Jeffries performs Annabeth, and whereas Thalia’s tree has been within the present since season 1, Percy Jackson season 2, episode 4 is the primary time the character seems in demigod kind.
In an interview with Liam Crowley for ScreenRant‘s Percy Jackson season 2 cowl story, Jeffries breaks down how the flashbacks present Thalia being like an enormous sister to Annabeth once they had been on the run. Whereas Annabeth will get a few of her fearlessness from her mom, Athena, the flashbacks reveal how she additionally realized to be this fashion from Thalia.

She additionally hints at how this relationship will evolve past the flashbacks in season 2. Take a look at her feedback beneath:
It was massive sister, little sister, particularly whenever you see the flashbacks. Now since she stopped in time, it is like we’re the very same.
This type of has to do with the third season, however mainly we’re sort of the identical now. Coming into the second season and watching the flashbacks of what Annabeth actually went by means of and the way she checked out Thalia, you positively get to see how all the things is smart. It is like doing a math downside. You see the equation, and also you see it solved, however you do not see the precise work of how they did it.
The flashbacks have a really massive affect on the way you get to see Annabeth and the way a lot she’s grown, how she works. The fearlessness, she will get it from Athena, however she additionally will get it from Thalia.
A change from the Percy Jackson books is that audiences get to instantly see what occurred to younger Annabeth (Marissa Winans), Thalia, Luke Castellan (Charlie Bushnell), and Grover Underwood (Aryan Simhadri) as a substitute of simply listening to concerning the occasions by means of Percy Jackson’s (Walker Scobell) perspective.

It will presumably occur on the finish of season 2, which is able to arrange Thalia to be a major character within the subsequent season.
Annabeth and Thalia should grapple with the truth that they’re now “sort of the identical” in Percy Jackson and the Olympians season 3, which means that their massive and little sister dynamic will likely be gone. The flashbacks assist arrange their relationship and this storyline in a approach that was not attainable within the books and for the third season, which has already been renewed and continues to be filming.
