YMMV / Miraculous Ladybug S05E21 "Confrontation"

• Catharsis Factor: After spending five seasons as Karma Houdinis, both Chloé and Lila get smitten hard. While they both avoided expulsion, Sabrina finally stands up to them and exposes their wrongdoings. As a result, Chloé no longer has Sabrina as her servant and Ms. Bustier will stop showing her lenience, and Lila can no longer manipulate the class and has to discard her current identity.
• Fanfic Fuel: Now that "Cerise" has abandoned her Lila identity, what must Ms. Rossi be going through wondering where she is?
• Fan-Preferred Cut Content: Between the episode originally getting leaked and its release, a scene where the students apologize to Marinette about believing Lila over her was cut. Fans who know about the scene unanimously wish it had stayed in, since the students believing Lila for so long is a massive sore spot in the fandom and it would have provided some much-needed catharsis.
• They Wasted a Perfectly Good Character: Many fanfictions depict Ms. Rossi finding out her daughter's lies, rendering her heartbroken and furious to the point of seeing Lila either locked up or sent away. Here, Ms. Rossi plays absolutely no part of the story, and we never see her reaction to Lila's lies, truancy, or expulsion, nor do we see her reaction to Lila's disappearance to fall back on another one of her identities.
  • Not only that, but for the remainder of the season, Ms. Rossi is never shown leading a search party to find her supposed "daughter", nor are any of the Miracu-class kids ever shown hearing and wondering whatever happened to Lila.
