Steel Ball Run Episode 3 Recap and What to Expect in Episode 4
The race has moved into the Arizona desert, where the terrain punishes riders as hard as the competition does. Johnny and Gyro are no longer only chasing a finish line, because hostile riders have started to target them.
Netflix has framed this batch of episodes around Johnny and Gyro facing down the Devil’s Palm. Each episode edges the racers closer to that strange, dangerous zone, which is also tied to the Saint’s Corpse mystery.
Episode 4 should raise the pressure from both directions. The Stand-wielding threats trailing the racers are likely to grow more direct, and the race itself keeps turning into something far bigger than a competition.
