* LaserGuidedKarma: PlayedForDrama with Chloé; after callously dismissing Sentiwasp's life, she discovers that Hawkmoth saw absolutely nothing wrong with endangering ''her'' by giving her the broken Peacock Pin. This callousness also seals Hawkmoth's fate in turn by demonstrating beyond any shadow of a doubt that he's BeyondRedemption.



* PlotParallel: Much like Kim in the previous episode, Fox Trot gets akumatized after he's unable to prevent his girlfriend's akumatization. In a further narrative parallel, Dark Cupid ''immediately'' stops fighting the instant Ondine shows up, the same way Fox Trot stops fighting the moment Koki Marina becomes Bombshell.

All of a sudden, Blue Blood coughs blood. A ''lot'' of blood. Entering shock, she barely realizes what's going on, beyond the heroes' horrified reaction (particularly Vesperia) as she collapses on the ground, while Catalyst suddenly appears and apologizes for her state, as she was unable to talk Hawkmoth out of giving the Peacock to Chloé...

Now that it's five on three, the odds swing back in the heroes' favor, especially after Chat Noir and Ladybug pull a bracelet off of Hawkmoth's wrist. When Ladybug orders him to "Back off!", it's ''Queen Wasp'' who cheerfully responds, causing Ladybug to recall Master Fu's lessons about sentimonsters and amoks. With a snap of her fingers, Blue Blood dismisses her counterpart, laughing in the face of everyone's horror: "What's wrong with disposing of ''useless'' tools?!"

As it turns out, Queen Wasp is actually a ''Sentimonster'' created by Blue Blood, the result of Chloé using the Peacock Miraculous: Blue Blood boasts that it's three versus two. In spite of Ladybug mockingly pointing out that two of the three are still ''Chloé'' (and with Catalyst sitting out the fight), the heroes get beaten down by the villains, who seem poised to finally steal the Miraculouses... until Hawkmoth gets hit by a green shield, heralding the return of Fox Trot, Koki Marina, and Vesperia to the battlefield.

All the while, Fu is quickly delivering the other Miraculouses to the temporary heroes, now that they are free...



* BaitAndSwitch: The scene where Hawkmoth meets Chloé in [[Recap/ScarletLadyS5E13Catalyst the previous episode]] implied he was going to give her an Akuma - only to turn out that he actually gave her the Peacock Miraculous]].
* BigDamnHeroes: Just after the villains manage to beat the heroes into the ground, Koki Marina, Fox Trot, and Vesperia return to the battlefield in order to turn the odds against the villains.

Back at the blockade, the effects of this are immediately obvious, as all of the mass-akumatization victims who hadn't already been cured revert back to normal, disoriented and confused. But not ''everybody'' has been restored -- not completely, anyway. Mayor André, Audrey and their butler are no longer in their akumatized forms, but are simply standing around with blank, yellow-tinged eyes, while Vesperia desperately asks "What's going on?!"

Ladybug summons Lucky Charm, which takes the form of a jewelry box. Chat Noir and Ladybug declare it is a sign that soon Hawkmoth's Miraculous will end in the box. Queen Wasp states her certainty that it means the heroes will return "her" Miraculous to her, but Ladybug replies by telling her that she can still do the right thing and help the heroes stop Hawkmoth. Mid-speech, though, Ladybug sees Hawkmoth in the reflection of the box cap, and warns Chat Noir to look out.
