Ariana:(worried)What if the mist erases their memories before they arrive?!What if the Crommyonian saw already left?!
Anastasia:Ariana,I understand you are worried,but your brother can handle himself,just like any other child of Athena.
Ariana:How do you know that?!

(Anastasia goes towards Annabeth's car)
(Anastasia starts using the tools to repair Annabeth's car)
Aaron:(confused)Seriously?!Am I the obvious one here who wonders how does she exactly know how to do this kind of stuff?!
Ariana:I think it is best not to give it too much importance now.
Aaron:Wait...Ariana,look at his neck...
(Everyone sees the unnamed tow truck man's neck has a spider bite)
Anastasia:Yup,it is definitely a spider bite.
Annabeth:I always suspected Arachne was a poisonous spider.I suppose she wanted to give a message.
