I would like to think I'd do the same as Maia. <br /><br />As for Izzy, her yin fen addiction wasn't in the books. They probably were just trying to find something for her character to do.

Yet, she has no problems using Cleophas to stop Valentine, even when it means defying Luke.<br /><br />That was my favorite part of the episode. Clary was both smart and reckless, a combination that really worked. I liked how she knew Cleophas was up to no good, but basically decided to disconsider Luke's plans and run with her own very risky idea.<br /><br />Although I like the overall story, I'm not sure I like some of the choices the writers are making:<br /><br />- I know Magnus and Alec are a fan favorite couple, but I just don't see what's the big deal about them yet. Magnus wanted to take things slow for Alec's sake, Alec disregarded him, and that wasn't addressed. We barely learned how their first time was for both of them.<br /><br />- I'm not sure I like Izzy's addiction storyline. Surely the writers could have cooked something better for her character arc? Well, at least it's allowing the actress to show she can act.<br /><br />- Simon and Maia looked sooo cute together. And I agree with you, Shari, that it was pretty awesome of her to give him a second chance. So why would the writers bring Simon and Clary back to the table? What a boring turn.Lamounierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00225447169375363236noreply@blogger.com
