Gabriel overhears Ladybug saying "my Lady" to an akuma or smthn and concludes that she is Chat Noir
(Alya): "Chat Noir, what would you say would be your first defining trait?" (Chat Noir): "My special, one of a kind, trademarked phrase of 'my lady.' " (Felix): "I'm gonna to steal that. In fact, Lila, you look wonderful, my lady." (Lila): "Stop mocking me, kitty. Or else, I'll have to throw you in a trash can." (Gabriel): "Felix is Chat Noir? And Lila is Ladybug? Even though this makes no sense, I've likely found their identities. They'll pay for deceiving me."

Me after watching ephemeral:
Poor boy he is so shook, he was not ready for this and he is not used to getting trusted with stuff
Crazy how in ephemeral that ladybug had to get 9 MIRACULOUS HOLDERS in place of chat noir (although I cant say that even if he was there they wouldn’t have needed help) but it just goes to show how important chat noir is to the team like in desperada. And I’m so glad that ladybug didn’t get irrationally angry at him for being unable to help her at the moment.
