Being a superhero means, first and foremost, being able to keep a secret.

The ultimate secret being your identity.

And you've already figured out it's not that easy. Yeah, so true.

You've got to even be careful when your parents clean your room. You're old

enough to clean your own room, King Monkey.

I am?

Anyway, we've got to be prepared and ready to act in any and all situations,

even the most unexpected.

Which is why I've come up with a few safety protocols.

Um, milady? How many protocols are there?

2,782. For real? I've never read anything so long.

Isn't this a bit extreme, ladybug? You can never be too cautious.

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.

I've got a secret.

Miraculous.

Marinette, did you sleep well? Very well, thanks, Tiki. How about you?

I could use more sleep.

But your mom's birthday only comes once a year.

Oh, luckily.

Test, one, two, one, two.

Safety protocol number one in place.

How do you get up so early every day, Dad?

It's the baker's superpower, sweetie. Here, I've already prepped all the

ingredients you'll need for the Frisier cake.

I have to say, you haven't picked the easiest cake to bake.

Mom deserves the best cake in the world.

Do you really need your purse to bake?

I like having it on me. It gives me inspiration.

I'll get Mom's breakfast ready while it bakes. Here's my small contribution.

We're almost done with the pizzas. What about you? Did you manage to get

everything done?

Yep. The cake's in the oven and breakfast is ready.

Are you saying she's getting a surprise?

It's coming. Gotta go. See you later at the Shams of Mars.

Wow.

Ta-da!

Happy birthday, Mom.

Oh.

Thank you, sweetie.

I bet Uncle Wing phoned you in the middle of the night to wish you a happy

birthday as usual.

Actually, he didn't.

He usually does forget that daytime in Shanghai means nighttime here, but not

this time.

Happy birthday, Charbine. Oh, thank you. I'm so happy to see you.

That's why you didn't call Mom last night. You were on a plane.

Don't act so surprised. I'm sure you were in on it. I wasn't. Why didn't you

tell me you were coming?

I wanted it to be a surprise for everyone.

Well, mission accomplished.

Marinette, go get your uncle settled in the guest room. I'll make you some tea.

How long will you be staying with us? I'm leaving tomorrow morning. I can't be

away from the restaurant for too long.

But can't they manage on their own now?

She can, but I have my habits, and it's not easy to break habits.

Well, anyway, it's great that you're here for Mom.

We're throwing a surprise pizza party for her at lunchtime.

That sounds lovely, Marinette. And it won't be the only surprise. I have a

very special gift for Sharpie of great sentimental value. It will touch your

mother deep in her heart. Oh, la, la. I can't wait to see it. Look.

The sponge cake is ready. I've got to take it out of the oven. Another

surprise for Mom. Wonderful. I'm going to freshen up while you do that. It'll

feel good after such a long journey. Everything you need is in the bathroom

cabinet. See ya.

Can you believe it? Coming all the way from Shanghai just for one day. Uncle

Wang is so kind.

He's more like a father to your mom, you know.

Yeah, he's even brought her.

Again?

Someone's been in my room.

Maybe it was such a mom.

Or a super villain. Sticky protocol number one. Hi, Tiki.

You in my room, Mom?

Uh, no. Why?

No reason.

Is everything okay, Marinette?

Uncle Wang didn't drink his tea? No, I think he's still in his room.

It must have been a draft.

Yeah, it was just a draft.

Of course, Marinette. You're probably getting worried over nothing.

Maybe, but that's what we have to do whenever we have guests.

Especially unexpected surprise ones. As per the rules of safety protocol number

78.

Is everything okay, Marinette?

I'm okay, but the sponge cake, not so much.

I've ruined everything.

Don't worry, Cupcake. We still have time to bake another one. I'll close the

shop.

And voila!

Just in time for the party. You're the best baker and the best dad.

Get ready. I'll go get your mom.

Oh, Uncle Wang, you scared me. Hello, Tom.

How's everything?

Good. It's just going to be such a wonderful day filled with great

surprises, thanks to you.

I'll go take care of Sabine. You both wait for us here.

You look worried.

What's wrong?

Nothing. It's just that Mom can't see the cake. It's a surprise.

I, too, have a surprise for you, Marinette.

A surprise for me? I was cleaning and found this in an old chest that...

Belong to Grandma Finn.

Oh, uh... Ladybug earrings.

They're gold.

I hope you like them as much as she did.

Don't you like them?

Maybe you don't like ladybugs.

Yes, yes, of course I do.

Well, go on. Try them on.

What? Like now?

Why wait?

I'm sure they'll look great on you.

Uh, okay. I'll put them on. Sure.

But first,

I have a gift to give you, too.

That's very kind of you, Marinette, but you don't have to. Oh, but I insist.

That's me. Whenever someone offers me a gift, I always offer something in

return. It's a matter of principle.

But before we go, I have to blindfold you. Another surprise?

Oh, you're all spoiling me today.

He thinks he can trick me, but he doesn't know just how cautious I am.

There's a safety protocol for everything.

What are you talking about?

Something's off with Uncle Wang. He's acting weird.

The new butterfly miraculous holder must have akumatized him in order to gain

control of him.

If he says akumatized, where's his costume? Where are his powers? And how

could he know that you're Ladybug?

You're right. He's not akumatized. It's worse than that.

He is the new Butterfly Miraculous holder.

What? It's obvious.

He's given me earrings to force me to take off my Miraculous so he can seize

it. Or is this a gift from your uncle who loves you very much?

Earrings tape like ladybugs. Surprise, surprise. And now it all makes sense.

The music box didn't fall because of a drop. It was him. He was snooping in my

room looking for my Miraculous. Your vigilance is starting to look like

paranoia, don't you think?

Me?

Paranoid? We'll see about that. Safety protocol 8.

I'm going to set a counter trap for him in order to dodge his trap while

pretending that I didn't figure out that he was trying to trap me.

There. For you.

A cap.

It's shaped like a chef's hat for my favorite chef. That way you can wear it

outside and in the kitchen.

And I'll always look stylish.

Thank you so much, Marinette.

Your turn now.

Yes, my turn.

I can hold them for you if you want.

No need, thank you.

Perfect. Ladybugs look beautiful on you.

Thanks, Uncle Wang.

You're already taking them off?

That's a shame.

When you have them on, you remind me of Grandma Finn. I miss her so much.

Oh, okay. I'll keep them on.

You couldn't make me happier.

Let's go.

Is everyone ready?

We're due.

You'll never guess.

Am I hearing the sound?

Oh, we're taking a river taxi. We can't keep any secrets from you, my love. But

the surprise isn't over just yet. Shoot.

My surprise for Sabine. I left it in my room.

It's okay. We'll wait for you here.

Tom. Yeah? I forgot something inside. Can I borrow the keys to the building?

Mm-hmm.

It's very precious.

That's the second boat we're missing.

He's been gone for a while now.

Marinette, maybe you should go and find out if Uncle Wine needs help.

An Akumatized villain did show up to attack Marinette. She was totally right

to initiate the secret protocol.

I'm going to set a counter trap for him in order to dodge his trap while

pretending that I didn't figure out that he was trying to trap me.

Don't tell me you're late again.

Yes, but for a good reason this time.

Initiating secret protocol.

Take these to Alia. Marinette, you didn't even make sure that... There's no

time to argue, Tiki. Do it.

Tiki, butts on!

This should make for a beautiful family reunion!

You bet it will.

Tiki, tricks on!

Unify!

This is Marinette's earrings.

It means he suspects her of being Ladybug.

Marinette! Where is the surprise gift for Toppy? Uncle Wang?

Uncle Wang came specially from Shanghai to give you a very precious gift, but

it's gone because Marinette stole it. So now come food. We'll get the gift back.

That's nonsense.

I didn't steal anything.

The gift was gone from my bag, and you were the only one who knew it was there.

Let go of my daughter now. No one will stop Kung Fu from getting his gift back.

Take that!

A baker caught up in bread dough. What a tasty irony.

So, where did you hide it?

No gift in here. Only the cheap jewelry that you like better than Grandma Fenn's

present earrings.

You don't deserve my present. I'm taking it back.

Okay, he has the earrings.

Either he brings them to the new Butterfly Miraculous holder, or he is

the new Butterfly Miraculous holder.

Jewel. Lucky charm.

Lucky charm.

Pizza box?

When am I supposed to... Never mind. I'll figure it out later.

Hey, m'lady. What's on the menu today?

An akumatized chef with a side of angry.

Carapace? Trap kung fu inside a shield. And you, Cat Noir? I set Marinette to

pen-shane free.

No, wait!

Cats always do their own thing.

That's what happens when you don't listen.

Sheldon!

Unseal!

Ladybug, I'm stuck! Help!

I wish I could paraphrase, but... I have an emergency!

Sorry!

Sorry, my turtle kin. But if my illusion touches anything, it'll disappear.

Kung Fu thought he had the miraculous.

He'd know that this is an illusion and not the real Ladybug.

Cataclysm!

Hold on, Marinette.

I have to bring Ladybug and Cat Noir's miraculous to the person who gave me my

powers! He'd never say that if he knew that Marinette's earrings were Ladybug's

earrings. What if he's just poor Uncle Wang who got akumatized because of the

whole missing gift thing?

Marinette!

Let go of her or you'll regret it! I only need one hand to get rid of you for

good, scrawny cat!

And to seize your magic ring!

He plays dirty tricks on me. Please forgive the old man I'm becoming for

accusing you like this. What a disgrace.

His

rejection

of the Akuma means he fell victim to his negative emotions. Nothing more.

Marinette was wrong.

Miraculous!

Sorry, Shabby. I've ruined your birthday.

Don't worry, Uncle Wang. The day isn't over yet.

We'll have the picnic at snack time. It's no big deal.

Marinette, I'm sorry I pushed you to wear Grandma Fen's earrings.

These belong to Grandma Fen? They're so beautiful.

I really do love them. But special earrings deserve a special outfit. I'll

go change so I can wear them. You're filling my heart with happiness,

Marinette. I'm going to lie down while you get ready. I need to after all the

emotions of today.

Fine. Turned out he wasn't the butterfly miraculous holder after all, but just

your Uncle Wang. There was no need to get so worried.

Yes, I read the situation all wrong. Uncle Wang wasn't acting weird. He was

probably just tired after a long trip. The ladybug earrings were just a

coincidence, and the music box fell because of a draft.

Sorry I initiated the secret protocol over this. You can never be too

cautious, like you always say. Even though maybe you're a bit too cautious

on this one.

See you later at the picnic.

I'm sorry, Tiki. I didn't take your advice and I even snapped at you.

I don't know what's up with me. I have so many secrets to protect and it's

making me completely paranoid.

Don't worry, Marinette. This is only because you have so many

responsibilities. Don't think about it anymore. Just go and enjoy your mom's...

I'm so lucky to have you in my life.

I'm

ready

to go.

Oh, you look beautiful, sweetie.

The teapot looks so lovely on you.

Oh, hey.

I hope everything's okay with the restaurant in Shanghai.

Hello, Faye. Do you need to speak to Uncle Wang?

Huh? Why would I want to speak to him? He's right here with me. Happy birthday,

Charmaine.

I've remembered the time difference this time.

So Faye's in Paris now, too?

I don't understand. Where are you?

In Shanghai, of course.

How is this possible? Uncle Wang, you're right here with us.

I so wish I were.

But you know how hard it is for me to get away from the restaurant.

If Uncle Wang's in China, then...

Who's in the cat room?

Dad. Mom.

Don't go anywhere.

Where is Uncle Wang?

He was here five minutes ago.

I don't understand.

Who was in our home earlier?

Hello? I'm right here on the phone.

Chabin, can you hear me?

Mom, Dad, we have something to tell you. What do you mean, we?

Tiki. Show yourself!

The bot's gone!
