Previously on Shadowhunters.

Go ahead.

Kill her.

I just, I just want to hold you.

What is that?

Her feet.

What are you doing?

Who's the possessed?

At first I thought it was purely
mundane.

Woman's throat slashed with a knife.
Husband missing.

Probably knew her attacker.

Welcome to the church of Taltal.

Our time will come.

Well, here we are.

You sure bringing me here was a good
idea?

Yeah, it's better than coming by myself.

I'm joking.

They'll love you.

Just because you're the only Shadow
Hunter at a party full of warlocks

mean you can't have fun.

Yeah, well, it's easy for you to say.
You've known these people for centuries.

And you think that's a good thing?

Trust me, I don't want to be here any
longer than I have to.

But it's tradition for the outgoing High
Warlock to pass the baton on to his

replacement.

Is that him? The one and only Lorenzo
Ray, the new High Warlock of Brooklyn.

Magnus! Magnus Bane.

You made it.

And you brought a friend.

Yes, I... Alec Lightwood, head of the
New York Institute. I expect we'll be

seeing quite a bit of each other at your
down -world cabinet meetings.

No hard feelings, right, Bane?

On the contrary.

I'm very content in my new position.

Being the High Warlock is a thankless
job.

Long hours, little pay.

But I'm sure it doesn't matter to
someone as young and civic -minded as

yourself. No, don't be so jaded. I may
only be 484, but I'm no stranger to

service. All those years working for the
high warlock in Madrid have prepared me

well.

Although I may not be as easy on you as
he was.

After all, I'm here to serve the
warlocks, not portal you around like

glorified shuttle service.

I wouldn't have it any other way.

In that case, I look forward to our
first cabinet meeting.

Enjoy the party.

Who appointed him?

Nobody. It was a vote.

And Lorenzo can be very charming. As
long as you're a defony, no -taste,

egomaniacal piece of shit. A language.

Alex. Madsy.

Hey. My favorite little sorceress. I
can't believe you brought him just to

Lorenzo off.

No. I brought him because he's my
boyfriend.

Well, he's good with kids. I'll give you
that.

Something wrong with your drink? Mine
tastes weak as hell.

I can't control my magic.

I'm outta here, man.

What's going on?

I have no idea.

Will you please just... We've been doing
this for 15 minutes already. How much

longer do we have to do this? As long as
it takes to figure out what this silly

queen did to you. Look, I already told
you. She branded something on my

forehead, and then it healed, and now
I'm fine.

Well, what did it look like?

I don't know. I can't see my own
forehead.

Well, there wouldn't have been a whole
ceremony about it if it didn't do

something. What if the ceremony was just
for her to get my blood, and now she's

making some mutant daylighter fern?

Yeah, you might be on to something
there. Look, the point is, even if you

could... Find out what the Sealy Queen
did to me. Then what?

You kiss my booboo and make it feel
better?

Maybe.

It was actually a little too light.

Now you're just daily moves from Indiana
Jones.

I did learn from the best.

Larry?

I want to apologize.

For what?

For never taking you anywhere that
didn't involve the Seraph Blades.

Look, I know I've been preoccupied
lately.

I'd like to make it up to you.

What do you say we do something normal?

Jace, you don't consider a day normal
unless you come home covered in I

No, I don't.

But what about you?

Well, I could use a better model.

Don't worry, you don't have to take your
clothes off.

Unless you want to.

What would you say to dinner?

Tonight.

Someplace mundane.

Just the two of us.

Like a date?

Yes, Clary, yeah.

If you want to call it that, a date.

Where?

But don't think that gets you out of
modeling.

Right.

Brain check.

Please don't tell me you broke your
cellie again.

Nope.

He actually was hoping you could give me
a dinner recommendation.

Well, you're asking the wrong Lightwood.
Alec and Magnus have been to every

restaurant in New York.

Yeah, but Alec doesn't know Clary like
you do. I want to take her on a date.

Like a real date.

Who are you and what have you done with
Jace?

What are you talking about? I've been on
tons of dates.

With who? Your book club?

Yeah, among others.

That never was a girl you actually care
about.

Maybe.

Look, does that really change where I
should take her for dinner?

You tell me.

Izzy, that's not usually how dinner
recommendations work.

Okay, look, I'm not exactly an expert on
the subject, but I don't know, why

don't you get her flowers, take her to
the movies?

No, I don't do movies.

Maybe she does.

Look, Izzy, I want to take her someplace
mundane, not boring.

She deserves to have fun.

A night she's not going to forget.

What's the most romantic thing you two
have done together?

I did steal a demon motorcycle from a
seedy vampire bar.

Uh, you know, maybe a mundane restaurant
isn't such a bad idea after all.

Hey, Magnet.

Magic working okay?

Totally back to normal.

And since I'm not the High Warlock,
Whatever doesn't affect me is no longer

problem.

There's something wrong with my shampoo.

Ah, no. It's actually way better than
what I had back at the Institute.

Where do you buy it? I don't buy it.

I brew it.

It's a special blend of Indian
sandalwood that I started mixing back in

century.

You make this?

Alexander. Mixing potions of the
cornerstone of the warlock art. I know.

just... I mean, if you can...

Wash your hair magically. Why do you go
through the trouble?

Because I enjoy taking showers.

All right, well, if you're not too busy,
can you not brew me a bottle?

Hold that thought.

Lorenzo.

What are you doing here? I didn't want
to give you the chance to avoid me.

Why would I do that? Because you thought
you could get away with sabotaging my

party. The ley line under my home was
intentionally corrupted.

I knew you were petty.

I just didn't realize you'd go this far
to make me look bad. You saw my eyes. My

magic was as useless as anyone's. An
exposed mark proves nothing.

You think I don't recognize Asmodeus'
handiwork when I see it?

I haven't seen Asmodeus in centuries.

Yet you do know him.

Far better than anyone else in this
dimension.

I know what he's capable of. More
importantly, you know how to use his

magic. If Athmonius truly escaped from
Edom, all of New York is in danger. Now,

as High Warlock, it's your... My job is
to keep my people safe, Bane. And if I

have to banish problematic warlocks to
the lower reaches of the Spiral

for their crimes, then so be it.

I know you're behind this.

And it's only a matter of time until I
prove it.

Why would Lorenzo accuse you of working
with a greater demon?

Especially one like Asmodeus.

Asmodeus and I have a history.

He's one of the few demons capable of
doing something like this.

Yeah, but we've fought greater demons
before.

But I've never seen anything like what
happened at that party.

It had to do with the ley lines.

Couldn't that mean the Sealy Queen is
involved?

What do demons have to do with ley
lines?

Healthy ley lines are the energy source
for all magic.

Sealy and warlock alike, but they can
become corrupted.

Osmodeus isn't just a greater demon.

He's the most powerful prince of hell.
And if Lorenzo's right, what happened at

the party is just the beginning.

And... and you knew him personally?

Asmodeus is my father.

Look, I'm sorry I never told you.

I was ashamed.

I knew every warlock had a demon parent.
It's Asmodeus.

Well, we have to stop him.

First, we need to track him down.

And my father, his magic is unique.

But if I can study the corrupted ley
lines, we might be able to find him.

What are we waiting for?

We need to get into Lorenzo's mansion,
and I'm afraid we'll never be able to

portal through his wards without him
knowing.

We don't always have to use magic.

Like taking a shower, right?

Breaking and entering isn't exactly like
taking a shower.

Is there anything about breaking in?

Okay. Okay, okay.

Heterotroph. Oh, come on, that one's
easy.

Any animal incapable of making its own
food.

Sounds like someone I know.

I don't need to make my own food, not
when I'm one cart away from you buying

dinner. You have it backwards. You're
one wrong answer away from buying me

dinner. Okay.

You don't even eat food.

Not yet, but I'm working on it.

It's a very slow process.

Give me a second.

Sorry, are we going to eat this?

What is your problem?

Are you kidding me?

I thought enough when the vampire was
just sleeping.

Now you're shacking up.

Oh yeah, we can all smell it.

It's got to be.

My sex life is none of your business.

Take it out of the table.

Some of us are trying to eat.

Simon and I aren't going anywhere.

And just because Luke let you back into
the pack doesn't mean I won't kick your

ass.

Don't ever speak to me like that again.

Hello. Hi.

Jake? Do you know any really good
mundane restaurants?

How did you get my number? Don't worry
about that. Do you know any or not?

Um, there's a really good Chinese fusion
place on Canal Street.

Ooh, wood.

Up in Williamsburg.

And then if you want pizza, there's
always Rizzo's, which... Hello, Jake?

Hey, how's Ollie?

She's fine. She got a little banged up,
but she'll be all right. Oh, good.

Is there a special occasion I don't know
about?

Not really. I'm grabbing dinner with
Jace.

Dinner?

What are you doing here, anyway?

Uh, I'm just running this case by
whoever's on duty.

I could help.

Jace will understand.

No, no, no. I gotta go. You go.

Have fun.

I pulled some surveillance footage off
the NYPD server of our nurse who got

possessed. Tim Dempsey.

I got a feeling this possession isn't
just a one -off.

Three homicides in 48 hours. All
suspects good, decent folk.

Suddenly becoming unhinged and killing
their loved ones. I'll search the

for the exact moment of Tim's
possession.

It might take all night, but it's worth
a shot.

All right.

Take it out on me.

Then you're Lightwood. I suppose you're
here to defend Magnus Bane?

No, actually, I'm here to defend you.

And I've headed the New York Institute.
It is my job to keep you safe.

What if I can prove that Magnus is
involved?

Seems like you have a conflict of
interest, you know. My interest is in

the person who corrupted your ley lines.

You have my word.

Not a very loyal boyfriend, are you?

I believe in justice, Mr. Ray.

Now, if you don't mind, I would like to
come in and take an official statement.

But of course.

You really believe that Magnus did this
out of spite?

Magnus Bane is the only warlock I know
capable of conjuring that type of

magic. Well, I assure you, if Magnus is
behind this, I will turn him over to the

clave myself.

Spoken like a true shadow hunter.

The law is hard, but it is the law.

Yes. Well, how about a toast to our new
partnership?

An excellent idea.

Scotch? Whiskey? I'll have whatever
you're having.

An old -fashioned, then? And I do mean
old -fashioned.

I've been drinking this recipe for over
200 years.

You're absolutely going to love it.

I could conjure it, but I find mixing by
hand to be the only way to achieve...

perfection.

The healings are...

Thank you.

Cheers to our new partnership.

Cheers.

Perfection, truly.

Oh, I'm glad you like it. It's my
favorite.

Wow, that place is amazing.

How did you hear about it?

Oh. You know, I hear things.

What's the name of the reservation?

The what? The reservation?

Do we need one? I could squeeze you both
in at the communal table if you're okay

with that.

Um, I don't know. What do you think? I
mean, we can go somewhere else. No, no,

this is perfect.

Okay.

Hey. Hey.

Such exquisite taste in fabric.

You have a beautiful home. I seem to
remember that you have an amazing

pot upstairs.

It's a 16th century Ming vase I procured
it from a Castilian trader when it was

still new. Incredible craftsmanship.

You have an interest in ceramics?

I dabble.

Would it be too forward of me to ask for
a tour?

Not in the least. I must show you my
Fabergé egg. It was a gift from the Tsar

himself in the spring of 1887.

Or was it 1888?

Oh, I know. It was late 19th century.

Anyway, I was at the Romanov Easter
party, and Nicholas comes up to me.

Nicholas. I can barely remember the
color of his eye.

So why are you the only one here?

I took on a little extra work so that
everybody could go out tonight.

Well, just make sure you don't burn
yourself out.

You deserve a life, too.

Yeah, well, my life is not important
right now.

You know, for a while, I felt guilty
about my role with the Circle.

I thought that joining the NYPD would
make up for it.

Did it?

For the most part.

But I stopped spending as much time with
Jocelyn.

And that's time I can't get back.

I get it.

But I don't have a Jocelyn.

Maybe that's because you're not looking.

If you don't make time for yourself,
you're not going to find him.

Oh, you called Simon for dating advice.

No, I called Simon for restaurant
advice.

Had he called me for dating advice, I
would have advised against this

Okay, not a problem.

You guys just...

Do your own thing. Ignore us.

There's no reason this has to be weird.
Yeah, right.

It's not weird.

Not weird at all.

Uh, do you want to explain an appetizer?

Sure. Um, you pick.

Okay. Can't go wrong with oysters,
right?

Uh, wrong. Crab legs?

Uh, clearly he hates crab. Thank you.
Lobster, shrimp, crawfish.

But it's not true.

I'm okay as long as there's no shells or
claws involved.

Got it. Um, okay, then the flatbread?

Burrata salad.

Let's do a burrata salad.

My favorite.

Great.

Who's up for cocktails?

Good idea. Yes. Yeah.

I'm liking this margarita. Coming from a
bartender, that's a lot.

Oh. Ketchup on fish, that's disgusting.

It is not ketchup.

It's more disgusting.

Right? Gotta go down some way, Chief.

Okay, I have kind of a personal question
for you.

Go for it.

What happens to your clothes when you,
you know... Wolf out? Yeah.

Um... Nothing good.

I've shredded some of my cutest outfits
that way.

Kind of wolf protocol to stash pairs of
pants all over town.

Smart.

Have you ever tried spandex?

Have you ever seen a wolf in spandex?
It's horrifying.

Well, my deepest condolences to your
wardrobe.

Don't worry about it.

You know, I still think I'd want to be a
werewolf over a shadow hunter.

I don't think I could remember all those
runes.

It's actually not that hard. You just
kind of stick to your favorites, like

strengths or...

Speed or Arati.

Anyway, I don't know that I'd want my
whole body covered in tattoos.

Says the girl with the butterfly tattoo.

Butterfly tattoo?

How do you know about that? It's pretty
well hidden.

You saw it after one of her
transformations?

Does this baby look familiar?

Yes. It's actually me.

El Greco was a friend of my mother's,
and he used me as his inspiration.

Oh, of course.

Needless to say, growing up in Toledo
during the Siglo de Oro was quite the

experience.

Needless to say.

Did you hear something?

No?

Sure, I heard something.

Strange.

What was going on down there?

Whoever did this is definitely from
Edom.

But judging by the energy signature,
it's not my father.

That's a good thing, right?

I'm afraid not. This magic is very old
and very evil.

The demon responsible is as powerful as
they come.

Not like anything I've seen before.

So worse than Asmodeus.

What's worse?

Who was it that you sacrificed?

My husband.

And how did you do that?

I strangled him with an extension cord.

Wonderful.

You must have loved him a great deal.

Yes, I did.

But my love for him was nothing compared
to my love for you.

And I love you, too.

Together we will usher in a new dawn.

Still as bad as yesterday, Mr. Harris?

Turns out it was just a freak power
surge.

A couple tweaks to the grid and Con Ed
says it shouldn't happen again.

Is Mr. Harris okay?

He'll pull through.

And everyone else?

Patient upstairs on a ventilator.

Oh, God.

It's all my fault.

Katerina, you had no way of knowing this
would happen.

This proves Lorenzo's mansion wasn't the
only place affected.

We have to get back to the Institute.

Well, the food was great. It was just
amazing. Thank you.

Yeah, anytime.

See you guys.

That was a nice save, the way you asked
for the check. That could have been

awkward. Could have been.

Simon, about the tattoo.

Look, you don't have to apologize.

I wasn't going to.

I was single at the time.

I know.

I just assume that pretty much everyone
is slept to taste at this point. It's

only a matter of time before I sleep
within myself, I guess. That's not the

point I'm trying to make.

It doesn't matter who we've been with in
the past.

What's important is who we're with now.

I want to be with you.

Are you okay?

I'm fine.

Look, I'm sorry I didn't tell you about
Maya.

I'm not upset about Maya.

Not really.

I don't understand why I seem to be the
only girl that you don't want to be

with. Is it me?

Yeah, it is.

I've never felt about anyone the way I
feel about you, Clary.

When I met you, I thought I knew
everything.

But you show me that there is so much
more to being a shadow hunter than just

killing demons.

Come on, you still think you know
everything.

Well, except restaurants, apparently.

I'm serious.

You're special.

Everything about you.

Like how you scrunch your face when
you're thinking.

Like how you always double knot your
shoes before you train.

Like how you always have a piece of
charcoal in your pocket.

But more than that, it's how you always
see the best in people.

And me.

And I am scared that if we take things
too quickly,

that you're going to see something in me
that you don't like.

We're gonna use the angelic core.

Are you serious?

This is our only chance to stop the
corruption.

We're gonna flood the ley lines with
angelic energy, put an end to this once

for all.

So your plan is basically divine Drano.

The only problem is the Institute is not
built on any ley lines.

At least not yet.

That's where Magnus comes in.

I know a spell that'll allow me to
temporarily divert the flow of the magic

the core. Once the ley line's in place,
you'll tap into the core.

And we can kiss demonic corruption
goodbye.

Right. And what happens if a demon
shockwave hits while you're using your

The core will be totally exposed.

Well, that doesn't look good.

If we're lucky, it'll only vaporize the
Institute.

What if we're not lucky?

Better not to think about that. This is
a risk we have to take. The whole point

of building the Institute away from the
ley lines... was to avoid something like

this. Why not just quarantine the
warlocks outside the city? Because

innocent people out of their homes isn't
going to solve anything.

Neither will blowing up the Institute.

That's enough!

This isn't just about the warlocks. You
know what happened at the hospital.

Everyone is at risk.

We are under siege by a greater demon.

It is our job to solve this problem.

Evacuate the Institute.

Essential personnel stay behind.

You sure about this?

You have a better idea?

I could try it on my own. It'd be far
more difficult, but at least you'll be

safe. Let you hog all the glory.

Maybe.

As long as you're here, I'm not going
anywhere.

Well, then let's get started.

A little further.

Alexander, I can't hold it much longer.
Do it now!

I can't.

Someone's locked me out.

Come on, move it.

You don't want to be inside if this goes
bad.

We're not going anywhere.

Your orders were to evacuate.

Yeah, I know the orders.

Look, I'm all for helping out the
Downworlders, but we can't let Lightwood

destroy the Institute to do it. Without
it, we'll leave New York completely

defenseless. That is not your call to
make. Doesn't matter.

I've already locked him out of the
system.

Then I'll lock him.

Now.

Not possible.

Even if it was, my answer would still be
the same.

Chandler? No, not anytime soon.

Too late.

Alex! You need to release the energy
manually.

Well, whatever you do, do it quickly!

I'm working on it. It's rusted.

Rusted shot.

What happened?

The minor setback.

But the altar is safe, that's all that
matters.

You did it.

Yeah.

Well, maybe... Maybe I got a little
help.

It's quite the drink.

It's been quite the day.

I'm guessing Raj and his friends didn't
take their banishment well.

All Wrangel Island isn't banishment.
It's more like character building.

Lorenzo Ray could use a bit of character
building.

He's been taking all the credit for
fixing the ley lines.

Such an ass.

Whatever corrupted those ley lines is
still out there.

Lorenzo has to stop blaming you for
being his motive son.

I'll protect the demon who's
responsible.

Alexander, about my father, I hope you
don't think less of me.

Are you kidding?

I don't care who your dad is.

I care who you are.

And you're the furthest thing from a
greater demon.

Chase.

It's 3 a .m. What are you still doing
awake?

I was going to ask you the same
question, but how did that date go?

It went fine.

I'm just not tired.

Look, Izzy, when you go get some sleep,
I can keep searching through this

footage for you.

It's not the searching I need help with.

Check this out.

seen possession like that before.

Just keep watching.

What kind of a demon is that?

I have no idea.

Whatever it is, we have to stop.

It's open!

I said it's...

Who's this to get?

You guys aren't here to rent boats,
right?

I'm afraid not.

We're here to help you move out.

Permanently.

Seriously? I mean, I'm pretty sure it
was you wolves that put me there in the

first place.

Well, now we're putting you out.

Come on.

I know you guys are territorial, but
this is stupid.

Luke's going to be pissed when he hears
about this. Luke's not going to find out

about it. You're going to leave here on
your own.

Or there's going to be trouble.

I'm not going anywhere.

Hey.

Really?

Simon, watch out!

Holy

crap.

What just happened?

Oh my God.

Your forehead.
