Charlie Bushnell<\/a>), the Titan Kronos, and their impending plan to bring down Camp Half-Blood \u2014 and ultimately, Olympus.<\/p>\nSo, where is Grover when the peril begins? The last time we saw him was in the Season 1 finale, when he was about to search for Pan, the god of nature. In Season 2, fans will get to see Grover on this quest. Simhadri shared what to expect in Grover\u2019s first scenes in Season 2.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe join him as he\u2019s in this forest, and right away from the second we meet him, he\u2019s already off,\u201d the actor told TV Insider. \u201cHe stumbles upon this satyr corpse, which is very telling of what\u2019s in Grover\u2019s immediate future for this season.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWe get to see a little bit of what happens to him between Season 1 and Season 2,\u201d Simhadri continued. \u201cHe sends postcards to Percy, which was lovely, and we just pick up right alongside him.\u201d One of those postcards is seen in the trailer (see below).<\/p>\n\n\nA postcard from Grover seen in the ‘Percy Jackson and the Olympians’ Season 2 trailer<\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Grover is far from the first satyr to embark on a quest to find Pan. As explained in Season 1, many have tried, but none have returned. The blind cyclops Polyphemus is responsible for many of those tragic tales. Grover comes across \u201ca lot\u201d of dead satyrs the closer he gets to the cyclops, Simhadri warned, and once he gets to Polyphemus\u2019 cave, it\u2019s a \u201ctraumatic\u201d sight.<\/p>\n
\u201cIf you think about the quest for Pan as a bunch of linear events that happen \u2014 if he\u2019s at point B and we start at point A \u2014 Polyphemus\u2019 cave is a huge roadblock that a lot of satyrs eventually had to come up against. And so far, none of them have come back alive,\u201d Simhadri explained. \u201cSo it\u2019s interesting. It\u2019s a cool dynamic to see Polyphemus making light of the fact that Grover shows up in his cave. To Polyphemus, Grover is just another snack. To Grover, this is his whole life. And so seeing him step on satyr skulls and bones strewn all over the place, it\u2019s a traumatic position for Grover to be in, let alone the fact that he\u2019s alone from friends and family and home.\u201d<\/p>\n
Grover\u2019s dangerous quest meant that Simhadri was doing stunts on his first day of filming the second season, \u201cwhich was sick,\u201d the actor raved. Another thing that excited him was Grover finally getting his reed pipe. Satyrs use reed pipes to channel their woodland magic. When they play certain songs, the musical instrument can help them do things such as capture enemies, grow plants, and more. While Grover\u2019s reed pipe is in the first book,\u00a0The Lightning Thief<\/em>, it wasn\u2019t included in Season 1 of the show.<\/p>\nGrover will receive his panpipe at the beginning of Season 2, Simhadri shared (you can see him with the instrument in the photo at the top of the page). This was something he talked to the writers about including in the second season.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m so glad that we found a place for this,\u201d Simhadri said. \u201cI talked to Daphne about it, who\u2019s one of our incredible writers, because it wasn\u2019t there in Season 1. And we were both like, \u2018Yeah, it makes sense that Grover would now have this opportunity to showcase his skills.’\u201d<\/p>\n
Grover feels like a \u201ccomplete\u201d character to the actor now, thanks to this addition.<\/p>\n
\u201cThat\u2019s his way of fighting,\u201d Simhadri said. \u201cIt\u2019s part of his kit, and so I feel now like it\u2019s finally complete. Grover in Season 2 is basically the Grover that we\u2019re going to see for the rest of the show.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWe get to see him getting his pipes, and it\u2019s right off the top,\u201d he added. \u201cIt\u2019s kind of an immediate up for him, which was selfishly awesome for me. It\u2019s cool that he now has this physical evidence that he\u2019s older and he\u2019s a little more capable.\u201d<\/p>\n
Simhardri also shared what he thinks will surprise fans the most about Grover\u2019s plot this season.<\/p>\n
\u201cI think it\u2019s easy to forget that Grover\u2019s on his own quest a lot of the time, because he can\u2019t really bring it up to Percy and Annabeth. They don\u2019t really understand in the same way that he does,\u201d he said. \u201cThey were abandoned by their godly parents, and so was Luke. And that\u2019s why all of this started. Grover, and kind of any satyr, has always had his.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cHe\u2019s more vulnerable than everyone thinks he is,\u201d Simhadri continued. \u201cHe\u2019s portrayed as this protector who is solely there for Percy and Annabeth, but this season we see him on his own and what that does to him. The Golden Fleece is kind of the closest that he gets to Pan in a long, long time, the closest that any satyr has ever gotten to Pan. And so to see him be the one to bear that kind of, I guess, divine responsibility, I don\u2019t want to make it sound too religious, but it\u2019s huge for him. You get to see him lose it a little bit. He kind of just fully cracks. That\u2019s something that we\u2019ve never really seen from Grover before.\u201d<\/p>\n
