[STREETS]

[It's nighttime. A woman, Morgan, is walking on the street, she's calling with someone.]

MORGAN: Look, it's for a good cause and 100% of the cover goes to charity. Just tell your friends it's open bar. Cool. I'll send you an invite now.

[Morgan hangs up and starts sending the invite. Then she hears growling. She sees a dark figure a few feet away from her, Lilith's Owl.]

"Oh no" said Molly.

Everyone looks at the screen nervously.

[ Nervously, she turns around and starts walking. When she looks back, the Owl is gone.]

"Where has it gone" said Clary nervously.

[ Then he's suddenly in front of her.]

Everyone looks startled.

[ She screams. She tries to fight him but he pushes her onto the ground. The Owl starts sucking out her soul, but then she grabs pepper spray from her purse and sprays it into the Owl's eyes.]

"She got him with pepper spray" said Laina in surprise "That means the Owl is part human"

"Like Jonathon" said Izzy.

Everyone looks nervous, was Jonathon still alive. They had saw what  he had done a few episodes ago. But if he was alive than why would Lilith try to resurrect him.

[ She manages to escape. A police officer drives up to the sidewalk.]

OFFICER: What's going on ma'am?

MORGAN: I was attacked by this beast!

[The Owl watches Morgan and the police from a roof.]

[THE INSTITUTE]

[Jace is still investigating the footage. He's sleepy. In the reflection of the screen he sees Sebastian.]

Everyone sighs.

"Another one" said Alec.

SEBASTIAN: Who are you looking for, Jace?

[Jace turns around and Sebastian quickly comes closer. He puts a knife against Jace's throat.]

Everyone gasps, Clary squeezed Jace's hand.

SEBASTIAN: I'm right here. Right under your little angelic nose.

JACE: It's you.

SEBASTIAN: In the flesh. It's exhausting, isn't it? Always being one step behind.

[Jace grabs Sebastian's arm, gets up and tries to punch him, but Sebastian disappears into thin air.]

Rose sighs.

CLARY: Jace? Are you okay?

[Clary walks down the steps of the Ops center.]

JACE: Yeah, I'm good.

CLARY: It's 4:00 in the morning. I just got back from patrol, but what are you still doing up?

[Jace has sat down again. Clary approaches him.]

JACE: I have to go through this surveillance footage.

[Jace activates a rune on his upper arm.]

"Your gonna burn out" said Alec worriedly "Runes can only last so long"
