Valentine basically is trying to break him in the beginning of our season.

So hopefully we get to focus on that a little bit more in the future.
And were getting a flashback to the paratabai ceremony, right?Yeah I saw it the other day.
My girlfriend was with me at the time and she cried.

Thats where we find Jace, grounded in his sense of loyalty and his sense of duty.
Theres definitely a part of him thats like I want to explore this relationship.
Youll see what happens.
You all have new showrunners this season.
Is there a distinct feel?
Its more grounded in reality, so the issues and the danger that we face do seem more real.
