Recap of Episode 3

Spy x Family episode 3 focused on Yor moving in and settling into her new role as Loid’s wife and Anya’s mother. After moving in, Loid tried to prepare both her and their daughter for the upcoming Eden Academy interview, but the results were unsatisfactory.

In order to broaden their horizons, he took them to the opera and the museum, neither of which was a success. The Forger family then went to a political rally, but Anya was overwhelmed by the loud thoughts of the crowd and felt sick.

Loid and Yor immediately took her away, and Loid regretted his decision to choose these two for his mission. However, Yor took the family to a lovely viewing spot above the city, bringing a sense of calm that was immediately shattered when they witnessed a crook robbing an older lady.

While Loid was ready to overlook it, Yor dutifully chased after the thief before losing him in the crowd. With Anya’s covert help, Loid managed to locate and apprehend the culprit. The old lady thanked them and called them a 'lovely family,' a sentiment both Yor and Loid seemed to have internalized by the end of the episode.


What to expect from episode 4

So far, the anime has adapted one chapter per episode, but Spy x Family episode 4 is likely to cover chapters 4 to 6, encompassing the entirety of the admission process and its results. According to the preview, the first two tests of the admission process as well as the interview will be featured in the episode.

Spy x Family episode 4 will not only introduce Eden Academy, which serves as the primary location for most of the series apart from the Forger family home, it will also introduce Housemaster Henry Henderson. He is beloved by both manga readers and the voice actors alike, and his “Elegant” catchphrase is famous in the fandom.

Apart from that, Spy x Family episode 4 will also focus on the extent to which Eden Academy can go to screen its students. The interview, in particular, is both intriguing and taxing, and will strengthen the bond between Anya, Yor, and Loid. However, neither Becky nor Demian are likely to appear in this episode.
