History Recap / MiraculousLadybugS02E20StyleQueenQueensBattlePart1

[[caption-width-right:350:'' My power is only equaled by my sense of fashion '']]

* ArsonMurderAndJaywalking: Compared to the extinction of the dinosaurs and the disappearance of Atlantis, tilting the Leaning Tower of Pisa is not nearly as extreme.

* SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome: The BaitAndSwitch that Ladybug was going to give the Bee Miraculous to Chloé, when she instead tries to give it to Alya. Of course, Ladybug has little reason to trust Chloé with that kind of responsibility unlike with Alya (especially since Chloé has demonstrated that she is someone who wants to please her mother), and there's nothing stopping them from giving a different Miraculous to the same person.

* EvilIsPetty: Gabriel has Nathalie deliberately slight Audrey in petty ways so that she'll as furious as possible when he akumatizes her.

* BatmanGambit: Audrey's akumatization was planned by Gabriel from beginning.

* AdultFear: Hawk Moth is indeed horrified at Style Queen turning Adrien into a golden statue.

* EvilIsPetty: Gabriel has Natalie deliberately slight Audrey in petty ways so that she'll as furious as possible when he akumatizes her.

Audrey Bourgeois, famous fashion critic and Chloe's mother arrives in Paris for Gabriel Agreste's fashion show. But the spectacle gets a major interruption when Audrey gets Akumatized into Style Queen, and plots to get even with Gabriel for denying her a front row seat! And even after the battle's done, an unexpected event will unveil a huge surprise!

* AbusiveParents: Well, we don't see her actually physically harm her or anything (well, when not akumatized, at least) but Audrey can hardly be bothered to acknowledge Chloe's existence or ''remember her name.'' If she cares about her at all, no sign of it can be seen in this episode.
* AccidentalMisnaming: Audrey can never get Chloe's name right on the first try.

* BaitAndSwitch: The preview made it seem as if Ladybug was going to give the Bee Miraculous to Chloe... when it instead turns out that she was going to give it to Alya. It ends up not mattering anyway, since Style Queen incapacitates Alya and causes Ladybug to drop the box which Chloé finds and opens later at the end of the episode.

* LikeMotherLikeDaughter: If her behavior is anything to go by, Chloe gets most of her AlphaBitch tendencies from her mother. She is narcissistic, conceited, believes everyone and everything should cater to her and believes she has the authority to fire anybody (including people who don't even work for her).

* SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome: The BaitAndSwitch that Ladybug was going to give the Bee Miraculous to Chloe, when she instead tries to give it to Alya. Of course, Ladybug has little reason to trust Chloe with that kind of responsibility unlike with Alya (especially since Chloe has demonstrated that she is someone who wants to please her mother), and there's nothing stopping them from giving a different Miraculous to the same person.

* CallBack: Adrien models Marinette's hat from [[Recap/MiraculousLadybugS01E05MrPidgeon "Mr. Pigeon"]], where she won Gabriel's design contest. Marinette also replaces the hat's natural feather for an artificial one, as said episode also revealed Adrien's allergy to feathers.

* TenMinuteRetirement: A rare villain example; Style Queen's failure comes this close to causing Gabriel to throw in the towel as Hawk Moth.

* WhamEpisode:
** Kwamis do not require their masters to use their special ability. Masters do, however, focus and increase the kwami's effectiveness if Plagg is anything to go by.
** Gabriel keeps his (probably) still living yet unconscious wife in a special chamber, and he wants Ladybug and Cat's Miraculouses to heal/save her. Though, like his identity, his motivation was clear ''many'' episodes before it was spelled out.

* DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything: Seeing Adrien as a golden statue, laying on a golden coffin protected by a forcefield ight remind someone of a tomb shown in a mausoleum. And this situation also equivalent with DeadGuyOnDisplay as She make announcement that she will make his body completely disappear into glitter dust in the wind to every Parisian.

* TimeAbyss: We knew Kwamis were ancient before, but it turns out we didn't know the half of it: the extinction of the dinosaurs ''66 million years ago'' was Plagg's fault! Although he's [[ArtisticLicensePaleontology still described as only 5000 years old.]] [[labelnote: *]][[EpilepticTrees Perhaps the Cataclysm also caused radioactive decay]], so carbon dating assigned the fossils the wrong age?[[/labelnote]]

Audrey Bourgeois, famous fashion critic and Chloe's mother arrives in Paris for Gabriel Agreste's fashion show.

[[caption-width-right:350:You still don't get it, huh, fashion victim? ''I...'' AM INVINCIBLE! My power is only equalled by my sense of fashion. ''I...'' am invincible!]]

* TimeAbyss: We knew Kwamis were ancient before, but it turns out we didn't know the half of it: the extinction of the dinosaurs ''66 million years ago'' was Plagg's fault!

* PhysicalGod: It turns out that human partners are very necessary {{Power Limiter}}s for Kwamis. When Adrien uses Cataclysm, it destroys what he touches. When Plagg does it alone, it ''starts'' by wrecking the Eiffel Tower, and then [[spoiler: continues, creating a spreading wave of dark energy that causes ''anything'' in its path to begin to crumble, including large bridges and skyscrapers, and he sounds actually worried when telling Ladybug she needed to fix everything ''fast.'' The cracking continues even ahead of the wave; no knowing where or ''if'' it would ever stop. When you see the power unleashed by ''lightly tapping the floor'' with his Cataclysm, you'll have no problem believing that yes, he ''did'' singlehandedly wipe out the dinosaurs. Naturally, this would mean that the other Kwamis' powers are similarly world-changing in their raw form.]]
