In a recent interview, Wilfried Pain stated, "Oh, very soon now. I don't know about the broadcasting, as you know, but it's soon now. I think in the next 3 to 4 episodes." With this in mind, I'm much more open to the possibility of this episode being where the first new Miraculous holder debuts. I do hope "Glaciator" or "Gorizilla" sets up the need for more heroes by Master Fu and Marinette discussing it. While I wish Alya's flaws had been touched upon more this season, we've seen how awesome she is in heroics many times over in both seasons already, and after more than a year of waiting, I'm really ready for Rena Rouge to premiere.

This person made an interesting blog post making the same observation about the family members. I wouldn't hope every Miraculous hand-off occurs when a relative is akumatized, but there's a high possibility of it being a recurring beat with these guys by the looks of it.
