[HUNTER'S MOON]

[Simon enters the bar. His phone is ringing when he sits down at the bar. It's Clary. He declines the call.]

SIMON: [to the bartender] Can I have a pint of O-neg, please? To go.

BARTENDER: You got it.

[A guy approaches him and leans on the bar, it's another vamp, Quinn.]

QUINN: It's on me, Daylighter.

SIMON: Quinn. Thanks, but it's all good. I got it.

QUINN: Please.

SIMON: Okay.

QUINN: For a Daylighter, you're looking a little pale. You okay?

SIMON: I've had better days.

QUINN: How's that? You're living the life we all wanna live.

SIMON: You don't wanna be in my shoes. Trust me. Day or night, your heart can still get... shattered.

MATT: You were total heart broken.

QUINN: [to the bartender] Hey, make it two plasmas.

SIMON: Plasma?

QUINN: The hard stuff.

[The girl puts down two shot glasses and pours straight from the blood bag.]

BARTENDER: Your lucky night. Just enough for two.

[Quinn picks up a glass and holds it up.]

QUINN: Don't worry. This will make you forget your sorrow.

[Simon picks up the other glass and clinks it with Quinn's.]

SIMON: L'chaim.

[They take the shots and Simon's pupils widen.]

SIMON: Whoa. This is, this is strong. Really strong. [to bartender] Do you have any more of this?

BARTENDER: Sorry.

QUINN: I know a place.

SIMON: I should have never gone there, biggest mistake of my life.

BONNIE: What happened?

ISABELLE: Heidi happened.

[ALLEY]

[Quinn opens a door and lets Simon in first.]

[CLUB]

[There is sensual music playing. There are vampires feeding on people everywhere.]

ELENA: He brought you to a bleeder den.

SIMON: What is this place?

QUINN: It's a bleeder den.

SIMON: So these people are just letting themselves be-

QUINN: Bitten.

SIMON: There are mundanes that actually know that vampires exist?

QUINN: A few. They crave vampire venom more than we crave blood.

SIMON: Whoa. But isn't this all against the Accords?

QUINN: Uh, it's kind of a gray area. Everyone's having fun and no one is getting hurt.

SIMON: Hmm.

[A blonde girl sees Simon from across the room. She smiles at him. Then she approaches Simon and Quinn.]

QUINN: Heidi, this is Simon.

[Heidi bites her lip. There's blood on it.]

HEIDI: Thirsty?

SIMON: I don't know. I... Last time I tried to feed on a human, I couldn't stop. I almost killed-

HEIDI: It's okay. It's okay. [getting closer and holding out her wrist] Just a little taste.

[Quinn holds up Heidi's arm to Simon's mouth.]

SIMON: Just a little...

[Simon bites in Heidi's arm. She moans.]

[TITLE SCREEN]

[SEBASTIAN'S APARTMENT]

[Sebastian is ironing clothes. He's staring into the distance and runs the iron on his hand, burning it.]

[MAGNUS' APARTMENT, BEDROOM]

[Alec wakes up in Magnus' bed. He sits up when he sees Magnus isn't lying next to him.]

ALEC: Magnus?

[At the dinner table, Magnus is staring at his teacup. He looks in the mirror. A voice of his young self echoes through his head.]

YOUNG MAGNUS: Mama?

Alec holds Magnus' hand to comfort him.

[FLASHBACK]

YOUNG MAGNUS: Mama?

[Young Magnus finds his mother in bed. He pulls away the sheets and sees a dagger stabbed into his mother's body. He screams.]

Some people flinched at the scene.

[PRESENT]

[Alec's voice brings Magnus back.]

ALEC: There you are.

[Magnus turns around to Alec.]

MAGNUS: Good morning.

ALEC: I'd say the same, but it looks like you haven't slept.

MAGNUS: Should I be insulted by that?

ALEC: No. I love that face. But this is, like, the fourth morning in a row that I've woken up to an empty bed. Is there something bothering you?

MAGNUS: Nothing is bothering me. I've even gotten used to your adorable little snores.

ALEC: Hey. I don't snore. [Magnus imitates Alec's snoring.]

They laughed at this.

ALEC: Look... I know you well enough to know something's going on.

MAGNUS: Alexander... I'm fine. [He kisses Alec.] So, what about you? [walking to the living room] Have you decided what you're gonna report to the Clave?

ALEC: I'm torn. If I don't tell the Clave about Luke's attempt on Valentine's life, I'd be in violation. And if they find out, I could be deruned and just...

[Alec's voice fades away. Magnus turns to Alec.]

MAGNUS: Whatever you decide, I'll stand by you.

ALEC: Are you sure you're okay?

MAGNUS: Positive.

[THE INSTITUTE]

[Izzie and Jace are walking to the Ops Center.]

ISABELLE: That manipulative little wench. I hate the Seelie Queen.

CAROLINE: I agree.

JACE: Look, I'm not a huge fan of her either. But like her or not, Seelie magic doesn't lie. What happened at the Seelie Court, it was real. You know, I felt it, and I know Clary did, too.

[Izzy stops Jace.]

ISABELLE: Whoa, slow down.

JACE: Izzy, I can't just erase my feelings.

ISABELLE: Do Clary and Simon a favor. Don't go there, Jace.

[Izzy and Jace go to the meeting table where Alec, Rose, Theo and Sebastian are.]

ALEC: I have requested that we move Valentine to the Gard in Idris. The Clave has approved the transfer.

JACE: What, you told them about the assassination attempt?

ALEC: No. I explained to them that moving Valentine out of the city is the best way to restore relations with the Downworld. I left Luke out of it.

ELIJAH: It was the most appropriate decision to make.

SEBASTIAN: It is the right decision.

ALEC: But we have not given up finding who orchestrated the hit on Valentine.

SEBASTIAN: I actually have a few leads on that. I'll, um, I'll get a report in by the end of the day.

ALEC: Great. [Sebastian leaves and Theo smiles at him before he leaves.] Izzy, you'll be leading the transfer mission. Jace, Theo and Rose you will assist.

ROSE: (in mind) You like him.

THEO: (in mind) Who?

ROSE: (in mind) Sebastian. I see the way you look at him.

THEO: (in mind) Maybe. His eyes show pain, agony and craving for love. And his face speaks a different story. He is a mystery and I want to solve it.

JONATHAN: Never thought you were so close observer.

ACHATIUS: He always has a thing for mysteries.

ROSE: (in mind) Well, then, good luck in solving it.

ISABELLE: We need to remove Valentine's Circle rune. The new wards in Idris won't let him pass with it on. Jace, Rose, do you want the honors?

ROSE: Thought you'd never ask.

ISABELLE: Okay.

[Izzy, Rose and Theo leave.]

ALEC: [to Jace] Tell me that I'm making the right call, 'cause between you and me, I'm just not sure I'm good at this.

JACE: What are you talking about? Look, you were born for this job. Hey, think of it like archery, okay? Just, just trust yourself and don't hesitate, and beyond that, just cross your fingers.

[They both smile and Jace walks away.]

[THE INSTITUTE, CLARY'S BEDROOM]

[Clary sits down on her bed, phone in hand, and leaves a voicemail for Simon.]

CLARY: Simon, please call me back. I need to talk to you.

[There's a knock on the door. Clary hangs up.]

CLARY: Come in.

[Clary stands up. Izzy and Rose enter.]

ISABELLE: We're transferring Valentine to Idris tonight. I assume you wanna part of the mission.

CLARY: Yeah, actually, I don't. I have to go sort all this out with Simon in person.

[Izzy and Rose take Clary's hands and they sit down on the bed together.]

ROSE: I know it's none of my business, but after what you guys just went through, maybe you should give Simon some time.

KEELIN: Agreed. He needed space.

CLARY: No. No, I can't let him think that what happened in the Seelie Court is how I really feel.

ROSE: Clary, Seelie magic might trick you, but it's always true.

ISABELLE: I know it's confusing, but you can have feelings for two people at the same time. It doesn't make you a bad person.

[SIMON'S CONTAINER]

[Simon is laying in bed. There are blood stains on the edges of his mouth and on his shirt. There's pounding on the door. Cut to outside, it is Clary.]

KOL: You slept in your blood stained clothes.

CLARY: Simon, it's me.

[Inside, Simon sits up, and feels his stomach.]

CLARY: If you're not gonna answer my phone calls, you can at least talk to me.

[Simon moves to the door with his vamp speed. When he slides open the door, his face and shirt are clean. He goes back in and Clary follows, closing the door behind her.]

CLARY: [tearing up] I am so sorry. I want you to know that what happened at the Seelie court, it didn't mean anything.

SIMON: You don't need to do this.

CLARY: Your life was at risk. I had to kiss Jace. I had no choice.

SIMON: I get it, Clary. I was there. This isn't about you kissing him. The Seelie Queen made you reveal who you desired most, and it wasn't me. It was Jace.

CLARY: It's a trick. That's all it was.

REBEKAH: You were just lying to yourself.

CLARY: I know.

SIMON: Just be honest with me.

CLARY: I am. You heard Jace. The Seelies, they thrive on getting inside your head.

SIMON: Clary, stop. Don't make this harder than it already is 'cause you don't wanna hurt my feelings.

CLARY: What do you want me to do, Simon? Just tell me.

[Simon turns to Clary.]

SIMON: Look me in the eye, and tell me you don't have any feelings for him.

[Clary is silent. Simon shakes his head.]

CLARY: [running up to him] Simon, Simon. Wait, please. Look at me. I love you.

SIMON: Don't... don't do that.

CLARY: Why?

SIMON: [tears in his eyes] Because you don't mean it the way I mean it. You never have. Ever since we were kids, I have been in love with you every minute of every day. You're the first person I thought of when I woke up. You always have been. Now, if the Seelie Queen had asked me that question? Kiss the one I most desired? No one would have even come close. There's something between you and Jace, and you can't deny it.

They all felt sad for Simon.

CLARY: I am sorry Simon, I broke your heart. I should have been clear for my feelings from start.

SIMON: There is nothing forgive, Clary, we are past that.

Clary smiled.

CLARY: I don't know. Maybe... Maybe deep down there is. [taking his hands] But Simon... it's nothing like you and me. It's nothing like it.

SIMON: But it's enough. Enough for me to know that... kissing you... trying to be more than friends... [letting go of Clary's hands] it was a mistake.

[THE INSTITUTE, VALENTINE'S CELL]

[There are a bunch of guards present. Valentine is in a chair, locked in with straps.]

JACE: Is that tight enough? [tightening the straps] That's better.

[Jace and Rose were standing there. He pulls out a weapon to derune Valentine of the Circle rune.]

VALENTINE: Go ahead, Jace. It's not gonna stop me. It's not some rune that makes us who we are. It's our blood. And yours, my boy... is exceptional.

DAVINA: Again with all the manipulation shit.

JACE: That's 'cause you experimented on me. On my mother. Why? Why her?

VALENTINE: Sweet Céline. She wanted a child so desperately. When she and Stephen learned that she was pregnant again, with you, she was terrified that she was gonna lose the baby. So she came to me, asking for help.

ROSE: And I'm sure you were so happy to oblige.

VALENTINE: The injections I gave Jace's mother, laced with Ithuriel's pure angel blood, made Jace strong. And after her tragic death, after I pulled you from her womb, barely alive, I raised you to use that blood. I taught you-

JACE: You taught me not to feel. You taught me that to love is to destroy, and to be loved is to be the one destroyed.

VALENTINE: And you've proven how right I've been all along. Look at you. Your love for Clary, it will be your downfall.

JACE: Don't you dare bring her into this.

VALENTINE: She is as much a part of this as you are.

[Jace looks at one of the guards. Valentine's head gets pulled back with another strap. Rose starts lasering the Circle rune.]

ROSE: Oh, I loved this moment.

[JADE WOLF, OUTSIDE]

[Simon is standing by some containers, his bloody shirt in his hands. There is a flashback of him at the club with Heidi. In the present, Simon takes one more look at the shirt and then throws it in the garbage. A car stops nearby. Luke steps out of the vehicle.]

LUKE: Simon! Hold up.

[Luke approaches Simon.]

SIMON: Hey, Luke.

LUKE: Are you hungover?

SIMON: Uh... Kind of, actually. Yeah.

LUKE: Plasma? [Simon nods.] Yeah. You gotta be careful, Simon.

SIMON: I know.

LUKE: That stuff is strong.

SIMON: I know. It was just a one-time thing. I went out with a couple of friends and got a little carried away.

LUKE: It's understandable. Clary told me what happened. Listen, I just want you to know, whatever's going on between you two, I'm always here for you. You're the closest thing to a son that I got. Whether you like it or not.

Simon smiled.

SIMON: [chuckles] So I'm not grounded?

LUKE: I should have grounded you.

LUKE: Don't push your luck.

SIMON: [Simon laughs, making his hangover play up] Oh. Feels like Metallica's rehearsing in my head.

LUKE: Nothing a little sleep can't fix. [Simon is about to walk away.] Hey, one more thing.

SIMON: Yeah?

LUKE: You've been hanging out with the vamps, right? You hear of any of them feeding on a mundane in Queens last night?

DAMON: And you lie.

SIMON: What? No, um, not at all. Why?

LUKE: A girl was found dead, bite marks. Whoever did it was one hungry vampire. Her body was completely drained of blood.

STEFAN: It was Heidi, wasn't it?

THEO: Two points to you, mate.

SIMON: Wow. Uh, no. No, I haven't heard anything, but if I do, of course I'll tell you.

[Luke's phone starts ringing.]

LUKE: [to Simon] Get some rest. [picks up the phone] What do you got, Detective?

[Cut to Ollie in her car, she's swiping through pictures of the crime scene.]

OLLIE: Tox screen came back clean. Strange thing is, the coroner said she bled out through those track marks.

[Cut to Luke. Simon overhears the conversation using his vampire hearing.]

LUKE: Yeah. That is strange.

OLLIE: [cut] Yeah. I did get prints off her bracelet.

LUKE: [cut] Any hits?

OLLIE: You bet. Eighteen-year-old male from Brooklyn. Name's Simon Lewis.

REBEKAH: You were in a big mess.

[When Luke turns around to where Simon was just standing, he is gone.]

OLLIE: Luke? Hello? Did I lose you? I swear, I hate this phone. Luke?

LUKE: Yeah, I'm here.

[THE INSTITUTE, ALEC'S OFFICE]

[Izzy and Theo knock on the open door and enter. Alec is sitting at the desk.]

THEO: Valentine's Circle rune has been removed.

ISABELLE: And I've assembled my team.

ALEC: Good. I'll feel a lot better when he's out of the Institute.

ISABELLE: Have you secured Magnus for the transfer?

[Alec stands up and goes to Izzy and Theo. They make their way to the Ops Center.]

ALEC: I think we should consider using a different warlock. Catarina Loss lives in, um-

ISABELLE: We're talking about Portaling the Clave's most wanted into Idris. There's not many warlocks with that clearance. Besides, I want the best. And that's Magnus.

ALEC: Look, Magnus isn't exactly in a great place right now. He hasn't been sleeping.

THEO: What's wrong?

ALEC: I don't know. He says nothing's wrong, but I can tell he's not all right.

[They stop walking.]

ISABELLE: You know, some people find it hard to ask for help. If Magnus is hurting, don't let him push you away.

ALEC: Thank you for the advice, but I know Magnus. He needs his space. We can use a different warlock.

THEO: Nobody understands Cat Eyes better than you, Alec.

SEBASTIAN: [approaching them] There you are.

ALEC: Any update on the mole?

SEBASTIAN: Yeah. Whoever it was is a clever one. Left absolutely no trace. But, um, I've been auditing personnel files. I've found a few Shadowhunters who have a personal stake in wanting Valentine dead. Family members killed, relatives lost to the Circle. All with enough access and clearance to pull it off.

ELIJAH: And how smartly, you made sure that all the suspicion falls on someone else than you.

JONATHAN: Well, I take it as a compliment.

ALEC: Well, send me the list when you're done with it.

ISABELLE: [Izzy's eye falls on a Shadowhunter] By the Angel!

[Izzy approaches the woman.]

ALEC: Aline.

[Sebastian, Theo and Alec go down the steps, too.]

ALINE: In the flesh.

[Aline hugs Izzy.]

ALEC: It's been years.

ISABELLE: What are you doing here?

ALINE: I would've given you both the heads-up, but I didn't wanna spook my dear cousin. [stepping to Sebastian] Who disappears for half a year only to show up here. [Sebastian looks speechless. Then Aline chuckles and pulls him into a hug.] Come here, you gorgeous Englishman.

FREYA: That's the sister of the boy whose face you have.

JONATHAN: True.

SEBASTIAN: Oh, it's good to see you, Aline.

[Alec gets a message.]

ALEC: Uh, I'm sorry. Excuse me.

[Alec leaves the group.]

ALINE: We're all so worried about you. We thought you were dead.

SEBASTIAN: Yeah, um, I'm really sorry.

ALINE: Your Aunt Elodie was beside herself. Then after she found out that you were safe, she still hadn't heard from you, so she asked me to come here to make sure you're all right. Are you really a yin fen addict?

SEBASTIAN: Um...

ISABELLE: He's clean now.

SEBASTIAN: Look, I... I feel terrible. I should've called. Um... I guess I'm just ashamed, you know? I guess I'm not as perfect as everyone thought.

ALINE: Trust me, I never thought you were perfect. But something is different about you.

THEO: Well, you can tell them all he's a hero.

ISABELLE: He saved my life and helped us defeat a Greater Demon.

SEBASTIAN: Yeah, uh, look, I'll... I'll fill you in on all the glory details once I finish this report, but... How about dinner? Eight o'clock?

ALINE: Absolutely.

[SEBASTIAN'S APARTMENT]

[Sebastian opens the closet door and goes in. He shakes the tied up person sitting on the floor.]

SEBASTIAN: Get up!

[The beat up and tied up person is revealed to be the real Sebastian. The fake Sebastian pulls away the tape from real Sebastian's mouth.]

SEBASTIAN: Tell me everything there is to know about your cousin Aline.

REAL SEBASTIAN: Aline? Why?

SEBASTIAN: She is in New York. Tell me or she dies!

[JADE WOLF]

[Luke and Clary are sitting in a booth. Clary is holding Simon's bloody T-shirt.]

LUKE: I really don't know how to tell you this, so I'm just gonna say it. I think Simon killed somebody.

CLARY: [shaking her head in disbelief] He didn't do this.

CLARY: And my instincts were true.

LUKE: Simon's shirt was in that dumpster, soaked in the victim's blood. His fingerprints were on her bracelet.

CLARY: The only time he was ever fingerprinted is when he signed up to coach Little League. He would never hurt anyone. There has to be some explanation for this. I know Simon.

LUKE: The Simon you know is a vampire, Clary. A vampire with a broken heart. Demon blood, it changes a person.

CLARY: I should have never let him come to the Seelie Court with me.

LUKE: From what I gather, he wasn't really taking no for an answer. I gotta find him before anybody else does.

[Luke stands up and grabs the shirt.]

CLARY: Wait. [standing up] I'm coming with you.

LUKE: No. In his emotional state, I don't want you anywhere near him.

CLARY: He's the way he is because of me, Luke. Please, let me go with you. I need to make this right.

[FRONT OF HOTEL DUMORT]

[Simon has met up with Raphael.]

SIMON: Is Quinn here?

RAPHAEL: He stepped out. Why are you looking for Quinn?

SIMON: Nothing. It's nothing.

RAPHAEL: Doesn't seem like nothing, mi amigo.

SIMON: Raphael, I think I killed a mundane. An innocent girl. But I don't know if I did. I mean, I'm not a killer. I wouldn't hurt anyone, but... maybe I don't know myself anymore. I-

RAPHAEL: All right. Listen. Calm down. Tell me the last thing you remember.

SIMON: Right, um... Quinn bought me plasma and then took us to the bleeder den. But that's where it all gets hazy. I kind of remember a girl and... and her arm, and me biting into her, but... I completely black out. Do you think he's at the den?

RAPHAEL: No, it doesn't open until midnight.

SIMON: Why is this happening to me? I'm a good guy. I'm an organ donor. I was an organ donor. Do we still give organs as a-

KLAUS: You were clearly freaking out.

RAPHAEL: Simon, get a hold of yourself.

SIMON: So what do I do? Turn myself in?

ACHATIUS: The worst option.

RAPHAEL: No. What happens if you go hungry in prison?

SIMON: Can I... Can I stay here and lay low? Can you help me out?

RAPHAEL: [nods] Yeah, I can help you out. But I'm gonna need something in return.

ENZO: The secret of walking in sun.

SIMON: Yeah, what do you want? Anything. Anything.

RAPHAEL: Tell me how you became a Daylighter.

SIMON: I told you, I don't know.

RAPHAEL: I don't believe you. And if you can't help me, I can't help you.

[Simon turns around and runs away with his vamp speed.]

[OPS CENTER, THE INSTITUTE]

[Izzy is speaking to the team they're about to transfer Valentine with. Jace, Rose and Theo are standing next to her.]

ISABELLE: The transfer is set for 0200. Jace, Theo and Rose arm up the transport team. I want everyone carrying additional weaponry. Duncan, prepare Valentine's restraints. The rest of you, secure the perimeter. Dismissed.

[OUTSIDE OF THE INSTITUTE]

[Aline and Sebastian are taking a walk.]

ALINE: Sebastian, I have to be honest... I'm really worried about you.

SEBASTIAN: Hey, look, don't be. I'm happy. Happier than I've been in a long time.

ALINE: I just don't get it. You are the squarest, most rule-abiding guy I know. And then you suddenly vanish, without telling anyone? It just doesn't add up.

[Sebastian holds up. He puts his hand on his weapon, not drawing it yet. Aline turns to him.]

SEBASTIAN: Look, I'm not... I'm not proud of it. But if anyone should understand, it should be you.

ALINE: And why is that?

SEBASTIAN: You know that summer I came to Alicante? And you were secretly seeing that girl, the one with the dimples.

ALINE: [smiling] Carolyn.

SEBASTIAN: Yeah, you kept it such a secret. Everyone thought that you simply hadn't found the right boy.

ALINE: They still think that. Unless you blabbed.

KOL: He just blabbed.

SEBASTIAN: Look, I would never do that. I gave you my word. But it's just... You know how it feels to have everyone in the world see you one way, but actually being the exact opposite. You know, I actually like taking risks. Yeah, sure, the yin fen was a mistake, but it led me to what I believe is my destiny. Being here. Sadly, Aunt Elodie isn't very happy about it. I just got off the phone with her and she's... she's heartbroken. I'm actually, I'm a bit worried. Do you mind spending a few days with her? I'd go myself, but they really need me here and...

ALINE: Yes. Of course. I can leave tonight.

SEBASTIAN: Thank you. I mean, that is of course not until I've shown you this fabulous Indian place around the corner.

ALINE: My favorite.

SEBASTIAN: Ah, why do you think I picked it?

[SEBASTIAN'S APARTMENT]

[The real Sebastian, face beaten-up, is still in the closet, trying to get his ties loose. He manages to free his hands and a moment later, he exits the closet. Taking a jacket and some shoes, he stumbles out of the apartment.]

BONNIE: He escaped.

[ALLEY BY THE BLEEDER DEN]

[Simon goes into alley.]

SIMON: [to himself] Come on. You have to remember. What did you do?

[FLASHBACK]

[Simon and Heidi stumble out of the club. Heidi is laughing.]

HEIDI: Care for seconds?

[Simon bites in Heidi's arm multiple times.]

[PRESENT]

[A light shines on Simon from behind him.]

OLLIE: Police! Freeze! [Simon turns around] Put your hands on your head.

[Ollie is approaching Simon, light in one hand, gun in the other. Simon puts his hands up.]

OLLIE: Drop to your knees.

[Simon does so.]

SIMON: I'm sorry. I'm sorry I bit her. It was an accident.

OLLIE: You're under arrest for the murder of Heidi McKenzie. You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say can... [her voice fades]

[Ollie puts Simon in handcuffs and then puts him in the car.]

[STREETS, LUKE'S CAR]

[Luke and Clary are looking for Simon. Clary has his shirt in her hands and her eyes closed, trying to track him.]

CLARY: Vampires aren't as easy to track, but I don't think he's too far away.

LUKE: Not far away doesn't help us. I need a direction.

CLARY: Turn left. Up here. [Luke makes the turn.] So, when we do find him, what happens then? I mean, if for some reason it turns out he really did do this, he's a vampire. You can't just arrest him.

LUKE: That's why we need to find him before the police do.

CLARY: Then what?

LUKE: We're supposed to turn him over to the Clave.

CLARY: Can't we just keep this quiet? You know, like Alec did for you? If it's true, if Simon did somehow lose control and make some horrible mistake, we can't just give up on him.

LUKE: Look, whatever mess he's gotten himself into... I promise, I'm not giving up on Simon.

SIMON: Thank you.

[STREETS, OLLIE'S CAR]

OLLIE: They say the bad guy always goes back to the scene of the crime. I always thought it was a myth, but since I'd run out of leads, I thought, "Hey, why not?" So why'd you do it?

SIMON: I told you. It was an accident.

OLLIE: Right. So you just accidentally bit the woman and drained her of blood.

SIMON: I can't help myself. I guess you can call it a compulsion.

OLLIE: Odd compulsion. You know, I've seen plenty of different ways to kill people, but biting into a girl's feet? That's a new one.

SIMON: Her feet? No. That can't be right.

OLLIE: The ME says the wounds below her ankle were the most recent.

SIMON: I didn't do this.

OLLIE: Excuse me?

SIMON: Ever since I was a kid, feet have totally grossed me out. Even women's feet.

ELENA: You are anti-foot fetish.

OLLIE: You know what grosses me out? Murder.

SIMON: There's no way I could've done this. I didn't kill her.

OLLIE: Seriously? An anti-foot fetish? That's your defense? If I were you, I'd come up with something more-

[Simon breaks his handcuffs and escapes out of the car. Ollie turns around and gets out of the car as well. She looks around but Simon is gone.]

DAMON: Ah, finally, you broke out.

[SEBASTIAN'S APARTMENT]

[Sebastian and another guy enter the apartment.]

MAN: So, when I found your front door open, I was afraid someone broke into the apartment.

SEBASTIAN: Yeah, thanks for calling me.

MAN: No problem.

[When the guy has left, Sebastian immediately goes to the closet, he finds it empty.]

[STREETS]

[Cut to real Sebastian limping down the street. He is panting.]

[BLEEDER DEN]

[Simon enters the club.]

BOUNCER: Hey!

[Simon sees Quinn biting into a girl's ankle.]

FINN: It was that vampire Quinn.

SIMON: Quinn!

QUINN: [turning around] Ah, I heard you were looking for me.

[Simon looks at the bite marks in the girl's foot.]

SIMON: It was you! The girl from last night, Heidi. You killed her, didn't you?

QUINN: It was an accident. Look, accidents happen. She knew the risks. Don't worry about it.

SIMON: A woman is dead! And I'm not letting you get away with it. I'm telling everyone. Luke, the Shadowhunters!

QUINN: Yeah, I uh...

[Quinn turns around and stomps on a piece of wood. A shorter piece, much like a stake, comes off.]

JEREMY: He wanted to kill you.

QUINN: I can't let you do that.

[The vampires in the club start hissing and approach Quinn and Simon. Quinn charges for Simon. Simon throws Quinn against the liquor wall. Quinn gets up, angrier, and breaks the wood in two more pieces. Simon has a stake too.]

REBEKAH: It's gonna be hell a fight.

QUINN: Daylighter or not, I'm not gonna let you rat me out.

[They start fighting with their stakes. Outside, tires screech. It's Luke and Clary. They run up to the club and are about to enter when Raphael appears in front of them.]

LUKE: What are you doing here?

RAPHAEL: Trying to track down a murderer.

LUKE: Stay out of it.

RAPHAEL: This is vampire business. I can take care of him myself.

LUKE: I can't let you do that.

CLARY: Leave Simon alone.

RAPHAEL: I'm not talking about the Daylighter. Quinn killed the girl.

[Clary and Luke look at each other. Clary opens the club doors.]

CLARY: Let's go.

[The trio enters. Quinn and Simon are still fighting. Simon pushes the stake into Quinn's belly. Quinn pulls himself forward on the stake making him close to Simon. Just before Quinn can stake Simon, Simon breaks the wood in two and stakes Quinn with the other piece. Quinn dissolves into little pieces.]

ENZO: Congratulations mate, your first kill was a vampire.

CLARY: Simon.

[Clary, Luke, and Raphael have approached Simon. All the vampires back off. Simon drops the stake.]

SIMON: I didn't kill that girl.

CLARY: We know. [pause] Are you okay?

SIMON: No, not really.

[Clary steps forward to hug him, but Simon is already gone with his vamp speed.]

[MAGNUS' APARTMENT]

[Magnus is staring into the distance, sipping from his martini. The voice of his young self echoes through his head.]

YOUNG MAGNUS: Mama. No!

[Cut to flashback of young Magnus looking at his dead mother. A Dutch white man speaks to young Magnus, he his angry. At that moment, young Magnus' eyes become his snake eyes.]

ALEC: Magnus? [cut to present] Magnus?

MAGNUS: Well, hello.

[Magnus stands up and approaches Alec.]

MAGNUS: I was just about to make myself a drink. You want one?

ALEC: No. We're transporting Valentine to Idris.

MAGNUS: Even more reason. We can toast to Valentine's highly anticipated departure.

[Magnus pours himself a drink.]

ALEC: I love you, and I know something's wrong. Whatever it is, I'm here for you.

MAGNUS: I appreciate it. But I'm fine.

ALEC: No, you're not. I'm sorry, but I'm not gonna leave until you talk to me. Do you remember when you said, "When things get crazy, don't push me away"?

MAGNUS: [pause] When I was tortured in Valentine's body, that Agony rune, it... made me relive my worst memory. And now... I can't get it out of my head. It... Every time I close my eyes, it...

[Magnus sits down. Alec kneels down by him.]

ALEC: Hey. What is it?

MAGNUS: Remember I told you how I found my mother dead by her own hand? My stepfather found me shortly after. He screamed at me. He called me an abomination.

CAROLINE: You are not an abomination.

ALEC: What?

MAGNUS: He was right. He blamed me for her suicide. He said that she hated herself for giving birth to a monster. So I lashed out. With all the magic I had.

[Flashback to young Magnus. He throws a fireball at his stepfather. Cut to present.]

MAGNUS: [tears streaming down his face] I burned him, Alexander. Right where he stood. I murdered my stepfather.

ROSE: It wasn't your fault. Don't blame yourself for that.

ALEC: You were just a boy. You weren't in control of your powers.

MAGNUS: Yes, actually, I was. I never wanted you to see this... terrible, ugly side of me... of my past.

ALEC: Hey. [stroking Magnus' cheek] There is nothing ugly about you.

HOPE: You two are very cute together.

[Alec leans in and they hug.]

[BOTANICAL GARDEN, OUTSIDE]

[Izzy and Aline are walking to the garden, Aline with her bag in hand.]

ALINE: I wanted to say goodbye to Sebastian. I wonder where he ran off to.

ISABELLE: I'm sure he'll be back soon.

[Cut to the limping real Sebastian. He is making his way to the Institute.]

ALINE: So, when are you going to come visit Alicante?

ISABELLE: Soon. As long as you promise your mom won't drag us to the Accords Hall for another Clave assembly.

ALINE: I definitely can't promise that.

[Aline and Izzy chuckle and hug. The real Sebastian is so close he can see them. Then, a sword is pierced through him, a hand is put in front of his mouth so he can't scream. The fake Sebastian pulls out the sword. The real one falls to the ground, dead.]

ELENA: That boy was innocent, you killed him.

ROSALINE: Oh, you killed a lot more than my brother Elena, even innocents.

[JADE WOLF]

[Luke is sipping some tea in a booth. Ollie enters and approaches him.]

OLLIE: I still don't get what your obsession is with this restaurant.

LUKE: Have a seat. [Ollie sits down across from Luke.] I wanna talk to you about Simon Lewis.

OLLIE: Luke, I... I've never seen anything like it. It was straight out of some superhero movie.

LUKE: Did you mention it to anyone?

OLLIE: No, I took your advice. I don't want people to think I'm crazy.

LUKE: I'm sorry you had to see that, Ollie.

OLLIE: What? What do you mean you're sorry? [Luke makes eye contact with Raphael, who's sitting at a table close to them.] Luke, what are you talking about? I don't understand-

LUKE: I'm not proud of what I have to do, but it's for your protection. The Shadow World is a dangerous place.

[Raphael is now standing next to Luke.]

OLLIE: The Shadow what? [looking at Raphael] Who the hell is he?

[Raphael looks at Ollie intensely. Raphael's voice echoes through Ollie's head.]

RAPHAEL: You will forget the name Simon Lewis. He will no longer exist to you. Daniel Quinn murdered Heidi McKenzie. He's disappeared. And we will never find him.

MATT: You compelled her to forget.

[Ollie nods slowly.]

[THE INSTITUTE]

[Clary enters her bedroom and finds Simon staring out the window.]

CLARY: Simon.

SIMON: Sorry. Rose said I could wait here for you.

CLARY: Of course. I'm, I'm so glad you're here.

[Clary approaches him.]

SIMON: This hasn't been easy for me. And I thought dying was bad. This is way worse.

CLARY: Simon, I am so sorry.

SIMON: That night on the promenade, when we first kissed... we made a vow. Remember?

CLARY: How can I forget? We promised that we would always be friends. No matter what.

SIMON: I'm a man of my word. When I make a vow, I uphold it. I can't imagine a world without you in it, Fray.

CLARY: [crying] Me neither.

[Clary puts her hands on Simon's shoulders.]

SIMON: [pulling back] But I need time.

CLARY: [pause] How much time?

SIMON: I'm not sure.

CLARY: Well... whenever you're ready... I will be here. Always.

[Simon nods.]

[THE INSTITUTE, VALENTINE'S CELL]

[The transfer team enters the cell after someone unlocks the door. Valentine is put in handcuffs. Jace and Rose pull him up from the bed. They all exit the cell, and go to the open space, where Alec and Magnus are.]

ALEC: Valentine Morgenstern, by order of the Clave, you are hereby remanded to the Gard in Idris.

[Izzy nods to Magnus. Magnus opens a Portal.]

VALENTINE: I may be in a cell, but at least I'll be in Alicante, where the air doesn't reek of Downworlders.

ALEC: Get him out of here.

[The team nods to each other and they all go through the Portal, Izzy, Rose, Theo and Jace and some guards first. Before Valentine enters the Portal, Duncan puts his hand on his shoulder. More guards go through after them.]

[ALICANTE]

[The Gard is awaiting the team. Izzy and Jace come through the Portal, so do the guards with them and the last guards. Valentine and Duncan don't come through. The Portal closes. Consul Malachi Dieudonné speaks to them.]

KLAUS: Where did he disappear?

JONATHAN: I take the credit.

MALACHI: Where's the prisoner?

ISABELLE: I don't know, Consul Dieudonné.

ROSE: [to Izzy] What happened to Duncan?

MALACHI: Where the Angel is Valentine?

[BASEMENT]

[A Portal opens up. Duncan and Valentine walk out. Valentine is shocked to see his surroundings. Sebastian is waiting for them. Duncan goes up to him.]

DUNCAN: I did as you asked. I brought Valentine here. Now, please, let my family go.

SEBASTIAN: [holding Duncan's head] Thank you, Duncan. You did uphold your end of the bargain.

[Sebastian pierces Duncan with his blade.]

ELENA: You killed him also.

SEBASTIAN: But I'm afraid that I cannot uphold mine.

[Sebastian pulls out the sword and goes to Valentine.]

VALENTINE: What do you want from me?

[Suddenly, Sebastian transforms into a burned man with dark eyes.]

They flinched at his appearence.

MAN: Hello... Father.
