Everything is all wrong.
They find Raphael carrying Simon.
From his limp, dangling body, its clear that poor Simon is dead.
Well, hes almost dead.
Camille snacked on him a few times, and now hes transitioning.
Clary is furious, even though Raphael was nice enough to deliver her dorky friend.
A choice must be made: Do you let him die or help him turn into a vampire?
Jace laughs at the idea of Simon turning into a blood-sucking downworlder living in a casket.
Vampires live in coffins.
The decision is hers.
Katherine McNamara turns on the waterworks big time.
Its clear this will be her nomination reel for a Teen Choice Award.
Back inside the Institute, Valentine walks in without a care in the world.
Alec shoots an arrow at his foe, and the dude catches it.
Or should I say, dudette.
Valentine morphs into a shadowhunter lady.
Meet Lydia Branwell (Stephanie Bennett), who is the new sheriff in town.
Shes young, gorgeous, and ready to whip the New York shadowhunters back into shape.
Maryse obviously hates her, even though the Branwells and Lightwoods have been family friends for years.
Lydia doesnt back down from a fight either.
When he presented the obedient falcon to his father, his dad snapped the birds neck.
Lets bum everyone out!
Jaces father was disappointed that his son loved the bird.
You have to listen to your head, not your heart.
Excuse me while I wear my emotions on my sleeve.
(See Teen Choice nomination reel for confirmation.)
Alec tries not to make a barfing noise.
She warns Alec never to fall in love.
What is the deal with all the tales of woe in this episode?
This zombie-like creature attacked the pack, and it took five wolves to bring it down.
Theres no question that Valentine is behind this hideous deed.
Luke thinks its personal.
Lydia promises that she will put up additional wards to protect ex-Circle members.
Hodge might be in danger.
Lydia looks at him strangely and adds, So are your parents.
It seems that the Lightwoods are keeping all sorts of secrets from their children.
And by experts, I mean Magnus Bane.
For those of you shipping Magnus and Alec, youll have to hold your horses.
Speaking of Clary, our dramatic actress breaks the news to Luke that Simon is dead.
She asks his advice on what to do?
Luke explains that Simon will be a downworlder if Clary goes through with it.
He has a flashback, remembering that Jocelyn stayed with him during his own transition.
The decision is made.
Shovels up, people.
Its time to dig in.
Raphael, Clary, and Jace arent the only ones at the cemetery.
Camille arrives with a gaggle of fellow vampires, ready to reclaim her property.
Raphael uses this moment to share with his fellow vampires that Camille deserves to be overthrown.
Shes putting their clan in danger by killing random mundanes.
All they have to do is get rid of the body and everything will be back to normal.
Clary punches Camille square in the face (DRAMA!)
before the other vamps surround her.
Raphael hands Clary a stake and a shovel.
She chooses the spade and begins digging Simons grave as the two supernatural beings watch.
Simon is placed in the grave.
Clary begins tossing dirt onto his body and dissolves into a puddle of tears.
He reminds Clary that Simon is a fighter, albeit an annoying one, who never seems to die.
Raphael tosses him a few blood bags.
He takes a dozen down without hesitation.
The transition is complete.
Simon begins to freak out, knowing that hes a vampire now.
Clary swears hes the same person, but hes not having it.
He speeds away into the night.
Raphael offers to take care of him.
Neither Clary nor Jace thanks him for his help.
She suddenly realizes something that is confusing for me.
Did she just figure out that this is Valentines army?
Did I get that right?
Inquiring minds want to know.
I think a glittery Simon would be super cute.
