In the daytime, I'm Marinette.
Just a normal girl,
with a normal life.
But there's something about me
that no one knows yet.
Because I've got a secret.
♪ Miraculous, simply the best
♪ Up to the test
when things go wrong
♪ Miraculous, the luckiest
♪ The power of love
always so strong

Ladybug, ever since you became
Guardian of the Miraculous,
something has been different.
And believe me, I will
find out exactly what it is.
Tonight, Emilie, our rings
will once again be united.
I've invited
your sister and Felix.
I have every intention
of getting back
what he stole from me.
(Determined grunt)
The Miraculous are magical
jewels that give powers
to superheroes, like Ladybug's
earrings and Cat Noir's ring.
But supervillain Shadow Moth
also has two Miraculous
in his possession,
and they give him his powers.
So a Miraculous can either make
a superhero or a supervillain.
It's all riding on
who wears it.
Which is why these jewels can't
fall into just anybody's hands.
That's all for today, guys.
See you soon
and stay connected!
I hope we'll get to see some
superheroes while we're here.
That would be pretty exciting,
wouldn't it, darling? Mwah!
- (Knock on door)
- Yes?
Thank you, Adrien.
My father doesn't want me
to invite my friends tonight.
But there will be some teenagers
here, like Chloé and Kagami.
Yeah, but only 'cause
their parents are in this club.
These club members are the most
influential people in Paris.
They are very important
to your father.
And my friends
are very important to me.
Adrien,
can you leave us for a moment?
Yes, Father.
I'm having a hard time
without your help.
I realise now how many people
it'd take to fill your shoes.
You're not cancelling
the party, are you?
I can't,
the members wouldn't understand.
Also, Felix will be here
with Amelie.
I've listed everything
that has to get done.
Follow the instructions.
The important things are in red.
Check the staff's identities,
ensure the robots are set right,
and activate the cellphone
scramblers for privacy.
- Have you had lunch?
- No. Thank you.
Marinette, we've decided to ask
Marc and Nathaniel for help.
If anyone can come up
with a plan
for you to tell Adrien
you love him, it's them!
What? Are you serious?
- Yeah. So?
- So they know all about me
and how I feel about
you-know-who?
Everyone knows you love Adrien!
Even Adrien?
He's the only one
who doesn't know.
Of course,
or there'd be no story.
We chose them 'cause they're
experts in romantic comedies.
- Marc writes and Nath draws.
- Since they wrote a love story
for Ladybug and Cat Noir
in their first book,
they're sure to think up
the perfect plot
between you and Adrien.
Your story seems complicated --
- But it's actually very simple.
- It's just like a fairy tale.
Usually, a mean old witch
imprisons a princess in a castle
and a knight in shining armour
has to save her.
It's the same story,
except you're the knight,
Adrien's the princess,
the castle is his home
and the witch is his father.
I thought his father
was the king!
- Or the dragon.
- His bodyguard'd be the dragon!
- He looks the part!
- He looks more like a gorilla!
(Laughter)
The main obstacle
can be the dragon.
Or the witch. In this story,
it's Gabriel Agreste.
But Agreste has made a mistake.
He's been letting his son out
to go to school.
That's where
the good fairies come in.
- Us!
- Us!
Every week,
we'll think up a new plan,
so that the knight
can finally kiss the princess,
and they can live
happily ever after
with buckets of hamsters.
And the plan will always
take place in the only location
- the witch can't get to...
- The school!
Aha! You forgot me
in your ridiculous fairy tale!
- Ah! The terrifying ogre!
- The big bad wolf!
- The ugly toad.
- Your worst nightmare! Hmm!
But Agreste has made a mistake.
He's been letting his son out
of the castle to go to school.
Thanks to this video, I'll ruin
Dupain-Cheng's fairy tale.
Tonight,
I'll show it to his father
who'll realise you're trying
to take his son away
and make him fall in love
with a baker girl!
So he'll lock Adrien
up in his room forever
and forbid him to come back
to school. And "poof",
there goes your fairy tale.
Adrien will never see you again.
Good for him!
Thought you were happy
Adrien was at school.
He'll be better off alone than
surrounded by a bunch of lameos!
Then maybe he'll be lucky enough
to be my prince charming,
- whom I've always adored!
- He never was that, Chloé!
We'll see about that,
Dupain-Cheng!
Sabrina, ninja smokescreen!
She won't do anything.
Not tonight, or ever.
The witch, I mean, Mr Agreste,
doesn't just let anyone
- walk into his house.
- That's true, but actually,
there's a party tonight
and his friends are invited,
with their children!
Chloé'll be there.
Yeah, but so will her mother,
who's your mother,
so you'll be there, too!
You'll stop her, right?
My darling half-sister Chloé
managed to convince our mother
not to bring me with them.
Oh!
She really is a piece of work.
We just have to pretend
like we're in a fairy tale!
The knight has to go to the ball
to stop the evil Chloé
from showing the video
to Agreste!
The knight
can't get into the ball.
The ball is off-limits.
- Unless the knight's wearing...
- A disguise!
(Delighted cry)
(Takes a deep breath)
Jean Quentin, were you told
the dinner party's
no longer at Agreste's tonight?
Oh, no, Madame
didn't mention anything to me.
A helicopter will take you
over to the Eiffel Tower.
Is Mademoiselle sure about this?
Excuse me, are you suggesting
that I might be wrong?
Ridiculous! Utterly ridiculous!
Sorry,
but it's for a good cause.
The butler
is out of the picture.
The knight can take his place!
There! Perfect!
Office locked. Check.
Dining room. Check.
Accessories. Check.
Catering. Check.
- Activate scrambler... Hmm.
- (Door bell rings)
You handle the scrambler.
I'll take care
of greeting my guests.
(Grunts)
Welcome!
- Waitress in sight.
- Good luck, Marinette.
- Ahem... hi, there!
- Uh...
I'm Marino. Sorry I'm late.
I heard at the last minute I had
to take over for the waiter,
'cause he's sick.
Oh! Nice to meet you.
My name is Sarah.
Here's the deal.
It's a very private party,
with important people.
We must be invisible.
We'll only see Agreste
when he takes our fingerprints
- to check our identities.
- Argh! Check our identities?
- Was this part of the plan?
- We're just here for food prep
and serving the kids.
Robots will serve the adults.
Follow me.
Everything will be fine!
I've got the muscles.
I'll carry the heavy stuff.
Thank you.
- I'm in!
- Yes! Well done!
How come you're doing
all the work tonight?
If you needed servants, you just
had to ask us to lend you more!
Welcoming you is never work,
dear Audrey.
Mr Agreste,
I need to show you a video.
It's really important
you see this.
Whoa! Oh! Oh, no!
Oh, my phone!
- I guess you dropped this.
- Thanks...
(Manly voice)
Oh! I mean, thanks!
- Do I know you?
- Not likely.
I don't know anyone!
(Jaunty singing)
Hey! You must watch this.
Are you ready?
- (Gasps)
- I don't have time for this.
Come along now, sweetheart,
Gabriel is obviously busy.
Gabriel, I'm so happy to be able
to thank you in person
for giving our family's ring
back to Felix.
It was the sensible thing to do,
Amelie.
That was very thoughtful of you,
Father.
- Ahem!
- I can handle serving the kids.
I've always been good with kids!
I'd rather
you stay in the kitchen.
Show her she's making
the wrong choice, Marinette.
- (Crash)
- Oh, no! I'm so clumsy!
OK, you take care of the kids.
Oh, look, it's the fake Adrien!
If I was anyone else, you might
actually have me fooled.
- You're wrong. I am Adrien!
- Oh, I'm so sorry, Adrikins!
Ha, ha! You're still
just as foolish as ever, Chloé.
Mr Agreste, is now good? Do you
have time to look at my film?
All cellphones will be secured
for the duration of the evening.
Privacy is essential
when business is on the line.
(High-pitched sound)
They've got
a sound-wave scrambler!
I'm sure she can handle it.
Adrien, show your young friends
up to your room.
Yes, Father.
Felix,
may I see you for a moment?
Why did you steal my ring,
Felix?
Mom really wanted me to have it,
since it belonged to her family.
But you wanted to keep it,
so I'd planned on
giving it back tonight.
Hmm. Your mother
will be sad if you do that.
Don't worry, Uncle, she
won't know. I had a copy made.
You're an intelligent young man,
Felix.
I know each and every scratch
on Emilie's ring!
It's a fake ring! He gave me
a fake ring! How dare he?
Hey, Felix! Are you coming?
Akumatize him,
then make him tell you
where he's put the ring
and get it back.
If I do that,
he'll know I am Shadow Moth.
Who else would want that ring?
You're forgetting
how immense your powers are.
You can create
negative emotions in him
and akumatize him
at the same time.
Brilliant idea, Nathalie.
Duusu, Nooroo,
dual metamorphosis!
No one tricks Gabriel Agreste.
But you, my lovely amok,
you will deceive
that arrogant young Felix.
And thanks to you,
I will get my ring back.
You're perfect!
I need to find a phone!
He has to watch my movie!
Chloé, you heard my father.
Not during the party.
He'll thank me
when he sees what I filmed.
- No!
- I'll take care of it.
I've always been good
with young people.
I need to speak to my mother.
Um, Marino, why do you have
a cardboard box on your head?
It's to entertain
the youngsters!
Where are you Chloé?
I know you're here somewhere.
She's looking for her phone!
I won't let you do it!
What are you looking for, Felix?
You. I'd like to
get to know you better, Uncle.
It's true, you don't know me
very well at all.
Otherwise you wouldn't
have given me a fake ring.
Where did you put the real ring,
the one that belongs to my wife?
- In a safe place.
- Wherever it is,
you'll give it back to me.
How do you plan
to make me do that?
By using your powers,
Shadow Moth?
I am Gabriel Agreste, and I do
indeed have every power I need
to find my wife's ring,
including the power
to destroy your life.
I don't need to be
Shadow Moth for that.
I knew you were
no ordinary uncle.
And now you know that
I only need to snap my fingers
to make you disappear from here.
- You wouldn't dare!
- Do you want to take that risk?
Think of your mother.
Felix, I am Shadow Moth.
You've put yourself
in an unfortunate situation
by trying to defy
someone stronger than you.
But I can give you the power
to escape Gabriel Agreste.
All I ask in return are Ladybug
and Cat Noir's Miraculous.
This is impossible.
I'm not mistaken.
You were wearing Miraculous,
those jewels under your scarf,
- the brooches!
- Brooches?
- What are you talking about?
- You really think Agreste
could be Shadow Moth?
(Evil laugh)
He doesn't have what it takes.
And neither do you.
Accept the power
I'm offering you.
I'm not afraid of your threats
and I don't need your power.
Come back!
Use your anger to akumatize
the Sentimonster.
Collector. You have failed
in the task of getting that boy
to tell you his secret,
so now I give you the power
to take it by force.
- Hey! That's my phone!
- Mr Agreste,
I have to show you my video!
Aaah!
I am now The Collector,
and anyone caught in my tablet
will give up
their secrets to me!
- My phone!
- I just wanted to show you
this to hurt the baker girl
and keep Adrikins
all to myself,
because I'm a mean person!
(Gasps) Why did I say that?
And you, why were you in a room
reserved for club members?
- What secrets are you hiding?
- Aaah!
I steal people's ideas
and then I --
(Screaming)
Hide in here!
Plagg, claws out!
And you, Felix,
where did you hide my ring?
Tikki, spots on!
Hey, looks like The Collector
has gone high tech!
I preferred his book
with a limited number of pages!
I'll get him outta here.
What have you got
that he wants so bad?
- My ring.
- If it's yours,
- why take it from you?
- I don't know.
My uncle is a strange man.
Whoa! I hope that statue
takes up a lot of memory.
At this rate, the memory
will fill up pretty fast!
Stay here, Felix.
Or not.
Lucky charm!
Way to bounce back, Milady!
Wanna help me set the table,
kitty cat?
- Yum! What's for dinner?
- A Collector!
My appetite is insatiable!
You'll both be full before me.
Cat Noir, time for a rebound!
Dinner's ready!
No!
No more evil-doing for you,
little akuma.
Time to de-evilise!
Gotcha!
Bye-bye, little butterfly!
Miraculous Ladybug!
BOTH: Pound it!
- I'm so sorry, the memory...
- Of my wife made me vulnerable.
That ring
was all I had left of her.
But you can keep it, of course.
After all, I did give it to you.
Keep this magical charm with
you. It may not heal your pain,
but it'll keep Shadow Moth
from using it against you.
- Thank you, Ladybug.
- You can't imagine
how much this means to me.
Mr Agreste! Mr Agreste!
Now you have to watch my video!
Hang on there a minute.
That's my phone!
- And it's my video!
- Oh, yeah? There! Deleted!
No... No!
Now it's only my phone!
Have a nice rest of the evening,
everyone!
So, that is what's changed,
Ladybug.
I release you from existence.
Reverse morphosis.
I want to know how she was able
to create this magical charm.
I've not read anything
about it in the book.
What if the book was only
a chronicle of what has
been discovered up until now?
So that's why there are
blank pages at the end.
This means
that the power of Miraculous
is even stronger
than we thought.
As is yours.
Wow, guys, what a night!
(Laughter)
It gave an idea
for another plan, Marinette!
Nath? So, we thought --
Oh, uh, that looks
really terrific,
but the knight
in shining armour
needs her beauty sleep before
she can go on a new adventure.
Wise decision.
A good fairy-tale hero
needs to be in tip-top shape!
In the meantime,
Marc and I will a new comic.
The Adventures of Marino,
the Clumsy Waiter!
(Laughter)
A little surprise for when
you come back, my dear nephew.
