Spy x Family Episode 12 Recap
In a subterranean train station, Loid encounters a WISE, the Westalian Intelligence, secret contact. The undercover agent, who works as a shopkeeper there, tells Loid about a crucial task that needs to be completed right away. Soon after, the covert agent succeeds in finishing the assignment and receives commendation from another messenger from his group. But after working so hard, the relentless pressure is finally getting to him.
When Loid gets home, he hears the neighbors discussing him and his family. They have observed that Yor spends less time with her husband, and even the covert agent is rarely seen with his family. They believe Loid is maybe cheating on his wife and that he exudes a lot of uneasiness. The Forgers’ family doesn’t spend much time together, so the neighbors don’t think anything unusual is going on. The covert agent attentively listens and recognizes that if he does not take things seriously and be cautious moving forward, the fake family may be discovered.
He tells Anya and Yor to go for a walk together as soon as he arrives at his place. Yor is taken aback by the unexpected proposal, especially given how exhausted Loid appears to be. But Loid is adamant, so he chooses to take his family to the aquarium after noticing that Anya is painting a penguin. Loid notices that the WISE agent, who is posing as a grocer, wants to send him a message as the family approaches the train station.
It comes out that crucial information is going to be traded that day at the Berlint Aquarium. The terrorists are attempting to spread knowledge of a cutting-edge scientific weapon production method that has the potential to be utilized for terrible purposes. The WISE agent is relentless despite his attempts to ignore the mission since he wants to spend time with his family. She contends that because the new technology is so deadly, the lives of tens of thousands of people are on the line.
When Loid realizes how far-reaching the effects of his choice can go, he is shocked and grudgingly agrees to take on the mission. The Forgers discover their neighbors there when they subsequently arrive at the Berlint aquarium. Yor encourages them to spend the remainder of the day with them, but Loid wants to get rid of them as quickly as possible. The covert agent is concerned that, if he becomes overly focused on his task and neglects to spend time with his family, he might unintentionally blow his cover.
When the group eventually starts watching the penguins, they proceed to explore the aquarium. One of the penguins was given a capsule that contained the key to the lethal weaponry, and Loid has been told that he will find it there. Unfortunately, there are literally hundreds of penguins, making it virtually impossible to identify which one is holding the capsule.
Spy x Family Ending: Are the New Weapons Manufacturing Blueprints Intercepted by Loid?
When Loid realizes he has a long day ahead of him, he starts looking for a hint that might be able to identify the penguin he wants to find. Anya, who is also present with his father, has the ability to read minds and recognizes the significance of discovering the capsule as soon as possible. She concentrates intensely and learns to read the penguins’ minds in order to determine which one has been fed the secret intelligence capsule.
Fortunately, she eventually discovers the person Loid has been looking for with a lot of patience and persistence. She gestures toward the penguin and comments to her father that it appears uneasy and ill. Loid notices that the penguin appears to be having difficulty swallowing. He immediately assumes the identity of a worker and mixes in with the staff members who are in charge of caring for the aquarium’s creatures.
He discovers the penguin he is hunting for after impressing the other employees. She looks inside the creature’s mouth, and he can hear something trapped in the neck. With the justification that he needs medical attention, Loid takes it into a rear room where he tries to collect the capsule. But a man who claims to be a marine biologist urges him to give the penguin to him. However, Loid can quickly determine that his ID card is a fake after checking it.
The covert snoop seizes the opportunity to flee as soon as a different employee directs him to take the penguin to the hospital room rather. The fictitious marine biologist, who is actually working with terrorists, decides to warn others about him in the meantime. Anya, however, intercepts him after reading his thoughts. Anya calls for assistance and impersonates being kidnapped when she sees Yor.
The mysterious assassin is fast to close in on the untrustworthy man and knocks him unconscious with a single vicious kick. While this is going on, Loid is able to remove the capsule from the penguin’s mouth and prevent the terrorists from obtaining another hazardous weapon-making technique that has the potential to kill tens of thousands of people.
