Not feeling welcomed into the conversation Brynne stayed away from the conversation being had in Magnus's apartment. Clary, Jace, Magnus, and Luke were in the living room talking about Clary knowing where the Cup is. Jocelyn was smart and had disguised the Mortal Cup into tarot cards she painted to hide inside the Ace of Cups. Luke was able to answer the group to where the tarot cards were, Luke had them in his desk drawer back at the precinct. The trouble would be getting to the desk as Valentine has spies everywhere in the NYPD.
Clary and Jace went to the precinct with Luke who told them to stay outside not wanting to draw any attention. Luke was able to make it to his desk and touch the tarot cards only to be stopped by Internal Affairs who asked for his badge and gun. From outside the precinct, Clary and Jace were able to see Luke being escorted by two mundanes. Meaning it was time for Clary and Jace to give it their shot.
Jace and Clary both went into Luke's interrogation room to find answers, but of course, first, they made sure to use a rune for invisibility. Luke was a prime suspect in a murder investigation and he gave them the advice to assume that everyone has the Sight. In a storage room, the two Shadowhunters deglamorized themselves and went to the office with Clary's plan.
It involved Clary slapping Jace in a room full of cops, making it seem that Clary was trying to get away from her cheating ex. Clary walks away from Jace and he tries to follow the redhead only for cops to stop him allowing for Clary to reach Luke's desk. While she is looking through Luke's desk she finds out that IA took everything to a vault upstairs, so she leaves the precinct along with Jace.
"You know what? I'm gonna bring Alec with me next time. I don't think he's ever slapped me in the face" Jace says as the two exit the precinct doors towards Isabelle and Alec who they had called
"I'm sorry, I panicked," Clary says with a sigh
"Someone called for backup?" Isabelle greets the duo
"Yeah. What took you guys so long?" Jace asks the duo sounding annoyed
"Funny, I was gonna ask you the same thing" Alec quickly directs at Jace
"It's complicated," Jace says but doesn't elaborate as Clary shares the news, "We found the Cup"
"The Cup?" Isabelle stresses not knowing If Clary was messing with them or not
"Yeah, but then we lost it. We have to sneak back in the precinct to get it" Clary informs the team
"This is a disaster," Alec says making Jace look up at him
"Hey, demon pox is a disaster. This is an inconvenience. We just need a plan. That's all"
"What about a glamour?" Isabelle suggests not knowing what plans they had gone through that didn't succeed
"We tried that. Anyone working with Valentine will see right through it" Jace shares making everyone start thinking about a way to get past demons that could see they were Shadowhunters
"Can we ask Magnus Bane to portal us inside?" Clary asks not knowing the limits that magic had, as to her portals could take one anywhere
