Solo Leveling episode 3 preview images show Sung Jin-Woo on a hospital bed. Thus, it is very evident that he survived the entire Double Dungeon ordeal. But if fans remember clearly, the protagonist had received very gruesome wounds during the incident. Nevertheless, the preview images show him to be relatively fine with next to no injuries.

Solo Leveling episode 3 may introduce fans to the System
The previous episode ended with a window seemingly opening up in front of Sung Jin-Woo. It notified him that he had completed the Secret Quest: Courage of the Weak, helping him acquire the qualifications to become a Player. With that, he was allowed to have one more chance at life.
That said, the anime has yet to explain to fans how the System works and how it originated. Moreover, Sung Jin-Woo himself has yet to access the same. The only hint fans have about the System is from the episode's title "It's Like a Game." Thus, fans can expect the System to work like a game.
Solo Leveling episode 3 will introduce fans to Sung Jin-Ah
Solo Leveling episode 1 saw Sung Jin-Woo explain how, despite his low-class rank, he needed to work as a Hunter to earn money. His mother was hospitalized and needed medicines. Meanwhile, his sister Sung Jin-Ah was still in high school, meaning that he needed to pay her tuition fees on time. Therefore, he needed to make enough money for all three of them.
While it was made very clear that Sung Jin-Woo cared deeply about his family, fans will only get to see him interact with one of his family members for the first time in the third episode. Considering the situation and the preview image of Sung Jin-Ah, fans can expect the protagonist's little sister to be angry at him for putting himself at such a big risk.
