On the other hand, "Félix" might turn out to be an episode that's great for reasons no one expected. "Troublemaker" might be a good past example (or a different one if you don't think so, as surely there is one for anyone to think of according to their taste). And I am curious to know what they'll actually do with "the original concept for Cat Noir", who surfaces as Adrien's cousin.

Whatever the case, I figure that the basis for Thomas giving Season 3 "45 out of 10" must be still to come, 'cause so far Season 3 holds up pretty well against Season 2, but doesn't surpass it in any significant way. "Oblivio" was a thrill, but a highly frustrating one. Similarly "Puppeteer 2" had its thrill, which ended up being outweighed by disappointment.

In the meantime, with Mayura being seen in "Miraculer", but without any visible sign of illness overtaking Nathalie, I might speculate that "Reflekdoll" could have one of those "opening akumatizations in progress" like "Antibug" or "Weredad", or some other early-stage event, where Hawk Moth has turned someone into 'Miracle Cure', and they cure Nathalie's condition, and are then de-akumatized without the Miracullous Ladybugs intervening (same as with Volpina in "Catalyst"), which would've otherwise "reverted" Nathalie's cure. Then she is free to become Mayura without ill effects (and maybe we finally meet Duusu?). Although this poses the question of, couldn't Emilie also be cured? Beyond that, if Hawk Moth can use the "trick" of creating 'Catalyst' to, in turn, make himself more powerful, what else might he be able to do?
