4	!!Season 1
5	[[folder:Origins Part 1: Tales of Chloé the Ladybug]]
6	* Marinette performing a DivingSave on Alya.
7	* Scarlet Lady (accidentally) manages to knock out Stoneheart with a kick when she overhears Chat Noir suggest that Marinette should be a hero instead.
8	* Marinette quickly steps up as the leader and comes up with a plan to defeat the akuma, all while as a civilian.
9	[[/folder]]
10
11	[[folder:Origins Part 2: Tales of Chat Noir the Exhausted]]
12	* Adrien finally decides he won't let his father boss him around anymore, giving Gabriel a PrecisionFStrike via Nathalie.
13	* Chat Noir jumping to save Marinette as she falls to her death.
14	* Marinette, even as a civilian, tells off Hawkmoth in her TheReasonYouSuckSpeech. This also motivates her to stand up to Chloé.
15	* Adrien tells off Chloé, saying that they can't be friends if she continues to act like a bully.
16	[[/folder]]
17
18	[[folder:Stormy Weather: Tales of Aurore the Weather Girl]]
19	* Adrien's photographer isn't at all intimidated or impressed by Chloé throwing her weight around, even sassing her for her poor fashion choices. Given how used she is to getting her way, it can be assumed that few have ever stood up to her like this.
20	* A villainous moment when Stormy Weather manages to [[CurbStompBattle defeat both Chat Noir and Scarlet Lady (working together for once) in the span of four panels]]: One to notice the charge, one to beat Chat, one to beat Scar, and one to perform a FlawlessVictory pose. If she hadn't promptly gotten distracted by her own goals, Hawkmoth might have won right then.
21	* Stormy Weather figures out all on her own that the weather girl contest was rigged and gets her revenge in the creepiest way possible.
22	* Chat Noir defeats Stormy Weather by snatching Scarlet Lady's yoyo, looping its string around his baton, and using it like a makeshift fishing line to snag Stormy Weather's leg and pull her to the ground.
23	* Mireille reveals on social media that the weather girl contest was rigged, causing Alec to be flooded with calls from Aurore's furious fans.
24	[[/folder]]
25
26	[[folder:The Bubbler: Tales of Nino the Party Planner]]
27	* Adrien continues to stand up to Gabriel. When the latter kicks Nino out, Adrien declares to Gabriel that he's going to dye his hair green in retaliation. [[BrickJoke He's later shown to have indeed gone through with it.]]
28	* Doubles as [[SugarWiki/FunnyMoments Funny]], but Chat Noir defeats the Bubbler with a single NonLethalKO by simply ''throwing'' the Lucky Charm spanner at his head. That alone likely took some ImprobableAimingSkills.
29	[[/folder]]
30
31	[[folder:Lady Wifi: Tales of Alya the Journalist]]
32	* Marlena Césaire gets Alya's punishment lifted after learning that her daughter had been suspended for a full week, something that was handed down before the school even contacted her. She must've been pretty scary if Principal Damocles decided he'd rather risk the mayor's wrath than hers.
33	* Chloé receives some LaserGuidedKarma for what she did to Alya courtesy of Tikki, who hides Chloé's diamond scrunchie and ruins her curling iron.
34	[[/folder]]
35
36	[[folder:Mr. Pigeon: Tales of Xavier the Bird Man]]
37	* Sabrina probably deserves credit for pointing out to Chloé that it'd be easier to use one of the many designs Marinette had balled up and thrown away rather than going after the one she plans on entering in the contest. Had Chloé listened to her, she probably wouldn't have gotten disqualified.
38	* Like in canon, Marinette promptly proves that Chloé was the one who copied her design by pointing out how both hats have her name on them. Here, though, she also points out how she has the original sketches. Alya even outright calls Chloé an idiot for thinking she could get away with her plagiarism.
39	* The judging panel quickly shuts down Chloé's attempt to scapegoat Sabrina and tell her that not only is she disqualified, but she's also banned from all future contests involving the Gabriel brand.
40	[[/folder]]
41
42	[[folder:The Pharaoh: Tales of Jalil the Conspiracy Theorist]]
43	* [[HiddenDepths Alix is surprisingly well-versed in Egyptology]], especially compared to her brother [[CloudCuckooLander Jalil]] (which, to be fair, isn't saying much), whose various inaccurate statements she repeatedly corrects. The captions even explain that she's doing her best to prevent her brother from messing everyone up on their upcoming test.
44	* Alix deactivates the Louvre's security system to free the heroes and Marinette so that they can stop the Pharaoh.
45	[[/folder]]
46
47	[[folder:Rogercop: Tales of Roger the Police Officer]]
48	* Sabrina spirals into a HeroicBSOD after her "best friend" Chloé gets Sabrina's father fired. However, she gets some measure of revenge when she throws her bag square in Chloé's face after the latter callously demands that Sabrina hand over her bag to be searched.
49	* Marinette rightfully snarks that her father is in no position to [[NotNowKiddo scold her to let the adults handle things]] when he and the adults [[AdultsAreUseless aren't actually doing anything helpful about the situation]].
50	* Rogercop gets a villainous one when he manages to quickly CurbStomp Chat Noir not once, but twice, on one page.
51	* Considering he's normally a ShrinkingViolet, Nathaniel angrily calling out Chloé for accusing Marinette and Sabrina probably counts.
52	* André Bourgeois finally puts his foot down with Chloé and [[OrderedApology forces her to apologize to Marinette]] for falsely accusing the latter of theft.
53	[[/folder]]
54
55	!!Season 2
56	[[folder:Darkblade: Tales of Armand the Knight]]
57	* Chat Noir defeats Darkblade in a sword fight--by countering a move he had only seen that morning.
58	* After getting her hand trapped in Marinette's diary box, Sabrina reaches her RageBreakingPoint with Chloé and mouths off to her, probably for the first time ever. Then, when Chloé refuses to believe her about how she got her hand stuck in the box, Sabrina outright ''yells'' at her.
59	* When Chloé tries to [[TheScapegoat scapegoat]] Sabrina, the latter glares at her [[WithFriendsLikeThese "best friend"]] rather than just meekly take it like she did previously. Moreover, the class, led by Alix, defends Sabrina, telling Chloé that they all know that she was the one who put Sabrina up to it.
60	* Chloé gets angrily called out for abandoning her classmates during Darkblade's attack... by ''[[NiceGirl Rose]]'' of all people!
61	[[/folder]]
62
63	[[folder:The Gamer: Tales of Max the Pro Gamer]]
64	* Unlike in the show, Marinette stands up for herself and refuses to be shoehorned as being in the wrong:
65	** When Alya accuses her of not taking the tournament seriously, Marinette points out that she would only be selected to represent the school in the tournament by proving herself as the best. Alya isn't seen bringing this up again, indicating it was an ArmorPiercingQuestion.
66	** She later reminds an akumatized Max that he lost twice while calling him out for being a SoreLoser.
67	* Sabine not only refuses to let Chloé go to Marinette's room, recognizing her as her daughter's bully, but overcharges her for her usual cookies order.
68	[[/folder]]
69
70	[[folder:Reflekta: Tales of Juleka the Goth]]
71	* Sabrina stands up to Chloé and refuses to help her with her latest bullying scheme. She manages to get in some snark at her "best friend" as well by pointing out that Chloé's "picture with Adrien" actually shows him shoving her off of him.
72	* Adrien also gets a chance to call Chloé out and even roughly pushes her off of him as the class photo is being taken, clearing baffling her.
73	* Rose performing a DivingSave on Sabrina.
74	* Adrien cleverly detransforms while hidden in a locker and hands the ring to Plagg right before getting zapped by Reflekta. His subsequent reactions imply that he realized he could still transform over the Reflekta form.
75	* Marinette gets to use the Black Cat Miraculous, becoming the heroine Maotif.
76	* Maotif doing a maneuver worthy of ''VideoGame/SplinterCell'' to sneak behind Reflekta and stop her.
77	[[/folder]]
78
79	[[folder:Timebreaker: Tales of Alix the Skater]]
80	* Marinette swiftly grabbing Timebreaker and knocking her to the ground, citing gùn training her mother had her undergo.
81	* Marinette manages to essentially blackmail Scarlet Lady into fighting by recording her doing nothing (though this sadly gets the Ladybug heroine tagged).
82	* Though Marinette is given the chance to sit out the fight, she still races back to help Chat Noir.
83	[[/folder]]
84
85	[[folder:Simon Says: Tales of Simon the Hypnotist]]
86	* The reveal that Aurore basically has Alec wrapped around her thumb as a result of how his attempt to rig the weather girl competition was exposed. By the episode's end, this is true for Nino, too, thanks to Alec's antics with Gabriel. He even calls Alec out for [[{{Hypocrite}} complaining about an alleged lack of "fairness" after what the host put Simon through]].
87	* Nathalie in general. She single-handedly foils Scarlet Lady's attempts to be alone with Adrien (especially since he's (supposedly) showering), takes down Simon Says' brainwashed minions, ''and'' keeps Gabriel from jumping off the roof of the studio. To quote the author's note:
88	-->'''Caption:''' Look Nino, when your boss is Gabriel I-Make-A-Living-On-Being-An-Asshole Agreste you learn how to defend yourself.
89	[[/folder]]
90
91	[[folder:Volpina: Tales of Lila the Fox]]
92	* Adrien manages to SpotTheThread on his own (with a little bit of help from Plagg) and calls Lila out on her CelebrityLie about being friends with Scarlet Lady after the Ladybug heroine allegedly saved her life, telling Lila that he knows it's a lie because Scarlet Lady wouldn't save ''anyone''.
93	* Lila [[TheReasonYouSuckSpeech calling out Scarlet Lady]] after she's de-akumatized.
94	-->''"If anyone's a fake hero, it's '''you!''' You don't have to worry about me pretending to be your friend, because '''I hate your guts!''' Arrivederci, '''weirdo!'''"''
95	** Even more... [[WeWillMeetAgain "Arrivederci" translates as "see you again."]] That takes ''guts''.
96	** Even better... She ''delivers'': first in "Prime Queen", when she calls to the live interview the main heroes are having with Nadja and translates Chat Noir and Marigold's diplomatic answer on why they put up with Scarlet Lady as "So you put up with her because you ''have'' to", and then in "Frightingale", when Chloé asks why Scarlet Lady is being excluded from Clara's video and Lila ''reads a list of her many screw ups'' complete with examples - that don't include the treatment Scarlet Lady gave her.
97	* In the final page of the episode, Adrien gets two back-to-back.
98	** After dealing with Volpina, his "partner" comes back to his secret identity's home, most likely [[EntitledToHaveYou trying to have a romantic moment with him]] [[BelievingTheirOwnLies now that "she's saved him from Volpina/Lila"]]. Keep in mind, she had proved [[ShootTheHostage absolutely willing to let Volpina harm innocents,]] '''[[BruceWayneHeldHostage himself included,]]''' mere hours ago. Rather than even attempting to argue with her about needing some space after a long day of having to deal with two SmallNameBigEgo girls or [[WhatTheHellHero call her out for her sociopathic tendencies]] (more than likely knowing [[IgnoredEpiphany she'll conveniently forget this moment]] rather than [[MyGodWhatHaveIDone give even a half-assed apology]] since [[ItsAllAboutMe it doesn't fit her deluded narrative)]], Adrien [[BoringButPractical simply reveals that his father has upgraded their home security,]] ending his interaction with [[FakeUltimateHero Scarlet Lady]] without saying a WORD, locking her out so he can actually attempt to read his book in peace.
99	** After months of dealing with a terrible partner who has become an outright sociopath since getting her Miraculous, [[WakeUpGoToSchoolSaveTheWorld being overworked on]] [[DeconstructedTrope both sides of his life]] because of said partner's laziness, [[AntagonisticOffspring rebelling against]] his absent father who is secretly aiding in the ruination of his life as the BigBad, is forced to deal with his overly selfish ChildhoodFriend who refuses to take "no" for an answer to his deflections, [[AlphaBitch and is just plain rude to everyone else in class at BEST if not an outright bully at WORST,]] and unintentionally having to juggle a TwoPersonLoveTriangle with his crush Marinette, Adrien has had it rough. However, as WordOfGod promised months back, Adrien finally gets recognition when Plagg, of his own volition, [[WhamEpisode brings Adrien to Master Fu]] to help translate the Miraculous Grimoire Adrien and Plagg stole from Gabriel's secret safe. Adrien's status as TheChosenOne is no longer ignored.
100	[[/folder]]
101
102	[[folder:The Collector: Tales of Gabriel the TOP SECRET]]
103	* Adrien wastes very little time [[WhatTheHellHero calling out Fu for his mishandling of Scarlet Lady]] upon being told that Fu was the one who gave Adrien his ring. Fu, for his part, admits his mistake (showing he's grown to own it since Chapter 1 where he [[NeverMyFault insisted he wasn't to blame]] for Scarlet Lady) and [[TheAtoner confesses to Adrien he NEVER chose Scar and has been hunting for her civilian identity on top of his other priorities]]. Yes, Adrien managed to get Fu to APOLOGIZE for Scarlet Lady in only one page of meeting him!
104	* Adrien gets his father to back down from pulling Adrien out of school by [[{{Blackmail}} threatening to publicly expose Gabriel's horrible parenting]] and cause his father a PR nightmare through his friends--one of whom has a personal connection to Nadja Chamack.
105	* Scarlet Lady is actually useful in a fight this time, hitting The Collector with a Lucky Charm bike pedal.
106	* Towards the end of the episode, [[BadassNormal Marinette]] and [[ConsummateLiar Lila]] have a heart-to-heart conversation on the latter's bad habit. What follows is a very well written conversation.
107	** We get an actual FreudianExcuse on Lila's part (that she did it to cope with being the new kid with her constant moving due to her mother's ambassador job but [[MotiveDecay eventually tried to see how far she could stretch her stories)]]. However, [[HeelRealization Scarlet Lady's exposure and humiliation of her made her realize]] [[HatedByAll she's probably made enemies of the entire class]], [[VillainWithGoodPublicity who loves Scarlet Lady despite her true personality]], [[ScrewThisImOuttaHere and doesn't want their heckling, hence she intends to skip the rest of the school year]] since [[AlphaBitch Scarlet Lady]] [[DisproportionateRetribution threw her into a fountain and gave her a cold over some tall tales]]. Unlike her [[HateSink canon counterpart]], [[SympathyForTheDevil what Lila went through makes her come off as less of a villain and more of a troubled teenager]] [[LaserGuidedKarma who karma slapped sense into]] and made realize she's in over her head making an enemy with [[LovedByAll Scarlet Lady's insane pull with the press]].
108	** [[AdaptationalIntelligence Marinette]], [[BirdsOfAFeather all too familiar with Scarlet Lady and Chloé's bullying]], offers Lila an ear rather than their canon counterparts' [[ArchEnemy mutual hatred]]. When Lila's done, she calmly assesses the confession and then gives a YouAreBetterThanYouThinkYouAre speech. The following pages seems to have had some effect on Lila, marking the beginning of [[AdaptationalHeroism the latter's]] HeelFaceTurn.
109	--->'''[[OnlySaneMan Marinette]]:''' [[BrutalHonesty Yeah, no, Scarlet Lady sucks.]]\
110	'''[[IJustWantToBeSpecial Lila]]:''' ?!?\
111	'''Marinette:''' ''[back turned to Lila]'' Look, I '''''[[BerserkButton don't like liars]]'''''. But [[FakeUltimateHero Scarlet Lady]] [[ConsummateLiar is the biggest liar I know]], [[LesserOfTwoEvils so I'd pick]] '''''[[EvenEvilHasStandards you]]''''' [[LesserOfTwoEvils over]] '''''[[NominalHero her]]''''' [[LesserOfTwoEvils any day.]] ''[turns to Lila]'' [[JustBetweenYouAndMe And just so you know]], [[EveryoneHasStandards Rose was worried about you]]. [[EveryoneHasStandards And Alix stopped]] [[AlphaBitch Chloé]] [[KickTheDog from spreading rumors about you]]. What I'm trying to say is that you're going to have to earn back some trust, but... [[YouAreNotAlone You're not as alone as you think]]. ''[turns to leave]'' [[YouAreBetterThanYouThinkYouAre Maybe rethink your assumptions before you give up.]]
112	* When Adrien brings out the Grimoire for his father, he fools him into thinking he's had it all along by combining a SeamlessSpontaneousLie and an ArmorPiercingQuestion that leaves the man unwilling to continue the interrogation.
113	[[/folder]]
114
115	[[folder:La Befana: Tales of Gina the Witch]]
116	* Sabrina immediately accepts her assigned role of "Chloé wrangler" and later makes sure to undo all of her friend's sabotage. It might not seem like much, but she's come a long way from the submissive lackey to Chloé she was at the beginning.
117	* After La Befana hits his BerserkButton of hurting Marinette, Chat Noir's rage is enough to actually make Scarlet Lady ''listen to him''.
118	[[/folder]]
119
120	[[folder:Kung Food: Tales of Wang Cheng the Chef]]
121	* Marinette outsmarts the brainwashed Jagged Stone with a form of DoorJudo. It impresses Chat Noir so much that he lets her tag along for the fight.
122	* When the brainwashed Alec [[BerserkButton harms Marinette]], Chat Noir makes short work of him and Marlena.
123	* At the end of the episode, Adrien gushes about [[BadassNormal Marinette's]] [[HypercompetentSidekick skill in assisting in akuma battles]] to [[BigGood Master Fu.]] Fu, upon learning that Marinette not only [[HeroicBystander keeps helping]] [[TheDeterminator despite having no Miraculous]] but once [[SuperpowersForADay used the Cat Miraculous]] and faithfully returned it to Adrien, doubles down on [[TheChooserOfTheOne his original decision to make her a heroine]]. That's right, everybody: [[TheCallKnowsWhereYouLive Marigold]] [[EmpoweredBadassNormal is finally coming!]]
124	[[/folder]]
125
126	[[folder:Evillustrator: Tales of Nathaniel the Artist]]
127	* Sabrina outright yells at Chloé about not wanting to do any work for the project. When Chloé retorts by telling her that she doesn't have any other friends, Sabrina declares that that's ''not'' true because the rest of the class are so much nicer than her. She then needs to be held back from outright ''[[LetMeAtHim attacking]]'' Chloé.
128	* It took two seasons, but Marinette finally meets [[BigGood Master Fu]], who in one page helps her [[LoveEpiphany realize she's fallen in love with Chat Noir]].
129	* Scarlet Lady gets a minor one by [[MundaneUtility using Tikki's intangibility to circumvent Evillustator's ambush]] and [[AssassinOutclassin surprise him long enough for Chat to arrive]].
130	* The second Chat Noir gets an opportunity to properly fight Evillustrator (being one step behind him for most of the episode): it's a CurbStompBattle in the former's favor.
131	[[/folder]]
132
133	!!Season 3
134	[[folder:Vanisher: Tales of Sabrina the Invisible]]
135	* With the exception of the Stoneheart two-parter of "Origins" (which instead shows Scarlet Lady and Chat Noir, respectively), the title art typically shows the [[DayInTheLimelight focused akumatized character]] in an outfit based on their akuma form. However, one has to remember Vanisher... [[AntiClimax was pretty just Sabrina invisible]]. Here, though? [[AdaptationalAttractiveness Sabrina's wearing a beautiful dress for the concept art, corresponding to a new akuma design.]] She's also reaching up to a black-gloved hand, the owner conveniently offscreen, which hints at Marigold's debut and Sabrina completing her HeelFaceTurn and cutting Chloé out of her life completely.
136	* Vanisher has [[AdaptationalSuperpowerChange new powers]], tailor-made to hurt Chloé. Not only can she be invisible herself, but she can make others [[BlessedWithSuck invisible, inaudible, and intangible, as if they weren't there]], by putting them in [[PhantomZone a parallel dimension where they cannot interact with the real world]]. This is a cruel but fitting punishment for [[AttentionWhore Chloé]].
137	* In the flashback, when [[NeverMyFault Chloé tries to blame Sabrina for humiliating her]] by disproving her FriendOfMaskedSelf lie, Sabrina doesn't give an inch, telling Chloé that she embarrassed herself with her lies. She even unwittingly hits one of Chloé's {{Berserk Button}}s by mentioning Lila's CelebrityLie about the Ladybug heroine and making a NotSoDifferentRemark.
138	* Marinette has none of her canon hesitation when given the chance to be the Bee hero. She [[JumpedAtTheCall jumps at the call]], having already tried super-heroism once as Maotif, and is thrilled she can [[BattleCouple help Chat Noir]] without [[LoopholeAbuse appearing to break her promise to him]] in "Evillustrator" (as long as she keeps her secret identity, that is).
139	* Marigold appears in a three-panel full length view after [[DynamicEntry getting in the first hit on the akuma]], amazing everyone in the room. Chat Noir, Chloé, and Vanisher yell in unison, "Who are you?!" while Hawkmoth curses from his lair. [[HelpMistakenForAttack Her help might have been taken for an attack]], but her strike on Vanisher has rendered the akuma visible and audible, revealing the akuma's weakness.
140	* Marigold and Chat Noir working together take down Vanisher in a CurbStompBattle. They first do BackToBackBadasses for defense. Then Marigold comes up with a way to SeeTheInvisible by covering the floor with flowers and looking for disturbances. Chat gets a KryptoniteFactor hit on Vanisher ("Ah my one weakness! Being beat by a baton!" says the author), which is followed by Marigold doing the FinishingMove with her paralyzing Venom. As the author puts it, "Wam bam thank you ma'am we're done here good job everybody!"
141	* After being deakumatized, only to be scolded Chloé, Sabrina ends their friendship on the spot.
142	* Anticipating that wearing the comb to school might draw unwanted attention to her new accessory, Marinette stays up all night creating several ''other'' bee-themed accessories to share with her classmates, claiming that the Bee Heroine inspired her to try her hand at resin casting. The girl goes ''hard'' when it comes to protecting her new SecretIdentity.
143	[[/folder]]
144
145	[[folder:Riposte: Tales of Kagami the Fencer]]
146	* Through a video that Plagg and Tikki watch inside Chloé's purse, we get to see a moment from Marigold's debut TV interview. It's captioned, "Bravo Marigold!" showing that she is off to a great start in the public eye.
147	* Pollen manages to (accidentally) reveal Marigold's identity, using LoopholeAbuse to bypass the inability of Kwamis to say the name of their holders' names.
148	* When Chloé angrily asks why Marc is allowed to watch the fencing tryouts and she isn't, not only does Marinette state that Marc has permission, she also uses the proper pronouns for them after they correct her.
149	* For her first-time fencing, Marinette actually does very well, managing to land a good hit on Adrien.
150	* Kagami's DramaticEntrance.
151	* Marinette immediately identifies Kagami's ''corps-a-corps'' violation and correctly points out that the bout should be halted as a result. Too bad D'Argencourt doesn't listen to her.
152	* Chloé taunts Kagami over losing due to the former's biased ruling, gloating that Kagami knows when to listen to "her superiors." Kagami then stabs the ground so hard, she actually makes a crack in it, causing Chloé to flinch. It's also unclear if Kagami was actually aiming for her foot or not.
153	* When Marigold makes a major blunder in the initial Riposte fight (talking too much to Adrien about getting him to safety and [[FailedASpotCheck missing an incoming attack by Riposte]]), Adrien has to do a DivingSave for her, injuring his ankle in the process. Marigold is mortified that he was injured protecting her when she was supposed to protect him and promises to do better. A cartoon "respect meter" shows she has gained a little respect in his eyes.
154	* Marigold pulls off an OffscreenMomentOfAwesome by getting Adrien away when they are cornered by Riposte on the rooftop. The two were within direct sight of Riposte, and Scarlet Lady was very close, ready to take Adrien away herself. Yet they managed to pull off a StealthHiBye, which would've taken amazing timing and sneakiness.
155	* Chat Noir and Marigold coordinate much faster in this version, defeating Riposte [[AdaptedOut before there is any threat to the sarcophagus where Adrien is supposedly hidden]]. To be fair, Scarlet Lady helps by providing a third opponent to knock around, as well as the Lucky Charm radiator they need to break the sword/arm (albeit reluctantly).
156	* Adrien, pretending he watched the fight from the sidelines, compliments Marigold, saying, "You should give yourself more credit. I saw how helpful you were." Marigold blushes and replies, "Helpful?! Really?!" and Adrien thinks, "Cute."
157
158	[[/folder]]
159
160	[[folder:Captain Hardrock: Tales of Anarka the Pirate]]
161	* [[AlphaBitch Chloé's]] tendency to [[EntitledBastard invite herself to every event and expect to be allowed to stay]] is not welcome on the ''Liberty''. [[TheBigGuy Ivan's]] [[CuttingTheKnot solution]], instead of arguing with someone he KNOWS [[NoListeningSkills will not listen to]] [[ItsAllAboutMe anyone but herself]], is to haul her off the boat and pull up the gangplank before she can react and get herself back on the houseboat, showing that he and everyone else is '''DONE''' [[TheFriendNobodyLikes tolerating her]].
162	* With Marinette [[AdaptationalPersonalityChange not being]] [[StalkerWithACrush obsessed with Adrien]] in this timeline, she shows her ability to focus on the task at hand (setting up for the concert) and avoids [[ShipperOnDeck Alya's hints]], even [[ShipTease innocently reversing one on Alya, pointing out her friend's crush on Nino]].
163	* When Pollen is about to blurt out what she did to open the lock in a secret-identity-exposing answer to Luka's question, Marinette manages to grab the Kwami; shut her up, smoothly finish her sentence with a little "erm" to cover the VocalDissonance; and get out her guitar pick with the other hand to show Luka. It's a great feat of quick thinking.
164	* Marigold gets another DynamicEntry, freeing Scarlet Lady from the chains that just caught her. She gets no gratitude from [[EntitledBastard Scar]], however.
165	* One to Captain Hardrock, who gets Chat pinned to the mast of the ship and prepares take his ring before Marigold and Scarlet Lady even notice.
166	* The entire Kitty Section band and their friends (Luka, Rose, Juleka, Ivan, Nino, Alya, and Mylène) become {{Adaptational Badass}}es under Luka's lead. Using Chat Noir's extended baton as a steering pole, they force Captain Hardrock's ship to crash onto dry land. This also provides an opening for Chat Noir and Marigold to use the Lucky Charm chain against the akuma. Their action is not without cost; as Luka laments, "We're gonna be ''so'' sore tomorrow!"
167	* After helping with three akumas in a row, Marigold gets recognized as a partner by Chat Noir and shares a fist-bump "Bien Joué!" with him, to her delight.
168	* Roger finally gets even with Chloé for what happened in "Rogercop." He allows the band to play their music because, well, it ''is'' a music festival, which in turn recedes the violation order he issued. When Chloé objects and threatens to have her dad fire him (again), Roger informs her that he and Sabrina looked over things and realized the mayor doesn't ''have'' the jurisdiction to do that, complete with a shaded face as he tells her this. Chloé's {{Sweat Drop}}s as he does this are both hilarious and cathartic.
169	[[/folder]]
170
171	[[folder:Syren: Tales of Ondine the Mermaid]]
172	* Marigold gets credit in the news for helping Chat Noir to round up escaped zoo animals. (Scar doesn't bother to show up, and it gets noticed.)
173	* Anarka and Luka use the ''Liberty'' to mount a rescue.
174	* Syren manages to deliver a CurbStompBattle to Marigold, but Chat still [[CatchAFallingStar manages to rescue the Bee heroine after she was blown out of the water]].
175	* All three heroes show up in aqua form [[BigDamnHeroes just in time to prevent Syren from kissing Kim and turning him into a merman]], posing shoulder to shoulder for once. This is an awesome feat even for Scarlet Lady, given her squeamishness about getting into dirty water and messing up her hair.
176	* Due to their heroism and skills, Master Fu decides to train ''both'' Chat Noir and Marigold.
177	[[/folder]]
178
179	[[folder:Dark Cupid: Tales of Kim the Romantic]]
180	* Adrien's fan club immediately realizes that Chloé is trying to trick them using a fake autographed poster and call her pathetic for her stunt.
181	* Scarlet Lady manages to stop Dark Cupid by throwing a candy heart at him before using her yo-yo to stop a brainwashed Marigold from stinging Chat Noir.
182	* Once he's saved, Kim wastes no time indirectly calling Chloé out for ruining his gift to Ondine.
183	[[/folder]]
184
185	[[folder:Intermission: Tales of Marinette the Bee]]
186	* Sabrina (and implicitly Lila) [[HiddenDepths is revealed to have a certain talent in roller derby]].
187	* While not concentrating on action and more SliceOfLife, the ending has Chat Noir and Marigold discussing how Scarlet Lady isn't the intended owner of the Ladybug Miraculous. When it turns to the subject of if or when they defeat Hawkmoth, Chat doesn't think Scarlet Lady would give the Miraculous up willingly. Marigold's clenching her fist indicates that there will come a time in the future when the two true heroes of Paris will have to bring down Scar like any other villain.
188	[[/folder]]
189
190	[[folder:Animan: Tales of Otis the Zookeeper]]
191	* Though he unfortunately gets interrupted by Animan releasing the animals, Adrien ''finally'' tells Chloé off for intruding on their group activity when she wasn't invited. While Chloé completely misses (or chooses to ignore) the hint, Adrien makes it as clear as possible that he's considers her as nothing more than a StalkerWithACrush and doesn't want her there.
192	* When trapping Animan in the bus doesn't work (because he rips the roof by transforming into a dinosaur), Marigold gives him a NonLethalKO with Venom, handily defeating him. Even the caption for this makes it clear how fast it went.

196	[[folder:Puppeteer: Tales of Manon the Doll Master]]
197	* Nadja is apparently such an AlmightyMom that even while akumatized, her daughter is afraid of getting into trouble.
198	* Multimouse [[CurbStompBattle dominates the fight]]. First, she grabs the Lucky Charm electrical extension cord and whirls it, along with her jump rope, to make twin shields the villains cannot penetrate, mocking, "That all you got?" Then, with the power of Multitude, she attacks the [[VoodooDoll dolls controlling the puppet villains]], making them flop on the ground. While Puppeteer is distracted by this, another copy bites her hand to make her drop her wand, and two more carry her wand away.
199	* Manon manages to get everyone who witnessed Multimouse's detransformation into Marinette (even Scarlet) to pinkie promise to not reveal what they saw.

202	[[folder:Guitar Villain: Tales of Jagged Stone the Rock Star]]
203	* Chat Noir gives Scarlet Lady [[ATasteOfHisOwnMedicine A Taste Of Her Own Medicine]], cheerfully taking all the credit for saving Théo when the sculptor thanks him for it, even though Scarlet had actually rescued him on her own.
204	* Marigold not only performs the dragon-taming feat that Ladybug did in canon, but she also picks up both Chat Noir ''and'' Scarlet Lady for the ride.
205	* Marigold drops off the others at the top of the Eiffel Tower, gets Fang the Dragon stuck in the tower, and gets back to the others extremely fast, so much so that Scar is shocked when Marigold pops up and points to her newly created Lucky Charm with an idea for how to use it
206	* Jagged has enough of Roth's crap, so he threatens to quit and go find another company that truly appreciates him. This immediately gets Bob Roth to back down and acquiesce to Jagged's demands.
207	[[/folder]]
208
209	[[folder:Princess Fragrance: Tales of Rose the Princess]]
210	* [[CurbStompBattle Marigold single-handedly defeats all of Princess Fragrance's minions]], including [[BadassNormal Kagami]]. Moreover, unless she detransformed and fed Pollen offscreen, she did it ''without'' using Venom.
211	* Scarlet Lady steps up and quickly prevents Princess Fragrance from dosing the city with perfume.
212	* Marigold uses the Lucky Charm (a balloon to plug the perfume gun) and a quick Venom to paralyze the villain. She's in no mood to fool around.
213	* After three seasons of seeing [[NominalHero Scarlet Lady]] as the "absolute worst" and [[ThePowerOfApathy her sheer irresponsibility]], culminating in Tikki's incredibly poor health, [[BewareTheNiceOnes Marinette has had enough]]. [[TranquilFury As Marigold]], she invites Chat Noir, [[OOCIsSeriousBusiness who notes she sounds a bit off]], to talk that night after the akuma battle and [[WhamLine doesn't mince words regarding her goal moving forward]].
214	-->'''Marigold''': Chat Noir. We need to talk about [[GodzillaThreshold taking the earrings from Scarlet Lady]].

217	!!Season 4
218	[[folder:Despair Bear: Tales of Jean the Butler]]
219	* After three seasons of seeing Chloé at her worst, coupled with her latest stunt of getting everyone (except herself, of course) in trouble, Adrien finally tells her off with a well-deserved TheReasonYouSuckSpeech and [[https://zoe-oneesama.tumblr.com/post/674027891434176512/and-here-comes-adrien-agreste-oh-no-hes-got-a breaks off his friendship with her]]. The look on Chloé's face is ''immensely'' satisfying.
220	** He gets even more awesome points later in the episode when he makes it clear that he knows that the only reason that Chloé threw the party was because she is trying to suck up to him and that it is ''not'' working.
221	** When Chloé laters asks if he forgives her, he tells her straight to her face that he ''[[BluntNo doesn't]]'' ([[IRejectYourReality not that she's willing to properly acknowledge it]]).
222	* Jean clearly knows how Chloé rolls and manages to get her to behave by using Mr. Cuddly as a tool.
223	[[/folder]]
224
225	[[folder:Sapotis: Tales of the Césaire Twins]]
226	* Nino racing across Paris trying to save his young brother from the titular akuma is certainly admirable, especially when you remember that he's willing to try to fight the akuma hoard himself despite having neither powers nor a supersuit to protect him. Well, no powers or suit until Chat Noir gives him the Fox pendant, allowing him to debut as Fox Trot!
227	* A minor one when Scarlet Lady grabs the SmartBall and notes how strange it is that [[SayingTooMuch Chat Noir and Marigold know that the butterfly is in the hat of the original Sapotis, but not the clones]]. She immediately dismisses it as unimportant, though.
228	* It only takes Marigold a few seconds to write down a comprehensive list of items she needs to make the latest Lucky Charm work.
229	* Nino as Fox Trot not only gets to create an illusion to stop the Sapotis, but he also gets to rescue his little brother in person, winning him as his first fan.
230	[[/folder]]
231
232	[[folder:Anansi: Tales of Nora the Martial Artist]]
233	* Adrien reveals how experienced he's gotten at rebelling against his father when he gets Gabriel to cave by showing off [[RunningGag his collection of hair dye]].
234	* When Nora challenges Nino to an arm-wrestling contest to prove he can take care of Alya, he accepts the challenge along with Alya, Adrien and Marinette. The four friends work together to beat Nora, declaring their intention to stand by each other and protect each other with ThePowerOfLove and ThePowerOfFriendship, showing just how close they all are. It's quite [[SugarWiki/HeartwarmingMoments Heartwarming]] too.
235	* When Alya hears that Marigold needs to make a trip since Chat got trapped and Scarlet Lady bailed on them, she instantly offers to keep her sister busy. This is implied to be the reason why Marigold plans to offer her the Turtle Miraculous, which she gives Alya on the very next page, allowing her to debut as Koki Marina!
236	* Nino records Koki Marina for the ''Ladyblog'', snubbing Scarlet Lady when she demands he focus on the real heroes by pointing out that he doesn't remember her saving him.
237	* Alya sets up two projects: one to take account of everything Scarlet Lady has actually done... and ''another'' to find Hawkmoth's identity. WordOfGod reveals her plan for the latter: she intends to find how long it took between the moment the akumatized victims started getting upset and when they got akumatized. By mapping out the position and time of each akumatization, she can then triangulate where the butterflies come from. While getting all the timestamps will be hard, if not impossible, enough data should be able to do what multiple fights can't do: figure out where Hawkmoth's lair is.
238	[[/folder]]
239
240	[[folder:Troublemaker: Tales of Penny the Manager]]
241	* Tikki gets some much-deserved payback at Chloé, [[TheGadfly gleefully pointing out]] that [[NiceJobFixingItVillain Chloé's the reason Marinette even met Jagged in the first place]].
242	* Sabine going full MamaBear on Bob Ross when he refuses to stop filming after Marinette's room ends up on live TV. If it weren't for Troublemaker making her presence known, things probably would've gotten violent.
243	* After Chloé attempts to make fun of Marinette due to her room ending up on TV and calling Chat Noir "the World's Biggest Loser," Alya proceeds to get two awesome moments in one, first by revealing she got the class to wear Chat Noir-themed clothes in order to convince everyone that Marinette's crush was a simple celebrity one, and then by revealing to Chloé that Chat Noir is now ''tied'' with Scarlet Lady in the popularity polls.
244	[[/folder]]
245
246	[[folder:Silencer: Tales of Luka the Musician]]
247	* Luka finally''[[RageBreakingPoint explodes]]'' at Chloé when he learns she helped Bob Roth and XY plagiarize Kitty Section. He even [[FlippingTheBird flips double birds]] at her as he's being akumatized.
248	* Even though Silencer has stolen her voice, Marigold manages to activate Venom by crafting a Venom-like prop with stuff she finds lying around the studio and using her prop to trick Silencer into saying her attack's name with Marigold's voice while Kitty Section jumps in and holds him so Marigold can use her weapon.
249	* Luka and Marigold trick Roth into [[EngineeredPublicConfession confessing to plagiarism in front of a running camera]], forcing Roth to offer a good deal to Kitty Section, lest they sue him into oblivion.
250	* Jagged ensures that both Roth and Chloé get some well-deserved karma: he scares the crap out of the former using a DramaticSpotlight and lets Fang eat the latter's expensive shoes.
251	[[/folder]]
252
253	[[folder:Desperada: Tales of Vivica the Guitarist]]
254	* As much of an AssholeVictim as she is, Chloé deserves credit for personally hunting down Jagged Stone and demanding that he reimburse her for all the shoes his pet crocodile ate.
255	* When Desperada aims for Luka, Marigold pulls off a BigDamnHeroes and uses her trompo to send Desperada ''flying!'' Luka and Adrien even briefly wonder whether the Bee heroine just killed the akuma.
256	* Aspik uses Second Chance to mess with Scar over countless loops, getting some satisfying payback and InUniverseCatharsis after four seasons of mistreatment. Moreover, with Second Chance's infinite time rewinds, he doesn't have to face any consequences for pissing her off.
257	[[/folder]]
258
259	[[folder:Ikari Gozen: Tales of Tomoe the Swordswoman]]
260	* Kagami manages to memorize each one of her contacts before deleting them to keep her mom from spying on her. In this day and age, memorizing a whole contact list is very impressive.
261	* Unlike in canon, Kagami and Marinette work together extremely well, easily finding all the clues even with Chloé attempting to sabotage them ([[NiceJobFixingItVillain or even]] ''[[NiceJobFixingItVillain because ]]'' [[NiceJobFixingItVillain of said sabotage]]).
262	* When Chloé attempts to steal Kagami's phone from Marinette, Kagami stops the former with an impressive DeathGlare.
263	* Kagami finally finds the courage to tell her mother off over her ControlFreak ways. Sadly, that's what causes Tomoe to get akumatized.
264	* Ryūko willingly lets herself be captured by Ikari Gozen so she can set off the bath bombs from inside the akuma.
265	* Kagami's heartfelt speech about how she'll never regret her friendships manages to move her mother enough that when Marinette suddenly appears, Tomoe just tells Kagami to be back by dinner.
266	[[/folder]]
267
268	[[folder:Crocoduel: Tales of You Two Again?!]]
269	* Purple Tigress uses Clout to punch Captain Hardrock and Guitar Villain ''at the same time''. Both Chat Noir and Viperion have a JawDrop when they see it.
270	* Juleka later uses her newfound confidence to yell at both her deakumatized parents and get them to stop fighting, which also proves instrumental to Jagged and Anarka realizing who was actually behind their breakup.
271	* Jagged ''finally'' quits Bob Roth's record company after learning the executive ruined Jagged's relationship with Anarka.
272	[[/folder]]
273
274	[[folder:Robostus: Tales of Markov the Robot]]
275	* When Marinette trips as she returns to the locker room for her bag, she does a flip and lands on her feet without hurting herself. All her friends seem impressed by this maneuver.
276	* Max implies that he found building Markov so easy, he's confused at the idea of people ''not'' being able to do so.
277	* Despite Mme. Mendeleiev refusing to let her go to the principal's office to get Markov, Marinette manages to trick her teacher into sending her there anyway by asking if Mme. Mendeleiev is jealous of the robot.
278	* Robostus showcases his abilities by not only capturing the Miraculous Team with relative ease but also managing to showcase Hawkmoth's inability to control him by turning his lair's security system against him.
279	* Max manages to free the team before Robostus can claim the team's Miraculous.
280	[[/folder]]
281
282	[[folder:Prime Queen: Tales of Nadja the Reporter]]
283	* Lila gets some much-deserved payback against Scarlet Lady when she calls in on Nadja's interview and promptly declares the Ladybug heroine "the worst" while asking her question. Chat Noir and Marigold agree but can't outright say so, though fortunately, they don't have to; Lila correctly deduces that the two's diplomatic answers are just nice ways of saying they put up with Scarlet Lady because they have to, which she gleefully announces on TV.
284	* While Scarlet Lady's motivated mainly by [[AttentionWhore not being the center of attention]], the heroes call Nadja out on harassing Chat Noir and Marigold and trying to force out a LoveConfession. All three then storm out, with Chat Noir bluntly spotlighting her unprofessional behavior and then shouting that "'''''NO MEANS NO, LADY!'''''"
285	* Speaking of Scarlet Lady, it's certainly awesome watching her accidentally reveal how callous she is to ''all of Paris'' when questioning why they have to save Alya when she could just bring her back with the Miraculous Cure, apparently having forgotten they're still live thanks to Prime Queen. Marigold calling her out just adds to it, showing Paris who the real heroes are.
286	* In order to catch Prime Queen, Marigold uses the Lucky Charm to cover the screen, preventing the akuma from seeing what's going on. Then, she and Chat Noir bait the akuma by stating they will take off their Miraculous. When Prime Queen tries to get to them by punching through the box covering the screen, Marigold quickly paralyzes her with Venom and captures her while Chat Noir Cataclysms the way out.

289	!!Season 5
290	[[folder:Zombizou: Tales of Caline the Teacher]]
291	* When Mme. Bustier brings Marinette outside to talk, she asks Alya to watch over the class. Alya promises she'll keep everyone on track. Said "track" involves everyone giving Chloé massive and very well-deserved {{Death Glare}}s, leaving her sweating buckets.
292	* When Bustier starts with the whole "Chloé is someone you should forgive because she doesn't know how to be a good person" speech, Marinette finally blows her top and [[https://zoe-oneesama.tumblr.com/post/704920819382501376/this-wall-of-text-is-called-the-author-getting-her angrily points out everything wrong with that sentence]] in her most scathing TheReasonYouSuckSpeech yet.
293	* Sabrina gets payback for everything she's had to deal with from Chloé by going for the jugular and [[FreudianExcuseIsNoExcuse telling Chloé she tries to ruin other people's birthdays because her mother Audrey never remembers Chloé's own]]. Chloé has no response other than storming angrily out of the classroom.
294	* When Zombizou attacks the class, the class all throw their backpacks at her in order to buy themselves some time so they can escape.
295	* Juleka ends up punching out one of the zombies when they go after Rose.
296	* After getting kissed, Chat Noir spends his last moments holding off the zombie horde, giving Marinette the time she needs to escape and save the day.
297	* After succumbing to stress while transformed as Marigold, Marinette unlocks a brand-new power, Bee Balm, with an updated suit! Moreover, Bee Balm's effects are essentially a low-tier Miraculous Ladybug, allowing Marigold to dispel some of the effects of the akumas. Fortunately, that's all that's needed for Marigold to cure the zombies and paralyze Zombizou with Venom.
298	* Marinette tells the class that she "went off" on Mme. Bustier, causing their teacher to be akumatized. To her surprise, the whole class ''congratulates'' her for standing up to Bustier when their teacher was letting Chloé get away with bullying people again. Some even admit that they, too, have had problems with Bustier in the past but were afraid to speak out against the "nice" teacher; Marinette finally calling Bustier out on her inaction has given them the courage to also voice their true opinions about their teacher.

301	[[folder:The Mime: Tales of Fred the Performer]]
302	* Despite having had a fear of akumas ever since Stoneheart, [[CowardlyLion Mylène steps up to the plate and agrees to become a temporary hero to save her dad]].
303	* Ultimutt (Mylène with the Dog Miraculous) defeats the Mime with a fantastic GuileHero stunt. After distracting him with a game of back-and-forth miming, she pretends to mime the throwing of a ball... but instead hits his hat with her real ball, allowing a Fetch of the hat and the akumatized object hidden inside it. Doubles as a funny moment.
304	[[/folder]]
305
306	[[folder:Gorizilla: Tales of ____ the Bodyguard]]
307	* When Marigold jumps to save Adrien, she does so by pulling him towards her with Scarlet Lady's yo-yo and then quickly throwing the yo-yo again to hook it to a safe place, allowing them to descend safely. And she manages all this as they're free-falling from Gorizilla's hands.
308	* During the denouement, Adrien shuts down his father's attempts to {{Gaslight\|ing}} him into blaming himself for what happened by bluntly reminding Gabriel that he ''did'', in fact, try asking his father for permission to go see his mother's movie, only for Gabriel to completely ignore him. He also points out that he has no reason to trust his father, either, declaring, "you've never given me a reason to."
309	[[/folder]]
310
311	[[folder:Sandboy: Tales of ____ the Sleepwalker]]
312	* When Nightmare!Chat attempts to attack Marinette, [[BewareTheNiceOnes Rose]] leaps into action with a kick to his face and begins handing him a CurbStompBattle, even though she was struggling to deal with her nightmares all on her own just a moment ago. She's later seen [[WrestlerInAllOfUs holding Nightmare!Chat Noir down with a Boston crab]].
313	* Sandboy becomes the first of Hawkmoth's victims to deliberately destroy their own akumatized object.
314	* When Chloé tells Tikki that she doesn't want the Kwami to find Hawkmoth, Tikki gives her holder a looming DeathGlare and makes it clear that she's ''fed up'' with Chloé's egoism. This actually makes Chloé ''stammer''.
315	[[/folder]]
316
317	[[folder:Reverser: Tales of Marc the Writer]]
318	* When Chloé tries to make a big entrance to show off her "revolutionary" artwork, Alix quickly punctures her ego by mockingly asking if she brought in yet another collage of selfies. Everyone laughs at the bully in response.
319	** Chloé then tries to knock the club down a peg by claiming their work is bad. Juleka and Marinette, however, quickly shut the bully's attempts down pointing out their work has gained celebrity recognition and asking why Chloé herself attempted to steal their work (''twice'' in the case of the latter) if it's so bad?
320	** After Chloé leaves, Alix quickly shuts down the art teacher's attempt to defend Chloé:
321	--->'''Art Teacher:''' Well Alix, if Chloé really '''''did''''' have an art project, it's too bad we didn't give her a chance to tell us about it, isn't it?\
322	'''Alix:''' Uh, no? Why would I want her here? [[DeadpanSnarker So she can come insult everyone, take over the art room, and try to steal ideas from us?]]\
323	'''Art Teacher:''' ...\
324	'''Alix:''' Yeah, that's what I thought.
325	* Reverser manages to successfully hit ''all three'' heroes with his paper airplanes, ensuring a massive advantage for the akuma.
326	* Nathaniel [[BigDamnHeroes pulls the three heroes out of the Seine using Scarlet Lady's yo-yo]].
327	* When Master Fu wants to see Chat Noir alone, he does so by pretending that he needs help walking up the stairs. Even though Reverser has made Chat scared of everything, the Cat hero ''still'' helps Master Fu because Marigold is currently too clumsy and Scarlet Lady and Nathaniel don't know who the Guardian is.
328	* Even though Nathaniel thought that only being able to create one item at a time as Caprikid wasn't as good as his powers as Evillustrator, he makes it count by using Genesis to create a jetpack and then flies Chat Noir towards Reverser's glider--allowing the Cat hero to use Cataclysm on it--before rescuing Marc.
329	* Nathaniel draws Ziggy a picture of himself as Caprikid alongside the Kwami in a very short space of time and with no references.
330	* The art teacher subverts the AdultsAreUseless trope commonly found in the canon show and even the comic by banning Chloé from the art room and any future activities for destroying Marc's notebook, even as she fruitlessly makes the ''technically'' [[JerkassHasAPoint correct point that she wasn't on campus when she did so]].

332
333	[[folder:Party Crasher: Tales of Wayhem the Fun Guy]]
334	* Fu, under the guise of Adrien's tutor, arrives at the manor for a project that he and Adrien have been working on: a list of suspects for both the identities of [[BigBad Hawkmoth]] and [[VillainProtagonist Scarlet]] [[VillainWithGoodPublicity Lady]]. He's also pinpointed Scarlet Lady as someone in Adrien's school, explaining to Adrien that it's where she would have had the greatest opportunity to steal the earrings from the rightful owner. The vice is getting tighter around the thief...
335	* After the girls get the texts from the guys of their various excuses for skipping out on tree planting, Lila and Sabrina are ''instantly'' able to pick up on the fact they're lying, with Lila pointing it out while Sabrina laughs.
336	* Marinette "fights like a girl" the way Lila showed her, [[PassiveAggressiveKombat guilt-tripping all the guys]] as "Marino" by mentioning how hot it is outside and how mad Gabriel will be when he inevitably finds out about the party, as well as singing [[Music/NakedEyes "Promises, Promises."]]
337	-->'''Luka:''' Girls fight '''''hard.'''''\
338	'''Captions:''' They'll destroy you from '''within''' if you're not vigilant.
339	* With some encouragement from Fu, Ivan realizes that he should've spoken up from the beginning about how bad an idea this party was and soon afterwards calls Kim out for still not getting that the party is now out of control and that they completely ditched the girls.
340	* When Party Crasher nearly hits Marigold and Chat Noir, Ivan and Kim manage to pull them out of the way, respectively. Kim also manages to give Chat Noir an idea on how to defeat the akuma!
341	* After Party Crasher traps all the temporary heroes, King Monkey debuts by using Uproar to disrupt the akuma's power and destroys his disco ball, freeing everyone. Then, when Party Crasher tries to come back for another try, Minotaurox forces him back with Resistance, giving Marigold the time she needs to craft a plan that puts together everyone else's powers.
342	* After Party Crasher is dealt with, Alya confides in Marinette about how her research points to Gabriel being Hawkmoth. While Marinette raises her doubts due to his akumatization, Alya reminds her that adults have very little defined limits on their Miraculous powers. Moreover, they have no idea what the Butterfly's full potential is. All this, plus the discovery that the man's house uses more power than a nuclear reactor, makes it appear the blinds on Gabriel's cover-up are starting to unravel, meaning Hawkmoth's reign of terror may soon be coming to an end.
343	* The last bonus panel shows the girls forcing the guys to make up for the tree-planting they ditched earlier.

345
346	[[folder:Frozer: Tales of Philippe the Ice Skater]]
347	* Marinette and Adrien ask each other out in spite of their fears of being wrong about each other's identity.
348	* Both Luka and Kagami turn out to be excellent ice skaters. Not only that, but it's implied Luka's never had formal lessons while Kagami is confirmed to have learn how to skat simply from watch the ''Manga/RanmaOneHalf'''s Skating Arc.
349	[[/folder]]
350
351	[[folder:Frightningale: Tales of Clara the Pop Star]]
352	* When Chloé tries to protest Clara's exclusion of Scarlet Lady from her "Heroes of Paris"-themed music video, Lila immediately steps up and dresses her down, pointing out that Scarlet Lady is nowhere near the hero Chloé claims she is ''and'' citing multiple pieces of evidence to back her argument up. The next page also has several other people calling out how useless Scarlet Lady is, making it clear that her VillainWithGoodPublicity status is gone and Paris knows that Chat Noir and Marigold are the ''true'' heroes of the city.
353	* Like in canon, Chloé forces her father to try and cancel the shoot. However, here, Sabrina ''immediately'' stands up to them, poking holes in André's attempts to enforce the "rule" about the missing permit, correctly deducing he made it up on the spot, and pointing out that Clara's massive fanbase will turn on him in an instant once they find out what he tried to do. It's not enough to prevent Clara's akumatization, but it's amazing to watch her shut down her former "friend's" tantrum.
354	* Lila and Sabrina's first instinct when Frightningale attacks is to protect Adrien and Marinette, respectively, and then to go out to find the others.
355	* Alya saves Master Fu from being hit by Frightningale's attack and manages to do improvised rhyming to avoid being frozen before deciding to take advantage of her current situation by shielding other people from the akuma. If she's already been hit, there's no harm in her being hit again. Fu even responds to Wayzz, "She'd make a better shield with a '''suit'''." Marinette's clearly not the only person who's impressed Fu with her heroism!
356	* The temporary heroines manage to work together and use their powers in inventive ways to put on an impromptu concert that's good enough to divert Frightningale's attention from Chat Noir and Marigold.
357	* Purple Tigress manages to knock Frightningale out by hiding her use of Clout in her song. [[TheMillstone Had Scarlet Lady not interrupted the plan the girls had crafted]], they could have won right there.
358	* Koki Marina manages to save Scarlet Lady from getting hit point-blank by Frightningale's attack with less than a second to react. Too bad the Ladybug heroine [[UngratefulBitch isn't the least bit grateful]].
359	* Due to Scarlet Lady screwing up the temporary heroines' plan, Marigold and Chat Noir decide to bring two new heroes on the scene: Sabrina (who becomes Comousiner) and Lila (who becomes Fenice).
360	* Fenice uses her power, Sublimation, to give herself the ability to [[RhymesOnADime always speak in rhyme]], thus ensuring that she can fight the akuma without risking being TakenForGranite by the latter's power. She proceeds to drive Frightningale up the wall by always having a rhyme ready, eventually driving her off towards the stage... and straight into Comousiner's trap, rendering the akuma unable to defend herself. Bonus points for Marigold and Comousiner joining in on the rhyme when they break the object.

362
363	[[folder:Malediktator: Tales of André the Mayor]]
364	* A minor one but when the rest of the class are wary of Zoé, Nino shows some fantastic maturity by pointing out that they should give the girl a chance. He cites Adrien as an example of how someone being associated with [[HateSink Chloé]] doesn't necessarily determine whether the person is a NiceGirl[=/=]NiceGuy or potentially TheBully.
365	* Zoé, despite her bad first impressions with the audience and her class, quickly proves that she's nothing like her sister and has quite a couple heroic moments despite being a powerless civilian (for now, at least).
366	** Zoé is willing to [[TakeMeInstead go with Malediktator]], whose brainwashing powers she has already seen, just to make him stop attacking the school.
367	** Zoé gets a second moment when she takes the wind out of Scarlet Lady's sails by pointing out that not only did she not know who she was before that day (meaning she couldn't defend her during Chloé's project), pretty much ''everyone'' in New York was a superhero, so she doesn't really keep up with international heroes.
368	* The chapter ends with a bomb as Alya ''finally'' publishes her exposé on Scarlet Lady--and Gabriel prepares for what he expects will be his victory.

371	[[folder:Style Queen: Tales of Audrey the Fashion Critic]]
372	* WordOfGod reveals that [[https://zoe-oneesama.tumblr.com/post/734561751187750912/how-many-of-the-class-dresses-were-made-by Marinette made the outfits for most of her friends]] (Aurore, Mireille, and Kagami had their own hookups or already had dresses), and they're good enough that Clara Nightingale thought ''Gabriel'' designed them.
373	* When Marinette's hat lands at Audrey's feet, the critic doesn't say anything, but in spite of her daughter's taunts, it's clear that she's impressed.
374	* When Style Queen threatens to turn her into a statue, Zoé quickly improvises a suggestion to avoid that fate and also comes up with a way to get Marigold's attention by telling Style Queen that bringing the TakenForGranite Adrien and Chloé to a public place will catch Gabriel Agreste and Scarlet Lady's attention. Of course, Marigold already knows, but Zoé's ability to improvise is impressive.
375	* As Style Queen makes her demands, Alya is staring at the akuma with a determined expression, implying that she's more than willing to step up to help once again. Additionally, it's noted that Alya somehow managed to catch up to the akuma, who was moving so fast that she made Zoé feel sick.
376	* Marigold single-handedly saves the day by using Bee Balm to free Adrien and Chloé before running away with the former in her arms. She manages to stay ahead of Style Queen's attacks and eventually doubles back and uses Venom on the akuma while giving Style Queen a BigShutUp
377	* Marigold and Adrien confirming to the other that they figured out the other's identity...and then sealing it with a BigDamnKiss.

381	* Marinette detransforming in front of Adrien, just to confirm to the both of them that they are aware of who the other is.
382	* Audrey asks who created Adrien's hat, and Marinette states it's hers. Audrey not only states that her work is ''exceptional'', she also says that feathers will be a trend soon!
383	* When Chloé snaps about her mother wanting to take Marinette to New York over her and proclaims she's just as exceptional as Marinette, Audrey wastes no time in pointing out that Chloé ''isn't'' exceptional in any stretch of the imagination and proceeds to list some of her recent failures (which were all the result of Chloé attempting to beat or show up Marinette, too, not that Audrey knows that).
384	* Chloé tries to publicly brag about her "superhero" identity, only to discover that it's not the bragging point she thought it was.
385	** Alya publicly rejects her offer for an interview while Nino recalls that she was planning to abandon the city to Hawkmoth just because no one liked her video for a class project, sparking the rest of the city to start calling her out and demanding she hand her Miraculous over to Chat Noir and Marigold.
386	** Remember back in ''Sandboy'' where Chloé's biggest fear as Scarlet Lady was the city turning on her and telling how the heroes were more popular than her? That nightmare has become a reality and is [[CatharsisFactor greatly satisfying]], especially as the whole thing is her own damn fault for being a self-centered {{Nominal Hero}}ine throughout the entire series.
387	* Chloé's akumatization into Queen Wasp actually makes the usually lazy teenager into an actual threat. She has her mind-controlled minions and bees take the initiative, searching the streets for Zoè, Marigold, and Chat Noir, and she's proven to be willing to get her hands dirty when needed, such as having her wasps throw cars at Marigold and flinging Chat Noir away when he tries to sneak attack her. Gabriel certainly made the right choice in akumatizing her.
388	--> '''Marigold:''' Why does she fight better when she's evil?!
389	* Zoé manages to avoid detection by hiding in a trash can and reach the ''Liberty''.
390	* Marigold and Chat Noir are at first horrified when they see Zoé surrender to Queen Wasp. Then they find out that Zoé gave the Ladybug Miraculous to Alya to give to them; she is making a HeroicSacrifice to buy the heroes time to plan how to use the power. It pays off when Queen Wasp is caught by surprise by the heroes while she's still trying to find the earrings on Zoé.
391	* Marigold finally puts on the Earrings that had always meant to be hers - and uses Unification to wield the powers of the Ladybug and the Bee at the same time.
392	* Once Ladygold gets the Lucky Charm, she quickly comes up with a plan: put the snorkel on Queen Wasp so they can pull her into the water, and take advantage of the sudden change of battlefield to paralyze her with Venom. And, since they don't know where the butterfly is, they just rip everything apart.
393	* Before Audrey starts to leave for New York on her helicopter, Marinette arrives and rejects her offer to her face for being a BadBoss. It's topped off by her allowing Zoé to give her a ''very well-deserved'' TheReasonYouSuckSpeech for being an [[AbusiveParents inattentive]], [[ItsAllAboutMe condescending]], [[{{Jerkass}} and obnoxious asshole]] to both her and Chloé -- who's ruined her whole life acting like her mother -- before letting her know she's not going to abandon her half-sister just because Audrey will. Surprisingly, Audrey actually gets the message and tells her pilot to stop the chopper.
394	-->'''Zoé:''' [[ArmorPiercingQuestion Why don't you love us, Mom?]]\
395	'''Audrey:''' '''Buh--!''' Of course I l-love you! [[BlatantLies I just... show it in different ways.]]\
396	'''Zoé:''' Like, ''[[MaliciousMisnaming not remembering our names]]?''\
397	'''Audrey:''' I--I remember '''exceptional--'''\
398	'''Zoé:''' Oh, what does being "exceptional" even '''mean''', Mom? Having talent? Or just being an '''ass?'''\
399	''(Audrey is left in StunnedSilence with a JawDrop)''\
400	'''Zoé:''' Chloé's ruined her '''whole life''' by [[IrritationIsTheSincerestFormOfFlattery trying to emulate your "exceptional" example]], [[AllForNothing and for what]]? [[FantasticallyIndifferent You don't even care]]! Well, '''I'm''' done following your example! I'm not leaving Chloé alone just because it'd be more convenient. But go ahead and fly off like the [[SarcasmMode "exceptional"]] parent you've always been.

403	[[folder:Catalyst: Tales of Nathalie the Assistant]]
404	* When Bustier suggests Zoé to organize a party so the class can celebrate Chloé's work as Scarlet Lady, Zoé immediately stops her right there:
405	--> '''Zoé''': ''(flatly)'' [[NoJustNoReaction Yeah, I'm not doing that.]]
406	** Zoé then proceeds to pick apart Bustier's entire methodology, pointing out that [[TheUnapologetic Chloé]] doesn't feel a ''scrap'' of remorse over her actions and that all Caline will accomplish by forcing the class to cater to their bully is driving a deeper wedge between them while reinforcing Chloé's spoiled and selfish attitude. She also reveals that she's speaking from personal experience, [[WhamLine having been bullied herself]]. And the best part? All Caline can do is stammer at Zoé's logic while outside, the whole class has been brought to tears by the sight of someone actually standing up for them.
407	* Zoé SpottingTheThread on the flaws in Hawk Moth's illusion of Marigold and Chat Noir, pointing out that since Marigold has the earrings, she would be using them and not the Bee. And when people start telling her she doesn't know enough about the Akumas to make the call, Lila, Alix and Sabrina back her up, followed by Marinette and Adrien joining in as well.
408	* Mme. Bustier and M. Damocles protect their students from the red Akumas while encouraging them to show no fear.
409	* Alya and Nino keep the Akumas away from them by sheer force of will.
410	* Nora has been nonchalantly smacking down every Akuma that dared to enter her family's home.
411	* When Scarlet Moth calls out to Chat Noir to give up the Miraculouses, Vesperia mocks him for showing his hand, and the five teen heroes tell him to BringIt!

415	* In a lovely meta touch, the header image for the episode is [[https://zoe-oneesama.tumblr.com/post/745689467382284288/ animated]], transitioning back and forth between a purple suit based on Hawkmoth's usual attire and a [[RedAndBlackAndEvilAllOver red and black ensemble]] symbolizing Scarlet Moth.
416	** And, after TheReveal in Part 18, Scarlet Moth is replaced by Blue Blood, Chloé's identity when using the ''Peacock Miraculous'', with her making the same pose as in "Queen Wasp", but wearing a peacock-based dress.
417	* Ladybug, Chat Noir, Vesperia, Fox Trot and Koki Marina tearing through Scarlet Moth's army, to the point where Ladybug asks if the akumas are made out of paper.
418	* After Scarlet Moth and the Akumas [[DarkestHour manage to turn Koki Marina, Fox Trot, and Vesperia into Akumas]], Chat Noir and Ladybug escape into the sewers, where they plan their counter-attack - which begins when they free M. Cesaire and Ondine, and Ladybug uses this to purify ''hundreds'' of butterflies across Paris, telling the Parisians that the heroes are still fighting and restoring their hope, which causes Scarlet Moth's chances of Akumatizing more people to ''plummet''.
419	** Bolstered by this, the people of Paris form barricades and take the fight ''back'' against Scarlet Moth's army, giving the heroes time to fix everything. Bombshell and the Akumatized Fox Trot are quickly grabbed while Stormy Weather is distracted.
420	* Juleka and Prince Ali capture Princess Fragrance and deakumatize her with kisses on the cheek.
421	* Chris, Ella, Etta, and Manon, four ''children'', accidentally deakumatize Mylène by showing no fear of her in her Horrificator form.
422	* Sabrina and Lila capturing Timebreaker, and then deakumatizing her with ThePowerOfFriendship.
423	* It’s a bit understated, but Luka is facing Riposte ''unarmed'' and casually dodging her sword before calling the band members of Kitty Section to affectionately dog-pile her.
424	* Ondine convinces Dark Cupid to reject Scarlet Moth's power by simply talking with him and showing him she's recovered from Akumatization, losing Scarlet Moth his most effective weapon.
425	* [[AlmightyMom Claudie Kanté, Max's mother]], ''fearlessly'' faces ''both'' the Gamer and Glaciator, demanding the former to stop terrorizing Paris and get off the mech ''stat''. When Glaciator tries to get rid of her, the Gamer immediately zaps the other Akuma and does as his mother requested.
426	* When Scarlet Moth tries to attack the heroes from behind, both of them quickly dodge and counterattack so quickly they manage to take his cane and destroy it, putting a stopper to the mass Akumatization. Everyone is freed, except for André Bourgeois, his wife Audrey, and their butler Jean, who mysteriously remain under the control of Queen Wasp.
427	* Part 18: turns out, the one everyone thought was Queen Wasp was actually a Sentimonster... controlled by ''Chloé'' using the Peacock Miraculous!
428	* The heroes are now outnumbered three to two, and get beaten by the villains, who mock them for losing... until Koki Marina tosses her shield and hits Hawkmoth right in the face, heralding her return along with Fox Trot and Vesperia.
429	* Fu using the Rabbit Miraculous to quickly deliver all the other Miraculouses to their previous wielders. The stakes are rising higher than ever, and everyone will have to join the battle to finally end Hawkmoth's threat to Paris.
430	* Just when it seems like Hawkmoth will be able to sneak away in the chaos of Catalyst stealing back the Peacock Miraculous, he's confronted by the other Miraculous users, who make it clear that they, along with Chat Noir, are not letting him get away without a fight or rather a NoHoldsBarredBeatdown.
431	* When Hawkmoth arrogantly declares that the heroes are too young to understand his motivations, Chat Noir [[ShutUpHannibal shuts him down]] by calling him out for the hypocritical ''filth'' that he is, with his rage unlocking his NextTierPowerUp.
432	-->'''Hawkmoth:''' Children will '''never''' understand the motives of a man with ''nothing to lose!''\
433	'''Chat Noir:''' You're right -- I'll never understand a selfish, self-centered ''dirtbag'' like you. I'll never understand the motives of someone who tramples on the feelings of others. The motives of someone who ''uses'' others with zero regard. The motives of someone who sacrifices a '''child''' for their own, selfish goals! '''''And I refuse to understand that kind of person!'''''
434	** Chat Noir's new power, Black Out, creates a large sphere with such darkness that only those Miraculous wielders with night vision can see through... and Hawkmoth ''isn't'' one of them. As Ladybug tells the other heroes to stay alert in case Hawkmoth slips out, Chat Noir is seen ''glaring'' at Hawkmoth with GlowingEyesOfDoom, while Hawkmoth looks like he's ten seconds away from [[BringMyBrownPants requiring a change of clothing]].
435	--->'''Chat Noir:''' Oh, he'll do '''[[PreAssKickingOneLiner no such thing]].'''
436	** The heroes (Chat Noir, Fox Trot, Ryuuko, and Purple Tigress) proceed to '''''wallop''''' the daylights out of Hawkmoth, who doesn't even get the chance to fight back before he's left completely defenseless, and Chat Noir gets to rip the Butterfly Miraculous - finally revealing the villain's identity as Gabriel Agreste. Who, when he attempts to state why he did everything, [[ShutUpHannibal just gets slammed into the ground]], '''hard''', by the thoroughly pissed off Chat Noir and Fox Trot.
437	** He gets to claim later that he did it all trying to cure his wife, that he did everything for his wife and son... and Ladybug shuts him up with one question: [[ArmorPiercingQuestion What did he get Adrien for his birthday?]] When Gabriel is, of course, unable to answer, Ladybug angrily [[CallingTheOldManOut calls him out]] for his blatant hypocrisy in claiming so when he not only put Adrien in danger of Akumas multiple times, but he completely ignored Adrien at a time when he was mourning his mother's "death".
438	** And when Gabriel keeps insisting that nothing would have mattered if he had won, Ladybug just has Vesperia paralyze him, gets Caprikid to create a pen and a sticky note, and tells Pegasus "you know where to send the trash": Gabriel Agreste is promptly tossed via Voyage into the police jail with a note saying he's Hawkmoth.
