What. A. Premiere.
We start off on Valentine's ship of doom where we find that a lot of his test subjects did not survive the transition to becoming a shadowhunter. Jace is on the ship and Clary arrives to break him out. Valentine appears and Jace kills him. He and Clary make a run for it, stumbling upon a terrifying chamber with equipment and tons of locked up Downworlders. Valentine appears again and Jace (who is clearly confused) kills him again. Clary is then revealed to be the real Valentine in disguise and he was testing Jace. He's obviously not happy about the fact that Jace has tried to kill him. He chains Jace up and tortures him.
Clary spends some time with Jocelyn who finds out Simon is now a vampire and that her son, Jonathan, is actually alive. Clary doesn't understand why Jocelyn isn't more excited about this, and she's clearly getting upset about being lied to all of her life. Jocelyn promises no more lies. Meanwhile, at the Institute the Clave has sent someone new to take over as they no longer believe Lydia can do the job. Her replacement is Aldertree and we hate him. He declares that they will find Jace alive or dead and anyone who doesn't help will be de-runed.
Valentine tries to bond with Jace bringing up memories from the past like how much Jace loves spaghetti. Jace is rejecting Valentine's advances. Valentine tells Jace that he's different and shares with him that there is a reason why he is so different from the other Shadowhunters. He shares a vision of when Jocelyn was pregnant with Jace, and Valentine injected the fetus with pure demon blood. Jace is completely repulsed by this as he realizes why he is so fast and so powerful: he has demon blood in his veins. Valentine argued that he did this in an effort to create a perfect Shadowhunter who would have an advantage against the demons.
Aldertree makes Luke and Simon leave, saying they're not welcome at the Institute. Luke lets Simon stay at the Jade Wolf because the sun will be up soon and he doesn't have anywhere to go. When Luke leaves the other werewolves force Simon into a shipping container and lock him in there. They're clearly upset about having a vampire in their midst. Clary and Izzy train together while Aldertree watches them, knowing he needs to keep a close eye on them. It's amazing to see how far Clary has come. Alec is losing his mind over what is going on with Jace and he goes against Lydia. Maryse follows him and chastises him telling him that Jace is a cancer and needs to be cut out. He reminds her that Jace is her son and part of their family and she says he's not.Alec leaves.
Clary sneaks out of the Institute disguised as Aldertree and goes to Luke for help. She hears Simon and goes to let him out. She opens the door and Jocelyn appears. She asks Clary for her cell phone and stele. She takes them and locks Clary and Simon in the container. She casts a tracking spell on Jace's gloves and is successful. Jace has gotten off the Valentine's boat so he can be tracked now. Simon and Clary try to escape and it's during this time that Simon nearly confesses his love for Clary. The door breaks down and they make their getaway to find Jace. They arrive in time to witness Jocelyn shoot an arrow at Jace. Valentine appears out of nowhere and takes the arrow before pulling Jace through a portal.
Poor Jace. His adoptive mom thinks of him as a horrible cancer to be killed and his biological mother tried to kill him.
