I don't fully care for this episode because there some slight Racism from Chloe. Well as my older sister would on with the show.

=============================================================

"Ok. Before we start, I would like to warn to our friends that are Asian or of Asian descent," Rea told them.

Scene: The Dupain-Cheng family living room. Marinette uses with a French-to-Chinese translation app.

Marinette: You'll see Tikki. I'll say it just fine. (presses the microphone button on the app) Welcome to my home. My name is Marinette.

Translator App: 欢迎来到我的家.我的名字是马里内特.

Marinette: (repeats after the translator app, pronounces the sentence wrong) No, that's not right. (repeats the translated statement and gets it correct)

Tikki: Good job Marinette!

Marinette: I'm so nervous! Do you think he'll like them? (Marinette grabs the flowers off the coffee table.)

"I appreciate the effort honey, but you didn't need to go that far". Sabine says touched that her daughter was putting so much effort towards impressing her family.

"But I wanted to go that far Mom, I'm always willing to go that far for family". Marinette says proudly

Tikki: Well of course! They're fine!

Marinette: They can't be fine, they have to be perfect! My Mom's uncle is a super famous Chinese chef. He's very particular, so things have to be just right. (Doorbell rings.) That's him! Hide, Tikki. (Tikki hides. While going to the door, Marinette trips over the backing of her couch before opening it.)

Wang Cheng: 你好 (translator. Hello).

Marinette: Uh, welcome Mari you're at Nette's. Uh ah, welcome to Marinette's! You're Chinese! No no no no! In Mandarin! (Marinette attempts to greet her Great Uncle in Chinese.) Ugh, no wait. (Marinette reaches for phone and hands Wang Cheng the flowers, who smells them.)

Marinette: (whisper shouts to the translator app on her phone) Welcome to my home. My name is Marinette. Ugh, this is so lame.

"No It's not marinette your doing a great job, language barriers are just very hard to deal with on such short notice". Rose says sympathetic.

"Thanks Rose, but how do you know so much about that"? Marinette asks confused

"When I wanted to meet Prince Ali I wanted to learn his native language, but I couldn't do it on such short notice. Then later I learned he speak French so I didn't have to worry anymore". Rose explains popping some popcorn into her mouth.

"Why am I not surprised". Chloe muttered facepalming.

Translator App:欢迎来到我家。我的名字是马里内特。哎,这 真...哎,这 真...哎,这 真... (app malfunctions and keeps repeating "Ugh, this is so lame!" until she closes the app and let her great uncle inside.)

Marinette: (On the phone with Alya, whom she just dialed) Alya, you've gotta help me. I don't know what to do with my mom's uncle. You know, the one I told you about? Well, I don't think I can pull this off... (Cut to Alya, sitting on a park bench)

Alya: Chill out Marinette, I got the solution. Just hang tight. (She hangs up.)

Marinette: (To the dial tone) Thank you! You're amazing. What solution? Huh? Aw...

Marinette turns to Alya slowly. "Alya"?

"Yes"?

"Next time you have a plan please explain it to me beforehand".
