Plot
The episode starts at the school’s cafeteria, where Marinette reflects on her relationship evolution with Adrien with her friends. It starts with a flashback from “The Bubbler” when Marinette gives her gift to Adrien on his birthday, then from “Gigantitan” when she declines riding home with Adrien, followed by “The Puppeteer 2” where she rides the car home with Adrien and they agree to not play pranks on each other, when he reveals that the girl he is in love with does not appreciate them either.
Marinette decides that Adrien has to see her in a new light so they can get together, but Alya tells her that her quirkiness is what makes her attractive. Meanwhile, Nino and Adrien are watching on of Harry Clown’s comedy sketches on a bench. Adrien looks up and sees Marinette gesticulating, which makes him laugh. Nino thinks Adrien was laughing at the comedy sketch and decides to show him more, and Marinette has an idea to make Adrien like her.
Once Adrien leaves in the car, Marinette interrogates Nino, who explains that they were watching Harry Clown’s sketches. She remembers that he visits the bakery every day at that time and runs home, where she finds Harry buying a baguette. She tells him that she would like her and Adrien to attend his final performance in Paris. Harry, understanding that she is “a little bit crazy” about Adrien, agrees to talk to Gabriel, whom is revealed to have designed the French fry costume for Harry’s first act.
