## Synopsis

Chloé is now more powerful than ever and, thanks to her, so is Monarch. Ladybug and Cat Noir wonder about their superpowers, unaware that they have just fallen into an evil trap. As for Marinette and Adrien, their lives are about to change forever.

## Plot

The episode begins with Chloé, now interim mayor of Paris, speaking to Nadja Chamack in a TV interview. She restates her first decree as mayor — Ladybug, Cat Noir and Monarch are outlawed. Seeming concerned, Nadja asks her if this is going to last long, which Chloé affirms. Advised by Cerise through the earpiece she is still wearing, she retracts her statements and promises to elaborate in a meeting. She finishes by announcing the start of "Chloé's Law", which will be enforced by her police robots.

Ladybug and Cat Noir finish watching the broadcast on a rooftop and stare at the robots traversing the streets of the city. Cat Noir is determined to take action, but Ladybug is hesitant, pointing out that Chloé has not been akumatized and it would be immoral to attack a civilian. With no further ideas, the two heroes hope for authority figures to resolve the situation as they focus on fighting Monarch, and split up. Ladybug returns home and de-transforms into Marinette. Upon entering her room, she turns on the news on her computer, where multiple Parisians are interviewed. Some see Chloé as a representative of young people, others express their distrust towards Ladybug and Cat Noir, yet others are clearly disapproving of the idea of a teenager in such a high position of power. Back in his room, Adrien hesitates to call Marinette, hoping to convince his father not to send him away to London himself. Plagg reassures him that since Marinette is the girl he loves and trusts, they can always find a solution together. Suddenly, the phone rings — it is Marinette. Adrien answers and tries to break the news to her, but she quickly interjects and asks about the news. Adrien turns on the TV to see more interviews with citizens. Marinette promises to call their classmates to brainstorm a solution before hanging up.

In the restaurant of Le Grand Paris, Chloé is sitting at a table with her mother - who is evidently proud of her new position - Gabriel and Tomoe. She expresses great satisfaction with her new robots, using an opportunity to replace her butler with one of them to bring her drinks. Gabriel congratulates her on successfully banning Miraculous holders. A close-up of Chloé's Alliance ring reveals its camera function is turned on. In her Catacombs hideout, Cerise rewatches the recorded video, taking note of the briefcase used to control the robots. She praises Chloé for her performance, which Chloé uses as an opportunity to gloat. Behind her, two workers are repainting her office gold and one of them thinks the girl is talking to him. He gets immediately yelled at, fired on the spot, and removed from the room by one of the robots.

In his lair, Monarch calls Mrs. Tsurugi. They discuss their plan to exploit Chloé's new position. Monarch absorbs Pollen, Orikko, Stompp, Wayzz and Kaalki's powers, while Tomoe prepares her control briefcase. Monarch teleports to the mayor's office, where he is immediately stopped by the police robots. Tomoe, in her lab, discreetly deactivates the bots' defense mechanisms. Monarch offers Chloé an alliance, which she initially rejects, but changes her mind because of Cerise's directive. Monarch proposes to grant her superpowers in a discreet way, meaning nobody would know that she is akumatized. Pleased with the idea of defeating Ladybug and Cat Noir while keeping a good public image, Chloé accepts the offer. Monarch sends out a Megakuma from his cane, which lodges itself in the mayoral sash. Chloé is transformed into Queen Mayor, and her robots receive the superpowers of the five Kwamis — Venom, Shell-ter, Resistance, Sublimation and Voyage. Upon completing the deal, Monarch makes his exit.

Standing in front of the school, Adrien is determined to tell Marinette the truth. He makes his way to the entrance, but is surprised to see the students holding up signs in front of him. Nino tells him that it was Marinette, Alya and Mylène's plan, and the two boys praise Marinette for her skills. Not long after, Queen Mayor arrives in her limousine. She walks into school flanked by news reporters, who are entirely unaware of her being akumatized. She then encounters the event planned by the three girls — a protest to reinstate Miss Bustier and Mr. Damocles, in which all the members of the Resistance are participating. Queen Mayor tries to smear her classmates and she disavows Zoé as "the girl who is pretending to be her sister" as if she does not know her and the students as holding the school hostage, campaigning for the return of teachers who are a bad influence, with no regard for democracy. Sabrina states that they're not taking the school hostage, and Ivan and Mylene demand elections be held, to which Chloé states that people who threaten the mayor go to "detention". Caline tries to reason with Chloé to come to her senses, but she refuses to listen. Seeing Marinette and Adrien holding hands, Chloé tries to reveal Adrien's secret, but puts it off for later at Cerise's instruction.

In class, Olga Mendeleiev teaches a made-up history lesson about how ancestors of the Bourgeois family discovered gold, enabling the creation for every important human invention. Queen Mayor, the only student in attendance, is not paying attention, preferring to play with her briefcase. The remaining students are gathered outside the classroom, watching furiously. Suddenly, Marinette notices that Mylène and Ivan have disappeared, leaving behind their protest signs.

As the sun sets, Ladybug and Cat Noir meet up near the Arc de Triomphe, on top of which an enormous golden statue of Chloé has been erected. Cat Noir still wants to act, but Ladybug deters him, believing Monarch is not involved with it. The next day, Adrien meets up with Marinette and Nino on the Pont des Arts for André's ice cream, still hoping to tell his girlfriend about his upcoming departure. Marinette instead asks the boy to speak to his father, hoping he'll be able to convince Chloé to step down. Their conversation is interrupted when Queen Mayor's helicopter descends on the bridge. She informs the ice cream seller that he'll need a permit to continue his business or he'll be sent to "detention" if he does not comply. André hands Marinette and Adrien their dessert, concerned that it might be his last. Nino is also worried, since Alya promised to meet up with them, but has not shown up nor answered any calls.

Marinette returns home on her scooter, but to her surprise, she finds Queen Mayor lying on the bakery counter, eating chouquettes. The supervillain reveals Tom and Sabine had been sent to "detention" for trying to make her pay for the treats. Marinette frantically calls out for her parents when one of the police robots appears behind her. It stuns her using Venom, then teleports her away with Voyage. In his room, Adrien worries about his calls to Marinette going unanswered. He makes his way to the Dupain-Cheng bakery, but only finds Marinette's pink helmet on one of the counters. Outside, he also spots André's bike rolling along the street without the man driving it. A flyer for Chloé's mayoral candidacy is carried by the wind into his hand, and he deduces she is behind all of this.

Adrien bursts into the mayor's office, determined to find answers. Queen Mayor mocks his concern for Marinette, then threatens to reveal to her the secret he has been keeping if he refuses to become deputy mayor. Adrien remains undaunted. A police robot appears behind him, Venoms him, then teleports him away. The place Adrien is taken to is revealed to be the "detention" Queen Mayor often mentioned — a large maze-like corridor with rounded edges set up in the Parc des Princes. There are numerous large screens set up in it, which switch from a white display of Queen Mayor offering comforting words, to a red one with her being scornful. Prisoners are followed and monitored by the police robots, who promise that anyone who finds a corner to stand in will be allowed to leave, despite there not being one. Adrien and Marinette call out to each other. On their own, they both come up with the same plan: they pretend to try to destroy one of the screens to cause the robots to shoot projectiles at them, which rip the screens off the walls. Underneath the destroyed screens, they transform into Ladybug and Cat Noir. Cat Noir uses his Cataclysm to create a hole in the floor, through which he and other prisoners can escape into the sewers. Ladybug escapes by yo-yo swinging out of the arena.

Meanwhile, Queen Mayor hosts a meeting in front of the Louvre. She announces that, since she has performed so well as the new mayor, an election will not be necessary. Both arrive at the scene and call upon their powers to prepare. Ladybug's Lucky Charm gives her a pair of panties. They interrupt Queen Mayor's speech and promise to bring an end to her reign. In the distance, from behind a building, Cerise dictates every word Queen Mayor says; the villain accuses Ladybug and Cat Noir of not respecting democracy, yet the vast majority of the attendees agree with Cat Noir that they don't want Chloé as the mayor. The heroes jump into action, but are taken by surprise and trapped in two Shell-ters. Ladybug's Lucky Charm touches the barrier and disappears. Cat Noir tries to break out using Cataclysm, but its effects are nullified, revealing the spheres have been enhanced with the power of Resistance. Queen Mayor gloats over her victory, reveals her invisible robots, and exposes herself as being akumatized. In the audience, Gabriel and Tomoe prepare to take control of the situation to seize the heroes' Miraculous.

Ladybug and Cat Noir's de-transformation timers run out — they begin reverting back to their civilian selves, though they discover the process is occurring much slower this time and realize they can resist it. Ladybug takes this time to speak to everyone gathered, thanking them for their support and encouraging them to remain resilient in the fight against Monarch. Feeling empowered by the speech, the Resistance gathers the courage to act. Right as Ladybug and Cat Noir thank each other for their time together, the Resistance get on the stage, and prepare to attack Queen Mayor. The other Parisians in the crowd soon join, breaking the barriers and running into action. In the process, the control briefcase is knocked out of Tomoe's lap. She, Audrey, and Gabriel make their escape, leaving Chloé behind, while Cerise watches from a distance. Parisians fight against Queen Mayor's robot army, some getting imprisoned. Ladybug and Cat Noir, determined not to give up, boost their powers and overcome their time limit, unlocking their adult powers much to Gabriel's displeasure and asks Nooroo about this. Gabriel and Tomoe then flee the scene and into their cars. They can use their powers many times without having to feed their kwamis.

Queen Mayor is surrounded by the Resistance. Miss Bustier snatches her sash and rips it, releasing the Megakuma, which results in all the Shell-ters breaking. Cat Noir destroys all of the de-akumatized robots one by one, then Ladybug purifies the Megakuma. Queen Mayor loses her powers and turns back to Chloé. Ladybug prepares to give her a Magical Charm, but is stopped by André Bourgeois, who promises to make up for his errors. He drags his daughter away despite her protests, with Chloé completely unware that she had been used as a pawn in her own plan. Cerise, still hidden behind one of the nearby buildings, seizes the opportunity and takes the briefcase Tomoe dropped.

Fireworks light up Paris as the students celebrate the end of Chloé's reign. They propose Miss Bustier to run in the upcoming elections. Zoé then informs them that the end-of-the-school-year party is about to begin. Marinette runs off to change. Adrien, upset at how he still does not get to tell Marinette about his departure, also leaves to prepare.

In their private jet bound for New York City (London in the English dub version), Audrey reprimands her daughter for losing all her power and ruining the family's reputation and vows to take control of her life and education. Chloé, seething, stomps off to the back of the plane, where she looks through the contact list on her Alliance. She looks remorseful when she sees Sabrina on the screen, but quickly changes her mind and scrolls to Marinette, smiling deviously.

Adrien runs back home. Upon entering, Gabriel tells him to pack his bags and refuses to listen to his son's protests. As Adrien packs, Plagg tries to cheer his holder up by pointing out his power upgrade, but it does not work. On the way out, Nathalie tells him that he cannot disobey his father, but also not to allow anyone to control his love life. As they drive to the airport, Adrien attempts to reason with his father one last time and even jump out the car, yet nothing works. Gabriel remains unfazed. Defeated and in tears, he calls Marinette, reveals the truth about his departure to London and apologizes. The girl is heartbroken, and tears fall on the charm Adrien gifted her in her hand. She decides she will not leave him, grabs her helmet and runs off.

At the airport, Adrien is lead by his bodyguard to the Agreste's private jet. Back in the car, Gabriel and Tomoe talk about their plan to launch "Operation Perfect Alliance" once their children arrive in London. Suddenly, Adrien notices Marinette on her scooter, getting chased by an airport employee. Fortunately, Placide I.T. allows him to leave the aircraft. They run to each other and share a passionate kiss on the staircase to the plane before being forcibly separated. The plane then departs as Marinette watches on.

In the post-end card scene, Marinette, with her mascara smeared from crying, arrives to the end-of-year party at the Eiffel Tower. She then gets a call from Chloé, who tries to torment Marinette by telling her about Adrien leaving, but Marinete cuts her off; she responds that she is already aware of this, but still knows that Adrien loves her regardless. She then coldly tells Chloé off, emphasizing that she has lost any and all power she once had over everyone in Paris and ends the call after calling her "ridiculous, utterly ridiculous". Chloé, shocked, begins to cry as she finally realizes that she has truly lost everything. Back in her lair, Cerise places the stolen briefcase on top of a drawn map with the Agreste mansion marked as the target. She grabs a screwdriver and begins working.

## Trivia

* Internationally, this episode first premiered in Switzerland on RTS Un.
* This is the sixth season 5 episode that is not named after the concept of a Miraculous.
	+ The concept of revolution is applied in three specific events:
		- Chloé makes a revolution by forcibly taking over as an interim mayor and using the position to impose her will and selfish rules on Paris. After making an alliance with Monarch and getting akumatized by him, she takes her tyranny to an all-new level by "punishing" those who do not obey her rules.
		- Marinette and her friends hold a strike, refusing to attend classes until Miss Bustier and Mr. Damocles are reinstated as their teacher and principal.
		- Inspired by Ladybug and Cat Noir, the Parisians rise up against Chloé and her tyranny by fighting against her and her robots. Their actions not only corner Chloé, allowing Miss Bustier to de-akumatize her, but also inspire heroes to finally overcome the detransformation time limit of their Miraculous and achieve the same level of power as a grown Miraculous holder.
	+ As well as other events where revolutions or revolts took part in other episodes:
		- "Mayura", as Ladybug and Cat Noir inspired the citizens of Paris to fight back against Scarlet Moth's army.
		- From various episodes, Adrien began to revolt against his father's rule.
		- In "Mega Leech", where Marinette and the school stood against the Mayor's oxygen project.
* This episode begins directly after the events of "Collusion". This is the first non-special episode to do so.
	+ "Collusion" and "Revolution" join "Origins", "Volpina" and "The Collector", "Queen's Battle", "Heroes' Day", "The Battle of the Miraculous", "Truth" and "Lies", "Shadow Moth's Final Attack", "Evolution" along with "Multiplication" and "Destruction", and "The Kwamis' Choice" as episodes that take place during the same day.
	+ It is also confirmed that Marinette does not get expelled as she is seen on school grounds with her classmates, meaning Cerise & Chloé's plan was null and void.
* Chloé uses the quote "Revenge is a dish best served cold", a common quote used in most media but the actual pun/idiom is a pastry and is a reference to The Godfather. This is because the Dupain-Chengs work at a bakery. Hawk Moth uses this quote in "Kung Food", "Glaciator", "Frozer", and "Feast" after his akumatized villains have been defeated.
* According to Wilfried Pain, the episode was officially ready at the time of May 21, 2023.
* The song used during the kiss between Marinette and Adrien is a remastered version of "Time" by Hans Zimmer from the film *Inception*.
* A scene where Monarch uses Voyage to leave his lair is reused from "Deflagration".
* This is the tenth time Chloé gets akumatized, following "Antibug", "Queen Wasp", "Mayura", "Miracle Queen", "Queen Banana", "Penalteam", "Deflagration" and 2 off-screen akumatizations that were revealed in "Mr. Pigeon 72".
	+ This time, she gets akumatized into Queen Mayor, her seventh akumatized form overall.
	+ Chronologically, Queen Mayor was the penultimate akumatized form of Season 5 just as Penalty was the penultimate akumatized form of Season 4 Although Miracle Queen was the last villain of Season 3.
		- Chloé also becomes the last victim chosen by Hawk Moth/Shadow Moth/Monarch to be akumatized.
	+ Queen Mayor is also the longest akumatized form in terms of duration of Chloé and overall the all akumatized villains showed so far in the permanent timeline, as she remained akumatized for days.
		- If we take alternative timelines in consideration, then this title goes to Cat Blanc, who remained akumatized for months before being de-akumatized by present Ladybug.
* This is the third time Lila (directly or indirectly) makes Chloé prompts to get akumatized following "Miraculer" and "Deflagration", and this is the second time she succeeds in getting Chloé akumatized after "Deflagration".
	+ This is also the second time Chloé voluntarily allies herself to Monarch, with the first time being when the latter was still Hawk Moth in "Heart Hunter".
	+ This is also the fifth time that Chloé has been voluntarily akumatized, following "Miracle Queen", "Queen Banana", "Penalteam" and "Deflagration".
* This is the third time Monarch transfers multiple Miraculous powers, following "Transmission" and "Pretension".
	+ For the first time, Monarch transfers powers to objects controlled by his akumatized villain instead of the villain themselves.
* This is the second time someone reuses a power previously summoned through the use of Sublimation, But unlike "Illusion" and "Deflagration", the power of invisibility is used in an akumatization.
* This is the second time people think the akumatized villain is not akumatized, following Risk in "Shadow Moth's Final Attack".
	+ Because of that, Queen Mayor is the fourth akumatized villain not to change her civilian physical appearance when akumatized, following Vanisher, Glaciator and Chameleon (Despite being a sentimonster, she would be the fifth if we include Feast).
* It is revealed that Monarch is still able to use the Miraculous powers even after transferring them to other people, as after transferring the power of Horse Miraculous, Voyage, to Queen Mayor's robots, Monarch was still able to teleport away to his lair. This ability would be seen again during the events of "The Last Day".
* A new effect of Resistance and, by extension, a new weakness of Lucky Charm, is revealed: if a Lucky Charm is touched by the effect of Resistance, then the Lucky Charm will disintegrate.
* Ladybug and Cat Noir evolve their powers further by unlocking the ability to use their superpowers more than once and remain transformed. This is shown when Cat Noir uses Cataclysm repeatedly to destroy the police robots without transforming back.
	+ With this scene it is revealed that a minor doesn't have to be +18 in order to unlock this ability but it is enough that they attain the maturity and wisdom of a normal adult and learn what it truly means to be a hero.
	+ Interestingly, this is the third time where the de-transformation of an underage Miraculous holder happens slowly following "The Dark Owl" and "Troublemaker", but they were a result of Ladybug's Miraculous being multiple pieces.
* This is the seventh time when the Miraculous Ladybug superpower isn't used following "Ladybug and Cat Noir", "Catalyst", "Destruction", "Illusion", "Intuition" and "Emotion".
* This is the seventeenth time where the Magical Charms don't appear since their introduction following "Sentibubbler", "Hack-San", "Ephemeral", "Kuro Neko", "Risk", "Evolution", "Destruction", "Illusion", "Passion", "Reunion", "Transmission", "Deflagration", "Intuition", "Emotion", "Revelation" and "Collusion".
	+ However when Chloé was de-akumatized, Ladybug hesitated to give her a Magical Charm, but André got involved and took the responsibility to correct his errors.
* It is revealed that Gabriel and Tomoe are planning "Operation Perfect Alliance", which involves some amount of Alliances being sold everywhere in the world, and all people wearing them are at their mercy. This operation won't start until they make sure their children are "safe" in London.
* This is the second appearance of the Ticket Collector, following "Qilin". Chris Hackney and other language VO's Reprise their Roles Ezra Weisz Voices the police Robots in this episode.
* Adrien finally tells Marinette he is going to London, ending a mini story arc that started back in "Pretension".
* Chloé finally faces the consequences of her actions:
	+ After spending years abusing her power, influence and privileges, she finally loses all of them, being forced by her father to leave Paris and her mother to move to New York and having all her freedom taken from her.
		- Ironically, Chloé made multiple attempts to have her half-sister, Zoé, move back to New York over the past two seasons, but ultimately ended up being exiled herself instead by André. Her last attempt was in "Adoration" but she gave up altogether.
	+ After spending years treating people as inferior and oppressing them, she is left without any friends and any type of respect or compassion from the adults that had any hope for her, like Miss Bustier and her father. Even Audrey loses the little bit of love she had acquired for her older daughter back in "Queen Wasp". She is even abandoned (and betrayed) by Gabriel, Tomoe, and Cerise, whom she considered her allies and had brought her to power to begin with, after having served her purpose for them.
	+ After relentlessly bullying Marinette for years, Chloé attempts to torment her one last time by revealing the secret Adrien had kept from her, only to have Marinette reveal Adrien had already told her. As a last confrontation between them, Marinette chastises Chloé, citing that she has lost all power over her and everyone else, and calls her "utterly ridiculous". Seeing Marinette stand up to and shut her down so harshly finally shatters Chloé's pride and spirit as she breaks down in tears, realizing that she has truly lost *everything* and hit rock-bottom.
		- This mirrors "Strikeback (Shadow Moth's Final Attack - Part 2)" in how Marinette/Ladybug reacted after Gabriel obtained every Miraculous from the Miracle Box.
			* This is also interpreted how Marinette and Chloé did this to each other, starting with Ladybug indefinitely suspending Chloé from having the Bee Miraculous, which caused her to team up with Hawk Moth, which consequently led to her expulsion from the team, losing her respect and admiration for the heroine she use to idolize, and her behavior getting worse.
				+ In retrospect, Chloé lost her Miraculous and hero status because of Ladybug's need to protect her and her family, but then threw away everything else she had out of anger, greed, and a thirst for power, whereas while Marinette lost the Miraculouses because of Felix's deal with Monarch, she still retained her friends, family, and Cat Noir due to her love, selflessness, and compassion.
* This episode marks the second time Adrien and Marinette kiss each other in their civilian form and the first time they kiss as a couple.
	+ Technically speaking (and in the permanent timeline), this is the fifth time they kiss.
		- Their first kiss was in "Dark Cupid", when Ladybug kissed Cat Noir to free him from the titular villain's influence.
		- The second kiss was in "Oblivio", when Ladybug and Cat Noir kissed before the former went to repair the damages caused by the titular villain and the two heroes regain their memories and lose the ones they made during their amnesic state.
		- The third kiss was in "The Puppeteer 2", where Marinette kisses Adrien who was pretending to be a wax statue.
		- The fourth kiss was in "Elation", where Marinette and Cat Noir share a kiss during the time they were "in love" for one another.
		- Counting the alternate timeline in "Cat Blanc", where Adrien discovers Ladybug's identity and declares his feelings to Marinette and the dream Ladybug and Cat Noir had in "Jubilation", where they defeat Monarch and retrieve all the Miraculouses, and later both get married and form a family with children of their own, they have kissed seven times.
	+ Despite being a sad moment for both, this episode also ends another mini story arc started in "Adoration" and continued in "Emotion" and "Collusion", where Marinette and Adrien can't get a good moment to have their first kiss after becoming a couple.
	+ As of now, and in the permanent timeline and in an official way, Ladrien (Ladybug + Adrien) is the only ship of the love square not to have gotten a kiss as a couple. Because Adrien and Marinette are officially a couple, that may never happen, unless they reveal their secret identities to one another.
* This is the nineteenth episode that features a post-credit scene, following "Miracle Queen", "Gabriel Agreste", "Optigami", "Sentibubbler", "Dearest Family", "Multiplication", "Jubilation", "Illusion", Transmission",Perfection", "Derision", "Intuition", "Protection", "Emotion", "Pretension", "Revelation", "Confrontation", and "Collusion".
	+ This is the eleventh not to feature Gabriel Agreste, following "Multiplication", "Jubilation", "Derision", "Intuition", "Protection", "Emotion", "Pretension", "Revelation", "Confrontation" and "Collusion".
	+ The end card is similar to "Miracle Queen" but with Marinette and Adrien with a sad expression instead of a happy sad face with Ladybug and Adrien.
* When talking to Marinette on the phone, Adrien recited the same line as his father in "Risk", about not being worthy of someone else's love.
* Chloé gets akumatized into a ruler-themed villain, just like her father in "Malediktator". Curiously, they share an akumatized object — the mayoral sash.
* This is the eighth episode in which someone other than Ladybug and Cat Noir breaks an akumatized or amokized object, following "Mayura", "Lies", "Furious Fu", "Mega Leech", "Crocoduel", "Kuro Neko", and "Pretension".
* This is the tenth time where a Lucky Charm object breaks (excluding the broken plate in "Troublemaker") followed by "Robostus", "Weredad", "Miraculer", "Psycomedian", "Hack-San", "Miraculous Paris", "Derision", "Protection" and "Adoration".
* This is the fifth time Marinette's hair is seen in a bun following "Animaestro", "Kwamibuster", "Derision" and "Emotion".
* This is the second time Marinette is seen wearing a dress following "Emotion".
* This is the third time Adrien and Marinette's lucky charms appear together in the same episode, following "Befana" and "Collusion".
* This is the sixth time that Adrien is seen crying, following "Cat Blanc", "Miraculous New York", "Glaciator 2", "Jubilation" and "Transmisson".
* Like "Miracle Queen" and "Kuro Neko", this episode also shows another parallel between Adrien and Chloé: this time, it is with their statuses and how they're disciplined.
	+ Chloé constantly used her status and power to get no matter what or how she wanted as well as due to her father constantly trying to please her he didn't discipline her enough and let things get so bad that even he admitted his daughter was out of control.
	+ While Adrien, on the other hand, didn't do such a thing as Chloé called him out for it in "Derision" and as well as calling her former friend "his daddy's little puppet". On top of that, Chloé had the freedom to go and do what she pleased while Adrien didn't. While Chloé was constantly around others, he was kept away from others so there was no one he could practice pulling his status on.
		- Even if he wanted to Adrien still wouldn't do it because he is far too kind and would probably eventually realized he could be nothing like his father as he said that in "Glaciator 2".
		- Unknown to Chloé, as of "Representation", she really had no idea how right her comment was as she like almost everyone else didn't know that Adrien is a sentimonster.
	+ Outside of that, Chloé, Gabriel, and Tomoe not only took advantage of their statuses, but also Ladybug and Cat Noir's too; more specifically, their moral code by akumatizing Chloé and making her appear normal, allowing her to slip under their radar.
* This episode takes the record the for the most uses of Cataclysm by a Miraculous holder, with a total of six times, tying it with "Miraculer" for the most uses in a single episode being second to "Cat Blanc".
* Although Chloé is one akumatized and controlling the police robots, this is the first time the Miraculous superpowers are used by an object.
	+ Technically, Queen Mayor is Chloé's weakest akumatized form and the most powerless of any akumatized villain thus far, because she alone was powerless and the robots already had the capabilities to receive the Miraculous superpowers. The Akumatization itself was just an excuse and cover-up for Monarch, so Chloé wouldn't figure out how he transferred the superpowers or suspect why her robots were capable of harnessing them.
* When Queen Mayor arrives in her limousine, the news van's license plate is called "ZAG-100-UG" and Zag is the last name of Jeremy Zag.
* This is one of the many times where both heroes transform off-screen.
* This is the only episode of Season 5 in which Nooroo speaks.
* Kim calling himself "Super Underpants" is a reference to an American comic book hero *Captain Underpants*.
* When Gabriel and Tomoe are running, abandoning Chloé, his running animation is similar to *Fred "Freddy" Jones* from *Scooby-Doo!*.
* This is the second time Marinette was affected by Venom, following "Passion".
* This is the second time Adrien was affected by Venom, following "Illusion".
* In the French dub, Chloé and her mother are heading to New York as punishment, while in the English dub, they're heading to London as punishment the French dub might be the canon version while the english version might be but it could be a coincidence or a joke.
* Caline borrows Ladybug's "No more evil-doing for you" line upon ripping up Chloe's mayoral sash.
	+ Similarly, Marinette borrows Chloé's "Ridiculous, utterly ridiculous" line to retaliate against the latter.
	+ Whenever a Police robot appears they make a sound effect where a **Swoopin' Stu/Gooble jumps in Super Mario Sunshine. (Albeit pitched up)**

* The fact that Queen Mayor's robots were able to summon more than two protective barriers using Shell-ter is an inconsistency by itself, as the user of that Miraculous superpower can only create and maintain one barrier at the time.
	+ However, it is possible that, because the robots are part of Queen Mayor's akumatization, the power of Transmission was able to boost the use of the power of Protection.
	+ During the meeting the honeycomb flower on Zoe's Shirt is missing.
* When Adrien and Marinette are kissing in the airport, in one shot, Adrien's hair clips through Marinette's hair.
* When Monarch takes the kwamis' powers, he doesn't call out their names.
	+ Also, kwamis disappear from their cages for a while.
* When Monarch transfers his powers to Queen Mayor's robots, he doesn't say the phrase "Transfer!" to do that.
* When Monarch touches Kaalki's cage to take her power, she turns into a blue light beam instead of a brown one.
* When Adrien leaves his room after Marinette is sent to detention, his phone is completely black.
* Since the scene where Monarch uses Voyage to get out of his lair has been directly taken from "Deflagration", Wayzz is seen in his cage, which causes an inconsistency in this episode.
* When Monarch's Megakuma gets out of his cane, it appears to be a purple light coming from the cane. That light wasn't there in any of the other episodes.
* Cat Noir uses his Cataclysm twice before his powers evolve: in order to escape Chloé's detention and before facing Queen Mayor.
	+ One reason that could explain this is that he detransformed and re-charged off-screen.
	+ Ladybug and Cat Noir were in earshot of Gabriel when he talks about de-akumatizing Chloé. This means that they could've found out he was Monarch.
* When Cerise is watching Queen Mayor's speech, her jacket is miscolored vermilion, which is the same color of her jacket when she was still in the identity of Lila.
* When Ladybug was doing her speech, some of the background characters don't have eyebrows.
* During Chloe's speech after Ladybug gets out of, "Detention", many characters who should have been in detention (e,g: Alya) are present. It would have been physically impossible to get to the speech before Ladybug and Cat Noir, even if they used the exit Cat Noir created.
	+ However, it is possible Cat Noir and Ladybug arrived late because they were hatching a plan.
