Summary
Anya wakes up and says good morning to their plant, thinking it is Loid, who tells her to wash her face to wake up fully. Yor greets Anya good morning and says it was too bad she could not meet Yuri last night. Anya questions who that is before remembering that he is her uncle. She reads Loid's mind and discovers that Yuri is a member of the secret police. She questions what the secret police are and concludes that they are something exciting. She cries out to Loid asking why he did not let her see Yuri who is surprised that it meant so much to her.

Loid, on the other hand, is relieved that he is gone so he can return to helping Anya study. However, as they begin eating breakfast, Loid questions whether he is really safe, now knowing that Yor's brother is a member of the SSS. WISE found nothing suspicious about her, and she seems to not know about her brother working for the SSS, but he decides that he should still remain cautious. Anya, who was reading Loid's thoughts, begins to chime in to tell him what Yor is before pausing and saying she is a bad cook. Yor is shocked that Anya could tell that she made breakfast today and apologizes saying she did her best.

Loid tells them they need to get going so they will not be late. He calls out to Yor and proceeds to consider whether he should plant a listening bug on her. He decides it would be best to do it so he can confirm or deny his suspicions. He pretends to wipe off some gunk on her neck while planting the bug on her. Yor thanks him but is flustered thinking he was going to kiss her after what happened the previous night. She reflects on how she cannot cook, how last night only went well due to Loid, and her performance as his wife was awful. She determines that Loid was seeming distant this morning because of all that and must have been upset. As Anya is about to get on the school bus, she looks back to Yor and Loid and tells them to get along. They respond by telling her they are fine and Loid tells her to make sure she gets along with her classmates. Loid thinks to himself about how intuitive children can be before telling Yor they should be off too.

At the SSS headquarters, Yuri gets questioned by an SSS Lieutenant about his injuries since he was going to visit his sister's new family last night. Yuri tells him that he barely remembers it and the Lieutenant assumes Yuri got drunk and picked a fight with Loid. Yuri tells him that Loid does not deserve Yor and the Lieutenant questions if it is because Loid is a bad guy. Yuri says Loid seemed nice, but suspects it could have been an act and he is secretly a spy that needs to be locked up. The Lieutenant questions if he has any evidence and Yuri realizes he should have planted bugs. He thinks more about it and how if he heard any inappropriate "sounds" coming from his sister he would not be able to bear it. He slams his head against his locker thinking about it, making the Lieutenant question whether the wounds were self-inflicted. The Lieutenant tells him if Yor is happy he should give her his blessing. He tells Yuri that he needs to focus on the job and that catching Twilight is their top priority. Yuri agrees, but tells himself that it will be a different story if Loid makes his sister cry.

At Berlint City Hall, Yor is typing at her desk while holding back tears. Camilla questions what is going on with her, and Millie tells her that Yor has been telling herself she is a failure the whole day. Sharon comes into the office and questions why Yor wants to know how to be a good wife and asks if things are not going well at home. Yor explains that she just does not know how to behave since it is her first relationship. Sharon questions how she is just realizing this after a year since she does not know the true nature behind their marriage. Loid is atop the city hall roof while listening in and thinks about how they did not dig up any information about past relationships that she had and confirms that Yor has never been in a relationship before. Yor questions whether their relationship can go on since she cannot even cook, and Loid realizes that Anya's comment from the morning must have cut deep. Millie relates to her worries about getting broken up with if you are not special. Camilla recognizes that Yor is a woman after all, which makes Yor say that is not what this is about.

Loid wonders if Yor is trying to be a better wife for the sake of their fake marriage, but considers that she may be trying to be the perfect wife to deceive him. The other women tell Yor it may be a bit late for homemaking classes, and Millie tells her she has always been a bit slow before cutting herself off. They tell her she needs to stay in her league because if their scores differ too much it will not end well. They tell her she should just break up with him already but Yor responds that she cannot, and Loid comments on the toxicity of the relationship she has with her co-workers. Chief Barnes interrupts their discussion and tells them to get back to work. He then asks if Yor can run a letter down to the post office for him. Loid considers that he will not figure out if Yor is suspicious without taking matters into his own hands.

Yor drops off the letter at the post office and heads out of the building. She notices a sign about savings accounts for married couples and thinks about how she and Loid still have separate bank accounts. She wonders if the money she earns as an assassin could make her useful as a wife but also realizes it might end up being suspicious and that he probably does not need financial support. As she is thinking about this, she gets stopped by Loid and Franky Franklin in disguise as secret police officers. They tell her they have some questions for her which makes her question if she seemed suspicious looking at the married couple's account poster because she does not look married. She tells them she is married which puzzles them. Franky whispers to Loid asking why he made him do this and Loid tells him to shut up and stick to the script. Loid tells her that in their mail inspection they noticed that the letter she just posted was a coded message to the West. They ask her if this "Barnes" on the letter is her superior which she confirms. When asked for her name, she tells them her name is Yor Forger, but gets tripped up a little and almost says Yor Briar.

Franky laughs and tells her that her name is written as a collaborator in the letter. Loid thinks to himself that Franky seems to be enjoying himself. Loid comments that she is part of the conspiracy and Yor tells him that she knows nothing about this. Franky tells her to tell them what she knows. Loid tells her that they caught someone in the finance department the other day and that corruption is deep there. Franky adds that he heard some nasty stuff happened to the guy and that he was tortured so bad he tore his tongue out to kill himself when he got back to his cell. Franky tells her that there was a woman around her age who was the secretary of a parliament member that got taken in last month. Loid says that she had an SSS family member, so they let her go. Franky replies that it is a perk of the job to make those doubts disappear.

Loid tells her that they'll need to take her back to the station. He thinks to himself that if she knows her brother is in the SSS all she needs to do is say his name to make this go away. She has no reason to hide his identity from his co-workers and it'll only bring her and her family trouble if she gets taken in. Yor tells them that she works hard for this country every day and would never commit treason. Franky tells her not to play dumb and to come quietly as he lunges at her but gets interrupted by Yor throwing him to the ground and reminding him that she is a married woman and asking not to be touched. Loid tells her there are consequences for resisting that may affect her whole family. Yor tells them that her husband and brother are respectable men and if they are going to harm them, she'll show them no mercy.

Loid asks Franky, whom he calls "Lieutenant Mop" if he is sure he deciphered the code correctly. Franky takes another look at it and says he messed up since it used the Caterpillar Cipher and not the Raccoon Cipher. They tell her it appears to be a letter from Mr. Barnes to a hemorrhoid treatment specialist and encoded it because of the subject matter. They apologize for the misunderstanding and tell her she is free to go but ask her to keep the contents of the letter a secret.

Yor leaves and Loid removes his mask. Franky tells him that was a total farce and Loid confirms that it was necessary. Franky concedes and says they confirmed she is not connected to the secret police while Loid simply gives a blank face. Franky questions if Loid is feeling guilty and Loid denies it. Franky tells him he needs to keep his emotions out of this and to never trust anyone. Loid rips off Franky's disguise, not being able to stand being lectured with Franky's disguised face. Franky complains since he was hoping to get some action with that face. Loid tells him that getting women through deception is wrong and Franky retorts about the obvious contradiction.

Yor walks back home concerned about the events of today and almost getting her and her family in trouble by striking a government agent. As she is walking, she runs into Loid, who asks her if she wants to walk home together. He again pretends to get some gunk off her collar as he removes the bug he planted. Yor apologizes for being a failure as a wife who is not even able to keep her clothes clean. Loid tries to comfort her by telling her that there is no correct way for a wife to act. Trying to live up to an ideal is admirable but it can constrict you from being who you are and utilizing your true strengths. He tells her that many of his patients struggle with that problem because having to perform all the time is exhausting. He tells her he just wants her to be exactly who she is and how it would make Anya happy to see her smile. Yor thanks him for saying that and tells him she is glad she married him. Loid thinks back to Franky's comment about doubting her before crushing and throwing away the bug he planted. Yor asks what he threw out and he tells her it was the gunk. He then tells her they did not do anything to celebrate their fake one-year anniversary and should get some cake to which Yor agrees. Anya returns home on the bus and is welcomed by Yor. Anya is relieved to see them getting along and Loid comments that they were never fighting. They tell her they have cake, and she begs for some to which they tell her to stop so she does not upset the downstairs neighbors.
