Episode Description:
Despite their friends' coaching, Marinette and Adrien still refuse to get together. Adrien can't bring himself to tell a depressed Marinette his feelings while she continues to blame her love for her troubles. Seeing this, Tikki and Plagg decide to absolve them of their duties as heroes, replacing them with Alya as Scarabella and Zoé as "Kitty Noire". Monarch tries to akumatize Adrien, he aborts the first time and almost succeeds on the second, but the akuma redirects to Kouki, a kickboxer insulted by Nora. He is turned into "Kikou", a giant with the powers of the Turtle, Tiger, Ox, Horse, and Mouse Miraculouses. The new heroes defeat him while Marinette and Adrien slowly warm up to each other.
