Tighten up, Lightwoods.
Im starting to understand why Alec constantly broods.
Id be tired of the wild goose chase, too.

I fully support his decision to lock away Clarys oddball necklace.
You know, the one that Valentine spoke through?
Lock it up, and throw away the key.
Clary confides in Izzy that she will do anything to save her mom.
Jocelyn Fairchild is both mother and friend and Clary is willing to sacrifice everything to get her back.
Look alive, children.
Maryse finds Jace training.
She looks like a proud adopted mother.
She wraps him in a warm embrace, just as Izzy explains to Clary that showdowhunters dont hug.
Alec receives a lukewarm welcome, and its on to business.
The seelies have mysteriously stopped communicating with the Clave.
I understand that this sentence may sound like gibberish to some of you.
Mama Maryse needs to know why…
Izzy volunteers to drop in on her friend Meliorn.
Maryse understands her daughters methods of dropping in on people and insists that Jace escort her.
The Clave is counting on the Lightwoods, and she will not be disappointed.
Jace asks Alec to keep an eye on Clary.
When Alec shifts uncomfortably, Jace demands to know why hes being such a weirdo.
Alec mumbles something about seeing Jaces face during the demon attack at Magnus.
Jace calmly explains that its no big deal he loves Alec just like Alec loves him.
How can we not love each other?
Alec blows off some steam by helping Clary train.
Clary wants to go investigate the loft to see if her mom left this mysterious box behind.
It could have some clues to help locate Valentine or the elusive Mortal Cup.
Alec starts on a monologue about the importance of rules before taking a phone call.
Apparently the warlock has the hots for the shadowhunter and wants to meet for a drink.
Alec never smiles but does accept the offer.
Then he turns around to find an empty room.
Luckily he finds her just as she takes a call from Simon.
She explains her plan, and Simon insists on coming to help.
Clary ends the call and wonders aloud why Alec looks so miserable all the time.
I did not see that coming!
Alec responds with the ever-popular, No, youre in love with Jace.
Its Clarys turn to blush.
I think they both would check the yes box if given the opportunity to be Jaces boyfriend.
Valentine killed them for their blood.
Jace encourages Meliorn to remain faithful to the Accord (read: peace document).
When the time comes, the seelies will want to be on the winning side with the shadowhunters.
NEXT: What part of keep an eye on her do you not understand?
Across town, Clary hugs Simon in a back alley that is the shortcut to her moms loft.
Clary thinks that Simon looks like a hot mess.
He blames it on the flu then hops a brick wall like hes a parkour aficionado.
No one seems to think this is odd behavior.
Fun fact: Simon can see them, too.
Alec thinks this is strange yet says nothing about it.
Clary tries to pop kick open the locked door with brutal strength instead of using a fancy unlocking rune.
Its a good thing Simon is there to jerk it open.
Again, THIS IS THE OPPOSITE OF NORMAL.
If you remember, Jocelyn torched the place to cover up any evidence of Clarys existence.
Its Simon who finds the fake floorboard where the mysterious box with the initials J.C. is hidden.
Clary opens the box, but nothing seems out of the ordinary.
Thats when Alec hears a noise.
He commands Simon and Clary to stay where they are while he plays Robin Hood outside.
Naturally the two best friends are kidnapped.
As suspected, Jace is livid.
Even the parabatai tracking isnt working.
How will he ever find Clary?
Whatever the case, Clary is highly irritated that Lukes partner, Alaric, is behind this bizarre behavior.
Her frustration grows when he asks her for the Mortal Cup.
Same song, second verse.
She lies and tells him its back at the loft.
Jace answers, and Simon is able to piece enough information together to lead them to the rescue.
Simon also sets off the fire alarm, forcing the wolves to evacuate.
The alpha shoves Clary in a shipping container.
She uses her witchlight to draw a rune on the wall.
Just as the lock melts away, Luke breaks fire up the door.
Clary is not having it.
Shes no damsel in distress and she certainly doesnt want to be saved by a traitor like Luke.
He hauls her over his shoulder, and Jace arrives just in time to sweep the legKarate Kidstyle.
Izzy saves Simon from his cell, and they run to join the others.
The gangs all together again!
Its too bad they are surrounded by very angry werewolves.
Just as the alpha attacks, another werewolf jumps into the scene.
The two wolves scuffle back and forth.
When the alpha dies, the other one rises as the new leader of the pack.
Say hello to Alpha Luke!
And his rocking body!
Clary begs Jace to help Luke.
His wounds are significant, and theres only one way to save him.
He has to see a warlock.
Can we assume that the price for healing one werewolf is a date with a certain bow-and-arrow-wielding shadowhunter?
My bet is yes.
