History Recap / ScarletLadyS3E11PrincessFragrance

* RightForTheWrongReasons: Upon seeing Tikki with Chloé, Marinette leaps to the conclusion that she must have stolen her... from Scarlet Lady, "'cuz she's a thief and Scarlet is careless!" All of that is correct aside from the notion that Chloé stole the Kwami from Scarlet Lady: Chloé ''IS'' Scarlet, thanks to how she stole the Ladybug earrings from ''Marinette'' all those months ago.

!!Episode 30 - Princess Fragrance - Tales of Rose the Princess

* CallBack: Pollen tells Tikki that she won't allow other kwami to hug Marinette - particularly Mullo, calling back to "Puppeteer".

** When Chloé protests that Rose has a girlfriend, trying to imply that she's off the market, Prince Ali simply declares that he'd love to meet said girlfriend.

** She also compares the scent of Rose's perfume to a rotten fish, only for Sabrina to point out that she not only uses the exact same perfume herself but keeps a bottle of it in her locker.

** Despite her condition clearly worsening, Tikki asks Marigold to help her get back to her wielder instead of seeking medical aid, as she considers dealing with the akuma to be a much more immediate matter.

--->'''Marigold:''' We need to talk about taking the earrings from Scarlet Lady.

* ComicallyMissingThePoint: When Chloé protests that Rose has a girlfriend, trying to imply that she's off the market, Prince Ali simply declares that he'd love to meet said girlfriend.

* WrongAssumption:
** Upon spotting Tikki in Chloé's hands, Marinette mistakenly assumes that she must have stolen the Kwami from Scarlet Lady due to Scar's careless nature and Chloé being a selfish, thieving brat.
** Since he's unfamiliar with Paris's recent troubles, Prince Ali initially thinks that Scarlet Lady, Chat Noir, and Marigold are all fictional characters and is shocked to learn otherwise.

After they've escaped to a new room, Andr&reacute; tries to reassure his guests that the door is reinforced. While Prince Ali's escort wonders how anyone could keep to a schedule under such circumstances, Chloé notices Adrien's absence. Kagami suggests that he must have gotten caught, much like the news crew.

* BittersweetEnding: While Rose's side of the story resolves happily, Tikki goes through the wringer, spending most of the episode seriously ill. Although Marinette ensures that Tikki gets the treatment she needs, it's only a small taste of happiness for the kwami, who has to leave the safety of the Guardian's abode and all her friends behind in order to return to her abusive holder.
* CasualDangerDialogue: As Princess Fragrance's brainwashed bodyguards, including an ensorcelled Chat Noir, close in on Marigold, she idly remarks to herself that she's honestly more concerned about facing ''Kagami''.

* CurseCutShort: Zoe responds to Nadja's comment about how often she's been akumatized by declaring, "Well ''maybe'' if people were a little less shi-" before being cut off.

** PlayedForDrama when Prince Ali's assistant cracks their car's moon-roof open. While Kagami immediately berates her for doing so while they're being pursued by an akuma with mind-control powers, Princess Fragrance still catches up and gasses them through the roof.
** PlayedForLaughs with Hawk Moth, who granted Princess Fragrance the ability to turn anyone who smells her signature perfume completely under her control... without considering that she might do that to ''him''. When she declares her intention to enchant all of Paris, he immediately asks "What, not me though, right?"
* DramaticIrony: Marinette's assumption that Chloé stole Tikki from Scarlet Lady provides ample amounts of this, as the audience (along with Pollen and Tikki) know that Chloé ''is'' Scarlet Lady.
* EasilyForgiven: Despite not having any experience with akuma beforehand, Prince Ali doesn't blame Rose for her actions as Princess Fragrance, quickly discovering that [[CommonalityConnection they share a lot in common]] and kindling an actual relationship.
* HonorBeforeReason: Tikki is so duty-bound that she pleads with Marigold to take her back to Scarlet Lady so she can help her transform despite clearly suffering from her illness. She also returns to her after being healed by Master Fu instead of outing Chloé and staying with the Guardian, as kwami aren't ''meant'' to reveal their holders to anyone and the Ladybug Earrings are still needed for cleansing akuma.

** On a larger scale, Chloé's refusal to do a simple favor for Rose and ripping up her love letter leads to Rose not only meeting her crush after being cleansed, but hitting it off so well that he escorts her to the children's hospital and kicks off a LongDistanceRelationship.
* MarryThemAll: Despite her relationship with Juleka, Rose still wants to confess her crush on Prince Ali, which accelerates into wanting to marry him as Princess Fragrance. When Marinette tries to remind the akuma about her girlfriend Juleka, Princess Fragrance proclaims she has two hands. By the end of the episode, Ali casually introduces Rose and Juleka to his assistant as his girlfriend and "[his] girlfriend's girlfriend," respectively.

** Upon spotting Tikki in Chloé's hands, Marinette mistakenly assumes that she must have stolen her from Scarlet Lady due to Scar's careless nature and Chloé being a selfish, thieving brat.
** Since he's unfamiliar with Paris' recent troubles, Prince Ali initially thinks that Scarlet Lady, Chat Noir and Marigold are all fictional characters, and is shocked to learn otherwise.

* LaserGuidedKarma: Chloé repeatedly claims that Rose's favorite perfume smells like rotten fish. Princess Fragrance pays her back by blasting her with perfume that ''actually'' smells like rotten fish.

Nadja Chamack greets her audience, reporting on Scarlet Lady and her team's latest triumph, describing how Zoe Rapporte was akumatized into the Enchanted Florist, who threatened to terraform all of Paris into a jungle. Scarlet Lady stands front and center before her teammates, laughing victoriously despite how she and the others are getting thoroughly soaked. Nadja remarks on how often Mlle. Rapporte has been akumatized, prompting the florist to cut in, declaring that ''maybe'' she wouldn't get so angry if people weren't so shi--

But she's cut off, as we cut to a rare sight: Chloé in a public restroom, fixing her hair. While she complains about being forced to work in the rain, Tikki sneezes, and Chloé snaps her bag open to find her kwami shuddering. Tikki pleads to be taken to a doctor; when Chloé sarcastically asks "What, a ''kwami'' doctor?", Tikki replies that she knows a healer. But Chloé's having none of it, claiming that she doesn't have ''time'' to take Tikki anywhere, and she's not letting her ruin her attendance record. (Blithely ignoring Tikki's protest that her attendance record is ''already'' poor, and her pitifully crying for a doctor.)

Over at school, Rose is watching the news on her cell phone, listening to Nadja talk about how Prince Ali, heir of the kingdom of Achu, will be visiting Paris to help organize a toy drive for their local children's hospital. With tears in her eyes, Rose muses that he's beautiful both inside and out, prompting Juleka to compare him to her girlfriend. Rose then decides that she's going to write him a letter declaring how much she admires, loves and respects him. Juleka asks how she intends to get it to him, but Rose simply insists that "Love will find a way!", spurring Juleka to wonder "Does love do delivery?"

Chloé arrives; when Mme. Mendeleiev asks where she's been, she snidely declares that she was fixing her hair and makeup. Marinette then trips through the door, and stammers out a LameExcuse about having to take her dog to the vet after he ate all of her socks. Naturally, Chloé leaps at the chance to mock her, remarking that maybe if she wasn't late, she could make sure her excuses were fully baked, and wouldn't look like a drowned rat.

Rose tries to discreetly spray her letter with perfume, only for Mme. Mendeleiev to catch her in the act. She also notices that her cellphone was out, ordering her to take her things to the principal's office. Chloé twists the knife by comparing Rose's perfume to a rotten fish, only for Sabrina to note that Chloé keeps a bottle of the exact same perfume in her locker.

After class, Tikki tries getting Chloé's attention again, only to be harshly hushed: Prince Ali is staying at their hotel, so she has to get ready! Overhearing this, Rose asks if she was talking about Prince Ali; when Chloé snaps "Not to ''you!''", Rose wonders if she was talking to her bag instead since she doesn't have any friends.

Rose then asks if she'd give him her letter. Chloé happily accepts it... and rips it apart before Rose's eyes. Getting into her limo, she cackles at the sight of Rose kneeling on the curb, mocking her naivete... but gets distracted by Tikki's groaning, complaining that she's ruining the moment. Worse, what if she gets sick in her bag?!

So she takes her out to prevent the kwami making a mess -- and Marinette, walking by, sees Tikki cradled in her hand. Horrified, she informs Pollen that Chloé has Scarlet Lady's kwami -- meaning she must have ''stolen her!''

Meanwhile, Hawk Moth contacts Rose, addressing her as "Princess Fragrance" and declaring that nobody will be able to resist her perfume. Rose remarks that she mostly just wants her prince... but isn't against tormenting Chloé a little. As a treat.

Marigold visits the hotel and asks to see Chloé, only to learn that aside from akuma attacks or personal invitations from the Bourgeois', both she and Chat Noir have been banned from the premises. Why? Because the last time they were there, they flooded the whole place with ladybugs. Which they're ''still'' finding squirreled away everywhere.

Tikki is groaning in Chloé's palm, but never mind that! Her Adricheri has just arrived! ...Alongside Kagami, who was ''also'' invited by Prince Ali. Chloé fumes at Adrien complimenting his friend's attire; Kagami teasingly calls him "Adricheri" as well, prompting a soft "How dare you."

Chloé offers the prince a special figure of Scarlet Lady (that she secretly grabbed off her shelf), claiming it's for the children. Adrien reveals that he commissioned a friend to make several plushies of Chat Noir, while Kagami declares that the Tsurugis have delivered an entire truckload of Marigold merchandise in his name. Thanking them all, Ali then asks "And who are these characters?", unaware of Paris' local heroes.

Sneaking in, Marinette spots Tikki hanging out of Chloé's handbag, visibly ill. Then Princess Fragrance arrives, blasting the bully with a specially scented perfume -- one that ''actually'' smells like rotten fish. Marinette muses that this might be her favorite akuma. But that doesn't mean she's going to stand idly by while they're threatening innocents, and she distracts Princess Fragrance by striking one of the nearby floral arrangements, sending flower petals swirling everywhere. Both she and Adrien take advantage of the distraction to transform while the others flee; Pollen tries to remind Marinette of the helmet, but there's no time to take it off.

After they've escaped that floor, Andr&reacute; tries to reassure his guests that the door is reinforced. While Prince Ali's escort wonders how anyone could keep on schedule under such circumstances, Chloé notices Adrien's absence. Kagami suggests that he must have gotten caught, much like the news crew.

Princess Fragrance tries flooding the floor with more of her charming perfume, only for Marigold (sporting an appropriately transformed helmet) to distract her. André declares that they should make a break for it; Prince Ali is led along by Kagami, still clutching one of the Chat Noir dolls and shocked to learn that the characters they were telling him about were actually real. Marigold ducks into a dumbwaiter in order to escape the fumes.

Chat Noir catches up with the survivors downstairs; as he asks where the akuma is, Chloé orders one of the workers to close the door, revealing that her father has fallen victim to Princess Fragrance's mind control. Princess Fragrance strides in, but is knocked away by Chat Noir's baton as he reminds her that "No means no!"

Making it outside, they reach a car... but Kagami refuses to let Chloé join them, as she ''still'' smells like raw fish and will stink up the whole vehicle. Besides, she reasons, the akuma isn't after HER. In the ensuing struggle, Tikki falls out into the car unnoticed. Chat Noir orders Chloé to wait for either Marigold or her supposed BFF, Scarlet Lady, leaving both her and Princess Fragrance screaming "''How dare yoooou!''" in unintentional tandem.

Chloé's mood isn't improved by Princess Fragrance promptly proving Kagami right by ignoring her in favor of pursuing the car. Now she's finally ready to transform -- but wait! Tikki's not in her bag anymore! Marigold arrives, and Chloé orders her after the car, claiming that Kagami stole her "important bug plushie".

Unfortunately, Princess Fragrance catches up first. Prince Ali's escort had cracked over the moonroof, despite Kagami trying to warn her off, and the akuma gleefully floods the whole car with her mind-control perfume while Tikki huddles on the floor, weakly whimpering for Chloé.

Marigold arrives on scene to find the car completely abandoned, save for the poor, shivering kwami. Tikki weakly protests that she needs to get back to Scarlet Lady and transform, but Marigold refuses, declaring that she's taking her to Master Fu right away. As he treats Tikki, Marinette explains how her classmate Chloé had her, and must have stolen her from Scarlet Lady.

With his expert aid, Tikki quickly recovers. Though duty calls, Pollen convinces her to give out some goodbye hugs first, insisting that her queen gives the best hugs. As Marinette gently embraces her, tears spring into Tikki's eyes as she thinks about what might have been... and Pollen whispers to her that Tikki is the ''only'' one she's willing to lend her out to. For everyone else, she's off limits. Especially Mullo.

Marigold arrives at the Pont Des Arts, knocking away the perfumed padlock she was about to use on Prince Ali to "seal our love for eternity." She asks Rose if she forgot she already has a girlfriend; Princess Fragrance retorts that she's got two hands, ordering her brainwashed servants to attack. As they rush in, Marigold notes that she's more afraid of Kagami than Chat Noir.

Meanwhile, Tikki finds Chloé sulking on the curb. Chloé demands to know where she's been, complaining about being stuck on the sidelines like some ''civilian''. Then she notices Princess Fragrance flying overhead, Prince Ali hanging off of her, and promptly transforms, chasing after her and arriving just in time to hear her declare that she'll enchant all of Paris. (Something that surprised Hawk Moth, who asks his akuma "Wait, not me though, right?")

With a shout of "I don't ''think'' so, Stink Bomb!", Scarlet Lady knocks her hand aside, breaking her concentration. Marigold arrives right behind her, and Princess Fragrance demands to know what happened to her servants. While Marigold doesn't bother to answer, a swift cutover reveals they all got dosed in the river, with Kagami, André and Prince Ali's assistance getting tied up in Chat Noir's belt. Snatching away Scarlet Lady's Lucky Charm -- a balloon -- Marigold tosses it so that it covers up the nozzle of Princess Fragrance's perfume gun, then stings her with Venom. Scarlet Lady remarks on how easy that was, only for an annoyed Marigold to counter "Easy for ''you'', maybe."

Rose then notices that Prince Ali is present and happily greets him. Scarlet Lady starts bragging about who she is, only for Marigold to remind her that her timer's beeping and drag her off by the ear, leaving Prince Ali wondering if their heroes are usually so... ''eccentric''. By the time Chloé gets back to them, the pair have already bonded, with Prince Ali deciding to escort Rose to the children's hospital. Chloé protests that Rose already has a girlfriend; Prince Ali declares that he'd love to meet her, as Rose gleefully replies that Juleka would love to meet ''him'' as well. By the time his assistant arrives at the hospital, not only have they already met, but he cheerfully introduces Rose as his girlfriend and Juleka as his girlfriend's girlfriend.

That evening, Chat Noir rendezvouses with Marigold upon a rooftop, declaring that he got her message and asking what's up. Is she upset about the akuma? He apologizes for having gotten hit, only for Marigold to interrupt him and declare that they need to talk about getting the Ladybug Earrings away from Scarlet Lady.
