Call of the Night season 2 episode 2 brief recap

The episode began with a brief cut of a woman holding an umbrella over a child as it rained heavily. Then, the scene quickly shifted to a bar, showcasing a familiar face in Mahiru Seki. He was there to meet one "Kiku-san". The boy was venting to her about him not being able to stop his friend from doing something dangerous.

A few words from her and she had him ready to confront his friend. Elsewhere, Ko was conversing with Akira Asai (reintroduced), who gave him permission to suck her blood when he turned. Just then, Mahiru appeared and did the same as the friends shared a laugh. Joining them was Mahiru's "friend", Kiku Hoshimi.

She introduced herself and sent Ko running, as he got a menacing aura off of her. His suspicions were confirmed when she revealed herself to be a vampire, which was what Mahiru also soon learned. Nonetheless, he had developed affections for her, which she wanted to leverage in turning him into her offspring.

A brief scene in Nazuna's apartment brought forth who this stranger was - Kiku Hoshimi, a troubesome vampire known for making many her offsprings. The next night, Mahiru and Ko met, with the latter arranging for Akihito Akiyama or Akkun to explain the "Vampire-fication" to Mahiru. Though, Hatsuka suddenly joined them

The four ended up at a bathhouse - on one side, Hatsuka warned Ko against Kiku and her irksome ways while Akkun talked up Mahiru into a supposed "romance" with Kiku. Episode 2 ended with Anko Uguisu make her season 2 as she crashed the bathhouse reception in search of Akkun and Ko.

What to expect from Call of the Night season 2 episode 3 (speculative)

The stakes for Call of the Night season 2 episode 3 have been raised following the introduction of Kiku Hoshimi and Anko Uguisu's return. On the one hand, a vampire with a concerning reputation has her sights fixed on Mahiru and Ko. On the other, Anko Uguisu has entered the fray and her wanting to "talk" to both Ko and Akkun will refresh situations from season 1. All in all, Call of the Night season 2 episode 3 promises to be as nail-biting and visually stunning as the initial 2 episodes have been.
