The package Okiya was supposed to keep safe for the Professor turns out to be a delivered order of peanut butter and blueberry jam - obviously Agasa has come to develop a personal craving for this foreign delicacy. Ai wreaks her revenge on the Professor by helping herself and the Detective Boys to the delicious spreads, with Okiya providing the bread. And when Agasa calls to check on his delivery, Ai doesn't hold back in declaring to him what she is about to do with it, and to Shinichi about his complicity (i.e. his phone call to Mistuhiko) in the matter.

A Secret Order from London is the eleventh OVA of the anime and manga franchise Detective Conan. The plot revolves about Ai Haibara spending her time with Ayumi while Conan and company travel to London, only to be beset by a group of sinister-looking persons.

Plot
While Conan/Shinichi, Professor Agasa, Ran and her father travel to London, Ai spends her days at Ayumi's home. When the two girls have breakfast, Ai reminisces about her favorite type of sandwich, which prompts Ayumi to suggest a shopping trip. After making themselves up and dressing nicely, the two girls depart for the city.
However, while trying to sort out the mess his sister has left with her old magazines, which are to be taken away for recycling, Mitsuhiko beholds a page with a startling picture: his schoolfriend (and love interest) Ai appears to be a former American child actress! What is more surprising is the set of facts printed next to the picture, which introduces her as Grace Aihara, who is now 9 years old - two years older than Ai acutally is. Like Ai, she is half English and half Japanese, and has retired to Great Britain following the conclusion of her acting career. In addition, right after this discovery, Conan calls Mitsuhiko, telling him to keep Ai away from Professor Agasa's house.
After sharing these news with Genta, the two begin (ineptly) spying on the two girls. Based on a newsreel he catches in town, which reports a spy revealed in the super model business, and her half-English background, Mitsuhiko even goes so far as to suspect that Ai is actually a member of the British secret service MI-6, that she is trailed by the Mafia, and that Conan and the Professor are somehow in on her secret!
But what is even more unsettling is that the girls have a secret observer, a slim man dressed in a black suit and sunglasses who possesses several pictures of Ai and is evidently after her. He begins following Ai and Ayumi through town, and a young woman, also clad in black and with sunglasses, stalks them as well. The two are spotted by Mitsuhiko and Genta, and as they corner the girls in a menacing way, Mitsuhiko and Genta attack, toppling the man. The police arrives quickly, and all are taken to the next police booth, where a surprising revelation awaits. And as the children return to Agasa's house, they catch Subaru Okiya just leaving the premises holding a package, which the Professor had apparently called him about to keep it safe.

Trivia
- In this episode, Ai at one point calls Ayumi (if only in her thoughts) "Ayumi-chan" instead of her usual addressing, "Yoshida-san".
- The super model revealed as a spy element is most likely based on the story of Anna Chapman.
