Clary tells Jace and Magnus that she knows where the cup is: it's in the Ace of Cups tarot card her mom painted for Dot. Now they have to figure out how to get the cards from Dot before Valentine realizes it. Luke lets them know that he cleaned out the apartment and stored everything in his desk at work. Clary and Jace accompany Luke to the precinct and agree to wait outside. When Luke walks to his desk he is met by the Chief and an Internal Affairs officer who informs him that he's under investigation. The IA officer takes Luke to interrogation which Jace sees thanks to one of his runes. They glamour themselves and sneak in the interrogation room and unplug the camera. Luke warns them that he's not the only downworlder that works there so they have to be careful and assume everyone has the Sight. Clary comes up with a plan.
Clary yells at Jace and then slaps him before running to Luke's desk yelling that they're over. The Chief is there and asks Clary if this was the boy she was talking about and she says yes. The Chief tells him to get out and stay away from Clary so the officers escort him out. Clary says she forgot her house key and wanted to get Luke's spare out of his desk. The Chief tells Clary that all of the stuff in his desk is up in the evidence room and she can't get it. Clary thanks her and pretends to find her key and leave. Jace is bewildered that Clary slapped him and insisted that next time he'll bring Alec because he's never slapped him. He comes up with another plan.
Mr. Lightwood notices Izzy has changed her style and started wearing her hair back like her mother's. He questions it and she says she's grown up. He asks where Alec is because he needs to fill out reports for the Clave. Izzy isn't sure where Alec is, but she insists that she can do it. He's proud of her and she heads off to do her work. Later on, Alec comes in and she asks if he spent the night at Magnus' place. He says yes but they didn't do much sleeping-meaning they were taking care of Luke. She doesn't buy it and he says Magnus made cocktails and that was it- nothing happened. Alec gets a call from Jace and is informed that they know where the Cup is, but they need help getting it. He and Izzy head over to the Station.
Jace and Clary glamour themselves again and end up in a small room together. They sneak out and into an elevator unnoticed. Meanwhile, Luke is released from interrogation and goes to talk to the Chief when he notices blood coming out of a closet door. He finds her in there with a slit throat. Alaric tells Luke and the IA officer that she has been dead for hours, but the IA officer insists they had just spoken 45 minutes ago. Luke and Alaric deduce that a demon is behind this and Alaric goes to run some tests.
Izzy tells Alec he needs to cause a distraction because she no longer does that sort of thing. He insists she's better at it, but she refuses. He goes into the Precinct and tries to flirt with the woman at the desk, it doesn't go well and he spills her water. As they try to clean it up, Izzy grabs her security pass and heads inside. She uses a rune to cut the power to the whole place. Meanwhile, Clary and Jace are in the elevator and he tells her to copy one of his runes so she will have night vision. She struggles drawing it so he assists her while they wait for the sign. The power goes out and they climb out of the elevator and up to the evidence room where they search for Luke's things. After a close call with a patrol officer, they find it. Clary pulls out the card and tries reaching in it but can't. Jace isn't happy and they try to leave. They meet Izzy and Alec out front and Alec is mad that Clary doesn't have the Cup in hand. They start to leave and notice they're being followed. Izzy's necklace pulses to tell them demons are around.
Clary falls behind and is almost attacked by a demon pretending to be a grandma. Jace kills her and they notice more demons coming for them. Clary grabs everyone and leads them down through the electrical room. Alec decides to stay and fight off the demons so they can get Clary to the Institute. Jace doesn't want to leave him behind, but has to. More demons find them, and Jace says they have to split up and Clary has to get to the Institute. He and Izzy take off to lead the demons away so Clary takes off. She gets cornered by the demons and pulls out the card, reaching in and taking out the Cup. She commands the demons to go away and they obey. She takes off and runs into Jace. She tells him what happened and he says he's proud of her and she should give him the Cup for safe keeping. Clary pulls out her seraph blade and stabs him as she realizes he isn't the real Jace. For a moment, she thinks she stabbed the real Jace until he bursts into dust. Luke and Alec run up to her and she freaks out, demanding they prove who they are. Luke tells her what he got her for her birthday and she relaxes and tells them she has the Cup. They head back to the Institute.
As they walk in, they see Jace commanding everyone to stop what they're doing and put the place on high alert. He tells them that right now "Clary is the only thing that matters." Clary calls out to him and runs downstairs to see him. They hug and she tells him she got the cup. He tells her he doesn't care about the Cup, he was worried when he didn't see her come out of the tunnels. She tells him about the demon and he asks if she's ok and what she did. She tells him she sent it back to hell and he laughs and asks how she knew it wasn't him. She tells him she does actually pay attention to his advice and she paid attention to the details. She just knew. He's impressed and she grabs him and kisses him. They kiss passionately as Alec looks on sadly before walking away.
Meanwhile, Simon has been freaking out this entire episode and is convinced he's becoming a vampire. He slept with Maureen then called her Clary then he freaked out and took off. Maureen told his mom and sister who asked him if he's on drugs. He swears he isn't but he thinks he's sick. While his mom and sister debate, Simon starts getting anxious and smashes his computer desk. The women are clearly afraid and Simon is mortified. They leave him alone and he starts losing it. He calls Clary and leaves her a voicemail saying he thinks he's becoming a vampire. He starts seeing Camille in his room and he flips and punches his mirror. Then he takes off and runs to the Hotel Dumort to find her. is mom and sister come back into his room and are horrified to see it is completely destroyed. Simon breaks into the hotel and searches for Camille or Raphael. He finds Camille and asks if he's becoming a vampire. She laughs and says no he just has her blood in his veins and it'll wear off soon, until now. Then she charges at him.
