How It All Goes Down
- They fly into an ice storm, which is not the sort of weather you're supposed to have in Sonoma, California.
- They land and a giant ice boulder smashes the helicopter.
- The battle is raging everywhere—Thalia kills an ogre and greets them.
- She tells them the monsters re-form after they're killed, which makes winning difficult.
- Hera's inside, and Thalia figures they need to free her before dark or Porphyrion will rise and the monsters will be stronger and everything will be higgledy-piggledy.
- They realize this is the place where Jason's mom left him.
- And then they find Hera in the mansion courtyard. She's in a cage, and beside her is the giant rising out of the earth.
- Hera and Thalia bicker. It seems these two don't like each other much.
- And then Leo and Jason and Hera bicker.
- Hera tells Leo to break her out already. He tries to figure out how, and gets an idea that Piper might be able to help, if there's time.
- But of course mentioning needing time is a bad idea.
- A wolf drags a frozen Thalia in, and Khione appears again, yammering super-villain threats.
