He has also gone to Kronos and is currently on the same page with him against Olympus, wherein he is attempting to enlist the services of Annabeth and Percy. He goes as far as to poison the tree of Thalia, which guards Camp Half-Blood, endangering the camp. Rick Riordan, the author of the series, told TV Insider,“The ability to see the backstory of Thalia, Luke, and Annabeth before they arrived at Camp Half-Blood adds a great deal to the story.”Annabeth finds it difficult to accept this fact for the simple reason that she still loves Luke and believes there is good in him somewhere. The introduction to the bad guy is already made with Percy, and it might last some time before Annabeth can be convinced. Leah Sava Jeffries says that the viewers will witness a beaten and helpless Annabeth who is going to face this betrayal, and this experience makes her journey even more complicated and transparent.How does Annabeth handle Luke’s betrayal?

In the first season, she was cold, stubborn, and nearly impossible to reach by the viewers. The new episodes provide reasons why she built those defenses.Painful losses-Luke's betrayal and the loss of Grover and Thalia-make her completely alone at Camp Half-Blood. The loneliness eventually forces her to leap with trusting Percy and share feelings she's never allowed herself to share.
