* BrokenAesop: The episode pushes a lesson about honesty and integrity, with Marinette learning at the end that she should have told the truth from the start. A decent lesson, but it falls flat because the lie in question was her telling a six-year-old she was one of Santa's elves to keep him from digging through her personal possessions, when Alya used a similar white lie with a small child back in "Stormy Weather" and it was treated as the right thing to do.
