From where I last left off, Clary and Jace had entered Hodge's greenhouse. Once they were there, Jace told him about the happening with Luke and the strange men. He told Hodge about how the men, Pangborn and Blackwell, called Luke by the name of Lucian.

Clary immediately said no, that her mother would never do such a thing, but Hodge insisted. He told Clary that her mom may not have had a say in it, because Valentine was her husband!
