Episode Title:
Weredad.
Episode Description:
After defeating Gigantitan for a second time, Ladybug forgets to return August's pacifier to him and Cat Noir goes to get it back, only to see Marinette right where Ladybug transformed back. When Cat Noir seems to be figuring out that Marinette is Ladybug, Marinette panics and makes him believe that she is in love with him to divert his attention. But her parents attend this declaration and her father Tom, absolutely delighted, decides to invite Cat Noir for lunch. But the superhero confesses to them that he is not in love with Marinette, reaffirming his love for Ladybug. Tom is heartbroken and gets akumatized by Hawk Moth. Becoming "Weredad", a huge man-guard beast-man, he locks up Marinette in a jail of brambles to protect her from the outside world and heartbreaks. Separated from Tikki, Marinette is unable to transform into Ladybug. Cat Noir returns to the bakery and faces Weredad in a single combat while Marinette navigates the prison and purifies the akuma, freeing her father. Afterwards, Cat Noir reveals that he had assumed Marinette was his number one fan, and Tom forgives him and jokingly offers to teach him how to bake in the hopes of getting him to romance Marinette.
