Clary looks relieved and happy to see her mom again! This world may be a little creepy, but if her mom's okay, then it's all good. What happens if Clary doesn't want to go back to the real world?
Valentine probably thinks this little game Clary is playing is cute, but aren't 18-year-olds a little too old for silly games like this. And, seriously, does Clary really think that little stele will hold back Valentine if he were to erupt into monster form? Not likely, but wouldn't that be cool?
Silly, Clary, waving around that stele like it's a toy. I guess it's better to be safe than sorry just in case Valentine is still the "Big Bad" Valentine in this alternate world...and I use "Big Bad" veeeerrrry loosely.
The boys must've had a pomade party before the big party. Magnus with slicked back hair is too much. Alternate world or not, Magnus would not be caught dead looking like this.
Simon and Izzy have arrived! I wonder if Valentine wishes it was Simon dancing with his daughter instead of Mr. Cool. Why does Izzy have to be "nerdy" to be Simon's girlfriend in this alternate world?
Clary: Simon, how could someone as smart and perceptive as you not realize the person sitting right there is in love with you? Simon: I guarantee you I'm not the only smart, perceptive person to make that mistake.
