Other reviewers have covered the main story so I'll add a bit about "Frigis" which might be informative to younger viewers and amusing to others. As this involves the plot, I've marked it as 'spoilers.'
The whole Spy x Family series revolves around an overblown, larger-than-life setting of Cold War-era espionage movies and TV shows, and frequently uses tropes, tips of the hat, and wholesale appropriation of many of those. I found myself mentally humming the "Get Smart" theme when Loid goes to visit Handler, for instance.
So, when the family needs to travel to "Frigis" to get the means to the coveted Stella, we're treated to a mish-mash of Scandinavian themes. Is it Sweden, or Norway? Not sure, but there are lingonberries, so visitors of a certain furniture store might be forgiven for thinking Sweden.
Similarly, when the Forgers visit, there's a beautiful airplane from the war on display. Not just some random airplane drawn here, although few would mind in this wild show with prescient dogs and assassin wives. No, a careful recreation of the Dehavilland Mosquito, fighter-bomber variant, complete with the four ports (not used) for 20mm cannon and the bomb bay which Yur uses to join the climactic adventure. And, yes, between Norway and Sweden a bit short of 100 Mosquitoes did in fact serve in WW2.
This sort of careful observance of Cold War historicity, and the espionage-movie themes, in both the series and the movies, not just there but in firearms, dress, and other sort of backdrop/setting items, adds to the joy of the family antics and the over-the-top anime adventures.
