Spy x Family Season 2 Episode 3 was a snooze-fest, but thankfully things are back to being fun in the new edition. Titled “The Pastry of Knowledge/The Informant’s Great Romance Plan II”, episode 4 is split into two parts, while the first follows Anya’s shenanigans in her school, the second half involves Loid Forger’s funny informant Freddy’s quest to locate a missing cat.

“The Pastry of Knowledge” section is centered around a rumor at Anya’s school regarding special pastries that supposedly enhance students’ intelligence and assist them in becoming scholars. Remember – if Anya becomes a top student, she can impress Damian and their friendship will benefit her father, the spy Loid Forger, in getting closer to Damian’s father through parent-teacher meetings or play-dates. So the first half episode is a comical set of events where Anya and a bunch of kids fight to eat this legendary pastry of knowledge.
The animation in this episode was expressive and well-done, featuring various scenes and mood shifts. The second half focuses on Freddy, who, after passing information to Loid Forger, tries to convince him to help find a missing cat that belongs to a woman he has a crush on. Freddy hopes that rescuing the feline can improve his chances of a romance with his crush, but Loid brutally rejects him. However, to his surprise, Yor decides to help him out. Even this section was pretty amusing, although, the actual plot of Spy x Family sees no real progress. But at least it was an entertaining filler episode.
You can stream Spy x Family on Netflix.
