I think the basic outline of the book will be this:

Attack on the Argo II

Some random god interfering with one specific demigods

Character backstories!

Statue gets to New York and Octavian (hopefully) dies

The seven get to Greece

The gods are still beating each other up and the ones that aren't come to Greece

Giants die!

Gaea arises, briefly, and isn't able to take full form, and someone comes in like a boss and helps the heroes defeat her. One of the seven dies.

Cliffhanger-ish semi-heartwarming ending.
