There were two lines from Malec scenes this episode which really hit me hard. Magnus gets Alec to come over because he knew he wasn’t okay. She then asks him if Clary can join her on the mission to the Citadel, Aldertree says that he’ll let her come, only if Izzy tells him everything that Clary does, as he doesn’t trust her and believes she also has demon blood in her. I like how we’re already getting to see her addiction to this drug.
Isabelle goes to Aldertree for more Yin Fen. Izzy is explaining this to Clary and she takes out on of her hair pins and flicks it and it turns into a blade, I thought this was really cool and ties into how her whip is also a bracelet. We got to learn, more clearly, about what the Iron Sisters do. It has been said so many times that Clary is untrained and that she doesn’t understand the Shadow world, so it doesn’t make sense that Aldertree is questioning Jace about him and Clary looking through the Grey Book. Something I didn’t understand about this was why Aldertree was questioning Jace about them looking through the Grey Book. This broke my heart, I thought that it was something really beautiful and emotional that they added in. As they can’t find it Clary tells Jace that she thinks their mom sent her the rune in order to protect her. We get this scene with Clary and Jace where they’re looking through the Grey Book trying to find the rune Clary drew in the last episode.
The Silent Brothers have a distinct look which makes them stand out, in the books The Iron Sisters have glowing orange eyes, which are the colour of fire. The only thing I was disappointed with when it came to their costumes was that there was nothing that made them stand out. I loved that we got to see them making their weapons and then them testing them, I thought it was really well done. We got to see the Iron Sisters this episode, there were things I liked about them and things I didn’t like so much. This discussion will have spoilers for not only this episode but the whole mortal instruments series. This was a good episode, it just wasn’t that interesting, in comparison to other episodes. I am planning to be more organised and have these discussions up earlier in the week.
This week I completely lost track of time, and I didn’t end up finishing this discussion until Sunday night.
