History Recap / MiraculousLadybugS03E26MiracleQueenBattleoftheMiraculousPart2

Hawk Moth akumatizes Chloé into Miracle Queen to make her take control of all the Miraculous holders. Will Ladybug and Cat Noir be able to escape this fatal plan?

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

* DangerousForbiddenTechnique: Cat Noir briefly objects to Ladybug combining her powers with the Dragon Miraculous, but she points out they can't place it safe in this situation.

* SoLastSeason: Played with because Miracle Queen's Wasps can do even more than Queen Wasp's (which could only paralyze not control) and they ARE a threat to the heroes at one point. However while avoiding Queen Wasp's bugs was something that kept them constantly on the run in that episode in this episode Dragonbug simply tosses up a water barrier that makes them a non issue for almost all of the fight barring that one point where King Monkey disrupts it and they manage to get in and sting her (but Snake Noir undoes with his own new additional power)

* DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything: When Master Fu renouncing his Guardianship, it erases all of his memories of them miraculous and by extension the people he knew. Given his advanced age, it brings to mind age-based conditions like dementia.

* TakeThatAudience: The moment when Miracle Queen admit Luka is cute and then mocking his style like a trash is a reminder to audience (especially anyone who ship Luka and Chloe) that Chloe '''will''' never feel in love with someone who is not as rich as Adrien and Prince Ali from "Princess Fragrance".

* TheBadGiyWins: At the end of the episode, Hawk Moth has claimed the secrets of the grimoire, repaired the Peacock Miraculous, damaged the heroes’ bonds (though he doesn’t know that), deprived Team Miraculous of most of their members (including the most powerful) and removed Master Fu from the equation, leaving the inexperienced Ladybug as guardian. Really, the only way things could’ve gone better for him was if he got the Ladybug and Black Cat jewels.

* ShipTease: A massive one. By the end of the episode, many couples/almost couples/ships can be seen enjoying André's ice cream (sans Kim and Ondine, who were in other place):

* ShipTease: A massive one. By the end of the episode, many couples/almost couples/ships can be seen enjoying André's ice cream:

** Max and Alix, surprisingly

** Max and Alix, whom it may be the first time the relationship has been hinted.

* ShipTease: A massive one. By the end of the episode, many couples/almost couples/ships can be seen enjoying Andre's ice cream:

** Max and Alix, for some reason

** [[spoiler:Max and Alix]]

* 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, whereas Chloé had every advantage and still failed because of her own foolishness.

* TakeUpMySword: Marinette formally assumes Master Fu's role as Guardian of the Miraculous.

* EndOfAnEra: Master Fu has officially retired as the Guardian of the Miraculous with Marinette taking his place. However, since most of the Miraculous holders' identities have been exposed, she will have to recruit new holders while taking care of protecting the Miraculous herself alone.

* 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 Chloé seizes Miraculous Box, she can't force a single kwami to follow her orders.

* 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. Whereas Chloé had every advantage and still failed because of her own foolishness.

* DramticIrony: PlayedForLaughs when Miracle Queen derides Viperion as being completely useless when both the heroes and the audience know he's the most useful one there. She doesn't know what the Snake's power is, and naturally doesn't remember any of his resets, so as far as she's concerned, he just sat there and did nothing except get his ass kicked.

* AmnesiacLover: After losing his memories, Master Fu leaves Paris with his lover, Marianne. Fortunately, [[AmnesiacResonance he feels a deeper connection between them the moment he sees her.]]

* EndOfAnEra: Master Fu has officially retired as the guardian of the Miraculous with Marinette taking his place. However, since most of the Miraculous holders' identities have been exposed, she will have to recruit new holders while taking care of protecting the Miraculous herself alone.

* RealityEnsues: Even though Chloé/Miracle Queen has all of the Miraculous at her her fingertips, she can’t actually use any of them because she doesn’t know the kwamis names (or the transformation phrase in the Dub). Also the kwamis can only be controlled if someone knows how to use their Miraculous, so they aren’t obligated to tell Miracle Queen anything.

* 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.

* TearJerker: When you do notice Marinette's narration since the previous episode is actually she reading Fu's last message to her, it makes Fu's farewell even more heartbreaking.

* RevengeBeforeReason: When Miracle Queen manages to break the water shield and get her wasps inside she immediately has them all target Dragon Bug who's the target of her ire rather than both, or concentrate on Snake Noir first who's currently in possession of the Snake Miraculous. While she manages to take Dragon Bug under her control he promptly uses Second Chance to go back and prevent the shield from collapsing in the first place.
