* AdaptationalJerkass: Downplayed for André the ice cream man, who appears to have more old-fashioned views about love and is less open-minded than his canon portrayal. He doesn't (or won't) recognize that Juleka and Rose are a couple, had a nervous breakdown when Alix revealed she's aromantic, and seems to neither support nor understand the idea of polyamory. In the show, while he's shown remarking that Marinette and Kagami as a pairing would be "unusual" through the description of their ice cream flavor, he was still fine with making it for them if they wanted it, and a flashback also shows him making ice cream for what appears to be a gay couple.

As Kim and Max arrive at school, Nino intercepts them, hesitantly starting to ask something about Alya. With a smile, Kim affirms that yes, she totally interrogated him; Max asks if she did the same to Nino. Marinette looks on curiously, then spots her bestie and greets her. What's she up to? Why, she's been busy talking to ''everyone'' who's met Scarlet Lady, gathering testimonies and writing so fiercely that her notepad is ''smoking''. All the inconsistencies are ''glaring'', and her quest for the truth is pushing her to do something she'd swore she'd never do again: ask Lila for another interview, so she can get the full story about why she despises Scarlet Lady so much.
Lila is ''delighted'', fawning over Alya while Nino requests that she switch off Ladyblog Mode by the time school lets out so they can hunt down André's ice cream cart. He invites Marinette to join, noting that Myléne and Ivan will also be with them; Marinette wonders if that would be awkward, given how they're all coupled up while she's still single. Adrien reveals that he's going too, reassuring her that it can be platonic. She then decides that since it's a friendly outing, they should invite Luka and Kagami as well, while Adrien inwardly cringes, noting that he did this to himself.
Spotting Rose and Juleka, Marinette asks if they're coming as well. Both decline, explaining that André never acknowledges them as a couple. Far as he's concerned, they're just "Gals being pals~", something both mock while Marinette hedges that he must have some ''antiquated'' ideas about love. Alix agrees, bragging that her being aroace gave him a full-fledged mental breakdown.
Spying on them, Chloé scoffs about Adrien's tastes going downhill; how could he settle for ''street'' ice cream. Tikki suggests having some at the hotel, but Chloé cuts her off -- street ice cream or no, she's still going to have that matchmaker ice cream with Adricheri.
Back at the manor, Nathalie casually informs Adrien that his father has forbidden him from going on, and that he'll be eating in his office. Adrien mock-gripes to Plagg about what a shame it is that ''Adrien'' isn't allowed out, having to practice piano and all that, while casually setting up his phone to play music in his stead while he slips out. Plagg sarcastically goads him to suit up already.
Kagami similarly makes a show of her 'mistake' when she meets up with the others; she told her mother that she was attending a strategy meeting for her fencing team, but it seems she was wrong~ Adrien scoffs, bragging that he snuck out behind his pére's back and that Gabriel thinks he's still back in his room. Kagami angrily concedes that he's bested her again while Nino questions why they've turned delinquency into a competition.
Luka asks Marinette whether she believes in "lovers' ice cream"; she admits that her father proposed to her mother with one, making it something special in their house. That said, she believes that "being in love forever" is something determined by her ''parents'', not by magic ice cream. Laughing, Luka notes that it'd be pretty weird not to believe in magic these days, given recent events.
André happily greets Myléne and Ivan as the soft and the strong; a princess and her knight, symbolized by chocolate, praline and white nougat. Alya and Nino are first timers, and he whips up a cone with lemon, banana and passionfruit. Then he turns to face his next customers and freezes; ''these four'' haven't paired off into obvious couples.
He asks Kagami for her name, which she dismisses as none of his concern; what concerns ''her'' is his lack of gloves. She points out how inconsiderate it is that he never posts his location himself, expecting potential customers to track him down, and how does he handle allergies? Not to mention -- André frantically cuts her off, offering her a Marigold-themed cone from his secret menu, which she happily accepts, declaring that she does believe in magic after all.
Next, he turns to Luka, who requests some ''platonic'' ice cream. André tells him not to be so coy, but is shocked when Luka admits that he doesn't believe in soulmates. Oh, he easily agrees with André's assertation that everybody has ''somebody'', but all relationships take time, investment and work, hence his desire to share with his friends. André protests that his ice cream can guide him towards his true love, comparing them to Luka's parents, only for Luka to reply "I don't '''have''' a papa," leaving the vendor frantically assembling a friendship ice cream.
Watching all this unfold, Alya notes that maybe they should just bring couples next time, while Mylé hopes that they don't wind up ''breaking'' André.
In sweeps Chloé, draping herself off Adrien and showering him with kisses as she declares that lovers' ice cream is ''perfect'' for the two of them. As Adrien struggles against her surprisingly strong grip, Chloé goads him to fork over the cone. But his vision isn't what either of them expected; as he hastily presents a strawberry-lemonade with chocolate chips and blueberry, Chloé incredulously asks if that's a ''Scarlet Lady'' cone. Adrien angrily rejects it, much to André's dismay -- and his day only gets worse when Wayhem pops up, forcing him to run for it.

Spying on them, Chloé scoffs about Adrien's tastes going downhill; how could he settle for ''street'' ice cream. Tikki suggests having some at the hotel, but Chloé cuts heroff -- street off--street ice cream or no, she's still going to have that matchmaker ice cream with Adricheri.
Back at the manor, Nathalie casually informs Adrien that his father has forbidden him from goingon, out and that he'll will be eating in his office. Adrien mock-gripes to Plagg about what a shame it is that ''Adrien'' (as opposed to Chat Noir) isn't allowed out, out due to having to practice piano and all that, all while casually setting up his phone to play music in his stead while as he slips prepares to slip out. An annoyed Plagg sarcastically goads him to suit up already.
Kagami similarly makes a show of her'mistake' "mistake" when she meets up with the others; she told her mother that she was attending a strategy meeting for her fencing team, but it seems she was wrong~ got the location wrong. Adrien scoffs, bragging that he snuck out behind his pére's back and that Gabriel thinks he's still back in his room. room playing piano. Kagami angrily concedes that he's bested her again while as Nino questions why they've turned delinquency into a competition.
Luka asks Marinette whether she believes in "lovers' ice cream"; she admits that her father proposed to her mother with one, making it something special in their house. That said, she believes that "being in love forever" issomething determined by more because it's her ''parents'', not by ''parents'' than due to magic ice cream. Laughing, Luka notes that it'd be pretty weird not to believe in magic these days, given recent events.
André happily greetsMyléne Mylène and Ivan as the soft and the strong; strong: a princess and her knight, symbolized by chocolate, praline praline, and white nougat. Alya and Nino are first timers, and he whips up a cone with lemon, banana banana, and passionfruit. passionfruit for them. Then he turns to face his next customers customers, Kagami, Adrien, Luka, and Marinette, and freezes; ''these four'' haven't paired off into obvious couples.
He asks Kagami for her name, which she dismisses as none of his concern; what concerns ''her'' is his lack of gloves. She also points out how inconsiderate it is that he never posts his location himself, expecting potential customers to track himdown, and down. Moreover, how does he handle allergies? Not to mention -- mention--
André frantically cuts her off, offering her a Marigold-themed cone from his secret menu, which she happily accepts, declaring that she does believe in magic after all.
Next, he turns to Luka, who requests some ''platonic'' ice cream. André tells him not to be socoy, coy but is shocked when Luka admits that he doesn't believe in soulmates. Oh, he easily agrees with André's assertation that everybody has ''somebody'', but all relationships take time, investment investment, and work, hence his desire for ice cream to share with his friends. André protests that his ice cream can guide him Luka towards his true love, comparing them to like Luka's parents, parents... only for Luka to reply reply, "I don't '''have''' ''have'' a papa," leaving the vendor to frantically assembling assemble a friendship ice cream.
Watching all this unfold, Alya notes that maybe they should just bring couples nexttime, time while Mylé Mylène hopes that they don't wind up ''breaking'' André.
In sweeps Chloé, draping herself off of Adrien and showering him with kisses as she declares that lovers' ice cream is ''perfect'' for the two of them. As Adrien struggles against her surprisingly strong grip, Chloé goadshim André to fork over the cone. But his the ice cream man's vision isn't what either of them expected; as he hastily presents a strawberry-lemonade with chocolate chips and blueberry, Chloé incredulously asks if that's a ''Scarlet Lady'' cone. Adrien angrily rejects it, much to André's dismay -- and dismay--and his day only gets worse when Wayhem pops up, forcing him to run for it.

Chloé spots Luka sharing some of his friendship ice cream with Marinette and asks him to share with ''her'', to which Luka responds "'''Lord''' no." Kagami intervenes, declaring that anyone who comes uninvited shouldn't impose themselves upon others. Luka thanks her for stepping in; Kagami says "That's what friends of friends do, yes?", only to be gently corrected; that's what ''friends'' do.
Finding herself properly ditched, Chloé complains to Tikki, who points out that she showed up completely uninvited ''again'' and warns that she needs to stop; this is only making Adrien hate her all the more. Chloé scoffs; how could he ''possibly'' hate her when they're soulmates? Tikki tries to explain that ice cream doesn't make them ''anything'', to no avail, as her holder decides that she should go see him ''right now''.
Meanwhile, Hawkmoth contacts André, addressing him as Glaciator and offering him a chance for revenge. Revenge against ''who'' takes him off-guard, as André declares that he'll freeze Adrien Agreste where he stands.
Up on her balcony, Marinette admits to Pollen that she can't stop thinking about Adrien's ice cream. While she admits that everybody deserves love, even Scarlet, it's clear that Adrien ''hates'' her. Pollen suggests that they misinterpreted, but before they can follow that line of thought any further, they spot Glaciator storming past, recognizing his voice as André's, with Pollen observing "Looks like he's not melting hearts anymore."
Scarlet Lady shows up at the manor, gloating about how she and Adrien are soulmates; Adrien angrily curses Chloé's name, frustrated that she spilled the beans to her 'bestie'. Glaciator announces his arrival, and the security windows slam down, cutting the startled Scarlet Lady out of Adrien's room. Duty calls, whether she wants to deal with it or not~
The trio meets up; Marigold explains that anyone struck by his power gets turned into ice cream, but he seems to be ignoring any couples. Scarlet Lady declares her disgust -- they have to '''beg''' her to pretend to be paired up with either of them. When only silence follows, she glances over to see that they've already left.
A quick peck on the cheek sells their story, and Chat Noir praises Marigold's acting skills, not picking up on her blushing. Glaciator is torn, unwilling to attack such a cute couple -- Marigold swiftly darts in and tags him with Venom, freezing him in place and leaving them to search for the akumatized object while Scarlet Lady lazily 'supervises'. After being purified, André gives the pair a crushing hug, grateful to have been saved by a couple of superlovers. Marigold laughs it off, but freezes when Chat Noir casually declares that she's just a good friend.
The next day, Marinette drops off a postcard from her Mémé for André, who happily greets her and gives her an ice cream, noting that she didn't get one of her own yesterday. He describes it as "Dark chocolate for his disguise, mint like his eyes, and peach for his lips" -- along with two small cookies that perch upon the mint in a way resembling cat ears. Heavily blushing, Marinette wonders if this represents who she ''thinks'' it does; André bluntly replies that he doesn't have a clue, insisting that the magic chooses the ice cream.
When Adrien arrives later, André greets him just as exuberantly; no hard feelings, it seems. Still, Adrien apologizes, admitting that the cone reminded him of somebody he... greatly dislikes. André asks him to join him in looking at it with fresh eyes, explaining each component as he puts it together: blueberry for her eyes, lemonade mixed with strawberry to signify her fresh influence and hidden potential... and a bonus scoop of blackberry on top for her hair.

!!Intermission 2 - Tales of André the Matchmaker
As Kim and Max arrive at school, Nino intercepts them, hesitantly starting to ask something about Alya. With a smile, Kim affirms that yes, she totally interrogated him; Max asks if she did the same to Nino. Marinette looks on curiously, then spots her bestie and greets her. What's she up to? Why, she's been busy talking to ''everyone'' who's met Scarlet Lady, gathering testimonies and writing so fiercely that her notepad is ''smoking''. All the inconsistencies are ''glaring'', and her quest for the truth is pushing her to do something she'd swore she'd never do again: ask Lila for another interview, so she can get the full story about why she despises Scarlet Lady so much.
Lila is ''delighted'', fawning over Alya while Nino requests that she switch off Ladyblog Mode by the time school lets out so they can hunt down André's ice cream cart. He invites Marinette to join, noting that Myléne and Ivan will also be with them; Marinette wonders if that would be awkward, given how they're all coupled up while she's still single. Adrien reveals that he's going too, reassuring her that it can be platonic. She then decides that since it's a friendly outing, they should invite Luka and Kagami as well, while Adrien inwardly cringes, noting that he did this to himself.
Spotting Rose and Juleka, Marinette asks if they're coming as well. Both decline, explaining that André never acknowledges them as a couple. Far as he's concerned, they're just "Gals being pals~", something both mock while Marinette hedges that he must have some ''antiquated'' ideas about love.

Adrien angrily rejects it, much to André's dismay -- and his day only gets worse when Wayhem pops up, forcing him to run for it.
Back at the manor, Nathalie checks in on Adrien, having seen a post online claiming he was outside. Adrien laughs it off, asking how that could possibly be true when he's clearly been here practicing the whole time. Nathalie lets it slide.
Chloé spots Luka sharing some of his friendship ice cream with Marinette and asks him to share with ''her'', to which Luka responds "'''Lord''' no." Kagami intervenes, declaring that anyone who comes uninvited shouldn't impose themselves upon others. Luka thanks her for stepping in; Kagami says "That's what friends of friends do, yes?", only to be gently corrected; that's what ''friends'' do.
Finding herself properly ditched, Chloé complains to Tikki, who points out that she showed up completely uninvited ''again'' and warns that she needs to stop; this is only making Adrien hate her all the more. Chloé scoffs; how could he ''possibly'' hate her when they're soulmates? Tikki tries to explain that ice cream doesn't make them ''anything'', to no avail, as her holder decides that she should go see him ''right now''.
Meanwhile, Hawkmoth contacts André, addressing him as Glaciator and offering him a chance for revenge. Revenge against ''who'' takes him off-guard, as André declares that he'll freeze Adrien Agreste where he stands.
Up on her balcony, Marinette admits to Pollen that she can't stop thinking about Adrien's ice cream. While she admits that everybody deserves love, even Scarlet, it's clear that Adrien ''hates'' her. Pollen suggests that they misinterpreted, but before they can follow that line of thought any further, they spot Glaciator storming past, recognizing his voice as André's, with Pollen observing "Looks like he's not melting hearts anymore."
Scarlet Lady shows up at the manor, gloating about how she and Adrien are soulmates; Adrien angrily curses Chloé's name, frustrated that she spilled the beans to her 'bestie'. Glaciator announces his arrival, and the security windows slam down, cutting the startled Scarlet Lady out of Adrien's room. Duty calls, whether she wants to deal with it or not~
The trio meets up; Marigold explains that anyone struck by his power gets turned into ice cream, but he seems to be ignoring any couples. Scarlet Lady declares her disgust -- they have to '''beg''' her to pretend to be paired up with either of them. When only silence follows, she glances over to see that they've already left.
A quick peck on the cheek sells their story, and Chat Noir praises Marigold's acting skills, not picking up on her blushing. Glaciator is torn, unwilling to attack such a cute couple -- Marigold swiftly darts in and tags him with Venom, freezing him in place and leaving them to search for the akumatized object while Scarlet Lady lazily 'supervises'. After being purified, André gives the pair a crushing hug, grateful to have been saved by a couple of superlovers. Marigold laughs it off, but freezes when Chat Noir casually declares that she's just a good friend.
The next day, Marinette drops off a postcard from her Mémé for André, who happily greets her and gives her an ice cream, noting that she didn't get one of her own yesterday. He describes it as "Dark chocolate for his disguise, mint like his eyes, and peach for his lips" -- along with two small cookies that perch upon the mint in a way resembling cat ears. Heavily blushing, Marinette wonders if this represents who she ''thinks'' it does; André bluntly replies that he doesn't have a clue, insisting that the magic chooses the ice cream.
When Adrien arrives later, André greets him just as exuberantly; no hard feelings, it seems. Still, Adrien apologizes, admitting that the cone reminded him of somebody he... greatly dislikes. André asks him to join him in looking at it with fresh eyes, explaining each component as he puts it together: blueberry for her eyes, lemonade mixed with strawberry to signify her fresh influence and hidden potential... and a bonus scoop of blackberry on top for her hair.
Adrien is spellbound; André asks if it reminds him of anyone, and he admits that it reminds him of ''two'' people, actually, catching the vendor completely off-guard.

Plagg sarcastically goads him to suit up already.
Kagami similarly makes a show of her 'mistake' when she meets up with the others; she told her mother that she was attending a strategy meeting for her fencing team, but it seems she was wrong~ Adrien scoffs, bragging that he snuck out behind his pére's back and that Gabriel thinks he's still back in his room. Kagami angrily concedes that he's bested her again while Nino questions why they've turned delinquency into a competition.
Luka asks Marinette whether she believes in "lovers' ice cream"; she admits that her father proposed to her mother with one, making it something special in their house. That said, she believes that "being in love forever" is something determined by her ''parents'', not by magic ice cream. Laughing, Luka notes that it'd be pretty weird not to believe in magic these days, given recent events.
André happily greets Myléne and Ivan as the soft and the strong; a princess and her knight, symbolized by chocolate, praline and white nougat. Alya and Nino are first timers, and he whips up a cone with lemon, banana and passionfruit. Then he turns to face his next customers and freezes; ''these four'' haven't paired off into obvious couples.
He asks Kagami for her name, which she dismisses as none of his concern; what concerns ''her'' is his lack of gloves. She points out how inconsiderate it is that he never posts his location himself, expecting potential customers to track him down, and how does he handle allergies? Not to mention -- André frantically cuts her off, offering her a Marigold-themed cone from his secret menu, which she happily accepts, declaring that she does believe in magic after all.
Next, he turns to Luka, who requests some ''platonic'' ice cream. André tells him not to be so coy, but is shocked when Luka admits that he doesn't believe in soulmates. Oh, he easily agrees with André's assertation that everybody has ''somebody'', but all relationships take time, investment and work, hence his desire to share with his friends. André protests that his ice cream can guide him towards his true love, comparing them to Luka's parents, only for Luka to reply "I don't '''have''' a papa," leaving the vendor frantically assembling a friendship ice cream.
Watching all this unfold, Alya notes that maybe they should just bring couples next time, while Mylé hopes that they don't wind up ''breaking'' André.
In sweeps Chloé, draping herself off Adrien and showering him with kisses as she declares that lovers' ice cream is ''perfect'' for the two of them. As Adrien struggles against her surprisingly strong grip, Chloé goads him to fork over the cone. But his vision isn't what either of them expected; as he hastily presents a strawberry-lemonade with chocolate chips and blueberry, Chloé incredulously asks if that's a ''Scarlet Lady'' cone. Adrien angrily rejects it, much to André's dismay -- and his day only gets worse when Wayhem pops up, forcing him to run for it.
Back at the manor, Nathalie checks in on Adrien, having seen a post online claiming he was outside. Adrien laughs it off, asking how that could possibly be true when he's clearly been here practicing the whole time. Nathalie lets it slide.
Chloé spots Luka sharing some of his friendship ice cream with Marinette and asks him to share with ''her'', to which Luka responds "'''Lord''' no." Kagami intervenes, declaring that anyone who comes uninvited shouldn't impose themselves upon others. Luka thanks her for stepping in; Kagami says "That's what friends of friends do, yes?", only to be gently corrected; that's what ''friends'' do.
Finding herself properly ditched, Chloé complains to Tikki, who points out that she showed up completely uninvited ''again'' and warns that she needs to stop; this is only making Adrien hate her all the more. Chloé scoffs; how could he ''possibly'' hate her when they're soulmates? Tikki tries to explain that ice cream doesn't make them ''anything'', to no avail, as her holder decides that she should go see him ''right now''.
Meanwhile, Hawkmoth contacts André, addressing him as Glaciator and offering him a chance for revenge. Revenge against ''who'' takes him off-guard, as André declares that he'll freeze Adrien Agreste where he stands.
Up on her balcony, Marinette admits to Pollen that she can't stop thinking about Adrien's ice cream. While she admits that everybody deserves love, even Scarlet, it's clear that Adrien ''hates'' her. Pollen suggests that they misinterpreted, but before they can follow that line of thought any further, they spot Glaciator storming past, recognizing his voice as André's, with Pollen observing "Looks like he's not melting hearts anymore."
Scarlet Lady shows up at the manor, gloating about how she and Adrien are soulmates; Adrien angrily curses Chloé's name, frustrated that she spilled the beans to her 'bestie'. Glaciator announces his arrival, and the security windows slam down, cutting the startled Scarlet Lady out of Adrien's room. Duty calls, whether she wants to deal with it or not~
The trio meets up; Marigold explains that anyone struck by his power gets turned into ice cream, but he seems to be ignoring any couples. Scarlet Lady declares her disgust -- they have to '''beg''' her to pretend to be paired up with either of them. When only silence follows, she glances over to see that they've already left.
A quick peck on the cheek sells their story, and Chat Noir praises Marigold's acting skills, not picking up on her blushing. Glaciator is torn, unwilling to attack such a cute couple -- Marigold swiftly darts in and tags him with Venom, freezing him in place and leaving them to search for the akumatized object while Scarlet Lady lazily 'supervises'. After being purified, André gives the pair a crushing hug, grateful to have been saved by a couple of superlovers. Marigold laughs it off, but freezes when Chat Noir casually declares that she's just a good friend.
The next day, Marinette drops off a postcard from her Mémé for André, who happily greets her and gives her an ice cream, noting that she didn't get one of her own yesterday. He describes it as "Dark chocolate for his disguise, mint like his eyes, and peach for his lips" -- along with two small cookies that perch upon the mint in a way resembling cat ears. Heavily blushing, Marinette wonders if this represents who she ''thinks'' it does; André bluntly replies that he doesn't have a clue, insisting that the magic chooses the ice cream.
When Adrien arrives later, André greets him just as exuberantly; no hard feelings, it seems. Still, Adrien apologizes, admitting that the cone reminded him of somebody he... greatly dislikes. André asks him to join him in looking at it with fresh eyes, explaining each component as he puts it together: blueberry for her eyes, lemonade mixed with strawberry to signify her fresh influence and hidden potential... and a bonus scoop of blackberry on top for her hair.
Adrien is spellbound; André asks if it reminds him of anyone, and he admits that it reminds him of ''two'' people, actually, catching the vendor completely off-guard.

* PoorCommunicationKills: Through the medium of magic ice cream, no less. Adrien rejects André's concoction for him due to it reminding him too much of Scarlet Lady (not helped one bit by Chloé's presence and loud proclaimation).
