Twisted Metal Season 2 Episode 3 recap: John and Krista's bonding time ends in murder, as new drivers enter the tournament

Peacock's Twisted Metal Season 2 charges into the show's signature world of murder and chaos with Episode 3, which saw the introduction of two strange and new characters.

Richard de Klerk's Mr. Grimm, who made his short appearance in Episode 2, and Michael James Shaw's Axel are introduced as potential drivers in the titular competition. While Axel is a weird hybrid between a car and a human, Mr. Grimm seems to possess mystical powers, as he feeds on corpses.

On the other hand, John and Quiet's trip to Diesel City is cut short when she wishes to have a karaoke session. However, this was just a ploy for her to force John into spending more time with his sister and piecing back his forgotten past together.

Here is the complete Twisted Metal Season 2 Episode 3 recap.

Twisted Metal Season 2 Episode 3 recap: John and Krista take a trip down memory lane

After Quiet tricks John into spending time with his sister, Dollface tries to trigger his brother's memories.

Twisted Metal Season 2 Episode 3 saw the brother-sister duo taking a trip down memory lane by visiting a roadside drive-in theater. Dollface reveals that their family used to visit this theater often in the summer, and John was obsessed with the idea of combining cars with movies. However, John realizes that it was Lionel and he couldn't care less about cars now.

While Krista does her best to make John familiar with his past life, nothing triggers his memories. After a point, Krista gets mad and accuses John of not trying enough, after which he confides about the real issue. He reveals that remembering his past and his childhood home will only make him remember the people he lost in the apocalypse, and he is scared of the losses he has endured in his life.

John and Krista's heart-to-heart is interrupted when they are ambushed by Axel in Twisted Metal Season 2 Episode 3. This ambush leads the duo into Zemo's den, a crazy doctor who believes humans should be fused with cars and has also experimented with this vision on Axel. When he expresses his desire to experiment on Krista as well, John accidentally kills him, freeing Axel from his creator.

Twisted Metal Season 2 Episode 3 recap: Two new (and strange) drivers enter the scene

While John, Krista, and Quiet are managing their respective chaos and gearing up for the upcoming tournament, Twisted Metal Season 2 Episode 3 introduces two new characters, who will likely participate in the tournament.

Firstly, John and Krista meet Axel, a human-car hybrid who has two giant wheels on either side. Axel is the by-product of Dr. Zemo's sick experiment, but his transformation could prove worthwhile in the vehicular competition. After John kills Zemo to save Krista, Axel enjoys his newfound freedom and rides off into the sunset, hinting at his return in the titular tournament.

Secondly, Episode 3 offers a closer look at Mr. Grimm, a mysterious figure who seems to possess supernatural/mystical powers. After he got an invite to join the competition for Calypso's team, a flashback hints that he might not be human. In the flashback, Mr. Grimm is shown killing a man, sucking up his soul, and eating him with the help of an ethereal blue glow only visible to him.

Mr. Grimm catches up to Jeremy and Ashley on the road and kills both of them. The Dollface team reunites at the end of the episode and overlooks Diesel City while paying their respects to Jeremy and Ashley.
