Alec is not doing well. The tracking spell has not worked in Alec is trapped in some sort of coma. Magnus is working to keep him alive, but he is unable to bring him back. He and Izzy are very tense. Everyone is looking for Clary and Jace in an effort to bring Jace close to Alec and wake him up, but of course all of this must be done without the Clave noticing.
Jace wakes up on a beach with a dead body which he recognizes as Gretel, the werewolf he refused to kill. A mundane jogging on the beach runs into Jace, who can't find his steele, and is understandably horrified when she sees Gretel's dead body. She calls the police and Jace runs. Luke is the officer who arrives on the scene and is upset to see Gretel's body. Alaric wants revenge on Jace and Luke wants to find out what really happened, but he guarantees that if Jace is responsible then he will be killed. Jace continues to run, stopping at a bar, and asking the bartender if he can use their phone. The woman calls him out on being a Shadowhunter, and eventually agrees to let him use it.
Clary returns to the Institute after an unsuccessful search for Jace. She is interrogated by Aldertree, but she insists she remembers nothing after Dot opened the portal. Izzy runs into Clary and lets her know what is going on with Alec. She gets a phone call from Jace which Clary listens in on and Izzy lets him know how dire Alec's situation is. They form a plan to get Alec and Jace together at Magnus' without Aldertree knowing.
Jace attempts to leave the bar and Maia stops him, asking him to help them find Gretel. Jace is in a hurry and refuses so Maia calls for backup from another wolf in the bar. This wolf recognizes him as one of the ones who kidnapped Gretel and a fight ensues. Jace is thrown out the window and tries to run. He doesn't get far before collapsing in front of many concerned mundanes who end up calling an ambulance for him. Maia angrily watches the ambulance take him away. Luke informs Maia and the rest of the pack that they are not to kill Jace until they know for sure that he killed Gretel. Maia is not happy with this order at all, she wants justice for her friend's death.
Meanwhile, Simon has been avoiding his mom for a while now and the guilt is really getting to him. Raphael insists that this is only getting in the way of his search for Camille and tells him that it's best to let go of his family and realize that they're going to die and he'll continue to live forever, never changing. Simon ignores Raphael and returns to his mom's house, and is alarmed when he can't find her. He finds alcohol in her room and fears she has fallen off the wagon. He calls Clary asking her to help him find his mom. Izzy gives Clary her blessing to go and says she'll let her know what happens with Alec and Jace.
Aldertree refuses Izzy's request to move Alec out of the Institute for treatment and even leaves Raj to watch them. Aldertree is desperate to lure Jace out of hiding even if it costs Alec his life. Raj tries to force Magnus to leave, so Magnus uses his magic to knock him out. He then uses Raj as a body double for Alec and portals the real Alec to his apartment.
Jace wakes up in the hospital and tries to escape, but he runs into Maia who phases in the middle of the hospital. She chases him until Jace is pulled through a door which is marked shut by none other than Jocelyn. She guides him to the roof and offers to help him and wants to apologize, but he refuses to listen and runs off on his own towards Magnus'.
Aldertree checks on Alec and notices something is up with Izzy. He discovers the shape-shifting rune and the two end up striking a deal. He tells her that Luke's pack believes Jace killed one of their own and they're hunting him. She knows he would be safe under the protection of the Clave. She asks Aldertree for a portal to Jace so he can save Alec and promises to turn Jace in afterward. Aldertree agrees and sends her on her way.
Clary uses a tracking rune to find Mrs. Lewis. They find her at a restaurant and Clary encourages Simon to come clean with his mom and tell her that he is a vampire. She thinks his mom will still love him if she knows the truth. Clary leaves to go see Luke and Simon goes into the restaurant only to find his mom having dinner with Raphael. He has told Elaine (Mrs. Lewis) that he's Simon's band manager and that the band is doing really well and touring which is why Simon hasn't been around. When Elaine steps away Raphael threatens her life if Simon fails to find Camille.
Clary and Luke are informed by Alaric that Maia is tracking Jace and ready to kill. They rush to get there before it's too late. Jace is cornered by Maia and another wolf and he pleads with them to allow him to get to Alec. He swears he didn't kill Gretel and he apologizes for what happened to her. He begs them to allow him to save his brother. Luke demands they stand down and Clary affirms Jace's story, but the pack is ready to attack. Izzy arrives just in time and uses her whip to stop the attack. Luke goes into Alpha mode, forcing the others to submit to him. Clary, Izzy, and Jace run off to Magnus' where they find Alec who is in very bad shape.
Jace goes to his brother and begs him not to leave him. He begins reciting their Parabati oath until Alec goes limp and drops the stone. Jace holds him tightly as he succumbs to his emotions until Alec quietly recites the last line of the oath. Everyone breathes a sigh of relief. The happy moment is short lived though when Aldertree and his officers come in and arrest Jace.
