Cells at Work! CODE BLACK! Episode 7 Spoilers
In episode 6, while heading back from the small intestine, AA2153 runs into a colleague. They later visit one of the kidneys, depicted as a Japanese bathhouse, and the Glomeruli as haggard and overworked workers there. Their leader, an older woman whom the other Glomeruli refer to as Gran, insists that they must continue working, calling the kidney “the silent organ.”
A one-centimeter kidney stone tears through the walls of the ureter, leading to the fall of numerous Red Blood Cells into the urine. The cells subsequently realize that a tube has been inserted through the urethra. Although that tube pulverizes the stone, bacteria enter the body because of it. U-1196 and other White Blood Cells arrive and try to hold the line. AA2153 goes back to the kidney to convince the Glomeruli to evacuate. But Gran reiterates that they will keep working, no matter the circumstances.
When the bacteria reach the kidney, Gran sacrifices herself while protecting one of the other Glomeruli. The bacteria are ultimately defeated when antibiotics join the battle. In episode 7, the effects of caffeine on the human body might be depicted. Here is the trailer for the next episode.
