At Miss Bustier's urging, Marinette arranges a party for [[BitchInSheepsClothing Lila]] and all of her classmates in order to make up for how tense things have been lately. But Lila has other plans, convincing most of their class to join her on a jaunt over to Versailles -- and naturally, Marinette and Chloe aren't invited. Once again, Adrien reminds Marinette that she's got to stick to 'the high road' and ride things out...
Unfortunately for Adrien, Hawkmoth has other plans. And Gabriel has ulterior motives for letting Lila take so many guests over to Versailles -- he's learned Ladybug's SecretIdentity and intends to strike while she's isolated and alone. But he dramatically underestimates just what his teenaged adversary is capable of... and in the aftermath, it's time for everyone to reap what they's sown for themselves, good and bad alike.
