Spy X Family “The Counter Secret Police Cover Operation” Review
Spy X Family “The Counter Secret Police Cover Operation” is the eighth episode of the Spy X Family anime. Following the studying that Anya failed to do in episode 7 Loid continues to encourage her, patiently. Anya continues to struggle academically, leading Loid to doubt her ability to earn the Stella Stars in the four month timeframe requested by Handler. Later that night, Yuri, who secretly works for the Ostanian State Security Service (SSS), visits Yor after interrogating a WISE informant from within the City Council. Yuri, who is heavily attached to Yor and finds it hard to accept her marriage, barrages Loid with questions in the hope of catching him off-guard but unintentionally inebriates himself out of frustration. Realizing that Yuri is guiding their conversation using a template by the Ostanian Intelligence Agency, Loid deduces that he is a member of the SSS. A drunk Yuri then requests that Loid and Yor kiss in front of him after he sees them act uncomfortable from touching hands, threatening to annul their marriage if they fail to do so.
Proving Their Love
This was the most hilariously awkward episode. I dunno if Yor and Loid know it or not yet but they’re totally into each other, seeing the usually unflappable Loid and Yor acting like awkward as hell teenagers on their first date was hysterical. Maybe it’s just me but I’ve got a feeling Yuri may end up jeopardising the mission if they don’t manage to convince him they’re actually in love. Or I could be worrying over nothing, I’m good at that when it comes to my favourite characters. Anya is of course as adorable as ever and working hard to keep her promise to Loid in her own way but it’s difficult. She’s clearly struggling but I think she’ll be OK, especially with Damian liking her.
