Uzumaki Episode 3 recap

Uzumaki Episode 3 saw Kirie admitted to Kurouzu Hospital, sharing a room with her pregnant cousin, Keiko. Other pregnant women, who had all been bitten by mosquitoes, were also hospitalized. One night, Kirie witnessed the pregnant women draining blood from other patients by drilling into their bodies.

When they tried to attack her, she managed to repel them with mosquito spray left by Shuichi. Despite reporting this incident, Kirie’s claims were dismissed. Later, she observed the newborns communicating and growing mushrooms from their bellies, which were served to patients.

These mushrooms turned out to be regenerated placentas, which the newborns wanted to return to their mothers. Kirie discovered that the doctor was facilitating this with surgical procedures in Uzumaki Episode 3. During a struggle, Keiko attacked the doctor and drank his blood.

Meanwhile, Shuichi's paranoid mother attempted to remove a spiral in her ear, leading to her death. Back home, Kirie’s father became fixated on making spiral-patterned pottery, which later released trapped souls.
