Chat Blanc and Ladybug episode crossover

After the Felix episode, comes Ladybug....

Adrien is more protective of Marinette now. While Chloe is vocal about her disapproval, Lila feigns joy. Still, Adrien hasn’t forgotten Lila’s role in Oniichan and ignores her now more than ever. He doesn’t even return her greeting. Adrien realizes why Marinette must be so annoyed. Lila had been claiming to be her BFF and she couldn’t use proof to expose her.

Adrien tells Wayhem the news. Wayhem is happy for Adrien and is excited to meet Marinette, but he cautions Adrien to keep Marinette off social accounts and their relationship low-key. As president of Adrien’s biggest fan club, Wayhem knows that the majority of fans will target Marinette. So he will do his best to ready them for the news. Adrien also complains to Wayhem about Lila, annoyed that she keeps getting into his personal space.

Speak of the devil, Gabriel makes it clear he expects Lila to take care of his son’s Girlfriend.

What would have happened when Lila accused Marinette? Pretty sure Adrien would have been more vocal about defending Marinette and would have confronted Lila at school. Only this time he’s smarter about it. He convinces Lila to admit she was lying and records it.

He is really mad at Lila but knows he has to be smart about exposing her because she lies too well. But her actions nearly got Ladybug akumatized. (Adrien’s heart had stopped when he saw her reach up to take off her earrings. When the akumas vanished, Adrien had hugged her in relief until Damocles the stupid had decided to proceed with the expulsion parade.)

Then he has to deal with Sentibug. Yeah, Chat would love to believe that this was Ladybug if it weren’t for the fact that she would also be cheating on Adrien. So he isn’t fooled. Ladybug soon arrives to help him.

Later that day, Adrien is forced to do a shoot with Lila once his Father forbids his relationship with Marinette. Yeah, Gabriel really wants to akumatize Marinette.

However, Adrien’s unhappiness affects the shoot (and Lila works alone for her part). The shoot ends because of Plagg’s interference once Adrien lets him out of his pocket. Let’s just say Lila got knocked into the river, the camera lens are broken, and the car door is jammed so the bodyguard can’t get out. Adrien uses the distraction to run away.

Adrien decides someone higher up should deal with Lila after he had seen the injustice the faculty had given to Marinette. So he decides to meet with the school board as Chat Noir under concern about the red butterflies and number of akumas at school. He mentions Lila’s hatred of Ladybug in Oniichan and that she is a compulsive liar. Chat also said he received evidence from an anonymous source that proves Lila framed Marinette. The school board realize that with this new evidence, Marinette is innocent.

Adrien calls in Wayhem for help. Wayhem gets the fan club to harshly critique Lila and expose her for sexually harassing Adrien.

Nathalie is doing damage control when the school board announces that Lila is going to be held back a year and suspended for truancy and framing a student respectively. After Chat’s visit, they decided to check if Lila had really been overseas. Mr Damocles has been fired for incorrect management of their students. (Yeah, punishing the whole school in Despair Bear was too much). Ms Bustier is on probation. She should have been fired too but her students like her, even if her calming exercises don’t stop her from having the class full of former akumatized students.

Gabriel abandons Lila now that she is exposed and allows Adrien to resume his relationship with Marinette. Secretly he tells Nathalie to expose their relationship, hoping the fans will cause akumas. It mostly fails because Wayhem had been successful in his endeavour to prepare the fans. After the first akuma, Wayhem points out that Adrien will never want to be with the fan who tried to kill his Girlfriend and claim him as her own Boyfriend.

When Adrien wonders why Lila would frame Marinette, she finally reveals Lila’s threat. She didn’t tell him before because she was worried he wouldn’t believe her after everyone had doubted her and casted her aside to the back. Adrien feels really guilty. Marinette claims she knows Lila is guilty because...um...Ladybug passed her his father’s book (which she collected from the trash bin Lila threw it in)

Adrien hugs her and asks her to not to be afraid to tell him anything. “I will never ever doubt you, Princess.”

Gabriel plots to akumatize Marinette some other way...after Adrien cools down. Honestly, the boy gets all his dramatics from his mother.

Nathalie: says the guy who gives monologues for every akuma.

Meanwhile Wayhem finally meets Marinette and approves of her. The trio enjoy a nice dinner together and toast the downfall of Lila.
