History Recap / MiraculousLadybugS01E01StormyWeather

* KryptoniteFactor: Cat Noir can see in the dark (thanks to his night vision), but Ladybug cannot.

** None of the usual recurring characters like Tom and Sabine, Nino, the rest of Ms. Bustier's class, Gabriel Agreste (unless you count Hawk Moth's appearances) or Nathalie appear at all.

** None of the usual recurring characters like Tom and Sabine, Nino, the rest of Ms. Bustier's class, Gabriel Agreste or Nathalie appear at all.

** The mechanics of how the akumas work seems to be a bit different here. The akuma causes the elevator's power to fail to trap her before forcing itself through the shut door and into the umbrella while Aurore notices it and frantically tries to keep it away. In later episodes akuma do not have any ability to influence the environment or force their way to victims at all, and have to usually approach unnoticed to get into an object and things like doors and other objects can and will be able to block them and they will be avoided in some cases. In addition Hawkmoth seems to influence some kind of mind control over Aurore as he seems to convince her that she's been slighted and to seek revenge and Aurore just repeats what he says word for word until she's turned into Stormy Weather. Later episodes would never show him having this kind of direct influence in his victims again, and while he can be very persuasive people can and will reject him if they truly don't want to be akumatized.

* SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome: Aurore loses the weather girl vote and turns into a supervillain to exact revenge. After being calmed down, the heroes just leave her behind. Unlike similar competitions in other works, there is nothing to suggest the contest was rigged against her, and thus not much more the duo can do, beyond making sure she’s okay.

** Some of the StockFootage scenes (like Cat Noir's Cataclysm and Ladybug catching the Akuma) have a different associated dub than in the other episodes.

** None of the usual recurring characters like Tom and Sabine, Nino, the rest of Ms. Bustier's class, Gabriel Agreste or Natalie appear at all.

* ThemeMusicPowerUp: After Ladybug does her SherlockScan and enacts her plan, Chat Noir's theme plays while he [[DrawAggro grabs Stormy Weather's attention]] and Cataclysms the billboard over her, leading smoothly into Ladybug's theme as she constructs her improvised pulley and knocks the umbrella out of Stormy Weather's hand.

** It's established that Cat noir sees in the dark, but [[ForgotAboutHisPowers he does not use that power later]].

** In the French dub at least, some of the StockFootage scenes (like Cat Noir's Cataclysm and Ladybug catching the Akuma) have a different associated dub than in the other episodes.
