EPISODE CONTEXT

This is episode 10 of 13, picking up directly from the previous episode's setup where Loid and Fiona entered the underground tournament as part of a WISE mission to recover a target painting. The tournament arc serves as a late-season mission spotlight that gives Fiona significant screen time while keeping the overarching spy narrative moving forward. The following episode deals with the tournament's aftermath and its broader implications for the mission, positioning this as the action-heavy centerpiece of a two-to-three episode stretch heading into the season's final act.
