History Recap / MiraculousLadybugS03E09Miraculer

* FightingYourFriend: Chloé (as Queen Bee) grabs Miracular and tells Ladybug she's ticklish. When Miracular indignantly says she thought they were friends, Chloé shoots back that ''Sabrina'' is her friend, not Miracular.

* Troll: Lila clearly enjoys manipulating and messing with Chloé. She also manages to make her do an utterly ridiculous summoning dance and successfully convinces her that it worked.

* TheBadGuyWins: While the villains fail to steal any Miraculous, Chloe being told she won't be Queen Bee may have fulfilled their second goal of turning her against Ladybug.
* BatmanGambit: Gabriel tells Lila about Adrien's friendship with Chloe, trusting that Lila will get jealous and make an effort to sabotage Chloe, thereby making her mad enough to be vulnerable to akumatization.

* BothSidesHaveAPoint: While Ladybug makes a point that Chloe shouldn't be in the field due to everyone knowing she is Queen Bee, Chloe makes a point that Cat Noir wouldn't have any trouble dealing with Miraculer if he and Ladybug allowed her to become Queen Bee. Cat Noir acknowledges the latter.

* TheBusCameBack: Mayura returns, as well as the hero forms of Alya, Nino, ''and'' Chloe.

** Chloe, as she's done before in "Heroes Day Part 1: Catalyst" and "Stormy Weather 2" tries signaling Ladybug with her "Queen Bee" spotlight.
** The Ladybug and Cat Noir cosplay Chloe and Sabrina do in "Antibug" return.

** Chloe's butler tries to cheer her up with her teddy bear, from "Despair Bear".

* ComicallyMissingThePoint: Chloe responds to Mayura's question by pointing out that it was three questions.
* DayInTheLimelight: This episode focuses on Chloe, and her hopes of becoming Queen Bee again.
* DontYouDarePityMe: Marinette's attempt to reassure Chloe only maker angrier and more defensive.

* FaceHeelTurn: The whole episode is devoted to Hawk Moth and Mayura trying to get Chloe to pull one of these. They fail... for now.

* FunnyBackgroundEvent: Mayura fighting with Cat Noir as Miraculer and Chloe talk.

* HeroicWillpower: Chloe refuses to fall victim to Hawk Moth's akuma, tossing aside the photo it was possessing. Hawk Moth targets Sabrina, instead, since she's also vulnerable at the moment.

* HumiliationConga: Chloe is put through one after Lila claims to be better friends with Ladybug than she is. She is skipped over in the battle against a major villain (The Destroyer), gets passed over again after getting her hopes up about the lollipop monster, then is reduced to trying the completely bogus Ladybug [[MagicDance summoning dance]] that Lila told her about. When she confronts Lila later, Lila says that since Ladybug did show up that meant the dance worked.

* NewPowersAsThePlotDemands: Rena Rouge is able to disguise Ladybug to look and sound exactly like Chloe.

* OddNameOut: When trying to control her, Hawk Moth calls Chloé by her real name. It's not made clear whether this was because he was only planning to use the akuma to talk to Chloe and then recall it after getting Chloe on his side, or whether he had actually planned a villain-form and associated name for later.

* PoorCommunicationKills: Ladybug puts off telling Chloe her decision about Queen Bee, leaving Chloe to work herself up with false hopes and almost get akumatized, and Chloe then takes out her frustration on Sabrina and gets her akumatized.

* RealityEnsues: Chloe's identity being public knowledge once more proves a problem. Hawk Moth and Mayura plot around the fact that Chloe is Queen Bee while Ladybug, Cat Noir, & Master Fu decide allowing her to continue being a hero would be detrimental if Hawk Moth planned to use that information as a trap, both sides reasonably deducing what the other side is planning.
* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: Chloe gives one to Sabrina when the latter attempts to start their roleplay while she is depressed of Ladybug not coming to her once again.

'''Chloe''': Play?! With you?! Who are you, anyway? You don't have any powers, you're a nobody! I'm a superheroine, okay? I'm Queen Bee. You and I have nothing in common. Go away!

* TickleTorture: How is Miraculer defeated? Brief {{flashback}}s while playing with Chloe reveal Sabrina to be ticklish. The Lucky Charm turns out to be a feather-filled pillow, which Ladybug tears open and pulls out a feather while Rena Rouge, Carapace, and Queen Bee restrain Miraculer. The villain is then forced to shift Carapace's Shell-ter from her akumatized staff to protect her exposed armpits.

* VillainTakesAnInterest: Hawk Moth has taken an interest in Chloe for avoiding her akumatization.

** Ultimately what Hawk Moth and Mayura set out to do, they seem to have achieved. While Chloe rejects the idea, believing Ladybug will eventually need her, Ladybug tells Chloe she can no longer entrust her with the Bee Miraculous because of the threat that it places upon both Chloe and her family. This appears to have put a severe dent in Chloe's faith and admiration of Ladybug.
** What Caline Bustier almost achieved, Chloe, of all people, does: she '''rejects an akuma'''.

* WhatTheHellHero: Miraculer gives some chewing out towards Ladybug for not allowing Chloe to become Queen Bee.

* VillainRespect: Hawk Moth has taken an interest in Chloe for avoiding her akumatization.

** The exact same Lucky Charm {{BFS}} from "Antibug", "Sandboy" and "Chris Master" returns, summoned by Miraculer when she takes Ladybug's powers.

** Miraculer uses the same taunt as Nightmare Ladybug from "Sandboy" when fighting Cat Noir

** Miraculer uses the same taunt as Nightmare Ladybug from Sandboy when fighting Cat Noir

** The exact same Lucky Charm {{BFS}} from "Sandboy" and "Chris Master" returns, summoned by Miraculer when she takes Ladybug's powers.

* BattleDiscretionShot: Entire fight against Destroyer happens off-screen, all we get to see is Miraculous Ladybug effect afterwards.

* {{Hammerspace}}: Miraculer can make her tonfa disappear just by putting it behind he back.

** Cat Noir isn't killed by Cataclysm when he's hit by it courtesy of Miraculer, though it bruises his ribs and he has trouble walking around afterward. Although, the power may have been weakened either due to being stolen or being combined with an object.

* OffscreenMomentOfAwesome: Several of the people Timetagger sends back in time:
** A dark skinned woman gets sent back and a nearby historical poster gets a RaceLift.
** Jagged Stone is sent back and his face is now on a poster for a historical music festival.
** M. Ramier (aka Mr. Pigeon) is the first to be sent back and immediately a statue of him appears honoring the brave knight Sir Pigeon. Notably among all these examples is that this statue ''didn't exist'' before Ramier was sent back in time, meaning it appeared from nothing rather than being an existing thing that was altered. Apparently Sir Pigeon made quite the impression in the past.

** After finding out what being Cataclysmed feels like, Plagg says he'll never call the dinosaurs a bunch of wusses ever again, a reference to "Style Queen", where it was mentioned that Plagg accidentally caused their extinction through reckless Cataclym use.

* NoSell: Chloé manages to reject Hawk Moth's akuma, the first person to be shown.

** Cat Noir isn't killed by Cataclysm when he's hit by it courtesy of Miraculer, though it bruises his ribs and he has trouble walking around afterward.

* NewPowersAsThePlotDemands: Rena Rouge is able to disguise Ladybug to look and sound exactly like Chlo.

* PoorCommunicationKills: Ladybug puts off telling Chloe her decision about Quien Bee, leaving Chloe to work herself up with false hopes and almost get akumatized, and Chloe then takes out her frustration on Sabrina and gets her akumatized.

* NewPowersAsThePlotDemands: Rena Rouge is able to disguise Ladybug to look exactly like Chloe, which shouldn't be possible with her usual Mirage because it can't intersect with a physical object without being dispelled. She also somehow makes Ladybug sound like Chloe (unless Chloe is throwing her voice).
