This time, Ody and his soldiers bumble their way through breaking out Helen of Troy, who isn’t even grateful for the help. Sparky discusses how the real tale of Ody is how he became a real father. He recounts how Ody left PENELOPE behind with their son TELE, and missed TELE’s childhood, losing his opportunity to be a good father.
