Chapter 86 recap
Spy x Family chapter 86 began with Wheeler hitting the wall and falling unconscious after Nightfall’s last attack on him. As she approached him to strike again, Twilight woke up and told her to stop since both of their deaths were unnecessary. The two then tied Wheeler up, with Nightfall then realizing that Twilight may have heard some of what she said about her feelings towards him.
It became apparent this wasn’t the case, as Twilight took Nightfall’s flushed expression as her being angry with him for losing his edge. After apologizing for this, he explained that the wound on his arwasis from Yuri Briar, who he didn’t kill due to Yuri’s concern for Yor being her motivation to enact their fake marriage.
Nightfall internally called Twilight out on this, saying it’s a dirty move to cover up his feelings for Yor by framing his actions as necessary for Operation Strix.
The episode then saw the two rescued by a fellow WISE operative, with all four of them successfully escaping shortly thereafter. Loid was returned home, where Yuri explained why she made up her gripes with him and expressed joy at his needing to rely on her. Yuri later arrived, noticing Loid’s arm being injured but not finding a bullet wound when inspecting.
The chapter ended by revealing that Loid covered up the wound as he lamented losing his edge.
What to expect (speculative)
Following the conclusion of the Wheeler arc, Spy x Family chapter 87 will most likely give fans some lighthearted Anya fun at Eden Academy before returning to Twilight’s melancholy. While Anya’s happy-go-lucky side stories are nearly impossible to predict plot-wise, fans can expect them to be very carefree and jolly nonetheless.
However, the series will eventually need to return to a focus on Twilight, whether within Spy x Family chapter 87 or beyond. Although narrowly avoiding being outed by Yuri, it seems that the series is building towards something big with Twilight and his Loid Forger persona.
