Nice to see one member of Damian's family care about him, even if a part of her hates him due to his connection with Donovan.

Though I felt like the part with Anya, Damian, and the classmates near the end dragged on way more than it needed to. I couldn't help but agree with the other students' sentiment by the end of it, as if nothing else was coming from the conversation. But Anya's getting popular, and that's nothing to scoff at!

The little popularity contest on Eden campus towards the end (with Anya's ego running amok with her overexaggerated anecdotes and lies) had me in complete stitches. Damian's ever-conflicted frenemy relationship with Anya is too adorable.

What in the world is going on in that Melinda Desmond's head? We got a chilling glimpse of her personality split (something only lightly hinted at a couple of times previously), and I'm wondering if she wants to jealously "possess" and / or protect her son's love for her or something... and that's why she reacted to the possibility of Anya and Damian being closer friends in such a weird way earlier in the season, and why she reacted to Damian's concern about his father's view of him in this episode in an even weirder way.

Another theory I have is that she knows the kind of man Donovan was / is and sees him in her son, and that reality at least partly repulses her. Did Damian trigger that hatred of Donovan (and hence resentment towards Damian) when he worried about his dad? There's a very emotionally messed-up dynamic going on with the Desmonds and I can't wait for the story to eventually reveal more. We've seen several times now how insecure Damian is about his parents deep down, and despite what a little turd he is at times, I can't help but kinda root for the kid. Anya's relationships with her Eden classmates and faculty (and that's to say nothing of just Anya outside of school) have always been some of the show's funniest material, although I know the repeated focus on Eden College can wear thin at times for some viewers.

Is Cupid in the air or something this season? Not that Spy x Family is really about romance, but the season seemed to almost, ALMOST hint at a possible future something with
, Damian's little unwanted crush on Anya is only getting bigger, and then, based on that next-episode trailer,

So, my theory is that Melinda does love Damian, she just has very conflicting feelings since she might hate his Dad for whatever reason. Calling him "her curse", kinda like the only reason she is around might be him? But you could interpret that in both a positive and a negative way. Idk maybe im reading things wrong.

It was sweet with Yor and Anya being reunited 😭

I still don't know what's going on with Damien's mother, but it was nice that she seemed to love him at first before having the crazy switch-up 😅 and returning to her "Villa" (to I guess be the drunk solialite mom).
@GooseHybrid i think she heard a "trigger " word from Damian 👀

You know after SpyXFamily ends I'd live to see a timeskip of Anya and Damian as highschoolers it would be cool to see. I doubt that would ever happen but it would be cool to see, even if the show did just turn into a slice of life. Or a romance I suppose.

Regardless this was a good episode, it was actually cool to see Anya and Damian just break down and cry in front of their parents, shows that even with their circumstances they are still just kids at the end of the day and they still act like it.
@Phantom_373 I actually think a timeskip would work very well. It would be far into the future obviously, but imagine a super spy / assassin Anya saving her parents from bad guys.

@pn33milan Haha. That seemed to be the case for her husband/Damian's father being mentioned 😬😬😬 So much so, that at first I wondered if there would be a plot point that he's not actually Damian's father (although I just thought that for a few seconds, probably because I watch too many "Villainess"-type shows, and I guess they wouldn't go that direction).

Doesn't seem to be a healthy marriage either way though.

Also cheers for being your second post!

@HajimeNozomiUwU I think it would work well but its a shame not many anime like to take that kinda leap. Or if they do I find its at the very end of the show. But it would be really cool to see, or at least in some kinda sequel or spin off

If Damian just realized that Melinda really dislike when his father is brought up, he probably would see her more.

Becky is just great keeping Anya in check.
@BlichoBoy I mean, he's a child bro. It's natural for a child to talk about their dad

I really enjoyed this episode. Seeing Anya take comfort in Yor's arms with such a natural reaction considering what she and the other kids had to go through, was done extremely well. She might be a cheeky brat, but she's still a young kid who had to deal with something no kid should ever go through, so her crying scene did hit hard. As for Melinda, hearing her thoughts from Anya's powers does make me worry. Part of her is glad Damian is safe and sound, but another part of her wishes the complete opposite. Regardless, knowing that she did cook food for Damian the following morning did make him pretty happy.

After that, the latter part of the episode was classic Spy Family moments whenever Anya and Damian are in the same scene. The jealousy and exaggeration between both sides were off the charts and it had me laughing a lot! XD

Anya, Becky, Damian and Bill fully deserve their stella stars for their heroic efforts. Anya now has two of both stella stars and tonitus bolts. For now, I do look forward to the next episode, which seems to be more comedic focused going by the preview.

Anya and the others got a stella. Good for them.

Really glad both Yor and Loid were there for Anya. I guess if the raid did happen Loid would've done something so the kids didn't get hurt. Thankfully, he didn't have to take the risk. Anya reuniting with Yor was touching. She's a kid after all.

Wtf is Desmond's mom's problem? At first I thought maybe she was a normal mom worried about her son but then that shit happened. Does she have multiple personality disorder or something? I guess being the wife of such a high ranking political leader must be exhausting. But she really doesn't seem right in the head. She needs to see psychiatrist Loid lol.

Lmao Anya had the opportunity to be popular but ruined it by being a typical child. I wonder when she grows up if she's going to look back on her childhood and cringe at herself. Assuming she ever grows up at all. I'd love it so much if the series had actual progression and the years passed by faster. Not that I don't love the current formula. Changing the status quo would mean a lot of the current recurring jokes wouldn't work later which is a shame. That's one of the biggest problems of episodic comedies.

Anyway, great episode. Are we finally getting more Loid x Yor in the next episode? I hope so.

Not sure if this season will explore that part of the story, probably not yet, but there's indeed some psychological trauma.

i'm still after all this time trying to figure out if Anya's psychic powers are a double-edged sword...

is she so stupid because she's reading everybody's minds and her own brain doesn't have to work so hard?

or is she just naturally obtuse because of her orphanage upbringing?

or is too much of her brain busy with reading minds that she essentially has fewer braincells actively making up her intellect than normal humans?

She's actually doing pretty well, considering she's two years younger than everyone else in her class.
@Mirality ah thanks! i keep forgetting she's much younger than everybody else. considering she's their height and everything.

did Lloyd figure out she needed 'demonic tutoring' because of her age and how far behind she is educationally? it has been so long since i re-watched S1 certain smaller details have slipped my mind.

@KiliianSleipnir Nah, she lied about her age and Lloid test using her mind powers.
Since Lloid doesn't know about those, he can't plan around them. And for him, kids are a mistery so he buys most of Anya's bs in those regards.

This episode is soooo adorable: Anya and Damian bickering over one another; Melinsa is terrifying! I can't think what she's thinking: is she good or is she evil? Seems like she has a double personality. Love how Loid disguised himself to get into the scene unknown. Yor ran so fast the moment she realized Anya is safe! She's a good mom for Anya! ☺️

Anya the Hero! (*insert a Frieren joke here*)

Man, I did not expect Anya to cry like that on Yor's arm. I guess she wasn't tungsten after all.
And then Melinda's here for Damian too– I think I have an idea of her personality now, she could really be a caring mother but hates her husband so much it extends to her children? I mean she only went nuts when Damian mentioned his father...

Damian and Anya are definitely closer now but are still arch-enemies haha.

What a great end to the bus hijacking arc omg 😭 this season has easily been the best of the show so far idc and it’s just getting better and better!!

So proud of Anya, Damian, Becky etc., very well deserved stella awards, but I feel like surviving a terrorist attack probably warrants more than ONE star, especially given Anya’s performance in the face of what seemed to most people to be sure death lol.

People will really call Yor a bad mother and here our queen is running to check up on Anya and make sure she’s ok! peep how Anya breaks down and hugs Yor because the place she’s most comfortable and happy is in her mommy’s arms 🥹 they might not be a conventional family, but that doesn’t make the love any less real. Damian is the same way with Melinda, but holy shit why does the mention of her husband get her so riled up. Does she hate him? Is she bipolar?(don’t spoil I’m anime only for now) I always kinda got the vibe from his dad that he could never really love someone romantically so it wouldn’t be too surprising.

I really like how Loid expresses how much he cares about Anya in his own way. He lost his parents so young so these moments with Anya are so special to him. The way he wanted to take her to school to avoid anything happening to her again was sooo cute. Anya trying to take advantage of his kindness by getting gifts is killing me lmao.

Speaking of Anya trolling, not her getting a big head because of the Stella ceremony and becoming a celebrity at school lmaoo. Loid really birthed this girl too because why is she doing twilight esque internal monologues and over analyzing things now lol. Poor Damian getting a little jealous and had to bring her down to earth a bit.. I love them sm. Great end to the episode and arc. Can’t wait for Twiyor moments next episode!!
@Marinate1016 I agree with every single word you wrote! I’m also anime-only, so let’s suffer together haha.
About Melinda… the vibe I get is that she might have gone through some serious mental conditioning, like a sleeper cell that can be “activated” at any moment to carry out a mission. The way she completely flips when her husband is mentioned is chilling.
And that’s what makes everything so thrilling: Anya can read everyone’s minds, but she’s too little to actually understand the weight of what she’s hearing! Poor baby just wants peanuts and her mama’s hug lol.
Honestly, what I want most right now is way more deepening of the Loid-Yor-Anya family bond. I need those three being soft and domestic together; my heart can’t take much more of this fake-family-that-feels-way-too-real tension! 🥹

Meh, I've found most of this season to be kind of mediocre. There were some funny moments here and there (both in this episode and the season so far) but I'm not really feeling it like in previous seasons. Maybe its been the emphasis on plot and background and stuff rather than just funny gags.

Wow, many forget that Anya's actually already have 2 Stella star... The 1st one she received it after the incident where she save the drowning kid at the pool if I'm not mistaken.

Okay... Melinda obviously hate her husband... She hate it when Damian talking about his dad....

Geez Damian is a fine character, but sometime I hate it when he insult Anya too much...
Meanwhile Becky... She is actually mature thinking for her age....
