#ranting & processing

apparently Adrien is not allergic to feathers anymore!????

Ms. Tsurugi can see?????????? With ROBOT EYES!!????? (is that what was happening? she sure was looking at a lot of things for a blind woman? also wtf was the dead bonsai thing??)

Kagami told her mother she's a Miraculous user!???????

Jumping ahead here, but on that note: Marinette KNOWS that Kagami's mother knows she's a Miraculous user AND DIDN'T IMMEDIATELY TAKE THE MIRACULOUS AWAY FROM HER WHAAAAAATTTT!????????? This breaks ALL the rules!! Even if Tomoe wasn't a villain!!

TOMOE AGREED TO HELP GABRIEL IN EXCHANGE FOR AN "OBEDIENT" BOYFRIEND FOR HER DAUGHTER!?????? absolutely deranged behavior, it's actually funny for how cartoonishly evil it is.

LILA CALLED TOMOE MOTHER!??????? THEY WERE WORKING TOGETHER THE WHOLE TIME!?????? AND SHE KNOWS LILA IS CHRYSALIS!!!!!!????????

And they actually word for word finally confirmed/explained Felix and Kagami are sentimonsters. We knew this already, but considering this is a children's show, it as due for them to be 1000% explicit about it. Still no official confirmation on Adrien, but we know what's up. At this point it would be MORE of a plot twist if somehow Adrien WASN'T a sentimonster.

Considering the B plot of this ep and how it intersected with the A plot, I thought for sure the episode was going to end with Adrien gifting Marinette his family rings... didn't happen but they could be opening the door for that to happen in the future maybe!???

I'm not a big fan of Kagami/Felix ship, so them exchanging rings as if it was a wedding was 🤢

I'm still so flabbergasted about Tomoe. She knows her daughter is a Miraculer. She knows her daughter's boyfriend is also a Miraculer AND a sentimonster AND has control over every sentimonster. She knows about Lila (and apparently told her the whole thing). AND She's in the "Kingdom" - is what they called the evil rich people secret circle.

I can't even process that the evil rich people secret circle found a replacement for Gabriel as the Diamond. Who can possibly care about that when all the other things in this episode happened?
