My talk will be based on 2506.01766, where we calculate two-point correlation functions of a massive probe scalar field in the background of the three-dimensional Janus solution. We relate the equation of motion of the scalar to Heun's equation and use the recently obtained expressions for the connection coefficients to obtain the two-point function of operators dual to the probe scalar. From the correlators we obtain the corrections to the spectrum of boundary operators and bulk-boundary operator product coefficients to second order in the Janus deformation parameter.
