Scene: Pont des Arts. Mr. Ramier is being interviewed for a TVi news report.

Mr. Ramier: I'm absolutely confident Ladybug and Cat Noir will definitely take back all the Miraculous that Monarch stole.

Scene: Interior, Le Grand Paris. XY and Bob Roth are also being interviewed for the news report.

XY: Hawk Moth... (Bob signals him "no") No, I mean, the villain is Shadow Moth. (Bob shakes his head "no" and points at his head drawing a "crown") Right, duh, he calls himself "King" now. (Bob writes "Monarch" on a paper and shows it to him) Huh? Monarch?

Scene: Ménagerie du Jardin des Plantes. Denis Damocles is also being interviewed for the news report.

Denis Damocles: When I was reakumatized, she saved me, but no, she didn't find any Miraculous. I didn't have any on me! But still, I say good job, Ladybug!

Scene: Exterior, Le Grand Paris. Chloé is also being interviewed for the news report. Sabrina is also seen behind her.

Chloé: Ladybug? She's turned Paris over to supervillains! That would never have happened with Queen Bee!

Scene: TVi studio. Nadja Chamack is sitting with Alec, Bob Roth and Mr. Banana for a news report.

Nadja: And we're back on the set of "Leading Questions, Honest Answers" with our experts. You've heard the people of Paris; Monarch is more powerful than ever, and Ladybug can't seem to regain the Miraculous from him, so the question on everybody's mind is, "Are Ladybug, The Rangers and Cat Noir the heroes we need?"

Alec: The media has paralyzed us with fear, but what we need to defeat Monarch is more love and kindness. People need to follow their dreams and have more hope. That way, we wouldn't be feeling all these negative emotions. Come with me, now, everyone, just love one another-

Bob: (cuts off Alec) If you ask me, there's too much talk about Ladybug, The Rangers and Cat Noir (brings out a CD of XY's music) and not enough talk about my son's- I mean, that wonderful indie artist, XY's new album!

He's like that one SoundCloud rapper who keeps on trying to sell you his mixtape.

Nadja: Thank you for that, Bob. And you, Mr. Banana? What's your take on all of this?

Mr. Banana: Stay peachy!

Nadja: Thank you! We'll be right back after these messages!

Scene: Interior, the Agreste mansion, in Adrien's room. An advertisement of Alliance is broadcasted on the television.

Gabriel: (from the advertisement) The ties that bind...

Plagg is seen on the table playing with an Alliance ring.

Alliance Adrien: Cancoillotte is cheese that dissolves fat, keeps your breath fresh, and bestows magical powers. (Plagg repeats the footage) Cancoillotte is a cheese that dissolves fat, keeps your breath fresh, and bestows...

Adrien: (annoyed) I never said that!

Plagg: Yet you say it with such conviction!

Plagg presses the Alliance ring playfully.

Alliance Adrien: Cancoillotte, why not?

Adrien: (sits on the couch dejectedly) How does this happen?

Plagg: Since your father digitized you and Lila, you two have become virtual puppets! Thanks to the Alliance ring, anyone can make you say anything! Great, isn't it?

Alliance Adrien: Runny camembert makes your hair beautiful and makes you immortal.

Adrien: (takes the ring away from Plagg) I don't think it's great at all! (walks to the door)
