Rosaline opens her eyes and flashes her alpha eyes. She swings her katanas and fearless rune is showed. Theodore's magical bow appears and he stretches its string forming the strength rune. Jonathan is shown showing his demon eyes and his seraph blade appears. He cuts the air and flexibility rune is show. Clary is seen blowing the candles on her birthday cake forming the angelic rune. Jace is seen jumping from a building with eagles surrounding him. He jumps on the ground splashing the water which forms heightened speed rune. Alec is seen a room with healing rune drawn on one of the walls. He aims his arrow. Isabelle is now shown swinging her blade forming the parabatai rune. Simon is seen wiping the blood on his lips in hotel de mort. The whole background turns black and white. Luke is seen with a wall behind him covered with runes and wolves. Magnus is drinking his cocktail. Scene splits and shows Theo and Rose using their magic and flashing their alpha eyes. Then all the runes are shown burning and Rosaline, Theo, Clary, Jace, Jonathan, Alec and Isabelle are shown walking and the title Shadowhunter appears with The Mortal Instruments written below. And the screen turns black

[ABANDONED CABIN]

[Flashback: There is rumbling in the cabin. A demonic summoning sign appears on the floor.]

SEBASTIAN: [voice over] I've spent years clinging to my memories of freedom, imagining what I'd feel when I finally made it back.

[Out of the flames, a burned man rises.]

SEBASTIAN: [voice over] Would I be happy? Angry? Hard as I try... I could never quite picture it. In the end, I felt nothing. Just the unforgiving cold of the winter air.

Theo placed his hand on Jonathan's shoulder.

JONATHAN: Not a pleasant experience to feel.

[The man looks around and leaves the circle.]

[Cut to cabin in the present.]

SEBASTIAN: I guess it's true what they say. You can never go back home. [leading Valentine to a chair] Sit.

[Valentine sits down and Sebastian ties chains around his feet.]

VALENTINE: Why bring me here?

SEBASTIAN: Because I realized the thing that was missing was you. You made me what I am, Father. Everything you did to me created this. Now it's my turn to repay the favor.

ROSE: You should have made him pay that time only.

JONATHAN: I know and I regret it.

[TITLE SCREEN]

[SIMON'S CONTAINER]

[Maia knocks on the door.]

MAIA: Hello?

[When there is no answer, she opens the door and enters.]

MAIA: Hello? Anybody alive in here? [there is grunting coming from the bed] Or anybody dead in here? [Maia approaches the bed and finds Simon moping] Oh, my God. Hey, what's the point of being a Daylighter if all you do is mope around in the dark?

[Maia rips off the curtain and light shines in the room.]

SIMON: I don't know. I'm starting to think there isn't a point.

MAIA: Have you been sending e-vites out to this pity party? [sits down on the bed] Luke told me about what happened with Clary. You wanna talk about it?

SIMON: If I say no, would you go away?

MAIA: Probably not.

SIMON: I was torn up about everything that happened with Clary. I fed on a mundane.

MAIA: Look, nobody said being a Downworlder would be easy. We all make mistakes, especially when it comes to love. You just need something to clear your head. [pause] Happy hour at the Hunter's Moon.

SIMON: No, thanks. That's what got me in this mess. Besides, I'm fasting for Yom Kippur.

REBEKAH: What the hell is Yom Kippur?

SIMON: It's the Jewish Day of Atonement.

MAIA: Oh.

SIMON: It's the Jewish Day of Atonement. Essentially, you don't eat anything to atone for your sins for the past year. And judging my last year, I have a lot to atone for.

MAIA: But you're gonna go to temple? I mean, you're a vampire. Isn't that some sort of fire hazard?

SIMON: No, it's just a family dinner. My Bubbie Helen's coming in from Florida, so I have to go. [goes to his closet to pick out a tie] Besides, wasn't it you just saying I needed something to help clear my head?

MAIA: Yeah, but a family dinner wasn't exactly what I had in mind. I mean, we've, we've been over this. For a Downworlder, depression can be seriously dangerous. What if you end up hurting somebody?

SIMON: My family's all I've got left. I need to feel normal again. You know, even if it's for a few hours.

[THE INSTITUTE, OPS CENTRE]

[Clary is about to walk into the Ops centre when Jace runs after her.]

JACE: Hey, can we talk?

CLARY: [keeps walking] About what?

JACE: About how you keep walking out of a room every time I walk in?

CLARY: I haven't.

JACE: Yeah, you have, Clary. And look, I get it, but we can't avoid each other forever.

CLARY: Jace, Valentine's missing, okay? We have more important things to deal with right now. [joining Izzy, Theo, Rose and Alec at a table] Any word from Magnus or Luke?

ALEC: No. With Valentine free, the Downworld Cabinet has been holding secluded meetings at the Seelie Court.

ELIJAH: That does not sounds good.

JACE: That's not good.

CLARY: [side-eyeing Jace] You think anything good happens in the Seelie Court?

ALEC: The Clave isn't gonna let this go unpunished. The Inquisitor sent an envoy to assess the situation. Chances are, they'll be the ones replacing me as the Head of the Institute.

ISABELLE: Not if we could recapture Valentine. Sebastian and all available personnel are searching. We already know Duncan managed to hijack the Portal.

JACE: If he was Luke's accomplice, he could have been orchestrating the secret transfer all along.

ALEC: Listen, I appreciate the effort, but Valentine escaped on my watch. I deserve to take the heat for it.

CAROLINE: That wasn't your fault.

THEO: This isn't your fault.

ISABELLE: He is right, it's mine. I was the one in charge of the transfer team.

JACE: Hey, we all were. Look, Alec, you are a good leader. You can't just let Imogen fire you over something you didn't do.

[Suddenly, a voice joins in on their conversation. It's Robert Lightwood.]

ROBERT: Alec will do as he's ordered.

ISABELLE: Dad?

THEO: Father?

ALEC: What are you doing here?

ROBERT: I'm the Clave's envoy. We need to talk.

[THE INSTITUTE, ALEC'S OFFICE]

[Alec and Robert are having a private conversation. Alec's sitting in his chair, Robert's standing by the window.]

ALEC: I never expected it to be you.

ROBERT: You're my son. I felt it way my responsibility to deliver your orders personally. Allowing Valentine's escape was a lapse in leadership, but our top priority is tracking him down. We believe he may still be in New York. And I convinced Imogen that you know this city better than anyone in Idris. You'll remain Head of the Institute.

ALEC: That's it?

ROBERT: For now. But Imogen is keeping you on a tight leash. Don't give her an excuse to give Aldertree his old job back.

ALEC: I appreciate the help... but don't think this makes up for what you did to Mom.

[Robert sits down.]

ROBERT: Alec, your mother and I have always had a complicated relationship-

ALEC: It's not complicated. You cheated on her. There's a reason she returned to Idris as soon as you got here.

ROBERT: I made a mistake. I never meant to hurt you... but I fell in love. Oh, you of all people should know what it's like-

BONNIE: He was comparing your relationship with his.

MATT: No offense, but your father is a real dick.

THEO: Tell me something new.

ALEC: Magnus isn't an affair. I shouldn't have said anything. We can argue all about family drama once we find Valentine. But until then, I have an Institute to run.

ROBERT: Alec...

ALEC: You can go.

[THE INSTITUTE, LIBRARY]

[Jace and Rose are studying a map. Clary and Theo enter.]

CLARY: You asked Alec to assign four of us to search Staten Island?

JACE: Yeah, I needed someone I could trust. [pause] You, are the one who said finding Valentine had to be a priority.

CLARY: Yeah, but I didn't mean we had to search together. [coming closer] Wait... [looking at the map] This is Idris.

JACE: Yeah, you really think Valentine's in Staten Island?

CLARY: No, but I'm pretty sure the Clave has Idris covered.

ROSE: Not if they're looking in the wrong place.

JACE: Valentine used to take me to this cabin in Brocelind Forest when I was a kid.

CLARY: And you think he's hiding there?

JACE: Probably not, no. But I bet you we find more in that cabin than we do in Staten Island.

THEO: Jace, you need to tell someone.

[Jace moves to the other end of the table and looks at another map.]

JACE: Yeah, I did. The Clave denied my request for a Portal.

JEREMY: Great. First they want Valentine under arrest and then, they deny the request of portal.

CLARY: What about Rose and Theo? You can make the portal.

JACE: Unfortunately, Portaling to Idris without approval isn't exactly sanctioned under the Accords. [Jace's voice fades in Clary's head] I was thinking, if Rose or Theo, could get me close enough to the Swiss border, I could hike it. It's only about 30 miles. It's a long shot, but it's the best I can come up with...

ROSE: Who said we care about rules but it seems someone else could help us.

ELENA: Who?

CLARY: Me.

JACE: Who?

[Clary concentrates on the map, and suddenly, a rune appears on it.]

CLARY: Me. [Rose smirked.]

JACE: What are you talking about?

[Clary starts drawing the rune in the air with her stele.]

JACE: What are you doing?

THEO: Making a portal.

[Clary pushes the rune forward and it transforms into a Portal. Wind blows all around the room.]

HOPE: That's cool.

CLARY: It worked!

JACE: That's impossible.

ROSE: Who says?

CLARY: Obviously, it's not. You're thinking of that cabin, right?

JACE: Yeah, look, just wait a second, okay?

CLARY: Come on, the Portal's about to close. I'm not sure I can open another one.

ROSE: You can.

[Clary starts running for the Portal. Rose and Theo also enter.]

JACE: Clary, wait! Stop!

[Clary pulls Jace into the Portal with her.]

[UNDER WATER]

ACHATIUS: You needed more practice.

CLARY: I know.

[Clary tries to swim to the light, she's almost out of breath. Just in time, Jace takes her with him and they climb out of a lake. Clary is sputtering and coughing.]

JACE: You okay?

CLARY: I'm fine. Just a little damp. [Jace looks around.] Why aren't you two drenched?

THEO: A little magic can help.

CLARY: Of course. Did we make it?

ROSE: Yeah. Welcome to Idris.

[There are mountains surrounding them, and beyond the lake, they see the city.]

[OLD CABIN]

[Valentine is chained to a chair.]

VALENTINE: How is this possible? How did you manage to escape?

SEBASTIAN: Frankly, I'm a little bit disappointed that you haven't figured it out already. You should remember Azazel...

VALENTINE: Azazel? So you're the reason that demon switched me with the warlock?

SEBASTIAN: [lighting the fireplace] Not exactly. You see, I made a deal with him. I summoned him out of Edom, and he helped me escape. Once I was free, I returned the favor. [pause] I'm afraid it's not a very nice place. The first day I was there, they started burning my skin. Just one layer at a time. They said I was too pretty for their world... too human. [touching his own face and looking in the mirror] So they made me hideous. But they also taught me how to use my demon blood... how to draw from its power. See, I may be grotesque in my own skin, but, with it, I have power that you could only dream of.

VALENTINE: Then why keep the Verlac boy's visage if you're weaker for it?

SEBASTIAN: I think it rather suits me. Don't you? As does the accent. A bit more charming than a demonic beast with burnt flesh.

VALENTINE: Jonathan, I know what I did to you was horrific, but let me make it up to you. Azazel wanted the Mortal Cup. Unchain me and it's yours.

ACHATIUS: You never wanted any mortal instrument, you wanted revenge.

[Sebastian chuckles.]

SEBASTIAN: You still don't understand, do you? See, I don't give a damn about your Mortal Instruments. I never have. I used Azazel to stage an attack on the Lightwood girl in order to gain access to the Institute. Whatever he did after that, however amusing... it was none of my concern.

DAVINA: You planned that whole thing.

JONATHAN: Yes, for that Izzy I am sorry.

ISABELLE: I already forgave you.

VALENTINE: And yet you wouldn't have just brought me here if you were gonna torture me to death. So what are you planning?

SEBASTIAN: Don't worry, Father. [in Valentine's ear] You will find out soon enough.

[LAKE SIDE]

[Jace and Clary stand up from the ground.]

JACE: I still can't believe you made a Portal rune.

CLARY: You've said that already, Jace.

JACE: You don't understand. It took warlocks thousands of years to learn how to use Portals. And you just improvised one. [starts walking, Clary, Rose and Theo follow.]

ROSE: Jace is right. Not everyone can do what you did.

JACE: I wanna get out of here before dark. These woods are home to several packs of notoriously feral werewolves.

[They're entering the woods.]

CLARY: Valentine certainly has interesting ideas about what's kid-friendly.

CAROLINE: True.

JACE: Yeah, well, even he wouldn't let me go near the lake.

[Clary gasps and leans against a tree.]

JACE: You Okay?

CLARY: Yeah, I'm fine.

[They continue walking.]

THEO: You know, an iratze might be able to help you out with that.

CLARY: [checking her pockets] Oh, no. I don't have my stele. I must have dropped it when I hit the water.

JACE: Don't look at me. I left mine in New York. Someone pulled me through the Portal before I had time to get it.

THEO: We also left ours.

CLARY: You know what? It's okay. I mean, we don't even need a stele. Jace can activate runes without them, right?

JACE: Yeah, I mean, you know, theoretically...

CLARY: And you were giving me crap about my Portal.

They chuckled at their fight.

JACE: I didn't say I couldn't do it.

[Rose laughed.]

[Clary gets dizzy.]

CLARY: Yeah, on second thought, my stele might actually come in handy. We should head back to the lake and see if we can find it.

[They turn around.]

[THE INSTITUTE]

[Isabelle approaches her father who's looking at a map of New York.]

ISABELLE: Dad, what's going on?

ROBERT: Nothing, why?

ISABELLE: Max missed his training session this morning because he wouldn't leave his room. He said you screamed at him and told him to keep the whole thing a secret? You barely ever raise your voice. What could Max possibly have done?

ROBERT: Nothing, it's just... with Valentine free I've been under a lot of stress lately-

ISABELLE: Dad.

ROBERT: [looking around] I mean, Max sure seems to have a talent for finding trouble. [They talk quietly in a corner.] I caught him reading through a file of private fire messages that I'd received from the Inquisitor and... well, you know the rest.

ISABELLE: Private fire messages?

ROBERT: It's not what you think. It's above your security clearance. I have said too much already... I should go talk to Max.

[Robert leaves.]

[SIMON'S CONTAINER]

[Simon is locking up behind him when he hears a voice.]

MAIA: Going somewhere?

SIMON: [looking at her outfit] Are you going somewhere?

MAIA: Yeah, I'm coming with you.

SIMON: No way. Look, uh, I really appreciate the offer, but Yom Kippur is not a "bring your friends" kind of holiday.

KOL: The kind of tone she used in her voice, it was clear she wasn't asking.

MAIA: I wasn't asking.

SIMON: I mean, I didn't even tell my family I was dating Clary. And like, how would I explain this? "Hey Mom, meet Maia, a werewolf friend who knows that I turned a guy into dust, and now she's kind of worried I might hurt you, or tell you I'm a vampire or-"

STEFAN: You certainly have a talent even Caroline can't blabbe this much.

CAROLINE: Really, Stefan.

MAIA: Okay, look... Just let me come with you.

[Simon thinks about it.]

SIMON: Come on.

[LEWIS RESIDENCE]

[Bubbie Helen is sitting at the dinner table. Simon's mother and sister are finishing setting the table.]

HELEN: Well, not showing up to temple is one thing, but I'm not waiting for Simon to start eating.

[Simon and Maia enter the dining room.]

SIMON: Hey, guys.

MAIA: Hi. I'm Maia.

REBECCA: Huh.

MAIA: Simon's girlfriend.

[Helen smiles at Simon, she looks impressed.]

FREYA: She was clearly impressed.

[THE INSTITUTE]

[Alec and Izzy are talking quietly in a hallway.]

ALEC: Honestly? As long as Dad apologizes to Max, I don't care what the fire messages said.

ISABELLE: I know you're still upset about the whole affair, but think about it. Valentine escaped under our watch, and yet Dad somehow convinced the Inquisitor to let you keep your job? What kind of leverage could he possibly have to do something like that? Did he say anything? 

ALEC: Not really. He said he was in love.

[Alec sighs. Suddenly, he clenches his fist. He feels something.] 

BONNIE: What was wrong? 

ALEC: Parabatai instincts. I sensed Jace was in danger. 

ISABELLE: Are you okay?

ALEC: Something's wrong with Jace.

[Izzy and Alec go to the library.]

ISABELLE: By the Angel.

[They see the mess in the room, the papers on the ground.]

ALEC: What the hell?

[Alec approaches broken pieces of glass and kneels down by them. Alec picks up a piece.]

ISABELLE: What happened here?

[Alec looks in the glass and sees the image of the lake where Clary, Rose, Theo and Jace are.] 

HOPE: The mirror showed the place where you were. 

ALEC: Is that a lake?

[LAKE SIDE]

[Clary is walking to the edge of the lake. She assumes Jace, Rose, Theo and Rose following her.]

CLARY: Hey, you don't think there's any chance steles can float, right? [turns around] Jace? Rose? Theo? Perfect. Now I've lost you all, too. 

ELENA: You got seperated. 

[In the distance Clary hears Jace screaming.]

CLARY: Jace!

[Clary runs through the forest. She finds stones smeared with blood.]

CLARY: Oh, God. [looking around] Jace! Rose! Theo!

[OLD CABIN]

[Valentine is pulling on his chains. It's of no use.]

SEBASTIAN: Don't waste your strength. Or, um, did you forget that you kept me prisoner in this godforsaken basement for almost a year? I spent every single one of those nights fighting against those chains. If there was a way out, I would have found it. 

REBEKAH: And here I thought Mikael should be awarded with the worst father of the year but your father seems to be in competition. 

VALENTINE: Jonathan, you brought it on yourself. 

ELIJAH: Your father has a tendency of blaming his mistake on his children. 

SEBASTIAN: [turning to Valentine] Are you sure about that?

VALENTINE: You killed that Timberworth boy. I had no idea what was next... If I would be next.

SEBASTIAN: I would never have killed my own father. Albert was... an experiment. 

MATT: Experiment? 

VALENTINE: Jonathan.

SEBASTIAN: What? You spurred my interest in science. Gave me my first chemistry set. Taught me the basic laws of physics. When I saw Albert on the bridge, I was... I was just curious. [holding up the poker he held in the fireplace] Would a 32-foot fall kill a boy? [holding the poker closer to Valentine] Yes, it will. 

JEREMY: You what? 

JONATHAN: What do you expect from a seven year old boy with demon blood, who wants to prove his father that he is better than the little experiment at the home. 

VALENTINE: Your experiments started to attract attention. I had no choice but to send you away...

SEBASTIAN: Don't lie to me. Of course you had a choice.

VALENTINE: No.

SEBASTIAN: You just chose the other boy. 

JACE: I didn't know you were so jealous of me. 

VALENTINE: No.

SEBASTIAN: You send me to Hell to protect him.

VALENTINE: That's not true. I sent you to Edom because you were out of control.

SEBASTIAN: [scoffs] I was out of control?

VALENTINE: Yes.

[Sebastian leans in and puts his hand around the hot poker. His skin sears.]

SEBASTIAN: [yelling] You made me this way! 

ROSE: Of course, daddy dearest is the one responsible for most of the miseries in our lives.  

[LEWIS RESIDENCE]

ELAINE: Uh, so, you were saying that Luke introduced the two of you?

SIMON: Yeah.

ELAINE: So does that mean you're friends with Clary? Because I haven't heard from her in ages. Is she okay?

SIMON: She's good.

REBECCA: So how's the band?

SIMON: Been great. Uh, we're actually more of a solo act now.

REBECCA: Ah, so no more fake blood glitch hop shows?

MAIA: His new stuff's actually really good. You guys should listen to it.

HELEN: So, I'm guessing you're not Jewish?

ELAINE: Mom!

MAIA: Uh, no, but I'll convert if it means more kugel.

HELEN: I like her. 

SIMON: [whispering to Maia] I'm sorry.

REBECCA: So give us the deets. How long has this been going on?

ELAINE: Yeah. What do you do for a living? That kind of thing.

SIMON: Maia is a... mixologist.

MAIA: Uh, well, the bartending's more of a part-time thing. I'm, uh, taking online classes for college. Marine biology. The dream is to transfer to the Columbia program.

REBECCA: Cool. You know, we used to take trips down to Margate when we were kids. But we could never get Simon to go in that water. [Helen chuckles] Yeah. He had a bit of a phobia of jellyfish. 

SIMON: I was five. 

SIMON: I was five years old.

[Everybody chuckles.]

HELEN: He'd worry somebody's gonna have to pee on him if he gets stung.

SIMON: Bubbie, I was five!

ELAINE: Okay, enough, the two of you. Enough. You know, I think it's time for our Yom Kippur tradition, where we share what it is we're atoning for.

SIMON: Mom, come on, that's not... That's not really a thing. I mean, like, it should be private.

ELAINE: Well, in our family, it's a thing. [to Maia] Simon's father started this tradition 13 years ago. And now we keep it alive in his memory. Who's gonna go first? [no response] Okay, I'll start. Uh, the thing that I regret most from this past year is that I had a relapse with my drinking. And it was really hard on everyone. And for that I am... I'm very sorry. See? That wasn't hard. Who's next?

[THE INSTITUTE, LIBRARY]

[Alec and Izzy are examining the pieces of glass.]

ALEC: What are these things?

ISABELLE: They look like Portal shards.

ALEC: So Jace, Rose, Theo and Clary are at this beach?

ISABELLE: Assuming they went through together, but none of it makes sense. How were they able to create a Portal inside the Institute?

ALEC: Maybe, because of Rose or Theo.

[Robert's standing in the doorway of the library.]

ROBERT: No. Clearly, it wasn't a normal Portal.

[Izzy and Alec turn around.]

ROBERT: Whatever it was, there was something strange about this Portal for the wards not to recognize it.

ISABELLE: That should explain these.

[Izzy gives Robert a Portal Shard. Robert looks at the lake.]

ROBERT: This isn't a beach. [handing the shard to Alec] It's Lake Lyn.

ALEC: The Lake Lyn? How can you tell?

ROBERT: Because Jace requested a Portal to Idris this morning. He thought he might have a lead on Valentine. But the Clave denied it.

ISABELLE: Seems like he went anyway.

ALEC: We need to help him. [to Robert] You have to get that Portal approved.

ROBERT: I'll try my best, but the Clave-

ALEC: I don't care what the Clave says. Jace is in trouble. And so is Theo.

ROBERT: I agree. But as long as you're acting Head of this Institute, you need to remain here.

ISABELLE: Jace is family. You can't expect Alec to abandon his parabatai. And Theo is our brother.

ALEC: No. Dad's right. I need to put the Institute first. Listen, I'm not abandoning anyone. I'm sending my best Shadowhunter to go and rescue them.

ISABELLE: [to Robert] Get me a Portal to Idris.

ROBERT: I will. But there's something you should know about this lake. 

CLARY: Something I should have known before. 

[FOREST]

[Clary is sneaking through the woods searching for Jace, her blade in hand. She turns around as air whooshes around her. Suddenly, on a higher hill she sees an Angel, a young man. A moment later, he's behind her. The Angel closes his wings as he approaches Clary.] 

THEO: Ithuriel, always making the dynamic entry. 

ANGEL: Hello, Clary. You don't recognize me?

CLARY: [recognizing the man] Ithuriel.

ITHURIEL: I was weaker when we last met. Thanks to you, I have recovered.

CLARY: What are you doing here?

ITHURIEL: Jonathan is alive.

CLARY: Jace? Is he okay? Where is he? 

FREYA: He was talking about you. 

ITHURIEL: I can only direct you toward the correct path. You must walk it yourself.

CLARY: Ithuriel, please. [Ithuriel looks up to the sky] I will do anything. Just tell me where he is. [Ithuriel's wings appear and he flies up into the air, he's gone.] Ithuriel!

[LEWIS RESIDENCE]

ELAINE: So who's next? Simon?

[Simon looks at Maia. He does not know what to say.]

MAIA: Uh, actually, I'd like to go. 'Cause being around your family makes me realize that maybe I haven't been the world's greatest daughter. Actually, it's been years since I've spoken to either of my parents. My brother was the favorite, so when he died... I felt like my parents kind of forgot about me altogether. And eventually, I ran away, and I haven't talked to them since. The thing is... I don't think it's the anger that's keeping me from talking to them. It's because of... the guilt.

ELAINE: I am sure your parents still love you. And they have not forgotten about you. I know I will love my kids forever, no matter what. [pause] All right, you're next, Simon.

SIMON: Um... I did a lot of bad stuff this year. I... I think I can move past it. I'm not gonna let it ruin my life.

[Maia smiles at him.]

REBECCA: So, what did you do? Did you double park the van? Did you smoke weed? 

KOL: Nah, you killed a vampire. 

SIMON: I, uh-

MAIA: Worse. I got us tickets to go to a Blade Runner marathon, and he ditched me for another girl.

[Elaine and Rebecca gasp. Simon smiles at Maia, she smiles back.]

[LAKE LYN]

[Izzy steps out of a Portal. She heads for the woods.]

[FOREST]

[Izzy hears the snarling of wolves in the distance. She turns around with her blade ready... it's Jace. She pulls the blade away from his neck.]

JACE: Hey. I'm guessing Alec got my message, huh? [showing Izzy the cut in his hand] Had to do something to get your guys' attention. Can I use your stele?

ISABELLE: What happened to Clary? Rose? And Theo?

[Izzy hands Jace her stele.]

JACE: Thank you. [activating his iratze] I don't know. One minute we were looking for her stele by the lake, the next they were gone.

ISABELLE: You didn't drink any of the lake water, did you?

JACE: No, but Clary did. [Izzy gets a look on her face] What? 

CAROLINE: What does it do? 

CLARY: It makes you hallucinate and after a period of time you loose your mind. 

ISABELLE: Lake Lyn has hallucinogenic properties. An iratze should be able to cure her, but we need to get to her soon.

JACE: Or what?

ISABELLE: She could lose her mind forever.

[OLD CABIN]

[Sebastian sits down across from Valentine.]

SEBASTIAN: Do you remember my eighth birthday? It was the day you gave me my first seraph blade. I was so excited to use it, that I snuck out of the cabin on my own.

VALENTINE: I was worried. [leaning in] I didn't know where you went. It was at least an hour until I found the blood... in the snow... I thought something terrible had happened.

SEBASTIAN: But it wasn't my blood, was it, Father? By the time you arrived, I'd already skinned the beast. A rather large werewolf, as I recall. See, I wanted to give you its pelt as a trophy. I wanted you to be proud of me.

VALENTINE: Oh, I was so proud. 

ROSE: Of course, he was. 

[Sebastian rises.]

SEBASTIAN: Out of everything that you taught me... killing was always what I was best at. [circling around Valentine and standing behind him] It's ironic, isn't it? That that should be the reason you came to hate me. The reason you sent me to Edom.

VALENTINE: You're right. What happened to you, it was my fault. But I never hated you. 

CAROLINE: Liar. 

SEBASTIAN: Oh, I understand completely. And I feel exactly the same way. Enjoy your time in Edom. 

[Sebastian cuts his hand and drops the blood on the floor. A ring of fire and a demonic summoning sign appear under Valentine's chair.] 

JONATHAN: I should have done that. 

[FOREST]

[Jace and Izzy approach Clary who's sitting by a rock.]

JACE: Clary?

[Clary jumps up. She is confused.]

CLARY: Who are you?

JACE: It's me, Jace.

CLARY: I don't know you.

JACE: You're confused. We're here to help you.

[Izzy pulls out her stele.]

ISABELLE: Just hold still.

[Izzy slowly comes closer.]

CLARY: Where's Jace? 

ACHATIUS: And here the hallucinations start. 

[Before Izzy can activate Clary's iratze, Clary starts fighting her. Jace wants to grab her from behind, but Clary kicks him. Izzy holds Clary but when Jace comes for the rune, Clary kicks the stele out of his hand. Clary pulls herself loose from Izzy.] 

JACE: Look, we're not gonna hurt you.

CLARY: You're not gonna get the chance.

[Clary stomps on the stele. It breaks.]

JACE: Hey, stop, stop! Look. I know you're scared, but it's me. It's Jace.

[Jace grabs Clary when she goes for the next attack.]

CLARY: Let go of me!

JACE: Hey, it's okay. Everything's gonna be okay.

[Jace's eyes light up. So does his own iratze. It works. Holding Clary has healed her. She turns around to him.] 

KLAUS: You activated your rune and healed her. 

CLARY: Jace.

JACE: Yeah.

CLARY: You're okay.

JACE: Now that you are.

[THE INSTITUTE, ALEC'S OFFICE]

[Robert knocks on the open door and enters. Alec turns around to him.]

ROBERT: Just got word from Isabelle. Jace and Clary are safe. They'll be in Valentine's cabin shortly. But Rose and Theo are still not found.

ALEC: Rose and Theo can protect themselves. Hopefully, Jace and Clary can recover something we can use to track him. [pause] Dad... Thank you. Izzy never would have made it to Idris without your help.

ROBERT: Alec, you and Isabelle, Theodore and Max and Jace are the most important people in the world to me. I know I've lost your trust. I hope I can earn it back.

ALEC: [stepping forward] Then why are you still lying to us? You told Max to keep a secret about some fire messages.

ROBERT: Yes, but-

ALEC: And whatever it is, just keep Max out of it.

ROBERT: [stepping forward] I sent those fire messages to Imogen to make sure that you would remain the Head of the Institute.

ALEC: So you're protecting me because I'm a Lightwood.

ROBERT: No. It's because I've always admired your courage and your honesty. It's the stuff that great leaders are made from.

ALEC: Why should I believe you? What did you send to Imogen? 

KOL: The leverage. 

[Robert sighs.]

ROBERT: [lowering his voice] The Clave is keeping a massive secret of their own. And I threatened to reveal it. I didn't tell you because I didn't want you to have to carry the burden of lying to people that you love. I know how hard that can be.

ALEC: Dad, just tell me.

ROBERT: But you cannot repeat this secret to anyone, not even Magnus. Promise me, Alec.

ALEC: I can't promise that. Either you trust me to be a leader, or you don't.

[Robert looks back at the door, to make sure no one's listening.]

ROBERT: The Clave lied about the Soul-Sword. They never recovered it from Valentine's attack on the Institute. They don't have it. They never did. 

ELENA: What? 

ALEC: Then who does? 

JONATHAN: I can happily take the credit. 

[OLD CABIN]

[Sebastian is holding the Soul-Sword, showing Valentine he has it.]

SEBASTIAN: Oh, I bet you'd love to get your hands on your precious Soul-Sword now. Well, you're in luck. I'm gonna be sending it with you. Considering my demon blood, it didn't seem wise to leave such a powerful weapon just lying around. [Sebastian circles around Valentine's chair, still holding the Soul-Sword.] Even if it is deactivated. It seems a rather fitting end to you both, don't you think? You always cared more about the Mortal Instruments than you did your own son.

VALENTINE: [shaking his head] That's not true. Despite everything I've done, I have always, always cared about you.

SEBASTIAN: Do not lie to me. If you truly, truly cared about me, you would have never sent me away.

VALENTINE: I made a mistake. It was Jace that was the failed experiment- 

ELIAJH: He was trying to manipulate you. 

SEBASTIAN: Shut up!

[Sebastian is about to hit Valentine with the sword, but Valentine grabs onto the end of it. The Sword lights up.]

VALENTINE: The Sword still compels the truth. Jonathan, not a day goes by that I don't think about you, where I am not haunted by that decision I made to send you to Edom. I have always dreamed of creating the ultimate warrior and now that dream is a reality. You have always been my greatest creation, son. Always! 

ACHATIUS: And here, you believed him. Not understanding, what his words really meant. 

JONATHAN: Believe me, my life's greatest regret is believing that manipulative bastard. 

[Sebastian's breath shakes.] [ Theo and Rose heard it. Rose had tear in her eyes. They went inside but Valentine and Jonathan were long gone.]

ROSE: Damn it.

[LAKE LYN]

[Izzy, Clary, and Jace are looking for the cabin.]

JACE: Haven't been to this cabin in years, but I'm pretty sure it's just past this hill. There it is.

[They stop walking and look at the cabin from a distance.]

ISABELLE: Someone was just here.

[Cut to Jace, Clary, and Izzy descending the stairs of the cabin. They see Rose and Theo.]

JACE: It's you. Thank God, you both are okay.

[DOCKS]

[Simon and Maia are getting out of Simon's truck. They're walking to Simon's container.]

SIMON: So, all of the, uh, jellyfish stuff, maybe we keep that between us?

MAIA: [chuckles] Your secret's safe with me.

SIMON: Thanks. Thank you for coming tonight. Despite my many objections, I could not have gotten through that dinner without you. Quick thinking. Marine biology? I think you totally pulled it off.

MAIA: [stops walking] That's 'cause it's true. I'm taking classes online.

SIMON: Really? I had no idea you were interested in that.

MAIA: I'm pretty sure there's a lot you don't know about me.

SIMON: Pretty sure you're right. I never asked. But I guess I've been kind of self-absorbed lately.

MAIA: A little. [they both chuckle] So...

SIMON: So...

MAIA: It's late.

SIMON: I hadn't noticed. Vampire.

[Maia gives him a slow kiss on his cheek.]

MAIA: Good night, Simon.

SIMON: Night.

[Simon watches as Maia enters the Jade Wolf.]

[THE INSTITUTE, OPS CENTER]

[From a distance, Alec and Izzy see their dad shaking hands with some people.]

ALEC: Even if Dad's intentions are good, these secrets only end up making things worse.

ISABELLE: Trust me, I know the damage secrets can cause more than anyone. But if it got out there that the Clave lied about the Soul-Sword, it can mean the end of the Accords.

ALEC: Maybe you're right. I've gotta do something.

ISABELLE: Are you gonna tell Magnus? 

ALEC: I should have. 

[THE INSTITUTE, LIBRARY]

[Jace is reading a book when Clary enters. Jace looks up.]

JACE: What's up?

CLARY: Nothing, um... I'm just really glad you're okay. [pause] Did you find anything in Valentine's books?

[Clary comes closer and looks at the books.]

JACE: These aren't books. They're journals. Valentine used to keep these on the highest shelf in the cabin. I remember trying to read one once, see what all the fuss was about. He got to me before I could even open it. That was the last time we went back to that cabin. Now I know why.

[Rose and Theo join.]

[Clary notices a name.]

CLARY: "Jonathan Christopher". These are about you. 

FINN: Not only about Jace but Jonathan also. 

ROSE: Nope. Not only about him.

JACE: [pointing at another journal] Morgenstern. Herondale.

[There are two colums on the page, one with Jonathan Christopher Morgenstern, one with Jonathan Christopher Herondale.]

CLARY: You were... you were opposite ends of the same experiment?

JACE: There are hundreds of pages of notes. Years worth of research. [closing a journal] These... these journals are... [looking over the table] They're all that's left of my childhood.

CLARY: But... Wait, Jace, this was ten years ago. Jonathan died in a fire when he was an infant. How could Valentine still be studying him if he was already dead?

[Clary thinks back of the moment in the woods. She hears Ithuriels words again.]

ITHURIEL: Jonathan is alive.

[Cut to present.]

CLARY: Ithuriel wasn't talking about you. He was talking about my brother. He's still alive.

ROSE: You are right, Jonathan is alive.

[SEBASTIAN'S APARTMENT]

[Sebastian is looking out the window. Valentine is in the living room as well, not in chains anymore.]

VALENTINE: Jonathan? [Sebastian turns around.] Dinner is served.

[Sebastian looks at the set table. They both sit down. Valentine raises his glass and smiles. He takes a sip. Sebastian smiles, too.]
