History Recap / MiraculousLadybugS03E17StormyWeather2

* IdiotBall: Chloé carries a big one in this episode when she taunts Aurore about her Akumatization. Even ignoring the fact that about 90% of the cast ''including Chloé herself'' have all been Akumatized at one point or another, as a Miraculous holder she should probably know better than to pointlessly antagonize people at risk of it. AesopAmnesia or StatusQuoIsGod seems to be in effect here, considering this very episode flashes back to her more nuanced and heroic portrayal in the previous season.

* DoNotTauntCthulhu: When confronted with Stormy Weather, Chlo&eacute smugly proclaims she was right about Aurore. Stormy Weather responds by freezing her and Sabrina alive, possibly killing both until Ladybug uses her WorldHealingWave.

* IgnoredEpiphany: Hawk Moth briefly wonders if his activities are becoming too risky, recalling the incident where Adrien leapt off a building in "Gorizilla". He then determines that he ''has'' to succeed and creates the MonsterOfTheWeek ''du jour''.

** IgnoredEpiphany: On the other hand, it's implied he did figure it out but just can't bring himself to believe it yet, partly due to his low self-esteem (how unloved he feels all the time due to his neglectful father), his remembering Marinette's emphatic denials that she likes him, Marinette's current note calling him [[JustFriends "your friend,"]], and his belief that she likes Luka (whom he remembers her going on a date with in "Frozer").

** Chloé's "Once a villain, always a villain" line turns out to be this, in light of the season finale.

** When Adrien compares Marinette's note to the unsigned Valentine he recieved, he notes how similar they are. He almost figures out that Marinette was the one who sent it, but then remembers her frequent denials of liking him ''that'' way.

* IronicEchoCut: Chloe claims "There's no one nicer than me" which is followed by a montage of her KickTheDog moments.

** IgnoredEpiphany: [[AlternativeCharacterInterpretation On the other hand]], it's implied he did figure it out but just can't bring himself to believe it yet, partly due to his low self-esteem (how unloved he feels all the time due to his neglectful father), his remembering Marinette's emphatic denials that she likes him, Marinette's current note calling him [[JustFriends "your friend,"]], and his belief that she likes Luka (whom he remembers her going on a date with in "Frozer").

Ladybug and Cat Noir once again face Stormy Weather. To stop her, the heroes will need to not get cold feet!

* Foreshadowing: Gabriel Agreste writes a letter to Ms. Tsurugi (Kagami's mother). Along with her appearance in "Backwarder" it seems big developments are being set up for her.

* Hypocrite: Chloé brings up Stormy Weather while mocking Aurore, even saying "once a villain, always a villain". Chloé herself has been akumatized ''three times'' into ''two different villains'', and is the instigator of countless more.

* BottleEpisode: An episode predominantly composed of flashbacks featuring a returning villain with no new powers and an off-screen resolution to the battle? This episode was definitely designed to save on the budget.

* ObliviousToLove: Adrien's obliviousness hits astonishing new levels when he notices that the note Marinette left on his textbook and the Valentine's Day card he received back in "Dark Cupid" have the same handwriting. He briefly considers that it could be from Marinette, but then remembers her ([[BlatantLies utterly unconvincing]]) explanation from "Toublemaker" of why her room is filled with posters of him and decides that she doesn't like him that way after all, so it must just be a coincidence that the handwriting looks similar.

* SelfFulfillingProphecy: Chloe mockingly warns Sabrina not to make Aurore mad or she'll turn into Stormy Weather and freeze them. To the surprise of no one (except Chloe) this is exactly what happens.
