Jason's growling stomach will lead him to succumb to temptation in Atlantis' "Hunger Pains."

There's no such thing as a free meal and Jack Donnelly's character will learn this the hard way. Stuck far from home in a land out of time, the penniless Jason will stumble upon a lavish, untouched feast and decide to help himself. The after effect, however, will be somewhat odd.

Hercules (Mark Addy) and Pythagoras (Robert Emms) will have to confront their friend when he returns to their home one morning buck-naked after roaming the city acting like what appears to be a ravenous dog (see video below). Unfortunately for the trio, it is not long before Heptarian (Oliver Walker) and his royal cohorts set out to discover who is causing such a disturbance in the city and put an end to them,

Meanwhile, Hercules is still Hades-bent on finding a cure for his beloved Medusa (Jemima Rooper), according to Spoiler TV. The once normal woman received her mythological curse when she opened Pandora's Box, and Jason remains the only one who can look upon her with without suffering any ill effect. However, as Hercules becomes ever more frustrated and despairing, the braggadocio will try to force drops of comfort from the bottom of a flagon.
