What do you think Persephone’s Greenhouse dream means? What are the ambitions that are “rotting at her feet?”

What do you think of Minthe’s appearance at Hades’ door? Is she genuine in the feelings she presents to Hades or is she only there to keep from losing him to competition?

Easter Eggs and Important Points for Later Episodes
Episode 30: Amphitrite (Poseidon’s wife) has a tail in the portrait.
Episode 31: The title of this episode is, “A Treat for Being a Fool,” which is a callback to what Hera said about Hades in episode 20. In that episode, Zeus said to Hera that Hades works hard, so doesn’t he deserve something nice (indicating Persephone). Hera is angry because Persephone is a person, and not an object, and she says, “So, Hades lets some trollop walk all over him for years and years. And now he gets a treat for being a fool?”
Episode 32: Hades starts to stutter when talking to Aphrodite, who points it out by saying, “You’re stammering. Didn’t you get over that decades ago?” We learn in a later episode that Hades was struggling with the ability to speak after being trapped in Kronos for 13 years.
Episode 32: Aphrodite refers to Hades as “Aidoneus,” which he does not like, and tells her not to call him that. In a later episode, Persephone calls him Aidoneus in a dream he has in which they are married.
Episode 33: Minthe runs a lint roller over Hades’ suit before hugging him, implying she has issues with pet hair and his dogs.
Episode 34: When Hades learns about the tabloid, he recalls Aphrodite’s words from episode 32: “When she was in your realm, in your care, did you show her the best you could be?”
Episode 38: Persephone slept in her chair. This is one of several instances in which she does not sleep in her bed following the assault.
Episode 39: The flower crown Persephone gave Cerberus in episode 37 is hanging on Hades’s laptop.
Episode 39: There is a poster of Styx hanging in the lobby of Tower 1.
Episode 44: When Hades talks to Persephone about the tabloid article, she isn’t upset and Hades says, “You’re not mad? Where is your sense of wrath?” This is one of several times wrath and acts of wrath is mentioned. We eventually learn that Persephone committed a large act of wrath.
Episode 46: The title card for episode 46, “Red Raw,” has red nymph ears drawn onto Persephone.
Episode 46: “Fuck” is spelled in magnets on Minthe’s fridge.
Episode 46: When Minthe is holding the Barley Mother cereal box and wondering if Hades and Persephone slept together, the image on the box is of a smirking Persephone with the text, “Sliding into your man’s DMs.”
Episode 47: When Hades is typing Persephone the letter, in the panel where he says, “I don’t think you can be in love with someone you don’t know,” he is crying.
Episode 48: Hades’ mug says “Underworld’s Best Daddy.”
Episode 48: The truck the Furies are using to hide in to track down Alex Petre is a mail truck and has a Hermes symbol on the side.
