Blood Calls To Blood is the eleventh episode of Shadowhunters: The Mortal Instruments.

Synopsis[]

THE TRUTH WON'T ALWAYS SET YOU FREE: With the help of a new ally, Clary and Jace attempt to rescue Jocelyn.

After receiving important intel about Valentine from a surprising ally, Clary, Jace and Luke devise a plan to rescue Jocelyn. With the mission looking almost impossible, the three will stop at nothing to rescue Clary's mother and put a stop to Valentine once and for all.

Meanwhile, Inquisitor Herondale arrives at the Institute for Isabelle's trial as Alec turns to Magnus for help.

Plot[]

SPOILERS AHEAD!

Alec is desperate to find a way around Izzy's trial, asking Magnus to serve as her attorney. Inquisitor Imogen Herondale arrives at the Institute to preside over the trial, and reprimands Lydia over how the Institute is being run under her leadership. Izzy and Magnus successfully appeal to Lydia's compassion and sense of justice, and the latter dismisses the trial. Regardless, Imogen moves to have Izzy stripped of her runes and exiled unless the Mortal Cup is turned over to the Clave within 24 hours. Magnus refuses payment for his services, but warns Alec that both he and Lydia will regret their marriage.

Clary and Michael Wayland (Jace's father who was thought to be long dead) take an injured Jace to the Jade Wolf for treatment. Michael leads Clary, Jace, and Luke to Valentine's base of operations in New York. There, they find a comatose Jocelyn. Michael reveals several facts: that he is Valentine under a glamor; that he was glamored the entire time he raised Jace; and that Jace and Clary are siblings. Valentine escapes as the two lovers struggle to process this information.

Clary and Jace (between whom things are now awkward) take Jocelyn to the Institute and give Lydia the cup, exonerating Izzy. Luke informs Simon that Jace and Clary are related, meaning Simon now has a chance with Clary.
