After getting Minotaurox and Polymouse's miraculous, Ladybug head back to Master Fu's house and return them to him.
Marinette: Here you go, Master
Master Fu: Thank you, Marinette. Another day saved.
Marinette: Let's hope that's the last akuma for the day.
Master Fu: Never say never.
Marinette: See you later, Master.
Master Fu: Goodbye, Marinette. *She gets up and leaves the house. Outside, Marinette's phone buzzed. It was a message from Bridgette.*
B: We're at Luka's houseboat. Meet us there.
Marinette: Hmm. Why are they all there? *She goes to his houseboat.*
Tikki: What do you think the issue is?
Marinette: I don't know, but I'm gonna find out what it is. *She keeps going.*
Outside, Luka, Jessica, Adrien, Aeon, Marin, and Bridgette wait for Marinette to come, and soon they see her.
Marinette: What's wrong?
Marin: Think Luka's gonna tell us about his dad.
Marinette: I didn't know you have a dad.
Luka: It's complicated. All I know is he's trying to get back with my mom.
Jessica: Do you want him to do that?
Luka: Half of me wants to, but the other half doesn't want to. He missed out on my and Juleka's life when we were young. He has a new family and left me, my sister, and my mom. I'm not sure if I'm ready for him to be back in my life.
Jessica: Wow. Didn't know you had a rough life when your dad was here and just left you. That must've been tough.
Luka: It was, but we learned to live with it.
Marin: Sorry to hear that.
Bridgette: You could give him another chance. Give it a month or two and see how things are going. You might get that special bond back again.
Luka: Doubt it.
Aeon: It doesn't hurt to try.
Adrien: We'll go with you and see what happens.
Marinette: If it doesn't work out, it's okay. You still got us, y'know.
Luka: Thanks, guys. Let's go. *They go to the houseboat, and Luka opens the door.* Mom, where's dad? I have to talk to him.
Anarka: He's up on the deck.
Luka: Thank you. *They go up the stairs to the upper deck, and he sees his dad on the edge.* Dad? *Othiteka turned his head and see Luka.*
Othiteka: Luka?
Luka: I have to talk to you.
Othiteka: Okay. *They both sit down.* What's up?
Jessica: That's his dad?
Bridgette: Yeah. Shh.
Luka: I know when you got here, I was mad that you were here and probably wanna be back in our lives again. If you want to do that... I'll be okay with you coming back. Because... I miss you. *Tears start to fall down his face, Othiteka looked at Luka, he looked worried and he wipes his tears.*
Marin: Sounds like he's crying.
Marinette: It is. Shh.
Othiteka: Hey, don't be sad. I came here to smooth things out with your mom and maybe get back together. And to be honest, I do miss you guys too. Michael and Aria remind me of you and Juleka, things changed over the years and I know you guys miss me and I miss you too. The divorce thing was tough for me and me not being around you guys. And I'm gonna do better as a father to you guys and with my other kids. I have a feeling you guys might get along well. Don't let me be around here to make you sad. *Luka sniffed and wipe his tears and look at his dad.*
Luka: It's not that. It's everything. I know you haven't been around much and I know why. I just wish you didn't leave.
Othiteka: Me too. I thought about moving back in with you guys. It might take me days or weeks for this to happen.
Luka: Where do you live now?
Othiteka: I live in New York now. But we'll have a better life with you guys again. Like the old days. *Luka grinned and he hugs his dad, Othiteka grinned at Luka and he hugs his dad.*
Luka: I love you, dad.
Othiteka: I love you too, Luka.
Jessica, Aeon, and Bridgette: Awwwww. *Othiteka looked behind and see them.*
Othiteka: Guess you have some friends.
Luka: I do. *They get up and face the others.* Guys, this is Othiteka, my dad. *They said hi to him and he said hi back.* These are my friends: Adrien, Jessica, Aeon, Marin, and Bridgette. And Marinette, my girlfriend.
Marinette: Nice to meet you, Mr. Couffaine.
Othiteka: Pleasure is all mine. I can see why my son loves you, you're his melody.
Marinette: He told you that?
Othiteka: Yes. *Luka looked away and blushed.*
Inside, they all sit and talk for a little bit, Marinette looked at pictures of Juleka and Luka.
Anarka: Liking the old pictures? That's Luka when he was a baby. Adorable isn't he?
Marinette: He is.
Anarka: He takes it after his father.
Marinette: I can tell.
