MAGNUS: She also offered shelter to every Downworlder.
BONNIE: Maia won't just leave her pack.
LUKE: That shelter comes with a price. Loyalty to the Queen. Maia wouldn't go for that. And she wouldn't desert her pack.
MAGNUS: Maybe she found a lead on Valentine and is off hunting him down.
LUKE: Without telling me?
SIMON: Come on, Magnus, we're not making this up. She's got Maia.
MAGNUS: My warlocks are on the roof holding the wards up to keep Valentine in the city. I have to go help them, but the next time I see the Queen, I will inquire.
[Magnus pats Simon's shoulder and then takes the stairs to the roof.]
SIMON: Luke, if something happens to Maia because of me–
LUKE: I'm not going to let that happen.
[SEELIE COURT]
[Maia is sitting at a table. The Seelie knights are watching her. The Queen is sitting at the other end of the table. A nymph puts another dish on the already filled table.]
SEELIE QUEEN: Surely you must be starving. Please, eat.
MAIA: I'll pass on the lamb chops and get a ride back to Brooklyn, now.
SEELIE QUEEN: That's not very polite.
DAVINA: Kidnapping her there was very polite.
MAIA: Why am I even here?
SEELIE QUEEN: If you don't feel like eating, you don't have to. We can just chat. Tell me about the Daylighter.
MAIA: Simon?
SEELIE QUEEN: We don't have to play pretend. You know him well. He's quite fond of you. As you are of him.
MAIA: And how do you know that?
SEELIE QUEEN: My eyes and ears are everywhere. But there are certain things only a girlfriend would know.
MAIA: [rising up and approaching the Queen] The Downworld is on the brink of annihilation if Valentine gets to that lake. As much as I would love to talk to you about Simon, I really need to get back.
SEELIE QUEEN: I assure you, dear, you are perfectly safe here.
MAIA: I am not talking about me. I'm talking about my pack, my friends–
SEELIE QUEEN: Patience.
TYELR: You should not talk to a wolf about patience.
MAIA: Right. Patience isn't really my thing.
[Maia leaps over the shorter end of the table, but she doesn't come far. Vines have strapped around her ankles and are pulling her back.]
SEELIE QUEEN: Take her to the wander-woods.
[THE INSTITUTE, OPS CENTER]
[Alec and Rose pull up a holographic map of the city. Clary, Theo and Jonathan and Jace join him, Rose and Izzy.]
CLARY: Anything new? We tried tracking him together, like we did with for you, but for some reason, it didn't work.
JACE: Magnus' wards are up. Valentine must still be in the city.
ISABELLE: Thank the Angel for Magnus and the warlocks.
ALEC: Well, they didn't raise the wards for us.
