In this episode, we tackle chapters 3 and 4 of The Lightning Thief. Percy's life takes a turn as he discovers his best friend has hooves, his mom harbors some big secrets, and the Minotaur has some questionable wardrobe choices. We discuss Percy's messy home life, the origins of blue food, and Sally Jackson's reign as one of the greatest moms in fiction. Period. And, of course, we can't forget Annabeth's iconic "he must be the one!"—because Percy "Main Character" Jackson has arrived at Camp Half-Blood. So grab your cherry coke (blue, of course), and join us as we unpack Percy's early struggles with identity, belonging, and the impossible task of keeping his mom happy while avoiding literal death. Reminder: we're navigating the Sea of Spoilers together. This is a retrospective deep dive, so no breadcrumb of prophecy or twist is left unexplored—from The Lightning Thief to Wrath of the Triple Goddess. You've been warned!
