Okay first of all Piper charmspoke Jason about three times in MoA and it had nothing to do with helping him, she just gave him orders and charmspoke him and it bothered me to the core that she was so okay with it. I mean I'd probably run around in circles if I realize I've just manipulated my boyfriend.

Second, Piper knows Aphrodite is playing favorites and she doesn't care. Well, no she actually encourages it. She also knows that Aphrodite manipulated Reyna and the way she acted towards Jason but she doesn't tell the later this even if it was clear Jason was disturbed when he talked about Reyna's encounter with what he thought was a ghost.

Third, I'm not gonna talk about Jason. He was pretty flat to me in MoA and his main role just seemed to be to remind Piper how beautiful and smart and dangerous she was. He didn't seem to stand as his own individual, at least not when he was around her and that was most of the time. However, until we get his PoV in MoA and I get to read what in the world he was thinking for ditching Reyna that way I'll keep myself from judging.
