• Title: Percy Jackson and the Olympians – The Prophecy Comes True
• wiki: link

Percy Jackson and the Olympians concludes with an episode that offer short confrontations between Percy (Walker Scobell) and Ares (Adam Copeland) on Earth and Percy and Zeus (Lance Reddick) in Olympus before winding down the adventure with a whimper. We also get moments of Percy with his father and his resurrected mother. While his arc does gain him recognition in the magical community, and allow him to put skills to the test, things overall don’t change with the gods still meddling in the lives of mortals to their own ends and Percy leaving Camp Half-Blood and returning home until called upon for his next adventure. It’s an underwhelming finale for an underwhelming season. At least the show is consistent.

Despite their failure, Percy chooses to move forward with his quest to the Underworld (although he still doesn’t know how to get there).

Reunited after their adventure in St. Louis, and with even more eyes on them than before, Percy (Walker Scobell), Annabeth (Leah Jeffries), and Grover (Aryan Simhadri) continue their quest running into not one but two gods before the episode concludes. During their meeting with Ares (AEW’s Adam Copeland), the kids strike a bargain. For his help in getting them further west they agree to retrieve his shield… although the God of War forgets to mention that the shield is in the middle of a trap set by Hephaestus (Psych‘s Timothy Omundson) which will force them to leave one member of the quest behind.
