Summary of Kaos Episode 3: The Gods Want Vengeance
A car screeches to a stop at a gas station and its driver runs inside to use the toilet on top of the Chaos Episode 3.
Tisi (Donna Banya), Alecto (Cathy Tyson), and Meg (Natalie Klamar) – collectively known as The Furies – follow the driver. Prometheus (Stephan Dillane) explains off-screen that The Furies are as old as the gods. They roam the earth, dispensing justice where they believe it is being neglected. This task is made easier by the fact that only those pursuing them can see them. When The Furies find the man, Terry (Richard Sutton), he pulls out a gun and points it at them. The Furies tell Terry he knows how to get rid of them, so he shoots himself. The Furies cross Terry off their list and then drive to their next target.
How does this relate to the rest? Chaos? Check below to find out what else is happening in Chaos Episode 3.
Ari and the Trojans
Prometheus introduces Ariadne (Leila Farzad), the third human needed for the plot to overthrow Zeus (Jeff Goldblum). Ariadne’s father is President Minos (Stanley Townsend), who rules Crete. She is next in line to the throne.
Ari accidentally murdered her twin brother Glaucus when she was a toddler by rolling on top of him in her sleep. Ari’s mother refuses to accept his death and creates a model in the image of her dead son every year on her birthday.
We also learn that Theseus (Daniel Lawrence Taylor), Ari’s bodyguard, to whom she is very attracted, was the person who let in the protesters who replaced the monument with the giant pile of shit.
Minos meets with Hecuba (Gillian Cally), the former queen of Troy, and her daughter-in-law Andromache (Amanda Douge). They live in a sanctuary on Crete, but Trojans do not have the same rights as the locals. As the highest-ranking members of the Trojans, they are asked about the desecration of the monument honoring the gods. But they insist on knowing nothing about it.
Minos knows that a group called the Trojan 7 is behind it. They have captured six of them, but no one knows who the leader is. Minos tells Andromache to find the leader by midnight or he will release the Minotaur from its cage.
Poseidon must act
On a yacht, Zeus meets his younger brother Poseidon (Cliff Custis), the god of the seas. Zeus says that an example must be made after the desecration of the monument. It is dangerous to allow humans to commit blasphemy without consequences. But Poseidon says that humans are not a threat, Zeus is embarrassing himself; he just needs to relax. Zeus threatens to replace Poseidon with Dionysus (Nabhaan Rizwan) and orders Poseidon to make a statement against humans and bring order to his city.
After Zeus leaves, Poseidon calls Hera (Janet McTeer) and says Zeus is losing his mind. Hera says the Fold scared him, but his worries will pass. She tells Poseidon to just do what Zeus wants.
In the Hera Chapel on Olympus, Hera has sex with Poseidon. Afterwards, Poseidon confesses that he would like to see Zeus at his side.
Poseidon then speaks to Minos and wants to know what he plans to do with the Trojans. Minos says they are looking for the leader and promises that justice will prevail at midnight. Poseidon tells Minos to kill them all.
Ari promises to help
Ari disagrees with Poseidon’s demand and wants to show mercy to the Trojans. No one will expect that and it will make the Trojan population more compliant. More violence would only make things worse. She also believes that people should vote. But Minos says people cannot be trusted to vote for what they need. He also reminds her that the gods decide who rules. Minos confirms that the Trojans must be punished.
Theseus takes Ari to Nax (Daniel Monks), the seventh Trojan, who also happens to be his friend. Nax is ready to surrender, but Theseus says Ari is there to save him and the rest of the Trojans. Nax says he attacked the monument because the gods have abandoned them and the Trojans will be wiped out; there are only 15,000 of them left.
Ari finds out that Nax is Andromache’s son. Hecuba and Andromache enter the room and call Nax the hope of their people. Ari says she will take Nax to her father and promises that he will forgive him since it is her birthday.
When she tells Minos that she wants to save the Trojan 7 because she killed Glaucus, he accepts the offer. The Trojan 7 are released. But as they reunite with their family, Cassandra (Billie Piper) appears and screams at them to run away.
Minos backs out
When Zeus sees the reunion on television, he curses Poseidon and calls him.
As Minos is taking a bath, Poseidon suddenly appears next to him. Minos tries to apologize, but Poseidon chokes him with his toes and tells him to do as he is told.
Minos’ soldiers then attack the homes of the 7 Trojans, take them all prisoner and unleash the Minotaur on them.
Ari is awakened by Andromache’s screams. She laments the seven corpses that were hung where the monument was. When Andromache discovers Ari, she blames her for these deaths. Minos tells Ari that her death was the will of the gods and he cannot defy them.
Throughout the episode, Ari is pursued by the Furies, who repeatedly remind her of the murder of Glaucus. After storming away from her father, Ari goes into another room, only to be confronted by the Furies, who tell her that they are here to talk about her brother.
