Don't touch me! Put me down!

Let me go! [sobbing]

I'll shut down the subway. You deal with the villain.

[♪ theme song playing]

[Marinette] In the daytime, I'm Marinette,

just a normal girl with a normal life.

But there's something about me that no one knows yet.

Because I've got a secret.

[Alya] She was scared of Ladybug? For real?

Yes, I'm telling you. That's strange, right?

-I didn't do anything to her. -[Aglae whimpering]

Ah! A lady... A ladybug!

[whimpering]

It's nothing, Aglae.

It's just a nice, little ladybug.

-Ah! It's going to attack me! -[spray hissing]

Smells good, what is it?

Essential oils, the scent is supposed to repel bugs.

Did it go this way? No!

That way? Ah!

There's another one!

-[shrieking] -[both sigh]

[Aglae] I've been like this ever since I got akumatized.

At first I was only scared of butterflies

because they reminded me of the akuma that hit me.

And now you're scared of all bugs?

Bees, flies, ladybugs,

I'm even afraid of Ladybug herself.

But Ladybug isn't scary. She helps people.

I know, but I can't control myself.

I'm terrified of getting akumatized again.

[Marinette] At least you're safe here.

There won't be any bugs in the classroom.

Meet for lunch?

-[♪ light music] -Mm-hmm.

This is all my fault. If I had the Butterfly Miraculous,

people like Aglae wouldn't be so traumatized.

It's not your fault. You're already doing your best

to free the akumatized people and fix all the damage they cause.

Maybe, but magic ladybugs don't fix everything.

[♪ sad music]

[Marinette sighs]

-[♪ upbeat music] -[indistinct chatter]

[whimpers]

It's too hard! I can't do this!

-[Aglae crying] -We can't leave her like this.

[Aglae] I thought I was doing better,

but it's actually getting worse.

I'll stay home tomorrow

and never go out again if it means I won't be scared anymore.

No, don't do that.

We can come up with a solution. I can craft you a...

Let's say an anti-bug protection suit!

Or we could look for a more rational solution,

one that would actually help Aglae overcome her fear.

When it comes to phobias or fears,

seeing a specialist is most recommended.

I myself see a psychiatrist because I'm on the autism spectrum.

The autism spectrum? What's that?

It means I see things in a different way than you do.

[Markov] Neuroatypical brains provide new insight into the world!

The problem is that our environment is designed for neurotypical people.

In my case, for example, lateness can be distressing

as well as misplaced things and unfamiliar places.

That's why I see Dr. Psiquat every Thursday at 6:15 p.m.

She helps me overcome my difficulties.

But I'm not on the autism spectrum.

It doesn't matter, Dr. Psiquat can also help people

with phobias. You're scared of butterflies,

and I was scared of the dark, germs, mice,

but I talked to her and it helped me.

That sounds so lame. I'd never go.

Too bad because it can also help senseless and mean people like you.

Don't listen to toxic people with failed socializing, Aglae.

But what will I talk to Dr. Psiquat about?

Things you don't always want to tell other people.

-And that helps you feel better? -A lot better.

Hmm, okay, I'll give it a try.

-[♪ tense music] -[Aglae whimpering]

Thanks for coming with me, friends.

Oh, my! Alya, Max, Juleka, Mylene.

I'm not sure I'll have time to see all of you.

Aglae's your only appointment, Dr. Psiquat.

-We just came with her. -Oh, your friends came with you.

Quite significant and very kind of you all.

If you're ready, Aglae,

you can come with me.

[♪ soft piano music]

[Aglae] What's with all the models?

Well, life can take many different paths,

so many that you can sometimes feel lost,

but I'm here to help you find your own path

and pick the right vehicle to travel down it with serenity.

You can have the car if you like it

and you can sit anywhere you want.

I spoke to your dad on the phone.

He told me about some issues you've been having,

but I'd like to hear it in your own words.

What would you like to talk to me about?

I don't know.

Your dad mentioned a problem with

-butterflies? -[whimpers]

It's because of the day I got akumatized.

It was the first day back at school.

Ladybug had claimed that she defeated

supervillain Hawk Moth, so I thought I'd be safe

to leave my house again and go back to school.

It had been so long that I didn't know

how to act around people anymore.

I'd shake, stammer,

I felt like I had become an alien.

I wanted to be part of the group, but I couldn't do it.

Since it was the first day back at school, my science teacher,

Mrs. Dubocquale, had planned a visit

to the butterfly house and the lab there.

I wanted to go with the group, especially

because I used to love butterflies

and biodiversity as a whole.

Besides, I thought that all the akumatizations were over,

that I had no reason to be scared anymore.

[♪ tense music]

[gasps]

I couldn't do it,

and yet I really wanted to follow them,

to do like them, to be like them,

but I just couldn't do it.

And that's when they showed up.

-[wheels creaking] -[music stops]

Dr. Psiquat's awesome. It helped a lot to talk to her, you know?

[Marinette] I didn't know you were seeing her, too. What for?

Well, let's just say some kind of complicated family issues.

You never told me about that.

I worked it out a long time ago.

I don't even think about it anymore.

Do you think I could talk to Dr. Psiquat about my father?

Your father? Why? You can talk to me about him, right?

Yes, of course, you're right.

Talking with Dr. Psiquat's different, Marinette.

She's someone from the outside with specific skills to help.

I help him. I'm his girlfriend, you know?

I know, but that's not the point.

How can I put this?

Okay, let's say we're in a video game

and Adrien is trapped in a maze being chased by a ghost.

You can face the ghost and temporarily help Adrien,

but the ghost will always come back.

Until Adrien figures out why he can't face the ghost,

he'll be stuck in the maze.

Dr. Psiquat can help him find the exit by guiding him from the outside.

[victory jingle]

-See what I mean? -[hesitating] I think I do

and I'd like to try.

It doesn't mean you're not helpful.

Adrien can talk to both of you,

but you'll be there to support Adrien while Dr. Psiquat will heal him.

-[♪ whimsical music] -[both chuckle]

We can stop for now if you feel like you need a break.

No, I want to keep going.

All right, you were saying,

"That's when they showed up."

-Who are "they"? -[sighs]

[Aglae] They asked me what was wrong.

I told them I was scared of butterflies.

They said they'd help me,

that they'd walk into the greenhouse with me.

[wings fluttering]

They closed the door behind me

and I was suddenly all alone.

I could have walked back out,

but I couldn't think straight.

I don't know why. I was completely frozen

and the butterflies were flying towards me

and among them there was...

There was an Ultrakuma, is that it?

Strange voices spoke to me and I knew right away

that there was a new villain in Paris,

that someone had gotten their hands on the Butterfly Miraculous

lost by Ladybug,

and that this someone was even scarier than the one before them.

They said that they'd help me show people

who make fun of my fears how dangerous butterflies can be.

I accepted

and I don't remember anything that happened next,

like everyone who's been akumatized,

but people told me and there are videos online,

so I still have these mental images.

[Psiquat] What kind of images?

I saw videos of me where I'm barely recognizable.

I looked like a huge butterfly

and I was attacking the boys who had made fun of me.

I was told that I called myself Lady Butterfly

and that I trapped people inside cocoons,

but I didn't stop at the three boys.

From what I heard, I went after everyone in Paris.

Next, according to witnesses,

Ladybug and the Miraculers showed up...

[sobs] ...and saved me.

[Psiquat] So, the whole story didn't end so badly.

Ladybug saved you and everyone was freed.

-[chimes] -[all gasp]

Yes, but I could get akumatized again.

I'm so scared all the time

and I know that makes me even more vulnerable.

This fear, precisely, it's quite significant.

Why were so scared of getting akumatized

even before it happened to you?

Because of Time Breaker!

[Psiquat] What am I supposed to see in the photo?

-Me! -But you're not in the photo, Aglae.

I am!

She made me disappear!

And how did you feel about that?

As I was disappearing, I completely lost track of time.

I didn't know if seconds or months were passing.

I was scared that soon, I would no longer exist,

that I'd never see my friends again or my family,

that I would no longer be able to do any of the things I want to do!

But that time, too, Ladybug fixed everything, didn't she?

Yes, and when the magic ladybugs repaired everything,

I thought I'd be able to enjoy life again,

even more than before, but a few days later,

a butterfly landed on me, and that's when it all started.

I used to love them, but now I was terrified of them.

I went home and I shut myself in my room,

I was too scared of something bad happening to me.

[Psiquat] Thank you for telling me all this, Aglae.

Now what we're going to try is to, so to speak,

de-evilize you like Ladybug did when you were akumatized,

except she did it for you.

I'm going to need you to do it for yourself.

[hesitating] What do you mean?

Here's what I propose in our next session.

-We'll do an exercise... -Hold on!

What next session? Won't I be healed today?

Oh, I'm afraid not.

Healing depends on the road ahead

and on the vehicle you're traveling in.

-Try to have patience. -But that's not possible.

I can't wait! I can't stay like this!

It's good to be eager, but--

I was told that if I came here and talked, I would feel better!

Therapy isn't a magic solution.

It requires time. I suggest that when you feel ready,

we'll go back to the butterfly house together,

-so I can help you overcome your fears. -[straining]

No! I need you to help me right now!

You said you would do it like Ladybug!

-[♪ tense music] -What I meant was...

What is the point of coming here and spilling my guts

if you won't help me? You're useless!

I understand you're angry, but come back.

-Let's talk about it calmly. -No!

I've talked enough already and nothing's changed.

I'm never coming back! [sobbing]

Hmm?

-[elevator dings] -Is that Aglae?

[gasps]

She took the elevator!

[Chrysalis] Hello. Forgive my intrusion,

I couldn't help but sense some kind of frustration in you.

Do you feel guilty that you couldn't help the girl?

No! Get out of my head!

You're trying to use my emotions to manipulate me,

but I'll never help you hurt people!

-I understand your reaction. -[gasps]

There are many misunderstandings about me.

Unlike what you'd want to believe,

I'm trying to help people, not hurt them.

Wouldn't you desire a magical solution

that could heal people, for example?

There is no such thing as a magical solution!

And yet that's what Ladybug does, doesn't she?

Magically fixing everything with a swing of her yo-yo?

Thanks to me, you could do the same and put an end to people's needless suffering.

I can sense your hesitation,

and perhaps you're right, people should find their paths on their own.

Who cares if they suffer for months, sometimes years on end?

I'll leave you be.

No, wait! I...

-[♪ dark music] -I'll give it a try!

You will? In that case, what should I call you?

Wreckless Driver!

[whirring]

[music fades]

[Marinette] Aglae! Aglae, what happened?

This was never a good idea.

I can't be healed. I'm going home

and shutting myself away forever.

There's nothing that can be done!

The first session is an unexceptional experience

in seven out of ten cases.

-It doesn't mean you should stop. -[all gasp]

[all gasp]

Aglae, come back! I can heal you instantly now just like you wanted!

[gasping]

No, you've been akumatized!

-What are you doing? -I'm gonna try to help Aglae.

I'll be super careful, I promise!

[♪ harrowing music]

[grunts]

I think it's best to cut Dr. Psiquat's session short for today.

-Tikki, Spots On! -[chimes]

[grunting]

Don't tell me, you wanna play Cat Noir

-and rescue your girlfriend. -Precisely.

-Plagg, Claws Out! -[whirring]

[♪ action music]

-[panicked whimpering] -[♪ suspenseful music]

[tires screeching]

[Aglae screams]

[whimpering]

Hmm.

[trilling]

Hmm, quite significant.

You do have a phobia of insects,

and more specifically of these awful butterflies,

but I'll fix it for you.

[liquid crackling]

There, you are now de-evilized and free from all your fears.

[laughing]

[continues laughing]

Thanks to Wreckless Driver, I'm no longer scared of anything.

-Woohoo! -Uh, okay. Still, stay here, it's safer.

But there's no danger.

She healed me! How amazing!

Yeah, well, she still needs to be de-akumatized.

[sighs] If you must, but it's a shame.

She's a great superhero, too.

[♪ intriguing music]

[ding]

-[beeping] -[Cat Noir panting]

I'm on the akumatized villain's track, M'Lady.

-Huh? -[♪ suspenseful music]

Woohoo!

Whoa... [laughs]

Two safety measures are better than one.

No need for safety, Cat Noir!

I used to be afraid of cars, but not anymore. Hmm!

[Cat Noir] You can't stay here, sir.

Why not? This is where the sun is.

True, but it's also where cars are.

That's okay, drivers have eyes.

They'll avoid me.

-[tires screeching] -Whoa! I'm sorry,

but I can't let you take this kind of risk.

[man whimpers] Huh?

-Hey, team. -Voyage!

[grunts]

Clout!

[Driver cackling]

Are you afraid of me, Ladybug?

Hmm? Quite significant!

Of course I'm not. We just have to stop you!

But you're not sure whether it's the right thing to do?

I am, you can't speed up solutions like this

without there being some other price to pay.

Sometimes meaningful help takes time.

-Are you sure? [cackles] -[screams]

[Driver grunting]

[Ladybug shouts and grunts]

She's gonna drive us buggy!

[Driver] That's quite a significant observation.

We could go for some group therapy.

I'd rather go for a...

-[♪ upbeat theme music] -Lucky Charm!

[chimes]

Uh, okay. Not sure this will help.

[♪ tense music]

[Driver] What in the world is all this?

[shouting and grunting]

-[button clicks] -[wiper squeaking]

[whimpering]

Those are some awesome illusions, Rena.

Pegasus, we need your portals.

Voyage!

[chuckles]

[shouts]

Looks like it's bath time!

Power Up!

[Ladybug] The Ultrakuma must be in the car, Kittycat.

It's worth a try, M'Lady. Catacl...

Huh? Aah!

Cat Noir? Everything okay?

Let's see what you're afraid of, Cat.

[trilling]

Oh, of course! Revealing your secret identity.

Quite significant!

Well, time to de-evilize.

There! You are now de-evilized and free. [gasps]

What's going on?

[Chrysalis] It's fine, Wreckless Driver. I'm just helping you.

[blows]

-[gasps] -[screams]

[Chrysalis] I've deprived him of his powers. He's at your mercy.

You can seize his Miraculous now.

That's not significant at all.

I told you I only want to do good.

Precisely, if we got our hands on the Cat Miraculous,

we'd only need the Ladybug one.

Then we can make a wish for people to be freed

from their fears all across the world.

Hm, that would be very significant.

-[Chrysalis] Wouldn't it? -Ah!

[Cat Noir] Ah, M'Lady, am I glad to see you!

This akumatized villain is amazing.

Thanks to her, I'm no longer afraid

of revealing my secret identity.

I can finally tell you--

No talking with your mouth full, Kittycat.

-[♪ suspenseful music] -[grunts, gasps]

[shouts]

Polymouse!

Attack!

[Driver shouting]

Whenever you're ready, Purple Tigress.

Clout!

Clout!

[music fades]

[Rena] Why hasn't she transformed back?

I don't see an Ultrakuma, which means it wasn't in the car.

[gasps] Maybe it was something inside the car.

[♪ tense music]

[gasps]

[Ladybug] No more evil-doing for you, Ultrakuma.

[♪ upbeat theme music]

Time to de-evilize!

Gotcha!

-[music softens] -Bye bye, little butterfly.

I'm...

Miraculous Ladybug!

[chimes]

[all grunt]

[♪ touching music]

This magical charm will help you remember

that you should believe in yourself.

You're a good therapist.

I'm sure you've helped a lot of people,

people who have had family problems, phobias,

or communication issues.

You never needed a magical solution

because you already know how to de-evilize people, for good,

even though it can take a while sometimes.

Thank you, Ladybug.

[all] Pound it!

[Chrysalis] You will tell me your secret in the end, Ladybug,

and when you do, it won't be the way you think.

[Aglae] I'm sorry, it's my fault you got akumatized.

No, it's not.

I let my own emotions get the better of me.

Besides, it's over now.

But I'm still afraid.

Fear can be a good thing.

It teaches us to be cautious

and not put ourselves in danger,

but in your case, fear of insects

has become a phobia that keeps you from enjoying your life.

That's why we're here with your friends to help you feel better.

Go as far as you want and stop any time you want.

-Okay? -Mm-hmm.

[♪ intriguing music]

[sharp exhale]

[soft chuckle]

[♪ uplifting music]

[whimpers, heavy breathing]

Do you want to go back out?

Yes.

That's an excellent start, Aglae,

and now you know no matter how it takes,

you won't be alone to travel your path.

You've found a wonderful vehicle,

friendship.

Thanks for coming with me and for understanding

my need to talk to Dr. Psiquat.

-Of course. -[Psiquat] Adrien Agreste?

[♪ touching music]

So, what do you need to talk about, Adrien?

There's something...

strange about my father.

[music fades]

[♪ theme music playing]
