See THIS is why I trust the writers because the whole point of the deadline passing was so we could SEE Poseidon surrendering for Percy. The show has given Poseidon a more active and loving role in Percys life. The gods pride would never let them surrender to one another. But Poseidon knew his brother wouldn’t spare his son’s life. And he knew the only thing that would spare his son’s life was him surrendering. ALSO FURTHER CEMENTING THAT PERCY IS HIS FAVORITE CHILD! The writers pens this episode>>>
I think that Dionysius and the other gods should put more respect on Sally Jackson’s name considering she, a mere mortal, can command the sea with as little as the scraps of a hot fudge sundae
“This scene gives them a real relationship. It wasn’t just some sort of Fly By Night kind of thing, not a fling or fad, he’s invested. He’s invested in her, he loves her. And he is invested in a son who he loves.”

"I really liked working with Virginia, and she's a really great actress. We found that very quickly. The scene just had a very intimate feel." Source
"It's a domestic scene between a mother and father, and at the heart of it there's this pain. It's a yearning between two people to be connected who can't be." Source
About Lance Reddick: “It was so strange because we instantly connected just as actors and as people. I really liked him. I genuinely connected with him.” Source

“When Poseidon turns around to Percy, it's like, 'You don't realize what you've cost me,' but he's not going to let him know that. Instead, he's like, 'You're trouble, but I love you and I'm proud of you at the same time. And I'm willing to save you.” Source
"He's like, 'Yeah, I dream about her all the time, and it's incredibly painful. And if only I could talk to you about it, but I'm not going to do that.’ There is that side of our parents that is always mysterious.“ Source
"I want him to know who he is, before your family tries to tell him who they want him to be. He is better than that. He has better things in him than that."
