* SmugSmiler: Gabriel with Adrien's reaction after announcing he's sending him to London at the end of the school year, knowing Adrien can't disobey him.

* EnemyMine: Cat Noir actually suggests this to Ladybug to just let Matagi Gozen take out Argos and save Kagami like she wants, meanwhile they'll have Argos at their mercy to punish him for screwing them over last season and take the Peacock Miraculous back. However Ladybug rejects the idea since working with someone under Monarch's influence in any way is a bad idea. And unknown to either, Tomoe is in league with Monarch and wants to take all three of their Miraculous anyway.
* EvilCannotComprehendGood: Gabriel thinks Marinette doesn’t really love Adrien and is just “under the spell of the world Gabriel’s created”, being starstruck by Adrien’s fame and good looks. The truth is that Marinette just loves Adrien for who he is.

-->'''Kagami:''' You are utterly incompetent at social relations.

* SlidingScaleOfIdealismVersusCynicism: Gabriel and Marinette's discussion takes a brief detour into their ideas on what fashion is; Marinette (the idealist) sees Fashion as a way to help others express themselves while Gabriel (the Cynic) sees the fashion industry as a machine that manufactures fads while giving "the illusion of choice", with him having a [[AGodAmI Godlike]] power to shape and mold everyone through his industry.

* SadisticChoice: Gabriel offers to help Marinette achieve her dreams as long as she gives up on being with Adrien, but warns that she won't have either if she rejects his offer. Marinette refuses to accept that as the only choice.

* SillyRabbitIdealismIsForKids: Gabriel rebuts Marinette's claim that fashion is about making people happy, explaining how he sells products by making people chase an unattainable ideal.

* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: Gabriel gives a brutal breakdown to Marinette by criticizing her lackluster aspirations as a fashion designer while declaring that she's unfit to be with someone as significant as his son. Marinette, after declaring her love to Adrien, leaves wile returning the favor by telling Gabriel that his pancakes suck for being made from an obsolete recipe and claiming that no one accepts his outdated beliefs anymore.

* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: Marinette's reaction after leaving the Argeste estate after giving Gabriel a [[ReasonYouSuckSpeech]] about his pancakes.

* TheStinger: Félix meets Kagami in private and gives her her family's ring, telling her that can decide her own fate as the two begin a relationship together.

* NiceJobBreakingItVillian: Intentional or not, Matagi Gozen nearly hitting Kagami with an attack makes her question her mother.

* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: Gabriel gives a brutal breakdown to Marinette by criticizing her lackluster aspirations as a fashion designer while declaring that she's unfit to be with someone as significant as his son. Marinette returns the favor by saying his pancakes suck and claiming that no one accepts his outdated beliefs anymore.

* JerkassHasAPoint: Gabriel does describe the fashion industry at least somewhat accurately during his rant to Marinette. It still doesn't work as a metaphor for human relations as he intended, but he's not a famous fashion designer for no reason.
* NeedleInAStackOfNeedles: Argos snaps his fan into several pieces and sticks a feather to a passing pigeon so his scent trail will be all over the place and impossible to track.

* SmugSmiler: Gabriel with Adrien's reaction after announcing he's sending him to London at the end of the school year.

* ScarilyCompetentTracker: Matagi's War Dorses[[labelnote:note]]Dog Horses[[/labelnote]] are able to find any person of interest. They even create a colored scent trail that leads them to their target(s). However, she ultimately falls victim to the same loophole that Ladybug and Cat Noir exploited against Safari; she can't track the civilian identities of her targets. Argos also takes advantage of the fact that she is specifically tracking his fan by breaking it and spreading the pieces to create false trails.

--> '''Marinette:''' I love you, Adrien! I won't abandon you ''ever!'' I'll always be there for you.

--> '''Kagami:''' You are utterly incompetent at social relations.

--> '''Félix:''' I feel like you and I… we're the same! We have so much in common and yet we're so different. I've never met someone like you.
--> ''(Later in the episode)''
--> '''Kagami:''' I'm nobody's prisoner. Félix is not your enemy, He's like me! He doesn't know how to express himself...Everyone is wrong about him! Including me.
--> ''(Kagami smiles at Félix as he returns the smile, touched that she came to his defense. This turn of events surprises and confuses Ladybug and Cat Noir.)''

* CallBack: Gabriel brings up his nephew's [[Recap/MiraculousLadybugS04E25RiskShadowMothsFinalAttackPart1 spy monocle]] from when he was snooping as usual. And Matagi Gozen uses it to track Félix in his civilian form.

* AnguishedDeclarationOfLove: Before being kicked out of the Agreste Mansion by a disapproving Gabriel, Marinette runs up to Adrien's room and proudly declares that she'll always love him no matter what.

* RightForTheWrongReasons: Cat Noir suggests just cooperating with Matagi Gozen to let her save Kagami since all of them see Argos as an enemy, but Ladybug rejects the idea thinking that cooperating with someone under Monarch's influence in any way could be dangerous. Unknown to Ladybug Matagi Gozen is working with Monarch willingly and is mostly using this an attempt to capture all three of their Miraculouses under the pretense of wanting to "save her daughter" meaning she almost certainly would have betrayed them afterwards.

* AndIMustScream: [[ImpliedTrope Implied]]. When Gabriel wants to talk to Marinette, he orders Adrien to go to his room. When Adrien is in his room, he is seen wanting to go back down but can't, as if some force is stopping him from doing so. Given the heavy implication that Adrien is in fact a sentimonster, it appears that Gabriel is abusing this power to keep Adrien in his room and not disobey him against his will, while Adrien is trying his hardest to resist. This is supported by the fact there is a shot of Gabriel's hand with his wedding ring on while giving the order to Adrien, said ring being where Adrien's amok is heavily implied to be in.

* TheSpeechless: After Kagami defends Félix, Ladybug and Cat Noir became speechless for a few seconds as they both don't know how to react with what just happened.
