While Ladybug de-akumatizes Lila, Monarch manages to snag a piece of Ladybug's hair during the chaos. He doesn't get her Miraculous, but he now has the DNA needed to track her civilian identity using a high-tech Agreste search engine.

The episode ends with Marinette and Adrien sharing a quiet dance at the park, finally happy. But the camera pans away to Gabriel’s lair, where a computer screen flashes: MATCH FOUND: MARINETTE DUPAIN-CHENG. The stakes have never been higher.

Now that Monarch (Gabriel Agreste) has most of the Kwamis, Marinette is pushed to her absolute limit. She is no longer just a superhero; she is the Guardian of a nearly empty Miracle Box. To make matters worse, her feelings for Adrien are finally being reciprocated, but the "Adrienette" bliss is haunted by the fact that she still doesn't know Gabriel is her greatest enemy.
