Hecate arrives home, and Percy tells her everything that happened. She doesn’t punish him because he brought her a new puppy (fair enough). Percy convinces Hecate to reopen her magic school, much to Eudora’s excitement. Annabeth, Juniper, and Grover join the Jackson-Blofis household for dinner and they have a nice heartwarming ending. Juniper says people who move away don't leave us, they're just spreading their branches. Sending love to all of you lovely friends who are near and far away!

Then, we discuss our overall thoughts on this book, read some emails, and play some audio messages. Make sure to stay for the end to hear what we plan to do next!

We are joined once again by friend of the podcast, Ishanie, to talk about some of the final chapters of this book! The fight with Peter and his ghosts is in full swing. The eels save the day, and somehow, milk is brought up. Again. We realize Peter is probably in Elysium (it's rigged!). Once again, we get confused by the timeline and by the references to so many modern pop culture moments. Percy throws a rager at Hecate's house. Camp Half-Pod does NOT endorse demigod children doing drugs. For legal purposes everything we have ever said is actually a bit we're doing!!! Don't cancel us!!! Percy and Annabeth have a super sweet heart-to-heart. We love our emotional support couple!

Finally, we learn the truth about Sally. It's not as exciting as we were theorizing. Turns out, Sally met Hecate before, when she was a child! Percy gets some more background on the magic school from his mom and from his school counselor, and we learn that apparently the end of magic school was linked to WW1? Also, we decide that magic school is for the girlies. Percy, Annabeth, Grover, and the pets summon some ghosts. We have no clue who Peter Stuyvesant is, but we learn. Listeners, please tell us, did you know of this guy? Are we just forgetting everything from high school history class? They summon Peter, who sucked as a person, and take the ghosts back to the mansion. Things, of course, don't go to plan!

It's been a rough week, y'all. Here is a podcast episode to hopefully bring some joy to your lives. Percy, Annabeth, and Grover get hit with beast breath, and turn into strange animal hybrids. Percy bonds with Gale and learns her backstory, which prompts Erin to do a deep dive on witch-hunting in Ancient Greece. Manasa finds a disturbing owl-human hybrid image on Google and shares it with all of us to curse our brains. Gale and Percy create a cure, and thankfully, it works and restores everyone to normal. The pets all make it back home safe, but the home is still crumbling. Percy decides it's time to finally ask Sally what she knows about Grammercy Park.

Funds from this episode's ads will be donated to abortion funds in the US in light of the recent election.

Manasa attempts to redeem herself post-milk debacle. She stands by her original theory. We discuss how this book sounds a lot younger in tone, and in themes. Percy and Grover continue their search for Gale throughout perfume departments, and Annabeth arrives to help them out and provide the brain cell. They find Gale, who is being metaphorically milked for knowledge, and fight some naiads to try and save Gale. We discuss if it's cool to yell out your move before executing it.

We are very sleep deprived in this one, so topics somehow include the recession, the U.S. education system, and...milk? After getting Hecuba home, Percy, Annabeth, and Grover turn to finding Gale. We learn some more about Hecate's magic school and Sally's potential connection to it. Percy and Grover have a nice bonding moment, and Grover almost dies via squirrels. They go on the hunt for Gale in perfume stores. Manasa thinks they're literally milking Gale. Milk is now triggering for Manasa after this episode. If you're reading this, please comment milk on this episode to further harass her! Also make sure you stay for the last 5 minutes of this one.

We start off this episode by being really confused about the timeline, thanks to some great points from listeners re: Percy's comments about Leo. Rick definitely doesn't know his own timeline. In these chapters, the gang is on the hunt for Hecuba this week, who is having a grand old time terrorizing Greek businesses. They fight undead warriors and Percy somehow travels through space and time to Troy. There's a really sweet conversation about grief and loss with Hecuba. She's forming a blended family with Nope. Also, there are three pee counts in this episode!

Grover... you've really done it this time. We return to our roots, aka, making fun of Grover. Also Erin has a new microphone and it becomes her whole personality. Grover explodes the house because he has no self control, and the pets escape. If Manasa was Percy, she'd have to go on a lot of walks. Mrs. O'Leary shows up (we all missed her very much) and Percy randomly adopts a puppy. Then, for some reason, Chiron is at Percy's school. Also, Percy still has to go to school. We ask the important questions: is Chiron poor? Is camp poor? Is Chiron still a zaddy?
