Secret Police Arc

The Secret Police Arc is the fourth story arc in SPY x FAMILY.

WISE and Twilight's greatest enemy, the Secret Police of Ostania, begins making waves near the Forger Family. At the same time, Yor's brother finds out about her marriage and plans to visit the family.

Summary
At Eden Academy, Anya fails to answer a math question correctly. Elsewhere, Handler asks Loid if Anya can get eight Stellas within four months, something Twilight is visibly unconfident in. Handler adds that one of their informants from city hall has been arrested by counter-intelligence and urges Twilight to tread carefully.

At Berlint City Hall, Millie tells Yor and Sharon about the arrest of Jim Hayward from the finance department, who was rumored to have been selling documents. Camilla arrives and asks Yor about not telling her little brother, Yuri, about her marriage, something that had completely slipped past the woman's mind. While Yor begins worrying, her coworkers ask about Yuri and learn about how attached he is to her.

Elsewhere, Jim is being interrogated by the State Security Service at their headquarters about the documents and the person he sold them to. Second Lieutenant Yuri Briar arrives to take over the interrogation. Yuri politely asks Jim to give up the information they need so he can visit Yor sooner, revealing incriminating photos of Jim selling the files to make him talk. Jim tells all he knows, and Yuri begins asking him about "Twilight," the great threat to the East. Jim tries to reason with Yuri when his marital affairs are exposed, aggravating Yuri as he starts torturing Jim while proclaiming his dedication to his sister and country.

Yor returns home to inform Loid about Yuri's upcoming visit, prompting Loid to use his "Lovey-Dovey Marriage Kit" to stimulate a happily married couple's home. After Anya falls asleep while waiting for Yuri to arrive, Yuri makes his way to their home, having gotten caught up in the interrogation. Yuri is suspicious about the marriage and declares to protect his sister from harm, while Loid hopes to ensure that Yuri does not see through their fake marriage.

Yuri arrives at the Forger's home and is immediately greeted by Loid and Yor. While Loid heads to the kitchen to make them some food, the Briar siblings sit down and catch up. Yuri gets to the point and questions Yor why she did not tell him about their marriage for a year, to which Yor answers that she forgot. Yuri decides to accept that but begins barraging Loid with questions about how he and Yor got together. Loid manages to evade the questions due to Yuri's overreactions and professes his love for Yor to him. During their conversation, he deduces that Yuri is a member of the Secret Police and schemes to take advantage of it. Yuri's suspicions grow further after seeing Loid and Yor's flustered reaction after accidentally touching hands, and he drunkenly demands that the two kiss as proof of their love, threatening to annul their marriage if they cannot.

Loid accepts while Yor is unprepared for her first kiss and starts panicking. She downs a wine bottle to get intoxicated and pushes Loid down to kiss him. After having a flashback, Yuri begins having second thoughts and jumps in to stop the two but gets caught in a slap by an embarrassed Yor. Yuri decides to back down but remains suspicious of Loid and the marriage. In the morning, Loid begins to suspect that Yor is connected to the SSS through Yuri, while Yor is dejected about her performance as a wife. Before leaving for school, Anya tells her parents to get along, aware of their thoughts. Loid shadows Yor at her workplace and listens to her conversations through a bug he planted on her beforehand. He then disguises himself and Franky as SSS officers to directly question Yor but her genuine reactions clear Loid's suspicions, and he feels guilty for doubting her. Loid approaches Yor after her work and reassures her, telling her to be herself in her role as the Forger mother. Yor is happy to hear this and expresses her appreciation for marrying Loid, startling the spy. The couple return home with a cake for their fake one-year anniversary, and Anya is happy to see that the two have made up.
