Season 1 was based off Riordan’s first novel,The Lightning Thief,and wrapped up with Percy confronting some of his most intense challenges yet.

The finale saw Percy battle Ares, the god of war, to retrieve Hades’ stolen helm and prevent a catastrophic war among the gods. With some help from the sea, Percy defeated Ares and brought the master bolt back to Zeus. Tensions nearly led to conflict, until Percy’s father, Poseidon, intervened, leading to a brief but meaningful father-son moment before Percy returned to Camp Half-Blood.

The celebration, however, quickly turned dark as Luke revealed his betrayal, admitting that he was the titular lightning thief, working to provoke the gods into war on behalf of Kronos, the vengeful Titan. With help from Annabeth, Percy fights off Luke, who then mysteriously escapes.
