!!Episode 13 - Reflekta - Tales of Juleka the Goth

* BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor: Chloé explicitly hopes that Juleka gets akumatized so she can fight her as Scarlet Lady. She gets her wish, alright... much to her dismay since that interferes with her attempt to get Marinette into serious trouble for messing with the class photos.

* DeadpanSnarker: Tikki drops one gem:
-->'''Chloé:''' ''[staring at Sabrina after she refused to help]'' What's with her?! Completely ridiculous.\\

* DidntSeeThatComing: Adrien was hoping that Plagg would bring the ring back to him after Reflekta went away. He didn't expect the Kwami to take the ring to ''Marinette''.

** Both Scarlet Lady and Maotif laugh when they see the transformed Chat Noir.

* CallBack:
** Chloé and Vincent still remember their encounter from "Stormy Weather".
** Sabrina refuses to help Chloé stop Marinette because the last time she did, it ended with her hand getting trapped in a box--which happened in "Darkblade".

* IRejectYourReality: Chloé decides not to join the second photo because she ''already'' has ''her'' photo with Adrien--the one where Adrien is seen roughly shoving her off of him in anger.

** Chat Noir distracts Reflekta by calling her "ComicBook/HarleyQuinn".

* SomethingOnlyTheyWouldSay: Adrien realizes Maotif is Marinette when the heroine mentions helping him deal with Akumas without powers.

Adrien quickly hides so the Lucky Charm won't reveal his real identity as Juleka recovers from akumatization. Maotif quickly greets the girl, introducing herself as just a temporary hero: when Juleka asks if she can take some photos for the ''Ladyblog'', Maotif agrees--and quickly brings Juleka in for a joint selfie, much to Juleka's shock. Marinette then takes off the ring and returns it to the hidden Adrien, who compliments Marinette while gently kissing her hand, causing her to blush with embarrassment.

** Chloé and Vincent still remember their encounter from "Stormy Weather."

* IRejectYourReality: Chloé decides not to join the second photo because she ''already'' has ''her'' photo with Adrien--the one where Adrien is seen roughly shoving her off of him.
* ItsAllAboutMe: Chloé complains about people making a big deal over Juleka when ''she's'' the one having a "crisis"--one that is little more than a temper tantrum.

* SomethingOnlyTheyWouldSay: Adrien realizes Maotif is Marinette when the heroine mentions helping him deal with akumas without powers.

* ActuallyPrettyFunny: When Adrien calls Chloé's "crisis" an oversized temper tantrum, Sabrina is clearly {{corpsing}} in the background while Nino is snorting off-panel.

* BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor: Chloé explicitly hopes that Juleka gets akumatized so she can fight her as Scarlet Lady. She gets her wish, alright... much to her dismay, as that interferes with her attempt to get Marinette into serious trouble for messing with the class photos.

** As Chloé films Marinette sneaking into the Principal's office, Tikki laments that without her influence, Marinette is becoming a criminal.

* DramaticallyMissingThePoint: After getting increasingly frustrated by Chloé's misbehavior, Adrien hits his RageBreakingPoint and outright ''shoves'' her away right as the class photo is being taken. Despite this moment of rejection being immortalized on film, Chloé still views it as "her picture with Adrien" and proof of their bond.
* EngineeredHeroics: After trapping Juleka in the bathroom, Chloé gloatingly hopes that she gets akumatized, so she can be praised for humiliating her even more as Scarlet Lady.

* EveryoneHasStandards: When Rose confronts Reflekta and begs her to stop, the akuma doesn't do anything to her.

* LaserGuidedKarma: Sabrina's reputation with her classmates isn't the greatest due to how she's acted as Chloé's BetaBitch. But after she refuses to help Chloé sabotage Juleka, Rose subsequently steps in and protects her from Reflekta, pointing out that she didn't do anything to hurt her. Later, Alix convinces Sabrina to participate in the retake.
* MeaningfulEcho: When Chloé is literally crawling all over Juleka in an effort to force her out of the way, Adrien angrily asks if she has no shame, only for Chloé to look blankly at him and echo "Shame?" After Chloé ruins the class photo and nudges the Principal to focus on getting the other classes taken care of, Adrien fixes her with a DeathGlare and repeats "''Shaaaaaaame!''"

* ComicallyMissingThePoint: When Marinette points out that they would be able to get a retake if the first photo disappeared, Rose asks why the photo would disappear--not realizing Marinette intends to erase it personally.

* EngineeredHeroics: Chloé hopes that Juleka will be akumatized so she can deal with her as Scarlet Lady.

* ZergRush: Everyone tries to rush Reflekta when Maotif shows up. Reflekta manages to avoid them by flying away.

Collège Françoise Dupont is having their photograph day, and much to Adrien's pleasure, the man in charge is Vincent, his favorite photographer. When Adrien notes that he's looking forward to having photos with his friends, Nino quickly pulls him in to take a selfie. Meanwhile, Chloé is unhappy to see Vincent.

Rose tries to cheer Juleka: the girl believes herself to be cursed, because every time she tries to have a photo taken, something goes wrong - like that time with the pigeon, which Rose admits was a really bad one. However, Marinette encourages the goth girl to do it.

Vincent begins to organize everyone in rows for the photo: much to Chloé's displeasure, she's sent to the back row, away from Adrien, while she ignores how Adrien clearly doesn't want to be next to her. Vincent, however, is unmoved, still remembering her from the park photoshoot. While everyone else moves into place, Juleka remains apart - but most of the others encourage her to join the group for the photo, much to her joy.

Throwing a temper tantrum at not being allowed to sit with Adrien, Chloé attempts to push Juleka (who is sitting next to Adrien) out of the way, but with Marinette's encouragement, Juleka pushes back, and Adrien calls Chloé out on her entitlement. Unfortunately, this is enough to cause Vincent to run out of battery for his camera, and Juleka asks for permission to go to the bathroom. Chloé orders Sabrina to make sure Juleka doesn't come back, but for the first time, Sabrina tells her she won't do her dirty job, so Chloé does it herself - by blocking the door of the toilet Juleka's using, expecting the girl to be akumatized in the process.

Chloé forces her way next to Adrien and calls for the photo to be taken, even though Juleka is still away. Adrien snaps and pushes Chloé off him just as Vincent takes the photo, in spite of Marinette asking the photographer to wait. The students try to request a retake, but when Chloé points out that there are still several classes waiting, M. Damocles orders the next class to do their photo - something that Adrien is clearly angry about.

Rose frees Juleka and tries to tell her about the retake, but the goth girl is not willing to try again, thinking the curse is still on - something Rose complains about to Marinette and Alya. Marinette has an idea: if they manage to erase the first photo, then the photographer would have to retake the photo! Chloé hears this, and decides to stop her. Much to her surprise, though, Sabrina chooses to stay away - she's suffered enough from doing Chloé's bidding, and tells her to do her own work.

During lunch break, Marinette gets into the principal's office to retrieve the camera, while Chloé films everything. As students return, though, one of them is akumatized: Juleka has become Reflekta, and she makes her intentions clear: she will make it so everyone looks like her now. After hitting several people, she tries with Sabrina, but Rose dives to push her out of the way before begging Reflekta to stop attacking people who didn't hurt her. Reflekta says Rose is right... she should go after Chloé first!

When Adrien arrives, Rose tells him what happened, and Sabrina mentions how Chloé is trying to stop Marinette from erasing the photo. Adrien quickly sneaks away to transform into Chat Noir. When he finds Reflekta going to the principal's office (where Marinette and Chloé are) he calls her attention away, only to find her relentless in going after him. Taking the Ring off, Adrien asks Plagg to quickly take the Miraculous away before Reflekta finds him - transforming him before opening the closet, much to Hawkmoth's ire.

Chloé confronts Marinette with the video she just took of Marinette in M. Damocles' office, but Marinette (after palming the camera's SD card) threatens to erase the photo if Chloé doesn't hand over her phone. When Reflekta comes knocking, Chloé gets distracted, allowing Marinette to erase the incriminatory video and run away before Chloé can react. Reflekta attempts to attack Chloé, who unironically complains about an Akuma showing up ''now'' before transforming into Scarlet Lady.

Marinette watches as Reflekta tries to find Chloé, only to get shocked when a floating tiny cat-mouse speaks to her. The creature presents himself as Plagg, and gives her Chat Noir's Ring: as the normal holder is now compromised, Plagg hopes Marinette will be able to replace Chat Noir and return the Ring after the crisis passes. Putting on the Ring, Marinette sings out the magic words: "'''Plagg, Claws Out!'''"

Scarlet Lady confronts Reflekta, who's not very interested in witty banter - particularly when Scarlet Lady claims she's taken Chloé to safety. Reflekta attempts to turn her into a copy, but suddenly a new heroine - clad in the colors of the Black Cat, and armed with a baton - strikes Reflekta, much to everyone's shock, particularly Adrien's.

Reflekta's victims attempt to overwhelm the Akuma with numbers, but Reflekta flies away in order to find Chloé. Adrien shows to speak with the newcomer, who realizes he's Chat Noir, much to her hilarity. However, when Scarlet Lady mocks him further, the newcomer (who later christens herself "Maotif") defends him, as he's smart enough to deal with Akuma without using powers - she does it herself, after all. This allows Adrien to realize Maotif is Marinette.

While Reflekta goes to City Hall to ask the Mayor where Chloé is, Scarlet Lady sends a message through TV to request everyone to put on costumes, as part of Maotif's plan to lead Reflekta into a trap: when Reflekta arrives to the TV studio, using the Mayor as bait, Adrien turns off the lights, allowing Maotif to quickly deal with the Akuma.

Adrien quickly hides so the Lucky Charm won't reveal his real identity, as Juleka recovers from akumatization. Maotif quickly greets the girl, stating she's just a temporary hero: when Juleka asks if she can take some photos for the Ladyblog, Maotif agrees - and quickly brings Juleka in for a joint selfie, much to Juleka's shock. Marinette then takes off the ring and gives it to the hidden Adrien, who compliments Marinette while gently kissing her hand, causing her to become embarrassed.

Back with the class, Marinette gives the SD card to Vincent and (with Adrien's secret help) convinces him to take another photo of the class. Chloé chooses not to join them, as she already has the previous photo, but Alix convinces Sabrina to join the class, and finally they have their photo taken.

Rose congratulates Juleka on having her curse broken, while the latter thanks Adrien and Marinette for making it possible - before she jokes with Alya about having photos of Maotif. Adrien compliments Marinette, who thinks about being a superhero - while Fu watches from afar, clearly planning how to give her another Miraculous...

* ActuallyPrettyFunny: When Adrien calls Chloé's "crisis" an oversized temper tantrum, Sabrina is clearly {{corpsing}} in the background, while Nino is snorting off-panel.

While everyone else moves into place, Juleka remains apart - but most of the others encourage her to join the group for the photo, much to her joy.
