* ''Losing Favor'' marks the moment that Alya is no longer able to deny that she backed a BitchInSheepsClothing. Her reputation is completely in the toilet by this point, and the Ladyblog isn't doing much better... and neither are Lila or Adrien, now that she's been [[LiarRevealed exposed as a liar]] and everyone knows that Adrien already knew and [[BetrayalByInaction said nothing]]. Yet rather than sticking together, Lila makes clear to Adrien (and an eavesdropping Alya) that she doesn't care about her one whit. As she puts it, "You don't just ''associate'' with people who won't help you get up in the ranks." And with how she's fallen from grace, Ayla no longer qualifies as ''useful'' anymore.

* During ''Blocked Connection'', we get a good look at Ivan's insecurities, as he mistakenly thinks that Ladybug is [[WeNeedADistraction leaving him as a distraction]] for Lady Wifi, rather than trusting him to carry the fight home. What's worse is that he doesn't blame her for it, figuring that out of the gathered heroes, he's simply the least valuable.

* The process of Nino's HeelRealization and [[MyGodWhatHaveIDone everything that follows it]] over the course of ''Lie Gone Wrong'', ''Two-for-One Deal'', ''Akuma Apology'' and ''Seat the Beat''. Once it becomes clear to him that [[LiarRevealed Lila is]] ''[[LiarRevealed absolutely]]'' a ConsummateLiar, he's horrified not just by the realization that they'd been manipulated into hurting Marinette, but by Alya insisting that '''Marinette''' is still in the wrong. This leads to him [[spoiler:breaking it off with Alya]].

** In essence, while Alya, Adrien and Lila all bring about their own LaserGuidedKarma through their own actions and [[NeverMyFault refusal to acknowledge]] [[ItsAllAboutMe that the feelings of others are valid]], Nino pays a high price for siding with his girlfriend... followed by [[spoiler:losing her ''and'' his best friend]] after he learns the truth. At least [[spoiler:Ladybug saves him from being akumatized for it]], and his willingness to admit his mistakes gives him a chance to repair his friendships with Marinette and other classmates, even if [[spoiler:he'll never be Carapace again]].

* The very fact that Alya and Marinette's friendship [[WeUsedToBeFriends is sundered]] by Alya deciding to put '[[TabloidMelodrama a big scoop]]' for her Ladyblog over being honest and respecting Ladybug's feelings. ''Class-y Opinions'' effectively shows her taking a sledgehammer to [[BrokenPedestal Marinette's regard]], arguing that Ladybug doesn't ''deserve'' to be treated with respect [[InsaneTrollLogic because she's in the public eye]].
** Alya proceeds to see ''herself'' as the injured party, believing that Ladybug betrayed her by [[StartMyOwn starting her own blog]] -- and that ''Marinette'' betrayed her by helping out. This exchange in ''Non-Apology'' makes clear that things won't improve between them anytime soon:
--->'''Alya:''' I can't be friends with someone who [[NeverMyFault won't apologize]] and [[PsychologicalProjection can't even see what she did]].\\
'''Marinette:''' I can't be friends with someone like that either. [[ArmorPiercingResponse So I guess we're not friends anymore]].
* While Trixx and Pollen don't seem particularly fazed by having new bearers in Luka and Kagami, ''Protecting Feelings'' shows that Wayzz is having a harder time adjusting. Having to leave Fu behind clearly hits him hard.
** In ''A Casual Encounter'', Ivan meets Fu while he's out [[TrademarkFavoriteFood shopping for tea]]. Though he's unaware of the old man's identity, Fu clearly draws comfort from seeing how Ivan is going out of his way to care for Wayzz, and gives him a box full of handmade tea. Wayzz nearly bursts into tears when he sees it, cradling one of the bags as he admits that "This is my favorite."

** ''Two-for-One Deal'' then lives up to its name as he learns that Adrien ''knew'' about Lila and didn't tell anyone because he didn't want to hurt Lila's feelings:
--->'''Nino:''' Hurt-- Hurt ''her?'' What about everyone else?! What about... What about ''me?''\\
'''Adrien:''' N-Nino--\\
'''Nino:''' Lila promised me so much! She ''lied'' about all of it so I'd think she's cool! And you... you ''let her?'' Man, ''I'm'' hurt! I'm hurt that I've been living in this messed up lie ever since Lila came back to school and my ''best friend'' didn't have my back!\\

* ''Self-Destruction'' is well-named, as Adrien reaches his lowest point -- and having to deal with his father coldly revealing that he was well aware of him sneaking out all the time and [[spoiler:giving him a replacement ring]] for the sake of maintaining a consistent image only drives him further down. Made all the worse by the strong implications that Gabriel [[spoiler:just realized that his son ''was'' Chat Noir, and gives him the ring so he can akumatize him]].
* In order to take down ''Catastrophe'', [[WeNeedADistraction a distraction is needed]], and [[spoiler:Neurofoxin]] comes up with one: [[spoiler:a ''Mirage'' of a white-cloaked Emilie Agreste]].
