Teasing the rest of Season 1, Rick said, “The fifth episode, I am particularly fond of because it’s where we meet Ares, and we have the water ride. I think I like that one because by that point in the series, our actors had really come together as a team, not only on screen, but also off screen, and they were cooking. I mean, they knew each other so well, they were getting into their parts. They knew what they were doing. I think the series gets even better. In Episode 5, you really see it. All three of the kids, they BRING IT. The scene on the water ride with Walker and Leah. And also, Grover has a great interaction with Ares that isn’t in the book, but is really, really fun.”
