Behind the Curtain of Enigma Black Stage Episode 3
Episode 3 of Enigma Black Stage opened with the shocking state of Anya’s body. Everyone in the room, including Ajin, was horrified and shocked by what had happened to her. Plengpin was about to call the police when Ray stopped her.
Ray instructed the staff to put the other three actresses in their rooms and check the CCTVs. Distressed by the situation, Plengpin stepped outside for a cigarette, where he found Ajin sitting in the dark.
Curious about Anya’s death—especially since Ajin described her as one of the most powerful sorceresses—Plengpin listened as Ajin explained why he wanted access to the Bu-nga Muen Phamorn dress.
Ajin revealed that he had been searching for a certain group, and they were likely after the dress as well. He introduced Madam Kosum—“the most dangerous person I know”—and claimed someone in the crew was working for her.

The Competition Continues
Despite Anya’s death, Ray decided to keep the competition going, citing a lack of evidence to identify her killer. While he was speaking, Plengpin noticed the staff throwing something into the lake.
Ray then presented a video of Anya declaring her withdrawal from the competition. Plengpin challenged Ray’s decision, calling it pure madness, but Ray insisted no one would truly care about the truth.
After a tense exchange, Jew and Myday voted to continue, and though hesitant, Plengpin reluctantly agreed. Ray then had the three actresses participate in a relaxation exercise.
With their eyes closed, they followed his narration, which evoked intense emotions—happiness, loneliness, and fury—suggesting that their feelings were being manipulated by Ray’s voice.
Ajin’s Ties to Madam Kosum
Ajin discovered that Aekasit was an ally of Madam Kosum, though he didn’t realize Aekasit wasn’t her only one. Another crew member attacked him, and just as Ajin was about to cast a spell, a familiar voice called his name—it was Madam Kosum.
The confrontation between them was chilling, but the real shock came when Madam Kosum called Ajin her nephew. The scene turned blood-red, exuding intimidation and horror.
She showed Ajin the dress, which even she couldn’t touch directly, confirming its immense power. Madam Kosum warned him about Plengpin, showing him Anya’s death as a grim example. Her ultimatum: convince Plengpin to withdraw, or she would meet the same fate.

Is It Really Over for Ajin and Plengpin?
After enduring the illusion, Ajin rushed to Plengpin, who was with Jew, Myday, and the crew. He dragged her away, urging her to withdraw from the competition.
As the next round began, Jew and Myday fought fiercely—the contestant with the most orchids would win. With Plengpin absent from the field, the two were determined to take the lead, but she refused to give up.
Plengpin persuaded Ajin that they still had a chance to win. Together, they managed to take orchids from Myday and Jew—until Aekasit reappeared.
This time, however, he failed to kill Plengpin as he had Anya; instead, he was killed in the attempt. Ray arrived, telling Plengpin her efforts were useless because she had already lost.
But Ajin confronted him with a photo of Anya’s body in a sack being thrown into the lake, threatening to expose him unless Plengpin advanced to the next round.
As the episode ended, a furious Madam Kosum was shown—and for a brief moment, Plengpin smirked, sending chills down my spine.
