OPERATION STRIX (MISSION: 1　オペレーション〈〉) is the first episode of the SPY x FAMILY TV anime series.

Summary
In order to ease tensions between Westalis and its neighboring country Ostania, Westalis assigns Twilight, their greatest spy, to form a family in Ostania in order to get close to Donovan Desmond, leader of Ostania's National Unity Party. To do this, he will need to enroll his "child" into Eden Academy, where Desmond's son Damien attends. Twilight, under the identity of Loid Forger, adopts a young girl named Anya, who has telepathic abilities. When Anya accidently sends a transmission to Edgar, a minister in Ostania who has a grudge against Twilight, Anya is kidnapped by his goons. Twilight rescues Anya by disguising himself as one of Edgar's men and blackmails Edgar using his daughter Karen in order to stay out of his business. Twilight attempts to find a better home for Anya, as he feels like she should live a better life than his when he was a child. Anya convinces him to keep her and they find a new home. Later, Anya passes the admission exam to Eden Academy. The next day, Twilight and Anya are informed that stage two for acceptance into Eden Academy is a formal interview with the mother and father.
