In episode seven of the series, KAOS, audiences get a clue to Caneaus’s prophecy, seeing that his mother ended her own life at a specific time with a purpose.
Canesus seems to feel a lack of purpose after Riddy’s husband, Orpheus, rescued her and fulfilled a divine prophecy. Medusa then separately explains to Riddy that she must go back to the world of the living. Her prophecy is the key to rebel against the gods and stop Zeus’s tyranny.
In the world of the living, Ari investigates her brother, and how he became the Minotaur. Zeus commands that Menos kill his son, the Minotaur, to prove that prophecies can be broken. With this, Zeus throws a viewing party with Hera, Poseidon, and Dionysus to make sure everything goes as plan.
As President Menos releases the Minotaur to battle him, Ari decides to go save her brother. This unfortunate meeting of the three at the same time makes these three characters collide. Minos does his duty and kills his son in front of Ari. Zeus immediately celebrates, leaving the other gods in horror.
During this time, Riddy agrees to go on the journey with Orpheus leaving Canasus. Their duty will be to make it to the world of the living and to review the god’s biggest secret, that their souls are not being renewed, but harvested.
As this episode comes to a close, Ari holds her brother in tears as her father celebrates. To audience’s surprise, Ari corrects her father. She explains that Menos’s prophecy was about her, not her brother, then murders her father. The gods are in despair, and Zeus no longer has any tolerance.
This episode held a major moment that will fasten the pace of the story, and tie together loose ends. It further proves that divine prophecy always unfolds, which angers Zeus to his breaking point. Each character is getting closer to their fate, nudging that major developments will take place in the finale of the series. While this episode was mainly filled with dialogue and anticipation, coming episodes may hold more development and surprises.
