History Recap / MiraculousLadybugS03E26MiracleQueenBattleoftheMiraculousPart2

* KarmaHoudini: Despite teaming up with Hawk Moth and intentionally revealing all of the heroes' (except for Chat, Ladybug, and Bunnyx) identities, Chloé gets away scot-free with Ladybug simply taking the Bee Miraculous away from her.
* KarmaHoudiniWarranty: Chloé does get some egg on her face in the end when she loudly insults the whole city before declaring she'll leave for New York with her mother to never have to answer to Ladybug again and get the last laugh, only to find out that thanks to her parents' renewed affection that's no longer an option and she's now stuck in a city that likely hates her even more. Also, she permanently loses the Queen Bee position.

* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: No words, but the look on Ladybug's face after Chloé left her in a huff indicates that she blames herself for unable to stop the latter's FaceHeelTurn.

** Adrien likes the selfie that Marinette and Kagami made in "Ikari Gozen".

* BadBoss: Played with. When Chloé begs Hawk Moth to do something to help her after everything is done he simply sighs that she turned out to be an utter disappointment and flees with Mayura leaving her at Ladybug's mercy. In contrast he still rewarded Lila two episodes prior for the failed second Scarlet Moth plan likely because the problem was on his end and not hers. Where as Chloé had every advantage and still failed because of her own foolishness.

Where as Chloe had every advantage and still failed because of her own foolishness.
* BittersweetEnding: Although the stolen Miraculous aside from the Peacock and Butterfly are recovered, Hawk Moth walks off from this one with the secret identities of all of Ladybug and Cat Noir's allies save Bunnyx. Mayura also swipes Master Fu's tablet with the deciphered passages from the grimoire, allowing Hawk Moth to repair the Peacock Miraculous in addition to having access all the secrets the book contains. Chloe, who had been maturing thanks to her stint as a hero, has now regressed, bitterly cutting off all ties with Ladybug. Master Fu loses his memories and leaves Paris, but now he can be with Marianne.

** "Battle of the Miraculous" ends Chloe's career as Queen Bee the same way as "Queen's Battle" started it: with the akumatization of Chloe and her parents.

** As shown in "Backwarder" the spare Akuma Hawk Moth keeps in his cane shows up to re-evilize Chloe.

* EasilyForgiven: DownplayedTrope. While Ladybug does ''not'' forgive Chloe, the only thing Ladybug does to Chlo&eacute after her betrayal, leading to the other Miraculous holders having their identities exposed and almost handing a total victory to Hawk Moth, is to simply reclaim the Bee Miraculous and inform her that she will never use it again.

* HeelFaceRevolvingDoor: Chloe started the show as [[SitcomArchNemesis Marinette's petty rival]], then she [[TookALevelInKindness mellows a little]] (as much as she could be) in season 2 thanks to becoming a Miraculous holder, but unfortunate events in season 3 bring her back to square one, even worse than she was in season 1.

** Chloe joins Hawk Moth to keep being Queen Bee, but her betrayal means that she loses the position permanently.

* KarmaHoudiniWarranty: Chloe does get some egg on her face in the end when she loudly insults the whole city before declaring she'll leave for New York with her mother to never have to answer to Ladybug again and get the last laugh, only to find out that thanks to her parents' renewed affection that's no longer an option and she's now stuck in a city that likely hates her even more. Also, she permanently loses the Queen Bee position.
* LogicalWeakness: Inverted. Kwamis so far were easily used for evil against their will, but their powers still require a special phrase to activate them. Even in dubs where it's the same for every kwami (<Kwami's name>, transform me) you still need to know their names. Thus when Chloe seizes Miraculous Box, she can't force a single kwami to follow her orders.

** Subverted. After losing the Bee Miraculous for good, Chloe announces her intention to move to New York with her mother so as to never deal with Ladybug again. Unfortunately, Audrey's decision to stay in Paris means that option's out.
** Played straight with Hawk Moth fleeing with Mayura when it's clear that Chloe has become a disappointment to their scheme.

* SerialEscalation: Averted. Miracle Queen's army is way smaller that Scarlet Moth's from the previous season finale. Even Ladybug and Cat Noir being all alone and forced to take on brainwashed Miraculous holders happened before. Instead, the conflict focuses on Master Fu's fate and on Chloe's FaceHeelTurn.

** Chloe solidifies her FaceHeelTurn, loses the Queen Bee position permanently, and becomes Ladybug's enemy.

* EasilyForgiven: The only thing Ladybug does to Chloé after her betrayal, leading to the other Miraculous holders having their identities exposed and almost handing a total victory to Hawk Moth, is to simply reclaim the Bee Miraculous and implying to her that she will not use it again for a long time.

* HoistByHisOwnPetard: Miracle Queen's brainwashed heroes end up being her undoing. Dragon Bug and Cat Noir immediately target Viperion so Cat Noir can use Second Chance to their advantage, and King Monkey's Uproar disables Miracle Queen's power when they manipulate him into hitting her with it.

* ShootTheMageFirst: When Ladybug and Chat Noir face the other Miraculous holders, they intentionally target Viperion first because of his Second Chance.

* EvilIsPetty: Miracle Queen destroys Alya's glasses after learning she's one of the heroes. She also gloats over her brainwashed victims, especially Nino and Kagami and decides to make them her servants.

* RedemptionDemotion: The reverse actually. Queen Bee turned out to be quite effective as a heroine in previous episodes. As Miracle Queen she and her army of brainwashed heroes are rather easily defeated and she was actually more of a threat in both previous Akuma forms as Antibug and Queen Wasp then she was here. She actually got worse after turning villain.

* EvilIsPetty: Miracle Queen destroys Alya's glasses after learning she's one of the heroes. She also gloats over her brainwashed victims, especially Kagami.

* NothingIsTheSameAnymore: Master Fu formally relinquishes the Miracle Box to Ladybug as the new Guardian, which both erases his memories of being one and transforms the Miracle Box into a Ladybug themed container. All the current Miraculous holders that Marinette recruited have been unmasked, meaning they can't use the same ones again, if at all. Chloé doubles down on her HeelFaceTurn and leaves in a huff stating she's leaving Paris, only to find her parents more in love than they've ever been and wanting to stay. Nathalie manages to swipe Master Fu's tablet containing the translated passages of the Miraculous codex, which Gabriel is first shown using to restore the Peacock Miraculous meaning Mayura can show up more often at zero risk. On the civilian side both Marinette and Adrien, with some mild hesitation, have both decided for themselves to explore romantic opportunities with Luka and Kagami respectively.

* SerialEscalation: Averted. Miracle Queen's army is way smaller that Scarlet Moth's from previous season finale. Even Ladybug and Cat Noir being all alone and forced to take on brainwashed Miraculous holders happened before. Instead, the conflict focuses on Master Fu's fate and on Chloe's FaceHeelTurn.

* NewPowersAsThePlotDemands: The Dragon Miraculous' special power was previously established to be to transform its user into elements.

* {{Stinger}}: A first for the show; a short scene of Gabriel successfully fixing Peacock Miraculous plays right after the end card.

** Master Fu gives up his ownership of the Miracle Box to Marinette to make it impossible for Queen Bee or Hawk Moth to get to the kwami. This results in him losing all of his memories tied to the Miraculous, which he knew would happen.

* HoistByHisOwnPetard: Miracle Queen's brainwashed heroes end up being her undoing. Dragon Bug and Cat Noir immediately target Viperion so Cat Noir can use Second Chance to their advantage, and King Monkey's Mess disables Miracle Queen's power when they manipulate him into hitting her with it.

* TheUnmasking: Miracle Queen orders all of the brainwashed temporary Miraculous holders save Alix to come to her location, revealing their identities to herself, Hawk Moth, and Mayura. While Nino and Kagami never get the chance to transform, process of elimination makes their identities pretty simple, plus Hawk Moth already knew Kagami's.

* WhatYouAreInTheDark: During the fight, Snake Noir could have easily learned Ladybug's identity had he delayed using Second Chance by even a second when she was captured. This shows Adrien's character development from the last time he used the snake miraculous, where he revealed his identity to Ladybug knowing no one but him would remember.
