History Recap / MiraculousLadybugS05E09Elation

* HavingABlast: Glaciator's ice cream projectiles imbued with the power of the Tiger Miraculous allow him to wreck serious havoc. He completely levels Marinette's home and the surrounding area.

* ShipSinking: A particularly strange example, in which this episode sinks the Ladynoir, being that Chat Noir decides to give up Ladybug, so he can be with Marinette.

* ObliviousToLove: {{Exaggerated}} at the beginning. Ladybug prepares a romantic dessert for Cat Noir, says that she's happy to spend just one extra minute with him, kisses him on the cheeks three times (she tries to give him even more), and asks if he has a girlfriend. He thinks this is [[SecretTestOfCharacter some kind of test]]. Truly, [[BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor Ladybug's insistence that Cat Noir stop flirting with her was regrettable]].

* DubInducedPlotHole: At one point when planning how to say hi to Cat Noir, Marinette tries [[EverythingSoundsSexierInFrench saying his name in a French accent]]. Given that even in the English dub she's a native of Paris, she should already be speaking in a French accent. It would have been better to choose another country's accent.

* ShipperOnDeck: [[DeconstructedTrope Deconstructed]]. Throughout the episode, both Alya and André attempt to dissuade Marinette and Cat Noir from being a couple because they're supposed to be in love with someone else [[DramaticIrony (Marinette with Adrien, Cat Noir with Ladybug)]]. This eventually leads to both Marinette almost being Akumatized over being told she can't love the person she does and André being Akumatized over his disappointment that his dream couples seem to be falling apart. By the end of the episode, Alya and André realize their mistakes and conclude that Marinette and Cat Noir should decide for themselves who they want to be with.

* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: After Alya tries one too many times to try and force Marinette to go and be with Adrien while ignoring her friend saying she’s over him now and disregards her new feeling for Cat Noir as her “lying to herself”, Marinette absolutely tears into her over her rabid ShipperOnDeck tendencies with her and Adrien as well as her believing she somehow knew Marinette’s emotions and heart better than Marinette herself and therefore had a right to decide who her friend should be with in the end while ignoring Marinette’s objections. This, combined with seeing Glaciator attacking Ladybug and Cat Noir for the exact same reason, causes her to realize just how pushy she’s been about the Adrien situation and back off.

* DubInducedPlotHole: At one point when planning how to say hi to Cat Noir, Marinette tries [[EverythingSoundsSexierInFrench saying his name in a French accent]]. Given she's a native of Paris, she should already be speaking in a French accent. [[MindScrew It's best not to think about it too hard]].

* ActingUnnatural: When Marinette and Cat Noir first lock eyes, they both freak out. They then awkwardly act like they didn't noticed each other, before unconvincingly pretending to see the other person for the first time.

* DubInducedPlotHole: At one point when planning how to say hi to Cat Noir, Marinette tries [[EverythingSoundsSexierInFrench saying his name in a French accent]]. Given she's a native of Paris she should already be speaking in a French accent. [[MindScrew It's best not to think about it to hard]].

* DubInducedPlotHole: At one point when planning how to say hi to Cat Noir, Marinette tries [[EverythingSoundsSexierInFrench saying his name in a French accent]]. Given she's a native of Paris she should already be speaking in a French accent. [[MindScrew It's best not to think about it to hard.]]

* DubInducedPlotHole: At one point when planning how to say hi to Cat Noir, Marinette tries [[EverythingSoundsSexierInFrench saying his name in a French accent.]] Given she's a native of Paris she should already be speaking in a French accent. [[MindScrew It's best not to think about it to hard.]]

* FirstKiss: The two main characters finally kiss with full knowledge and intent. It's not to [[Recap/MiraculousLadybugS01E10DarkCupid break a curse]], they don't [[Recap/MiraculousLadybugS03E10Oblivio lose their memories]], and it doesn't happen in [[Recap/MiraculousLadybugS03E22CatBlanc an alternate timeline]] or [[Recap/MiraculousLadybugS05E04Jubilation magical dream]]. Surprisingly, their first kiss is when [[DarkHorseVictory they are Marinette and Cat Noir]]. ''However'', it is no RelationshipUpgrade because Cat Noir realizes that [[WithGreatPowerComesGreatResponsibility it would be wrongfully taking advantage of his circumstance to be in a romance with someone who does not know who he is, but he knows who she is.]]

** Adrien finds out that Marinette used to have feelings for him. Marinette also hears definitively that Cat Noir is no longer in love with Ladybug...[[Memes/MiraculousLadybug yep, again he's saying she's just a friend to him.]]

** Adrien cooling on the topic of being in love of Ladybug in favor of Marinette has been going on throughout previous episodes in the season, but Cat Noir saying this clearly to André leads to André's akumatization over that impediment to Ladybug and Cat Noir being a couple.
