Previously on Shadowhunters...
What did I do?
- Clary, I am so sorry. - Please don't.
Can you raise my mother from the dead?
I'll bring your mother back,
and, as payment, you can owe me a favor.
- The deal's off. - No. You took a blood oath.
If ever demons overtook the world...
As a last resort,
the Soul-Sword would destroy demon-blooded creatures in its path.
- Demon-blooded creatures. - Downworlders.
We have to free the angel. If Valentine has the angel...
He can activate the Soul-Sword.
I've seen the havoc yin fen can wreak.
Do you know where to look for the source?
Probably one of the Night Children.
Yin fen is made from vampire venom.
There's just something I need.
What do you need, Shadowhunter?
Look, I'm not here to hurt anyone.
I just need a little... Venom.
Someone's been a naughty girl.
All out of yin fen?
That's okay. You can have a little venom...
I'm just gonna need a lot of blood.
You're quick, but not quick enough.
Forget the venom.
Too late, pretty thing.
Release the Shadowhunter.
On my orders.
I thought you hated me.
Call it an intense dislike.
So why are you helping me?
I don't know.
The pain... It's everywhere.
What did you think yin fen would do to you?
I need something...
Something to stop it.
What you need to do is sweat it out.
Okay, over time, you'll be better off.
- You need to be strong. - I can't.
You have to.
I swear, I'll never ask again.
Just this once.
Forgive me.
How could you not tell me that?
The Downworld would be in total chaos if they knew what the Sword could do.
There would be uprisings everywhere.
So you're saving the Downworlders from themselves?
We never asked.
We didn't even know that Valentine could activate the Sword
until we realized he had an angel.
Luke, I didn't want you to worry.
Well, it's too late for that.
Look, you don't understand, all right...
No. I do understand.
He has my sister.
What else aren't you two telling me?
The angel, he... He showed us something.
Just now, on the rooftop,
he showed us both a vision of a demon that can destroy the Sword.
How do you know that's what he was telling you?
There's no other explanation.
When the demon touched the Sword,
he and the Sword both disintegrated.
Luke, it was a demon I'd never seen before.
Then go find it.
I'll head out and see if that bastard left any clues for us to track him down.
There. They said that was the angel.
It could have been a shooting star.
Are you saying you don't believe Jace and Clary?
I thought you'd be impressed.
I'm not saying I don't believe them.
It's just that no one's seen an angel in hundreds of years.
So...
Did you take my advice about Magnus?
You did, didn't you?
Okay, start talking.
There's nothing to talk about.
Hey, you guys.
Hey, buddy. How are you doing?
Max! I missed you so much!
You look so handsome.
What are you doing here?
Alec. Isabelle.
It's good to see you both.
- Izzy... - Really?
'Cause the last time you were here, you turned your back on all of us.
Especially Jace.
I was following orders.
I had no choice.
Max has some big news.
Tell them, sweetheart.
I passed my last trial. I'm ready for my Rune Ceremony.
Congratulations.
So you finally perfected your roundhouse kick?
Yeah, and I knocked out two different instructors.
Sadly, your father won't be able to attend.
So, Alec, as the eldest male in the family,
you will be in charge of Max's ceremonial party.
What do you mean he won't be here?
He's tied up with the Valentine task force in Idris.
I can't believe Dad would miss this.
He doesn't have a choice.
We're all on high alert, especially after what that demon did to both of you
and Jocelyn.
I was surprised not to see you at the Rite of Mourning.
Dad called to see how we were.
Isabelle...
Bet you wish you were back in Idris.
I thought I was coming here to get away from the fighting.
Fighting? Mom and Dad?
All the time.
What's going on?
Mom doesn't like you having a warlock boyfriend.
And you?
Whatever, I don't care.
My mother's back.
Which means I'll make myself scarce.
No, I have something else in mind.
Hmm.
How would you feel about throwing a party?
Have you met me?
It is for Max's Rune Ceremony.
I think I'll pass.
Magnus...
I'm sure I'll love Max.
But Maryse? That woman hates me.
That's sort of the point of the party.
So that she can see that this, us,
it's not going away.
You sure about this?
Why wouldn't I be?
Then I better get to work.
Mr. Morgenstern.
What can I help you with?
A potion? A spell? I'm very versatile.
In a way that makes my skin crawl.
I thought we would understand each other.
Both scientists in our own right.
I applaud your spirit, but it won't help you.
I hear you've met my daughter, Clarissa?
- I had no idea... - Children...
...have a way of making us terribly vulnerable,
don't they?
Don't.
Please, don't hurt her.
I will do anything you ask.
Yes. You will.
This isn't crazy.
You drank blood.
You...
You've bit a rat. It's gonna be fine.
You fought a cobra. You went to India.
You can... You can totally tell her.
It's Clary. It's not like it's a... Another cobra.
That would be something. Seriously...
- Simon, are you okay? - Yeah.
I'm very okay.
Hopefully.
Do you wanna sit? I mean, standing works, too.
Okay. What's going on?
I get this weird text to meet you here at, like, 11:00 at night?
Did something happen with you and Maia?
Yes. Something did happen.
Um...
Look, Clary...
The thing is, um...
Simon, I don't have a telepathy rune.
Right. Of course not.
Okay.
We've been friends...
Best friends for a long time.
A really long time.
And the last thing I'd ever want to do is screw that up.
Because it's... It's really important to me.
It's really important to me, too.
But... The thing is, when two people are friends...
People like you and me...
Sometimes feelings evolve, you know?
And the relationship, friendship, whatever it is,
needs to change along with it...
Look, Simon, I... Is this because of Maia?
I don't want you to think that we can't
still be best friends because you...
Because you're seeing someone.
No, see, that's... That's it!
I don't... I don't want to see anyone.
Anyone... Anyone else, I mean.
I'm in love with you, Clary.
But I realized that you might not feel the same way.
And it might get weird... It might be...
We did that.
- We did. - Yeah, we did.
We did.
Was it... Was it, you know...
Weird?
Yeah.
In the best way possible.
