Episode Date: January 8, 2026TITUS, CYLOPS, & LUKE!! Percy Jackson & The Olympians Season 2 Full Reaction Watch Along: / thereelrejects Percy Jackson & The Olympians 2x6 Reaction, Recap, Commentary, & Review! Greg ...Alba & Tara Erickson react to Percy Jackson & The Olympians Season 2 Episode 6, and this episode brings the quest crashing straight into betrayal and confrontation. Percy and Annabeth race to rescue Clarisse and Grover from the Cyclops, turning the Sea of Monsters into an all-out battle for survival. What starts as a rescue mission quickly escalates into a massive emotional turning point when they come face-to-face with Luke once again — forcing Percy to confront how far his former friend has fallen. The showdown intensifies with Titus entering the conflict, pushing alliances, loyalties, and destinies to their breaking point. This episode delivers heavy action, long-simmering character tension, and major book moments fans have been waiting for — reinforcing why Season 2 is darker, bolder, and more mythologically intense than ever. We break down the Cyclops confrontation, Luke’s return, how Percy and Annabeth grow as leaders, and what this reunion sets up for the final stretch of the season.

they've transitioned from the title to an actual scene like it's in the same shot i think so that's
cool what happened uh who is that is that tyson or percy i can't tell looks like
Hecson.
Aw.
Somebody's going to save him.
What if it's his dad?
Isn't he capable of saving himself?
Yeah, you're right.
He's surrounded by water where he should be living.
Pretty hard to get that visual effect down while being underwater.
In the water?
I agree.
And it looks good.
Oh, he's took the breath.
I like that.
Dad didn't have to tell him.
He just knew.
Did he burp?
This is his first time.
realizing i think so what do you see is it going to be those i can't tell it's a tiara thingy
oh the bracelet bracelet that um anemeth through yeah those are some mucky waters that's how it is
deep down oh love that lighting on his face right now that's great
Cool.
I love the vibe in here.
Kind of spooky.
That's a nice,
locked off moving shot.
That's cool.
Oh, he's having a nightmare.
Oh.
That son of a bitch.
Subookey.
Ah!
Okay.
I imagine we want to get to the main baddy Kronos to like season three.
Right?
We got to, we got to, we're going, we're building.
They really got to, they're going to make us wait for it.
Guys, it's been raiding in L.A. for like two weeks straight, which is rare, and no lightning.
And I'm like, can we get a little entertainment with the rain?
No lightning.
You can't wait until tomorrow.
We've got to get over in the fleece right now.
No.
Polyphemus maybe half blind, but he can hear a pin drop.
He can smell us coming.
You try to get in his cave while he's there, and we're dead.
Stick to the plan, Percy.
In your dream, you said there's a hole on top of the cave right under the tree.
So we wait till morning, use his sheep to cover our sound and scent.
Get up the hill.
Steal the fleece and throw the rope down a Grover, I know.
If we know the plan, it's not going to go according to plan.
Yeah.
Did you have another Grover dream?
No. No.
It was a nightmare.
I thought Kronos was there, but then I saw a different face.
Okay, what do you look like?
She.
That was a she? You can.
Can you see the face?
What?
Oh!
Wait, do we know that face?
Does that look like Anabas?
Mom?
Does it look like Talia to me?
Or maybe?
It was too quick.
Well, then we got dreams a tricky, so.
My mom always said that the thing that she liked about dreams is that they never lie.
My mama always said that my dreams are made a box of chocolate.
I always tell the truth.
Run, Percy, run.
Swim.
to swim.
Get some sleep.
We move at dawn.
We ride at dawn.
Alone.
Oh.
That's the cyclops.
Yeah.
That's the real beauty of my island.
Dang, that voice.
I know.
Epic.
The gift of living.
The gravel.
Alone.
If you had that, your wife would like you better.
She might like me at all.
Yeah.
So you can protect your treasures.
A shepherd?
I have made this island a world unto itself, my world.
All outsiders are enemies or food.
The island's metaphorical because he is an island himself.
He's alone.
I learned long ago.
If you don't trust nobody, then you live.
You see.
Your mortals can't see that even with all your eyes.
You're someone who likes to be alone?
Obviously.
You can't seem to shut up.
Because no one truly wants to be alone.
Being alone is not the same as silence, little demigod.
Or loneliness.
True.
I will add your voices to my collection to keep the conversation stimulating.
Oh.
Oh, ew.
Gross.
From Truff.
I learned of things like classic rock and anime.
There you are.
From Meritus.
I love me.
of ships that travel beneath the waves
and others that sail the stars.
That boys could read me a book anytime.
Where'd you learn to use the fleece to Lord Seder's here?
Those poor souls.
How do you know what would give off the same scent as Pan?
Who do you think brought the mighty artifact in the first place?
Pan was here?
Why? Why would he do that?
That not the intentions of the lost God concern you, little Seder.
You know what I think?
I think he's worried.
Hmm.
Hmm
Scared that our reinforcements are coming for him
True
Oh he's so wise
Unlike saitors
Demi gods are dangerous
Heroes will cross oceans
To save their friends
And when they do
I'll be ready
That's why I kept you alive
As bait
Bopopo
Their voices will join yours in my
Collection
Nah bra
I mean, growers probably have a plan to thwart this in some way.
Alright, I'll grab our disguises.
I'll watch the cave entrance so we can see him coming.
But once he comes out, we gotta move fast.
Oh, little goats.
Don't get confused, that's not the golden fleece.
Is it Talia?
Or?
No. Okay.
Holly Femis isn't like other cyclops that sees cunning and you're on his territory, which gives him a big edge over.
I don't need your advice.
Yeah, we're cunning too.
And I really don't need your help.
Tell him.
You just wanted to know if we've got the fleece yet.
I'm just wrong about everything.
Huh?
Uh-uh.
Not everything.
What is he?
What does he write about?
Yeah, I'm like, I was like, can he see her talking?
No, he can't.
Okay.
You can write about Thalia.
Oh, yeah, yeah.
makes sense. She hated Zeus. I remember that now, but you were wrong to think that she would ever
stand with Krono. She would have wanted change. Not through war. Luke, Kronos has already changed
you. You can't even see how much of yourself you've lost. There's a lot of just putting
their own objectives in other people's hands instead of... What are you doing? He called me.
You wanted to warn us about Polyphemus. Polyphemus is leaving his cave right now. Let's go.
Luke's working an angle. You know that, right? Oh, we're dressing up like sheep.
Why are you wasting so much time on Annabate Ches?
Because they have history.
I decide what's important.
And that wasn't about her.
That was recon.
Oh.
Dun, done.
I don't think she buys her bullshit, man.
I would love to be an actor in this shot.
I would think it would be so much fun.
Keep float and stay quiet.
He used his dim whittiness to bait them.
Yeah, totally.
Just be a sheep
Yeah, make some sheep noise
You're better off
Not making any noise
I know, right? Just stay quiet, head down
Maybe you can't tell
There's no way
For Cyclops POV we've gotten
Yeah
He needs a singular lens
Yeah, he needs some glasses
I don't know, that smile might have been telling
that he could tell. Yeah, I can't tell
yet
Oh, he knows
exactly where they're at.
He's no fool.
He's smarter than you know.
Don't say his name.
Yeah, don't say.
Stop.
Oh, my God.
Grover.
What are you doing?
Oh, he's trying to tell him.
Clarice's alive.
She's down there with him.
I would follow Clarice's
in six on those ones.
Because she's going to find a way out of this.
Oh, no.
That's too much noise, though.
Yeah, yeah, get that glass.
Come on now.
Heck, yeah.
I love that, smart.
Love that.
I didn't see that one coming.
That's going to take like three days.
I'd be so scared about cutting myself.
We barely have enough time to get Grover.
And now we've got to bring up two people before he returns to the cave.
I can always leave Clarice.
And if that's good at Ropes.
It's one of her skills.
Oh, boy.
He'll be back any minute.
Let's get them out.
Get the fleece and then get out of here.
I don't think it's going to be that easy.
I would grab the fleece first.
Yeah.
Oh.
What?
Oh, that's his juice from his thingy.
Percy!
Come around.
Put it together.
Parsi.
He's got a great upper body strength.
Oh, no.
The truck!
He set you off.
He's placed the fake.
That's why they should have got the fleece first.
Oh, nice, nice.
You'll be trapped in here with us.
Oh, good.
If I was Percy, I'd bring a bottle of water.
Everywhere I went.
Oh, no.
Catch him.
Nice.
Clarice.
Ha, ha, ha.
The only way out now is through me just as I plan.
Yeah, if you, like, slammed a rock against his head or...
Yeah, something.
If you kicked him down.
Guess your eyesight is worse than they say.
Reveal yourself.
Throw some dirt in his eye.
And I will make sure to kill you quick.
Not today, buddy.
Nobody sent me.
Nobody.
Do you remember him?
Uh-oh.
I would steal his knife and just gut him.
How embarrassing it must have been to have audition.
He has tricked you into thinking his name was nobody.
Then jabbing you in the eye with a spear.
That was just so rude.
That she must be having him strike specific points or something.
He's wearing a real cute outfit for this fight.
He's rich, isn't he?
Yeah.
He has character background, a little rich.
Always be looking good.
Oh, my God.
That's great.
If he just gets closer to the cliff,
He can just boop.
He's going to grab the wrong fleece, though.
Yeah, true.
He's got to be able to tell it's a fake, though, right?
Oh, that's beautiful.
Oh, you know, you can feel it.
The goats
Oh, I think this is going to lead to an unlikely alliance
The golden fleece
Yeah, we need to hustle, y'all
We don't have time to talk about this
Uh, no.
Uh-huh.
Oh yeah, well, first you got your sword,
because you could actually do some damage.
The fleece is mine.
Oh!
Oh, uh...
Oh, dang, one hit got her.
Wow.
Oh, there's still a little crack.
Try that.
Get away from her.
Tyson.
There we have it.
Tyson
Hey brother
They're all coming together
Step aside little brother
Ah the irony
He's literally in between
He's middle childing this
Totally
You're not my brother
My brother
This side this cave
The miss to see how my mom
Don on Tom
To lost out when they apparel
I am no monster
Gotos
Tell
Percy's not like you. He's a hero.
Yeah, it's pretty cool to keep it some Percy's POV.
Oh, God, he just... I don't want to hurt him.
You hurt me.
Oh, nice!
Demy, Cyclops and Demigod.
Yeah.
Oh, heck yeah!
What up, Ty?
Yeah, yeah, yeah!
Off to cliff!
Antibeth!
No.
This day just started to have to be a real shitty day for Percy.
Don't judge her! Get away from her!
Uh-oh.
Luke, you better not hurt her!
I think he's gonna help her.
Oh, okay.
She's gonna be like, we can't give it to him, right?
You need to give the fleece to Luke.
Are you crazy?
It's a little risky.
How did you get here? To the islands.
What different?
difference does that make we don't have time you created a portal right yeah portals out
open another one inside the cave and let us out so we can't yeah yes why i'm serious
this is the only way we can do this and i'm serious i can't why only one person can go through
and i already used the uh leap of faith clary says an idea i think they're stuck between a rock
and a hard place i'm not giving we use just like a save your life i don't
I'm not sacrificing the quest.
Annabeth would understand.
She would know that this, this is bigger than any of us.
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, okay.
Okay.
Dang it, hang it.
Oh, no, you better heal her, you better heal her, buddy.
You better actually use it.
Oh, okay, that works.
That's so cool.
That's why they want to bring it, Talia.
That works cool.
Ooh, her hair started sparkling.
Is she okay?
She will be.
Do you realize what you just done?
You killed us.
That was...
Yeah.
That's what he's done.
He's made the last two episodes a lot more interesting, is what he's done.
You probably killed Antibeth two. Great job, Hero.
You need back off?
Come on, he had to.
It was written in the stars.
Tyson
Oh
Nice
I'm gonna tell you
I thought looking at his
Cyclope I was gonna make me
like dizzy but
I'm Tyson
I know what happened to Polyphemus
He won't bother anyone again
Oh he took care of him huh
He just had a good stern talking to him
No I'm sorry Percy
Luke took Hanibet
I couldn't have gone after them but you were here
Oh
Good job

appreciate it and we call you Royal Rejects over there so you know you can feel special okay
let's get into it let's review that's our job um how did you like it Gregory it was good
it was good it is a solid installment of the season I don't think it's one of the there's like
strong moments. I thought there's like strong emotional moments that were some of the strongest
of the season. I don't feel as an overall episode. It's one of the strongest of the season.
But it's a reasonably good installment. Like I like the expansion of the lore of the main
Cyclops. I forget his name. Polysiferous or something like that. Polysiferous.
Polysiferous. Yeah. I like his characterization quite a bit. Yeah. And I love every moment
with Tyson in particular, like the heartfelt relationship with him choosing
between like the path of a cyclops in that moment or going with his brother and then choosing
his actual brother percy was a beautiful reunion moment that they had and all the dynamics i think
are really good everything with clarice i find really engaging and the way they've pivoted the
stakes to have luke come in to represent the gray side of luke that it's not he's not just some like
black and white antagonist that clearly he believes he's doing some type of good motive and
even in the moment where he wants to save ann and beth you can see that this is a moment of true
inner conflict for everyone.
So there's a lot of strengths.
And the episode itself was, I don't know,
there's just something there that was like,
wasn't the most thrilling to me.
Yeah.
Yet I could acknowledge it's a solid installment of an episode.
And I like more of the setup for what they did.
Yeah.
Or than the overall execution,
while still very appreciative of the overall execution.
But that's just my feeling on the matter.
What are your feelings?
Yeah, I thought it was really,
a fun cliffhanger. Like, I'm ready
for the next episode. Like, I want to go
gliding on those hippo campus things.
Um, but I did, I
thought that when Tyson arrived and he's
like, my only brother here
is the one inside that cave.
I was like, okay. It got, it was
like a little melodramatic, but
I still really liked it because there was a lot
of growth there for Tyson. Like, I was really
hoping when he, when he
would pop up that I would feel like more
alive in this episode because
I just really love it when Tyson
is around like he's one of my favorite characters i don't know what it is it's just i think it's just
his earnest like sweet nature um and he's like always there for his brother like you can just see
like when percy in my hug he just looked like exhausted and so happy like i hadn't seen percy give
someone a hug even if it was annabeth and look that like that relieved because you know when
you have people in your life that if you are with them or you get a hug from
they bring you like a sense of safety and calm and that's kind of rare that's not all of your friends
that's not everyone around you and i could feel that in that shot which i think was a good direction
a key to their chemistry um and i really like that clarice was the one that was smart enough
to break the glass and and get them out that it wasn't grover um and again more more and more
shows are putting women in like more power positions where they're like kind of the smarter ones
in the room where as before whatever back in the day it's always like the guy and the girl always
seems sort of like help me and I don't like that but nowadays I really like that they're giving
like the women or the girls in shows movies more stuff to do and that they have the better ideas
of how to get them df out of there so I really enjoyed that part and I thought for a second when
Luke had the fleece that he would maybe run with it.
And I agree with you that I'm glad that they fleshed him out more,
that he's not just a black and white villain,
that he does still have a heart.
And like, we do go back to their history when he does save Annabeth.
You know, they have that history there.
And it would have been really tragic if he would have run off of that fleece and not
saved her because then he would be like a true villain.
Like he has to die.
That's how I would have felt like you heard me say in the episode.
I was like, if he doesn't help her, we have to kill him.
which would have been bad.
So I'm interested to see how that relationship evolves between Luke and Annabeth
and him saving her when she's like, oh, you saved me and you didn't really have to, I guess.
But I'm mostly excited about the hippo ride.
Like, let's go rainbows.
Let's do this.
I think that's like the most fun.
I don't know what I'm most intrigued by the effects, what it's going to look like.
The fact that there's exactly four.
like, does the bracelet do that?
Like, does it know? Or was there
always only four? Because I'm like, that's a wild
coincidence. I would like to
know more about the science behind
the bracelet.
But other than that, I agree
with you. It's not like the most exciting one,
but it was a good installment to get us
to where we need to be for the next episode.
I'm legit excited.
Like I, you better not show me
an episode where they're not riding those hippo
rainbows, because I'll be disappointed.
Yeah. I'm happy.
I mean, the whole cast is back together.
Yeah.
Anabeth's not there.
But the looks like by the next episode, the entire cast will be there.
Yeah, which is fun.
Like when they get all together.
Yeah, this one felt like a play in some ways.
Yeah.
Because it's like the, there wasn't much going on in the locations.
It was kind of barren, which I think works for the location where the Cyclops is.
And how much of an island figuratively and literally he is.
Yeah.
So, but so it didn't let him.
it's up to a lot of like cool
you know pastiche type of
language in the cinematic side
but it allowed it to be a little bit like a play
they were all just kind of like showing up one at a time
taking turns etching the frame and stuff so
it was nice to see that like again it was like mainly the
character dynamics and the consequences of choices
and the gray to it so yeah I'm excited
I'm excited for where we're just going to go next
what do you think Tyson did with his brother
not with Percy with the you know
the permythia whatever his name is
do we think he
he killed him or honestly was like
you go away and you don't
come back for a while. I don't think
he killed him. Although I kind of like
they went off the cliff and maybe he was just
like... I imagine it like knocked
him out. Yeah.
He said he won't ever, he won't be hurting anyone again.
Right. I wonder how he did
that though. Yeah, I don't know.
I don't really know what the rules of a cyclops
are. Can you like throw them to the
water and can they survive underwater
or can Tyson only survive because
he's a demigod? He's a demigod.
That's right, because the Cyclops isn't.
Yeah, so I don't know.
I have no idea.
Yeah, I don't know either.
But it didn't happen on screen, so there's a chance he's alive.
He's going to come back, I feel like, for sure.
But I wonder if that statement that he gave where he's like, he's never going to hurt anybody again, if that's actually true.
We'll see.
We'll see, man.
Okay, you got any last things?
I mean, this is short episodes.
Those are like my main thoughts.
Yeah, I don't really have much.
I don't really have, right, right.
Well, we love you guys.
Make sure that you're, you know, leave a comment.
Tell us what you guys think.
I mean, what do you think he did with the sidewalks?
Let me know if you know the signs behind the bracelet.
I got to know, like, about the hippos that come alive.
Like, is it always for hippos for the amount of people that are near the bracelet?
I want to know these things.
Excited about the next episode.
Leave a like, leave a comment.
Tell us how cool we are.
Be cool.
Be nice.
Be kind.
We love you.
We'll see on the next one.
Thank you.
