Izzy, Malia and Lydia took the gurney with the dead body inside. "Take him down to the morgue. And call as soon as you identify what kind of demon we're looking for. Until Victor comes back from the trial, I'm running point on this one." Lydia explained, before her eyes darted to Malia. "Please, keep a low profile. Victor already highly dislikes you." She said. Malia gave a nod.

Izzy pushed the button for the elevator, but quickly held up Lydia who was about to walk away. "Lydia... Have you heard anything about Jace?" She asked. "I know you're worried, but I'm still waiting, just like you." Lydia sighed. "Except I'm the one who put him there. If I didn't make that deal with Aldertree–" Isabelle was cut off as Malia piped up, "Jace would've been torn apart by wolves, and Alec would be dead."

Lydia nodded, "She's right. You did what you had to do."

The girls push the gurney out of the elevator, as Raj walked by. "Wow, that guy's heart is obliterated. And I thought I was having a rough weekend." He spoke. "Show some respect for the dead." Lydia growled.

"I'm just saying, I've been in his shoes before. Except my demon's name was Kathy." Raj replied, as Malia narrowed her eyes at him, "You know, you might wanna cut back on the smartass remarks after getting manhandled by a warlock." She said, with a devious smile as Raj seemed embarrassed, before he walked away. Lydia giggled before she looked to Isabelle and Malia. "Let me know if you find anything." She said, before walking away.

"She's cute." Malia stated, as Isabelle laughed, "Where were you a couple weeks ago when she was trying to marry my brother?" She asked. Malia shrugged, "I was lost somewhere on Earth wrecking havoc." She responded, casually.

What the girls didn't notice, was that a cloud of black smoke left the corpse and went into a pipe.

The alarm blared loudly, causing Madi, Clary, Lydia, Alec, Izzy and Malia to run into the training room. They stop in shock, finding Welkie dead.

"Oh, my God, Welkie!" Clary blurted, as Madi's eyes darted to another guy, who was sitting against the wall, shocked. "What happened?" He asked.

"Classic possession hangover." Madi stated, shocked. "Hole punched right through his chest." Malia added, looking down at Welkie's body. "Just like our mundane in the morgue." Izzy said to Malia.

Alec knelt down by the victim before sighing. "The demon's in the Institute."

Moments later, Lydia announced, "Activate emergency surveillance. Victor's unreachable. I've ordered the Institute be put on quarantine until we kill this thing."
