EPISODE CONTEXT

Episode 2 introduced Kanna and complicated Kobayashi and Tohru's dynamic; this third episode deals with the practical fallout of that expanded household while also widening the dragon ensemble with Fafnir and Lucoa. It's a crucial world-building installment early in the 13-episode run, establishing the broader cast and living situation that will anchor the rest of the season's slice-of-life vignettes. From here, the series shifts from setup mode into its episodic rhythm, using these new characters and the new home as a foundation for deeper explorations of found family.
