[THE INSTITUTE]

[Clary is having a nightmare. We hear a young Clary's voice.]

YOUNG CLARY: Mom, I don't wanna do this.

MAGNUS: She won't be a child forever, Jocelyn.

JOCELYN: For now, I don't want her part of our world.

[Clary sees Magnus take her memories and she wakes up frightened. Jace is sitting on her bed.]

JACE: Hey. It's okay, I'm here. You're safe.

CLARY: Jace...

JACE: What?

[Jace changes into Simon.]

Everyone looked at Clary or at the screen weirdly. 

SIMON: You all right? You still seem... kind of freaked.

CLARY: Simon.

SIMON: Hey. I got you. You're okay. Must have been one hell of a nightmare.

CLARY: You have no idea. I was strapped to this piece of furniture and my mom was there. She kept telling this guy to protect me, but then he reached his hand into my skull and ripped out my brain.

SIMON: Hello, Freddy Krueger.

CLARY: Tell me about it. What are you doing here anyway? Shouldn't you be in the infirmary?

SIMON: Uh, I just... really needed to see you.

[Jace was about to walk in, but he sees Simon is there. He waits by the door without letting Clary and Simon see him.]

CLARY: I am so sorry. My messed up life put you in danger.

SIMON: I'm fine.

CLARY: No, if those vampires hurt you... I couldn't live with myself. You're all I've got left.

SIMON: Don't get me wrong, I'm totally grateful that your friends got me out before the vampires drained me like a Big Gulp. But... How well do you know this Jace guy? Can you trust him?

"Really mundie, I just saved your life" said Jace.

CLARY: I think so. I mean, he saved my life... and yours.

SIMON: True. But I was thinking... all of this craziness started the minute you bumped into him at Pandemonium. You think that's just a coincidence?

CLARY: Honestly, I don't even know what to think anymore. All I know is I have to get my memories back. I need to know who I really am. Maybe... Maybe I saw where my mom hid the Cup, and... and if I could just remember... I could save her. I just... I wanna put all this behind me. But I don't know this world. I don't even know where to start looking. I'm... I'm just lost.

SIMON: Hey... okay. Look, start with what we know, okay? We know that dreams are remnants of memories.

CLARY: Right. Yeah.

SIMON: You saw your mom in the nightmare, before the guy was reaching into your brain.

CLARY: Yeah, she... she called him Magnus. I mean, it's completely random, I never—

SIMON: Magnus Bane?

CLARY: Maybe. Why? How do you know that name?

SIMON: I heard it from the vampire. You know, the shockingly hot one, it was...

"Really" said Remus amused.

[Clary raises her eyebrows] 

SIMON: Sorry, uh, Camille... She was super pissed at this Magnus Bane guy when I told her that someone took your memories.
