* RealityEnsues: Because [[Recap/MiraculousLadybugS02E24CatalystHeroesDayPart1 Hawk Moth has done the "Catalyst/Scarlet Moth" gambit before]], some of the would-be victims of akumatization were able to keep themselves calm enough to avoid being akumatized because that was proven to having worked in the past.

* FailedASpotCheck: Alya seems to have absolutely no reaction to the fact that Lila's necklace (that she planted and accused Marinette of stealing) is a blatant replica of the Fox Miraculous. Given that she has wielded the Fox Miraculous on multiple occassions - and can be ridiculously thorough about superhero details regardless - this comes off as out of character.

* AdultsAreUseless: Neither Ms. Bustier nor Principal Damocles question Lila's lies, instead immediately believing that Marinette did everything she was accused of. Notably, when Lila claims that Marinette pushed her down the stairs, they not only believe her, but don't even bother to get her to a doctor, even though a fall down a flight of stairs should result in some nasty injuries.



* HarsherInHindsight: At the end of "Chameleon" Marinette dismissed Lila's threat and made it clear that she is not scared. Now Lila finally delivers on her threat, frames Marinette and gets her expelled. There is absolutely nothing Marinette can do about it as she is unable to prove anything.

* NeverTrustATitle: Due to the series' IdiosyncraticEpisodeNaming having the title of almost every episode refer to the episode's villain, this episode being titled "Ladybug" gives the impression that Marinette would serve as the villain. This plays into the above-mentioned BaitAndSwitch, as although Marinette is briefly akumatized, she is not the villain the title refers to. The ''actual'' Ladybug alluded to in the title is a sentimonster created by Mayura.

** While many of the characters act as GullibleLemmings and knee-jerk believe all of Lila's claims without suspicion, Marinette's HundredPercentAdorationRating ensures that [[OutOfCharacterAlert some of them are less likely to believe it]], a fraction of the people there being able to avoid getting akumatized.

* AmbiguousDisorder: Invoked by Lila at the end of the episode, stating she has a condition that causes her to lie compulsively and that this was why she accused Marinette of all of her wrong doings. Ironically, considering [[ConsummateLiar how often she lies]], [[MetaphoricallyTrue this might not actually count as a lie]] this time.



* {{Irony}}: At the end of the episode, Lila (on Adrien's request) "confesses" that she has a [[AmbiguousDisorder rare condition]] that causes her to lie compulsively and that's why she accused Marinette of the various crimes that had her expelled. Given that she is a ConsummateLiar, she's [[AccidentalTruth technically]] telling the truth [[MetaphoricallyTrue from a certain point of view]].



* NothingPersonal: Having no negative experience with Marinette (as far as he knows) and being fully aware that Lila is both a ConsummateLiar and TheSociopath, Gabriel pretends he believes Lila when she tells him that Marinette is a bad influence for Adrien [[BatmanGambit just to take advantage of the emotional fallout it creates]].
