| It's tough for a girl like Annette to decide the fate of someone, especially someone like Matlida. Even as an enemy spy, she is still her mother. Tbh, I think this episode tested the mental abilties of Annette and how she can play her role even under pressure. Lot of background storytelling this episode. It's kinda dragging the pacing somewhat but understandable for the plot. |

| While i understand why ... I still am gonna go and ask, why are all the spies, even the bad ones, these incredibly attractive anime girls ... I feel like in this third episode of a second season, this question was not asked enough. Anyway, they did the mother-child dynamic, i wonder if they have the balls to make the mr. and mrs smith dynamic, which would be something one would expect from a spy show ... no way right, nerds would revolt, lol. |
 |
| Matilda has revealed her true self at the end of the episode. The next episode gonna be an exciting one. Who is Monica fell in love with?! Who is Monica fell in love with?! Hmmmmm....... hehehe I'll not tell you. π |

| It's been much better than the last cour so far, I've been more engaged with this arc for sure, though some of the flashbacks still hurt the pacing overall and it felt a bit dragged. Looks like there is still more material to go here, as Matilda has the spies where she wants them, probably. |
| I guess turf wars are a thing no matter where you go. That was quite the dilemma that Thea's team had. Thea sure had quite the traumatic event happen to her though. She was lucky that Heath and her team were there for her. This also explained why she looked up to ehr that much. Heath sounded like someone that was pretty wise. Monika sure made taking down giants easy. Still Thea's way of forcing her hand sure was creative. From the looks of things though Matilda ended being a bigger wolf than they thought possible. |

| "When I get home, I'm going to retire from being a spy." But then she'll get assasinated for knowing too much, no? Or I guess it could work if she was a minor spy without much access to information. 13:48 Oh, this is the scene from the end of season 1. We got here finally. For some reason I feel like Monika is in love with Thea lol. Aaand yep, she had wrapped them around her finger this whole time. |
 |
| Well it looks like Matilda is devious and going to scheme from the inside of the group and am more interested in Monika and who it is in the group she is in love with |
| if it wasn't for the smirk at the very end i was gonna be pretty disappointed at least Monika and Thea fighting was kinda hot |
   |
| "Eventually, we're going to go up against an enemy that takes advantage of that kindness." ...guess what happens next episode. |
| I still feel like I'm watching a CGDCT series with a lot of action, and I don't hate this for that. RIP Annette, someone stole her kiss... this will probably attract THOSE fellas again. Anyway, I'm glad to see another side of her in this episode. It was lovely (not the kiss scene, lol). |
| It's not that I dislike this genre but... to add unnecessary fan services to/in/for heroines and ultimately destroys her character and personality; their purity tarnished because of it, is the only thing I hope to not happen to them. For that sole purity is my fan service. |
| So the kiss scene is finally here... Now in the next episode they will adapt the end of volume 3 which has that big twist... |
 |
| Well, that was not a pleasant smile... |
 |
| A bunch of trolls in the topic. I wonder if they are chinese shut-in loosers? Russians? Indians or some JP hikkis from 4chan. On a serious note, I already spoiled myself who is Monikas crush (not Klaus) and it was pretty obvious that Matilda is just plaing a role here to get help and, maybe, get Anette back. |

| I have not looked at the accounts. Dumb of me. |
| |
| The whole "parent comes back to take their child" plot only works if the show makes you care about said child. Season 1 did a terrible job building most of, but especially Arnett's character, to the point if she did decide to leave with her mom, I just wouldn't care. You are supposed to be torn, because you want her and her mom to be reunited, but at the same time, you don't want her to leave. I don't get that, because Arnett has largely been a non-character this whole time. Hell, even this arc, which is supposed to be about her, she feels like more of a background character, with Thea and Monica being at the front and center and getting all the important screen time. I feel like this story beat would have been better if it was saved for later, once we've actually had time to get attached to Arnett as a character. And of course, the mom secretly showing her true colors at the end was painfully obvious. |
| God I love this show so much. It’s become easily one of my favourite shows ever. I’m glad we’re back to we’re season 1 left of now. Took a few episodes but I’m happy we got those episodes to clarify what led up to the whole betrayal thing I had a feeling that god dam Annette’s mother did have some ulterior motive. It’s pretty obvious from that devious ahh smile at the end. I gotta say though I was not expecting Thea to just kiss Monika though. One hell of a plot twist that Monika has a crush on someone from lamplight. Personally I don’t think it’s klaus. Especially because the most recent episode confirmed that this show has yuri elements to it. I highly doubt it’s erna, Annette or Thea. My guess is either Lilly, Sara or Sybilla. I highly doubt it’s grete either considering it would interfere with her dynamic with klaus. Monika has become my third favourite character in the show now. These would be my favourites 1 Grete 2 Lilly 3 Monika 4 Klaus Great episode hyped for next week. I’m also determined to figure out who Monika likes. |
| "Eventually, we're going to go up against an enemy that takes advantage of that kindness." That foreshadowing pretty much confirmed Matilda's true loyalties. Nice kiss, though. |
 |
| I called it, something is wrong with this woman fr. Also.. Thea still best girl, I love her sm |
| why the hell would they not go along with monika's plan? it's so obvious it's a trap, and that was made even more clear when matilda smiled like that at the end. they know what kind of business they're involved in yet they still let their personal feelings get in the way of what they're supposed to be doing. i can only hope the 4 of them will be safe. i wonder who monika has a crush on. she's probably my favorite lamplight girl, so im really interested in learning more about her. |

| Not surprised at all that my least favorite character in this show would be the one to choose the absolute stupidest option to deal with an enemy spy, and betray the entire team for her stupid shit. Matilda's sob story was a pathetic excuse, then they tried to tell a tragic backstory about Thea, which didn't work because she's trash. So Monika takes her on and all I was wishing for by the end was for Monika to put a bullet in her head. Monika is possibly my favorite not just because of her shorts I swear... but she's tough and cute and she's the only one of them with her head on straight. But straight turns out to not be the right word... because... My neighbors heard me roar with delight when she bashed into Thea. But then joy turned to anger with Thea manipulated Monika for having a crush on her. DAMMIT Monika, I love you even more now because you're so awesome but geezus your choice of crush is a poor one. |

And of course, the mom secretly showing her true colors at the end was painfully obvious. Annette as a character is important because she's important to others. She's the counterpart to Erna, even though Erna would rather her not be- but I can't imagine the two of them not being together. If she suddenly disappeared, it would be the reactions of all the others especially Erna that would make it hurt. It's actually very good writing to do this, but there are lots of characters like this. People don't realize because anime is so character-focused that the assumption always is that each one has to be self-serving and independent. The mother showing up suddenly uses Annette as a bargaining chip, it makes Matilda look immediately suspicious for the audience. Nobody is looking at this and saying- "Oh look it's her actual mom! Reunite them!" they're saying, who the hell is she all of a sudden, she obviously suspicious, how will the rest of the team react etc and what how will it play out. The introduction of that woman created a conflict in the team. Everything with the fake mom showing up is obvious, but none of the rest of this stuff that happened because of it was. And I have no idea why everyone seems to think Monika's crush is anyone other than Thea, especially after they kissed but what the hell why not. |

I highly doubt it would get a third season as I’m pretty sure season 2 was in production before season 1 and the show hasn’t had many high ratings. I’m definitely gonna read the light novel. Personally I really enjoy the show and love all the characters |
| Is this really the same Spy Classroom that had this awfully messy first season just 4 months ago? This second season is truly what I was hoping this show would be, way back when it was first announced. I like how Thea's backstory worked so well with how she supports Anette regarding Mathilda! And the fight between Monika and Thea was some great action! Especially with the insert song and Thea making use of everything she has! Also, I wonder who Monika has a crush on. Perhaps it's actually Thea herself? Finally, that last shot of her was clearly showing Mathilda cares more about her country than her daughter. Is Anette even her daughter? I don't really know where this is going, but I believe "disappearing" will be taken quite literally for Thea's team... |
| goddamit, she got kissed by thea. should've been me fr. that smirk at the end though. |
 |
| If only Monika would've made the call to Klaus the trap they're walking into could've been avoided. This will probably be heart breaking for Annette to find out that her mom (if it really is her mom) back-stabbed them as her grin at the end indicates she will. Even if the girls do get captured I think they will find a way to survive while Klaus and the other girls comes and rescues them. Nonetheless, I'm looking forward to the next episode. |
| As expected this season been way better than the first season. The source material being way better for this season is a big part of it, but it’s also being better adapted. Pacing is much better. Studio is really cooking this time around. Today’s episode covered one of my fave Spyroom chapters and they did it justice. The Thea Monika fight in the LN was so fun and it was just as good in the visual format here. Can’t wait for next week’s episode |

| Suddenly a woman get out of the pool and says that " I'm her mother" Spy's : ohhh, she's her mother, let's help her, and leave her alone with her ( daughter ), even though she popped up from the pool with her worker clothes , and don't know any actual proof of her being her legit mother. mother : I'm a spy. Spy's : ohhh she's her mother, let's help her, and leave her alone with her ( daughter ), even though she popped up from the pool with her worker clothes , and don't know any actual proof of her being her legit mother. Mother : ππ Man I just can't stand to how stupid and soft these girls are. |

| Back to Klaus and Lily going to the Foreign Intelligence Office to get their intel on an Imperial spy, and as much distrust as the military has their eyes on them, they're looking for the same person: Matilda. 2 days before Klaus's search for Matilda, Monika reporting this to him is the right thing to do, though this puts Thea at a point where she'd never considered about this, thus potentially betraying Lamplight and Annette herself. Out of sympathy, they are given a day to sort out their issues to find out what the Galgad Empire spy is up to, though her circumstances for the most part, sound true, when it comes to Annette, and this is something yet proved at a critical juncture. Hoping to get some inspiration from Hearth, the spy saviour that saved and raised her that wanted to become a hero instead of the condition she is in then, Thea now fully understands, and tells Annette the rest, and the mission to save Matilda is birth. Thea dragging Monika back to Season 1's cliffhanger scene by challenging her to a duel with Annette and Erna as collaborators, THIS is the Spy Classroom that we've should've gotten back in Winter, because it's intense as heck and delivered, exposing Monika's flaw and breaking her cold heart open into understanding Thea and her intentions of saving Matilda. With that, Thea, Annette, Monika and Erna became the group working for Matilda, intentionally going missing with Klaus and the others finding for them. What a compelling arc for the "Forgetter" Annette, though it's more on focus with "Dreamspeaker" Thea and "Glint" Monika. |

| spy vs spy that evil smile from her mother is kinda sick !! |
| So, let's summ this up. The choice is either turn Matilda in or let her go, hoping she will keep her promise and quit being a spy, potentially risking she would cause damage as an enemy spy. Turning her in is a reasonable thing to do, while sparing her is completely naive, reckless, literally a treason completely stupid, while still somewhat noble because girls are good natured and virtuous. On top of that being sentimental is a very HUGE nono for a spy. So, how we would solve this situation? Letting her go is obviously the worst possible option, because that would make them the worst spies possible, but we can't make those girls look had by condemning a nice girl to fate worse than death. Well, there is only one option: |

| Wanna add things to get spicy? Yuri innit? Ohh hell no that evil smile at the end... What a huge mistake by Thea. |
 |
| Considering all the twists we've seen so far, I would not be surprised if we're later shown that our girls already considered this possibility as well and are already a couple of steps ahead of her. |
| |
| damn matilda is gonna betray them? |
 |
| Damn that ending cliffhanger doesnt seem promising |
