Recap of Urusei Yatsura season 2 episode 3
The most recent episode was centered around Shingo, a boy who lives in a sort of electric jungle and who believes that a TV set is his grandfather, prompting him to find a woman to get married to. As this is happening, Lum is waiting for Ataru since they were supposed to have a date, and it turns out that the latter has not yet arrived because he was busy flirting with other girls.
Shingo eventually runs into Lum and asks her to marry him, which eventually leads the latter to use this situation to cause jealousy in Ataru, who tries to act as if the situation doesn't affect him. Lum is taken to the jungle where Shingo lives, and Ataru eventually decides to rescue her, with the likes of Shinobu and Mendo aiding him in this quest.
It is through Mendo's family that it is revealed they had an experiment years ago, which was about making electric vegetables, but it didn't work because of the shock waves they created when consumed.
It turns out that Shingo is the grandson of the man who created these vegetables. However, that isn't resolved until the end of the episode since the jungle boy and Ataru fight time and time for Lum's freedom, with the protagonist being victorious at the end.
What to expect from Urusei Yatsura season 2 episode 4?

It is worth pointing out that this anime follows a very free formula and focuses more on comedy, which is why there isn't much of an overarching plot, leading to a lot more stories involving the characters' everyday lives.
