[Editor’s Note: The following article contains spoilers for “The Terror: Infamy” Episode 6, “Taizo.”]
Monday’s episode of “The Terror: Infamy” finally tells the backstory of the ghost known as Yuko (Kiki Sukezane), who has been haunting Chester (Derek Mio), his friends, and his family during WWII. It turns out that in 1919, Yuko traveled to Terminal Island for an arranged marriage to Hideo Furuya (Eiji Inoue), but when she reveals she’s already pregnant by another man, he casts her out. Unable to care for her baby boy properly, she gives Taizo — now the grown-up Chester — away and kills herself by leaping off a bridge. The tragic circumstances surrounding her death creates an onnen, or a wild hunger, in her as she becomes the unsatisfied spirit known as the yurei.
While Yuko’s origin story explains why she’s been sticking around after her death, hints of her state of mind have been present from the start… in her clothing. Costume designer J.R. Hawbaker...

The Terror Season 2 Episode 6
The Terror: Infamy delivers another stunning episode with "Taizo," an hour that brings Yuko's grim past to light. Finally, we get the answers we've been searching for all season and they don't disappoint. In fact, "Taizo" solves so many of the season's mysteries that I'm left wondering what's next?
The not-so-unpredictable payoff of the episode is that Chester is Yuko's son, whom she had to give up to an orphanage after Furuya-san, ever the douche, left her out on the streets.
