salutes her.
-->'''Marinette:''' ''[thinking]'' ''Bless you Rose you violent angel.''
** Rose later manages to restrain Nightmare!Chat Noir by [[WrestlerInAllOfUs putting him in a Boston crab]].
* When Marinette gets into Master Fu's home, she briefly forgets the code for the Miraculous Box, leading to the image of a panicking Marinette trying (and failing) to open a gramophone.
* Marinette wakes Fu up while he's having a nightmare of being blamed for the Order of the Guardians' destruction. The {{Bedsheet Ghost}}s are so non-scary that Marinette doesn't know why Fu is scared.
-->'''Marinette:''' [[ComicallyMissingThePoint Your nightmare is talking handkerchiefs?]]
* The Kwamis manage to contact Nooroo... right when Hawkmoth was using the Miraculous. The Kwamis' reactions (particularly Plagg treating everything like a botched phone call) are hilarious.
* While persecuted by the {{Bedsheet Ghost}}s, Fu reveals that [[NoodleIncident whatever he did]] was because he was hungry. The Kwamis decide not to make the scene more awkward than it is and just silently {{sweatdrop}} as they watch.
** Tikki and Plagg even keep staring as they fly back to their holders, with Plagg attempting a NotSoInnocentWhistle.
* As Marigold picks up a Miraculous to lend out, Fu begs her to use Bee Balm to at least get rid of the nightmares.
* Upon returning to Adrien, Plagg is greeted by his holder, who cries tears of immense relief that his Kwami is no longer a sock, [[ComicallyMissingThePoint not realizing that Plagg snuck off after leaving a sock]] as a SleepingDummy.
* Chloé believes that [[ItsAllAboutMe her belongings came to life and are attacking her because they want to overthrow her]] [[YoureJustJealous out of jealousy]]; she only realizes it's an akuma when Tikki suggests it.
* Rather than get excited that she's about to become a temporary hero, Rose is instead horrified by the thought of having to fight a child, forcing Marigold to assure her that they need her for something else.
* Even after transforming, Pigella's fear (her stuffed animals hating her) doesn't change, leading to Scarlet Lady mocking her and Sandboy whining that her fear doesn't give him a lot to work with.
** There's also Scarlet Lady's [[{{Hypocrite}} hypocrisy]]: she mocks Pigella for having a nightmare that mostly involves just being attacked by stuffed animals (while being [[BridalCarry Bridal Carried]] by the Pig heroine), even though Chloé's nightmare was being attacked by her makeup and clothes.
* When the child tells Pigella what happened, the heroine's TranquilFury leads to Marigold thinking that Hawkmoth better hope Pigella ''never'' finds him.
* [[RunningGag Once more]], the heroes have to deal with a temporary hero ready to adopt their Kwami.
--> '''Rose:''' So what's your favorite color? Food? What about music --\\
'''Marigold:''' Stop stop '''''stop''''', this isn't an '''''adoption!'''''
* The idea of being allowed to ''scold'' Marinette mentally breaks [[YesMan Pollen]], who ends up [[HeroicBSOD losing consciousness]]:
-->'''Pollen:''' ''[muttering with BlankWhiteEyes]'' Scold... my Queen? ''[drifting off]'' Me scold... my Queen. Scold--\\
'''Plagg:''' ''[to Marinette]'' I think you broke her, Pigtails.
* Due to the Kwamis's attempt to contact Nooroo, Gabriel now knows how many Kwamis there are in Paris, which he soon [[EvilGloating gloats]] about. Unlike canon, however, Nooroo... [[MoodWhiplash isn't exactly worried]].
-->'''Gabriel:''' I'll find them all and their Miraculouses! Then I'll have unlimited power at my disposal! Then nothing will stop me! [[EvilLaugh Bwahahaha!]]\\
'''Nooroo:''' [[FirstPersonSmartass You haven't even managed to get the Miraculouses you're invested in, you flop.]]
** Zoe justifies this gag by claiming to have written that page before the end of Season 4. She also points out that technically, Felix was the one who obtained all the Miraculous, not Gabriel.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Reverser: Tales of Marc the Writer]]
* As is often the case, the chapter titles together form a HurricaneOfPuns, though this time, the author takes the novel approach of using pairs of words, with the first being a real word while the second is a pun on the first, containing a word sounds like the opposite of part of the first word. The resulting titles are: "Breakfast, Breakslow," "Cashew, Cashaw," "Fireworks, Waterworks," "Planet, Screwet," "Champagne, Champleasure," "Wardrobe, Peacedrobe," "Hot Dog, Cold Dog," "Cyclops, Walkops," "Ketchup, Ketchdown," "Internship, Leadership," "Tyrannosaurus, Electedsaurus," "Popsicle, Classical," "Smoothie, Roughie," "Parking, Parqueen," "Mango, Womango," "Pasteurized, Futurized," and "Radioactive, Radiolazy."
* As he heads up to the art room, Nathaniel laments how he's been looking for the person he danced with at Chloé's party for a while now with no luck... [[FailedASpotCheck right as Marinette spots Marc sitting beneath the stairs]].
-->'''Caption:''' You need to look '''DOWN''' Nat!
* Nathaniel turns out to have been making a lot of art about an evil Scarlet Lady.
-->'''Art Teacher:''' Why do you keep drawing [Scarlet Lady] as a villain?\\
'''Nathaniel:''' Artistic expression. I'm '''''expressing''''' how Marigold is '''''better''''' than her.
* When Chloé barges into the art classroom to present her "unique masterpiece," Alix (while imitating Chloé's overdramatic pose) immediately guesses that it's "''another'' collage of selfies." When it turns out she's right, everybody else begins to laugh.
** Also, the key word is ''another''. How many times has Chloé tried to do this?
** Chloé attempts to retaliate by mocking the others' work, first Juleka and Rose's songs (with Juleka reminding her that their band actually has a contract and Chloé helped XY when he tried to rip Kitty Section off) and Marinette's dresses (only for Marinette to smugly point out that Jagged Stone and Gabriel Agreste don't think the same... and that Chloé tried to rip her off ''twice'').
** Chloé turns to Marc... and stops mid-sentence because she doesn't know who they are, even though the two have met at least once. Marc still flees from the room in fright and even ScreamsLikeALittleGirl!
* The art teacher tries to come to Chloé's defense... and is promptly shut down by Alix.
-->'''Art Teacher:''' Well Alix, if Chloé really '''''did''''' have an art project, it's too bad we didn't give her a chance to tell us about it, isn't it?\\
'''Alix:''' Uh, no? Why would I want her here? [[DeadpanSnarker So she can come insult everyone, take over the art room, and try to steal ideas from us?]]\\
'''Art Teacher:''' ...\\
'''Alix:''' Yeah, that's what I thought.\\
'''Caption:''' Sounds like she'd be a GREAT contribution to the club, dude.\\
'''Tags:''' #she LITERALLY has a track record of art theft and sabotage Mr. Art Teacher!
* Marc drops a book which Marinette picks up, finding it's called... "[[InSpiteOfANail The Diary of Ladybug]]."
--> '''Marinette;''' [[DramaticIrony ... Who's that?]]\\
'''Caption:''' ''No one, no one at all.''
** Marc's story has Hawkmoth being helped by two people: Scarlet Queen (a villainous Scarlet Lady) and Antibug (a villainous Chloé), [[DramaticIrony both of whom would be the same person]].
* Marinette awkwardly muses that she doesn't know if it's brave or '''[[FearlessFool dumb]]''' to make a blatantly anti-Chloé and anti-Scarlet Lady story.
-->'''Tags:''' #in fairness to Marc they never [[PlausibleDeniability SAID]] it was Chloe...just heavily implied it
* When Marc proves reluctant to meet with Nathaniel and show him their writing.

'''Caption:''' A [[ComplexityAddiction Marinette]] plan? [[SarcasmMode I'm sure this will be simple and straight forward and won't have any multiple variables AT ALL.]]
** And, for irony's sake, it turns out the plan is pretty straightforward: Marinette gives the book to Nathaniel, tells him it's from a friend, and then asks if he wants to meet them. [[SpannerInTheWorks If only Chloé hadn't found out about it...]]
** Marinette and Adrien are later seen keeping watch from her terrace, happy to see that Marc and Nathaniel are getting along just fine... until they notice [[AlphaBitch Chloé]] marching towards them.

* When Nathaniel reads the book, he finds a scene in which Ladybug captures Scarlet Queen because the villain was too preoccupied with [[RunningGag her hair]] to put up a fight.
** In the scene, Scarlet Queen sacrifices Antibug so she could get away. In other words, it has Chloé using herself as a HumanShield.
--->'''Nathaniel:''' ''[reading]'' "I'm sure Antibug would've done the same to Scarlet Queen if she could."
** The following ImagineSpot has Antibug with some comical OcularGushers as she's tied up by the heroes.
* Chloé overhears Alix and Nathaniel discussing his new "Scarlet Queen" drawings and [[DramaticallyMissingThePoint thinks the latter has "properly glorified [her] other self."]] She decides to have a look at his drawings on the school blog. Cue DistantReactionShot.
-->'''Chloé:''' ''[seeing the sketches]'' '''''WHAT IS THIS?!'''''
* When Marinette suggests that Nathaniel meet with the book author, Nathaniel is all in... and has already deduced it's Marc.
-->'''Marinette:''' '''''[[SuddenlyShouting GOTTA GO, DON'T BE LATE, K?!]]'''''
* Marc gets akumatized (of course) because of Chloé and proceeds to attempt to use their powers on her. Then [[ByTheBookCop Officer Raincomprix]] shows up (while Chloé is slipping away from the chaos in the background).

* While under the influence of Reverser's powers, Mayor Bourgeois announces that instead of launching Paris's new space dumpster program, which involves storing the city's trash in orbital dumpsters, he will instead order the satellites to release all the trash back down to Paris and make it the world's biggest trash heap. Someone in the crowd asks [[InventionalWisdom why that is even a feature]].
* Marigold wonders how Scarlet Lady got even ''worse'' after getting hit by Reverser and becoming a whiny crybaby with no confidence who incessantly complains about how hopeless it is that they'll win.
* When Fu fakes a fall, Chat Noir realizes that he's the only one who technically can "help" the elderly man. To make matters worse, he has to climb up the stairs (thanks to Reverser, Chat Noir has lost his confidence in anything he does and is now nervous about heights).
** Master Fu/Jade Turtle reveals that he can't help out in the fight himself since he'll get backlash once the transformation goes away, which is why he snaps at Chat Noir to hurry.
** After detransforming, Fu is indeed hunched over and out of breath.
* When Chat Noir and Marigold convince Nathaniel to get to safety, Scarlet Lady cries about how no one's taking ''her'' to safety. Nathaniel also nervously asks if Chat Noir plans on taking him to the sewer.
* Chat Noir presents Nathaniel with a Miraculous... and then cries at the thought of Nathaniel refusing, which would mean Chat will have to fight the bad guy himself.
* As Marigold clumsily tries (and fails) to use Bee Balm, Scarlet mutters that what she's trying to do is "pointless, utterly pointless." WordOfGod also reveals that the bonus panel containing the scene was drawn only the day before in response to all the questions about [[StatingTheSimpleSolution why Marigold didn't just use Bee Balm]].
* When Ziggy explains the power of the Goat Miraculous, Nathaniel laments that being able to only create one item is a downgrade from his powers as Evillustrator. Ziggy gets annoyed at this and [[MyInstinctsAreShowing headbutts]] him while saying the limit is only because Nathaniel's a [[{{Pun}} "kid."]]
* The news report's headline calls Reverser an "evil oreo."
* Chat Noir's reaction when Marigold says she has a plan:
-->'''Chat Noir:''' [[ThisIsGonnaSuck Oh no, a]] '''''[[ThisIsGonnaSuck plan]].'''''\\
'''Marigold:''' There, there Kitty. It'll be okay.\\
''[[[GilliganCut The bonus panel shows a blindfolded Chat being carried across a roof by Caprikid]]].''\\
'''Chat Noir:''' This is so '''''not okay, Marigold!'''''
* The first panel on the next page says that meanwhile, Marigold and Scarlet Lady took a taxi to get to the Eiffel Tower.
* Scarlet Lady begrudgingly summons a Lucky Charm at Marigold's urging, saying that it probably won't help. [[TheCuckoolanderWasRight She's proven right a few minutes later]] when Caprikid and Chat Noir manage to stop Reverser without it, which the caption even points out.
* When Reverser asks why Chat Noir isn't with the two girls:
-->'''Marigold:''' You made him a coward, [[DidntThinkThisThrough what did you expect?!]]
* Caprikid drops Chat Noir in order to save Marc, who worriedly asks about the Cat hero's safety [[FunnyBackgroundEvent while Chat's screaming can be seen in the background behind the speech bubbles]].
-->'''Caprikid:''' Eh, [[BlatantLies he's probably fine]].\\
'''Marigold:''' '''''[[OhCrap Use the cure, Scarlet!]]'''''
* As Caprikid tries to reassure Marc that Nathaniel will want to know them better and almost calls them by their name, Chat Noir interrupts (clearly a bit salty over the whole "being dropped mid-air" thing).
-->'''Chat Noir:''' Hey, '''''Caprikid,''''' hate to cut you off but we [[{{Pun}} "goat"]] to go. ''[in a lower voice]'' Don't give too much away, '''"kid."'''
* To apologize to Ziggy for the "downgrade" comment, Nathaniel draws a picture of both Ziggy and Caprikid together. Ziggy says they'll keep the drawing with them forever... [[ImmediateSelfContradiction while they're eating the drawing]].
-->'''Nathaniel:''' '''''GAH! DON'T EAT IT!'''''\\
'''Caption:''' Ziggy's a [[ExtremeOmnigoat goat]], I don't know what you expected.
* The first issue of "The Diary of Ladybug" is dedicated to Marinette. Nathaniel and Marc offer to put her in the comic "... as Multimouse. Or Maotif, if you prefer." Marinette waves them off with a face that's almost BlueWithShock as [[ClingyJealousGirl Pollen]] nearly has a fit in her purse. "That's very thoughtful, but I'd rather not," says Marinette.

[[folder:Party Crasher: Tales of Wayhem the Fun Guy]]
* When Master Fu, posing as Adrien's tutor, arrives at Agreste Manor, he asks if Adrien minds asking The Gorilla to put him down.
* Nino completely supports Kim's idea to crash Adrien's place while Gabriel is gone and fails to understand why Max and Ivan are so uneasy about it.
-->'''Caption:''' This has bad idea written all over it, guys.
* To Nathalie, if driving Gabriel's hologram is any different from driving the real Gabriel around, it's because it's more peaceful.
* When the guys are discussing skipping on tree-planting with the girls, [[CrazyPrepared Nino pulls out cards with ready-made excuses to send]].
-->'''Ivan:''' [[LampshadeHanging Why do you already have these?]]
* After the girls read aloud the various excuses the guys sent, Lila is the one who points out how they're all BlatantLies, and she and Sabrina laugh about how unconvincing the excuses are. This is soon followed by collective FlatWhat from the rest of the girls, with Lila making a hilarious face when she realizes only she and Sabrina spotted the lies.
-->'''Caption:''' Of course ''Lila'' would clock a lie '''immediately'''.
* When the guys get to the Manor, they manage to [[TheGuardsMustBeCrazy convince The Gorilla to let them enter]] by [[EveryManHasHisPrice bribing him with action figures]]. The fact that the guys had those action figures at the ready strongly hints that [[NoodleIncident this isn't the first time one of them had to bribe Adrien's bodyguard]].
* When Adrien tries to get them to leave, [[NotSoAboveItAll Fu is fully on board with joining the guys' hangout]].
-->'''Caption:''' Fu hasn't been out in a long time.
* In order to determine whether Lila was right, Marinette makes a group call. The guys don't pick up--which Marinette uses to confirm they're together. When she turns to look at the girls, all of them (yes, even [[NiceGirl Rose and Mylène]]) are sporting {{Battle Aura}}s and CrossPoppingVeins.
* Nino tells Adrien Marinette can't come over to the party because it's "No Girls Allowed!" When Adrien (with teary eyes) asks ''[[ArmorPiercingQuestion why]]'', Nino opts to ChangeTheUncomfortableSubject.
* Max turns on the music so high it can be heard from outside. Cut to outside the Mansion, where all the visibly ticked-off girls are now standing:
-->'''Marinette:''' [[LampshadeHanging They're practically]] '''''[[TooDumbToLive broadcasting]]''''' [[TooDumbToLive that they're ditching work.]]
* When Max reveals that the manor's energy supply can compete with a nuclear power station...

'''Max:''' No, I don't think you understand how '''''not normal this is.'''''
-->'''Caption:''' (Look, Max should've had a way more concerned reaction to this discovery)
* When The Gorilla won't let Marinette in, she has a message that leaves the camera eyestalk with a SweatDrop:
-->'''Marinette:''' Oh? Not letting me in? [[SugaryMalice That's fine, that's fine.]] If you could just leave a message for the slackers from us girls: '''''[[TranquilFury "We're going to make you all eat dirt."]]'''''\\
'''Caption:''' Just remember, you guys started it.\\
'''Tags:''' #it's freakin' ON!
* Roger, Sabrina's father, arrive at the manor because of a noise complaint, followed soon after by Adrien's photographer, who is there for a photo shoot appointment. Both of them get drawn into the impromptu party that's forming: while the photographer decides the party is the perfect backdrop for the photos, Roger's reason is that he got distracted because [[SeriousBusiness the guys were playing]] ''[[SeriousBusiness foosball]]'' '''[[SeriousBusiness the wrong way.]]'''
** Meanwhile the girls are still stuck outside and both times expect the party to put to an end, only to be frustrated when it doesn't and the adult in question just joins the party instead. They then get ''more'' pissed when they still aren't let in, even as a ''freaking line'' starts forming for people to join the party.
** The caption points out to the girls that they shouldn't be surprised [[AdultsAreUseless that they can't rely on adults to fix things]].
* Marinette pointing out how ridiculous it is that the guys, many of whom are dating the girls in their group, will let in complete strangers into the party as long as they're not a girl. Cue all the girls [[EurekaMoment glancing her way]] as Marinette asks why they're looking at her like that, not realizing she just gave her friends an idea. Alya immediately tells Juleka to call her brother Luka while calling her best friend a genius, much to Marinette's confusion.
* Meanwhile the boys are inside and decide it's time to head out: cue Jagged Stone (in his helicopter no less!) arriving to join the party along with several others (among them the guy with the banana suit and M. Damocles in his "The Owl" costume). [[ComicallyMissingThePoint Kim is excited as he declares, "the more the merrier,"]] as the rest of the guys (sans Adrien) have a collective OhCrap reaction to the party crashers.
* Poor Marinette [[GotVolunteered gets volunteered]] for the girls' plan have one of them dress as a boy and infiltrate the party, which involves putting on baggy clothes borrowed from Juleka and Luka along with his helmet and a fake mustache. [[AtrociousAlias Presto! Marino, Luka's band mate from school!]]
** Luka's general demeanor along with the following line shows exactly why he went along with being their "guy on the inside":
--->'''[[TheGadfly Luka]]''': This is gonna be hilarious.\\
'''Tags:''' #lukas just here to watch this all burn and laugh
** Once Marinette gets inside, Lila encourages her to "fight like a girl," just like Lila taught her. Marinette proceeds to lay on the guilt '''thick''' (while the guys give hilarious OhCrap expressions in response).
--->'''Marinette:''' ''[to Marc and Nathaniel]'' Man, I'm so glad to be out of that '''''heat!''''' I'd hate to be stuck out there while it's so sweltering, '''''you know?'''''\\
''[to Max and Nino]'' What a party! It'll be a '''''miracle''''' if M. Agreste doesn't hear about it!\\
''[singing]'' [[Music/NakedEyes You made me promises, promises, knowing I'd believe~ Promises, promises, you knew you'd never keep~]]\\
'''Luka:''' Girls fight '''''hard.'''''
* Master Fu's opinion of Kim:
-->'''Master Fu:''' ''[thinking]'' Certainly this boy is big of heart (and dumb of ass).
* When Gabriel gets the electricity to his lair shut off, he demands, "What the [[SymbolSwearing $%&#]] is going on in here on this day?!" He then transforms into Hawkmoth to find someone in the party to akumatize and make them restore power, except...
-->'''Hawkmoth:''' I don't feel strong negative emotions... just the usual general anxiety... I can only feel... Joy and happiness?! '''''Disgustang!''''' ''(sic)''
** The captions note that [[GaveUpTooSoon had Hawkmoth searched a little farther outside the manor]], he would've found a whole gaggle of infuriated girls who'd be ripe for akumatization.
** Hawkmoth finally settles for akumatizing Wayhem, {{sweatdrop}}ing as he does so:
--->'''Hawkmoth:''' ''[[AbusiveParents Who cares if it's a grudge against my own son?!]] [[SkewedPriorities I need electricity dammit!]]''
* Ivan has an absolutely ''hilarious'' face as he spirals about how out of control the party's gotten.
* The adults at the party find the "[[https://miraculousladybug.fandom.com/wiki/Stationation Stationation]]" vinyl disc and realize they have all the men needed to sing it save for the Mustachio'd Biker... so they ask Marino to join (with [[NotSoAboveItAll M. D'Argencourt and Officer Raincomprix]] being the most insistent). Marinette gets rid of her disguise to stop them.
* When Party Crasher [[DepartmentOfRedundancyDepartment crashes the party]], Alya begins filming.
-->'''Mylène:''' Do... do we '''''call''''' someone?\\
'''Lila:''' Who do we call? The cops are at the party.\\
'''Caption:''' [[PoliceAreUseless They'd be useless anyway.]]
* After finding a place to hide, Fu has a comical look on his face as he wipes his forehead and remarks what a close call that was (he had brought all the Miraculous with him to the Agreste Manor).
* How does Ziggy greet Nathaniel when Fu has the Kwami bring their respective Miraculous to the temporary heroes already at the party? [[CallBack With a headbutt]].
* When Fu gives out other Miraculous to Marigold and Chat Noir, he admits that all the other options (the girls) are outside. It then cuts to the girls. The ones who were temporary heroes want to join in based on their facial expressions, but they can't leave the group without compromising their identities.
* True to form, when Xuppu comes out, he and Kim begin to insult and blow raspberries at each other. Then, when the time comes to return the Miraculous, they're at it again.
-->'''Chat Noir''': Thank God this is only temporary.
* Party Crasher complaining about all the temp heroes, pointing out that Hawkmoth only wants the ring and the earrings and to go get Scarlet Lady. This prompts the girls (who are ''still'' stuck outside) to wonder where she is, causing Lila to tell Sabrina to "go nag Chloé to get her lazy BFF over here."
** Sabrina manages to do exactly this, somehow getting past all the hotel security and into Chloé's room.
** There's also the fact that while everything has been going on, Chloé has been ''across the street'' and didn't notice '''anything'''.
* When Scarlet Lady shows up and berates the others for being unable to defeat an akuma on their own, Chat Noir loudly tells Viperion to use Second Chance for ''when'' she screws the plan up. Their deadpan expressions just sell it.
* Pegasus starts the music, and Scarlet Lady begins to dance with her "world-class training" (a comment that makes Foxtrot give her an absolutely hilarious deadpan glare)... only for Party Crasher to catch her insultingly easily. Viperion's sigh before activating Second Chance just sells it.
* Marigold ''cries'' at Stompp and Ivan being such a wholesome pair right when she has to take the Kwami back.
* The guys literally grovel while apologizing as the girls look down on them with a CollectiveDeathGlare.
** Kim "volunteers as tribute" to appease the girls, insisting that it was entirely ''his'' fault that the boys ditched the girls. Somebody notes that his delivery sounds almost as though he's ''bragging'' about that.
** The guys have a group hug as they all say they're sorry and admit it was all their faults that they ditched work and let the party get out of control. Marinette sarcastically reminds them that they were supposed to be apologizing to the girls.
* The guys are put to work on the tree-planting they originally committed themselves attempting to skip out on it, all while under the watchful eyes of the girls. However, the author realizes there's one little loose end she forgot to tie up...
-->'''Tags:''' [[WhatHappenedToTheMouse #wait I forgot about wayhem O.O;]]
* Marinette finally learns she was Master Fu's original pick for the Ladybug Miraculous when he casually brings it up. It turns out Fu forgot to tell her.

[[folder:Frozer: Tales of Philippe the Ice Skater]]
* The author repeatedly apologizes about the terrible art on the header.
* Like other episodes before, the titles are themed puns, this time around ice: "Be Chill My Beating Heart," "This Is Snow Joke," "All Hail Broke Loose," "Of Ice And Men," "Freeze The Day," "Cold As Ice," "Friends Or Froze?," "Chilled To Bits," "Ice Seeing You," "A Glacial Pace," "A Frigid Surface," "Freeze Things Happen," "All Dressed Up And Snowhere To Go," "Icy What You Did There," "A Cold Day In Hail," and "All Is Not Frost."
* When Chat Noir says he's 85% sure of Marigold's SecretIdentity, she complains... because she's only 75% sure. She then grumbles about losing the "game."
** Then he says he's so certain about it that he'll ask "her" out. While Marigold blushes, he teases her that she has to say yes since she's in love with him. Marigold hits him and calls him a smug dork with the most embarrassed look on her face while saying how he better say yes when ''she'' asks ''him''.
** The caption indicates Chat Noir is doing as a distraction from his problems:
--->'''Caption:''' Tease your way into forgetting your problems U_U
* The author warns in the tags that Adrien and Marinette will both be holding on to the IdiotBall in this episode.
-->'''Tags:''' #full disclosure: this episode only happens because I made them kinda stupid
* Plagg asks Adrien what will happen if Marigold is wrong about his identity. Adrien replies that Marigold will then go out with some other guy... and then he realizes the implications of that. Meanwhile, Marinette has [[StrangeMindsThinkAlike the exact same realization dawn on her]]. The narration helpfully marks them as idiots.
** If you pay attention, you can just make out the hint of a smile and AsideGlance as Plagg asks this and realize he's setting Adrien up to follow that train of thought. It's implied Pollen may have done something similar, but while she would've done out of innocent naiveté, Plagg most likely did it just to mess with his kid.
** Adrien and Marinette later face each other and [[SpeakInUnison simultaneously ask the other out]].
--->'''Caption:''' Luckily they're idiots who are correct, so, good for you two.
** While [[ShipperOnDeck everyone else]] cheers them on... Chloé's horrified/jealous face is absolutely ''hilarious''.
* The duo agrees to a date next Friday and are both happy that they have a date... which is when [[StrangeMindsThinkAlike both of them]] realize it would be their first date ''ever''. Cue both running to beg their friends for ideas.
** Adrien first asks Alya and Nino, who reminisce about Marigold locking them together during "Animan." He then asks Ivan and Mylène, with the latter mentioning how she fell in love with Ivan after reading the lyrics he wrote before his second akumatization. Next, he asks Marc and Nathaniel, who mention bonding over their love of fanfiction... ''after'' Marc's akumatization. So Adrien then turns to...
--->'''Adrien:''' '''''Juleka, please have a love story that doesn't involve akumas!'''''\\
'''Juleka:''' '''''KYAH!'''''
*** Juleka promptly reveals that Rose was the one that handled the romance part (while leaving out how she herself was ObliviousToLove for most of it), so Adrien briefly considers asking '''his father'''.
*** Then Luka suggests an idea... and offers to be there if Adrien needs help. Juleka quickly sends a message to Rose:
---->'''Juleka:''' ''[texting]'' Rose, Luka's being a self sacrificing idiot again.
** Meanwhile, Marinette decides to ask Kim, and on the next page, he and Ondine remind her that they were both akumatized before they started dating.
--->'''Marinette:''' Why are all my friends like this?!
*** The fact that Marinette is so desperate for ideas that she thought to ask ''[[ObliviousToLove Kim]]'' for advice.
*** Marinette is so distraught she begs ''Kagami'' for help... even more so after learning that Luka's going to be there as well!
* Kagami eventually agrees to tag along, but she reminds Marinette that she needs to pick a place. Ondine suggests the ice rink since there shouldn't be many people there. [[ComicallyMissingThePoint Kim agrees it is a great idea and not only suggests he and Ondine go as well]], [[FromBadToWorse he sends a message inviting all the other couples in the class to go]]. Ondine's face as she sees Kim's screw-up is perfectly deadpan.
-->'''Caption:''' This is quickly turning into a couple's field trip.
** Kagami, too, has a completely flat look. Marinette, meanwhile, {{sweatdrop}}s as she awkwardly goes along with it.
--->'''Marinette:''' Uh, the more, the merrier, I guess?
** Alya's motivation for going? [[DatePeepers She wants to witness Marinette's first date with Adrien.]] Nino is fully on board.
--->'''Nino:''' As if we '''''weren't''''' going to follow them.
** Rose happily gushes about inviting Juleka ("Ju-Ju"), [[SpannerInTheWorks oblivious that Chloé is spying on her and heard everything]].
* Mayor Bourgeois declares the ice rink is being "turned into a gym for ma chére fille—[[VerbalBackspace uh, for Paris.]]" He then briefly agrees with Philippe that attendance seems to be going up when Kagami, Luka, Marinette, and Adrien arrive, only to quickly try to walk back his words again when Chloé yells at him.
* Philippe questions why Chloé [[CrazyPrepared came to the rink wearing a skating outfit under her coat]] when she's the one attempting to shut the place down.
-->'''Caption:''' You have to dress the part, DUH!
* As Marinette and Kagami are putting on their skates...
-->'''Marinette:''' Sorry you gave up your Friday to third-- uh, 13th wheel. Please don't force yourself to stay for my sake.\\
'''Kagami:''' I'll stay. I mostly agreed because I thought [[ItAmusedMe it'd be funny to watch]].\\
'''Marinette:''' Uhh, thanks?\\
'''Caption:''' I would've come fore the spectacle of it all as well, Kagami.
* Kim and Ondine are the first on the ice. [[EpicFail Kim slips three seconds later]]. Philippe then offers skate lessons to him, [[ComicallyMissingThePoint only for Kim to ask if he can turn the rink into a pool]].
* When Luka [[ShipSinking shoots down]] Alya's inquiry of if he and Kagami are a couple, stating that he's not her type, Alya asks what the other girl's type is. Kagami bluntly replies, "Girls."
* [[TemptingFate Marc and Nathaniel are psyching themselves up to impress the other]]... only for Chloé to do her thing and push them to the ground, causing them to land in a pile.
-->'''Philippe:''' [[InnocentlyInsensitive You look like you could use some skate lessons!]]\\
'''Nathaniel:''' ''[{{flipping the bird}} at Philippe]'' I think '''''you''''' could use a lesson in '''''tact.'''''
* [[{{Determinator}} Philippe continues to harass the teens to offer them skating lessons]], prompting Nino to tell Alya that now he knows why no one else comes to this ice rink.
* Marinette and Adrien stumble around, and Adrien comments that at least [[TemptingFate they are only in front of their friends, not professional athletes]]. Cue Luka holding Kagami in the ''Dirty Dancing'' pose. Moreover, when Marinette asks how Kagami is so good at a sport she doesn't care about, Adrien reveals Kagami learned to skate after watching ''Anime/RanmaOneHalf'''s Skating Arc--much to Kagami's ire, because she told him that in confidence. (That arc has characters which are described [[Characters/RanmaOneHalfMajorStoryArcCharacters here]].)
* When Nino trips, Kim asks why Nino is falling when he's supposed to be a good ice skater. It's all but said that Nino is just [[ObfuscatingStupidity faking being bad]] so he has an excuse to hold Alya tightly.
-->'''Tags:''' Marinette is unimpressed with your schemes Nino
* Mylène is [[TemptingFate almost convinced to join skating classes]]... until she sees Chloé getting chased by Luka and Kagami.
-->'''Kagami:''' '''''If you don't stop [[CutYourHeartOutWithASpoon I'll use these skates]] [[ImpliedDeathThreat more creatively!]]'''''
* When Philippe sees Adrien:
-->'''Philippe:''' Why was I wasting my time on these normies when '''''he''''' was here?!\\
'''Rose:''' [[ImStandingRightHere Um, we can still hear you.]]
* Philippe then proceeds to be a MomentKiller by interrupting Adrien and Marinette just as they were blushing and remarking on the ContrivedCoincidence of them asking the other out on the same day--ironically, doing the same thing Chloé always does. He literally knocks Marinette down in his rush to get to Adrien.
* While it also crosses into TearJerker, there's something funny about seeing Mayor Bourgeois with tears streaming down his face over Chloé [[UngratefulBitch barely even showing any appreciation]] over him getting the rink closed down like she wanted.
* When Frozer shows up, Chloé has [[WingdingEyes stars in her eyes]] as she excitedly exclaims, "Akuma! Perfect timing!" Meanwhile, Adrien tells Marinette to hide somewhere safe while he goes to find help. Marinette {{lampshades}} the fact that he's doing it when they pretty much know each other's secret identities.
* Why does Chloé have an ice magic-aroon?
-->'''Tag:''' how did Chloe get the magic-aroons? Marigold handed them over through gritted teeth. For the greater good.
* Scarlet Lady realizes something's going between the Cat and Bee heroes but [[ObliviousToLove fails to realize they're flirting with each other]], instead just [[DramaticallyMissingThePoint dismissing it as them acting weird]].

'''Marigold:''' ''[blushing]'' Why'd you call me princess?\\

'''Scarlet Lady:''' [[ComicallyMissingThePoint Cuz you have a tiara now, duuuuuuuh!]]\\
'''Chat Noir:''' ''[thinking]'' Bless up that she's slow.
* After Adrien endorses the rink, André realizes he won't be able to shut it down, but when Chloé states she doesn't care anymore, he gives a sigh of relief. Also, why doesn't Chloé care? Well, she just ruined Adrien and Marinette's date, there's no way they'll try again after that disaster! [[InstantlyProvenWrong Cue Adrien and Marinette lovingly embracing each other]] and Chloé's BigNo.

Pollen tries to diplomatically reply that life is full of surprises, though Marinette doesn't let up.

'''Sabrina: ''Please stop talking.'''''\\
'''Caption:''' Hey, at least he [=IS=] dancing.
* When Clara trips and Marinette quickly moves to help her, the singer decides to ask her to play Marigold--still rhyming, much to Marinette's shock. Marinette tries to duck out of it, but Adrien keeps trying to get her to do it.
--->'''Adrien:''' You'd make a purrfect Marigold, Marinette.\\
'''Marinette:''' ''[thinking] Is he trying to get me in trouble? [aloud]'' That's so nice of you! But I came with my friends to be extras. I don't want to leave them.\\
'''Alix:''' Loves us~\\
'''Rose:''' Awwww, Marinette!\\
'''Adrien:''' You can be Marigold '''''and''''' hang with your friends. C'moooooon.\\
'''Marinette:''' ''[thinking] He '''''is''''' trying to get me in trouble!''\\
'''Caption:''' ''[[DidntThinkThisThrough We're going to have SUCH a talk about this later!]]'' Wait, no we can't.
* Marinette's friends all hug her as they congratulate her for getting the part of Marigold and thus helping them secure roles as extras in the music video. None of them realize how uncomfortable Marinette is with all this.
* When Chloé shows up to the music video shoot wearing an exact replica of her Scarlet Lady costume, she gets a few comments about how [[DramaticIrony she looks nothing like the heroine]].
-->'''Tags:''' #[[YourCostumeNeedsWork 'she doesn't even LOOK like Scarlet Lady']] is my magnum opus lmao
* Clara flat-out tells Chloé that Scarlet Lady isn't featured in the video, so Chloé demands to know why they're excluding Scarlet Lady, [[IRejectYourReality THE Hero of Paris according to her]], from a video about the Heroes of Paris. Cue Lila sporting a BattleAura, ready to answer the question:
-->'''Lila:''' '''''FINALLY'''''... [[LargeHam My time has come!]]\\
'''Caption:''' Let's be real: if anyone was going to give Scar a Public Dressing Down, it was going to be Lila.
** Chloé makes some hilarious expressions throughout the whole exchange. She also asks why Lila has a list of the Ladybug heroine's failures already compiled on her phone.
** After Lila ''destroys'' the idea Scarlet Lady is a hero, Clara wonders if she's just that good at being a debater or a passionate hater... showing she also [[RhymesOnADime rhymes in her mind]].
** The crowd also echoes Lila's sentiment that Scarlet Lady is barely a hero at all, with someone from the crowd yelling, "Scarlet Lday ''sucks!''" The panel even labels it "Some Rando."
* Even after Chloé shows up wearing a Scarlet Lady costume without anybody suspecting she's the real deal, Marinette [[DramaticIrony remains worried]] about being exposed as Marigold. For the second time in the same episode, Pollen can't offer any real advice to her queen without outing the other heroes' identities. so the Kwami's response?
-->'''Pollen''': ''[AsideGlance]'' Hm, you think so? You'd be surprised.
* Clara Nightingale sees the costumed Adrien and Marinette interacting like the real Chat Noir and Marigold and [[EntertaininglyWrong thinks the two are just getting into character]]. She even praises them as [[DramaticIrony being perfect for the roles]].
* Of all stuff Mayor Bourgeois could have made up to prevent Clara from shooting her video, he went and chose [[ShoutOut "permit A38]] [[WesternAnimation/TheTwelveTasksOfAsterix as stipulated by circular B65."]]
** The author is quick to point out, in a follow-up post, that this reference is straight from dialog on the show. "So if anything, the '''show''' made the reference."
* When the temp heroines meet and try to hash out a plan to help Chat Noir and Marigold, Koki Marina asks the others if [[DramaticIrony they know about Kitty Section]]. Purple Tigress, Pigella, and Ultimutt quickly and cheerfully mention how much they love certain members of the group (read: Luka and their respective significant others).
* Naturally, Scarlet Lady is just happy that the "sidekicks" are keeping the akuma away from her. Sabrina and Lila filming her in the background with the most annoyed facial expressions sell it.
* Using Clara's weakness for music against her, the female team of new Miraculous heroes stage a girl band to trick Frightningale. She gets close to listen, against the advice of Hawkmoth.
-->'''Purple Tigress:''' ''[singing]'' I am a cat\\
Just hanging out\\
But in the night\\
I use my\\
CLOUT! ''[clobbers Frightningale]''
** When Frightningale gets distracted, [[FunnyBackgroundEvent You can see Marigold and Chat Noir nervously sneaking away to regroup]], as Frightningale was [[OffScreenMomentOfAwesome clearly giving them a hard time]].
** After Frightningale is knocked out, Scarlet Lady chooses that moment to show up, [[NiceJobBreakingItHero giving the akuma an opening to counter-attack]]. Koki Marina's Shell-ter barely just saves the Ladybug heroine in the nick of time. [[UngratefulBitch Guess how Scar responds?]]
--->'''Scarlet Lady''': Hey! [[DramaticallyMissingThePoint You stole my]] '''''[[DramaticallyMissingThePoint moment]]''''', '''''[[UngratefulBitch Turtle Head!]]'''''\\
'''[[DeadpanSnarker Koki Marina]]''': [[SarcasmMode And you're]] '''''[[SarcasmMode welcome.]]'''''\\
'''Caption''': [[WhatTheHellHero They almost had her, all on their own, yoooooou-!]]
* [[JumpScare Master Fu gives Chat Noir and Marigold a fright]] when [[StealthHiBye he just casually appears out of nowhere]] to give them the Mouse and Rooster Miraculous. Accepting them, the two alreadly have their wielders in mind... which presents an obstacle.
-->'''Chat Noir:''' [[ThisIsGonnaSuck Think we can separate them without them realizing we just gave their bestie magic jewelry?]]\\
'''Marigold:''' When two new heroes show up at the same time? Not a chance.
* When Chat Noir presents to the Rooster Miraculous to Lila, mentioning it grants the power of Pretension, Lila has a rather interesting reaction:
-->'''Lila:''' [[ComicallyMissingThePoint Did you just call me pretentious?]]\\
'''Caption:''' I-it has two meanings, Lila, I swear!
* Before Lila accepts the Rooster, she has just one question:
-->'''Lila:''' I don't have to take orders from Scarlet Lady, do I?\\
'''Chat Noir:''' Literally no one does.
* Fenice uses Sublimation to give herself the [[RhymesOnADime ability to always rhyme]]. Frightningale gets so annoyed at the fact that Fenice keeps on rhyming without getting tired that she [[ScrewThisImOuttaHere runs off]].
-->'''Frightningale:''' So annoying, give me a break! You're not who I'm after for goodness sake!
* Meanwhile, Scarlet Lady is annoyed at being stuck with Koki Marina in the latter's Shell-ter while Koki tries to calm herself down so she doesn't yell at Scar.
* After Lila returns the Miraculous, she asks if she could replace Scarlet Lady, but Orikko shoots that down.
-->'''Lila:''' With the Rooster able to have any power, don't you not '''''need''''' Scarlet Lady anymore?\\
'''Orikko:''' Sorry, but I can't grant the same power of another Kwami. [[CurseCutShort Tikki would beat my as--]]
** Then Lila tries to come up with a way to do that, wording it in different ways as Orikko keeps shutting her attempts down.
--->'''Narration''': I understand the struggle, Lila.
--->#We all wish we could replace [[HateSink Scarlet Lady]] Lila.
** A bemused Chat Noir eventually reminds the two that he needs to take Orikko back.

* Marigold fills Lila in but gets distracted:
-->'''Lila:''' Okay, but could you stop cleaning up my room?\\
'''Marigold:''' Only if you stop living like this.
* Nino wonders if Koki Marina is following him
* King Monkey and Pegasus talk about their Kwamis; King Monkey compares Xuppu to "an annoying little brother", which Pegasus gives his condolences for. However...
-->'''King Monkey:''' What do you mean? He's the worst and I '''''love''''' him.
* Minotaurox and Ultimutt questioning how theirs and the other hero's tools can be used as phones and wonders if they can also play music.
* Since Fenice and Comousiner know each other's identities, when they meet on patrol, they greet each other in an [[OverlyPolitePals overly polite way]], as if they'd never met before "Frightningale"... before bursting into laughter.
* Fenice's faces as she bemoans that she hasn't figured out how to replace Scarlet Lady with the Rooster's powers or even the limitations of her power, lamenting, "Ahhhh, my life is harder than everyoneee's!"
* Caprikid ended up being alone in the exercise. He barely has the time to say that he was fine being alone before [[UnexpectedCharacter Bunnyx]] shows up with spray paint to keep him company.
** The author later specified this is actually ''canon'' Bunnix, visiting this timeline [[https://zoe-oneesama.tumblr.com/post/731382047400181760/as-someone-who-loves-the-rabbit-miraculous-i-love because she was bored]]. She leaves Char Noir with so many questions because the Guardian ''never'' gives out the Rabbit Miraculous. All she says is that if they never met her before, then they're doing everything right.

[[folder:Malediktator: Tales of André the Mayor]]
* Zoé meets Chloé, and it isn't going well until Zoé [[AchievementsInIgnorance asks a question]].
-->'''Zoé:''' Who's Marigold?\\
'''Chloé:''' There's hope for you yet! [[BondingOverDislikes We might just get along.]]\\
'''André:''' Phew.
* As Chloé details everything she knows about having minions, Zoé bemusedly compares her to their mother. Chloé [[DramaticallyMissingThePoint takes it as a compliment]].
* As the principal introduces Zoé to her classmates, he tells them "Please obey, ''I mean'', give her a warm welcome."
* Upon trying to ask Adrien what Zoé is like, Adrien reveals that this is his first time learning about her as well, causing his friends to wonder how he somehow didn't know his childhood friend had a sister.
* Chloé shows the class a video of her and Scarlet Lady speaking (only ever showing one of them at a time of course) and [[ButHeSoundsHandsome praising each other]], and Alya calls her out for expecting them to buy that bull. Chloé replies it's the real Scarlet Lady... and it turns out Alya ''believes'' that. What she really meant was that Chloé ''and'' Scar are liars for claiming Scar cleans up after Chat Noir and Marigold's messes. Meanwhile, Zoé squints in confusion as she watches the video and tries to figure out what the hell is happening.
* Chloé demands to know why no one is showing Scarlet Lady any respect. Marinette replies that Lila explained it at Clara Nightingale's audition. Lila offers to explain it again.
-->'''Marinette:''' [[DeadpanSnarker Once was plenty, thanks.]]
* Chloé turns to Zoé for ComplimentFishing. Zoé asks who Scarlet Lady is, which causes Chloé to make a ''[[GoblinFace horrified]]'' face.
-->'''Caption:''' Easy come, easy go when it comes to Chloe's affection, Zoe.
* Chloé's self-absorption is such that she sees nothing wrong with interrupting a wedding her father is officiating and ''pushing the bride, groom, and guests out of her father's office''.
* André asks why Chloé wants Zoé to be banished from Paris.
-->'''Chloé:''' She came all the way to Paris and didn't even know who '''''Scarlet Lady''''' was! The lack of patriotism!\\
'''André:''' ...[[DisappointedByTheMotive That's it?]]
* Chloé decides to leave for New York with Audrey because her father being the mayor is (to her) useless, and Audrey at least won't disrespect her. André asks his wife if it's true, only for Audrey to yell, "Ugh, ''obviously''!"... right before it's revealed [[BaitAndSwitchComment she's been on the phone the entire time and was actually yelling at an intern on the other end of a call]]. In fact, [[CaptainOblivious she doesn't seem to have even realized her husband asking her a question, nor does she appear to notice Chloé dragging her into a helicopter]].
** When the two leave in helicopter, André is distraught... while Hawkmoth expresses surprise that the mayor didn't crack much earlier.
** [[FunnyBackgroundEvent The hotel staff can be seen waving goodbye at the chopper]].
** Tikki obviously questions Chloé on why she's going to New York when there's Hawkmoth to fight, and Chloé answers she'll return... once Paris ''begs'' for Scarlet Lady to come back.
* Like in canon, practically everyone rejoices when Chloé announces she's leaving Paris. The celebratory mood ends when Zoé asks what they're celebrating, reminding them that "''she's'' still here." The page's caption even reads, "Every party needs a pooper that's why they invited you~."
** There's some humor in that Chloé's so deluded that she actually thinks the school will be sad to see her go (or at least more envious that she gets to New York than relieved they won't have to endure her presence).
** Principal Damocles can be seen hugging a teacher while [[FormerFriendOfAlphaBitch Sabrina]] and Lila hug each other.
* When the helicopter lands, Audrey barks, "Claudette! This isn't my office!" It goes to show that Audrey is [[CaptainOblivious in her own world]] and that Chloé had zero chance of getting her to leave Paris before the fashion show, even if Malediktator didn't intervene.
* When Chloé sees her parents kissing, she reacts with an '''''[[ParentalSexualitySquick EW!]]'''''.
* Chloé's main worry after sneaking away to transform? [[SkewedPriorities That she's going to have to do it in a rank subway.]]
* A bonus panel shows Scarlet Lady upset at her father for having a tantrum when she has to figure out what to wear to the fashion show.
* Zoé gets her first taste of an average day in Paris. First, her stepfather, turned into an akuma, orders everyone to tear the school down, which they gleefully begin doing, and before she can ask Marinette or Adrien what the hell is going on, she notices that [[StealthHiBye the two of them have already vanished]].
* Malediktator makes Chat Noir behave like a cat, believing it'd become easy to take the latter's Miraculous. [[HoistByHisOwnPetard Instead, Chat Noir viciously hisses at Malediktator when the akuma gets close.]] A bonus panel later shows [[KindheartedCatLover Audrey wanting Chat Noir as a pet]], which Malediktator actually ''acquiesces'' to, at least for a short while.
-->'''Audrey:''' ''[playing with Chat Noir]'' Please, Malediktatorkins, can't we keep him just a little longer?\\
'''Malediktator:''' ''[sighing]'' Well, if it makes you happy.
* After Marigold saves her, Zoé kindly thanks her. Marigold, who saw Zoé acting like and defending her AlphaBitch sister earlier, is confused at the complete change in attitude and assumes that she's only being respectful to suck up to a superhero.
* When Scarlet Lady tries to blame Zoé for causing Malediktator, saying it's because Zoé didn't defned the heroine in class earlier, Zoé hits her RageBreakingPoint. The Ladybug heroine is caught quite off guard when Zoé mentions how ubiquitous superheroes are in New York and left at a loss for words when Zoé asks how the incident in the classroom has anything to do with André.
* Scarlet Lady, unlike Marigold, eagerly accepts Zoé's offer to help because she can't reveal that the supposed safe place "she took Chloé to" isn't actually real.
* Just like in canon, the Lucky Charm takes the form of a freaking ''rocket launcher''. Zoé nervously asks that the heroes not kill her stepdad, to which Marigold assures her that they don't use such violent methods. [[JerkassHasAPoint Scarlet Lady then has a flashback to all the times they defeated akumas by just throwing the Lucky Charm at them or using other violent methods (such as when Multimouse bit the Puppeteer)]].
-->'''Caption:''' [[{{Hypocrite}} Your track record says different.]]
* It disgusts both Chloé and Zoé seeing how their mother behaves under Malediktator's power.
-->'''Audrey:''' Aww, honeypie, we'll be so happy together! Come to mommy, Zoé!\\
'''Scarlet Lady:''' Disgusting.\\
'''Zoé:''' [[WeWantOurJerkBack Please turn Mom back to normal.]] She's creeping me out.\\
'''Malediktator: ''Never!'''''
* While under the influence of Malediktator's powers, Chat Noir has a CatSmile when he [[CatsLoveLaserPointers notices the laser pointer]] and pounces at one of the guards.
* After his deakumatization, Mayor Bourgeois is impressed that Zoé has already learned how to control her half-sister. Meanwhile, Audrey is only concerned about losing a whole day on her schedule.

[[folder:Style Queen: Tales of Audrey the Fashion Critic]]
* Gabriel's show is beginning, with people walking down the red carpet... and Marinette begins to have one of her catastrophe spirals while Pollen {{sweatdrop}}s:
-->'''Marinette:''' This is the ugliest hat in the world and I'm forcing Adrien to wear it and he'll resent me for the rest of his life, I have zero talent and everyone is about to find out--
* Pollen cheers Marinette up, and Marinette asks her Kwami when she became so wise.
-->'''Pollen:''' Through your guidance, I've learned when to be proactive and when to hold back, My Queen! [[IllNeverTellYouWhatImTellingYou I haven't even let slip that]] [[SayingTooMuch I know Chat Noir or Scarlet Lady's identities]]--\\
'''Marinette:''' '''''[[FlatWhat What?]]'''''\\
'''Pollen:''' '''[[OhCrap Oh no.]]''' Tikki's going to '''''end''''' me.
* The fashion spread offers gems such as [[BrickJoke Prince Ali with Rose and Juleka on his arms]], Lila acting like a supermodel while Ivan and Mylène look at her worriedly, [[LesYay Aurore posing next to Kagami]], and Ondine blushing as Clara Nightingale asks her if Gabriel made her dress (it was actually Marinette).
* As Audrey and Chloé make their way on the red carpet, they keep firing people--even those they have no business in firing.
** One of Audrey's demands was a ''marble red carpet''.
** Roger makes a WTF face as Audrey and Chloé "fire" him (since it's already been established that even Mayor Bourgeois doesn't have the authority to do that).
* Chloé brings a present for Audrey... who rejects it because the wrapping is "ridiculous, '''utterly''' ridiculous." Zoé then [[BatmanGambit tricks her mother]] into accepting the gift and sticks her tongue out while looking away.
--->'''Zoé:''' I'll take it then, Chloé. Since mom doesn't like "new" things.\\
'''Chloé:''' Huh?\\
'''Audrey:''' What'd you say?! I am the '''''discoverer''''' of new things! Give me that!\\
'''Chloé:''' Yay!\\
'''Zoé:''' ''[thinking]'' Sucker! You're welcome, Chloé.
* Marinette's surprise at how different Nathalie looks with her hair down.
* Adrien is in his dressing room, nervously feeling like a dork. Plagg is less than helpful by [[BrutalHonesty pointing out how he looks like one, too]]. Marinette then arrives to deliver the hat she made and rambles over how it's no good, even apologizing for forcing him to wear it. Adrien doesn't care, though, as seeing his girlfriend all dolled up instantly puts him at ease.
** Adrien models Marinette's hat, complimenting her on her skills and reassuring her that it looks great. He also points out that Gabriel, who has impossible standards, picked it himself. The two start slipping into full-tilt flirt mode when Nathalie needs to point out something:
---> '''Nathalie''': {{Ahem}}. [[GetARoom I am, in fact,]] [[MomentKiller still here children.]]
--->'''[=Adrien/Marinette=]''': ''[Embarrassed]'' Ah! Um...
