History TearJerker / WhatGoesAroundComesAroundMiraculousLadybug

* Sabrina has to deal with the guilt of helping Chloe bully Marinette, even as going as far as seeing herself as unworthy of taking part in the meeting to deal with the villains. Luckily, Luka and Pollen representatively give her a YouAreBetterThanYouThinkYouAre speech each, and she wields Pollen in the final battle.

** In a happier tearjerker, Adrien eventually finds some measure of peace by accepting his aunt Amelie and Felix as his new family, calling him his mum and brother. While Plagg completely rejects him at the moment, he's able to reconcile with Marinette and get one last 'pound-it' for old time's sake.

** Then he upsets all of his friends with his obliviousness towards how much they suffered due to his father's actions as Hawk Moth, trying in vain to argue that he should be shown leniency. He only [[NotHelpingYourCase makes matters worse]] when he [[SayingTooMuch accidentally reveals that]] he knew about Lila the whole time and [[BetrayalByInaction didn't do anything]]. Felix later points out that they may not [[WeUsedToBeFriends consider him their friend]] after learning little he regarded them.
** Forced to face his parents again after they kidnap him and Felix, he claims that he can convince Marinette to hand over her Earrings so he can Wish for his mother to recover. Emilie hits him ''hard'' with a BreakingSpeech about how naive, selfish and entitled he is to expect Marinette would bend over backwards like that for him, revealing that she prefers Felix and that they intend to forcibly fuse him with his cousin to create an 'ideal son'. Adrien is left utterly ''crushed'' in the wake of her cruelty.

* [[TheWoobie Adrien's]] goes through a TraumaCongaLine in the latter half of the story:

** First, his mother turns out to be EvilAllAlong, and wastes no time manipulating him during their 'happy reunion', twisting him round her little finger until he willingly gives her the Black Cat Ring, over Plagg's desperate protest. The moment she gets what she wants out of him, Emilie shows her true face, blithely dismissing her son's concerns and leaving him to start questioning matters just a little too late.

** She and her husband also serve as a [[{{Foil}} sad counterpoint]] to Sabine and Tom. While both sets of parents learn that their respective daughters have been protecting Paris as superheroines, Marlena and Otis ''also'' learn that Alya has been lying to them, manipulated by a ConsummateLiar and [[NeverMyFault refusing to take any responsibility]] for her own mistakes. Her [[SkewedPriorities priorities have been dramatically skewed]] by her focus on the Ladyblog, and Marlena is left lamenting that all of this unfolded under their noses without either of them noticing just how bad it had gotten.

* [[TheWoobie Adrien’s]] circumstances near the end of the story: Not only does he lose his friends due to him accidentally outing that he knew about Lila’s lies and having an oblivious attitude towards how she had affected them (like in Karma), he also has to deal with his parents. First, Emilie is able to manipulate him into [[spoiler:handing her his Ring]], and then he [[spoiler:and Felix are kidnapped so Gabriel and Emilie can use the Ultimate Power to ''fuse them together to create the perfect son]]!'' And when Adrien tries to protest against their wrongdoings, saying that he can convince Marinette to hand him her Earrings so he can wish for Emilie to fully recover, [[spoiler:she responds by giving him an absolute BreakingSpeech on how naive and entitled he is to expect Marinette to do such a thing, how much she prefers Felix over him as he shares her deviousness and cunning (while revealing her and Gabriel’s plans for the duo) and how she sees his wish for freedom as nothing as a ‘foolish phase’]]. Needless to say, Adrien is ''crushed'' by all this.
** And while Adrien should had known better to naively believe his parents and try to help them gain leniency for their crimes, he only did it because he loved them and had wanted to live happily with them. Sufficient to say, he’s finally forced to realize that is never going to happen and they don’t return his love.
