Previously on Shadowhunters.

My prayer would die.

Alec Lightwood, you are now the new head
of the New York Institute.

Shadowhunters have been mutilated and
killed. It's not just a lone wolf, it's

multiple downworlders. This could be the
start of an uprising.

Don't you think this means anything?

Kaylee did this.

She had everything.

Werewolf claws, vampire fangs. She used
it to make it look like a downworld

uprising. The question is why.

I had no idea I was in the company of a
virtuoso.

Yeah, right.

Seriously, extraordinary.

I mean, I wish I could play like that.

Where did you learn? Who taught you?

Valentine.

If you can believe that.

Huh.

I guess even an evil mastermind can
appreciate fine music.

Yeah.

Maybe a little too much.

Whenever I would make a mistake, he'd
break the offending finger.

Then a rod's in my hand and have me
start again.

I'm surprised you still play.

Only when the moon strikes.

Is that why you're up so early?

Or did you never go to sleep?

I just got back from the hunter's moon.

I'm guessing you weren't there for a
pint, were you?

It's that bartender, isn't it?

The beautiful one.

Nothing serious.

I thought you had a thing for Clary.

Clary? Why would you say that?

Well, I mean, you know, now that she's
not your sister, and she's beautiful and

fiery and... What is holding you back?

Well, she has a boyfriend.

She's moved on.

I've moved on.

It's ancient history.

Sorry to interrupt.

Alec is about to make an announcement.

We've lost seven of our own.

But we can't allow a single radical
celia to define the entire downworld any

more than we can allow Valentine to
define all Shadowhunters. So to restore

unity with our allies...

I will be hosting regular cabinet
meetings here with the downward leaders

York. These meetings will promote... For
unity, but do they have to bring them

here? What do you expect?

He's dating a warlock.

Still can't believe Alec Lightwood is in
charge.

Just wait.

In a week, it'll be someone else.

Hey, show some respect.

Please, let's make the downworlders feel
welcome.

Look at you.

In charge for a week, you're already
shaking things up.

I think this cabinet thing's a good
idea.

Yeah, I'm not sure everyone agrees.

All the more reason to do it. How can I
help?

Actually, I need you and Jason for a
mission.

Going to the Sealy Court.

Where is that?

The nearest entrance is in Central Park,
but it's in another realm. We're at the

Sealy Queen List.

I requested an audience with her to
discuss Kaylee's crimes.

However, she said she'll only meet with
Valentine's experiments.

Wow.

Charming nickname.

So you think the Sealy Queen is
responsible for Kaylee's attack?

That's what I want you to find out. That
would make sense.

Those murders weren't exactly Kaylee's
style.

How did you know Kaylee?

Book club.

You read?

Yeah. Why does everyone find that so
hard to believe? Look, focus.

We need to find out if she's complicit.
The entire faction could be turning

against us. That shouldn't be too hard,
right? The Leafs can't lie.

Technically, yes. But after hundreds of
years of practice, they can expertly

manipulate the truth.

And the Queen's the master.

She's very dangerous. The entire realm
is.

More than one Shadowhunter hasn't made
it back.

What could go wrong?

But we're Valentine's Experiments,
right?

Don't mess with us.

You're the only one who hasn't agreed to
join the cabinet.

Why should I? Well, you're the most
respected pack leader in New York.

And as a former Shadow Hunter, you
understand what's at stake for both

Yeah.

That's exactly why I can see this for
what it is. An empty gesture.

Look, after all the down world has been
through, Alec, we need change.

Real change.

Couldn't agree more.

Then prove it.

Destroy the Soul Sword.

We know that the Clave will never
destroy a mortal instrument.

Then Valentine needs to die.

You're right.

I promise I will do everything I can to
push for Valentine's execution with the

cliff. But this isn't just about
Valentine.

It's about improving Shadow World
relations, and that's what this cabinet

do.

But not without you.

Just be prepared, because Chase is not
going to be happy right now.

When is he ever happy to see me? That's
true, but...

What is he doing here? Hello to you.

I'm joining the mission.

No, you're not.

You weren't invited.

I already told him that. But then I
pointed out that you can never have too

backup. And you've seen my fighting
skills firsthand.

There will be no fighting.

If you hurt anyone in the Queen's realm,
she has every right to hurt you. This

is a sensitive political mission.

And it takes a certain charm.

Well, I'll have you know, I was voted
vice president in eighth grade, and you

not win an election without charm.

So... Simon, this is a middle school.

This is life or death.

Have you been to middle school?

Look, Seelies have the beauty of angels
and the viciousness of demons. Those

opposing qualities makes them
unpredictable.

A vampire or a werewolf, they prefer to
attack you head on. But Seelies, they

want to trick you into your own self
-destruction.

That's a little dramatic, don't you
think? I mean, aren't Seelies like

hippies who eat berries and dance?

I thought the same about Kaylee. And who
saved Clary from her?

Chase, you're not going to get him to
change his mind.

We have to go. Where's the entrance?

There.

I feel like quartered in a creek.

Not in it.

Through it.

I have a chance to turn back.

Wherever you go, I go, Fred.

After you, Mr. Vice President.

It's just important that this meeting
tonight go smoothly.

It will.

I'll be by your side the whole time.

Rather you not.

Have I done something wrong?

No, not at all. I don't want to be
accused of any kind of warlock

I see.

Perhaps another warlock should go
instead.

No, I need you there, Magnus, but as a
warlock representative, not as my

boyfriend.

Is that okay?

Of course.

It's best that we keep our personal and
professional lives separate.

Thank you.

Mom, what are you doing here?

I wanted to congratulate you on the
promotion.

I'm so pleased to see the Lightwoods
back in command.

I always knew this was your destiny.

When you were little, I'd find you in
here sitting behind your father's desk

writing out your own memos and crayons.

Well, here you are.

Your father and I couldn't be prouder.

Speaking of dad, what's the latest?

Are you leaving him?

It's complicated, Alec.

It's not.

He cheated on you.

And it's over between us.

But we can't let our marital problems
undermine our political careers. The

thing we want is to tarnish the
Lightwood name.

It's been to a lot worse.

Look, I haven't told Izzy yet, but you
know how fast gossip spreads.

She shouldn't hear about it secondhand.

You know, for a dangerous mission, the
Sealy Court's pretty romantic.

It's like being dropped inside a fairy
tale.

Which makes sense. Fairies do live here.

Is that blood?

Simon, get away from the tree.

Get away from the tree.

What the hell are you doing?

Saving you, as usual.

From a tree? That is called a kill tree.
It would have wrapped its vines around

you and torn you limb from limb.

Jason, what the hell are you talking
about?

That tree almost tore Simon's pretty
face off. You think I'm pretty?

Look, in the theme realm, it's not just
creatures that are deadly. It's

everything. If you want to survive,
don't touch, eat, or smell anything, no

matter how small.

Blowing off some steam.

My mom's in town.

Is that really such a bad thing?

She doesn't know about the infant.

I don't know how she'll react.

You know, it's possible that she might
understand.

You don't know my mom.

She expects nothing less than
perfection.

Always.

Sometimes I wonder if I could ever live
up to it.

You know, maybe that's the attitude that
got you hooked in the first place.

I don't want to disappoint her.

You see, it's... It's okay to struggle.

Life is a struggle.

The point is that you are in recovery
and you're succeeding.

You look quite well, I might add.

I'm not so sure.

I hear you want Valentine dead.

I can get you in and out of his cell,
undetected, tonight.

Who is this?

My anonymity is for your protection, as
well as mine.

If you have access to Valentine, why not
kill him yourself?

I'm no match against Valentine.

But as his former parapetai, you are.

Luke?

Ollie. What are you doing here?

I needed your help with something for
work.

What is this place?

A drug den?

It's a Chinese restaurant.

Looks like a drug den.

Ollie, is this an emergency?

Not exactly.

I'm having trouble with some of my
paperwork.

Look, I can't help you tonight. I'm
busy.

Busy eating alone?

I have a date. A date?

Yeah. Fantastic. Good for you. Are you
taking her here?

Uh, no. Not anymore.

She's allergic to MSG.

Look, first thing tomorrow, I'll help
you. I gotta go, okay?

Use protection.

And I don't mean your gun.

Don't let it blind you.

Let's go.

Welcome.

Chase, Mr. Lay, our weapons.

Yeah.

You'll get them back when you leave the
court.

Your Majesty.

What a rare honor.

Wait, that's the Queen?

Why is the vampire here?

He was not invited.

He's with me.

My lady, Simon has proven himself a
worthy warrior and a loyal friend.

We insist that he be here with us.

Anything you have to say to Ives, you
can say to him.

Very well.

The vampire can stay.

You're as generous as you are lovely.

Set next to place at the table for our
third guest.

This is going to be fun.

I must say, when I received your
invitation, I was skeptical.

I still am, though your sister's
presence is always heartening.

As is yours, Melior.

Well, tonight, I hope to erase that
skepticism.

Raphael. I wasn't sure I'd see you here.

Alec is the new head of the Institute,
and he wanted me here to make the

Downworlders feel welcome.

Seems like such a waste of my skill. I
disagree.

I feel very welcome.

I'm glad you're here.

Me too.

Lovely to see you, Mr. Lightwood. And
you, Mr. Bain. Thank you for taking the

time. I wouldn't miss it. I have
tremendous respect for the new head of

Institute.

You won't regret this?

I hope not.

Lucien, I just wanted to say I'm so
sorry about Jocelyn. I feel terrible

couldn't be at her right of morning. I
couldn't either.

The clay of the band all downrolled us
from attending.

It's nice to see you, Rose.

You look great.

How's Max?

Alive, thanks to us.

And more eager to train than ever.

That's putting it lightly.

Little devil judo flipped me to the
floor.

And you are?

Sebastian Valak.

I'm working security tonight at the
cabinet meeting.

Sebastian's the chancellor from the
London Institute.

He's been helping me tutor Max.

And how do you know Isabel?

Rafael is the leader of the Brooklyn
clan.

Our paths cross occasionally.

For work.

Speaking of work, I should probably join
the group.

It's nice to meet you, Sebastian.

Pleasure.

I thought you said she was ancient.

She hasn't even hit puberty.

She is ancient.

She uses silly magic to manipulate her
age.

Genius. She tries to seem all innocent
and cute, but really, she's just...

That's very kind, but we really should
discuss business.

Business is boring.

That's why I sent a proxy to your
downworld cabinet meeting.

I'd like to know more about Valentine's
children.

Child. Actually, I'm the only one.

Are you sure?

I'm not Valentine's son.

Yet, the same blood runs through both
your veins.

The blood of the angel.

Please, show me what it can do.

Don't be shy.

We're still learning how it works.

Are you?

And you, vampire.

Are you still learning to walk in the
sun?

Wow, word travels fast down here.

It does.

I hear whispers from the birds, bees,
and the bugs.

They're all in my service.

So was Kaylee.

Were you surprised to hear one of your
knights was killing Shadowhunters?

Were you?

Kaylee was your lover.

Book club, huh?

I was surprised.

Kaylee didn't seem capable of such
brutality.

Precisely why she made an effective
killer.

The sweet of the honey, the deadly of
the trap.

Did Kaylee kill on her own, or was she
working with the Monel?

Another night helped, but I took care of
him.

By took care of, you mean... Dead, dead,
dead.

I'd like a moment alone with the
Daylighter.

Alone? Diamond.

My lady, perhaps you could discuss here.

We prefer not to be separated.

Don't worry.

I'll bring him back with all his limbs
attached.

Okay.

It's okay, Clary. He'll be fine.

So what does this Downworld cabinet even
mean? It means creating total

transparency about all Shadowhunter
decisions that involve the Downworld.

The goal is to have weekly meetings here
to discuss any updates, questions,

concerns.

Well, I applaud Mr. Lightwood for his
progressive thinking.

Because you're totally unbiased.

Alec, you are not the first to attend
something like this.

But it never works out because the Clave
is not willing to compromise.

But I am.

In time, we will be able to reason with
the Clave.

I'm sure of it. And what about
Valentine?

Can this cabinet appeal for his
execution?

If this is going to work, we can't start
with the impossible.

Well, that's kind of hard to believe,
considering the man that mastered our

people is sitting in a cell beneath our
feet. Look, I know you're upset, but we

have to be diplomatic about this.
Diplomacy gets us nowhere.

Nothing has changed in 20 years. The
werewolves aren't the only ones with

vendetta. Everyone has a reason to want
Valentine dead. I more than anyone.

Then why is that?

You said total transparency.

You remember Azazel?

Before we sent him back to hell, he used
demonic magic to put Valentine's mind

in my body.

So Valentine was walking freely, wearing
your face?

Yes, but not for long.

He's now back in his cell for good. This
is what I'm talking about.

The Clave has to know about this.

If Valentine was able to escape, they
have to execute him. The Clave already

knows.

Won't change their minds.

What other options do we have?

I need to talk to my pack.

Excuse me while I make a move.

Let's take a recess.

So, have you reconsidered my offer?

I'm in.

I've never met anyone like you.

And I've been alive for a very, very
long time.

So you're not mad that I'm here?

On the contrary.

I was hoping your friends would invite
you along tonight.

The daylight or a rock star.

Certainly is a niche.

I've mentored some of the greatest
ceiling musicians.

Ever heard of Sia?

Or Bjork?

Huh. I can help you, too.

You can visit my court any time.

Play your music as my nymphs tend to
your every need.

Why would you do that for me?

Because I want to be friends.

Allies. I feel darker times are coming,
Simon.

And my feelings are rarely wrong.

Oh, can I call you Simon?

Uh, yeah, yeah. Go for it.

You and I may need each other, Simon.

We cannot trust the Shadowhunters.

You mean the Circle.

You're still so young.

Shadowhunters are all alike.

Their mortality makes them fickle.

Selfish, weak.

In the end, they always choose their own
kind.

And so must we.

I can't speak for all Shadowhunters, but
I know Clary is nothing like that. She

would never turn on me.

This is about more than Clary.

This is about the fate of the Downworld.

There's a reason why my people have
survived longer than any other creature

this Earth.

We know when to choose the winning side.

Well, I'm sorry.

You've got the wrong guy.

No, I don't.

I want to be friends, Simon.

And I'm willing to wait.

I'm a very patient woman.

Well, I mean, if we look at it, it's all
right.

I don't like that guy.

Who? Jace.

Oh, Jace.

All the charlatans look the same to me.

Except Isabel, of course.

You still care for her, don't you?

So what are your intentions with Isabel?

I'm sorry, are you serious?

When it comes to her, always.

My only intention is to be her friend.

I don't believe you.

I see the way you look at her.

The way you follow at a distance.

Like a predator.

That is rich.

Coming from the guy who used to feed on
her.

See, I always knew she was going to a
vampire for venom, but it doesn't take a

genius to see that you are still
addicted to her. I care about her.

Oh, you care about her. Okay.

If that is true, then you need to stay
the hell away from her.

You are a reminder of the darkest
moments of our life.

A constant temptation.

How much time will I have once I'm down
there? Three minutes.

Then the cameras turn back on and the
guard returns.

I'm going to need five, not three.
Turning off the camera is too

The feeds need to be looped. Those are
my conditions when I walk.

Your five minutes start now.

Lucien?

Where are you going?

I just need you to clear my head.

I know you have your doubts, but I'm so
glad you've decided to go ahead with it

all.

For Clary, you pack.

And Jocelyn.

What are you talking about?

The Downwell cabinet.

Alec would hate that I'm saying anything
about it. He doesn't want me involved.

But it is a wonderful idea. And I just
hope you won't hold that last name

against him.

I won't now, if that's all I'm...
Listen.

Lately, I have been trying to reconnect
with the people I've hurt.

And you are one of those people.

We were good friends back in Idris. And
then I turned against you like everyone

else.

And I am so sorry.

Maris, I can't do this right now.

We should never have let Simon come.

He didn't exactly give us a choice.

And you know, you can't really blame
him.

If I were him, I'd never leave your side
either.

Is everything okay? Great! We need to go
right now.

Your Majesty, with your permission, we
should get going. But you've only just

arrived.

It's futile to struggle.

Vice is Veritas, enchanted vines that
only obey me.

What are you doing? Let them go!

But they killed several of my kind.

What? We didn't kill anyone.

She can't lie, Your Majesty. You must be
mistaken. I told you. The birds, bees,

bugs, they're all in my service.

It's an act with a kill trick.

What, that bug I kill?

But that can't seriously mean that...
Their deaths require justice.

Unless, of course, you'd rather play a
game. What kind of game sounds better?

It's simple, really.

All I ask is a kiss.

You want one of us to kiss you? The game
isn't for me.

It's for you, Clary.

The kiss that will set them free is the
kiss you most desire.

I suggest you move quickly.

Once the vines reach their necks, the
boys will be dead, dead, dead.

Jason's wrong. This is exactly like
middle school.

Larry, just kick me so we can go home.

Why are the vines still here? Why do you
think?

I did what you asked.

You can fool yourself, but not the Vita
Spiritus.

This means nothing.

We'll see you coming.

Will we ever let it go?

I told you, Daylighter.

They always choose their own kind.

Why the hell would you do that?

It's our lives, not some game.

Best to be completely honest, don't you
think?

There's nothing honest about that.

Your Highness, are we free to go?

Oh, yes.

It seems one of you already has.

How's the meeting going?

Having its ups and downs.

Are you okay?

Isabel, you need to know something.

Robert had an affair.

So he finally told you.

I overheard one of his phone
conversations.

I wanted to tell you badly, but I
figured it wasn't my secret to tell.

I didn't even tell Alec.

Oh, Isabel, you poor thing.

Leave him.

Max is with us now.

Mom, you deserve to be happy.

So do you.

Despite this, despite everything, I hope
you don't give up on love.

I hope you fight for it, like your
brother.

I'm so relieved this is all out.

From now on, no more secrets.

After that demon attack in the
Institute, the pain in my shoulder was

Healing runes weren't enough.

I wasn't able to fight the thing.

So I started using Yunfen.

By the angel.

I didn't do it for long, just long
enough to know I had to stop.

With some help, I got through
withdrawal, and I'm in recovery now.

I'm gonna be okay.

I am so sorry.

This is all my fault.

No, Mama, it's mine.

I've been so hard on you.

Put so much pressure. Of course you
needed a release.

Sometimes our angelic duty seems to...

Overshadow everything else.

We forget we're human, too.

Let me guess.

You want to know where the cup is.

I don't give a damn about the cup.

You took my sister, and you killed
Jocelyn.

I understand your concerns.

When Luke gets back, we can discuss a
neutral location for meetings.

I'd actually do that in a moment.

Excuse me.

What's going on? I saw Lucy and Gray
Mark heading to the annex a few minutes

ago.

Now, I know that the secondary door to
the club sells through there, so I

checked the security feeds.

Luke disappears between the cameras.

Some of them with the footage?

You're gonna kill me like the feral
animal that you are?

No, I'm gonna kill you like a man.

This is our little fight.

Why would you try and kill Valentine?

Well, if he escaped once, he can do it
again.

If your plan failed, it would have
endangered everyone in this institute.

The security locks have been wiped
clean.

There's no data on whose clearance was
used to unlock the annex door.

You really have no idea who this mystery
accomplice was?

No. They used a burner phone, a voice
modulator.

No discernible speech pattern? No. I
can't even give you a gender.

But they had to be inside the institute
in order to loot the cameras, right?

Everyone in this institute has been
affected by Valentine.

It could be anyone.

We have nothing.

Well, you got me.

Clay would love to put me behind bars.

And they'd be right to.

What you did tonight was reckless.

Innocent personnel could have been hurt.

You deserve to be in prison.

Let's... consider this your get -out -of
-jail -free card.

Why is that?

Because I'm trying to prove to the
Downwell that we don't see them as an

And arresting you would prove the
opposite.

What do we do about them all?

We track them down.

One thing's for sure.

Valentine's not safe here.

Raphael. The meeting's over. I have to
go talk to my client. I just need to say

something first.

We've been through a lot together,
haven't we?

And we keep coming back to each other
because of this amazing connection we

have.

I want to fight for it.

I can't, Isabel.

Why not?

If this is about sex, I don't care about
that. I care about you.

It's not about that.

Our whole relationship was built on our
addiction.

What if that's what's wrong is together.

What if it isn't?

We owe it to ourselves to find out.

Do you remember the shame you felt when
your brother found us together?

My fangs in your arm.

All it takes is one moment of weakness
and we'll be back there.

Back to you, Isabel.

I want to be with you!

Hey!

We need to talk about this. Please, I...

I'm

sorry.

The Seelie Queen didn't help Haley. It
was actually Seelie Knight.

It's now dead.

The queen's hands are technically clean
in this one.

I think there's more to it.

What makes you say that?

I don't know.

Called a gut feeling.

Okay.

Well, I'll have the clave keep a closer
eye on this, at least.

Right.

Are you all right?

You seem distracted.

No, I'm, uh, I'm fine.

Clary. Hey.

Look, we should talk about what just
happened.

I just had the worst.

Latte for the lady.

What are you looking at?

There.

In the shadow.

Am I crazy, Sam? Or is that... A wolf?

Look at all this mess you've made.

Keep quiet.

Or I'll have to punish you again.
