* Hephaestus defying Zeus' orders by contacting Leo for the first time. Though Leo's understandably angry with him for being a [[ DisappearedDad deadbeat]], he reveals that he's been watching over Leo for his entire life, and chose this moment to reach out because he knew that Leo needed him.
** When Festus dies at the hands of Khione, Hephaestus brings his head back to Bunker 9, so he can be resurrected as the masthead for the Argo II.
* Jason meeting up and Leo's reaction to Piper revealing that she'd planned to betray them to Enceladus -- they are immediately and completely supportive, and willing to jeopardize the success of their quest if it means saving her father.

with Thalia, his the sister after they'd he's been separated from for years. Bittersweet, though, in He's finally able to get some answers about his MysteriousPast, and it's clear from her reaction that he also finds out some pretty hard things she's overjoyed at finding him alive.

* The fact that Jason instinctively wanted to stick up for Piper when she was being bullied, and the only reason he doesn't intervene is because Leo points out that Piper prefers to fight her own battles. Also serves as an EstablishingCharacterMoment for all three of them.
* The sheer volume of people participating in the search for Percy, ranging from close friends like Grover to Thalia and her Hunters -- even though her friendship with him has pushed the envelope in regards to their rules about men in the past.
* Annabeth giving Piper a private tour of camp because she knows the other girl won't want a crowd around when she realizes that she and Jason [[spoiler: were never really together]].



* Also him deliberately not making a move on her at the campfire because he doesn't want her to think he's only hitting on her because she has the blessing of Aphrodite. Cute as hell, especially when you consider the scene from Piper's POV... in which she's really hoping he'll make a move.
* Annabeth promising to keep Jason's secret, even though she barely knows him and Thalia is one of her closest friends, until he tells her he's comfortable with other people knowing.
* Lacy and Mitchell treating Piper with genuine kindness, and showing her the force for good that Cabin 10 has the potential to be.



** Though it crosses into tearjerker territory when you consider the result, the reason he went to the mountains alone without alerting the press is because he [[PapaWolf believed that Piper was in danger]].

* Mars in general is a nice contrast to his abusive and brutish Greek counterpart. He's a ReasonableAuthorityFigure who seems to truly care about Frank and his mother. He even gifts Frank a copy of ''The Art of War''.
