## Plot

The episode starts with Cerise watching Alec's reality TV show "*Live Your Childhood Dream*" on her smartphone. However, Alec begins suffering a nightmare of his dad cutting all of his hair. She then switches to Nadja Chamack reporting on the emergence of the Miraculized villains. Cerise then puts her phone down, puts on blue contact lenses, a dark blue bob cut wig and glasses, changes into a pink romper, and jeans takes Tomoe Tsurugi's laptop gets on her her bicycle and rides around Paris.

Meanwhile, Bug Noire, Glitter Harmony, Glitter Justice and Glitter Starlight battle Monarch as the last one comments about how the first one's outrageous luck has saved her from the many times she was about to be akumatized. Bug Noire summons a Lucky Charm grand piano to crush Monarch, then send him flying through the mansion with her staff, before creating another Lucky Charm in the form of handcuffs.

Around the Liberty, as civilians turn into Miraculized, Ivan fights off his friends while the Resistance try to restrain him. Rose tackles him down, allowing Nino to grab the ring and destroy it. Ivan returns to normal and panics over his nightmare of Mylene leaving for Polar Bears before she and the others calm him down with a hug.

At the Thousand Delights restaurant, Wang Cheng fights some of the Miraculized, while Fei was in the back taking a deep breath as the Renlings told her that she is worthy of the Prodigious. Her uncle then has a nightmare of his restaurant being a fast food place. Fei notices this and transforms into Lady Monkey and takes the rings off the people and turn them back to normal.

In Rio, the Order of the Guardians, including Su-Han, Penny, Jagged Stone, and Luka are fighting off more Miraculized and Su-Han has a nightmare of him not understanding the modern society. Luka reassures him to not let the nightmares get to him, just before present Bunnyx tells Luka that their Mira Kung-Fu will be more helpful in Paris, so the others and Fang rush into the Burrow.

In New York City, even more Miraculized are attacking, using Sublimation to flying, but the United Heroes, such as Hot Dog Dan, Majestia, Knightowl, Eagle and Uncanny Valley are able to fight them off. Majestia flies through to steal and crush the rings, and blows away some of the Miraculized, before she has a nightmare that she will never be able to save all the world's problems. Knightowl reassures her about anyone can do it at her level. Eagle tells the superheroines to keep going and if they figure out the situation the heroes will win. Uncanny Valley analyzed the quantum imprint and carry the powers of some Miraculous powers and she says that something occurred in Paris.

Back at the Agreste mansion, Bug Noire cuffs Monarch, stating that she'll take back all the Miraculouses, freeing the Kwamis, and everything else he stole from her, but Monarch continuously uses Shell-ter to protect the rings and Venom to paralyze her. Though eventually, Bug Noire successfully Cataclysms the shield and steals the Turtle Miraculous. But worrying that Wayzz doesn't come out of it, Monarch, coughing up black ash, reveals that the Kwamis are trapped in his lair, claiming that he re-invented their magic, and intends to reconfigure the whole world upon accumulating the Ultimate Miraculous Absolute Power. He then tries to attack her from above using Voyage, but Bug Noire and her friends dodge, and she summons a Lucky Charm baker's pan to knock back Monarch.

A Miraculized Denis Damocles is looking for Ladybug and Cat Noir. While Nino and Alya are disguised as boxes, they land a surprise attack on their former principal and free him from Monarch's grasp. Damocles said he had a nightmare that Monarch is mayor of Paris. Elsewhere, a Miraculized Nora uses Clout and the United Heroes free her. Uncanny Valley and Majestia repair the building that Nora damaged, while Majestia agrees to search for Ladybug and Cat Noir.

Back at the mansion, Monarch uses Venom and Voyage against Bug Noire, but the latter, Glitter Harmony, Glitter Justice and Glitter Starlight quickly avade his surprise attack and send him flying once again. Tying him with her Yo-yo, Bug Noire repeats a phrase that he once told her, "life is like fashion and that people only had the illusion of choice", with Monarch shocked on how she knows his identity. Bug Noire claims it's all down to luck, and attempts to use Cataclysm on him, but he uses Resistance to nullify it. Bug Noire then suffers from a nightmare - much to her friends' shock, struggling to remain focus. Before Monarch can paralyze her with Venom, Bug Noire uses Cataclysm on the ground, sending the five into the Crypt.

The Resistance evade a Miraculized mob in the Subway, but are eventually cornered, until Fang swipes them with his tail and Su-Han, Jagged, Penny & Luka arrive through Bunnyx's Burrow and fights off with Mira Kung-Fu. Juleka reunites with his brother and asks about how did he learn how to do Kung-fu. Luka states that it's a long story Su-Han did say they're reunion would have to wait. Jagged is then paralyzed by three Miraculized, whilst Penny gets hit by Clout. The United Heroes show up to help, and Doorman safely escorts them in another location. Su-Han asks Knightowl on how does she resist the nightmares and she claims she *is* the nightmare. Fei transforms into Ladydragon uses lightning to free the Miraculized from their nightmare and just has they've freed the Parisians, more Miraculized teleport to attack them. Alya, who is worried, asks Ladybug what is she doing.

At the Crypt, Monarch commands Bug Noire surrender her Miraculouses so he can make his wish, revealing Emilie's coffin as he reveals his goal to bring his wife back to life while Adrien and Kagami become his new world's eternal icons. A shocked Bug Noire, Glitter Harmony, Glitter Justice and Glitter Starlight all call Monarch insane as he does not care how many lives he has to destroy to revive Emilie and cure the fatal injury that Cat Noir inflicted on him.

Meanwhile, Zoé and Nathaniel try to protect a paralyzed Marc from more Miraculized. Knightowl manages to save them, but gets attacked by a Miraculized with Clout, sending her flying into a Ferris wheel. Then, many Miraculized teleport to and paralyze Ladydragon, sending her to the ground, whilst Luka has a nightmare. Meanwhile, as Bug Noire and Monarch fight, they argue over Adrien, his whole life, coping with the loss of his mother, and how long Gabriel has constantly isolated him from the real world. At the same time, Majesta looks down at Eagle, Nino and Alya that she couldn't find Ladybug or Cat Noir and Alya's tries to call Marinette but it keeps going to voice mail. Outside the mansion, Cerise uses Tsurugi's laptop to hack into the mansion door and enter to witness the fight in the basement. As Monarch insists on wanting Adrien to be happy, Bug Noir summons another Lucky Charm in the form of piece of glue while devising a plan to force Monarch on the defensive; by gluing a boomerang and launching it at Emilie's coffin. Monarch teleports to grab it, but it's stuck to his hand, allowing Bug Noire steal half of his rings with her yo-yo, then uses Cataclysm to send the elevator pummelled down, forcing Monarch to hold it using his cane. Glitter Starlight then uses telekinisis at the Butterfly Miraculous, putting an end to Monarch for good, and the Miraculous falling into the water. Bug Noire then pulls him with her yo-yo, claiming that Nooroo will obey the next Butterfly Miraculous holder that she will choose personally.

Gabriel attempts to use Venom, but Bug Noire blocks it while intending to render Gabriel powerless and restore the chaos before sending Plagg back to his owner. But, remembering Gabriel and Nathalie only have little time left, Glitter Harmony has the former watch Emilie's video message of wanting the best for Adrien. This causes Gabriel to break down, admitting her death destroyed him while mentioning the only happy memory he remembered while Emilie's smile the day Adrien was born. But then he learned the circumstances of Adrien's birth when Emilie became ill. Bug Noire states that Adrien has learned to live through that tragedy, explaining to Gabriel that using the her Miraculouses' power has a price that wouldn't solve anything while reverting back to Marinette, and Glitter Harmony, Glitter Justice and Glitter Starlight then follow suit and revert back to Kimberly, Garry and Juliana. Tikki and Plagg warn the quartet not to trust Gabriel as he uses Venom on them while their guard is down.

Taking the Ladybug and Cat Miraculous, Gabriel commands Tikki and Plagg to reveal their true forms before fusing together to summon Gimmi, the Kwami of Reality. Gabriel removes his remaining rings and frees Marinette, Kimberly, Garry and Juliana as he tells Gimmi he wants to make a wish to their dismay. With the quartet unable to interfere as they beg Gabriel not to proceed, he asks Marinette not to reveal the truth to Adrien and instead tell his son that he was a good father - and beforehand, he reveals that Juliana is Kimberly and Garry's daughter, leaving them surprised at the relevation. After Gabriel tells them to read his heart to know his wish and then read his soul to know what he intends to sacrifice, Gimmi grants his wish as Gabriel discards the Miraculouses and the wedding rings while embracing Emilie. Marinette, Kimberly, Garry and Juliana cover their eyes (while the latter three are unaware that their jewelery are glowing) as the resulting explosion destroys the entire universe in a bright light as it is recreated...

...then, one month later. Juliana awakens in the Harmony SEKAI, where Miku and the other VIRTUAL SINGERS look at her and her parents in worry, as well as three small animal-looking mascots. The pink cat introduces herself to Juliana as Garnet, her partner Jewelpet. However, she is more focused on her parents, whose hair have gained each others' respective hair color as a fade. Once she wakes them up, they open their eyes, with their right eyes revealing to be each others' eye color. The white rabbit and yellow dog then introduce themselves to Kimberly and Garry respectively as Ruby and Sapphie. However, their introductions are cut short when they realize they're going to be late.

Later that day, Adrien is awakened from his nap by a kiss from Marinette. The Resistance, Su-Han, Jagged, Penny, Luka, Kagami and Félix, as well as the Shand-Anderson trio and their new Jewelpet partners, are all having a pool party at the Agreste mansion, which is now covered in beautiful greenery during a sunny day. Adrien's bodyguard offers Emilie and Nathalie (who are now both alive and well) a drink, and a news broadcast begins as Alec has a new exclusive interview with Caline Bustier, who is now the new elected mayor of Paris, and her newborn Harmonie. Mayor Bustier says that Paris will now be eco-friendly and will have subway stations. She then unveils as statue of Gabriel Agreste, who is said to have sacrificed himself to save Paris, while Tomoe will be taking over the Agreste brand, along with a new high school will open for students to attend.

After everyone leaves, Marinette asks Adrien if he is not going to wear his parents' rings, which Ladybug gave him while honoring Gabriel's final request. Adrien admits not knowing if he would be like his father, but Marinette tells him to be himself as they embrace and kiss.

A few weeks later in August, Nadja on the news states that summer break will end and school will begin real soon. Meanwhile, in Marinette's room, she is working on remodeling the Miraculouses backs to their original forms with the recovered Miraculous spellbook while Alya and Su-Han watch over her. The Kwamis are happy to have all their respective Miraculous back, although Marinette wasn't able to recover the Butterfly Miraculous. However, she declares that whatever happens, they will be prepared to face any threats. Marinette finally realizes her mistake of keeping all the Miraculouses in one place during Season 4 of *Miraculous Retold*, and considering that she lost all of them when her yo-yo was stolen by Flairmidable and Gabriel at the end of "*Strikeback*," she decides to entrust the current members of French Miraculous superhero team with their Miraculous and kwami on a permanent basis, as in order to ensure power is only used for the greater good, it needs to be shared. Ladybug meets up with Cat Noir on a rooftop as they are joined by Team Miraculous, and the new addition of Argos, as they jump off into another adventure.

Later, Mr. Damocles sets up his new office as the high school principal when he receives a call from an anonymous source, who inquires of attending the school, and Damocles agrees to see the new students later. Cerise, contacting the principal from the Catacombs of La Plage, closes her computer and puts the Butterfly Miraculous on while looking forward to seeing Marinette again. But she is caught off guard when a ball of lightning suddenly appears behind her as the scene fades to black, ending Season 2 in a cliffhanger.
