Tropes

  • Asshole Victim: By the time Maia finally kills Heidi, she has done enough atrocities that you probably won't feel remotely sorry for her.
  • The Bus Came Back: Aline returns to the New York Institute to assist in Jonathan's capture.
  • Break Them by Talking: Aline taunting Clary for failing to capture Jonathan while they spar together.
  • Cruel and Unusual Death: Heidi ingesting holy water from Maia's neck, resulting in her turning to stone and disintegrating into dust.
  • Hypocrite: Heidi calls Isabelle one for refusing to forgive her for her crimes, even though she had done the contrary with Raphael even after figuring out his plans to torture her by merely ordering him to leave town rather than turning him over to the Clave as she should've done in the first place. With Alec in earshot while interrogating her, he calls her out on it.
  • It's All My Fault: Clary feels guilty for allowing Jonathan to escape.
    • Luke over his massacred pack that he thinks he deserves to be punished for having abandoned them.
  • It's Personal: It becomes crystal clear that Aline is more than willing to kill Jonathan for murdering her cousin, Sebastian.
  • Jerkass Has a Point: Alec is right in telling off Isabelle for letting Raphael's tortures on Heidi go unpunished due to her friendship with him, and that his wishes to change his life for the better do not justify what he did.
  • Karma Houdini Warranty: After getting away with most of her crimes, including the werewolf pack massacre, Heidi meets her demise through a vengeful Maia, who kills her by tricking her into biting her so that she can ingest the holy water she injected herself with, finally putting an end to her reign of terror for good.
  • Never My Fault: Aline refuses to accept that it was her who worsened Clary's attitude, through Lilith's rune, by provoking her about letting Jonathan go.
  • Put on a Prison Bus: Griffin, Josh, Elle and the other vampires involved in the werewolf pack massacre are arrested by the Clave.
  • Shut Up, Hannibal!: Clary gives this to Aline by punching her multiple times, but she loses control when the rune influences her behavior to the worse.
  • Ungrateful Bitch: When Aline questions Jace on how many lives is Clary worth, he tells her she means a lot to him and reminds her that she saved her mother's life from the briefly resurrected Valentine back at the Gard. But what does Aline do to repay Clary later on? Trying to beat the crap out of her and then twisting the knife further by callously criticizing her for failing to capture Jonathan. She never apologizes to her either.
  • What the Hell, Hero?: Alec to Isabelle for merely banishing Raphael even after she found out about his painful experiments on Heidi.
