Chapter 12: We Check In to C.C.'s Spa & Resort | The Sea of Monsters

YARGHH MATEYS! Beware the Sea of Monsters, for great evils lurk within. Including... pirates? Dead men tell no tales, so it's a good thing we're alive and well to break down this chapter for you! We're covering a real variety in today's episode. The chapter starts slow and somber as Percy Jackson grapples with the presumed death of his brother before quickly descending into complete chaos on Circe's island. As such, Connor is presenting a deep dive on Odysseus's encounter with Circe on her island before we get another special history deep dive from Jack! This week, Ramblings from Cabin 6 is all about the famed pirate Blackbeard, so climb aboard as we set sail for our longest episode yet!
