Percy joins her to help defeat the monster, though Thalia is visibly annoyed and says she doesn’t need his help.
Once the demigods win the battle, Annabeth appears and admits she asked Percy to come as the two of them need Thalia’s help to rescue two demigods — presumabely Nico and Bianca di Angelo — and take them to Camp Half-Blood. The tension between Thalia and Percy carries over from the ending of Season 2, with Percy openly admitting he doesn’t want the daughter of Zeus to join them. Before a decision is made, Thalia is seen driving away.
