Quantico Season 2, Episode 12 Recap: Proving There Can Be Too Many Storylines by Alexandria Ingham

The storm was coming on this week’s episode of Freeform’s ‘Shadowhunters’ and we’ve recapped the 10 most shocking things we learned from Season 2, Episode 7, “How Are Thou Fallen.”

On last week’s episode of Shadowhunters, Clary and Izzy traveled to the Citadel to meet the Iron Sisters, but Izzy’s use of yin fen prevented her from being able to enter (it didn’t stop her from spying on Clary and Cleo’s conversation about making new runes though). Despite Aldertree’s return to Idris, Jace left the Institute and is crashing at Magnus’ apartment, and Simon sparked a new friendship with Maia. On this week’s episode, Valentine returned, and his horrific actions caused Clary and Luke to unite together with their siblings for an epic take-down.

10 Shocking Things We Learned From “How Are Thou Fallen”

1) Cleophas never stopped being loyal to Valentine, and she became an Iron Sister to avoid a death sentence. Cleophas now has to prove herself to Valentine to gain his trust, and she’s willing to inflict injury on herself to do so.

2) Clary is able to hear screams from an angel held captive by Valentine who’s crying out for help. We can add that to the list of skills Clary’s not supposed to have. With an approaching storm and a kidnapped angel, Valentine would have been able to activate the Soul-Sword.

3) Because of Cleo, Valentine now knows that Clary can draw new runes.

4) Magnus once spent the night with Casanova in the Doge’s Palace, and he also understands the serious effects of yin fen, something we hope helps Magnus recognize the severity of Izzy’s addiction in the coming weeks.

5) Simon agreed to have Jace be his “Obi-Wan” of dating women, resulting in Jace actually transforming into Simon to show the real Simon how to get a girl’s number at the bar — which then completely backfired.

6) Izzy’s addiction drove her to seek out Shadow World drug-dealers and, in a roundabout way, she even asked Simon to bite her so she could have a dose of vamp venom. She can still be trusted to give advice to Alec about his sex life though.

7) Magnus was just as vulnerable as Alec about “taking the next step,” and Magnus feared that if they were intimate, he would lose him.

8) Maia revealed that she knew Simon was in love with Clary (and that she heard all of Simon and Jace’s conversation at the bar). Most shocking of all, she may have finally been the one to convince Simon to tell Clary the truth.

9) Clary and Jace make a phenomenal fighting team, something we don’t get to see very often.

10) Not only can Clary hear the screams of the Angel, she was able to interpret his commands, causing her to draw a rune over his chains and release him back to heaven.
