- 0:05Speaker 1: Ye know, its.
- 0:26Speaker 2: Welcome to book watchers or Devin and I literally fuck
- 0:29Speaker 2: around for an hour or two before we actually talked
- 0:33Speaker 2: about the book.
- 0:34Speaker 3: You're right, You're right, because that's what happens. Because I
- 0:39Speaker 3: when when you're lady and JOm, when you're sick for
- 0:41Speaker 3: five days and you feel like you see the death,
- 0:45Speaker 3: the death at your doorway, be like come to me,
- 0:48Speaker 3: and I'm.
- 0:48Speaker 1: Like, no, no, I'm too I'm too young.
- 0:53Speaker 2: Yeah, and you miss people. He's being dramatic, but you know,
- 0:57Speaker 2: I'm I can agree with him there because we actually
- 1:02Speaker 2: took a break. We took a week off because the
- 1:07Speaker 2: neighborhood I live in. I live in San Antonio and
- 1:10Speaker 2: I live on the west side of San Antonio. If
- 1:11Speaker 2: you're from San Antonio, you know what's wrong, you know,
- 1:16Speaker 2: you know. And unfortunately, there was a bad shootout in
- 1:22Speaker 2: my neighborhood. Like, honestly, my neighborhood's not great, but it's
- 1:26Speaker 2: not that it's never really been that bad. And there
- 1:31Speaker 2: was this one of my neighbors got into a bit
- 1:32Speaker 2: of a shootout and well, unfortunately for me, several of
- 1:37Speaker 2: the shots went wild and they came through my house
- 1:41Speaker 2: and luckily from the angle that they came in. They
- 1:44Speaker 2: came in on the opposite side of the house, so
- 1:46Speaker 2: my bedroom here kind of this did not get hit.
- 1:53Speaker 2: Nothing came through my walls back here because they came
- 1:55Speaker 2: from that side, but they did go through one of
- 1:58Speaker 2: my cousin's rooms and went through our living room wall,
- 2:02Speaker 2: and two of the shots almost hit both of the
- 2:05Speaker 2: cousins I hit I live with. And this happened in
- 2:11Speaker 2: the middle of the night on like a Monday night,
- 2:13Speaker 2: and uh police recalled. The whole block was was completely
- 2:18Speaker 2: courting off. And I did not sleep for the rest
- 2:21Speaker 2: of that night because I was just like I was
- 2:23Speaker 2: lying in bed over here, just like stirring up the ceiling, like,
- 2:25Speaker 2: oh my gosh, it's going to happen again. And I
- 2:28Speaker 2: could not sleep properly for the next for the following
- 2:31Speaker 2: few nights either, but I think it was after the
- 2:34Speaker 2: third night after that I could not. I was finally started,

- 7:50Speaker 2: I'm on it, but I don't use it.
- 7:53Speaker 1: So what we're talking about today.
- 7:56Speaker 2: Today we are continuing let me send you the I'll
- 7:59Speaker 2: share blue skyt profile with you there anyway, So today
- 8:06Speaker 2: we were continuing with the Mortal Instruments. I think the
- 8:10Speaker 2: TV show it did go as far as pretty much
- 8:15Speaker 2: it technically did go through the entire book duties, but
- 8:19Speaker 2: the way it ended was not the same way as
- 8:22Speaker 2: it ended in the in the books. But today we're
- 8:25Speaker 2: going over book three, the City of Glass. The City
- 8:28Speaker 2: of Glass kind of caught me off guard because it
- 8:32Speaker 2: was very climatic. You know, you had shadow Hunters fighting
- 8:37Speaker 2: against shadow Hunters and other shadow Hunters and downworld downworlders.
- 8:41Speaker 2: It was pretty much a civil war, and you have
- 8:46Speaker 2: other things going on, and you just think, oh, that's it.
- 8:48Speaker 2: Like I was a little I was strong. I was surprised, like, oh,
- 8:51Speaker 2: is this is the end? Like, oh no, there's actually
- 8:54Speaker 2: two more books after this.
- 8:55Speaker 1: So yeah, and you.
- 8:57Speaker 2: Also learned that Valentine is not the big bad evil
- 9:00Speaker 2: as we thought he was. You know, he was just
- 9:04Speaker 2: the the appetizer.
- 9:07Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, yeah, I was about to say that he's
- 9:09Speaker 3: basically like the appetizer.
- 9:10Speaker 2: He's the appetizer because there's someone even worse than Valentine,
- 9:14Speaker 2: and where Valentine was more of a revolutionary, the actual
- 9:18Speaker 2: big bad evil guy is a real fucking, big bad
- 9:22Speaker 2: evil guy, a fucking monster and a literal monster. Like literally,
- 9:29Speaker 2: we're actually gonna we're that person is actually going to
- 9:32Speaker 2: be revealed in this book. I will say this. It is.
- 9:38Speaker 2: I will say this about the big bad evil guy.
- 9:41Speaker 1: Mhm.
- 9:43Speaker 2: It's Clarie's brother, Jocelyn and Valentine's first son. Oh yeah,
- 9:51Speaker 2: yeah yeah, Jocelyn, Claire's mom, Valentine's ex wife. Ah. Jocelyn
- 9:57Speaker 2: and Valentine had two children. They had a boy and
- 10:01Speaker 2: then they had Clary. Now here's the thing about their son.
- 10:07Speaker 2: Jocelyn was led to believe that her son had died
- 10:13Speaker 2: during the uprising because when Valentine quote unquote unlived himself,
- 10:22Speaker 2: she thought that when he took his own life, he
- 10:25Speaker 2: had burned down their family manner, and she found remains
- 10:29Speaker 2: of what she thought belonged to her infant son. But
- 10:33Speaker 2: she knew that Valentine was not alive. I'm sorry. She
- 10:36Speaker 2: knew Valentine was still alive. That's why she ran. But
- 10:41Speaker 2: as it turns out, the real villain is their son
- 10:49Speaker 2: and boiler Alert, it's not Jase. Anyway, All this is
- 10:56Speaker 2: gonna be revealed in the books. I don't worry. That's
- 10:58Speaker 2: just a little little sinking more or however, that phrase
- 11:02Speaker 2: goes a fishing phrase, turn of phrase goes metaphor, or
- 11:05Speaker 2: whatever it is. So yeah, let's get start. Let's get
- 11:08Speaker 2: started with the story. So the story pretty much begins
- 11:11Speaker 2: as pretty much all the other stories start. Every story
- 11:14Speaker 2: in this series start like almost literally after the events
- 11:20Speaker 2: of the previous books. So where we left off in
- 11:27Speaker 2: shit now, I can't even remember what the name of
- 11:28Speaker 2: the last book was, City of Bone, because it's a
- 11:33Speaker 2: city of fire. No, no, no, City of Bones, City of Ashes,
- 11:40Speaker 2: City of Ashes. Great, now I have to double check that.
- 11:48Speaker 2: I swear. I know these books, read them like five
- 11:51Speaker 2: times each, but it's been years since I last read them.
- 11:59Speaker 2: City of Ashes.
- 12:00Speaker 3: He forgets, he forgets everything. He probably forgot what he
- 12:03Speaker 3: hate for breakfast this morning.
- 12:05Speaker 2: No, because I checked late this morning. Bitch anyway, anyway,
- 12:14Speaker 2: so where we left off in City of Ashes. In
- 12:18Speaker 2: the last book, in the City of Ashes, Clari and
- 12:21Speaker 2: Jase had thwarted Valentine from creating an army of shadow hunters,
- 12:26Speaker 2: at least temporarily, and they had also destroyed this They
- 12:31Speaker 2: had destroyed his base of operations, which was this big
- 12:33Speaker 2: cargo ship. Clary was the one who destroyed it by
- 12:37Speaker 2: using a very overpowered room that she created herself, and
- 12:42Speaker 2: it revealed that she has a very unique ability. And
- 12:45Speaker 2: it also, and this is the unique ability, is that
- 12:48Speaker 2: she can create rooms, not just regular rooms that come
- 12:53Speaker 2: from the Great Book, but she can create new never
- 12:58Speaker 2: before seen runs before and she can only do that,
- 13:02Speaker 2: but he can also supercharge standard rooms. What she'd used
- 13:08Speaker 2: on Balancine's ship was just a simple opening room. It's
- 13:11Speaker 2: an unlocking room. And when she used it, she poured
- 13:15Speaker 2: so much of her energy into it that it caused
- 13:17Speaker 2: the entire vessel to literally come apart. Nut every bolt,
- 13:22Speaker 2: every rivet, every welding line, whatever, all of it came apart,
- 13:27Speaker 2: and the boat just it just fell apart and it's
- 13:30Speaker 2: sunk into the harbor. Jace also discovered that he is
- 13:36Speaker 2: not a normal shadow hunter. He realized that he is
- 13:40Speaker 2: much stronger and faster than any normal shadow hunters. Shadow
- 13:43Speaker 2: Hunters are pretty strong and fast on their own, they
- 13:45Speaker 2: have better agility, they're a lot stronger than normal humans,
- 13:48Speaker 2: and of course they have the ability to see through
- 13:50Speaker 2: glamours and are able to perceive the down world more
- 13:54Speaker 2: easily than humans. All right, but his power is not
- 13:56Speaker 2: like Clary's is. It's more physical, hers this more angelic.
- 14:02Speaker 2: Now they had also learned that Simon, who is a
- 14:06Speaker 2: vampire now he turned into vampire the beginning at the
- 14:11Speaker 2: beginning of the of this current book, or I'm sorry,
- 14:15Speaker 2: at the beginning of the City of Vasters, and or
- 14:19Speaker 2: near the beginning and towards the end he was. He
- 14:22Speaker 2: had been injured by Valentine and in order to help, say,
- 14:26Speaker 2: to save him and keep him from uh dying, Jase
- 14:29Speaker 2: had let Simon feed on his blood. And when that
- 14:34Speaker 2: had happened and they managed to escape to escape from
- 14:36Speaker 2: Valentine's ship, they unfortunately didn't escape in time before the
- 14:42Speaker 2: sun started rising, and when it did, Simon got hit
- 14:45Speaker 2: with full sunshine, and uh well, he didn't burn. So now,
- 14:51Speaker 2: through some mystical reach, through some unknown reason that we'll
- 14:57Speaker 2: be explained later on in this book, Simon is a
- 15:00Speaker 2: day walker. Now. He's still a vampire, but he can walk.
- 15:04Speaker 2: He's still a vampire. He still needs to drink human blood,
- 15:07Speaker 2: but he can now walk in the sun. And like
- 15:11Speaker 2: I said. The reason why he's able to walk in
- 15:13Speaker 2: the sun is revealed later on in this book, and
- 15:16Speaker 2: we'll get to that.
- 15:19Speaker 1: So now the way, the use of vampires and this
- 15:23Speaker 1: is good mm.
- 15:24Speaker 2: Hmm, yeah, they really did. They did a good job.
- 15:28Speaker 2: Cassandra Claire did a good job with a lot of
- 15:29Speaker 2: the downworlders. And in the later series it turns out
- 15:35Speaker 2: there's more than just fay warlocks, vampires, and werewolves. There's
- 15:41Speaker 2: other non demonic, half human or demi human creatures out there.
- 15:46Speaker 2: So well we they will eventually be introduced. But in
- 15:49Speaker 2: the City and the Moral Instruments, it's just those four
- 15:54Speaker 2: groups of demi human creatures and they'll eventually be be introduced.
- 16:02Speaker 2: But right now, I thought, I just put point these
- 16:05Speaker 2: stuff out because they are relevant in this book, and
- 16:08Speaker 2: they are revealed. The reason why these guys have the
- 16:12Speaker 2: their newfound powers is explained, so get to get into it.
- 16:16Speaker 2: In this book, our shadow Hunter heroes are summoned to Idris,
- 16:22Speaker 2: the home country of the shadow Hunters. Now, Idris doesn't
- 16:26Speaker 2: appear on normal maps. It is a hidden nation. It's
- 16:29Speaker 2: a small nation. I believe it's supposed to be somewhere
- 16:31Speaker 2: between Germany and France. Like this small strip of land
- 16:34Speaker 2: that is hidden from the world. Idris is home to
- 16:38Speaker 2: the shadow Hunter capital city of Alacante. Alecante is where
- 16:43Speaker 2: the shadow Hunters governing body called the Clave PLTZ government.
- 16:48Speaker 2: That's where all the big decisions and laws are made,
- 16:51Speaker 2: and pretty much this is where they organize and they
- 16:57Speaker 2: organize their the entire Shadow Hunt, not just an Indrius,
- 17:01Speaker 2: but for the rest of the world as well.
- 17:04Speaker 1: UH.
- 17:05Speaker 2: The Clave had summoned the shadow Hunters at the Institute
- 17:09Speaker 2: to UH to Hdris to not not only answer for
- 17:15Speaker 2: some of the things that had happened in New York,
- 17:17Speaker 2: mainly because of what Valentine has been doing, but also
- 17:20Speaker 2: in response to the fact that Valentine has been confirmed
- 17:25Speaker 2: to be not dead and has returned. All right, So
- 17:29Speaker 2: Clary and Simon begin preparing to leave for Idris. And
- 17:35Speaker 2: the thing is is that Jace does not want Clari
- 17:37Speaker 2: to go to Idris. He's not He's very cagey. He
- 17:40Speaker 2: doesn't tell her why he doesn't want her to go.
- 17:42Speaker 2: He just keeps trying to tell her, like don't go,
- 17:46Speaker 2: like trying to convince her that it's a stupid idea
- 17:48Speaker 2: to go. Clary refuses because none of his None of
- 17:54Speaker 2: the things that he meant that he's telling makes sense.
- 17:57Speaker 2: And her motivation for going to Idris is not really
- 18:00Speaker 2: because she wants to she feels like she has anything
- 18:02Speaker 2: to answer to the Clave for, but mainly because she
- 18:05Speaker 2: believes that the secret to reviving her mother lies somewhere
- 18:10Speaker 2: in Idris. Now at this point, her mother has been
- 18:13Speaker 2: in a magically induced coma since book one. Her mother
- 18:18Speaker 2: had taken some sort of potion that put her into
- 18:21Speaker 2: some form of suspended animation, like total like sleeping beauty style,
- 18:25Speaker 2: but True Love Skiss won't wake her up, and now
- 18:30Speaker 2: she needs to look for a special book. I believe
- 18:34Speaker 2: it was called the Book of the White. It's a
- 18:37Speaker 2: spell book containing some of the most powerful white spells,
- 18:41Speaker 2: and Magnus Chase believes that it is in the hands
- 18:45Speaker 2: of a certain warlock that lives somewhere in Idris, in
- 18:48Speaker 2: the countryside of Idris. So that's one of her that's
- 18:51Speaker 2: her main that's her main motivation for going to Idris.
- 18:57Speaker 2: But Jace has been trying to keep her from going
- 19:00Speaker 2: so much the point that he actually tells her he
- 19:03Speaker 2: actually lies to her about the timeframe of when they're
- 19:06Speaker 2: going to be leaving because the Institute hired Magnus Chase
- 19:14Speaker 2: to open a portal to take him directly to Idris,
- 19:17Speaker 2: and well, they had to set time for when the
- 19:19Speaker 2: portal was going to be open, and Jace tells her, Okay, yeah,
- 19:21Speaker 2: so we're actually gonna be leaving later in the day,
- 19:23Speaker 2: so be here by this time. But in reality they
- 19:26Speaker 2: were leaving earlier in the day, and Simon ends up
- 19:30Speaker 2: showing up on time without Clary, and he gets He's
- 19:35Speaker 2: understandably upset that Jase would lie to her, but Jace
- 19:40Speaker 2: tells her, tells him that it's for her own good
- 19:42Speaker 2: because while he like, while yeah, he and the rest
- 19:49Speaker 2: of the shadow Hunters of the Institute have business to
- 19:51Speaker 2: be there because they were called by the by the Clave,
- 19:55Speaker 2: he doesn't believe that Valancine that Clary has any business
- 19:58Speaker 2: being there. It's not really a valid excuse. But before
- 20:03Speaker 2: they can even before they can even argue the matter, uh,
- 20:11Speaker 2: the shadow Hunters are attacked by a group of Forsaken.
- 20:15Speaker 2: Now the Forsaken. We're uh, the Forsaken. We're actually like
- 20:22Speaker 2: we're are actually like normal humans, but these humans have
- 20:27Speaker 2: been marked with angelic runs and the problem with the
- 20:32Speaker 2: problem with that is that humans do not have are
- 20:34Speaker 2: not physically capable of having angelic runs placed on their bodies.
- 20:40Speaker 2: If you place an angelic room with on a normal
- 20:44Speaker 2: human using a stella, it drives that person insane. So basically,
- 20:49Speaker 2: you've turned these normal humans into these mad, zombie like creatures.
- 20:54Speaker 2: All right, they'll they're vicious, they'll attack anything. Well, Valentine
- 20:58Speaker 2: sends a bunch of the Forsaken to attack being Institute,
- 21:01Speaker 2: forcing the shadow Hunters to fight back, but because of
- 21:04Speaker 2: the sheer number of them, they're forced to run through
- 21:07Speaker 2: the portal Magnus open and escape. During the fight, Simon
- 21:14Speaker 2: is injured and Louse's consciousness and Jace is forced to
- 21:20Speaker 2: grab him and pull him through the portal, which wasn't
- 21:23Speaker 2: supposed to happen because thinking about Downwolders is that they're
- 21:27Speaker 2: not allowed to enter the capital city of Alacante, and
- 21:33Speaker 2: unfortunately the portal goes directly to Alacante, so he's taken there.
- 21:42Speaker 2: Not long after that, Clary shows up. She had figured
- 21:46Speaker 2: out that they were leaving, that they were leaving early,
- 21:51Speaker 2: but she did not arrive in time. She sees the
- 21:53Speaker 2: aftermath of the battle and discovers that another Warlock that
- 21:56Speaker 2: was helping Magnus, and her mom was killed, and Magnus
- 22:02Speaker 2: is still there, pretty annoyed but still alive. She tries
- 22:06Speaker 2: to convince Magnus to open the portal again and send
- 22:08Speaker 2: her to Idris, but Magnus refuses, saying that it would
- 22:13Speaker 2: at this point, since his contract with the Institute is over,
- 22:18Speaker 2: opening another portal would be breaking shadow Hunter law. Well,
- 22:23Speaker 2: he can open portals to other places, but opening a
- 22:25Speaker 2: portal to Idris without permission would be breaking the law.
- 22:30Speaker 2: So he didn't want to risk his neck, so he said, sorry,
- 22:33Speaker 2: you're out. You should out of luck, and he takes off.
- 22:36Speaker 2: Clary's pissed, and you know, she doesn't want to give up,
- 22:40Speaker 2: so she goes back to where he had where he
- 22:42Speaker 2: had opened the portal. The way portals are open is
- 22:45Speaker 2: that he needs like a flat surface to preferably against
- 22:48Speaker 2: the wall, and he placed some warlock ruins on the wall,
- 22:53Speaker 2: and that's how the portal was opened. The thing is,
- 22:56Speaker 2: after examining the section of the wall where the portal
- 22:59Speaker 2: was open, and she starts, she gets like this instinctual
- 23:02Speaker 2: urge to draw a room of her own onto the
- 23:06Speaker 2: onto the markings on the wall, and she ends up
- 23:09Speaker 2: creating a new portal room and it real and it
- 23:13Speaker 2: reopens the gateway leading into Idris. Now Luke was there
- 23:18Speaker 2: and saw what she was doing and tries to stop
- 23:20Speaker 2: her because what she was doing is illegal. Opening a
- 23:23Speaker 2: portal into Idris without permission is not is not permissible.
- 23:28Speaker 2: Also attempting to do so it is dangerous because Idris
- 23:31Speaker 2: has very powerful wards surround encompassing the entire country. That's
- 23:36Speaker 2: why nobody knows it's there. These wards keep it hidden
- 23:39Speaker 2: and they also keep any unwonted visitors from getting in.
- 23:43Speaker 2: So when she opened the portal, it did open into
- 23:48Speaker 2: Idris because her, because her ruins are that powerful, but
- 23:51Speaker 2: the wards were still strong enough to basically shift the
- 23:55Speaker 2: destination just enough to where she won't appear in Alecante
- 23:59Speaker 2: like she tended. But she ends up getting thrown out
- 24:03Speaker 2: of the portal into the into the countryside several miles
- 24:07Speaker 2: outside of the city. Uh Luke had tried to grab
- 24:11Speaker 2: Claria before she got sucked into the portal, but he
- 24:14Speaker 2: ends up getting sucked into and they're both ejected from
- 24:17Speaker 2: the portal and land and fall directly into a lake
- 24:20Speaker 2: called Lake Lynn. I mentioned this lake because this lake
- 24:23Speaker 2: is gonna be important later on in the story. Clary
- 24:27Speaker 2: nearly drowns in the lake, but Luke is able to
- 24:31Speaker 2: pull her out, and he starts basically giving her the
- 24:35Speaker 2: Himelake maneuver, trying to force her to spit out any
- 24:38Speaker 2: water that she may have ingested, and she does, but
- 24:42Speaker 2: still Lucas concerned because Lake Lynn is actually poisonous. The
- 24:46Speaker 2: waters of Lake Lynn is poisonous. No one really knows why,
- 24:50Speaker 2: though for those who've read the story, we do know why.
- 24:56Speaker 2: But any shadow Hunter that drinks the water or ingest
- 24:59Speaker 2: that orig us the water from Lake Lynn will begin
- 25:02Speaker 2: suffering from strange hallucinations and will probably die, most likely die.
- 25:10Speaker 2: Uh So nothing, There's nothing more they can do now.
- 25:13Speaker 2: Lucas pissed because they've both illegally entered the shadow the
- 25:19Speaker 2: shadow Hunter homeland and are now going to illegally enter
- 25:22Speaker 2: the capital city. But with nothing better to do, he
- 25:27Speaker 2: tells her they start walking towards Alacante, and he said,
- 25:30Speaker 2: and he says, he knows where you can find some help.
- 25:32Speaker 2: When they get to the city. Going back to the
- 25:35Speaker 2: other shadow Hunters, Simon wakes up in a wakes up
- 25:40Speaker 2: in a house somewhere inside of Alcante. The Lightwoods and
- 25:45Speaker 2: their family have friends, have some close friends and connections
- 25:50Speaker 2: in the city, and these people in this family of
- 25:53Speaker 2: shadow Hunters basically host them while they're in the city, Simon.
- 26:00Speaker 2: Simon learns that when Jace dragged him in through the portal,
- 26:03Speaker 2: he essentially broke the law by bringing a downworlder into
- 26:06Speaker 2: Alacante because it is forbidden for downworlders like vampires. Stands
- 26:10Speaker 2: to the city still hopefully they're hoping to cover his
- 26:15Speaker 2: ass because of the extenuating circumstances. He meets several of
- 26:20Speaker 2: the shadow Hunters in the house one by one, a
- 26:23Speaker 2: guy by the name of Sebastian Verloc You will learn
- 26:29Speaker 2: we'll learn pretty quickly why those dude's a piece of shit. Uh.
- 26:33Speaker 2: While in Alacanse, Jace begins to act out of character,
- 26:38Speaker 2: like he's clear he's trying to do his best to
- 26:39Speaker 2: forget about Clary. He starts flirting with another with another
- 26:43Speaker 2: shadow Hunter in the city and kind of weird, it
- 26:46Speaker 2: kind of weirds, uh, Sebastian not Sebastian, Simon out and
- 26:50Speaker 2: some of and the other like Woods out because it's
- 26:53Speaker 2: kind of that's not really like him. But Jase reveals
- 26:58Speaker 2: to Simon that the reason why, like, what was my
- 27:07Speaker 2: trying to thought here? Jase reveals to Simon privately that
- 27:13Speaker 2: the main reason why he didn't want Clary to come
- 27:15Speaker 2: to Alecante was because since she has this very unique
- 27:21Speaker 2: ability to create ruins, she may end up becoming a
- 27:24Speaker 2: target of the Clave if she came to Alcanti, she
- 27:27Speaker 2: might be dragged into their politics and they'll just tear
- 27:30Speaker 2: her apart. So he's not happy, but nothing they can
- 27:34Speaker 2: do about it. Claria and Luke do make it to
- 27:39Speaker 2: Ala Conse, but not before Claire begins to hallucinate, and
- 27:44Speaker 2: Luke becomes more worried because now he knows for sure
- 27:47Speaker 2: that she had definitely ingested the water from Lake Lynn.
- 27:53Speaker 2: So yeah, that's as far as so he But so
- 28:06Speaker 2: he's forced to carry her the rest of the way
- 28:08Speaker 2: since she's no longer fully coherent. Uh. They make it
- 28:11Speaker 2: into Alecanti and he goes directly to the house of
- 28:14Speaker 2: a woman named a Mattus. Amattus was when he when
- 28:20Speaker 2: a Mattis finds Luke and an unconscious Clary or a
- 28:25Speaker 2: rather delirious Clary on her doorstep. She's reluctant to help
- 28:28Speaker 2: either of them because one, she's Luke's sister, and they
- 28:34Speaker 2: became a strange from each other for two reasons. Uh.
- 28:37Speaker 2: But the first and primary reason was because Luke was
- 28:40Speaker 2: originally part of the Circle and because of his association
- 28:45Speaker 2: with the Circle and Valentine, she wasn't about to abide
- 28:50Speaker 2: by that. And the other reason is also because since
- 28:53Speaker 2: Luke was infected with lycanthropy. A lot of the more
- 28:56Speaker 2: conservative shadow hunters tend to cut ties with their own
- 29:01Speaker 2: family and friends if they get turned into a downwolder.
- 29:05Speaker 2: So for like, the most common form is like like
- 29:09Speaker 2: shadow hunters. While they are resistant to diseases, they could
- 29:12Speaker 2: still be infected with likeanthropy as well as vampirism, So
- 29:18Speaker 2: if you get turned into a vampire or you get
- 29:20Speaker 2: turned into a werewolf, you're not a shadow hunter anymore.
- 29:24Speaker 2: And a lot of family, a lot of shadow hunter
- 29:27Speaker 2: families tend to cut ties with anybody that gets turned,
- 29:31Speaker 2: so it's part of the reason why. But Amatta's was
- 29:35Speaker 2: actually she used to be close friends with Jocelyn, Clarie's mother,
- 29:39Speaker 2: and when she learns what she learns that Clary is
- 29:43Speaker 2: Jocelyn's daughter, she agrees to take them both in and
- 29:46Speaker 2: helps to heal Clary. Clary unfortunately lost her stelle. That's
- 29:50Speaker 2: why she wasn't able to draw any runs on herself
- 29:52Speaker 2: to cure herself of the of the poisoning, the poison
- 29:57Speaker 2: from the lake. Going back to Simon, Going back to Simon,
- 30:05Speaker 2: they learned from Alec that Simon is to be taken
- 30:10Speaker 2: before the Clave. Now the clave we're supposed to. The
- 30:14Speaker 2: Clave summoned Simon under the pretense that they were just
- 30:19Speaker 2: gonna send them back to New York because while he's
- 30:21Speaker 2: not supposed to be an ale cante, but instead, when
- 30:24Speaker 2: he's taken before the Clave, he's handed over to the
- 30:27Speaker 2: new inquisitor, a guy named Alder Tree.
- 30:29Speaker 1: I hate him.
- 30:30Speaker 3: I hate him so much, half pint little bitch of
- 30:34Speaker 3: what drump kick is ass football.
- 30:37Speaker 2: The way he dies though, like I will say this,
- 30:41Speaker 2: Valentine ends up killing him. Yeah, Like at the same time,
- 30:45Speaker 2: it's just like, oh thank god, Like it sucks, but
- 30:48Speaker 2: oh thank god, oh thank god shot his stupid ass.
- 30:52Speaker 2: He's like he's the umbrage of the mortal instruments.
- 30:57Speaker 3: Yeah, he thinks he's all like nice and sweet, this
- 31:01Speaker 3: egg shaped looking bitch, but no he's not.
- 31:03Speaker 1: He's in a file.
- 31:05Speaker 2: Yeah, he's very first one. He's very politically Uh, he's
- 31:12Speaker 2: very politically motivated. He he was really gunning for the
- 31:15Speaker 2: inquisitor position because as an inquisitor you pretty much have
- 31:18Speaker 2: a lot of power. You have for you have power
- 31:20Speaker 2: of the whole Clave behind you. You go wherever you want.
- 31:23Speaker 2: You can, uh, basically you can. Basically you have oversight
- 31:28Speaker 2: over everything with little to know, oversight over yourself. And
- 31:31Speaker 2: that's a position that he was coveting, and now that
- 31:34Speaker 2: he has it, he's pretty much gonna do whatever he
- 31:36Speaker 2: can to make like the Clave do with what he wants.
- 31:39Speaker 2: So alder Tree ends up taking uh, ends up taking
- 31:45Speaker 2: Simon into custody and put and puts him and starts
- 31:49Speaker 2: questioning him about you know, his sire and who transformed
- 31:54Speaker 2: him may. Basically, the the interrogation was meant to try
- 31:57Speaker 2: and figure out how Simon became a day walker, because
- 32:01Speaker 2: they can't really allow someone like Simon to go running
- 32:04Speaker 2: around because the fact that vampires are still weak against
- 32:08Speaker 2: the sun is something that they don't want changing ever,
- 32:11Speaker 2: because if vampires can suddenly walk into daylight, well that's
- 32:15Speaker 2: going to problems because if one vampire can start walking
- 32:20Speaker 2: into daylight. What's gonna happen if others could exactly? You know,
- 32:24Speaker 2: were wolves are bad enough, though were wolves are a
- 32:27Speaker 2: lot more tend to be a lot more easier to manage,
- 32:30Speaker 2: but vampires Jesus, so uh. The inquisitor does reveal to
- 32:39Speaker 2: Simon that he doesn't intend to send him home and
- 32:41Speaker 2: ends up having Simon placed in a specialized cell, one
- 32:45Speaker 2: that's covered in ruins and religious symbols that are meant
- 32:49Speaker 2: to contain him as a vampire. So like silver and
- 32:52Speaker 2: since Simon is Jewish ironic, it's ironically ironically he's Jewish,
- 32:57Speaker 2: so crucifixes don't work on him. So they start putting
- 32:59Speaker 2: stars David's all over the cell, like they carved star
- 33:03Speaker 2: of David's into the cell, and other like scriptures from
- 33:06Speaker 2: the Torah and things like that, And so now Simon
- 33:09Speaker 2: can't get out, which I thought was hilarious because the
- 33:13Speaker 2: first time that happened, like some which I first time,
- 33:16Speaker 2: they realized that Simon's not affected by Christian symbology like
- 33:20Speaker 2: other vampires are. He's only affected by Jewish symbology. I
- 33:24Speaker 2: thought that was funny, But at the same time, that's
- 33:26Speaker 2: that's clever, that's clever like, oh he does, Oh he's Jewish. St.
- 33:32Speaker 2: David Like yeah, the first time, the first time that
- 33:37Speaker 2: the that the Lightwood Father met uh had met Simon.
- 33:43Speaker 2: He wasn't really happy that Simon was in the institute.
- 33:46Speaker 2: So we pulled out a crucifix and tried to scare
- 33:48Speaker 2: Simon off, but Simon just reaches out plucks the crucifix
- 33:51Speaker 2: from his hand. He's like wrong religion, bro Oh that
- 33:55Speaker 2: was I thought that was funny as hell. And Lightwood
- 34:00Speaker 2: Senior over here is just like look, I thought he
- 34:02Speaker 2: was gonna blow a gasket like dial up tone and
- 34:06Speaker 2: just like what like a funk like anyway, So and
- 34:16Speaker 2: he learned. He does learn from another prisoner within the
- 34:19Speaker 2: within the cell from an adjacent cell that the shadow
- 34:22Speaker 2: Hunters were preparing for his cell since that since that morning.
- 34:28Speaker 2: So they basically once they found out that Simon was there,
- 34:33Speaker 2: they had no intention of letting him go.
- 34:39Speaker 1: Uh.
- 34:39Speaker 2: Going back to Clary, she does wait, she does eventually
- 34:42Speaker 2: wake up, and she's uh. She finds herself in a
- 34:46Speaker 2: Mattis's house. A Mattis Bring tells her that Luke had
- 34:50Speaker 2: to leave because he had to leave the city because
- 34:54Speaker 2: if he's found inside Alcante, he would get arrested and
- 34:58Speaker 2: possibly killed. So so for right now, she's to stay
- 35:05Speaker 2: put within Amttus's house, but Clary does not. Claire doesn't
- 35:10Speaker 2: want to stay put. She wants to go out and
- 35:12Speaker 2: find Jason, get started on and start working on the
- 35:15Speaker 2: reason why she's there, to find a cure for her mother.
- 35:18Speaker 2: But Matthas tells her that she's not. She's expressly forbidden
- 35:23Speaker 2: from leaving because if she's found, she may be arrested
- 35:27Speaker 2: because she entered the city without permission. Though honestly, though
- 35:33Speaker 2: technically okay, aside from portaling there without permission and okay,
- 35:37Speaker 2: here we go, do you get cool? Either way, there's
- 35:47Speaker 2: a risk that Clary may get arrested since she entered
- 35:50Speaker 2: the city illegally. Still, Mattis gives her some clothes to
- 35:56Speaker 2: change into, and while Clarire is starting to change, she
- 35:58Speaker 2: rummages through some of one of the maps's old chests
- 36:01Speaker 2: and finds old some old shadow hunter gear. Shadow Hunters
- 36:06Speaker 2: tend to wear like this, all leather like black leather gear.
- 36:11Speaker 2: It's very uh, it's very like utilitarian and very like useful.
- 36:17Speaker 2: So it provides them with enough armor and it also
- 36:20Speaker 2: makes things, makes them, makes things easier for them when
- 36:23Speaker 2: they're out in the field. Uh. So she puts on
- 36:25Speaker 2: the old gear and finds that it that it fits,
- 36:29Speaker 2: and she decides, all right, cool, I'm out. So she
- 36:32Speaker 2: sneaks out of the Mason's house and uh gets some directions,
- 36:36Speaker 2: and she gets directions to the house that the Lightfood
- 36:41Speaker 2: family would have been staying in, and she shows up.
- 36:45Speaker 2: She walks right up, marches right up to the door,
- 36:48Speaker 2: knocks on the door and she's like, let me you sons.
- 36:53Speaker 2: She just knocks politely, and when Isabelle opens the door,
- 36:56Speaker 2: she's like, oh shit, like oh shit, like you're not
- 37:03Speaker 2: supposed to be here, and Claria is like, I know
- 37:06Speaker 2: I'm not supposed to be here, but I'm here anyway.
- 37:08Speaker 2: Wor's Jace and like, ah, he's not here, She's like
- 37:12Speaker 2: and Claire's like bullshit. Barges in and the thing is
- 37:16Speaker 2: before she can make it two feet into the house, like,
- 37:18Speaker 2: Isabelle calls out to Sebastian to stop her, and Clara
- 37:23Speaker 2: has a moment of deja vu because once when Sebastian
- 37:26Speaker 2: moves to block her way, he moves so fast that
- 37:29Speaker 2: he can't she barely see him move and then when
- 37:33Speaker 2: she gets a good look at him, she sees she
- 37:35Speaker 2: looks at his face, She's like, have I seen this, dude?
- 37:39Speaker 2: There's like this. She's overcome with this overwhelming sense of
- 37:42Speaker 2: familiar familiarity with Sebastian. But either way Sebastian, She's like,
- 37:48Speaker 2: I'm here to see Jays And while Isabelle tries to
- 37:51Speaker 2: like double down on like, oh, he's not here, Sebastian's like, oh, yeah,
- 37:54Speaker 2: he's upstairs. So Clari goes upstairs, but he finds she
- 37:59Speaker 2: finds Ja like making out with another shadow Hunter girl.
- 38:04Speaker 2: And this is one of the since at this point,
- 38:07Speaker 2: like since to them, they still think that they're they
- 38:12Speaker 2: still believe that their brother and sister. But she's kind
- 38:15Speaker 2: of overcome with some like sense of betrayal and a
- 38:18Speaker 2: little bit of jealousy. Yeah, and I'm like, girl, you
- 38:22Speaker 2: think he's he's your brother, Like, get get the fuck
- 38:27Speaker 2: out of here. They end up she and jas d
- 38:31Speaker 2: up getting into an argument, and the thing is is
- 38:36Speaker 2: that before she could leave, and she tries to leave,
- 38:39Speaker 2: but before that happens, Alex shows up again and uh
- 38:45Speaker 2: and wants to speak with Jase, and Uh, they end
- 38:52Speaker 2: up making Clarie leave. So she ends up leaving and
- 38:54Speaker 2: going back to a Matthis's house. And uh, when she leaves,
- 38:58Speaker 2: Alex tells that al tells them, I should say, Alex,
- 39:01Speaker 2: it's not Alex. Alec with the sea. She tells him
- 39:07Speaker 2: that he tells Jace that he found out that Simon
- 39:11Speaker 2: did not make it back to New York and that
- 39:14Speaker 2: he's still somewhere in Alecante.
- 39:19Speaker 3: Uh.
- 39:20Speaker 2: Simon, still being still in prison, is further interrogated, and
- 39:24Speaker 2: now the interrogation is more to figure out why is
- 39:28Speaker 2: he a day walker? So they're now really pressing him
- 39:31Speaker 2: to figure out how he became, how he got his
- 39:33Speaker 2: ability to walk in the daylight. And Jace, now I'm sorry,
- 39:37Speaker 2: not Jase. Simon suspects the reason why he's able to
- 39:43Speaker 2: why he's now able to walk in the sunlight, and
- 39:45Speaker 2: that has something to do with Jace.
- 39:56Speaker 1: All right, can tell you, sorry, don't give me that look.
- 39:59Speaker 2: Don't look.
- 40:00Speaker 3: Could beque m anyway anyway.
- 40:06Speaker 2: So the main reason, uh so, the main reason that
- 40:09Speaker 2: Simon believes that the that he's able to walk in
- 40:11Speaker 2: the sun was because of Jace. The only because before
- 40:15Speaker 2: he fed on Jase, he could not walk in the
- 40:17Speaker 2: sunlight like any vampire. But then after he fed on
- 40:21Speaker 2: Jase's blood, He's suddenly able to walk in the sunlight.
- 40:24Speaker 2: He doesn't know why, but it has something to do
- 40:26Speaker 2: with Jase.
- 40:27Speaker 1: Yeah, to tell him that.
- 40:31Speaker 2: The thing is though the inquisitor, dumb bitch, he's a
- 40:36Speaker 2: he's that kind of like dude who's very full of himself.
- 40:39Speaker 2: He reveals, like he ends up letting slip that he
- 40:43Speaker 2: plans to blame the Lightwood family for the whole thing
- 40:47Speaker 2: with Valentine, you know. Yeah, and his his motivation is
- 40:54Speaker 2: that he wants them to He basically wants to use
- 40:56Speaker 2: them as a scapegoat and as a way to like
- 40:59Speaker 2: get other shadow the other shadow hunters to truck put
- 41:02Speaker 2: their trust more in the clave, and also to dissuade
- 41:06Speaker 2: anybody from turning to h to Valentine's side, like any
- 41:10Speaker 2: old like more traditional families, because a lot of the
- 41:12Speaker 2: more traditional families kind of agree with Valentine because what
- 41:16Speaker 2: he wants to do is just basically purge the world
- 41:18Speaker 2: of any and all purge the world of any and
- 41:23Speaker 2: all downworlders. Fay vampires wear wolves and warlocks and make
- 41:29Speaker 2: it to where basically flip it to where the world
- 41:32Speaker 2: isn't is under the control of shadow Hunters instead of
- 41:35Speaker 2: them hiding in the shadows, so may basically reveal themselves
- 41:40Speaker 2: to humanity and do and take more stringent measures to
- 41:48Speaker 2: fit to stop demons from entering our world. Is what
- 41:51Speaker 2: they're doing right now. While it's effective, they they're still
- 41:55Speaker 2: forced to live in the shadows. But still he wanted
- 42:04Speaker 2: to Still Aldertree wants to accuse the Lightwoods of still
- 42:08Speaker 2: being loyal to Valentine, and he proposed that Simon testify
- 42:13Speaker 2: against them and tells him that and tells the rest
- 42:16Speaker 2: of the clave that the light Woods and that that
- 42:21Speaker 2: he was associated with the Lightwoods and Valentine. And he
- 42:25Speaker 2: basically he's given basically testify lie before the court that
- 42:30Speaker 2: the Lightwoods and Valentine are in cahoots. And if he
- 42:34Speaker 2: does that, he'd be released and allowed to go back
- 42:37Speaker 2: to his family in New York. They won't liar, liar,
- 42:42Speaker 2: pants on fire. Oh his pants are given moment fire
- 42:46Speaker 2: once Valentine then dead.
- 42:49Speaker 1: Mm hmm.
- 42:55Speaker 2: Anyway, when Claire leaves, going back to Clary, Clary, sorry,
- 43:10Speaker 2: I'm sorry, were you still no?
- 43:13Speaker 1: Don't mind being just being.
- 43:19Speaker 2: Sorry? No, I was like I was catching up on
- 43:21Speaker 2: like where on my notes, trying to like convince them
- 43:24Speaker 2: a bit more so we can get.
- 43:26Speaker 1: Go for it while you look over your notes, give
- 43:29Speaker 1: me a second.
- 43:30Speaker 2: If you find the.
- 43:31Speaker 1: Book, you find the regular book, get it for me next.
- 43:40Speaker 1: That's it.
- 43:42Speaker 2: It's okay, that's fine. I love you all right.
- 43:54Speaker 1: Let me know what you guys get for dinner night,
- 43:56Speaker 1: because I'll send Sean.
- 43:58Speaker 2: Ksa.
- 44:00Speaker 1: Okay, continue, sorry, kay, Gucci.
- 44:13Speaker 2: Cool coo cool. I caught up a bit anyway. So,
- 44:16Speaker 2: after running out of the Lightwood House, Clarie starts making
- 44:20Speaker 2: her way back to a Matsis's house, but then she
- 44:22Speaker 2: finds that she realizes that Sebastian followed her. Oh God,
- 44:29Speaker 2: do you think you think the whole thing with Jason
- 44:32Speaker 2: Clary's cringe right now? The whole thing with Sebastian is
- 44:36Speaker 2: hell a cringe. You'll find out why, and you'll find
- 44:39Speaker 2: out why. So Sebastian followed her and insisted on and
- 44:46Speaker 2: helping her get back to a Matti's house. When they
- 44:49Speaker 2: reach a Matsis's house, Sebastian expresses his desire to get
- 44:54Speaker 2: to know Clary better, but she refuses because she's not
- 44:57Speaker 2: really in the right headspace. And also kind of weirdo. Yeah,
- 45:02Speaker 2: kind of weirdo, but either way. She returns to the
- 45:06Speaker 2: house and the Mattis. She finds out at Mattis is angry.
- 45:09Speaker 2: At is angry, but not with Clary, but more with
- 45:12Speaker 2: herself because she feels that she herself can't really do
- 45:15Speaker 2: any good when she's wanted, like when someone wants to
- 45:19Speaker 2: or whatever. She's having a bit of like a little
- 45:21Speaker 2: pity party for herself. She sends Clariy to bed. The
- 45:26Speaker 2: next morning she she's woken up. She's woken up by Sebastian,
- 45:30Speaker 2: who tells her that he knows where to find the
- 45:34Speaker 2: warlock that she was looking for, a guy named Ragner
- 45:37Speaker 2: fell Now, and he agrees to take her to him.
- 45:42Speaker 2: Going back to Simon, Simon in the middle of the
- 45:46Speaker 2: night is woken up by Jace, who had come to
- 45:48Speaker 2: rescue him. He tracked down where Simon was and tries
- 45:51Speaker 2: to get him out, but Simon tells Jace that what
- 45:55Speaker 2: the Inquisitor is planning to do, and but Jason is like,
- 46:01Speaker 2: don't worry about it, We'll get you out of the city,
- 46:03Speaker 2: but Simon refuses to go with him because he fears
- 46:06Speaker 2: that if he leaves that might implicate that that might
- 46:10Speaker 2: be used as an implication that the Lightwoods are working
- 46:15Speaker 2: with Valentine because if big if Simon escapes, well who
- 46:19Speaker 2: who else in the city would help a vampire escape
- 46:21Speaker 2: from the Clave's custody The Lightwoods?
- 46:25Speaker 1: Yeah, so.
- 46:37Speaker 2: Uh so for right now, So for right now. Jase
- 46:47Speaker 2: decides to leave Simon, agrees to leave Simon in the cell,
- 46:51Speaker 2: and departs without anybody seeing him.
- 46:54Speaker 1: Ah.
- 46:56Speaker 2: Sebastian and Clary make their way out outside of ale
- 47:00Speaker 2: Conti to a little cottage in the countryside where ragner
- 47:03Speaker 2: Fell is supposed to be leaving and it's supposed to
- 47:06Speaker 2: be living. They arrived, They arrive at the cottage, but
- 47:14Speaker 2: just as they're about to enter the cottage, the door
- 47:17Speaker 2: opens and outcomes Magnus Pain of all people, like, oh,
- 47:22Speaker 2: Magnus is here. Before any of them can say anything,
- 47:25Speaker 2: Magnus cast a spell on Sebastian, freezing him in place.
- 47:30Speaker 1: I love Magnus so much.
- 47:33Speaker 2: He's he has that like sassy gate energy that I
- 47:39Speaker 2: thrive to embody, just the amount of sass that just
- 47:45Speaker 2: radiates off of Magnus.
- 47:47Speaker 1: I love. I love him so much. He's one. He's
- 47:50Speaker 1: my probably my favorite character in there.
- 47:52Speaker 2: Yeah, he's one of my favorites too, uh, but Magnus. So,
- 47:57Speaker 2: Magnus freezes Sebastian in place because he wanted to talk
- 48:00Speaker 2: in private with Clary. He tells her that ragner Fell
- 48:04Speaker 2: was killed by demons sent by Valentine who were looking
- 48:07Speaker 2: for the Book of the White, and as it turns out,
- 48:13Speaker 2: the Book with the White is most likely hidden in
- 48:16Speaker 2: the library in the Whalen Manner And for those of you,
- 48:22Speaker 2: if you guys, remember, Jace originally thought his family name
- 48:26Speaker 2: was Whaland and he actually grew up in the Whalen Manor, So,
- 48:31Speaker 2: as it turns out, the Book of the White may
- 48:33Speaker 2: have been in that in that fucking house this entire time.
- 48:39Speaker 2: The book also contains the antidote Joscelyn needs, but Magnus
- 48:43Speaker 2: couldn't go to the manor because it's war because it's warded,
- 48:47Speaker 2: so he told Clary that Jace could enter the manor.
- 48:51Speaker 2: Magnus tells Clary that the only person that could enter
- 48:53Speaker 2: the manor and get the book would be Jace, So
- 48:56Speaker 2: she's gonna need to take Jase back. She's going to
- 48:59Speaker 2: need to go get Jason to help her get the
- 49:00Speaker 2: book and after they get the book, she just needs
- 49:04Speaker 2: to send it his way and he'll be able to
- 49:05Speaker 2: make the answer for Jocelyn. So Magnus releases Sebastian from
- 49:09Speaker 2: the spell and Clary convinces them to go back to
- 49:13Speaker 2: the city. When they're on their way to ale Conse,
- 49:17Speaker 2: they stopped at the ruins of the house for Valentine
- 49:19Speaker 2: used to live with Jocelyn, And this part makes me
- 49:24Speaker 2: want to gag there. Sebastian kisses Clarry, but she rejects him,
- 49:31Speaker 2: and she has this really like strong sense of wrong
- 49:35Speaker 2: Jesus really strong sense of wrongness when he did that,
- 49:40Speaker 2: And oh God, I want to tell you guys right now,
- 49:44Speaker 2: but you know, I don't want to spoil too much,
- 49:46Speaker 2: so we'll just leave it at that cross bros. Anyway,
- 49:59Speaker 2: Before they head back in Sala Conte, Sebastian spill spills
- 50:03Speaker 2: the beans about Simon and tells her and tells Clary that, oh,
- 50:07Speaker 2: he's in the city too. And the thing is is
- 50:14Speaker 2: that it hints that he didn't know that Jason hadn't
- 50:16Speaker 2: told Clary. But think about Sebastians is that he has
- 50:19Speaker 2: a tendency to drop important information when someone's trying to
- 50:23Speaker 2: hide it, and he does not do it because he's
- 50:26Speaker 2: being helpful. He's doing it because he's clearly being a dick.
- 50:29Speaker 1: Yeah, fuck this.
- 50:31Speaker 2: Guy, really like fuck him, Simon. Uh So, now that
- 50:39Speaker 2: everybody knows where he now that the Lightwoods know where
- 50:41Speaker 2: he is, they do try to help him while he's
- 50:43Speaker 2: still in the While he's still in the cell, Isabelle
- 50:48Speaker 2: sneaks begins sneaking him vials of blood so that way
- 50:53Speaker 2: he won't be able to crack under this whole little tactic.
- 50:57Speaker 2: Excuse me that all the Tree is trying to do,
- 50:58Speaker 2: and he's trying to deliberately our Simon, but they keep
- 51:02Speaker 2: bringing in blood. Not longer after that, Raphael shows up
- 51:06Speaker 2: in the form of a projection and warrens Simon that
- 51:08Speaker 2: he will be hunted by other Downwolders because of his
- 51:11Speaker 2: ability to walk in the sunlight, and for the very
- 51:14Speaker 2: least he should avoid other vampires. When Clara arrives, she's
- 51:20Speaker 2: told that Jace was that. When she arrives back into
- 51:22Speaker 2: Mantis's house, she's told that Jace is there to see her.
- 51:25Speaker 2: You know, she got mad. She gets mad at him
- 51:28Speaker 2: and they start They start arguing again, but Jase reveals
- 51:33Speaker 2: that alder tree Uh was planning on framing the Lightwoods
- 51:39Speaker 2: and what he was planning to do with Simon. And
- 51:42Speaker 2: then Clari reveals what reveals what happened to the Book
- 51:47Speaker 2: of the White where it is, and that she needs
- 51:49Speaker 2: him to go with him back to the Whalen Manor
- 51:52Speaker 2: in order to get it before Valentine can Uh. He agrees,
- 51:56Speaker 2: and Clary opens a portal and takes the direct and
- 51:59Speaker 2: takes the both of them directly to the Whalen Manner.
- 52:01Speaker 2: Ah they go using since he's I guess, since the
- 52:05Speaker 2: wards are are keyed to his blood, he's able to
- 52:09Speaker 2: get into the into the manner and they would go
- 52:12Speaker 2: through the library and find the and find the Book
- 52:17Speaker 2: of the White. But while they were looking, they end
- 52:20Speaker 2: up triggering a mechanism that opens a pass a secret passageway,
- 52:25Speaker 2: and curious, they go down into this cellar. It is
- 52:30Speaker 2: there that they find cells, and in one of them
- 52:35Speaker 2: they find a living breathing angel.
- 52:40Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 52:42Speaker 2: This angel, Yeah, this angel unfortunately would had been brutally
- 52:48Speaker 2: tortured and held prisoner in the Whaleen Manner by Valentine
- 52:53Speaker 2: for decades for decades now.
- 52:58Speaker 3: And.
- 53:00Speaker 2: When they come into when they approach the angel, and
- 53:02Speaker 2: they look and they look, and they look at him.
- 53:05Speaker 2: The Angel looks back at them. But the thing is
- 53:08Speaker 2: that the poor guy, his eyes were uh, his eyes
- 53:12Speaker 2: had been gouged out, so he's he has no eyes
- 53:15Speaker 2: in his sockets. But even still, it seems like they
- 53:17Speaker 2: could tell he's looking right at them. And when he
- 53:20Speaker 2: looks at them, they they can see his memories. It's
- 53:26Speaker 2: like he's he's sharing. It's like this is how the
- 53:28Speaker 2: angel communicates with them. It tells, it shows them what
- 53:32Speaker 2: had happened. And in this like dream state, they see
- 53:36Speaker 2: they both see Valentine being offered blood from a demon
- 53:42Speaker 2: so he could give it to a child that can
- 53:44Speaker 2: a great achieve greater power, and the vision shifts and
- 53:48Speaker 2: they see Joscelyn claiming, uh. They see a vision of
- 53:51Speaker 2: Joscelyn claiming that she can't love a child that was
- 53:54Speaker 2: transformed into a monster. And when the vision ends, she
- 54:00Speaker 2: realized that it wasn't the first time the Angel showed
- 54:02Speaker 2: her those kind of dreams, and feeling sorry for the angel,
- 54:07Speaker 2: Clary quickly changes the rooms around the angel and release him,
- 54:11Speaker 2: and Jace gives the angel a seraph blade and right
- 54:17Speaker 2: up for that as soon as the angel takes the
- 54:18Speaker 2: saraph blade, he stabs himself with it, and when he
- 54:22Speaker 2: stabs himself, he bursts into flames and disappears. The angel
- 54:27Speaker 2: they won't learn its name until much later, but the
- 54:30Speaker 2: angel's name is Ethereal, So he's a relatively minor angel.
- 54:35Speaker 2: But still what they saw, to by shadow Hunter standards,
- 54:40Speaker 2: that was sacrilegious. What Valancin had done to this angel,
- 54:45Speaker 2: that was an atrocity beyond anything they could imagine. But still,
- 54:52Speaker 2: with their encounter with this angel, they realize, now they understood,
- 54:56Speaker 2: they they can kind of glean more. They kind of
- 55:03Speaker 2: glean it kind of gives them more insight into what
- 55:05Speaker 2: the two of them are because when they're while they're
- 55:09Speaker 2: interacting with this angel, they feel this certain sense of
- 55:12Speaker 2: connection to it, Like they're like they're more connected to
- 55:17Speaker 2: the angel than just through Rozille's blood because and it
- 55:23Speaker 2: is it is revealed later, I'll go ahead and tell
- 55:24Speaker 2: you guys this right now. Valentine Begun had begun experimenting
- 55:34Speaker 2: and trying to find a way to create a better
- 55:36Speaker 2: shadow Hunter, and he does this in using two methods.
- 55:40Speaker 2: He experiments with angel blood and demon blood, and the
- 55:44Speaker 2: demon in question was a greater demon. I won't tell
- 55:47Speaker 2: you her name just yet, but she is a very
- 55:50Speaker 2: powerful and very ancient demon. And he wants to create
- 55:55Speaker 2: two types of super shadow hunters. One of them would
- 55:58Speaker 2: be shadow hunt augmented with more angel blood, so they
- 56:02Speaker 2: would technically so these shadow hunters would have more angel
- 56:06Speaker 2: blood in the in their bodies than what you would
- 56:09Speaker 2: typically get from a shadow hunter that just drinks from
- 56:13Speaker 2: the blood from the Ortal cup. And he had done
- 56:17Speaker 2: this by experimenting on not with the angel blood. He
- 56:22Speaker 2: didn't experiment on his own child, but he experimented on
- 56:25Speaker 2: the child of one of the one of the circle members,
- 56:31Speaker 2: and with the demon blood, he ends up experimenting on
- 56:35Speaker 2: his own son, Jonathan Christopher. So Jonathan Christopher, when he
- 56:46Speaker 2: was still in his mother's womb. While Joscelyn was still pregnant,
- 56:51Speaker 2: Valentine started feeding her blood laced with demon blood. I'm sorry,
- 56:55Speaker 2: started feeding her food laced with demon blood.
- 57:00Speaker 1: You wonder why she left you, my dude, And you
- 57:02Speaker 1: wonder why.
- 57:04Speaker 2: It's later revealed. It's later revealed that Joscelyn knew something
- 57:08Speaker 2: was wrong with her child because when she was pregnant
- 57:11Speaker 2: with him, she began having extreme, like these bizarre and
- 57:16Speaker 2: like terrifying nightmares. And then when he was born, she
- 57:21Speaker 2: swears that when she looked into her child's eyes, all
- 57:24Speaker 2: she saw were these black, soulless eyes staring up at her.
- 57:29Speaker 1: And his eyes are black.
- 57:32Speaker 2: They yeah, Jonathan Christopher's eyes are black, but so is Valentine's.
- 57:39Speaker 2: But the thing is that, like when you look at them,
- 57:43Speaker 2: when you look at him, I guess like it's a
- 57:46Speaker 2: mother's intuition. She knew something was up. And the thing
- 57:49Speaker 2: is is that after he was born, Valentine noticed that
- 57:55Speaker 2: Joscelyn was experiencing like extreme forms of melancholy, and so
- 58:02Speaker 2: in an effort to perk her up, he starts feeding her.
- 58:06Speaker 2: He starts slipping angel blood into her food, and when
- 58:09Speaker 2: he does that, she does perk up. But little does
- 58:11Speaker 2: he know, because he fed her angel blood, it gave
- 58:15Speaker 2: her the most. She got the motivation to finally stand
- 58:17Speaker 2: against him and steal the Mortal Cup and disappear. Little
- 58:21Speaker 2: did he know she was pregnant again. She was pregnant
- 58:24Speaker 2: with Clary. That is why Clarie has the powers that
- 58:28Speaker 2: she has, is because Valentine mistakenly fed her while she
- 58:33Speaker 2: was angel blood while she was pregnant with Clary. Now,
- 58:37Speaker 2: this does get revealed by Valentine later. I figured I
- 58:41Speaker 2: just go ahead and reveal some things to you guys,
- 58:43Speaker 2: because like now we'll say this too. Jase is not
- 58:51Speaker 2: the one that is not the child that Valentine fed
- 58:55Speaker 2: demon blood too. Though, when they realized that Valentine fed
- 59:00Speaker 2: child demon blood and it was supposed to be his son,
- 59:04Speaker 2: he immediately assumes it's him and he starts thinking, oh god,
- 59:08Speaker 2: oh great, great, I'm actually a demon. I'm actually part
- 59:11Speaker 2: demon lovely and I hated me. So the two, the
- 59:22Speaker 2: two of them, Claire and Jace, make their way back
- 59:26Speaker 2: down all the content with the book outside the city.
- 59:30Speaker 2: Jase can't help himself and reveals that he still loves
- 59:34Speaker 2: Clary more than just his sister, and they start kissing
- 59:40Speaker 2: and just like, ill, you're still technically brother and sister.
- 59:45Speaker 2: But Clary breaks it off and and tells him, listen,
- 59:51Speaker 2: they really gotta like they got to stop this. Yeah,
- 59:55Speaker 2: they care about each other, but they can't be together.
- 59:57Speaker 2: Like I'm like, all right, good for you, Clary, at
- 1:00:01Speaker 2: least you're you have a strong enough will to like
- 1:00:04Speaker 2: break off of that.
- 1:00:05Speaker 1: Yeah, but.
- 1:00:11Speaker 2: Uh, they end up having to walk back to Ala
- 1:00:14Speaker 2: Conte because well Clary forgot to bring a stella and
- 1:00:17Speaker 2: Jace lost his. When the uh when the when the
- 1:00:22Speaker 2: whalen mannor collapses around them? Because when the angel kills himself,
- 1:00:25Speaker 2: I guess like the angels power was what was powering
- 1:00:29Speaker 2: the words, that was keeping the house afloat. So when
- 1:00:33Speaker 2: he kills himself and I'm sorry, unalives himself and disappears,
- 1:00:40Speaker 2: well the power powers force for the wards around the
- 1:00:43Speaker 2: house disappear and it collapses. So they had to escape
- 1:00:46Speaker 2: before it collapses on top of him. And well, since
- 1:00:49Speaker 2: they both lost their stelle, they have to walk. She
- 1:00:52Speaker 2: can't open up, she can't open a portal room back
- 1:00:54Speaker 2: to the city. Yeah, so when they reached the city,
- 1:01:03Speaker 2: just as they're reaching the city, the sun is rising
- 1:01:05Speaker 2: and they realize the city is on fire. A few
- 1:01:10Speaker 2: hours earlier, just as this, one of the shadow Hunter
- 1:01:15Speaker 2: hosts of the posting the Lightwoods, Aileen, Isabelle, Alec, Max,
- 1:01:20Speaker 2: and Sebastian were ready to go to bed, the city
- 1:01:22Speaker 2: was attacked by demons, so somehow the demons had gotten
- 1:01:29Speaker 2: into the city. Later quantum investigation after the attack, they
- 1:01:35Speaker 2: find that the that the wards protecting the city and
- 1:01:40Speaker 2: all of Idris itself. They had been tampered with. So
- 1:01:45Speaker 2: here's the thing about the here's the thing about the war,
- 1:01:49Speaker 2: about the wards around Alicant and Idris. The Wards are
- 1:01:53Speaker 2: held in place by these massive structures. These structures are
- 1:01:57Speaker 2: these towers are made purely out out of Adamus, which
- 1:02:03Speaker 2: is why Alecante is often referred to as the city
- 1:02:05Speaker 2: of glass, because all throughout Alcante you have these massive
- 1:02:10Speaker 2: obelisks dot like set up in a grid pattern all
- 1:02:14Speaker 2: around the city, and the atoms, the Adamant towers are
- 1:02:20Speaker 2: what power the wards, and they're all controlled by the Clave.
- 1:02:24Speaker 2: But someone tampered with the wars, tampered with the towers
- 1:02:31Speaker 2: by drawing demonic roots ruins on them in demon blood.
- 1:02:37Speaker 2: When that happened, this temporarily depowered the Words, and a
- 1:02:41Speaker 2: whole horde of demons managed to get in and attack
- 1:02:43Speaker 2: the city. And the thing is, at the time that
- 1:02:47Speaker 2: the attack happened, most of the shadow Hunters that were
- 1:02:51Speaker 2: there were that were there, they were taking part of
- 1:02:56Speaker 2: the Clave meeting, so like they were in session when
- 1:02:59Speaker 2: the days attacks, So all these children like only people
- 1:03:03Speaker 2: still inside, like in the major parts of the city
- 1:03:05Speaker 2: were just children and old people, people who are other
- 1:03:08Speaker 2: shadow Hunters that chose not to participate in the in
- 1:03:11Speaker 2: the Clave meeting, so the younger shadow hunters are forced
- 1:03:17Speaker 2: to defend themselves. And then once the other shadow Hunters
- 1:03:22Speaker 2: from the clave realized that oh shit, the demons are attacking,
- 1:03:25Speaker 2: they all rush in mass from the Clave meeting and
- 1:03:28Speaker 2: they they flood throughout the city and start killing every
- 1:03:32Speaker 2: demon they can. Still, they do take significant losses. That's
- 1:03:37Speaker 2: not as much as it would have been, but still
- 1:03:43Speaker 2: they all still there are some heavy losses. In the
- 1:03:51Speaker 2: middle of the fight Isabelle, so since Isabelle is still underage,
- 1:03:55Speaker 2: she was left behind with her younger brother Max and
- 1:03:57Speaker 2: the other youngsters. Uh Alec, being of age, was included
- 1:04:03Speaker 2: with the was allowed to attend the Clave meeting. During
- 1:04:08Speaker 2: the fight, she gets separated. During the attack, she gets
- 1:04:11Speaker 2: separated from Max and uh Isabelle is found by Alec
- 1:04:18Speaker 2: when he manages to arrive, and they both rushed back
- 1:04:20Speaker 2: to the house to check on Max and Sebastian. Uh
- 1:04:26Speaker 2: Alec continues to help the other shadow hunter's fight. Isabelle
- 1:04:30Speaker 2: rushes back to the house and unfortunately she finds that
- 1:04:37Speaker 2: her little brother was murdered, and before she could figure
- 1:04:41Speaker 2: out who did it, she's attacked with her back turn.
- 1:04:47Speaker 2: We later learned the murderer was in fact Sebastian. What
- 1:04:54Speaker 2: he murdered, he ends up killing Max and he injures Isabelle,
- 1:04:58Speaker 2: but only he only knocked her out.
- 1:05:01Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 1:05:09Speaker 2: While Alec is fighting the demons, he runs into Magnus,
- 1:05:12Speaker 2: And by this point him and Magnus have been kind
- 1:05:14Speaker 2: of having a bit of a rocky relationship because now
- 1:05:18Speaker 2: Alec has finally come out and has accepted his sexuality
- 1:05:22Speaker 2: at his own sexuality, and he started pursuing a relationship
- 1:05:26Speaker 2: with Magnus. But the thing is is that since he's
- 1:05:30Speaker 2: still young and inexperienced, he had some issues with Magnus's
- 1:05:35Speaker 2: history and romance, the fact that since Magnus is over
- 1:05:40Speaker 2: three hundred years like he's over like four hundred years old,
- 1:05:44Speaker 2: he's had many different partners and not all of them
- 1:05:50Speaker 2: are naturally long lived like a warlock. So he starts
- 1:05:54Speaker 2: his own insecurity, starts showing Alec is insecure because he doesn't.
- 1:06:00Speaker 2: He's like afraid that while he's growing older, Magnets will
- 1:06:05Speaker 2: not age at all. Yeah, but still he sees he
- 1:06:09Speaker 2: sees Magnus and he puts aside his feelings and goes
- 1:06:14Speaker 2: help and fight the other demons, and the two manage
- 1:06:20Speaker 2: and the two managed to fight them off. There's a
- 1:06:23Speaker 2: lot more stuff that goes on, you know, with their relationship,
- 1:06:26Speaker 2: and they find and they start basically start working things out. Uh.
- 1:06:33Speaker 2: Just as Jason Clary arrive at the city and see
- 1:06:37Speaker 2: that it's on fire, a massive pack of well of
- 1:06:41Speaker 2: were wolves appear, and the two of them fear that
- 1:06:44Speaker 2: the warewolves were going to attack the city, but instead
- 1:06:47Speaker 2: they run. They run towards the city and start helping
- 1:06:52Speaker 2: and start helping the shadow Hunters fight the demons. And
- 1:06:55Speaker 2: it turns out Luke when he left the city after
- 1:06:58Speaker 2: he left Clary with his sister, he sought out the
- 1:07:02Speaker 2: local werewolf pack and took over. He challenged the alpha
- 1:07:06Speaker 2: of the pack and took over. Because the thing about
- 1:07:11Speaker 2: this pack of werewolves, Luke had one point was the
- 1:07:17Speaker 2: alpha of this pack. But when he realized that Jocelyn
- 1:07:20Speaker 2: was still alive after the uprising, he left the pack
- 1:07:23Speaker 2: and tracked her down and followed her all the way
- 1:07:26Speaker 2: to New York. So he basically what he did is
- 1:07:29Speaker 2: just he reconnected with the werewolves and got them under
- 1:07:33Speaker 2: got them to help and and aside from the local
- 1:07:46Speaker 2: I'm sorry, aside from the local werewolf pack, Luke also
- 1:07:49Speaker 2: summoned his pack of wolves from New York and several
- 1:07:52Speaker 2: other packs, and Luke and Clary and Jas ended up
- 1:07:57Speaker 2: running into Maya. Who's who's technically Lukes like lieutenant top
- 1:08:03Speaker 2: lieutenant of the New York pack.
- 1:08:05Speaker 1: Mm hmmm.
- 1:08:06Speaker 2: So they all showed up in Alaconse, and well, you know,
- 1:08:09Speaker 2: many shadow Hunters aren't exactly happy or thrilled that downholders
- 1:08:13Speaker 2: are invading their are invading their capital city. They they
- 1:08:19Speaker 2: suck it up because they realize, oh cool, they're helping
- 1:08:22Speaker 2: us kill demons. All right, we'll take it. Maya escorts
- 1:08:32Speaker 2: Jason Clary down back to the Accords Hall, which is
- 1:08:37Speaker 2: where the shadow Hunters hold their courts. That's where they
- 1:08:42Speaker 2: That's where the Clave congregates. It's like the Supreme Court
- 1:08:45Speaker 2: or Supreme Court or the Congress or what's the what's
- 1:08:49Speaker 2: the Capitol building called just the Capitol Building. Yeah, it's
- 1:08:53Speaker 2: a big building where the Congress and Supreme Court holds.
- 1:08:56Speaker 3: There's the Capital build day. I don't know if it
- 1:09:02Speaker 3: actually has like a name, name it does.
- 1:09:04Speaker 2: I just can't remember it right now. And no that's
- 1:09:06Speaker 2: not because I'm a dombin American. It's because like I
- 1:09:10Speaker 2: don't give a fuck anyway.
- 1:09:14Speaker 1: The US Capitol Building.
- 1:09:16Speaker 2: The Capitol Building. Yeah, I thought I had like an
- 1:09:18Speaker 2: actual official name, because you know, Capitol Building that just
- 1:09:21Speaker 2: sounds like, oh yeah, it's a building where in the
- 1:09:24Speaker 2: capital of our city, in the capital of our nation.
- 1:09:27Speaker 3: The United States Capitol Building is located Washington, DC, at
- 1:09:31Speaker 3: the eastern end of the National Mall on Plateau eighty eight.
- 1:09:39Speaker 2: It's right next to a mall.
- 1:09:41Speaker 1: Yeah, in the National Mall what they call it.
- 1:09:46Speaker 2: Okay, I'm assuming it's not like a mall as in
- 1:09:48Speaker 2: like a shopping mall. No, that'd be a weird name.
- 1:09:51Speaker 2: That'd be weird.
- 1:09:52Speaker 1: Like it's long.
- 1:09:55Speaker 3: So basically it's the Long Grass Sea area where they
- 1:09:59Speaker 3: have the Lincoln Memorial and Washington Money.
- 1:10:02Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 1:10:02Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, that's National Mall.
- 1:10:06Speaker 2: Even my mom was like, was like, oh, you know,
- 1:10:08Speaker 2: while we're there, we should go to the Smithsonian, and
- 1:10:11Speaker 2: while we're in New York, we should go to the Smithsonian,
- 1:10:13Speaker 2: and we should also visit like those other monuments. I'm like, Mom,
- 1:10:15Speaker 2: that's in Washington. It's like hours away from New York.
- 1:10:19Speaker 2: That's in Washington, d C. That's hours away from New York.
- 1:10:23Speaker 2: I was just like, oh, I thought there was so
- 1:10:24Speaker 2: much closer. And I'm like, no, no, not really, not really.
- 1:10:28Speaker 2: I mean there it's like three states away. But yeah,
- 1:10:32Speaker 2: so that's like going from one half of Texas. That's
- 1:10:34Speaker 2: like driving from San Antonio to like El Paso. Yeah,
- 1:10:40Speaker 2: it's like a good five hours drive. We won't have
- 1:10:42Speaker 2: we won't have the time. Mom, We're not renting a
- 1:10:45Speaker 2: car anyway. Anyway, excellent story. Uh and you see am
- 1:10:53Speaker 2: swor so. Anyway, Mina takes so as I was saying,
- 1:11:01Speaker 2: Maya takes Jason back, takes Jason Clary back to the
- 1:11:04Speaker 2: Accords Hall. Luke shows up, and a lot of the
- 1:11:08Speaker 2: like I said, a lot of the shadow Hunters were
- 1:11:09Speaker 2: pissed that Downworlders showed up, but Luke tells him to
- 1:11:12Speaker 2: shove it because the shadow Hunters needed the Downworlders help
- 1:11:16Speaker 2: to fight off Valentine. Because Valencine is not only using
- 1:11:20Speaker 2: new shadow Hunters that he's making with the Mortal Cup,
- 1:11:23Speaker 2: he's also using demons too, because since he has the
- 1:11:28Speaker 2: Mortal Sword, the Mortal Sword can compel demons to do
- 1:11:31Speaker 2: what he wants. So, as we saw, he used demons
- 1:11:38Speaker 2: to attack the city.
- 1:11:39Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 1:11:49Speaker 2: In the courts all, Clary encounters Magnus and she immediately
- 1:11:53Speaker 2: gives him the Book of the White Before she gives
- 1:11:57Speaker 2: him the she immediately gives him the Book of the White. Uh.
- 1:12:00Speaker 2: Just as she's giving him the book, Sebastian appears. At
- 1:12:03Speaker 2: this point. They don't know that he's the bad guy.
- 1:12:06Speaker 2: H Alex sees Hmon is mad at him for and
- 1:12:08Speaker 2: gets mad at him for leaving Isabelle and Max alone,
- 1:12:14Speaker 2: and but Sebastian pretty much ignores them and and leads
- 1:12:19Speaker 2: Clary away for a bit and tells her that Simon
- 1:12:24Speaker 2: was left in the Guard and that he could take
- 1:12:26Speaker 2: her there. And Jace overhears this, and he's like, yeah,
- 1:12:30Speaker 2: she's not going alone anywhere with you alone. So the
- 1:12:33Speaker 2: two of them, he decides to go with them, and
- 1:12:38Speaker 2: so Jace knows that Simon is in the Guard, so
- 1:12:41Speaker 2: he tells her, I'll take you there, and he and
- 1:12:43Speaker 2: Alec ends up going with her, and Sebastian's left behind
- 1:12:46Speaker 2: and he's a little buttter like, oh yeah, whatever, right.
- 1:12:54Speaker 2: They managed to reach the city. They they reached the
- 1:12:56Speaker 2: prison and they find that it's on fire, like much
- 1:13:01Speaker 2: everything else, like oh hey, look it's on fire. Lovely
- 1:13:08Speaker 2: love ye indeed, they managed to break They do manage
- 1:13:12Speaker 2: to get Simon out before he burns to death, and
- 1:13:14Speaker 2: he tells them that wait, there's another shadow hunter in
- 1:13:16Speaker 2: the soll. We gotta get him out. But when they
- 1:13:18Speaker 2: get him out, they realized that the other shadow hunter
- 1:13:21Speaker 2: is actually Hodge, who was Jason Alex former mentor and
- 1:13:26Speaker 2: the guy who portrayed them to Valencine and Book one.
- 1:13:33Speaker 2: The thing is is that Hodge had The reason why
- 1:13:36Speaker 2: Hodge was in prison was because he'd come to He'd
- 1:13:39Speaker 2: come to Idris to warn the others about Valentine and
- 1:13:42Speaker 2: what he was planning to do. No one listened to him,
- 1:13:45Speaker 2: and he was immediately thrown into prison. The thing is,
- 1:13:48Speaker 2: Hodge knew a secret, knew the secrets about Valentine's plan,
- 1:13:53Speaker 2: and he knew what he knew the last thing that
- 1:13:55Speaker 2: Valentine needed in order to complete his plan. So essentially,
- 1:14:01Speaker 2: Valentine was planning on using the Mortal instruments to summon Razil,
- 1:14:10Speaker 2: and what he was planning on doing was he was
- 1:14:12Speaker 2: going to use Razil as a weapon Razil made a
- 1:14:18Speaker 2: promise with the with the ancient shadow Hunters that should
- 1:14:23Speaker 2: they ever call upon him again using the Mortal Instruments,
- 1:14:25Speaker 2: this was a one time This is a one and
- 1:14:27Speaker 2: done deal. By the way, the shadow Hunters can call
- 1:14:30Speaker 2: upon upon him using the Mortal Instruments one time, and
- 1:14:34Speaker 2: if they do, they can he would grant them any
- 1:14:37Speaker 2: wish that they desired. Now, the shadow Hunters that knew
- 1:14:41Speaker 2: about this were hoping to save this one and done
- 1:14:45Speaker 2: wish for when things were truly dire. But Valentine was
- 1:14:50Speaker 2: going to use this wish to wipe out all of
- 1:14:53Speaker 2: the downworlders as well as the current members of the
- 1:14:56Speaker 2: shadow Hunters. So anyone not aligned with Valentine, he going
- 1:15:00Speaker 2: to wipe them out using using Razial, Or rather, he
- 1:15:03Speaker 2: wasn't gonna wipe them out. I think he was going
- 1:15:05Speaker 2: to actually have Razil to strip them of their power
- 1:15:09Speaker 2: and basically make it to where only the shadow Hunters
- 1:15:12Speaker 2: that serve Valentine would be the ones that would keep
- 1:15:15Speaker 2: their power. So he was going to really upset the
- 1:15:20Speaker 2: balance of the world. Yeah, and the thing is the
- 1:15:24Speaker 2: only thing that Valentine needs now is the Mortal Mirror.
- 1:15:28Speaker 2: But like I've just mentioned, before nobody knows where the
- 1:15:31Speaker 2: Mortal Mirror is. Well, Hodge, after doing some doing some
- 1:15:36Speaker 2: major research, discovered that the mirror itself is not an
- 1:15:40Speaker 2: actual like handheld mirror or like ornate mirror. The mirror
- 1:15:46Speaker 2: is just like a symbolic name for the place where,
- 1:15:51Speaker 2: for the very place that Razil was originally summoned from.
- 1:15:57Speaker 2: When when Jonathan shadow Hunter summoned Rezal the first time,
- 1:16:00Speaker 2: he needed a body of a large body of water
- 1:16:03Speaker 2: as like a sort of catalyst to be able to
- 1:16:05Speaker 2: summon Razil and that catalyst just so happened to be
- 1:16:11Speaker 2: Lake Lynn. Lake Lynn was the very place that Jonathan
- 1:16:16Speaker 2: shadow Hunter originally summoned the angel Razeal and because of that,
- 1:16:22Speaker 2: since the archangel's presence and power touched the waters of
- 1:16:28Speaker 2: the lake, it altered it in a way to where
- 1:16:32Speaker 2: now it's like it's the very reason why shadow Hunters
- 1:16:37Speaker 2: cannot drink from that lake, because it's the reason why
- 1:16:41Speaker 2: the lake itself is poisonous to shadow Hunters because it's
- 1:16:44Speaker 2: charged with Razille's power, and hence why it is called
- 1:16:49Speaker 2: the Mortal Mirror. So now that they know what he's
- 1:16:55Speaker 2: planning to do, now that he's told him what to do,
- 1:17:03Speaker 2: they were. They try to start planning, like, okay, cool,
- 1:17:07Speaker 2: what now we need to figure out a way to
- 1:17:09Speaker 2: stop Valentine from getting to lake Lynn. The thing is,
- 1:17:14Speaker 2: just as just as Hodge was telling them that lake
- 1:17:18Speaker 2: Lynn was the last mortal instrument, he's killed. He's attacked.
- 1:17:23Speaker 2: They're all attacked. Uh, they're all caught off garden attacked
- 1:17:26Speaker 2: by Sebastian. Sebastian quickly kills Hodge and he starts insulting everyone,
- 1:17:31Speaker 2: starts going off on a rat like ha ha, you
- 1:17:33Speaker 2: guys didn't know that was a spy, and he attacks,
- 1:17:37Speaker 2: but he doesn't kill anybody else. He ends up after
- 1:17:39Speaker 2: killing Hodge and just incapacitating the others. He takes off
- 1:17:44Speaker 2: and everyone returns to the Cords Hall. When they arrived there,
- 1:17:49Speaker 2: they saw Isabelle was brought there by her parents, and
- 1:17:53Speaker 2: they find also find that Max was killed by that
- 1:17:58Speaker 2: bastard Sebastian.
- 1:18:02Speaker 1: Fuck Sebastian, fuck him.
- 1:18:04Speaker 2: So this is where we're going to finally reveal who
- 1:18:08Speaker 2: Sebastian really is. So after the attack, Clary and Simon
- 1:18:13Speaker 2: decide to stay with him, staying at Mattis's house. The
- 1:18:17Speaker 2: others visit her and they brought the others visit her
- 1:18:21Speaker 2: and the shadow Hunter that they were staying with the
- 1:18:25Speaker 2: shadow Hunter family that the Lightwoods were staying with their
- 1:18:27Speaker 2: daughter Aileen. She brings some pictures of Sebastian, which turned
- 1:18:35Speaker 2: out that the Sebastian they knew, of course reveals that
- 1:18:37Speaker 2: the Sebastian they knew wasn't the real Sebastian. The thing
- 1:18:40Speaker 2: is is that Eileen had not seen Sebastian since they
- 1:18:43Speaker 2: were young kids, so she didn't know him. She didn't
- 1:18:45Speaker 2: know what he would look like as an adult or
- 1:18:48Speaker 2: as an older, as like a teenager slash adult, and
- 1:18:52Speaker 2: thinking about the real Sebastian is Sebastian is supposed to
- 1:18:57Speaker 2: be was supposed to be Eleene's cousin, but she, like
- 1:18:59Speaker 2: I said, she and see him since they were kids,
- 1:19:01Speaker 2: so she didn't know what he would look like as wrote,
- 1:19:04Speaker 2: as an adolescent, as a teenager. So after the whole attack,
- 1:19:10Speaker 2: her family had looked through and had had called Sebastian's
- 1:19:14Speaker 2: family and asked them to send the pictures of him
- 1:19:18Speaker 2: and the new pic and the pictures they received were
- 1:19:21Speaker 2: well of a different guy. They Sebastian's family reveals that
- 1:19:27Speaker 2: he had gone missing a few months ago. Just in fact,
- 1:19:30Speaker 2: he had gone missing just before he appeared in before
- 1:19:33Speaker 2: this Sebastian appears in ale Conte. So unfortunately the real
- 1:19:40Speaker 2: Sebastian is dead. So who the hell is this guy? Well,
- 1:19:45Speaker 2: let me tell you.
- 1:19:47Speaker 3: I called it. I called it. I was like I
- 1:19:50Speaker 3: called it. Yeah, I was still mad about it, but
- 1:19:58Speaker 3: I called it. I'm like you, son of a bit.
- 1:20:02Speaker 2: So after they figured out, after they figured out, oh,
- 1:20:06Speaker 2: this wasn't the really this guy isn't the real Sebastian,
- 1:20:08Speaker 2: they go back to the accords hall where they to
- 1:20:10Speaker 2: talk with Luke and tell them what they now know.
- 1:20:14Speaker 2: And just as they're telling him, as just as they're
- 1:20:17Speaker 2: talking to him, a projection of Valentine appears in the
- 1:20:20Speaker 2: middle of the accords hall, and of course this is
- 1:20:23Speaker 2: where the and then of course que the villainous monologuing. Yeah,
- 1:20:29Speaker 2: and in the middle of his monologuing, alder Tree gets
- 1:20:34Speaker 2: up and starts bitching at him, like, no, Valentine, You're
- 1:20:38Speaker 2: not gonna take over the clave, all right, claves mine,
- 1:20:42Speaker 2: I'm in charge here now. And even though Valentine is
- 1:20:45Speaker 2: a projection, he now has access to sorcery, and his
- 1:20:51Speaker 2: projection self just reaches out pushes his hand right through
- 1:20:56Speaker 2: Alder Tree's heart like it fades through the heart. But somehow, somehow,
- 1:21:02Speaker 2: whatever Valentine does ends up crushing Alder Tree's heart.
- 1:21:08Speaker 1: Yeah, sure does.
- 1:21:10Speaker 4: I was like, oh shit, damn, damn. So anyway, anyway,
- 1:21:18Speaker 4: no law whoo boohoo, whoo, Okay, well that's a shame.
- 1:21:26Speaker 4: He basically so, what Valentine reveals is that if they
- 1:21:31Speaker 4: don't surrender.
- 1:21:32Speaker 2: To him, he's going to He's going to come with
- 1:21:36Speaker 2: a bigger army and destroy every shadow hunter in the city.
- 1:21:39Speaker 1: Blah blah blah.
- 1:21:41Speaker 2: And it's later revealed that not only does Valentine have
- 1:21:46Speaker 2: his own army of new shadow hunters and demons on
- 1:21:50Speaker 2: his side, but the Fay have also thrown their lot
- 1:21:55Speaker 2: in with Valentine. The way they find it out. The
- 1:22:01Speaker 2: way they find this out was they tried they decided
- 1:22:04Speaker 2: to visit the Sealy Queen to uh. They later decided
- 1:22:08Speaker 2: to visit the Sealy Queen to see if they can
- 1:22:10Speaker 2: enlist her help because they already got the werewolves, and
- 1:22:14Speaker 2: they do also convince the vampires to help them too,
- 1:22:17Speaker 2: and some warlocks. But when they try to convince the
- 1:22:21Speaker 2: Ceily the Sealy Court to help them. They overhear the
- 1:22:24Speaker 2: Sealy Queen talking about how she's uh that talking about
- 1:22:28Speaker 2: her the deals she made with Valentine, and when they
- 1:22:31Speaker 2: overhear that, they're all like, okay, fuck you. So now
- 1:22:36Speaker 2: aside from planning for an army of enemy shadow Hunters demons,
- 1:22:41Speaker 2: they had to plan for Fay warriors too. Anyway, Uh,
- 1:22:55Speaker 2: I'm sorry, sack here. A few days after this, funerals
- 1:23:00Speaker 2: that shadow Hunters killed by Valancine happened in Lightwood's and
- 1:23:05Speaker 2: Clary discussed Sebastian and what his next move might be.
- 1:23:10Speaker 2: They noticed that Isabelle hasn't left her room the day,
- 1:23:14Speaker 2: and in days she herself feels guilty over letting Sebastian
- 1:23:19Speaker 2: get the better of her, and because of that, her
- 1:23:21Speaker 2: little brother was killed. Uh. When they reached Clarie's home,
- 1:23:29Speaker 2: Jason note when they were I'm going ahead of myself.
- 1:23:33Speaker 2: After the funerals, they they all part ways, with the
- 1:23:37Speaker 2: Lightwoods returning back to their hosts home, and Jace takes
- 1:23:41Speaker 2: Clarie back to a Matthes's house. When he as these
- 1:23:44Speaker 2: when they reached her house, he realized that Clari is
- 1:23:47Speaker 2: wearing a still wearing the same She's still wearing clothes
- 1:23:52Speaker 2: that she was wearing a few days ago, and on
- 1:23:55Speaker 2: and on her clothes there was a splatter of blood
- 1:23:57Speaker 2: on it, and he noticed. He realized that was actually
- 1:24:00Speaker 2: Sebastian's blood. And it's good, cool thing because with that blood,
- 1:24:06Speaker 2: Jase can track him down. So he manages to take
- 1:24:10Speaker 2: a thread of of this blood stain of He managed
- 1:24:15Speaker 2: to take a thread with the blood on it, and
- 1:24:17Speaker 2: he takes it with him after Claria. Once he leaves
- 1:24:21Speaker 2: Clary alone.
- 1:24:25Speaker 3: If you make this, if you need to make this
- 1:24:27Speaker 3: into a two part, we can just record it next
- 1:24:29Speaker 3: time and just do the last bit of this one
- 1:24:32Speaker 3: and then the next book or whatnot.
- 1:24:35Speaker 2: We might have to, because I did not really prepare
- 1:24:37Speaker 2: and I'm over You're like, this is this book actually
- 1:24:41Speaker 2: warrants a two part because this is like there's still
- 1:24:44Speaker 2: a lot left, there's still a lot left to go over,
- 1:24:47Speaker 2: and I don't want to like condense it because this
- 1:24:51Speaker 2: is good, Like this is actually really good.
- 1:24:54Speaker 3: Okay, Yeah, we'll we'll we'll cut off the point here
- 1:24:58Speaker 3: and then next time we'll do part two of it.
- 1:25:01Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm hoping I could get through this whole thing,
- 1:25:03Speaker 2: but I wanted to, like I actually wanted to go
- 1:25:05Speaker 2: into detail with this one.
- 1:25:07Speaker 1: Oh no, you're fine. I'd rather have it take two
- 1:25:12Speaker 1: parts than
