Synopsis
Hawk Moth akumatizes Chloé into Miracle Queen to make her take control of all the Miraculous holders. Will Ladybug and Cat Noir be able to escape this fatal plan?

Plot
At the top of the Bourgeois hotel, Hawk Moth gives Miracle Queen possession of the Miracle Box. Once this happens, Miracle Queen leaps down and commands her hornets to make everyone in Paris her personal army. At the Césaire apartment, Alya's family is having dinner with Nino. Otis Césaire pats Nino on the back, as the hornets come in and sting the whole family, removing any emotion. Elsewhere, Max and his mom are revealing her new spacesuit. They hug, and the hornets sting them. At the swimming pool, Ondine throws a message into the pool and Kim dives in after it. He approaches her like a seal, and they start to kiss. However, they are stung by hornets first, breaking their kiss. At the Le Grand Paris hotel, the Bourgeois couple walk hand-and-hand inside after being akumatized into Heart Hunter. Andre picks up Audrey, but the hornets sting them as well. Continuing from the previous episode, Marinette and Luka are hugging each other, comforting Marinette. Marinette wonders if she has feelings for Luka, and she breaks from the hug, thinking it has been too long. Luka asks if she was still thinking about Adrien, and Marinette replies with a saddened facial expression. Marinette asks to hear her tune, much to Luka's questioning. Luka notices civilians running away from a swarm of Miracle Queen's hornets. He shields Marinette, making him get hit in the process. The hornets chase Marinette, and she makes a mad dash away from them. She looks around and tells Tikki that they needed to power up. She throws the aqua magicaroon up, allowing Tikki to transform into AquaTikki. Marinette then transforms into Aquabug. She asks herself what Hawk Moth is up to, and proclaims that the battle isn't over. Elsewhere, Andre watches as Adrien and Kagami are about to kiss. Adrien pulls back. Kagami asks why, and Adrien can't get the words out. Kagami asks if he isn't happy with her, but before he could answer, a swarm of hornets come for them. Adrien notices them, but Kagami protects Adrien, making her get hit. Adrien looks around to see if anyone is watching and then throws an aqua camembert in the air for Plagg, transforming him into Aqua Plagg. Then, Adrien transforms into Aqua Noir and escapes.

Above, the hornets have taken control of all of Paris; the only ones not stung are Aqua Bug, Aqua Noir, Hawk Moth, Mayura, and Miracle Queen. Miracle Queen makes an order to all Miraculous holders to step forward and reveal themselves to her and Hawk Moth. Alya, Nino, Max, Luka, Kagami, and Kim all leave their respective places. Hawk Moth tells them that there is nothing to hide. Miracle Queen refers to them as "a failed reporter", "DJ Tupac", "Nerdy Max", "a beautiful boy with terrible clothing", "her", and "Simpleton Kim". She tells them to retrieve their Miraculouses. Alya gets the Fox Miraculous, Max gets the Horse Miraculous, Luka gets the Snake Miraculous, and Kim gets the Monkey Miraculous, and they all transform under Miracle Queen's command.

A few seconds after that, Mayra and Hawk Moth address their plan. Mayura falls ill again and falls backwards with him catching her. He says that he did not want to hurt her in his most daring plans but then she says that from the 1st day she met him, she knew that she would do anything for him. She then creates an amuk and and sends it into Hawk Moth's staff, creating a sentimonster the same one seen in the episode Mayura (Heroes' Day - Part 2). She commands it to listen to Hawk Moth and he orders it to break Master Fu's shield created by the Turtle Miraculous.

Meanwhile, Aquabug and Aqua Noir find each other in the water. Aqubug tells him that she could not find Master Fu and that he has gone missing. He uses his stick and sees the sentimonster, Jade Turtle, Miracle Queen and the miraculous holders. She adresses that it as all her fault that she forgot to detransform. Aqua Noir says to her that all that matters now is that they save everyone then share a hug.

Trivia

 * During the Japan Expo 2018 panel on July 9, 2018, Sébastien Thibaudeau revealed that the 78th episode had moved the team to tears. He hoped this would have the same effect on the spectators.
 * Cat Noir's Staff is revealed to be able to be used as a periscope.
 * Snake Noir and Dragon Bug make their debut.
 * This is one of the few episodes that involves fighting multiple akumatized villains in a single day.
 * This episode marks one of the few times a Miraculous holder's identity is revealed to another that is not Ladybug or Cat Noir, with that being Hawk Moth, Mayura, and Queen Bee.
 * Currently, they know the identity of 8 superheroes: Alya (Rena Rouge), Nino (Carapace), Chloé (Queen Bee), Kagami (Ryuko), Kim (King Monkey), Max (Pegasus), Luka (Viperion), and Fu (Jade Turtle).
 * Wang Fu relinquishes his duty as guardian, losing his memory in the process, and Marinette becomes the new guardian of the Miraculouses.
 * This act also transforms the Miracle Box into a different shape, probably to avoid former guardians to see it and possibly recall it, similar for the reason why the Miraculouses' camouflaged mode looks different for each user.
 * In a locker of the train station, he leaves her a note and the phonograph he used to store the Miracle Box.
 * As of this episode, Chloé is no longer a Miraculous holder as Ladybug confiscates the Bee Miraculous from her and part of the French Miraculous superhero team.
 * When Gabriel and Nathalie are heading back to the Agreste mansion, she mentions she has Fu's tablet with the decrypted Miraculous spellbook.
 * Fu and Marianne leave Paris in this episode.
 * This is the first episode that features a scene after the end card.
 * Gabriel Agreste fixes the Peacock Miraculous.
 * This is second time since "Origins" when Ladybug broke down about her insecurities in front of Cat Noir.
 * Luka taking a hornet sting to protect Marinette is similar to what Cat Noir did for Marinette as Ladybug in "Dark Cupid" and Rena Rouge for Carapace in "Mayura".

Errors

 * When Miracle Queen gets de-akumatized, her Spinning Top can be seen tied up in her waist despite having being destroyed by Snake Noir early.
 * In the scene where the Miraculous holders show up to Hawk Moth and Miracle Queen, the akumatized villain's crown, shoulder pads, and bracelets are missing, making her look like Queen Wasp.
 * In the scene where Miracle Queen brags about the Miraculous holders serving her, they can be seen in the background with their normal eyes despite the fact that when controlled by the villain, their eyes are supposed to be yellow.
 * Nino and Kagami disappear completely after Alya, Max, Luka, and Kim transform into their respectve hero identities, only reappearing in the end of the episode with the rest of Miss Bustier's class.
 * Much like how it happened in "Mayura", the magic macaron and cheese that give aquatic powers to Tikki and Plagg are blue, which is the color of the ice powers.
 * When the Miraculous Ladybugs bring Alya and Nino back to the Césaire's apartment, Alya can be seen with her glasses despite Miracle Queen having destroyed then early. However, it's possible that the Miraculous Ladybugs simply restored the glasses as well.
 * When Dragon Bug looks in the sky to see the wasps turning into confetti, her sword and yo-yo are missing.
 * Audrey Bourgeois is seen wearing her hat and sunglasses in this episode, despite having none of them in the previous episode.
 * When Max is standing side by side with Alya, Luka, and Kim after they are all commanded to retrieve their Miraculouses, the lenses of the Horse Miraculous are darkened despite Kaalki floating right next to him.
 * When Miracle Queen orders the Miraculous holders to take their respective Miraculouses, she opens all the drawers from the Miracle Box, but when Max grabs the Horse Miraculous, the drawer with the Goat Miraculous, which was seen opened seconds before, is closed.
 * Seconds before Miracle Queen orders the Miraculous holders to transform, Kim's eyebrows are making a worried expression on him, but when the controlled heroes begin to activate their transformations, his eyebrows return to normal.
 * After Aqua Noir shows Aquabug what's happening on the surface with his staff, the spots on Aquabug's yo-yo disappear and only return when she activates Longg and his Miraculous.
 * When the kwamis all try to stop Master Fu from releasing himself as the Guardian of the Miraculouses and pronounce Ladybug as the new guardian, Orikko's eyes turned black.
 * When the Miracle Box is transformed after Master Fu announces that Ladybug is the new guardian of the Miraculouses, King Monkey's eyes are normal despite he's supposed to be still in controlled and his eyes are supposed to be yellow.
 * As the Miracle Box rises into the air to transform, King Monkey is seen standing directly behind Queen Bee. When it she catches it as it falls King Monkey disappears.
