‘Percy Jackson’ Takes Annabeth Through the Tunnel of Love
We’re now over halfway through our quest with Percy Jackson and the Olympians’s first season—and yet, the kids are still stuck in Missouri on their route from New York City to Los Angeles. Guys! That lightning bolt isn’t going to find itself. Get moving.
After the fight with Echidna (Suzanne Cryer) and her beastly pet in the St. Louis Gateway Arch, Annabeth (Leah Jeffries) and Grover (Aryan Simhadri) have somehow escaped her monstrous clutches. They haven’t, however, skirted their way out of the law quite yet, seeing as the police are now hunting down anyone with any insight on the attack on the Arch. Annabeth and Grover flee the scene, but at this point, they should consider fleeing the country, too.
Grover wants to see if Percy (Walker Scobell) is still alive after his huge fall, but Annabeth is too fixated on a trio of old ladies sitting by the arch to care. He drags her away to a nearby dock and, sure enough, Percy climbs out of the Mississippi River. The boy who lived! He apologizes for taking over in the fight with Echidna, but both of his pals rush to hug him. “You’re not as dead as we thought you’d be,” Grover says to celebrate.
