Description

• It’s finally time to discuss the finale!!
• We kick off this episode with a flashback to that night on Half-Blood Hill before jumping back to Percy listening to Annabeth and Grover excitedly discussing Thalia’s return.
• Blackjack appears in the road and Percy knows him.
• Sally wants to help, but this is quite literally Percy’s battle, so she has to let him go do demigod things.
• Tantalus is being insufferable back in the hippodrome, but everyone is put out of their misery pretty quickly.
• Luke’s forces have already been attacking Camp, and he arrives with even more.
• He’s changed his tune since last time, saying anyone left inside Camp will be burned to the ground, but he does say Thalia’s tree must be protected.
• Percy and Annabeth have an uncomfortable discussion about Thalia’s loyalty.
• Percy and Co. come across some armed Campers, and they have to surrender to them.
• Mr. D doesn’t want to believe anything is wrong, but Percy gives an impassioned speech about how Kronos is back.
• Clarisse listens as Chris tells her there are traitors in their midst, then reveals himself as one of those traitors!
• This is a little different than what happened in the book, but it makes sense to give Chris a larger role in the show.
• Turns out, Clarisse DOES have friends!!
• Percy and Luke square off, and it becomes obvious they have different objectives.
• It’s bloody and violent, but this is only the beginning—just wait until season 5!
• Tyson comes to the rescue, and he wins an award for Best Brother of the Century!
• Allison shoots Annabeth with an arrow, but Percy must focus on the task at hand: Saving Thalia’s tree.
• He hands the fleece off to Clarisse in another show of trust and maturity, and we’re totally here for it.
• Thalia’s shocking returns knocks Percy out.
• Percy is seaside with Poseidon, who tells him what they’re all up against.
• Poseidon invited Tyson to be by his side, but Percy’s destiny lies elsewhere.
• This scene is so emotional, between Tyson thanking Poseidon for bringing him to Percy and Sally, to Poseidon saying love is even stronger than Fate.
• Chiron is back and Percy still drools in his sleep, so all is right with the world.
• Clarisse is in charge of preparing Camp’s troops.
• It gets a little awkward, but one “Shut up, Jackson” makes everything feel normal again.
• Chiron tells the truth of what happened that night on Half-Blood Hill.
• What did we think of Courtney B. Vance’s interpretation of Zeus?
• Thalia returns, and Percy is feeling pretty conflicted about it.
• We also discuss the TWO bonus scenes at the end of the episode.
• Kristen has some follow-up questions.

• We get to see Aryan’s audition tape for Percy Jackson, the character!
• Aryan interviews his best friend, Walker, who talks about how the fight sequence at the end of the finale sets up season 3.
• They discuss Percy’s big speech, and how Percy will continue to grow and evolve over the coming seasons.
• These books really did inform Walker’s personality.
• Toby Stephens takes a break from playing Captain Hook to chat with them—but he never takes a break from smelling amazing!
• Once again, everyone has such nice things to say about Daniel Diemer.
• Walker and Toby also have some super nice things to say about each other.
• It’s not easy playing a god, but Toby is pretty great at it.
• Also, he’s acting royalty, so he’s kind of the perfect person for this role.
• They talk about Lance Reddick and Courtney B. Vance.
• Aryan and Walker discuss Thalia’s role in season 2.
• Then it’s time to discuss season 3!
• Olive and Levi (Bianca and Nico) just got drenched for the first time on set, which seems to be a right of passage for this cast.
• Walker hates school and wishes he didn’t have to go anymore.
• The guy playing Thorn (David Costabile) is apparently fantastic.
• Aryan got to play his panpipes and the two of them also watched the first movie and then the first season together.
• Walker also discusses his favorite scene from this season.
