[ALEC'S OFFICE]

[Continuing where the last episode left of. Max has just tracked a hair of Jonathan to Sebastian, who was rummaging through the drawers of Alec's desk. Now Max knows that Sebastian is Jonathan.]

All the Lightwoods are tense. Everyone else is nervous to

SEBASTIAN: [chuckles] That's very, very impressive. [circles around Max to the door] Your tracking skills. Isabelle has taught you very well. [closes the door] Perhaps a little too well.

Izzy's eyes fill with tears

"That son of a bitch" growled Jace.

[Max grabs the letter opener from the desk and throws it at Sebastian. It's a hit. Sebastian pulls it out of his stomach. Max grabs the poker by the fireplace and they fight. Sebastian slams Max's head against the desk, so he passes out. ]

Laina lets out a chocked sob. Izzy bursts into tears. All the Lightwoods sit next to each other and comfort each other.

[Sebastian hears Clary's voice in the hallway.]

CLARY: Lindsay, hey. Have you seen Alec?

[Cut to hallway.]

LINDSAY: He should be in his office. I just saw him there. Is everything okay?

"Please notice him" begged Laina, tears were streaming down her face.

CLARY: Yeah, Jace and I just need to update him on something. Thank you.

[Clary opens the door and finds Sebastian calmly sitting in one of the chairs, holding the letter opener between his fingers.]

CLARY: Sebastian. I was looking for Alec.

SEBASTIAN: Yeah, as was I.

[They both get a notification on their phones.]

CLARY: [looking at her phone] And now we found him. Urgent brief in the Ops Center. Perfect timing, huh?

SEBASTIAN: Yeah. Yeah, perfect timing.

Clary sighs.

[Clary exits the room, so does Sebastian after he glances over one more time at the desk. Under the desk, there lays Max unconscious.]

"By the Angel" said Alec.

All the Lightwood are crying or close to crying, everyone else is looking at the screen sadly.

[STREETS]

[Maia and Simon are coming back from their paddleboat trip. Simon is chuckling.]

MAIA: Okay, but next time I get to control the steering of the paddleboat.

SIMON: Those ducks are gonna be fine, I told you.

MAIA: Only because they narrowly missed you at the last second.

SIMON: Well, you know, I was helping them. Um, I was... I was honing their survival skills. Ducks are getting very lazy these days.

No one had the heart to chuckle.

MAIA: [chuckling] Okay.

[Simon looks up at the sky.]

MAIA: What?

SIMON: Full moon. Should I be worried?

MAIA: Yes. Very.
