Episode Title:
Intuition
Episode Description:
Monarch uses the Snake Miraculous' power of Intuition to get the best chance at winning, but Ladybug keeps defeating him; this worsens his scar, which begins to affect his organs. Going against Nathalie's wishes, he hacks an experimental space jet, tricking its AI Ada into believing her pilot, Claudie, died during a test flight. He uses the AI's sorrow to akumatize her into "Bugfighter", a spaceship with weapons, then uses the Goat Miraculous to create an asteroid headed for Earth. Ladybug goes after the spaceship and gets captured, while Cat Noir goes after the asteroid, only to be caught and paralyzed in a Shell-ter. Monarch then resets time; without Cat Noir, Ladybug tells Claudie to break out of the ship and disable Ada. The damage makes Ada realize her pilot is still alive, making her de-akumatize herself. No matter how many attempts Monarch makes, Ada always realizes the truth. With all the memories of his previous tries intact, Monarch eventually gives up. Later, Ladybug and Cat Noir reassure themselves that Monarch doesn't use the Snake Miraculous, unaware that Cat Noir found out in an erased timeline.
