Marinette and Adrien plan their first official date, in which Alya and Nino briefly join in. She tries going to the movies and a café, but since she is new to dating, she doesn't know how to act with or around Adrien, instead trying to mimic what the other couples around her are doing. She gets so anxious that she transforms into Ladybug to help the other heroes, who have started going on patrol without her leadership, even if said heroes don't need assistance. The date is postponed when a little girl, who loves to draw, named Maya is akumatized into "The Illustrhater" now being able to draw any object into existence. Ladybug, Cat Noir, Rena Rouge, and Carapace all work together to take down the villain, after which Marinette finally expresses her fears to Adrien. As a precaution, Marinette gives a Ladybug kwagatama to Alya, so that she can access Ladybug's memories, should anything happen to her.
