PREPARE FOR THE INTERVIEW (MISSION: 3　受験対策をせよ) is the third episode of the SPY x FAMILY TV anime series.

Summary
Yor moves to Loid's house. He explains that they will have different rooms, but will share one for appearances anytime they have guests over. Anya is happy to have a mother now and helps with the unpacking of Yor's luggage. Loid states he had a friend judge, who made them a marriage certificate from one year ago, and will think later of a reason why they lived separately until now and what to tell Yor's brother. Anya then shows Yor around the house and eventually Yor's room. Loid wonders if Yor likes the furniture arrangement and states he cleaned the room a bit. Yor likes the arrangement and Anya tries to explain she helped with the cleaning, but Loid states she just tipped over a bucket of water. After Yor takes our her things from the boxes, Loid notices a picture of Yor and her brother and states he should introduce himself once Anya's exam is over. Yor explains she doesn't have anything suitable to wear for the interview, but Loid tells her they will go to the tailor. Wanting to help, Anya sees an unopened box and tries opening it, but Yor stops her as it contains her weapons and poisons.

Loid makes some cookies, while Yor prepares coffee. As they eat them, Yor ends up liking the cookies and Anya states she helped making them. However, Loid explain she just got covered in flour and just ate peanuts after that. As they are done, they practice for the interview in Eden College, where Loid explains its a prestigious school that evaluate not only the child, but the parents too, about their social standing and how cultured they are. Loid acts as the interviewer and asks Anya her name and address. Anya gets her name wrong and for an address says its Anya's House. Loid then asks her what is she spend her days off and Anya states her father orders her to stay home, so she ends up watching TV all alone. Loid states that gives a terrible impression and turns to Yor, asking her why she choose Eden College and how she plans to pass the exam. Yor thinks of how people "pass away" and gives few reasons from what a person can die. Loid proceeds with the next question and asks her to describe her parenting methods. Wondering, Yor states you should strike first to be victorious. Loid feels he should give up and passing the interview would be impossible at the moment. He suggests they should go out and learn more about what is normal for an upper-class family.

They go out and Anya wishes to hold hands with Yor. As they do, Yor is reminded of how she held her younger brother's hand, but thinks she should be more careful as one time she hugged him and broke two of his ribs. As Anya read Yor's mind, she got shocked and ran away to hide from Yor. Loid then takes them to an opera to enjoy some first-class music. After that, he takes them to an art museum, where Yor gets fascinated about a painting of a guillotine. Anya sees Kids Place, where kids can draw and wishes to do so as well. Loid agrees and lets her draw, while they take a break. Anya decides to draw her family, but once she is done and Loid comes, she realizes that if he sees it, he may figure her ability and tries to cover it. Loid figures she drew him, but ends up believing its due to the spy series she is watching. Next, Loid takes them to the tailor, who suggest making a dark blue semi-formal dress for Yor. Yor finds the color lovely, but usually prefers black or red clothes as the cover blood splatters more easily. After ordering a couple of outfits and leaving, and since Yor is a regular at that tailor, Loid suggest that next time they should tell the tailor they are married. Next, they go to a photographer and take a family picture.

Since patriotism is important within Eden College, Loid takes them to Nationalist Party rally, who speak of a possible peace with the West. Since Anya can read the minds of the crowd, she hears a lot of negativity of people wanting to kill people from the West and feels sick. Seeing that, Loid takes her away. As they get away from the crowd, Anya stops hearing them and states that she is hungry. Loid takes them to a restaurant, where Anya picks and eats the nuts from her place using her hands, while Yor gets fascinated by the knife, causing Loid to start loosing heart over the success of the mission. Although he notes its due to being expected to rely on others and maybe he should list every possible question the interviewer can ask and make them memorize it. Seeing Loid thinking a lot, Yor suggests they get some fresh air. She takes them to a park on a hill that has a good view over the town. As they enjoy the view, they see a man robbing an old woman. Yor jumps in and start chasing the man, but quickly loses him. Loid tries to track him, but as he gets into a crowded street, he ends up losing him too. Anya then uses her ability and reads the minds of everyone. As she locates the thief, she points it out to Loid, who notices that the man changed clothes, but his walk pattern is the same. Yor joins them and Loid leaves Anya to her and jumps in to capture the thief. As he knocks him out, he takes the purse he stole and tells the crowd that he is a purse snatcher and to call police on him. Loid and the rest then return the purse to the old woman and escort her to a hospital. The woman explains the money in her purse where for a gift for her grandchild. She then thanks them for helping her out and states they are a good family.

After returning home, Loid decides they do the mock interview again. He asks Anya how she spends her free days and Anya states she goes to opera, museum and restaurants. Loid confirms this as right answer and tells her if she get asked this question to talk about today. Loid then asks her what she will do if she sees her friend doing something naughty. Anya states she will jump on them and beat them, essentially the thing Loid did to the thief, but Loid tells her to forget about that moment and makes him feel the interview is still impossible. Anya states that Loid was cool and Yor confirms. Looking at them and recalling what the old woman said, he feels that one percent of his preparations are complete.
