![]() The Seelie Queen has been one of the most devious and manipulative characters within the entire series, and it was time for her to get hers. Of course, what is a little change without a protective mother to see it through? Enter the Seelie Queen ( Kimberly-Sue Murray). By breaking the bond between Clary and Jonathan, his true nature was finally able to be released. After leaving Aliconte, Jonathan begins to undergo a change, metmorphisising into one of the most powerful demons the world has ever seen. The peace and tranquility that settles in with Magnus home does not last long as Jonathan makes his final return. And by the Angel, they are going to need it. She believes she can make a rune that will bind a downworlder to a Shadowhunter, allowing them to share their powers between them. Enter Clary and her mysterious ability to create runes rather than just activate them. Yet, Shadowhunters can not enter Edom, as death will greet them the minute they set foot. The stakes are only raised higher and the hour glass thinner as he learns Lilith ( Anna Hopkins), the Queen of Hell, is preparing to attack Magnus, removing him from his high ranking position in hell and reopening the rift. Determined to save him and bring him home, Alec ( Matthew Daddario) was unrelenting in his mission to bring him back – I mean there is a wedding to plan! source: Freeform Unfortunately, for the rift to stay closed, Magnus would have to stay in Edom forever. When “City of Glass” concluded last week, Magnus ( Harry Shum Jr.) had sacrificed himself to save Aliconte and the mortal world, closing the rift Jonathan ( Luke Baines) had ripped open between earth and hell. Here, it felt as though there was supposed to be more. When a series ends, I want to feel as though I can imagine the future for these characters, satisfied that their adventures can continue within the imagination. While the two hour series finale, broken into two separate episodes, should have been enough, I felt that much of the remaining time (like parts of the season) was rushed to satisfy fans and to deliver resolve, and a shocking twist in Clary’s ( Katherine McNamara) storyline (with only about 10 minutes remaining!) left me still hopeful for a save, left me wanting to see more. Unfortunately, it is time to say goodbye. Even flying a plane over Netflix Headquarters with a banner reading #SaveShadowhunters was not enough (never mind Times Square and San Diego Comic Con). Last year, Shadowhunters fans did everything they could think of to save their beloved show, to no avail. And I know I am not the only one to think so. If only there could have been just one more season – though in honesty that probably wouldn’t be enough. While bowing out to a mostly satisfying conclusion, I find it was not enough to quench my desire for more. It is with sadness that I begin my last and final recap for Shadowhunters.
