"" is an episode of Season 2 of Miraculous: Tales of Ladybug & Cat Noir. Its world premiere was on September 24, 2018, in Canada for English viewers on Family Channel.

Synopsis
While having to go without Tikki, Marinette must stop a mysterious supervillain from bringing the Parisians' bad dreams to life.

Plot
Tikki is troubled because tonight is the kwami cycle and Nooroo is supposed to be 3500 this year. Since this is the only opportunity to when kwamis can communicate with their kind (even from distance) in an extended time, Marinette gives Tikki permission to go, same goes with Plagg except Adrien isn't looking. Nooroo actually tries to leave; of course Gabriel won't allow any chance of it. Wayzz stands guard and Tikki and Plagg go inside the Miracle Box, while Master Fu is sleeping and the kwamis have fun playing. At a bad timing, Gabriel sensed an unidentified prey with intense emotions and send out an akuma. Marinette is chased by a frightening Adrien, and then finds outside "Sandboy", a Sandman-themed villain who is bringing people's nightmares to reality. Just as the kwamis are about to make contact they end up calling in Hawk Moth instead. Cutting off the connection, Tikki and Plagg return to their owners. Sandboy gives Plagg a chase but lost him. The heroes finally go into action then face their worst nightmares: Ladybug becoming a helpless girl and Cat Noir fights an evil Ladybug. After much struggle, Sandboy takes the fall and de-evilize into a boy who had been terrified from horror movies. The nightmare may be over, Gabriel is more confident than ever now that he has narrowed down the kwamis' location.
