In this article, we have concisely explained the ending of Percy Jackson and The Olympians E5 to act as a supplementary read for the perfectionist in you. Let’s get started!
1. Percy Jackson and the Olympians Episode 5 Ending Explained
Percy Jackson and The Olympians Episode 5 ends with Ares, the God of War, helping Percy, Annabeth, and Grover reach Hermes after they retrieve Ares’ shield from Hephestus.
The real action in episode 5 begins after Ares asks the iconic trio to retrieve his shield from Hephestus, the God of fire.
Inside the Watershed Amusement Park built by Hephestus, Percy sacrifices himself and gets trapped in God’s golden chair to get the shield. However, Annabeth doesn’t run away with the shield and stays back to help his friend. This is the first time we see an ounce of softness inside Annabeth’s heart for Percy.
Annabeth tries to convince Hephestus that they don’t crave glory or power and are only fighting for what’s right and needs to be done. Annabeth’s speech thaws the God of fire because he finds his motivation similar to the kids, and he lets them leave.
They bring back Ares’ shield, and he keeps his promise. He arranges a safe passage for Percy, Grover, and Annabeth to meet Hermes. He also tells them that if they are smart enough, Hermes will help them get to Hades’ realm to finish their mission.
Curiously, by the end of episode 5, Grover announces that he’s figured out who the real Lightning Bolt thief is. How did he do it? And who is the Lightning Bolt thief?
2. Grover’s Mindgames with The God of War
While Percy and Annabeth are busy bartering their lives to retrieve Ares’ shield, Grover is busy trying to strike up a conversation with Ares. However, he is actually extracting information from the God about the Lightning Bolt Thief.
The satyr slyly suggests that one of the Godlings might’ve stolen the Bolt on Hades’ orders, but Ares strongly negates the possibility.
Midway through the conversation, the God of war realizes that he’s spoken too much and decides to shut up. However, the damage has already been done, and Grover has a name in mind!
If you’ve watched the first Percy Jackson movie with Logan Lerman or read Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief by Rick Riordan, you know that Luke is the one who stole the Bolt.
In fact, it was Luke who turned out to be the betraying friend, according to Oracle’s prophesy.
Since Rick Riordan is at the helm of production, we can expect the conclusion to remain the same in the series. Therefore, be ready for the ultimate face-off between the best swordsman in Camp Half-Blood and the infamous Percy Jackson!
