Season 9 saw the Houston Spies' best season for the Discipline Era- finishing first in Wild and second in the League as a whole. Despite this, their Postseason run was a repeat of the previous season - losing 1-3 to the Baltimore Crabs, who would go on to lose to the Charleston Shoe Thieves in the Internet Series.

For the Elections, the decided-upon Weather Forecasts saw Jordan Hildebert and Reese Clark gain new Modifications; Hildebert gained both Friend of Crows and Siphon, whilst Clark gained Fire Eater. For Blessings, the Spies saw many vote outcomes of other teams affect them - the Hellmouth Sunbeams once again secured a division-wide boost, this time of the overall rating of every team in Wild Low, and the Boston Flowers protected the Division from another season of Targeted Shame. That being said, a lack of protection from The Fifth Base caused it to affect the Spies for all of Season 10.
