Outside of Rolland's house, Rolland refused to babysit.

Rolland: No, no, no, and no again! Babysitting is too complicated! I got Brioche loaves to bake and-

Manon, Ella, Etta, and Chris: YAY! *They rush inside Rolland's house; Timmy hugs his grandpa, and Marinette chuckles and walks inside. *

Manon: Wow! *She picks up a vinyl. * Wow! What's this frisbee made of?

Marinette: No, it's fragile!

Chris: Yeah, yeah, yeah!

Marinette: Chris, no! STOP! Give me that!

Rolland: First, a game of darts, then I'll show you kids how to make a potato cannon!

Ella and Etta: YEAH!

Marinette: NO! (chuckles) Forget the potato cannon and the darts. Too dangerous. Just keep it simple, Grandpa! Let them watch a cartoon!

Manon, Ella, Etta, and Chris: YEAH! *Manon, Ella, Etta, Chris, and Timmy rush to the couch in excitement. *

Rolland: You call that "simple"? What are all these buttons anyway, and where do you put the video cassette?!

Marinette: This is a laptop computer, and this is the keyboard. You don't need a cassette. The film is already on the hard drive.

Rolland: Now you want me to drive somewhere to get the film? But that's not how it's done!

Marinette: Don't worry, Grandpa. You don't have to drive anywhere! The kids know how to use it. *Rolland notices Manon, Ella, Etta, Chris, and Timmy smiling at him as Marinette kisses Rolland on the cheek. * I'll be back as soon as I can. Thank you, Grandpa! Be quiet, kids! Goodbye! *She closes the door. *

Rolland: Hmm... *Outside, Marinette leaves Rolland's house and holds the gate shut. *

Marinette: And now, let's go save Adrien! *She rushes off to the Eiffel Tower, where the commercial is being shot at. Inside, Rolland puts both of the bread in the oven and hears Cat Noir, offscreen and on the laptop. *

Cat Noir: Cataclysm! *Rolland shuts the oven door and walks over to Manon, Ella, Etta, Chris, and Timmy watching "Ladybug PV" on the laptop. *

Rolland: Hang on. I don't get it. The villain is that cat girl?

Etta: (giggles) Of course not! He's a boy!

Chris: And, and Cat Noir's a good guy!

Rolland: Since when do good guys break everything?

Manon: He's not breaking stuff! He's doing the Cataclysm thing to help Ladybug win!

Rolland: Oh, okay. So, this Mime guy, he's the bad guy?

Ella: No! Hawk Moth is the bad guy. He waits until the Mime gets mad so he can akumatize him. And then he makes him think Ladybug and Cat Noir are the bad guys!

Rolland: Argh! In my day, telling good guys from bad guys was much simpler! They would just fight each other and whoever was the strongest one would win!

Manon: Oh, but Ladybug never hits anybody, 'cause she has her Lucky Charm!

Rolland: Oh, what was this thing a lucky what?

Timmy: Easy. It's a thing she uses with other stuff to catch the Akuma!

Etta: And then she wins!

Rolland: Stop, stop. This is way too complicated! Let's just watch my VHS copy of the '98 World Cup finals. At least that's something simple! *He turns off the laptop with his VHS copy, and Manon, Ella, Etta, Chris, and Timmy are saddened. *

Manon, Ella, Etta and Chris: NOOOOOOOOOO!!!

Timmy: It's not a VHS, Grandpa.

On the Eiffel Tower, Marinette fixed up Adrien's wing.

Marinette: Perfect. It's all fixed.

Adrien: I'm so glad I thought to call you, Marinette. How can I ever thank you?

Marinette: No charge.

Adrien: I wanted to say, I'm sorry for not seeing you as more than just a friend. To be honest... you're more than that. And what I'm trying to say is... I love you.

Marinette: Adrien... *He leaned in to kiss her. * Adrien... Adrien!

Adrien: Huh?

Marinette: Can we make this quick? I had to leave the kids I'm babysitting with my grandpa and he's not that great with kids. I asked Luka but he was busy...

Adrien: Luka... right... *He looked away and looked sad. * (I can't tell her anything, it would be too awkward.) Would you like to stay and watch the commercial shoot?

Marinette: Maybe next time. I gotta go. *She leaves the Eiffel Tower, he sighed and walked away. *

Adrien: Ugh, what am I gonna do?

Plagg: About what?

Adrien: I had a vision that I confessed to Marinette, and I almost kissed her. Could it be possible that I do have feelings for her?

Plagg: Don't do it, kid. You're gonna regret it for the rest of your life.

Adrien: Why?

Plagg: Because! She. Has. A. Boyfriend!

Adrien: You don't think I know that. What can I do to get rid of this feeling?

Plagg: Kid, if my love for cheese wasn't in the way, I'd help you on this one. But... I have an idea. Think about something else.

Adrien: What do you mean?

Plagg: Like something you dislike and associate it with Marinette. But nothing too harsh, she'll probably think you'll hate her or something.

Adrien: Hopefully you're right.

Director: Adrien, we're ready. *Adrien breathes in and out once. *

Adrien: Here goes nothing. *Plagg goes back in his jacket and he walks back to the set. On the way back to Grandpa Rolland's house, Marinette's phone rings as she calls Rolland on the phone. *

Rolland: MARINETTE, I'M COMPLETELY LOST!

Marinette: I'm on my way back now. *She hung up and kept walking. In Rolland's house, Manon is getting chased by Etta, Ella is jumping on the couch, and Chris starts tickling Ella. *

Rolland: What is wrong with the world these days?! Why has everything become so complicated?! Wah!!!

In Shadow Moth's lair, the window starts to open, and the Butterflies start to flutter all over the place.

Shadow Moth: Ah! The overwhelming confusion of a grandfather faced with the complexities of our modern world. How difficult it is to adapt, especially when one is trapped in the past! *He turns a butterfly into a Mega Akuma. * Fly away, my Mega Akuma, and help him simplify this all-too-complicated world! *The Mega Akuma flew out of the lair, went through a chimney, and landed in Rolland's spatula. * Unravelder, I am Shadow Moth.

Rolland: Unravelder? What kind of complicated name is that?

Shadow Moth: (clears throat) Well, uh... Doctor Obsolete?

Rolland: I'm not a Doctor!

Shadow Moth: (groans) How about Simpleman? Will that do?

Rolland: There! Now that's simple!

Shadow Moth: Well, then, Simpleman, Ladybug, and Cat Noir are also complicating my life. That's why I'm giving you the power to simplify everything.

Rolland: Ah! Now that I understand! *He transforms into Simpleman. *

Manon: Oh, no! Grandpa Rolland!

Chris: You got akumatized because of us? *Simpleman stomps on one foot and greets Manon, Ella, Etta, Chris, and Timmy. *

Simpleman: Don't worry, kids. You're not a problem at all. The problem is the world around you! I'm going to show you how much better life can be if everything is simpler! *He suddenly cracks his back. * Oh! Argh!

Manon, Ella, Etta, Chris, and Timmy: Hmm...

Shadow Moth: (from his lair) And don't forget the simplest mission of all. Bring me back Ladybug and Cat Noir's Miraculous.

Simpleman: Piece of cake! One blow from this baker's peel and EVERYONE WILL BE HIT, SUPERHERO OR NOT!

Shadow Moth: No! Wait!

Simpleman: SIMPLIFICATION!!! *He uses his power to make everything simpler. *

Manon, Ella, Etta, Chris, and Timmy: Oh, no! *The power makes everything in Paris get worse. *

Shadow Moth: Argh! Foolish villain! You hit me! I'm taking back your power!

Simpleman: Make up your mind already, do you want your Miraculous or not?

Shadow Moth: Hmm... Yes. Go ahead.

Simpleman: You see how simple life can be when nothing is complicated? *On the Parisian streets, a civilian is driving a car when he sees another car passing by. *

Civilian 1: Hm. *Both cars crash into each other. *

Civilian 1: Why didn't you stop instead of driving right into me?

Civilian 2: Turning's too complicated! All you had to do was back up!

Civilian 1: Backing up is even more complicated! I'd rather just go straight, it's simpler!

Roger: (gets out of the car) Since you're not letting me through, I'm prohibiting all cars! It'll be simpler this way. Car prohibited! Prohibited! Prohibited! And prohibited again!

Nadja: I, Nadja, the reporter on the TV, tell you all about the things happening around us. And today, things are going pretty badly, right, Clara?

Clara: Yes, I'm Clara, and I'm a reporter in a helicopter! There are many problems in Paris! People are not happy at all, because their cars are immobilized! *Inside the helicopter, the cameraman tries to see all the cars, but he can't. *

Cameraman: I can't see anything; the helicopter is going too fast!

Clara: Stop, pilot. We can't see the cars anymore!

Pilot: Uh... stop? Ah, there! There. *He presses the red button which stops the helicopter and gives a thumbs up. All of them scream as the helicopter falls. On the Eiffel Tower, Adrien stretches his arms out, getting ready to fly, and Vincent gets the lens ready to take some pictures. *

Vincent: Mah, this photo session is too complicated, we just got to take photos of Adrien smiling, it would be simpler. *Adrien starts taking off the rope behind him and gets off the beam. *

Marinette: Why am I complicating my life by not doing my responsibility? I better go get them from Grandpa. *She kept moving until she heard people from the helicopter scream for help as the helicopter was falling. She turned around and saw what was going on. * Oh, a falling helicopter! What should I do? Oh, I know! I have to transform!

Tikki: Careful, Marinette, it's a secret. You should hide first.

Marinette: Oh, right! But where can I hide? *She starts looking for a place to hide. But then heard the Helicopter crashed. * Woah! Oh no, it took me way too long to think, and now the helicopter's crashed!

Clara, Cameraman, and pilot: Help! Ladybug, Cat Noir, save us! *She goes into an abandoned alley and gets Tikki out. *

Marinette: Come on, Tikki. Spots on! *She transforms into Ladybug and goes to help them. After Vincent took some pictures of Adrien, they stopped with the shoot. *

Vincent: Okay guys, that's enough for today. I got all I needed. *Then, people still scream for help. *

Adrien: I'm supposed to smile, but I'm supposed to save people. This is a complicated choice.

Plagg: The simplest thing to do would be to stay here and eat cheese! *He gobbles up a camembert. *

Adrien: No, Plagg! The simplest thing is to do as Ladybug does. She's always right, and I love her. So, I'll just do what she does! *He then runs to find a place and transforms. * Plagg, claws out! *He transforms into Cat Noir, and he runs and helps Ladybug save the people. *

Pilot: Thank you, Cat Noir!

Cameraman: Thanks!

Clara: Thank you Ladybug! *Ladybug and Cat Noir look at each other. *

Ladybug: When bad things happen, it's simply the fault of the big bad-

Ladybug and Cat Noir: SHADOW MOTH!

Cat Noir: An akumatized villain is going to want to fight us so they can steal our Miraculous! *They both groaned. *

Ladybug: Oh, boy, it's gonna be complicated.

Cat Noir: Wouldn't it be simpler to fight Shadow Moth directly?

Ladybug: Oh, of course!

Ladybug and Cat Noir: Let's go! *They start running, Ladybug opens her yo-yo and texts Uncanny. * Better tell Uncanny and Eagle. Think they already know what's going on. *At Place des Vosges, Jessica was affected by Simpleman's power, but not Aeon. *

Aeon: What is happening? *They see cars crashing into each other and people arguing. Then, she got an alert from Ladybug. * There's trouble, we gotta go.

Jessica: Wow, wonder why they're mad?

Aeon: Jess are you okay? *She takes her out of the park and into a nearby alleyway and takes cover. Then, Liiri flies out. *

Liiri: I think we're supposed to do something but I'm not sure what.

Jessica: Think I know. *She saw Ladybug and Cat Noir leaping by. * Huh. Guess our heroes are out there. I guess we're supposed to help them, right?

Aeon: Yes. You don't seem like yourself, sis. Maybe you should sit this one out?

Jessica: Nonsense I wanna kick some Akuma butt. Or do a sneak attack, whichever is simple. *Aeon looked confused at Jess. *

Aeon: Okay as long as you're sure. Let's go. *She presses her bracelet, and she transforms into Uncanny. *
