Remember how Clary and Jace found his dad in a metal locker at Valentines old hideout?
Meliorn said, I can help you find your father.
Knowing that seelies cant lie, was that generally directed toward Jace?

Or are we to believe Clarys Spidey-sense that something is off with Mr. Michael Wayland?
Who cares about the dying shadowhunter in front of him?
Michael explains that Valentine would never hurt her.
Hes still in love.
They will find her.
Surely she kept human blood on ice somewhere, right?
Simon will keep his mouth shut in exchange for a few bags.
The transfusion is a success.
While Jace rests, Michael reminisces about how Clary reminds him of Jocelyn.
Shes fearless, loving, and stubborn.
Instead of defending herself, Clary settles into the truth of that statement.
Michael knew Jocelyn was pregnant with Clary and never told Valentine no matter how much he tormented him.
Valentine thought her mother was dead.
Why would he be asking about her?
Michael changes the subject, suggesting Clary go check on Jace.
Im so glad that Clary didnt let it go.
She tells Jace that something is definitely not right with his father.
Hes been a loving, supportive man for the last hour.
How can this be the same dude who broke the neck of his kids falcon?
How else was he supposed to learn to not let emotions get in the way of his training?
Besides, finding Michael will definitely lead to Valentine, which will lead to Jocelyn.
Clary smiles and asks Jace if he remembers anything from the other dimension.
She wonders out loud if what she felt over there for him was real.
They had a good thing going in fantasy land!
Jace responds with a very real, very aggressive kiss.
Michael has an answer.
Valentine injected him with downworlder blood as an experiment.
Little by little, he developed enhanced hearing and vision.
Jace bolts up and vows to scout the location.
Clary gives him a look.
She will scout with Luke.
Jace isnt the only one who has been benched.
Izzy is on trial for treason, and theres nothing Alec can do to stop it.
In fact, the high inquisitor with major cleavage just arrived with a silent brother in tow.
The trial begins this evening!
Alec rushes over to Magnus Bane.
Shadowhunters do that a lot on this show.
Alec wants Magnus to be Izzys defense attorney.
This warlock is 300 years old.
Surely he secured a law degree in the last few centuries, right?
Magnus agrees to do it.
He wants Alec pro bono.
Pitiful innuendo aside, Alec refuses and trades his bow and quiver for Magnus services.
We have an accord.
NEXT: Reunited and it feels so good
Mangus defense lasts 20 seconds.
He basically admits that Izzy is guilty of helping someone.
What the Clave really wants is the Mortal Cup, and Izzy is the scapegoat.
He thinks the case should be dismissed.
Lydia counters Izzy with vague questions.
Shadowhunters are part angel, but they are part mundane too.
There is a compassionate side.
They cant turn on each other.
Thats what Valentine wants.
Magnus calls Lydia to the stand.
She parrots back, The law is hard, but its the law, as the high inquisitor smiles.
Then Lydia adds, But that doesnt make it right.
She praises Izzys compassion and her love for Alec.
She even commends Magnus on a job well done.
She thinks that the case is nonsense and withdraws all charges.
The celebrations are cut short when the inquisitor announces that Izzy is guilty.
If not, Izzy will be stripped of her runes and exiled forever.
Its the reason his parabatai bond with Alec is weak.
Daddy Wayland has a different idea.
Jace is weak because of Clary.
He thinks his son is too attached to the fiery redhead.
But he can see that he loves her.
Now lets go kill some demons!
When Luke and Clary scouted Renwicks earlier, there were too many demons to count.
Now there arent any outside.
Michael claims this is Valentines plan.
Michael may have just emerged from a life in a locker, but he wasnt born yesterday.
Luke stays behind to handle the baddies as Jace and Michael run in to help Clary.
They find her staring at her mothers listless body floating in that annoying green orb.
Demons silhouette all of the windows, clawing their way inside.
Jace begs Clary to use the cup before its too late.
She magics it out of the card, holds it up, and shouts (in a British accent?
Michael asks for the cup, and Clary gives it to him.
He immediately cuts a rune in his forearm and morphs into Valentine.
Valentine commands for the demons to attack his enemies!
Clary glamoured a fake Mortal Cup!
She presents the real one from her bag and commands the demons to leave.
Jace goes in for the kill, but Valentine panics.
He wasnt pretending to be Jaces father.
HE IS HIS FATHER.
Jace looks like hes going to hurl.
Probably because he can still taste Clarys Dr. Pepper Lip Smacker on his tongue.
He reminds Jace that hes weak, invites him to join forces, and then jumps through a portal.
Luke rushes in at that moment to maneuver Jocelyn out of Renwicks.
Jace and Clary stare at each other.
Back at the Institute, Clary gives Lydia the cup, and Izzy is free.
Jace and Alec have it out.
Then Jace falls into a insecurity spiral of sorts in front of his girlfriend/sister.
He owns his weakness.
He should have killed Valentine.
He cant kill his father.
He gives her a weary look.
Right back at you, kid.
Luke fills Simon in on the fake Michael Wayland news.
Simon grins when Luke mentions Jocelyn.
He knows that the werewolf is still in love with her.
Luke offers some interesting news: Jace and Clary are brother and sister.
Mazel tov to all the Climon shippers!
Do we need a better name?
Help me out if we do.
