Synopsis
Sweet and lovely Miss Bustier gets akumatized into Zombizou. Armed with an evil black lipstick, she wants to spread love in the city, by force.

Plot
Marinette is running to the locker room carrying a gift. In the locker room, Juleka is asking Rose what she got Miss Bustier for her birthday. Rose tells Juleka she made Miss Bustier a scrapbook. Marinette hurries to her locker and Alya takes a guess that Marinette just finished her gift for their teacher. Marinette's response is that she hopes Miss Bustier likes her gift. Nathaniel is showing his classmates a painting of a superhero he created for Miss Bustier. Then Nathaniel has a flashback of Miss Bustier having him and another student reconcile. Mylène's gift is a thank you present for the breathing exercises Miss Bustier has taught her and the class, so she is less afraid of akumas. Her flashback is a yoga class Miss Bustier was teaching. Rose shares that her gift is an inspiration from Miss Bustier having the students compliment each other at the beginning of class. The flashback Rose had features her and Chloé complementing each other. Rose tells Chloé her hair is pretty today and Chloé reluctantly says Rose is less annoying today. Listening to the thoughtful gifts her classmates created made Marinette feel her gift is going to be lame. Alya assures her that giving gifts to their teacher is not a competition. Marinette feels better when Adrien asks her what is her gift and he is sure she came up with something awesome like she always does. Marinette opens up the gift as her friends are impressed with the present she designed. The gifts are a teal lipstick and a small makeup pouch that says, "If we wish to change the world, we must all learn to love each other." The quote Marinette read from her present is a lesson Miss Bustier has taught her students.

Chloé is then asked what she got for Miss Bustier. She stays silent and Sabrina defends her by saying that she doesn't remember birthdays just like her mother. Chloé then stops her saying that everyone doesn't need to hear her life story. Marinette whispers to Alya saying that Chloé has no heart, which she overhears and is provoked. After the class left, Chloé sabotages Marinette's gift by drawing on it with a permanent marker.

When Miss Bustier's class finally came everyone put their gifts on her desk. She opened Marinette's gift first and is surprised by it. Marinette goes up to the front to look, and it has a terrible drawing on it. Marinette accuses Chloé of doing it. Everyone becomes upset with Chloé and calls her out for her misdeeds—Alix even saying that half the city was akumatized because of her. Miss Bustier, however, is more forgiving and says that the bag will make her think of both of them. Marinette answers back saying Chloé shouldn't get away with it. Miss Bustier asks to talk to Marinette outside the classroom. Thinking she’s in trouble instead of Chloé, her emotions become negative.

Hawk Moth's lair opens and sends an akuma to akumatize Marinette. When they are out of the classroom, Miss Bustier reassures Marinette that she is not in trouble and the world needs more people like her. She just wants Marinette set a good example to inspire others to be nice because it’s better than forcing them. This makes Marinette’s negative emotions fade, but when Miss Bustier notices the akuma, she says in fear that she won't let it evilize her student, making her vulnerable to the akuma. She throws the bag and the lipstick is akumatized. She tries to resist but Hawk Moth persuades her that he wants to help spread love and compassion so everyone is nice. Eventually gives in and is turned into Zombizou, a supervillain based on spreading love. As usual, Chloé becomes the villain’s main target. Refusing to let Hawk Moth get away with changing Miss Bustier, Marinette transforms into Ladybug.

Zombizou bursts into classrooms including her own and starts smearing lipstick on her lips and blowing kisses to other people, making a faint purple lip mark on any part of their body. She affects Sabrina first after Chloé uses her as a shield. Ladybug arrives just in time to restrain her as the students escape but soon Sabrina begins to feel funny and tries to kiss Chloé. Adrien realizes that the kisses are contagious and Mylene gets infected too, Ivan tries to hold them back while everyone else escapes. Then, Ivan, Mylene, and Sabrina go after Ladybug once she ties them down. She goes from room to room looking for survivors once Ladybug makes it to the locker room she finds Alya, Chloé, Nino and the others all okay and relieved that she's here but wondered where Adrien is. When they find him he pretends to be one of Zombizou's zombies and their screaming alerts the other zombified students to their location.

Needing another safe place they move to the roof meanwhile in his locker, Plagg asked Adrien if his pretending was just a trick to get a kiss out of Ladybug. But he denies it by saying, "How else will we work under the radar." With that Adrien transforms and meets with Ladybug, who was watching the news. Seeing that Zombizou is after Chloé and the duo's miraculous as well as demanding that they surrender before the whole city is after them. Having enough Chloé’s cruel behavior, the others decide with ease to give into Zombizou's demands but Ladybug retorts saying that they'll need her for their plan.

Spotting a nearby bus Ladybug asked Cat Noir if he knew how to drive he simply answers he can do anything. One by one they move the students inside the bus. But as the zombies make their way up to the roof; Max and Kim bought enough time for Chloé escape and just as Ladybug was about to leave. Seeing Kim she pulls him away but it's too late as he already been infected but trusts that the superheroine will fix everything. Meanwhile, Chloé slides down the staff too fast and is missed by Cat Noir, Rose leaves the bus to save her but Chloé sprains her ankle and barely escapes thanks to Ladybug. Once everyone's inside they tried to drive off but Cat Noir's driving skills aren't very good.

The heroes decide to take Chloé to the Eiffel Tower. Meanwhile, Juleka tries to comfort Rose who had a close call. However, she becomes infected and tries to kiss Chloé but is blocked Alix who has trust in Ladybug. Ladybug, Cat Noir, Chloé, Alya, and Nino escape to the tower but some of Zombizou's minions are already there and infect Alya knowing that it's too late she tells them to go. Sadly leaving her Ladybug opts for Nino to come but he stays behind saying to an infected Alya that this wasn't the first time they've been in trouble together.

While heading up the elevator, Ladybug punches the doors upset that everyone sacrificed themselves so the duo could get this far but Cat Noir comforts her believing she'll find a way to fix everything in the end. Reaching the top of the tower Ladybug and Cat Noir head to the office but the cat gets surrounded and tosses Chloé to her. When Chloé is inside the office she freaks out but calms down once she sees it's just a statue. Returning to Cat Noir, he tells Ladybug to leave while he holds them off refusing to do so the cat doesn't want to argue and says he'd rather kiss her after all this over.

Back inside the office Ladybug finds Chloé apologizing about all the damage she caused and wished her luck. As Zombizou and her minions close in Ladybug summons her Lucky Charm receiving make-up remover. Soon Cat Noir barrages in by using Cataclysm on the roof but was already infected, Ladybug barely manages to avoid him when she's cornered Chloé takes the hit for her. Using the hole in the ceiling she faces off with Zombizou and using a scarf the villain gets her makeup removed in doing so Ladybug takes the chance to grab the akumatized object while saving Miss Bustier from falling. Using Miraculous Ladybug, the citizens rejoice as they were saved again and yet Hawk Moth vows that if it is true that love always conquers, then his most cherished wish will come true.

Once Miss Bustier was returned to normal she asks what happened but she understands immediately that she was akumatized. The heroes comfort her by saying wasn't her fault and that Hawk Moth was to blame but when Miss Bustier admits she hurt a lot of people, Chloé steps up and says that it's her fault that she forgot about her birthday and her lashing out caused everyone so much trouble. She apologizes to her for doing so but Mrs. Bustier forgives her by sharing a hug as the duo leaves.

The next day back at the classroom, Alya demands that Chloé apologize to the class for her actions. But retorts by saying that everyone should be thanking her for saving everyone. When Alya disagrees Marinette pulls her away and apologizes to Chloé about her earlier comment. At their desks Alya asks her if she was still zombified. However, Marinette explains that Chloé has a heart and she will continue to show it as long as they provide a good example. Then, Alya sees Chloé place something on their teacher's desk leaving her surprised and Miss Bustier comes in having everyone start with a friendly greeting. The ending scene it shifts to see that there was a gift left by Chloé before the ending card appears.

Trivia

 * The episode's title is a portmanteau of the French words zombi and bisou (also written as bizou), which mean "zombie" and "kiss" respectively.
 * This episode pays homage to zombie horror films and clichés present within them.
 * As of this episode, Miss Bustier is the final person in the class photo to be akumatized, with the exception of Marinette and Adrien.
 * In this episode, Hawk Moth tries to akumatize Marinette for the first time, revealing that she, and by extension, Adrien and Master Fu, are not "invisible" to his sensing negative emotions by virtue of their holding Miraculouses; however, it is not resolved whether it would actually be possible to akumatize them.
 * As of this episode, Adrien is the only character from the class photo who hasn't been a target to be akumatized.
 * This is one of the few episodes that involve celebrating a birthday; specifically, in this case, Miss Bustier's birthday. The previous occasions were, "Timebreaker", "The Evillustrator", "Befana".
 * Miss Bustier is the third person in the series to be akumatized on her birthday, preceded by Alix in "Timebreaker" and Nathaniel in "The Evillustrator."
 * Marinette's role as class representative, established in "Darkblade" and recalled in "Robostus," is mentioned again in this episode.
 * Just like in "Riposte" and "Gigantitan," an akuma is seen by one of the heroes before it akumatizes its victim.
 * Similarly to in "Gigantitan," an akuma misses its objective and possesses another victim.
 * This occurs when the akuma tries to target Marinette, however, after being consoled by her teacher, Marinette releases her negative emotions and remains positive, thus no longer being a target. However as Caline suddenly notices the akuma, and tries to fend it off, Hawk Moth and the akuma both pick up on her emotions, and tries to akumatize her instead.
 * Miss Bustier tries to resist being akumatized after she's been struck, making her the first akuma target to do so; however, she still succumbs to it in the end.
 * This is the second time a victim tries to fend off an akuma before getting infected. This previously occurred in "Stormy Weather", when Aurore tried to fight off the akuma with her umbrella.
 * This episode shows that someone doesn't need to hold the object where the akuma enters to be akumatized. Miss Bustier threw the lip balm at the akuma, which entered it and put her under Hawk Moth's control despite her no longer touching the lip balm at that point.
 * This is the fourth episode where Tikki doesn't have a speaking role.
 * Marinette is visibly unhappy when she transforms into Ladybug, something that previously occurred in "The Bubbler", "A Christmas Special", and "Anansi". In this case, she gets unhappy due to her teacher getting akumatized.
 * This is the fifth episode where the Cat Noir transformation sequence isn't shown, following "Mr. Pigeon", "Copycat", "Riposte" and "Gorizilla". In this case, as in "Riposte", a quick flash is shown emanating from Cat Noir's hiding spot.
 * Just like in other previous episodes, Cat Noir ends up being controlled by a supervillain.
 * One of the gifts on Ms. Bustier's desk in the beginning is a purple flower bouquet like the one Marinette gives her uncle in "Kung Food."
 * Nathaniel is inexplicably absent when the class heads for the locker rooms.

Errors

 * During one of the flashbacks of Miss Bustier's class, Chloé is missing her sunglasses.
 * After Ms. Mendeleiev asks who Zombizou is, the pink lips that are in the middle of the pink heart in front of Zombizou's dress have disappeared.
 * When Zombizou kicks the door to Mr. Damocles office open it breaks off its hinges; however in the following shot, it is reattached.
 * The open locker which Chloé was flung into by Ladybug did not have any shelves inside. But they appear when Ladybug helps Chloé get up. The shelves are gone again when Nino asks about Adrien.
 * This also results in Adrien hiding in his locker an error, considering he as previously shown to have shelves in lockers in "Copycat".
 * Nadja's hair is miscolored as pink instead of fuchsia.
 * When Ladybug uses her Miraculous Ladybug, she throws the akumatized lip balm in the air instead of the makeup remover.
 * During the restoration, Alix's eyes are blue instead of pink even before Ladybug's superpower passes over her.
 * When Cat Noir is chasing Ladybug around a pole in the Eiffel Tower, his eyes are green. They turn purple again right after.
 * In some shots, Alix's cap is missing.
 * Chloé's belt changes colors throughout the episode.
 * When Cat Noir uses his belt to slide the students across his baton, it is detached from his suit. However, within seconds of Chloé falling on the floor, it is suddenly attached on to him, despite Chloé dropping it moments earlier.
