This is such a small thing to focus on in the midst of everything else that happened, but I was OBSESSED with the quick, one-second reactions everyone in this episode had to discovering someone else's identity.
Nathalie dropping the fact that she used the peacock miraculous to Ladybug, and Ladybug's expression when it cut back to her. The horror in her face where you can tell she's thinking "oh my gosh, this was Mayura." Marinette quickly saying to Plagg that this is where Monarch lives while they're in Adrien's house, and Plagg's subsequent "WHAT?!" Monarch pulling whom he knew to be an untransformed Ladybug out of the cupboard, and the utter shock in his voice when he said "Marinette Dupain-Cheng?!" I am obsessed.
Yeah, all this other crazy stuff is happening, and maybe it's not the direction a lot of us thought the story would take (I certainly have my feelings about what it took to get to this point but admittedly I thought the execution of this episode was pretty epic) but these little identity reveals are the CORE of this show, the idea of them was what got me so hooked on it back when I first started watching, and it is SO COOL AND SATISFYING seeing some of them happening on screen.
