I know people were complaining about the characters in the beginning of the show, but you could really see the bond & brotherhood that Alec and Jace have that you didn't see in the movie. I feel like the relationships between the characters are displayed better than the movie.

[@ladycopine]

+Mjada93 I think people are mostly complaining about Jace who is just NOT Jace AT ALL...

[@heyitsme1475]

+ladycopine I agree with you, he runs after clary like a dog, he's not like that in the books. I like Dom though, he's an great actor and he makes me like jace (I never quite liked him in the movie or the books)

[@DreaLinh]

+ladycopine I think Dom made him quite likeable, I didn't really sympathize with Jace in the books. What's terrible on the show though is how gives up everything including his parabatai without a second thought to follow clary, who (understandably) never considered once to leave simon behind.

[@ladycopine]

mvah07 I don't really think so.... I don't know why so many people disliked him in the books like wow! He's a very funny character, cocky and sarcastic with a dark past... we didn't quite see it with dom and his relationship with clary doesn't make sense AT ALL in the show, why would they even be together..? It's sooo forced.... it was subtle in the first book and it made sense... on the show he's ready to sacrifice everything for her but why...?

[@DreaLinh]

yeah exactly :D I like Dom playing jace as an individual but when it comes to the relationship it's just badly written. Their first kiss felt so out of place. I just cringed while watching it. I guess that's the reason why so many people are angry. Jace left his parabatai behind just like that, while clary would never sacrifice her friendship with simon. The funny thing is that in the books her relationship with jace felt rushed too but there's been at least some sort of intensively written moments that gave them a reason to sort of fall for each other :D

[@kirajade660]

In this series, I have to say Alec, Simon and Magnus are freaking adorable but Dominic and Matthew's acting in this scene was absolutely amazing.

[@amandam602]

matthew daddario's acting in this episode is spot on!

[@nctoli]

+amandam602 YES. He was great this whole scene, but when he had the blade to Jace's neck up until Jace left, you could see the inner turmoil on his face. The way he just fell back on his butt like a broken child. He's incredible.

[@misssnugglebunny8093]

Matt has said on multiple occasions that Alec was never in love with Jace, but it was more of an admiration and since Alec started off by being closed off and ignoring himself in a way, Alec didn't know what it was so he took it as romantic feelings Or something

[@vicg.6344]

@@misssnugglebunny8093 In TV Show its only admiration? As far as I remember, the books made it clear it was romantic attraction

[@judigemini178]

Miss Snuggle Bunny that’s such an evasive answer why didn’t he just own the unrequited jalec arc? It makes more sense that he was secretly in love with jace, in fact it would make perfect sense for his character & is more believable...especially with how he acts when it comes to jace in his relationship with magnus

[@elenadowns2861]

Unfriendly reminder that Jace can feel all the hits he lands on Alec like he was hitting himself, and the same for Alec and the hits he lands on Jace.

[@thefannibalist3156]

[@annak6484]

I know this is really dramatic and serious but can we all agree that Alec is a badass fighter

[@pamelaj3214]

I think granted that Alec's whole world was turned upside down, finding out his parents were part of the circle, having Jace, his parabatai neglect him for some random chick and having the weight of his family's reputation on his back, his actions were justified here. Like Alec said, Jace has always been a rule breaker, so he's less likely to bat an eye over breaking the law. But Alec, the eldest and someone who had rules drilled into him since he was a child, is not just going to easily be able to do that. I can relate to Alec on this because of my own upbringing. It takes an internal change, not others telling you to change for you to grow as a person. As we saw later, Alec gradually began to change but it wasn't immediately after dating Magnus, although it might have seemed he was on the rule breaking train because of their relationship. No, it took his own internal self-growth and life experiences. That's what makes Alec such a great character and why he has one of the best character development arcs (along with Maryse). So yeah, I get why people were frustrated with Alec, heck I had those moments too, but I don't think he was being a jerk here. He was just lost with the new discoveries and situations coming at him.

[@1tim3_JB]

Also Jace and Clary didn’t understand that Alec and Izzy were the ones getting into trouble for Jace and Clary’s decisions and actions. They weren’t the ones getting reprimanded and getting forced into marriage. They didn’t take that into consideration and instead made things worse. Alec’s family drives him, he loves his family so much that he’ll do anything for them. His family was being reprimanded so he did what was best. Following orders and trying to get back on the claves good side.

[@reesewithoutaspoon]

I saw someone say on tiktok this also had a bit to do with his feelings for Magnus He thought he was in love with Jace, but not here's this warlock who, instead of flirting and paying attention to Jace, like Alec is used too, Magnus gives him all the attention, and he flirts too Like Alwc said, he's conflicted and confused

I was a surprised Jace knew about Alec's feelings. Just goes to show me, at least, that Jace isn't as oblivious to things other than Clary. And was really surprised Alec said no to them working together. Another amazing scene from this episode.

[@VictoriaTraducciones]

+Rinhail1 well in the books (I think it was in City of Glass, I may be wrong on this) Jace says to Alec that he knew about his feelings but that he didn't think he was truly in love, that Alec only felt admiration for him and he confused that with love, Alec almost had a heart attack at hearing that Jace knew all the time XD he just didn't say since when he knew

[@Rinhail1]

+Vicky Vargas Oh, okay. Maybe they'll put that scene in the next season. I would love to see Alec's panicked expression, lol. He's so cute. And this is off subject, but I just realized youtube cut parts of my comment. It was a bit longer and some words are missing. Oh well. Thank you for shedding some light on this scene.

[@lollypoppalace]

I love how Jace thinks it all about him

[@izuko-sanhh1480]

+Lia Cruz This is so true ! I mean yes maybe he was a part of this at first but this right now this is about alec and his love for his family and his love to his duty ! And jace just keep getting him in trouble and their family the sme and alec just keep cover fo r them UU this had to ens one way or another

[@lovexstory2896]

+Lia Cruz he doesn't. Jace never said it was all about him. In the first couple of episodes, yes Jace was a douchebag. But recently it's Alec who has blinded by his own plan that he has forgotten how much his actions are affecting those closest to him. ( also, if you listen carefully Jace says *"i'm really sorry"* at 0:47 before tackling Alec)It's Alec who is being really selfish here, he hadn't tried to help Meliorn who is very important to his sister, and Alec's own vengeance against his parents for being in the circle has blindsided him. It is Jace who is thinking about everyone, including Meliorn because he realises how important Meliorn is to his sister, and he realises that jailing Meliorn could have wider implications on the whole shadow world.

[@ladycopine]

+Lia Cruz but for most of the part it is because of him....

[@DeeDiDi9876]

Alec's plan is to protect his family. Because most of his family is either too self centered of imature he has to do it. Jace is not thinking about everyone, he is just thinking about Clary. If he was thinking about everyone he would have never helped to steal the Mortal Cup. The cup was much saver in the Institute then in the hands of a reckless teenage girl. Instead, he was willing to sacrifice the cup for a life of one women who used to be part of a racist cult. They have killed many innocent people in the past, but yes, lets put everyone in danger just to save her. Meliorn is not important to Izzy. They just sleep together and "exchange" information. Other then that they do not have any other communication or connections. Book readers know what Meliorn truelly is. He and his people will only support the winning side, regardless of who it is. Hiding information about Valentine from the Shadowhunters does not help everyone in the Shadowworld. He is not some innocent who has been unjustly captured.

[@DRay4eveZ]

I was soo shocked that Alec overpowered Jace. I was like daaaamn #lovethisshow💓

[@reesewithoutaspoon]

​@@88Meava88 Jace was horrible to Alec in season 1

[@DreaLinh]

The way I see this is Jace acting like a lovedrunked fool, leaving his parabatai behind to follow clary when she isn't ready to give up simon. When i saw them fighting and jace yelling at alec for getting married on tumblr I was so hoping that it was because he feared alec would ruin his life for the family's reputation. It bugs me so much that he made it about him instead of thinking of his friend, or what consequences this would have for his family. Of course it's wrong what they are doing to meliorn but he starts to act like a reckless naive child just like clary, thinking this wouldn't have any consequences. Like are why? You are an experienced shadowhunter, why won't you think of a smarter way to do this without damaging the family that gave it all to you.

[@joshhuels5828]

thank you for saying this! I always felt like Jace treated Alec kinda badly in the beginning and used him.

[@darshnac1522]

I have just started watching the show, ans must of the fights that they had is because clary does something, alec cant stop her and then jace get angry at him because of it. Alec is the oldest there, and if he didnt think about the family who would? honestly nothing of this would had happen if clary wouldnt be that compulssive at the begginning, and jace, being the best shadowhunter that everyone talks about, would know that most of his desicions where made without seeing who could he hurt, other one than Clary

1:49 Wow! The moment Alec realizes what he almost did and just shuts down. That change in his eyes when you can see he looks hopeless. If I’m not mistaken, this escape is what Izzy ends up getting charged with treason for. Somehow neither Clary nor Jace get in trouble for it, but Izzy who really had nothing to do with this got charged. I can see why Alec wouldn’t want anything to do with Clary and Jace after that.

+Ms Claire Randall Fraser "We both know what this is about....it's about me. It's about your feelings..." is what the comment was probably referring to. Jace did make it about himself and it's not. It actually has very little to do with his feelings for Jace. It's about saving his family.

[@lovexstory2896]

+Liz Headley yeah true. I forgot Jace said that line. But keep in mind Jace doesn't know about the whole "save the lightwood name" so I do believe that Jace didn't intentionally make it about him. Jace was jumping to conclusions, grasping at straws because he's never seen Alec act this way before. In a way though Jace is also saving his family. Alec is looking at the short-term solution which is restore the Lightwood name to it's former glory and to right the wrongs made by his parents. In comparison, Jace is looking at the big-picture, he realises that if the Seelies/downworlders turn against the Shadowhunters that could prove detrimental to the Shadowhunters in the war against Valentine. Also, keep in mind, the Seelie scouts that were spying on Valentine were there on direct orders from the Clave, and now one of their own (Seelies) were killed. So of course the Seelie Court are not gonna react well when they find out that a Seelie is sent to his possible death.

[@caitlinrose4626]

+Ms Claire Randall Fraser I so agree

[@DreaLinh]

+Ms Claire Randall Fraser or they all get executed before they can even react. Izzy is already arrested. If he wants to change something, try something that is not so obvious.

[@noxfior]

The bigger picture? The bigger picture is that the Clave has a lot of power, not just over the shadowhunters. The bigger picture is that if you go against them, they have no trouble taking everything from you. The bigger picture is that if you want to go aga8nst them, you have to be really smart about it. Alec was seeing the bigger picture alright. Jace's the one that followed Clary everywhere forgetting what he was and putting his family in trouble. Alec was ready to pay with his own life to keep his siblings safe and to pay for their own mistakes.

[@thefannibalist3156]

In the books, I'd agree. But in the show, I was watching and wondering why we were supposed to side with Clary and co instead of Alec. Alec isn't working against them, but he knows it's important to work with your allies and your bosses, not against them. Some random girl shows up, who constantly gets them into trouble, uses half assed plans, never listens to them, doesn't respect their traditions, and gets everyone involved in her plans, risking all their lives for her personal reasons, and Alec is in the wrong? Like, because she's an alright person everyone is supposed to drop what they're doing and help her, and she knows better than all of them when she's just discovered shadowhunting? If I was Alec I'd feel pretty betrayed by Jace. Jace has asked them to risk their position and lives for some random girl he's met, and consistently sides with her over his parabatai/brother? That's not loyal at all.

Jace did not want to hurt Alec, so he was holding back, he let Alec beat him in this fight

[@milagrotorres5960]

​@@iamlinda100 Jace has undiluted angel blood running through his body, obviously he is going to be physically stronger... That Alec can matches him even with the bond active (and Jace is landing punches here too, because he is as emotional as Alec is) says a lot about Alec and his own restrains and skills. These two are something else altogether, there most be a reason why they worked so well as Parabatai and I think is the fact that they matches each other's step by step, even while fighting 😊

[@reesewithoutaspoon]

​@milagrotorres5960 Exactly! Thank you Of course, Jace is physically stronger, but Alec holds his own against him, so whether or not Jace let him win or not (which is sounding like they're calling him a bad fighter) doesn't matter Alwc could keep up with him, which was impressive in itself

[@gabivargas7640]

i love you alec 😍😍

[@eclatdenoisette5322]

Their acting in this scene is so good!

[@mouleli]

Alec is fooooooine 😍

[@allyb2802]

I was actually crying tho and I kept screaming for them to stop I can't

[@cinderella6563]

Watch today's episode.

[@allyb2802]

+Cinder Ella I watch it live ever Tuesday

[@rockingoutally]

MY JALEC HEART ❤️

[@hystericalwolf]

Personally I don't see the attraction in Jace but everyone has their opinion. I mean, Alec is hot af...

[@kimberlyadan3843]

aww thats sad so are they still best friend as u call it a parabatai

[@MissLilyputt]

This to me was more proof of how Clary’s influence was negative. Her meddling caused a rift between Jace and Alec. I don’t know why people still think of Clary as a good person. She was just like her mother, manipulating people to get her way and then trying to fix it when it all inevitably went wrong.

[@SandraLentzB]

Amazing acting! 😊

[@lucybull1371]

Anyone else just loves how have says " we both know what this is about" .....😂😩❤

[@somehoe1787]

...... just to feel better the people: On the book Alec said he wasn't on Jace's side :v but he was ALWAYS there but he just said it so he could help Jace later

[@st4love689]

one of the best scenes in the series

[@harmonyharmony9066]

#saveshadowhunters we need more shadow hunters

[@chawanwinchester3201]

I know it is 2020 but it’s still fun watching this and don’t say that I’m crazy but I wanted to see a little bit of Jalec because I guess their chemistry is hell 🔥

[@excellentcollins]

Amazing acting

[@krysia4005]

ow shit

[@bonnieanddamon3382]

I Loved This Scene 💜 My Favorite Characters Are Alec , Simon , & ' Isabella . 💜🙌

[@caitlinrose4626]

jace his face at the end broke my heart😭

[@heijigirl2438]

I so love the fight of Alec and Jace

[@mcerango]

His mood swings lmao

[@3kylajsmith]

Normally I would %100 support Alec, especially in the early season when Jace was a arrogant fuck boy, but what he was going to do to Meliorn was just wrong. I get how he was put in the position and how normally Jace and Clary are stupid and he has to clean up everything, but he was blindly following orders to torture someone, he had to know that was wrong. I glad in later seasons he stood against the Claves cruelty against the downworlders, when they wanted to chip them, while Jace forgot, the very thing he lectured Alec about.

[@ashamohammed2239]

I love alex and jace's bond but at some point alec had to make a decision best for him. It had to be torture for him over the years watching jace romance ladies and never portray those feeling for him. He had jace in one major aspect of his life but couldn't in the other. Then clary comes along and jace is instantly smitten, and he would feel hurt, even broken.

[@soapwoph]

Whenever the fight it breaks my heart

[@maurafaith8795]

This scene broke me

[@futon6434]

When Alec said no, it just showed how much he had grown

[@montseperezsolis3566]

this is my favorite fight!!!

[@hupywind8942]

they hearts will always beat as one, but is normal because jace and alec are trying to do the right thing, but that doesn’t mean they don’t care for each other. If their hearts wouldn’t beat as one they wouldn’t fight because they are ment to fight through all of this togather and they still love their parabatai and they are fighting from the feelings they feel not agreeing with things

[@joy4327]

I'm crying

[@sweetheart037]

Why do they move like they're in fast forward when they fight?? It would've looked more natural without it..

[@thefandomfish3071]

They are literally angel warrior people.

[@sweetheart037]

Lauren Lind I know, but it looks really weird

[@nourhanmultistuff8482]

I think it's the speed rune it makes them faster

[@elodie9230]

because they activated the speed rune

[@despoinapolyxr8964]

This scene hurts

[@jestinathomas300]

it looks like Alec wasn't even trying. or was Jace not trying. it looks like Jace got his ass handed to him. love them both though

[@tashawillams7183]

Alec really got it in with jace😂😂😂😂😂

[@noelene2349]

I freaking love Alec 😍

[@thaliabowen2006]

I love how jace doesn’t care that Alec loves him he’s like whatever

[@jace5701]

Jalec anyone?

[@fiona1164]

Nooooo don't ship brothers

[@88Meava88]

what jace says i dont want to life if we are on different sides. reminds me of lost souls.

[@chelseahalloran2195]

At first I couldn’t stand jace he seemed like a totally arrogant pompous but daaamn Hasn’t he proved me wrong

[@gem_sparks1276]

Can somebody please tell me what kind of martial arts is this?

[@imbrilol]

In conclusion: Alec is a better fighter than Jace when he’s mad.

[@jackooodano1]

I have not watched the show but read the books, Are they not parabatai in the show? Wouldn't them hitting eachother be like hitting themselves?

[@sydneygruber7004]

So since they're parabatai and their stronger when they fight together does that mean that this was pretty much the most epic fight ever?? Or were they weaker since the were fighting each other?
