You love to see a strong start to the season!

By far, one of my favorite episodes to come out since Adrienette became a couple. They were actually not cursed?? And it definitely seems like the writers are hinting at their relationship still missing a vital piece. That line Tikki said to Marinette really stuck with me. If Marinette has everything she could want (being in a relationship with Adrien) then why is she still running off to be Ladybug when it's not needed? I'm probably delusional, but I would love if this is the writers bringing the story back to Marinette needing to love both sides of him.

THE LADYNOIR?? There was no flirting because, duh, they're both in committed relationships, but we actually got to see Adrien care enough to go and check in on Ladybug as Chat. I can't stress enough that last season, his character was so paper thin, he wouldn't have. We even got to see Ladynoir talking about their relationships, and the way they spoke once again reaffirmed my feelings that there is a missing component in their relationships without both of them loving both sides.

Overall, this felt like an awesome callback to old ML. I really hope the writers keep the ball rolling!
