Since then, though, there's been no major updates to speak of. What did you think about "The Descent into Hell is Easy?" Hit the comments below and share your thoughts.A post shared by Leigh Bardugo photo posted by onĪdditionally, executive producer Shawn Levy told Collider that the show would be "heading into production shortly" after Heisserer and Bardugo had finished penning the scripts. I can't wait to see what happens next on Shadowhunters Season 1 Episode 3 which airs on January 26 on FreeForm. While there are still some character and dialogue kinks to be worked out, especially with Clary, there is no doubt I am hooked. The slower pace made it so much easier to understand what was going on and to become involved with the characters and the story.

"The Descent into Hell is Easy" was a definite improvement over the series premiere. But all is forgotten when Simon is taken hostage by a vampire. Alec, however, is immediately suspicious which is expected. It also makes me wonder if Jocelyn is the reason Valentine has become a bad guy, though I'm still waiting to see how bad he really is.Ĭlary shares the news with Jace, who has no emotion. Makes me kind of want to finish the books. And I'm actually looking forward to learning about how it all came about. It makes sense that whatever it was, a fling or something long-term, produced a child. As I mentioned earlier, it was obvious there was some "thing" between Jocelyn and the bad guy.

Valentine being her dad was not really that surprising. Her mother has been her entire life, so for her mother to have lied about something like this is devastating. Not so much I think from learning that interesting fact, but from learning that her mother lied to her.

When she finds out that Valentine is her father, I actually, finally, believed her anguish. Eventually the other shoe is going to drop, and this girl is going to have a meltdown. Her answer is exactly what you would expect Clary to say: that she "always felt like something was missing." Simon finally asks Clary the question I've been waiting for: how can she not be "ultra freaked out" by all of this. That aside, I thought it was interesting that this mysterious City of Bones is under a bridge in the middle of what looks like a forest preserve in the middle of New York City. When the gang pulls up to the City of Bones in Simon's van, it seriously reminded me of the Mystery Machine from Scooby Doo. Alec and Isabelle are against the idea, but Jace wants the Mortal Cup and Clary wants her mother, so off to the City of Bones they go. Thankfully, though, it didn't last long, because Dot disappeared and so did the visions.Īfter not being able to find Dot, Jace comes up with the plan to visit the Silent Brothers, who, with the soul sword, can retrieve Clary's memories.

Plus, I think it was just a tad overacted when she first touched the stone. Out of the entire episode, this was the most unbelievable, and the part that really took me out of the story. It has bothered me that Clary is so accepting of everything that has been happening, but it really kicks in when not even this phases her, because it's so normal to all of a sudden have visions.Ĭ'mon, there has to be something that will give this girl pause.Ĭlary's visions don't phase anyone else, either, not even Simon, which is just as disturbing. The necklace Jocelyn gave Clary comes into play too when she touches it and sees a vision of Dot. Not yet, anyway.Īfter Jace realizes that her memories were wiped, they go on a quest to find Dot, who Clary thinks did the wiping.

Plus the fact that he had no problems killing the guy who trash talked the former Circle member.īut Clary doesn't know any of this. This sort of ties together the whole big bad reveal that comes later, but it was sort of obvious in Shadowhunters Season 1 Episode 1 that Valentine and Jocelyn had a thing. The only thing they learned of real value was that Jocelyn was a member of The Circle. Hodge immediately mistakes Clary for her mother, which just adds to Clary's intrigue about this whole situation.Īfter finding out what they can from Hodge, Clary and Jace still have no answers. While Isabelle entertains Simon in her bedroom (they couldn't have had breakfast anywhere else?), Jace takes Clary to the training room where she meets Hodge Starkweather. It's not hard to imagine these five working as a team. Even with Alec being a hardass, they all fit together rather nicely. What's interesting is how easily the chemistry is building between these characters. But, we all know his heart still belongs to Clary, and she is his main concern. She quickly introduces herself to the nerdy mundane, and he is clearly smitten. Alec isn't too thrilled about Simon being allowed into The Institute, but Isabelle is intrigued.
