Mostly, though, she’s pretty awful and one-dimensional so far. Her affection for him is as clear as day. She’s a little bit frosty to Alec and downright cold to Isabelle. She is 1) not a hugger, 2) unless you’re Jace. Maryse is not Gilmore-esque in the slightest. They essentially have a Gilmore-style mother-daughter bond. She conveniently shows up immediately after Clary has confided in Isabelle about what an awesome mom Jocelyn is to Clary. She is the anti-Jocelyn, in terms of moms. For one, the Lightwood family expands: we meet Alec and Isabelle’s mother, Maryse. Several big developments occur in this episode. That whole bit is a little silly, because if you’re really going to take something supposedly dangerous away from someone, why would you hide it in the floor in the middle of a busy communal building and show them exactly where you put it? C’mon, Grumpy Cat Alec. Naturally, Clary summons Jace to her room to be like, “Hi, hey, WTF is going on here?” Jace has no idea nor does Alec, who at least has the wherewithal to grumpily snatch the necklace and sequester it in a rune-locked box in the Institute.
The episode picks up squarely where we left off last: Clary’s just come out of a necklace-induced vision of her mother, unconscious, and gross Valentine spoke to Clary through the necklace.
With “Moo Shu to Go,” at least a lot happens and the plot chugs along. They tried to move forward in their plan to rescue Jocelyn/retrieve the Mortal Cup and just made things worse. Last week, I mentioned that “ Raising Hell” felt like a huge waste of time, largely because the entire quest to retrieve Clary’s all-important memories was rendered useless when Clary had to kill the memory demon in order to save Jace. The bad news: that’s… still not saying much. The good news: this week’s Shadowhunters is much better than last week’s completely useless episode!
