In the Dupain-Cheng residence, Tom and Sabine have just closed up the bakery for the day.
Tom: Think Lucy likes the cake?
Sabine: Well, we did follow her instructions, so I have a feeling she will.
Tom: Okay, if you say so. Guess I better tell Marinette to come home soon so we can discuss what she'll make for dinner tonight.
Sabine: I'm sure there's plenty of time for that. Let's not forget the kids had a hard week, so let them relax for a minute.
Tom: Okay. *They walked inside the house, and they saw Timmy coloring in his coloring book with Cheekums next to him. They relaxed on the couch and watched some TV. *
Timmy: Where are Marinette, Marin, and Bridgette?
Tom: They're at the arcade.
Timmy: Oh.
Sabine: They won't be gone long.
Timmy: Okay. *He keeps coloring in his coloring book, Sabine twiddles her fingers a little bit, and Tom notices her. *
Tom: Something wrong, honey?
Sabine: Just a little nervous.
Tom: About what?
Sabine: About who was on the phone yesterday.
Tom: Oh. That. Well, you did tell them to come here, right?
Sabine: Yes, I did. Not sure when they'll be here. *Timmy looked confused about what his mom and dad were talking about. *
Timmy: Who's coming?
Sabine: Oh, just some people, honey.
Timmy: Okay. *In Codename: Fun-Zone, Lila caught up with Chloe. *
Chloe: What do you get?
Lila: A little recording of the blue-haired boy and Juleka.
Chloe: What voice recording? *Lila played the recording, Chloe looked confused and grinned at the last bit. * Looks like he has an ex-girlfriend and Dupain-Cheng doesn't even know about it.
Lila: Looks like it.
Chloe: This is perfect. We have to tell Dupain-Cheng about this. They'll have no choice but to break up and poor little Dupain-Cheng will be heartbroken. No one will ever love her. Not by a long shot.
Lila: Not just yet.
Chloe: Why not? It's perfect.
Lila: We want to show her the recording... when no witnesses are around.
Chloe: Hmm, tempting as it is. I guess we'll have to go with your plan. *Lila grinned at Chloe. *
Lila: Perfect.
Chloe: Can we leave this waste dump? All these loud noises of games and people running around, stepping on your feet for no reason are annoying me. *Lila shrugged her shoulders and they both left the Arcade. Meanwhile, after playing all the games in the Arcade, they all gathered their tickets and redeemed them for prizes. *
Prize concession worker: Okay, let's see what you guys got. *One by one, they start redeeming their tickets for prizes. Luka got a plush Snake and a yo-yo, Marinette got a Ladybug keyring and a sticker notebook, Mylene got a peace badge and rubber squishy ball, Ivan a foam hammer and a ball, Max got a pair of googly glasses, giant pen, and a mini chemistry set for Markov, Amber got a wristband, Joshua got a harmonica, Owen got a pan flute and a bubble mix, Cristina got a plush cat and glowstick, Zoé got a glow-in-a-dark ring, plush dog, and a Bee keyring, Nino got a silly straw and a Turtle plush toy, Sabrina got a slinky and a notebook, Kim got a toy sword and a plush monkey, Nathaniel got a lava lamp, Alix got a wristband and a paddle ball, Rose got a Unicorn pen and a flower plush toy, Marc got a squishy ball and a blue feather pen, Jessica got an Angry Bird plushy and a giant pen, Aeon got a shoulder bag and some candy, Adrien got a slide whistle, some candy, and an winky emoji face pillow, Juleka got a deck of cards, glow in the dark ring, and wristband, Aeon got a shoulder bag and a pinwheel hat, and Alya got a Fox plush toy, bubble mix, and some candy. After they got their prizes, they all left the Arcade, some went home, but some went to the Liberty to watch Kitty Section rehearsal. *
Marin: Hey, we're gonna go.
Marinette: Not going to the Liberty and watching Kitty Section rehearse?
Bridgette: Not this time.
Marinette: Okay.
Bridgette: We'll see you when you get home.
Marinette: Okay. *They walked back home, while the others headed to the Liberty boat. In the Agreste Mansion, Gabriel works in his atelier. His phone rang, he reached for it and he saw Adrien calling him, he answered. *
Gabriel: Yes, Adrien?
Adrien: Hi, father. I'm done with the Arcade; can my bodyguard come and pick me up?
Gabriel: Of course. Stay where you are, I'll let him know.
Adrien: Okay. *They hang up and Gabriel leaves the atelier and sees Gorilla in the Foyer. *
Gabriel: Go get Adrien, please? *Gorilla bows his head and leaves the mansion, gets in the car, and goes to Codename: Fun-Zone. Then, Gabriel felt a negative emotion. * Hmm. Time to get to work. And this time, I won't fail on this one. *He walked in front of the painted portrait of Emilie, pressed the hidden buttons, and headed down to the Lair. *
In the Dupain-Cheng residents, Marin and Bridgette walked in, their parents saw them walking in.
Tom: Hey, did you guys have fun?
Marin: Yeah.
Bridgette: I love the Arcade. Wish we could go again soon.
Tom: We could all go next weekend.
Bridgette: Okay.
Marin: I wouldn't mind.
Tom: Hmm, where's Marinette? Wasn't she with you guys?
Bridgette: She's going to the Liberty to watch her friends rehearse.
Tom: Oh. (Hopefully, she'll come back after this and help out a little bit.)
Bridgette: I'm going up to my room.
Sabine: Oh, honey. How did it go with your test?
Bridgette: Think I did pretty well.
Sabine: That's good. *Bridgette walked to her room as Marin sat on the chair and looked at the TV. *
Marin: What's on TV?
Tom: Nothing much, we're just flipping through something.
Marin: Okay. *In the Liberty, Anarka wiped down the counter and she saw Luka, Juleka, Rose, Ivan, Alix, Alya, Nino, Marinette, Zoe, Mylene, Jessica, and Aeon walk in. *
Anarka: Ahoy, how was your time at the Arcade?
Luka: Fun, mom.
Anarka: Ay, I'm glad. I'll let you all set up for rehearsal.
Juleka: Okay. *They head up to the deck and set up, Marinette hears her phone beep, she looks at it and it's a message from her dad telling her to come home later on for dinner. She replied, "Okay." Then, she put her phone in her pocket walked up to the upper deck, and watched Kitty Section rehearse. *
At a nearby Construction site, Hal worked the jackhammer, but unfortunately, the jackhammer isn't working right. *
Hal: Huh? What's wrong with this thing? *He turned it on and off, but the jackhammer isn't working well. * This thing always breaks whenever I use it. I better tell Mr. Bentley about this. *He walked up to where Mr. Bentley was, talking to a few construction workers. *
Mr. Bentley: Okay, put the beam over there and move the cement to that opening over there. The sooner we can get this job done, the sooner we can all go home for the day.
Construction worker employees: Yes, Mr. Bentley. *They all get to work and Hal walks up to him. *
Hal: Mr. Bentley?
Mr. Bentley: Yes, Hal?
Hal: Something's wrong with this jackhammer. It gets turned off whenever I use it.
Mr. Bentley: What? I just got that new one last week. Why is it given out now?
Hal: I don't know. What do I do?
Mr. Bentley: I don't know. You're gonna have to do something until I can call in for a backup.
Hal: How long will that take?
Mr. Bentley: A month from today.
Hal: Ugh, seriously!
Mr. Bentley: Sorry, Hal. That's just how it is. Now go help with the rivets and screws while you're at it. *Hal sighed and walked away. Outside, he took the jackhammer and walked away, he grumbled and scowled too. *
Hal: (I hate this so much.) *In Shadow Moth's Lair, the window starts to open, and Butterflies start to flutter in the lair. *
Gabriel: Time to get started. *He moves his tie and reveals the Butterfly and Peacock miraculouses. * Nooroo, Duusu, dual metamorphosis! *He transforms into Shadow Moth. Shadow Moth smirked, and he opened his hand, then he created a Megakuma. *
Shadow Moth: Time to get to work. *On the Liberty boat, Kitty section was all done setting up and they started playing together, and things were okay- at first, but then she sensed something was going on. She decided to slip away from the rehearsal and head outside, without getting suspicious. *
Tikki: What's wrong, Marinette?
Marinette: There's trouble in the city. I'm going to see what's going on, hopefully, this won't take too long. Tikki, spots on! *She transforms into Ladybug, throws her yo-yo out, and swings away too. *
