Percy Jackson and the Olympians season 2 has come to an end and all I want is more. After everything our heroes have endured, they still have so many questions. Honestly, I still have so many unanswered questions, but all we can do is put the pieces together and try to understand until our heroes return in season 3.
After a long two-year wait, our heroes returned in December 2025 with demigod nightmares that led them to an unauthorized quest. Percy accepted help from Hermes, but it sent him, Tyson, and Annabeth directly into Luke’s sights on the Princess Andromeda cruise ship. Thanks to Tyson’s crafting skills, they escape, but they’re only just getting started. Percy begs to know his destiny and then wishes he didn’t. Clarisse nearly takes them out before convincing her to take them on as her crew. This leads them into the Sea of Monsters’ vortex that separates them. Percy and Annabeth face their fatal flaws on Circe’s island, Clarisse lands herself in a trap with Grover, and Tyson is in the sea alone.
Out of pure luck and trust, Percy and Annabeth escape Circe’s island and the sirens. They fall victim to Polyphemus’ trap, leaving them defenseless against Luke stealing the Golden Fleece covering Annabeth’s unconscious body. Tyson saves Percy, Clarisse, and Grover from the cave after knocking Polyphemus off the cliff. He calls on Rainbow (half-horse, half-fish) and friends to take them back to the Princess Andromeda to save Annabeth and the Golden Fleece.
Percy Jackson season 2 episode 8 reveals Percy’s fears
In the car, Percy is still thinking about the prophecy and Thalia from his dream when his mom tries to break through to him. But then, they're interrupted when Blackjack stands in the middle of the road, causing Sally to stomp on the brakes.
Tyson notices Clarisse is nowhere to be found, so Percy goes and sees what's wrong with Blackjack and why he's alone. Sally hesitates, but lets it happen because she needs to trust her growing demigod. Annabeth tells Sally that Thalia will help Percy carry the weight. That's when Sally discovers there's a prophecy, and Grover tries to play it off. Percy reports back that Clarisse hasn't made it to the tree and took off on foot with the Golden Fleece because monsters are surrounding the camp.
They all race out of the car to head on foot, but Percy stops his mom as fear clouds his face. She demands to go with him, to make sure of what's happening. But he begs her to stay away because they're near where the Minotaur took her, and a young Percy had to watch it happen. Then, Percy reveals that he's scared for more than just his mom. The dream she had about two sides of the same coin may not be about his good and evil side, but about him and Thalia, two children of the big three. Two demigods that the prophecy could be about. After hearing this, Sally promises to stay far away from the danger.
A fireball ending
King Tantalus goes on and on about some ancient story as the campers clean up the chariot race arena. Finally, Rodriguez has enough. He snaps at King Tantalus and tries to get him to see that the monsters aren't stopping their attack on camp. Yet, King Tantalus is too caught up with being able to hold a turkey leg, saying the Gods have listened to him and that he was right. Just then, a monster sends a fireball his way as it stomps into camp and then quickly retreats.
Fire rains down on the camp barrier as Clarisse's army except for Clarisse send arrows at the monsters. Our heroes crouch at the woods' edge, watching the scene go down, wondering which way Clarisse could have gone. Tyson hears something moving towards them, shaking the ground, so they go to investigate. Unfortunately for them, Luke has brought his entire army.
Tyson uses his abilities to relay what Luke is saying. He's telling his army to go to Half-Blood Hill to meet the team inside the camp. Luke tells Allison that this is only the beginning, that the camp should burn, including everyone in it, but the tree should be left standing. He goes on to say that the war against Olympus will be decided by the children of the big three: Thalia is the most powerful one alive. They need to free her from the tree. Where Annabeth and Grover want Thalia to be free to have their friend back, Luke wants to use Thalia to win the war, which is exactly what Percy feared.
Mr. D is left in charge
Clarisse runs through the woods on the outskirts of camp nearly missing an arrow. Her friends, including Rodriguez, lead her back to camp so she can put the fleece on Thalia's tree. Meanwhile, Annabeth reveals she told Luke about the fleece helping Thalia because she knows Luke cares about Thalia. She thinks Krono manipulated Percy's dream to make Thalia the evil one. Percy doesn't back down as he tells Annabeth that Thalia will have to choose between Luke and her if and when she's revived from the tree.
Before our heroes can head into camp, they are stopped by campers who were once their friends calling them traitors. The leader, Ellis, tells his army to cut them down if they resist arrest. He believes our heroes stole Clarisse's quest and that's all there is to it. He doesn't know they came to an understanding while on the quest, but there's no time for explanation, as there are monsters at their front door.
Percy holds up his hands to be taken to King Tantalus, but Ellis reveals that King Tantalus is gone after taking a fireball to the face. This unfortunate incident leads Mr. D in charge, who is strumming a guitar and singing to the campers. Mr. D doesn't care that Luke's army is coming into the camp and Clarisse is in danger. Percy tells them that Kronos is back, even though Mr. D doesn't believe them. He boldly tells them this is what Chiron trained them for and that they have to take care of their own. They need to stand up for each other and their home.
She’s a traitor
In the smoke-filled barrier, people start running towards one of the parole armies. Meanwhile, Rodriguez is trying to fill in Clarisse about their worries about traitors being in the camp. He tells her that's why Katie shot at her and then turns to ask for her arrows. He accuses her of being one of Luke's loyal traitors. The owns start fighting, and he stabs her. This leaves Clarisse on her own to fight Rodriguez, who said Luke always had his back. If she gives him the fleece, he'll tell Luke she died well, but she's not going down without a fight.
As she runs into camp on an injured leg, Rodriguez informs the others to cut her down and get the fleece. He easily catches up to her and pins her to the chariot race arena ground. He grabs the fleece and smugly tells Clarisse that she shouldn't have mistaken him for a friend since she doesn't have one. Thankfully, she proves him wrong when Annabeth and Grover come charging in on a chariot as Rodriguez tries to run away with the fleece. Grover grabs the fleece and then helps Clarisse on the chariot.
Thalia and the Golden Fleece
Luke stands at the tree, seeing how the poison is hurting it. The fire monsters come strolling up the hill as Luke permits them to enter camp. Percy and Tyson lead the campers over the hill, ready to battle Luke and his army.
In the middle of the chaos, Luke tells Percy the fleece can't heal him this time. They battle it out with swords until it's just Luke's fist beating into Percy's face over and over again. As Percy is bleeding on the ground, Luke retrieves his sword and holds it over Percy, saying, "You were never the one, Thalia was." Before he can bring his sword down on Percy, Tyson stops the sword with his Trident. Tyson shoulder checks Luke and sends him flying before helping Percy up.
Just when I think our heroes will get the fleece to the tree, Allison shoots Annabeth with an arrow. The impact throws her, Grover, and Clarisse from the chariot as they race into the battle scene. Annabeth says she's okay and to save the tree while Allison calls to take down the tree. Allison and a few of Luke's army chop at the tree roots while Percy stabs the fleece and throws it to Clarisse to find the quest. With perfect aim, Clarisse throws the spear, and it pierces the tree. The fleece instantly starts to glow. It breaks Thalia free, who was frozen in time, and she yells. Lighting erupts, sending both her and Percy to the ground.
Poseidon’s sons
We find Percy at the edge of the water, looking confused but unharmed, like he was at Thalia's tree. Poseidon appears, saying that this isn't death or life, this is a dream. Percy confirms that the war is starting and that Poseidon needs his son by his side. Tyson walks up and Poseidon tells him he's needed to make weapons for the war.
Without hesitation, Tyson agrees to go and do it. He wants to help the best he can because the Gods gave him Percy. Long ago, when he was on the streets, he prayed to the Gods to bring him a friend, and they gave him a brother. Again, Tyson proves there's more to a hero and a person than their background. He smiles as he goes off to get ready or wake up. A warm family moment, if I ever saw one. Percy wants to help, too, but his destiny lies elsewhere. Poseidon wanted to wait to tell Percy when he was 16, but he figured out there's no age right to carry the weight of the world, to save Olympus.
And in his own weirdly poetic way, I think beside and confirms that Percy isn't just a product of the Gods' prophecy but also of his love for Sally. He's more than the prophecy; he's Sally's and Poseidon's son. As Poseidon is telling Percy to never underestimate himself, he says Thalia said that, and then he warns him to brace himself. Percy wakes up in the infirmary. Thalia is still knocked out in a cot next to him. Annabeth tells him he's been asleep for three days, while Grover says Chiron permitted them to use the satyr healing methods to heal them. Chiron has been reinstated and wants to see Percy. To make a serious moment easier, they laugh about how Percy drools in his sleep, reminding us they're still so young as they fight these battles.
Zeus and Chiron’s lies
Grover confirms that they won this battle, the monsters left, and Luke vanished. Chiron has tasked Clarisse with training the strike force for the fight to come. She offers Percy and Annabeth a spot, while Grover says he's fine with his other assigned task. She leads her trainees out so they can talk to Chiron who regrets not telling them about his connection to Kronos sooner.
He tells them he needs to tell them the truth about when Annabeth, Luke, Thalia, and Grover arrived at camp all those years ago. Although Annabeth doesn't want to relive it, Chiron pushes forward because the story she remembers isn't how it actually ended, because he saw everything. He prepared to defend Thalia as the Furies kept their distance. Instead of attacking, they spoke until they said too much and were electrocuted on the spot. Zeus appears as Chiron says the Furies had delivered a message to Hades that could drive a wedge between Father and daughter.
Zeus tries to convince Thalia that the Furies weren't lying about the great prophecy. He confirms it's very real and that she needs to be on the right side of it. She'll be protected at camp, glorified by the other campers. She can't be rebellious anymore as she nears 16, since she's a child of the big three. The only demigods she cares about are Luke and Annabeth — the two she brought to camp, but she sees it as a mistake, and she wants to leave with them. She doesn't want to be his daughter or his weapon. When she defied him, he turned her into a tree.
Meaning Chiron lied because Zeus told him to lie that the Furies hurt her and Zeus saved her. Then, he found out that Kronos wanted the Fleece to raise his champion, but Chiron thought it was Percy, but he was wrong. Thalia walks in at that moment, confused at how Annabeth has grown. Despite everything, Annabeth melts and hugs Thalia. Everyone braces for the worst when Thalia demands to know where Luke is. Percy stares her down as his voiceover says: his nightmare just woke up.
