A quick recap of episode 7 “The Target’s Second Son”
Spy x Family episode 7 “The Target’s Second Son” started with Anya sulking after the fight the previous day with Damian. Loid tells her not to worry about the incident, but that she must apologise to Damian later that day (for the sake of his mission, more than Anya’s social status at school).
In their first class, the rest of the class stare at Anya and comment on the fight with Damian, who himself can’t stop staring at her and questioning how she got the better of him…Anya ends up falling asleep.
Loid tries desperately to get Anya to apologise for the rest of the day and at lunchtime, she confidently walks up to Damian, but ends up breaking down into tears after hearing the constant insults thought of by his friends. Damian refuses to accept Anya’s apology and runs out of the hall, clutching his now fast-beating heart and repeating that the two will never be friends.
Cut back to the Forger household, where Loid is trying to get Anya to study with limited success. Yor offers no tangible help to Anya, who ends up storming into her room and sulking.
Loid reflects on his behaviour and thinks how he needs to be Anya’s ideal father and focus on her wellbeing as much as his own mission with Operation Strix. A few hours later, he enters Anya’s room only to find her asleep at her desk…study books open.

However, a second merch line was then promoted by the official Spy x Family Japanese website, a new collection of UNIQLO graphic T-shirts that will be released in Japan in early-June.
Four different patterns are being included as part of the collection, with prices reportedly starting from 1,500 Yen (that’s less than $12 in the US!)
“The “UT” is a temporary family made up of the three members of the family: Twilight, a skilled spy, Anya, a psychic daughter, and Yol, an assassin’s wife, together with the iconic logo graphic. The design of the “UT” featuring Anya was inspired by the star (Stella) that appears in the film. Anya’s expression hidden in the breast pocket is sure to tickle the hearts of fans.” – SPY-FAMILY.
You can find more information on the T-shirts here.
