Yeah I agree. I don't think Alec would do well with Lyd (Nickname for Lydia pronounced Lid) He's the way he is. Malec deserves a chance in the tv show. That's the way they are and I say go for it. Alec needs to be happy. Lyd would make his life a living nightmare with clave reports AND running the institute. He's not really happy is he? Anyways the last episode...
SPOILERS For the latest episode (aired on 3-22-16) I'm a little late because it's the day before the finale but why not?
Pros:
Alec and Izzy bonding
Clary knowing it was val before anyone else did
Simon at the end.... (Simon)" She met a guy and he was full of stuff, but I'm over it" (Luke) "Simon, there's something else that happened at Renwicks. Valentine is also Jaces father. Clary and Jace are brother and sister." (Simon) " Oh, Well would you look at that!" and then he happily skipped out the room Best shadowhunters moment to date! Well except for magnus and the pretty boy thing. (Magnus) "Ok pretty boy let's go." (Jace) Starts to leave (Magnus) Oh not you. Him. (Alec) That was pretty good too may be tied.
Magnus helping Izzy in court.
Lyd was great when she withdrew the charges.
Cons:
Jace and Clary are siblings. I read the books but I was hoping the tv show would briefly touch on it and then solve it. Great. Whoot! Whoot! All aboard the Mope Whoops! Sorry I meant Season Two hype Train! Whoot! Whoot!
Jace not noticing that it was val. Like he is his father but he should have noticed something was off.
The Clave has the mortal cup.
The Clave's actions. Sure they were jerks in the books too but still. Oh yeah! Lets strip one of the best shadow hunters of her runes for something stupid. The number of nephiluim is rapidly dropping and we need all we can get but who cares? I know they can use the mortal cup to make more shadowhunters but in the books they forbade it. I wonder what this Clave will do.
Jace is now depressed. Time for oh no! I'm Val's son I'm evil! And Clary's my sister but I still llllooovvveee her! Oh woah is me...
He did mope in the books but it wasn't the focus of everything. Being "good tv" It will probably be the focus of multiple episodes.
