Shadowhunters Recap - "Dead Man's Party" (S01E03)




 This episode was all about saving Simon.

Clary asks the Shadowhunters to trust her with this mission and she reminds them that they're at fault for leaving Simon alone. As they make a plan, Jace points out that the vamps started this by kidnapping a mundane, which violates the Accords so technically they're doing their jobs. Alec isn't too sure about this. They devise a plan to sneak out of The Institute and to get weapons without Hodge knowing.

The group goes to a cemetery and Clary is very confused. They explain that they can find weapons at any religious place because all religions believe in demons-or they used to at least. Apparently the Shadowhunters are too good at their job. Isabelle gets a text from a Seelie (faerie) named Meliorn who she has had a fling with. She lets the group know that she's going to go get intel on the vamps from him and leaves. Clary, Jace, and Alec keep looking around. Alec tries to talk to Jace about why he is trusting Clary and if this is a good idea. Jace asks Alec to trust him and that should be enough. Jace is clearly getting annoyed with Alec. Clary finds the grave they were looking for, and the guys remove the stone. Inside the casket is full of weapons. Clary pulls out a seraph blade and Alec tells her she should put it away before she hurts someone. They have an exchange until Jace steps in and says he will teach her. There are no arrows in the casket so Alec says he is going to sneak back into The Institute to get some. Before he leaves, he and Jace apologize and he calls Jace his "parabatai" and leaves.


Jace and Clary talk and she complains that Alec doesn't like her. Jace assures her that Alec doesn't like anyone. She asks how he knows they'll come back and he says the Lightwoods are basically his siblings, they'll come back. He also says that Alec is his Parabatai and he explains to her that a parabatai is a pair of warriors who fight together as lifelong partners and who share a heart during battle. If one of them dies, then a piece of the other one will die. He knows Alec will be back. In a rewarding "Clace" moment, Jace helps Clary with the seraph blade and they both look like they enjoyed the closeness. Clary looked like she wanted to kiss him. They leave the cemetery and head to the Hotel Durmot where the vamps live.


Simon is freaking out about being held captive and keeps trying to talk his way out of it, but Raphael won't budge. He brings him to Camille who seems to be in charge. She keeps entrancing Simon and making out with him and feeding him blood. He acts as if he's high or drunk, it's crazy.


Meanwhile, Isabelle meets with Meliorn to get the information she needs and they have sex. She gets her information and leaves to find her brother. Alec is getting his arrows when Hodge comes in. He tells him he doesn't want to know what he's doing, but tells him to think for himself. He doesn't like that Clary is Valentine's daughter and thinks there is an issue. He also reminds Alec not to be in another's shadow like he was. Alec and Izzy enter the hotel through the service entrance and serve as the distraction. Izzy talks with Alec and hints at him being himself. They run into vamps and take them down like complete bosses.





Jace and Clary go to a bar and he points out a vampire and tells Clary to go compliment his bike. She does it and he puts her under a spell so she is entranced by him. Jace intervenes and grabs the keys and Clary and they take off. He shows her that the bike actually flies, so they ride/fly to the hotel. They get in and run into vamps so they begin to fight. The bar vamp shows up and he's pissed at Clary so he attacks her, she almost fights him off until he grabs her and threatens to kill her when Izzy and Alec enter. Alec looks like he could care less and shoots out the window behind him, letting the sun in so Clary escapes and kills the vampire.

Raphael tells Camille she is too valuable and has to get out so she flees. They hunters find Simon and Raphael has a knife to his throat. He yells at them to go out the door or he'll kill Simon. They lower their weapons and do as their told, Jace has to keep pushing Clary along thorugh the tight hallway as she fights to get back to Simon. Raphael yells at them to open the door when they reach one, reluctantly they do and realize he lead them to the roof. He pushes Simon after them and yells to Jace to remember who his real friends are.



Once they're on the roof, Clary hugs Simon and they share a moment which Jace looks pissed about. Clary shares how scared she was that she had lost him and he promised that he's not going anywhere. She tells him that she needs him in her life and they hold each other. Alec starts in to Jace again about Clary and Jace is pissed. Alec won't stop until Jace yells at him. Alec tells him he's not in his shadow and leaves. Izzy looks confused and Jace just stares at Clary. Simon also stares at her, but he can't stop focusing on her vein...
