Hello folks, and welcome back to Wrong Every Time. Today I figured we\u2019d treat ourselves to a fresh episode of Spy x Family, and see what cozy shenanigans our diversely talented found family are getting up to. Spy x Family has proven itself a warm security blanket of a show on the whole, exploiting Tatsuya Endo\u2019s keen talents for comedic timing and anticlimax in order to spice up a fundamentally heartwarming exploration of three strange outsiders discovering trust and community in each other.<\/span><\/p>\n

It\u2019s a show that never fails to buoy my spirits in difficult or anxious times, and that is an eminently honorable pursuit. I\u2019m sure you all know I love the shows that break my heart, but equally precious to me are the shows that offer comfort in the storm, speaking to both our common humanity and the glory of talented artists celebrating all that is warm and beautiful in life. I\u2019ve greatly enjoyed our time with the Forger family, and am thankful that our journey through Spy x Family\u2019s first season has carried us all the way to these goofballs\u2019 triumphant return. Let\u2019s see what nonsense awaits at the end of Spy x Family\u2019s first season!<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

Episode 25<\/b><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

God, this continues to be a devilishly effective OP in terms of conveying the warmth of a place where you belong. It makes sense that the show began with an OP emphasizing the more energetic, hook-laden spy end of this fusion, but this feels like an ideal tone setter for what Spy x Family has swiftly become<\/span><\/p>\n

It\u2019s simply comforting and invigorating to spend time with characters who genuinely enjoy each other\u2019s company. I feel like a lot of quiet dramas and slice of life shows are similarly freewheeling in terms of the relation between their elevator pitch and their actual content – you need something like \u201cthey don\u2019t know about each other\u2019s secret identities\u201d to get folks in the door, but the ultimate payoff is just people trying to grow closer<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The absence of music and distant sounding of a bell create a sense of anticipation as we enter the episode proper. Stillness in visual and sound design always creates a sort of pregnant hush, telling the viewer to pay close attention to whatever happens next<\/span><\/p>\n

And indeed, this is a momentous occasion: the Eden College Social Gathering, the event around which the entirety of Operation Strix was constructed<\/span><\/p>\n

So the episode title \u201cFirst Contact\u201d must refer to the first meeting between Loid and Damian\u2019s father. An appropriately consequential milestone for the end of our first season; given the initial operation was plotted entirely around engineering this meeting, I\u2019m curious to see how this episode will establish Loid\u2019s future objectives<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

With Anya still nowhere near the level of an Imperial Scholar, it appears Loid is performing an incognito infiltration. Feels like we\u2019re slightly chafing around one of Spy x Family\u2019s baseline preposterous assumptions: the idea that it\u2019d somehow be most convenient to establish an entire family in order to actually be invited to this event, rather than infiltrating it in the guise of a guard, host, or by replacing a kidnapped attendee. You can generally ask your audience to believe at least one impossible thing for the sake of establishing your narrative, but you don\u2019t want to then turn around and draw attention to that charitable suspension of disbelief<\/span><\/p>\n

This is also why I tend to consider parodies that make hay over the goofy assumptions of one or another genre to be one of the lowest forms of comedy. It\u2019s not insightful to underline how genre fiction involves suspension of disbelief; we\u2019re not idiots who aren\u2019t aware of the trick, we\u2019ve simply all agreed to suspend our disbelief in order to facilitate an interesting story<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Loid here explains the origin of Operation Strix as the result of many prior failed attempts to infiltrate directly, each of which led to increasingly vexing security measures. It is an author\u2019s privilege to be able to set up such ironclad retroactive explanations, answering reader questions with a firm \u201cthey tried that and it didn\u2019t work.\u201d And again, any reasonably sentient viewer understands that coherent stories often require a winnowing of possibilities in order to provoke a particular dramatically fertile result – to say \u201cwell, why didn\u2019t they try <\/span>this<\/span><\/i>\u201d is to drift from the realm of meaningful textual criticism into the media-illiterate inanity of stuff like Cinema Sins<\/span><\/p>\n

We are treated to a digital grid of the venue\u2019s layout, a clever exploitation of the prep work that already goes into these digitally constructed backgrounds<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u201cThe purpose of Operation Strix is to establish a continuing relationship with Desmond. To get into his good graces and extract information from him.\u201d That does indeed severely limit the number of viable options for a successful infiltration. It\u2019s easy to look like you belong somewhere a single time, but becoming a known regular requires a far greater degree of integration into your environment<\/span><\/p>\n

Loid\u2019s statement that Desmond might simply never attend again if he gets suspicious is lent validity by our prior understanding of Desmond as a fundamentally distant father<\/span><\/p>\n

We witness a phone call between Damian and his brother Demetrius. It\u2019s clear Demetrius also sees Damian as a burden, opening with \u201cwhat do you want\u201d in spite of Damian\u2019s fervently apologetic manner. Their conversation incidentally reveals that even Demetrius rarely interacts with their father directly, as the scholar event is apparently one of the few opportunities Damian has to ferry a message of his own through Demetrius to his father<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Oh my god, this goofy scampering animation for Anya tailing Damian down the hall is so good. This show is replete with simple pleasures<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cPerhaps she\u2019s following us to get in your father\u2019s good graces.\u201d An unusually cunning deduction from Damian\u2019s football-headed underling<\/span><\/p>\n

In spite of his doubts, Loid is also beginning to trust Anya\u2019s methods and intentions. Even his internal analysis of her behavior has softened<\/span><\/p>\n

Dang, the older Imperial Scholars look quite intimidating. They\u2019re really rocking those capes, a hard look to pull off<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u201cYou\u2019re a special VIP too, since you\u2019re his son!\u201d At this unconsidered praise from his lackeys, Damian loses his nerve and decides to cancel the meeting, undoubtedly mentally admonishing himself for the presumption of assuming he deserved to meet with his father<\/span><\/p>\n

But Anya\u2019s there to, uh, offer support? \u201cSecond Son\u2019s scared. Anya knows\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cAnya\u2019s a little scared because she\u2019s not sure if Papa loves her or not. But I believe in him because I love him.\u201d Ah, a perfect direction to take all of this. In spite of literally reading Loid\u2019s often cynical thoughts, Anya has chosen to put her faith in him, and is thus perfectly positioned to urge Damian to embrace a similar faith in his own family. Her blunt acceptance of her faults and doubts gives Damian the courage to not be constrained by his own<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Loid uses a replica of Anya\u2019s sheep keychain as an excuse to infiltrate the garden himself, allegedly in search of his daughter\u2019s lost item<\/span><\/p>\n

He then pushes further, making a dramatic apology to Damian for Anya\u2019s behavior on the first day. Damnit Loid, you\u2019re fucking up Damian\u2019s chance here!<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m truly sorry, Damian.\u201d Love the contrast between Loid\u2019s razor-focused expression and genuine sympathy in this moment – the man he still has to be for his work versus the understanding and appreciation for the emotional needs of children that he\u2019s developed through the course of Operation Strix<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

And at last, Desmond and Loid are face to face<\/span><\/p>\n

Excellent use of shading to amplify Loid\u2019s menace through his introduction<\/span><\/p>\n

A brief cutaway with Handler serves to reaffirm the tension of this moment, emphasizing how Loid\u2019s conversation is the spearpoint of this whole war<\/span><\/p>\n

Ooh, some lovely loose brush strokes as Loid hypothesizes as to what lies in Desmond\u2019s heart<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Desmond waves away Loid\u2019s apology, stating that it was only a squabble between children. A harsh loss for both Loid and Damian – there\u2019s no way Loid can apply pressure via this lever, because Damian considers an insult to his son beneath his notice<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cNo, you have every right to be angry, Damian. I\u2019ll be sure to lecture her so this doesn\u2019t happen again.\u201d In spite of directly contradicting the perspective of his actual target, Loid can\u2019t help but assure Damian that he is right to feel this way. A clear, potentially damning indication of how Loid has come to value the heartfelt emotions of children even more than the completion of his mission<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u201cI guess a parent shouldn\u2019t assume they can control their child.\u201d Anya has changed Loid and taught him to more freely speak from the heart, but this might be the worst possible moment to be sharing that revelation<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cYou are correct. Even a child that shares your blood is ultimately a stranger. People will never be able to understand each other.\u201d Fortunately, Desmond is so certain in his own misanthropic philosophy that Loid\u2019s words actually register as flattering to his perspective<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s true. \u2018We can talk it out\u2019 is nothing but idealism.\u201d And in turn, Desmond\u2019s harsh words remind Loid of the stakes involved here, and the cruelty he is attempting to avert, sliding him back towards his initial calculating perspective. Man, what a fiery, emotionally loaded conversation! A terrific choice for the climax of this first season<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWhat\u2019s truly important is to keep walking beside them in spite of that.\u201d Love does not require total understanding. Loid\u2019s spy instincts rally against the inevitability of unknowable variables, but his experiences as a parent have taught him that such surprises are actually one of the great joys of life<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u201cDidn\u2019t you also make time for your son, in spite of how busy you are?\u201d Loid\u2019s experiences as a father are allowing him to confidently push against Desmond\u2019s words, which is actually likely to foster a stronger connection than if he merely echoed Desmond\u2019s ideas back at him<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cAnya doesn\u2019t actually dislike you. It\u2019d make me happy if you could be friends with her, too.\u201d And concluding on a healthy push for Anya\u2019s own mission. This has been a highly successful conversation!<\/span><\/p>\n

And with Anya\u2019s words encouraging him, Damian is able to finally relate his school successes to Desmond, earning a precious \u201ccontinue working hard\u201d in response<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

And Done<\/b><\/p>\n

Man, what a triumphant note to end on! The long-awaited first meeting with Desmond served as a key victory for Loid, Anya, and even the young Damian, with both the Forgers\u2019 support facilitating a precious moment of connection between father and son. And over the course of that encounter, it was repeatedly made clear how much Anya\u2019s presence has changed Loid, teaching him to pursue his grand political aims without losing sight of the lonely young boy he once was, or all the children he\u2019s currently fighting for. Anya\u2019s faith in Loid, Loid\u2019s appreciation for Anya\u2019s unknowable eccentricities, Damian\u2019s melancholy pursuit of recognition – all of Spy x Family\u2019s best threads were validated and furthered across that tense conversation, which simultaneously served as one of the show\u2019s most deliciously layered acts of espionage. A fantastic note to go out on, and a devilishly effective hook for the next season!<\/span><\/p>\n
