This instalment is the second part of the chapter where Anya was trying to find out what Desmond Donovan was thinking. She tried to use her telepathy and tried to listen to the conversation that was happening in the Chapman's hospital room. She did manage to reach Donovan. But during this small mission of trying to understand if he could read minds, she realised that he was mentally struggling to understand what others were thinking.

This might be proof that he does not have the same powers as Anya, but there are hints that he might have been connected with her past. At the same time, Fiona almost got caught listening to the conversation. Eventually, Donovan left the hospital, and Anya was made to return to her school.

But when Yor found Anya and saw a nosebleed, it had happened because of her using her abilities, but Yor freaked out. During the night, only Yor and Anya are home, and we see that, still frightened by the thoughts she had heard at the hospital, Anya nervously asked Yor if they could sleep together. Yor happily agreed, giving the chapter an incredibly sweet ending.

What to expect from Spy x Family Chapter 140? (Speculative)

After getting some shocking reveals and a wholesome ending, fans could expect the following from Spy x Family Chapter 140:

Donovan's mysterious past could become even more important: The biggest question heading into Spy x Family Chapter 140 is what exactly is going on with Donovan. Anya's discovery appears to rule out the simplest theory that he possesses the same telepathic ability as her, but it does not necessarily mean he has no unusual abilities at all.

Anya may investigate Desmond's research: Anya has now heard Donovan mention Desmond's research, which could become an important clue. Since she is one of the few characters capable of directly accessing people's thoughts, she may eventually discover information in Spy x Family Chapter 140 that even Twilight cannot obtain through conventional espionage.

More wholesome Forger family moments: The ending has fans hoping for more scenes between Anya and Yor. Anya's request to sleep beside her mother was especially emotional because it echoed the warmth of the early chapters, when she first began finding comfort in the Forger family. Some fans are even hoping that Loid in Spy x Family Chapter 140 will eventually witness a similar moment.

In conclusion, with fans already coming up with theories about Donovan's possible abilities and the origins of Anya's powers, Spy x Family Chapter 140 could provide another major clue about the mysteries at the heart of the series.
