Interesting to know more about Annett's mother and some more about her family side. 

It was also neat to see the girls go on a vacation, a much deserved one imo. Seems this season may once again focus on each of the main girls? We'll see. Props to also Thea for playing an important role on their mission.

Yeah, dont worry mom, your little girl is all happy and genki, she just spend her happy days working for a secret state organisation, killing some people from time to time, and almost always at the bring of getting something blow up, including herself.

As you can see, nothing to get riled up for. Just happy little accidents, as a great man once said.

It was a pretty comfy episode until the end where Matilda was revealed to be a spy from their enemy, the Galgado Empire. It will be a time for Annette to choose between her own mom and her own duty.

Probably the best episode in a while for this series, as there actually was a mission to complete, and we got to see some background on Annette and Matilda. It was a good way to bring this team together and allow them to bond in a more high stakes setting. Overall the mission still felt relatively shallow, but there seems to be more to it, so we'll see what happens.

ED was great, had some good visuals, man I wish the effort there was also present in the show itself, but it is what it is.

Somehow I'm finding a bit of hope that watching this adaptation's second cour seasonally will be worth it. Of course it's not a grand plot twist that Annette's mother (or so she proclaimed herself) is a spy from the enemy's side, but its setup towards it has made us able to see Monika and Thea working together with coordination despite the ending has Monika fooled Thea once again.

I wonder if the traumatic events from the so-called train crash were caused by enemy spies that has made Annette forget everything about her past self. Guess I shall be tuning in weekly with a bit of hope that there'll be some resolve to this arc that make sense.

It was interesting to see Annette's mother(possibly) turn up and great to see the girls work together to get the toolbox back from the loan sharks

Nice bit of tradecraft there. The reveal of Annette's mother though sure complicated things. Getting Annette to behave is a struggle in itself. The exfil of the mother at the restaurant sure was fun. The op to reunite the toolbox while sudden sure played our pretty well. Especially their storming of the thieves den. Im curious as to what happened to Matilda given the revelation at the end though. Overall a pretty fun ep that featured a good combo of fieldcraft, teamwork and planning on the teams part.

Another solid episode. Now it's mom vs daughter, and it will probably be soon... or not. (I don't know about the LN)
I need more CGDCT from this series, it makes things enjoyable... and lovely... and adorable... etc.

This smug on her face is actually cool. I don't hate her for that. Fortunately, there's actually a sane person in their group as a "spy" instead of following their hearts blindly.
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.

Annette's mother appeared out of nowhere and after a background check was done by Monika on Annette's mother she came to know she was an imperial spy. Let's see what action will be taken by the girls.

The fuck, an actually decent episode??? Damn, a very rare sight so better to take a note.

Anyways, knew something was up with the mother from the second she showed up, and I mean this being the spy world, of course she was a spy.

Though now I bet we would've have a backstory where they'll tell how this single parent mother was trying to run away from this cruel and full with bloodshed spy world but got a bit unlucky, and couldn't do so. Even losing her daughter in the process.

Also, it'd be good if that tomboy speak and converse normally for once.

Here the four girls show us that they can do all the things alone.
Haaa, the family life such a good thing. I am glad she found her daughter after so many years. Also if she can not go with her..

But that's also a good thing..
I really thought from the start, she is kinda odd..
I was right

Pretty good episode, I was hoping Annette's mom was normal but no she's a spy too. So I'm wondering if her mom getting the blue toolbox stolen was intentional or not...

While I miss watching Lily (and Grete to a point) we get more time with the other 4 girls. It does suck that Annette has lost some of her memories but she does have a sense of humor and a good friend in Erna.

However, I'm also wondering at what point does Monika accuse Thea of working for the other side... I'm guessing that may be coming up since Thea has been going out of her way for Annette and her mom. Recall that the 1st cour ended with Monika accusing Thea of treason.

Monika sums up my feelings about Thea perfectly on the balcony.
The dinner with Annette's mom was rudely interrupted, thanks to Erna's sense of danger they got out. Actually I thought Matilda's story about a toolbox getting stolen and she borrowed money to then gamble to get enough money to get it back sounded ridiculously far-fetched. I sort of doubted she was really Annette's mom at all, like why would she just appear out of nowhere like that... fortunately Monika wasn't so easily fooled. But we still have to find out who she actually is and what was her objective

This episode actually got me invested in the mystery and characters! Perhaps this show will make use of it's potential in the second season? I always said it could be a lot better if it avoids messing up regularly.

My first thought was that she's a spy but then I thought, maybe she actually lost her daughter and mentally replaced her with Annette. Still a fine twist and probably one of the better episodes so far.

Meh, the OST felt worse, even if only a season's past.

In the Modello Entertainment District, Annette's mother Matilda Barbet shows up to claim her daughter, but her amnesiac state left her in a complete state of disarray, and Thea can't be sure that they can safely hand her over back to Matilda. Despite Matilda's plea, Thea still willing chooses to let both mother and daughter reunite together, though Monika is clearly not happy with this, and proposes on the conditions that both her and Erna be trained up to par in case this unassuming case gets bad in some way. And indeed, Erna is the best sensor in realizing misfortunate's arrival, which the rest of the girls spring into action, trying to acknowledge their enemies. Indeed, there is something suspicious about Matilda, and her being chased by debt collectors isn't a good thing. To make matters worse, her claim to have Annette just got desperate, and Thea offering to find her toolbox just amps Monika's disdain.

Despite the fact that Thea just wants to do this on her own whim, the rest of the girls follow her, also wanting to prove that they can be worthy spy adversaries. With Annette's peer eye on the toolbox's replication, they were able to trace the real toolbox's whereabouts and hand it back to Matilda, which consists of useful tools that eventually got both mother and daughter communicating again. But to Monika, Matilda's case isn't over, and her whereabouts only confirm that she's an Imperial spy, which this has to be known to Klaus.

From one point to the next, it's Klaus's to close this case.

Okay, I guess, they introduce Annette's mother who doesn't inspire much confidence, except for nothing relevant ._.

Of course, besides that she is a spy xd.

"it's ok, there's no one else here"

YUP, no one else >‿> ( \ Y / ), carry on.

It was cute of them trying to teach Annette how to behave at the dinner, LOL

.

Also, I guess this season is going to have Thea be the "main girl" (or at least the PoV)

While Monika is the "actual spy girl" (that isn't all fun and games)

.

LOL @ Erna... how did she get her actual wallet stolen too? LOL

TBH... somehow I also kinda want to do playful-bullying on Erna too... I want to make her cry then cuddle her afterwards.

I loved the clash of ideals and values, the reveal at the end of the fight and the girls' dynamics once they all decided to work together for Matilda even if she gave a bad premonition at the very end of the ep.

If this is only the 50s/60s cold war in their world, they are probably a couple of decades off from DNA paternity testing being invented.
Was that a flash forward? Annette's alleged mother being a spy and Thea's eagerness to help them; that is what results in last season's final scene, then?

Surely Matilda suspects Thea and co on how they got back the toolbox seeing that she's a spy herself, but I can sense a difficult choice for Annete in the next episode between her current life and her mother.

Assuming she give the choices a thought ofc

Annette and Erna are still cute.
Basically if Mathilda is Annette's mom, maybe they should recruit her. Recruiting a spy could open up new ways of intelligence..
