Spy x Family Chapter 78 Spoilers: The Doctor is in

Loid Forger is simply an alias, but as of the events of chapter 77, readers were reminded that he has taken his alias’ role as a psychiatrist very seriously. It proves to be beneficial as he takes on Eden Academy’s tutor-in-residence, Thomas Austin, for treatment at his practice. Thomas is having difficulty sleeping, plagued by nightmares, and as Loid expertly deduces, this stems not even from the recent hijacking, but problems at home. Thomas fears his wife more than terrorists, it seems.

The reasons Loid takes this seriously are more than simply maintaining his cover. Henry Henderson specifically recommended his services, and Thomas’ unique position as a faculty member who engages with students particularly often gives Loid a potential networking opportunity.

Loid sees the successful treatment of this patient as a way for him to climb the social ladder and meet with his target, Donovan Desmond. It’s an interesting path after the conclusion of the Red Circus arc and could place Loid on center stage once more.
