Loid and Bond go out on a walk and Loid tries continuing Bond's training with Franky. Of course, while Loid is so smart when it comes to certain things, the emotional parts do not always click with him. Franky makes Loid realize that maybe, the reason why training is not successful is due to his being traumatized after growing up his whole life in a facility being abused in the name of training and science. Which we see is actually true as we peer into Bond's triggered memories of his past in the research facility where he grew up. As a big lover of pups, this broke my heart and made me want to hug Bond so much.

Trying to save face, Bond tries to predict some incidents he ends up causing, which Loid ends up chastising him for. However, when Bond starts behaving out of the norm after predicting a fire with someone trapped, Loid lets him run and chases after him without fully realizing it and discovers Bond knew about the puppy trapped in the fire. Loid decides to place more trust in Bond and helps him get the puppy out successfully, teaming up and running outside for safety. Of course, Bond catches fire, and someone helps by throwing some water on him. At that point, even Loid struggled not to laugh; I mean, Bond really looked like Anya's teacher Mr. Henderson with how thin the water made him.

Not only does Bond manage to save the puppy, but also gets the bad guy who set fire to the building. Once Loid sees what the man drops, he understands Bond's intent and immediately apprehends the dude. I love how  Bond and Loid work well together, and my favorite part was how, even after berating Bond for running ahead without thinking, Loid reassures Bond that he is a Forger and there is someone at home who needs him to be safe no matter what. I nearly cried because it was so adorable to see how much Loid smiles when he thinks of the family without even realizing it. I love how much they have grown as a family. When they arrive home, Anya overhears what went on through Loid's thoughts and rewards both of them with origami Stella stars she made. I really cannot wait for the movie to come out and give us more of the Forgers.
