I would like to start off this review with a small disclaimer by saying that I have not finished the first season of this show, but I did watch the first four and then I just went right to the second season of the show, I have never read the book series yet either so I just jumped right in on the show. The main plot of this episode was the fact that Valentine was starting a war with the other Shadow Hunters, and basically all hell broke loose and everyone must prepare for battle. Alec says that he will do anything to get Jace back on their side, and his mother says that she feels that adopting him ruined their family. Clary was reunited with her mother, and in my opinion, it was the most heartfelt moment one of them any way that this show has done yet. One of the most shocking things in the episode was that Jace and Clary are brother and sister, and I feel that this was something that I should have seen coming but I feel like it explains so much about their relationship. It was revealed that Simon was a vampire, and he was taken by people and locked in a room; when Clary found him Jocelyn had locked both of them in the room but they had gotten out. Jace and Valentine towards the end of the episode pop up in New York City, I believe that he is looking for Clary, but he ends up in a fight with some vampires and Valentine asks him to shoot a female one. The episode ended with Jocelyn shooting an arrow at Jace, and he disappears and before the end, he disappears Clary and Simon try and ask her to stop.
This was an episode with some quotable moments here are just a few of them. “It’s my life I had a right to know.” –Clary “Is it true is Jonathan alive?”- Jocelyn “I spent my life mourning a father I thought died before my eyes.”-Jace “You think there would be a book, Shadow Hunters for dummies.”-Simon “I’m a vampire I’m running slow for you!”-Simon
I loved this episode for a lot of reasons, and I thought that it was a very solid season opener for the show because it really moved the plot along, and it opened up a new story line that I think they will carry on all season. I really liked the fact that you found out more about the story line, and the characters and how they related to each other. I loved the family dynamic, and how much Alec and Izzy as well as the rest of the people in the institute have a love for Jace, and how much they want him back in their lives. The ultimate battle of good vs evil was something that I love, yes I know that it is very much a stereotype but I feel like this show does it very well. Going hand in hand with the family dynamic I loved seeing Jocelyn and Clary together again, I love the dynamic of the two of them had. Jace and Valentine I feel had a very interesting dynamic, and I can’t wait to see where the show goes with the two of them as characters and a relationship. There was nothing that I didn’t not like about the episode.
