[narrating] 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.

'Cause I've got a secret.

I'm absolutely confident Ladybug and Cat Noir will definitely take back

all the Miraculous that Monarch stole.

Uh, Hawk Moth-- N-No, I mean the villain is Shadow Moth.

Uh-huh. Right. Duh. He calls himself King now.

Huh? Monarch?

Well, when I was re-akumatized, she saved me.

But no, she didn't find any Miraculous. I didn't have any on me.

But still I say, "Good job, Ladybug."

Ladybug? She's turned Paris over to supervillains.

That would never have happened with Queen Bee.

And we're back on the set of Leading Questions, Honest Answers

with our experts.

You've heard the people of Paris.

Monarch is more powerful than ever

and Ladybug can't seem to regain the Miraculous from him.

So the question on everybody's mind is,

"Are Ladybug and Cat Noir the heroes we need?"

The media has paralyzed us with fear,

but what we need to defeat Monarch is more love and kindness.

People need to follow their dreams and have more hope.

That way, we wouldn't be feeling all these negative emotions.

Come with me now.

-Everyone just love one another-- -If you ask me,

there's too much talk about Ladybug and Cat Noir

and not enough talk about my son's--

I mean that wonderful indie artist XY's new album.

Thank you for that, Bob.

And you, Mr. Banana. What's your take on all of this?

Stay peachy!

Thank you. We'll be right back after these messages.

The ties that--

[Adrien through Alliance] Cancoillotte is a cheese that dissolves fat,

keeps your breath fresh, and bestows magical powers.

Cancoillotte is a cheese that dissolves fat,

Yet you say it with such conviction.

Cancoillotte, why not?

How does this happen?

Since your father digitized you and Lila, you two have become virtual puppets.

Thanks to the Alliance ring, anyone can make you say anything.

Great, isn't it?

Runny Camembert makes your hair beautiful and makes you immortal.

-[groans] I don't think it's great at all. -Mmm.

Hmm.

-Nathalie, I need to see my father. -Perfect timing.

He's actually waiting for you in the kitchen.

My father's waiting for me in the kitchen?

I'll be accompanying you to school this afternoon.

[Gabriel] No need, Nathalie. I'll go myself.

How do you like your French toast, Adrien?

Uh, well toasted, Father.

Call me Dad.

Your school's parent-teacher conference is scheduled for today, right?

Yes, Father. I mean Dad.

Perfect.

I cleared my schedule to go with you. It's about your future. It's important.

-Um, are you sure you're feeling okay? -I've never felt better.

You know, Adrien, you and I were a lot closer before your mother disappeared.

Since then, I've spent far too much time working

and have allowed too much distance to grow between us.

Can you imagine?

I couldn't even see that you didn't want to be a model any longer.

-[sizzles] -[huffs]

[growls]

-[grunts] How do you like your eggs, Son? -Soft-boiled, Fa-- Dad.

Ask Alliance how long they're supposed to cook, will you?

Speaking of which.

Dad, I'm not really comfortable with having my face on all these rings.

That's actually why I didn't wanna be a model anymore.

To avoid that.

Do you understand?

Of course I understand, my son.

But that's the point. It's just an image. It's not you.

And since this image frees you from your obligations,

we, the Agrestes, are able to spend more time together.

But if you'd rather everything went back to the way it was before,

just say the word.

[Adrien] You're probably right.

You'll see, my son. Alliance will bring us closer.

Alliance, can you please tell us how long it takes to cook soft-boiled eggs?

For soft-boiled eggs, cook for three to four minutes.

[Adrien] Hmm.

[beeping]

Marinette, don't tell me you're late.

Late? Me? You're kidding, right? [laughs]

I miss not being able to be Rena Rouge to help you.

I miss our team of superheroes too.

Alya, I need to find a way to get back the Miraculous Monarch stole from me.

So we pretty much agree that Monarch now entrusts his akumatized villains

with Miraculous, right?

Apparently, yeah.

Except when Cat Noir and I de-akumatize them,

the villains never have the Miraculous on them.

Hmm. Then he must take the jewels right before you defeat them.

But how does he know when I'm about to do that?

He doesn't need to know.

Maybe before handing out each Miraculous,

he touches them with the ball of the Miraculous of the dog,

which brings them back in case of defeat.

But then we'd see the ball. I'd have noticed.

Hey! Hi, guys, what are you jabbing about?

Um, a new video game.

A very tough one.

-[bell rings] -[Nino groans]

I'd like to remind you there's no afternoon classes today

due to the parent-teacher conferences regarding postgraduation.

No question for me here. I'm gonna be a superhero.

I thought Ladybug couldn't hand out Miraculous anymore.

Who's talking about a Miraculous?

That's not the only way you can help Ladybug.

Monarch's gonna have to deal with a new enemy, buddy.

The Resistance.

There's a resistance starting up?

Not yet, but you can be my first recruit if you want to.

You'd be Comrade Mayo and I'd be Comrade Ketchup.

I already have a plan for our first mission,

but I can't spill the beans here.

[bell rings]

Hang on.

Your old man's okay with you eating in the cafeteria?

And he's coming to your conference?

Dude, you sure he hasn't been akumatized again?

Here. You get in line and choose what you want.

What I want? Awesome!

[chuckles]

What can I do for you, Adrien?

Doesn't it feel weird? You being on all these rings.

Well, it's just my image,

and it's allowing me to spend more time with the people I care about,

-like my father, my friends. You. -[stammers]

We can see each other outside of school too.

Yeah. I mean, we spend a lot of time at school together as it is already, huh?

This is all thanks to you, Marinette. You gave me the courage to face my father.

Hey, did I just hear Adrien say he wanted to spend more time with you?

[cheers] That's awesome!

No, it's not!

Whenever I'm near Adrien, I can't concentrate.

What if I lost my Miraculous because of love-induced lack of focus?

Don't worry. I'll keep you focused.

Eat like everything's normal.

Uh, isn't everything normal?

This lunch is just a cover, Comrade Mayo.

Comrade Mayo?

From now on, you will call me Comrade Ketchup.

Right. I summoned you to this secret meeting because--

-You didn't summon us to anything, Nino. -Of course I did.

Otherwise it wouldn't have been a secret, Comrade Beurre Maître d'Hôtel.

[sighs]

[gasps] Adrikins, come dine with me.

I have meals delivered directly from the palace.

Thanks, Chloé, but I'm already eating with my friends.

[scoffs] Whatever.

Just remember, eat like a loser, be like a loser.

What's up with the sauces?

What's up is Ladybug and Cat Noir don't have us to help them anymore.

[stammers] What do you mean, "us"?

Well, us. You, Rena Rouge, me, Carapace.

Ouch. What's the big deal?

We can tell Marinette and Adrien we used to be superheroes.

-Uh… -Uh…

It's not like we have any Miraculous that Monarch could steal from us.

The only ones who need to protect their secret identities

are Ladybug and Cat Noir, not us.

And anyway, I already told Adrien about Carapace.

[chuckles]

Adrien knew?

-Alya, did you know that he knew? -What? No, I swear I didn't know at all.

Ow! Come on, he's my best bud. I can tell him stuff.

You and Marinette tell each other stuff, don't you?

-No, we don't! -No, we don't!

Adrien, are you eating in the cafeteria?

-That's great. Can I sit with you? -All the seats are taken.

Uh, no, they're not, Marinette.

-[groans] -[sighs]

Although, technically, we are in the middle of a meeting.

-Maybe tomorrow, Lila, if you don't mind. -Sure, that's fine.

Well done, Comrade Mayo.

The first meeting of the Resistance can commence.

Please, Alliance, post this picture on all my social media accounts.

Right, all ears, peeps.

Ladybug and Cat Noir's problem is that Monarch's stolen the Miraculous

and is handing them over to his already akumatized villains.

It's like he's sweetening his yogurt to give it extra flavor.

But when Ladybug catches the yogurt, there's no honey in it.

So, the question is

how does Monarch add and remove the honey from the yogurt without anyone noticing?

Exactly. Nobody knows.

Hence my plan. We're gonna film an akumatization.

And how are you, Comrade Ketchup, gonna be in the know

when and where this akumatization takes place?

Easy, Comrade Beurre Maître d'Hôtel.

I'm gonna make it happen.

-Isn't that cruel? -Totally!

To make someone suffer just to discover Monarch's technique?

-Super cruel. -No, it's not.

You forget Ladybug always fixes everything in the end with her magic ladybugs,

and the akumatized victims forget what happened to them.

But you're gonna put yourself in danger

and you don't have your superpowers anymore.

Yes, but I have you, my comrades in the Resistance.

And, as Comrade Béchamel would say, having friends is like having superpowers.

Who-- Who is Comrade Béchamel?

It could be you, if you want it.

[chuckles, gasps]

Adrien!

Adrien! Is it really him?

Comrades, extraction!

-[fan 1] Adrien, wait up! -[fan 2] Adrien!

[fan 1] It's just a picture. Hey, take it.

Look, maybe a selfie or something? Something simple. An autograph?

The parent-teacher conferences are today.

Now, who loses their temper easily?

Who falls to pieces and loses their cool over nothing?

A teacher?

No, come on. A parent. You want proof?

Almost all of them have been akumatized at some point.

And today, we have the ideal parent.

My father?

But, Nino, he's changed.

He's making an effort, and it's the first time he's coming to school.

Has he changed for real or is it just a publicity stunt for his awesome ring?

[sighs]

[stammers] Sorry, man. I shouldn't have said that.

Seriously though, Ladybug would never approve of this plan.

You're with me on this one, right?

Well, uh, if it could help her defeat Monarch, maybe Ladybug would agree.

After all, Nino's right. She could fix everything afterwards.

You're not serious.

Adrien, are you okay with this?

[sighs] If it can help Ladybug and Cat Noir, why not?

[Nino] The Resistance council approves the plan, 3-to-1.

[parent 1] Oh.

-[parent 2] What's he doing here today? -[parent 3] Is that really him?

Sir, there's a student conspiracy to akumatize someone

in order to figure out how Monarch is using his new powers.

And this concerns me how?

You're the target.

[Gabriel groans]

Today, we'll look at preparing for your children's future after junior high.

But before we get started, I'm missing a file.

Mr. Agreste, after Career Day, your son should have given you a file

which he had to indicate his wishes for next year.

-Do you have it? -I do.

But now that my son has changed his wishes,

I still need to help him figure out what his future will be.

Please do send me the file as soon as it's completed.

[door opens]

Miss Bustier, can I just grab my organizer?

I left it in my desk.

Yeah, but hurry up and--

Uh, Marinette, why are you holding a pizza in your hand?

Oh. This? [chuckles]

It's just, I was in the cafeteria when I realized I forgot my organizer!

-[gasps] -[gasps]

[Gabriel groans]

Whoa! I am such a klutz. Such an ugly stain. Let me clean it up.

Ah! I'm so stupid. I'm only making it worse!

And I bet that's a crazy expensive suit, too.

I can't imagine how upset this must make you.

[sighs] He's tough. Phase Two. You're up, Comrade Mayo.

[knocks on door]

Adrien, are you coming from the cafeteria, too?

Yes, I forgot my school bag.

Oops!

[Gabriel groans]

Oh, sorry, Dad. You must be so angry. I'm sorry. I'm so sorry.

It's not working. He's resisting. Quick. Phase Three,

-Comrade Beurre Maître d'Hôtel! -No way, man.

Come on, for Ladybug and Cat Noir.

[sighs]

[knocks on door]

Uh-- Alya, you're not going to--

Oh, yes, I am.

-[Gabriel grunts] -Oh, am I clumsy?

[grunts]

Yes. Come on, come on.

-Come on, Adrien. We're going home. -Uh, aren't you super annoyed?

Or absolutely furious?

A bit upset, at least?

I am. By the level of this school, the behavior of its students,

and the lack of dietary quality of the cafeteria.

As for your question, Miss Bustier, I already have the answer.

As far as his future is concerned, Adrien will never set foot

in this school again.

Comrade, he's going to transform! Hold him back!

-We need more cream, ketchup, mustard! -I told you this plan was bad.

All we've achieved is getting rid of your BFF.

At best, he's the one who's gonna get akumatized.

You see, Alya? I'm a curse for Adrien.

All this proves is that I'd better stay away from him.

No, what it proves is that we need to make up for this disaster

by apologizing to Mr. Agreste, and on the double, comrades!

[Alya pants]

-Dad, I-- -Father.

[Adrien grunts]

Go to your room, Adrien.

Nooroo, dark wings rise!

Trixx, your power is now mine.

Mirage!

[ringing]

-Adrien, we're outside your house. -Let us talk to your father.

We'll explain everything to him and make things right.

That's nice of you, but talking to him now would only make things worse.

Wait.

[clanging]

[Gabriel] Emilie! I tried to change,

-but nothing has changed! -[Nino] Do it!

-[Gabriel] I tried to free him from his… -A Megakuma! The plan is working.

-[Gabriel] …it didn't make him happier. -Film, comrade, film!

[Gabriel] Whatever I do as a father is a failure!

-I'm not made for this. -[Nino] Go ahead, Comrade Mayo,

otherwise all this will have been for nothing.

Yes, Monarch.

I'll do anything to get revenge on my son's friends who pushed me over the edge.

I will bring you back Ladybug and Cat Noir's miraculous.

[grunts]

You're going to give me a Miraculous power to help me with my mission?

Oh, thank you, Monarch.

[all sigh]

I've been given the power of teleportation.

Now I'll be able to trap them.

-We got it, Comrade! -Go and take cover, Adrien!

-I didn't see anything specific. -Don't worry. We got the video.

We'll analyze it while Ladybug and Cat Noir save your dad.

My father's really furious.

Plagg, claws out!

I'll make nice and quiet children out of you.

Get ready to join my collection.

[Nino] Comrades, dispense!

[Marinette panting]

I hope this won't all have been for nothing.

Tikki, spots on! Yeah!

[laughing]

-[Ladybug grunts] -[Collector grunts]

Careful. He's got the power of voyage. He'll try to trap you with it.

Thanks!

Comrade Ketchup, at your service, Cat Noir and Ladybu-- [screams]

[Ladybug grunting]

[Collector grunts]

-[panting] -[Cat Noir grunts]

Voyage!

[Cat Noir grunts, sighs]

Monarch gave him the power of the Miraculous of the Horse!

If Collector has new apps to play with on his tablet, this isn't gonna be easy.

-[gasps] -[Collector grunts]

Cat Noir!

I've been given the power of teleportation.

I've been given the power of teleportation.

-[grunts] -[Cat Noir] Watch out.

[both gasp]

You are going to upgrade my collection with your Miraculous.

[both grunt]

How many times have you used the Power of Illusion to fool me,

Ladybug and Cat Noir?

Today it's my turn.

Pollen, Mullo, Kaalki, your powers are now mine.

[sighs]

The power of sublimation.

This will allow me to acquire the power of my choosing.

Orikko, your power is now mine.

Ah!

I know what you're hoping for, Kwamis.

You're hoping I'll lose control of my power,

but I didn't become Monarch for nothing.

I can accumulate up to five Miraculous powers now.

You'll never see your beloved guardian again.

Voyage! [grunts]

Venom!

Multitude!

You might be able to evade one hit or two, but eight?

I don't think so.

Especially if you don't see them coming.

Sublimation, power of invisibility.

[grunts]

We'll never catch him!

Lucky charm!

Shredded cheese?

Plagg would be happy.

[gasps]

[Collector] Voyage.

[both grunting]

[grunts]

Huh?

What are you afraid of? There's nothing…

visible.

Got it!

[grunts] Lunch time!

[gasps]

[grunting and shouting]

[Monarch] Unite.

Ladybug, you can't save me. I wanted to change out of love for my son,

but I only continue to disappoint him.

It's not too late. Anyone can change. Let go of your anger. Reject the Akuma.

I'm sure your son loves you and will forgive you.

[whimpers, screams]

Thank you, Ladybug. You have freed me from evil. [whimpers]

-No! -[water splashes]

Power up!

Dark wings, fall!

-Milady. What just happened? -Cat Noir, I can't find Gabriel Agreste.

[Gabriel coughing]

I got. I got. I--

Look, it's invisible to the naked eye, but if I slow it down

to a twenty-fifth of a second, you can see it on one frame.

He uses a magic lightning bolt to send, and probably take back, the Miraculous.

We did it, Comrade Beurre maître d'Hôtel!

I'm sorry I doubted you, Comrade Ketchup.

[both sigh]

[Nino] Mr. Agreste, I owe you an apology.

All your troubles today, the pizza, the pasta, the chocolate,

all that was-- That was a plan to help Ladybug and Cat Noir.

And it worked, dude!

I mean, sir.

Ladybug, Cat Noir, look.

Magic lightning, that's how Monarch gives his akumatized villains the power

of the Miraculous.

Hmm. Well spotted, young man.

This is a huge step forward, Nino, but you and your friends also took a huge risk

and forced Mr. Agreste to take one too.

Don't be too hard, Ladybug. They were only trying to do good,

and sometimes in order to do good, anything goes.

Then Adrien can still go to school with us, dude? I mean, Mr. Agreste.

Of course he can.

You're so cool. I mean, kind. Thank you.

It would be an honor if you would become Mr. Comrade Tartar Sauce,

an honorary member of our resistance network.

[Gabriel chuckles]

That's some awesome sauce.

-Pound it. -Pound it.

[door opens]

Adrien, I was so worried. I'm so sorry for making a public scene.

My anger spilled over again, but Ladybug made me realize

that despite my failures, I couldn't give up on us.

Father, I think I'd rather not wear an Alliance. Do you-- Do you mind?

Of course I don't. And please, call me Dad.

Our first mission was a huge success, comrades,

but just imagine if there were more of us.

A greater variety of sauces means no recipe is impossible.

Which is why I present Comrade Béarnaise, Comrade Burgundy, Comrade Cocktail,

Grand Veneur, Aioli and Comrade Gribiche.

You were right, Comrade Ketchup. Having friends is like having superpowers.

[stammers] What is she doing here?

Oh, my bad. I almost forgot to introduce Comrade Sweet and Sour.

Hello, Comrade Béchamel. I know you haven't always seen me as your friend,

but now that we're in the Resistance together,

the war's behind us, right? Let's make peace.

Everybody wants to help Ladybug, Marinette.

[Marinette groans]

I used them to give false information to Ladybug and Cat Noir.

They'll never make the connection between Monarch's powers and the Alliance.

Very well, Gabriel-san.
