This meeting could change everything for the Forger family. Anya is also wandering around the same hospital, which sets up a potentially dangerous situation. Fiona Frost is there too, investigating a medical symposium. Three key characters are now in the same building as the most dangerous man in Ostania.

What Happened in Spy x Family Chapter 137
Spy x Family Chapter 137 started with Loid hospitalized at Berlint General Hospital. He collapsed because of overwhelming stress from a recent SSS gathering. The doctors explained that his condition came from long-term exhaustion.
Fiona Frost took over the investigation at a medical symposium connected to Sigmund Authen’s past. She tried to replace Yor in Loid’s life and even attempted to bribe Anya with sweets. But Anya, with her mind-reading abilities, saw through Fiona’s intentions and secretly followed her.
Yor and Anya also visited Loid at the hospital. The chapter had many comedic moments, including Loid getting a hairline fracture just from grabbing his hand.
The biggest moment came at the end. Fiona discovered that former hospital director Surjay had arrived at the symposium. Then she recognized a Desmond family vehicle and came face-to-face with Donovan Desmond.
What to Expect in Spy x Family Chapter 138
Spy x Family Chapter 138 will likely focus on three main storylines happening at the same hospital.
Fiona’s Encounter with Donovan Desmond
The biggest question is how Fiona will handle meeting Donovan Desmond. As one of WISE’s top agents, she cannot risk exposing her identity. But she also needs to gather intelligence on the main target of Operation Strix.
Fiona has always approached everything like a professional operative. She sees family relationships as just another mission. But this situation is different. She is now face-to-face with the most dangerous man in Ostania.
Anya Might Meet Donovan First
One popular theory suggests that Anya, who is lost inside the hospital, may encounter Donovan before Fiona or Loid does. This would create an unpredictable situation.
Anya can read minds. If she meets Donovan, she might discover his true intentions. She might also mention Damian, her classmate and Donovan’s son. This could put her in serious danger.
Loid’s Growing Dilemma
Loid remains hospitalized, but he is unlikely to stay sidelined for long. If he learns that Donovan is in the same hospital, his instincts as Twilight will take over.
Loid has been struggling with his feelings for his fake family. In Chapter 128, he put his life on the line for Yor. His actions have forced him to consider his confusing emotions.
More Clues About the Hospital Investigation
Fiona’s investigation into the symposium could uncover the connection between Sigmund Authen’s former medical group and the Desmond family. This could reveal major information about the political conspiracy in Ostania.
Why This Chapter Matters for the Series
Spy x Family has always balanced comedy and espionage. But the story is now entering a much darker phase. The latest chapters have focused less on comedy and more on building tension.
Donovan Desmond is the main target of Operation Strix. He is the chairman of the National Unity Party of Ostania. His hardline politics threaten the fragile peace between East and West.
The series has already revealed some of his powers and the reason he became a recluse. But he remains one of the most mysterious characters in the series.
Loid is nowhere near completing his mission. The story keeps giving him more challenges as he navigates his feelings toward his fake family.
The manga creator, Tatsuya Endo, announced a break after Chapter 136. This pushed the release schedule into July. Now the story is returning with major developments.
“The biggest surprise wasn’t an action scene. It wasn’t a political reveal. It was Loid himself.”

Where the Story Stands Now
Operation Strix is far from complete. But the manga has shown huge progress in the relationship between Yor and Loid. Yor has already revealed she is in love with Loid, even though she knows their marriage is fake.
Loid has always tried to focus on his mission. But things changed when he didn’t hesitate to put his life on the line for Yor. He still believes she is an ordinary civilian. This was an uncharacteristic move from an experienced spy like Twilight.
Yor’s brother, Yuri, who is always skeptical of Loid, has also acknowledged his feelings. This is significant because Yuri is a member of the Secret Police.
The story has several twists and turns before Loid fully realizes what his fake family means to him.
