With the biannual Imperial Scholars Mixer coming up, Damian sees a rare opportunity to meet with his reclusive and distant father. However, Twilight also has his own plans to intrude on their meeting.
Tropes related to Imperial Scholars Mixers Arc:
- Becoming the Mask: Despite wanting to get into Donovan's good graces, Loid's experience raising Anya wins out and he spends their meeting subtly criticizing him of his parenting style.
- Crazy-Prepared: Loid mentally mulls over various scenarios while taking Yor for dinner, thinking about ditching 794 scenarios after Yor declined a cab.
- Easily Forgiven: Donovan quickly forgives Loid for Anya punching Damian, as both Damian and Loid are surprised and even Loid asks him to take the matter seriously.
- Entertainingly Wrong: Loid assumes Yor is mad at him for some reason, but the reason why she is mad is that she is shot and in immense pain.
- Lethal Chef: Yor is a terrible cook, sure, but Bond actively sees his death after eating one of her dishes, making him desperate to bring Loid home.
- Wham Episode: After so much build up through the series, Donovan Desmond himself appears in the flesh.
