History Recap / MiraculousLadybugS01E08Rogercop

* NotSoDifferentRemark: Marinette's father claims this is the case, stating that she accused all her friends of being thieves, just as Chloé did to her. However, as stated in BrokenAesop, this doesn't hold up.

* BrokenAesop: When Marinette agrees to let Chloé search her bag on the condition that she does the same to everyone else since EveryoneIsASuspect, her father shoots that idea down on the grounds by claiming that she is doing what Chloé is doing to her but towards all of her classmates. The hole in this logic is that unlike Chloé, who accused Marinette of stealing from her with no evidence to speak of beyond her own personal bias, Marinette only pitched her idea because everyone is equally likely to have stolen the bracelet and she refuses to be the only suspect to be searched. While it can still be argued to be a breach of everyone's privacy, Marinette's idea is still sound and is not the same.

* IncrediblyObviousBug: The tracking device that Rogercop attaches to the mayor's car is fairly small, but has a blinking light on it.

* PapaWolf: Mayor Bourgeois is having none of Rogercop's nonsense... until the Akumatised cop uses Chloé against him, anyway.
* PoliceAreUseless: The police just go along with a robot cop taking over the city, fighting Ladybug and Cat Noir on his orders.
* RageAgainstTheLegalSystem: Rogercop aims to arrest the Mayor for abuse of power and then usurp his position to claim total control of the city of Paris to ensure justice prevails. Admittedly, Roger was only fired rather than wrongly imprisoned, but the general idea of the trope still applies.

* ShapedLikeItself: Roger gripes that the mayor expecting him to break the law is "just criminal". Well, yes.

* PetTheDog: Plagg asks Adrien if he's okay after he learns that his father won't show up. The rest of the episode is a better example of how helpful he usually is.

* CallForward: Marinette's dad mentions that he could receive a request to bake [[Recap/MiraculousLadybugS01E04Timebreaker a cake in the shape of the Eiffel Tower]].

** The villain resembles Franchise/RoboCop with a hint of ComicBook/JudgeDredd. He even declares that he is the law, a nod to Dredd's CatchPhrase.

Parent's Career Day at Marinette's school gets interrupted after Plagg accidentally steals Chloe's new bracelet, and everyone is a suspect. After Officer Roger refuses to arrest Marinette without proof, Chloe's father fires him. Roger soon seeks revenge as akumatized Rogercop.

* BrokenAesop: When Marinette agrees to let Chloe search her bag on the condition that she does the same with everyone else since EveryoneIsASuspect, her father shoots that idea down on the grounds by claiming that she is doing what Chloe is doing to her but towards all of her classmates.
