Quick recap

Cordelia and James's marriage of convenience starts turning real. A killer murders Shadowhunters at night and steals their runes. The culprit is Belial, James's grandfather, using Jesse Blackthorn's body. Lucie uses her power to command the dead to force Belial out, and Cordelia wounds him with Cortana. Then Lucie orders Jesse to live, and he breathes again. Cordelia learns she didn't swear loyalty to a hero but to the demon Lilith, and is now her paladin. Grace confesses she used a bracelet to make James believe he loved her. Cordelia sees the two together, gets it all wrong and leaves for Paris with Matthew.
