Rating ****.5 (4.5 stars)
I would like to start off by saying that this episode was not as good as the season opener, it was a very solid episode I thought that but it wasn’t as good as the episode last week for me. The episode started the Jace and Valentine popping up through the whole that we see them going through at the end of last week’s episode. We learned that Jace was cursed with demon blood by Valentine, while Jocelyn was pregnant with him. The institute agreed to try and find the people that Valentine is going to get for his team, but the institute is going to try and get to them first and Alec and Izzy find one who refuses to fight a girl, but Izzy ends up beating him. Clary wants to help find Jace and bring him back, but the team at the institute think that she is too involved to help them, and she has not mastered her Shadow Hunters skills yet. Raphael threatens to kill Simon, and so he and Magnus go and try and find Camille to save Simon’s life. There is a stone that can put Alec under a spell, but we won’t come back and he could die if he goes too far below the surface, and Izzy warns him that she will kill him if he goes too far below the surface. The episode ended with Clary and Jace or Alec I am not really sure which one it was, running away from Valentine, Clary had just told him that she really can’t see the future as she had told him before when she was under a spell.
There were some great quotes in this episode here are just a few of them. “”I want you to know that I’m here too, we all are.”-Jocelyn” Your mom is the sanest person I know.”-Simon “Alec Jace is my brother too!” Clary “You have me and that’s not going to change.”-Izzy, I recognize that Ming dynasty, of course, I recognize that it’s mine.” Magnus “I’m not a mundane I’m not a shadow hunter I’m no one special.”-Clary “I’m a vampire and I’m going to prove it!”-Simon
There were something that I liked about this episode and one of them was that Izzy Lightwood was a bad ass, kicking ass and taking names and I love that about her. The other thing was that I liked how it moved the story along, sure it was slow paced at points moving the story along and we learned more about the backstory. Character development yes still slow, it was still there and we learned more about why the characters on the show are the way that they are. Overall, I felt like it was a very good episode, not a perfect one but a great one.
My one big dislike about this episode was the pacing of this episode, it felt like it was disjointed to me because it was great in some places, and very slow in some places and I felt like they could have really tightened it up. The slow parts with the pacing were very hard to watch for me, because they didn’t really move the pace forward enough quickly enough for me.
