Shadowhunters recap: 'This World Inverted' 

The People v. O.J. Simpson: American Crime Story

What do Disney executives do when they have a new movie coming out this summer? Why they promote it on

of course. Clary takes a page from Alice’s book and tries to Wonderland her way to a dimension that can take her directly to Valentine. Sounds tricky, doesn’t it? Why yes. It was. Let me see if I can break it down for you. 

Meliorn feels indebted to Clary for helping him escape the Clave. As a thank you, he’s willing to help her find her father. He casually mentions that Clary’s necklace is made of portal glass. The portal this particular shard belongs to just so happens to be in an alternate dimension. Meliorn can get her there using a magical door that is protected by the Seelie Court. All she has to do is find the portal in that universe, find someone to magic the thing to life, and not get sucked up in the other Clary’s world. Piece of cake.  

Jace is not happy about this arrangement. Not only does the Clave not know about these interdimensional doorways, but Clary is the only one who is allowed to go through. Plus, there are no shadowhunters in that world. Demons don’t exist. Downworlders have conformed to regular mundane lives. There’s no guaranteeing that she’s going to get out once she’s over there. What if she’s stuck forever? 

Clary is Clary. Logic and reason are time wasters. She hands Jace the tarot card with the Mortal Cup for safe keeping and marches straight into the doorway Meliorn has conjured. Suddenly, she’s in her family’s home eating breakfast with her evil father and kidnapped mother. Had she not pulled a knife on Valentine right there in the kitchen, it would have been a lovely reunion. 

Back in the real world, Izzy has ditched her professional attire for an outfit that’s a little more her style — short and tight. One of the shadowhunters details the ambush where they lost Meliorn. Although vampires and werewolves were involved, he’s quite confident he was bested by a shadowhunter. All eyes focus on Izzy. Lydia arrests her for high treason, and Alec freaks out that his fiancée is willing to send his sister to trial. I think a few sessions of pre-marital counseling for these two is definitely in order.

Speaking of crossed signals, for some reason Simon thinks that he can waltz up to werewolf headquarters without a care in the world, even though he’s a vampire now. Not so. Luke has to call off his pack when Simon announces that he’s the new vampire ambassador to the wolves. Luke tries to explain that being allies is possible, but it’s not going to be an easy process. Especially when Simon still wants to snack from the neck of everyone around him. Patience is a virtue. And Simon isn’t very virtuous right now. 

Meanwhile, Simon in the alternate world is a doll. His glasses are back, and he’s dating Izzy. An Izzy who wears Star Wars T-shirts and is a major technical dork. Alec is a walking ad for Ralph Lauren, and Jace works at the coffee truck where all the nerds hang out, including his girlfriend, Clary. One passionate kiss from Jace makes everything in Clary’s world fuzzy. She settles into the makeout session. Then she remembers a TV spot showcasing physic reader Magnus Bane. He’s her magical way out of this completely lovely and totally normal world. She summons the courage to back away from Jace’s advances so she can convince Magnus to help her.

Magnus isn’t having it. When Clary tells him she’s a shadowhunter, he scoffs, reminding her that they haven’t been around for hundreds of years. Since she doesn’t have any runes to show him, or a seraph blade, she uses an old standby. She draws pictures of demons. Somehow, a few hastily drawn sketches unleashes the will in Magnus to try and restore his dormant powers. Convenient. Clary hands over the portal shard for Magnus to channel its powers, and his magic is restored. He can see the portal’s location. It’s in the Institute. Luckily, Clary’s father is celebrating an anniversary party there that night. It’s a Mad Hatter theme. Regular Magnus would have LOVED this. I suspect he would have dressed as some retro version of the Cheshire Cat.
