Chapter 81 recap

Spy x Family chapter 81 began with Winston Wheeler running away from WISE agents through various streets and alleyways, eventually defeating all of them and escaping. This occurred as Twilight, Nightfall, and their usual team headed to Shellbury, Ostania to find Wheeler, doing so off the back of intel that he’s meeting up with the SSS there.

Nightfall suggested postponing Operation Strix, but Twilight immediately shot this down, reminding her that their job was to recover the files that Wheeler stole and that was what they were going to do. Meanwhile, Yuri and the SSS arrived in Shellbury, splitting off into various teams to keep an eye out for WISE while Wheeler prepared to meet with them.

Twilight and the group arrived just as Wheeler received word from the SSS, then scoping out the area from the roof of the hotel. Here, he somehow realizes that WISE is afoot, approaching Yuri Briar subtly on the street and changing the rendezvous to a nearby park. As the WISE agents questioned if they were detected, seemingly believing they weren’t, Wheeler met with a presumed SSS bigwig in the chapter’s final pages.

What to expect (speculative)

With the new story arc likely to kick off the explosive action soon, fans can expect Spy x Family chapter 82 to create a situation which will potentially lead to a WISE/SSS standoff. Considering the relatively low-stakes run the series has been on recently, this is set to be an incredibly exciting development.

Before getting to that, however, Spy x Family chapter 82 will likely focus on Wheeler, explaining his life and choices as a double agent. While a full-blown origin story is unlikely, fans can at least expect to learn why he chose to align with Ostania and the SSS rather than double-cross them and become loyal to Westalis and WISE.
