Episode 141: Bad Duck
Edited: Bre Boswell
Released: 24 January 2021
Persephone wakes up with a giant Cerberus in her bed. They snuggle, and she gets ready for the day. She. cuts her hair as seen in Olympus Fashion, and walks around the house as she reads. Cordon Bleu follows her with a frown on his face, not hostile but certainly disgruntled.
Hades comes home from a run with a bag of donuts. He becomes extremely shy upon seeing Persephone. He says he brought donuts. They settle into a flirtatious banter, much to Cordon Bleu’s distress.
“You know what? I think you would serve a better purpose in a different form.”
Hera
Meanwhile, Hera and Echo demand Persephone’s belongings from the desk clerk the queen refers to as “goat man.”
He denies having anything, but they know he is lying. He was trying to sell her things on the auction website Omegabid, including panties, a sock, a book, and the brooch Demeter gave her.
Because of his deceit, Hera transforms him into a duck. They gather her things, including Persephone’s busted phone and SIM card. Hera refuses to tell Echo why she wants the item. Hera also reads a card Persephone wrote to Hades along with the silk handkerchief and sighs with relief.
Back in her opulent dressing room, Hera puts the SIM card in a phone and it switches to Persephone’s former settings. She drinks a glass of liquor as she opens the message, biting her fingernail so hard she bleeds when she sees the photos Apollo sent.
She looks upset and picks up another phone, cutting to a mysterious hooded figure with a metal arm sitting in front of two computer screens. They answer the call with, “Hello, mother.”
