Shadowhunters | Season 2, Episode 18: Alec Spends The Night With Magnus | Freeform

[@shreayapatki8426]

I love Alec's small smile when Magnus says "Must be something in the air." but then he quickly pulls a straight face again.

[@PY-qg5rg]

Because he winked😁😍

[@amandacorbett4785]

I feel like it's more of a hidden DAMN

[@jesusfoot6587]

"straight"

[@wut727]

Was that even part of the acting lmao

[@belhlv]

Correcting, His gay face*

[@malinbohman6550]

I just can't with Magnus' facial expressions (more specifically, his eyes) in the flashback. So damn expressive and open and honest; it feels like looking right into his soul, no walls or barriers. Harry is doing a truly incredible job.

[@ducktapeextrodinare]

Absolutely! I also really like Matt's body language in this scene. It's always struck me that when Alec confesses that he trusts Magnus, he rolls his shoulders in a way that seems more like a stretch, like a weight is lifted, than a shudder or an uncomfortable movement. And then cause Harry's awesome you see Magnus catch that and kind of lose himself for a moment in how puzzling and interesting he finds Alec to be. And BAM you got yourself natural-feeling and genuine chemistry between two characters.

[@tanzilaaktermim6635]

That's why they're called actors... I love them both so much....

[@elodie9230]

righttt omg im so in love with harry as magnus 😭

[@theerthapk1391]

Me toooooo

[@TheEquinoxka]

I was thinking to me like find somebody who looks at you like Magnus looks at Alec ♥

[@Chadult]

But Magnus is so freaking charming in this scene. This 2+ minutes were really needed to help me understand why Alec actually chose Magnus in 1x12. It is so obvious in this scene he is really affected by him and is fighting against it.

[@stephanielorraine1898]

omfg yes you are so right *-*

[@swan_909]

Well you also understand why Magnus falls for alec so badly. He is a cat lover.

[@Chadult]

Oh wow, I came to watch some Malec at 1 am after a sudden burst of nostalgia and I am one of the top comments 😂😅 still one of the best malexmale couples

[@sophyoung903]

Magnus: "I'd lose all my credibility if my people found out I let a shadowhunter spend the night". Magnus: *Goes to Alec's wedding and kisses him Malec: totally in love Magnus: oh well,

"Trust makes you do strange things" is my absolute favourite line from this scene!!

[@Mi_9538]

These two carried the show on their shoulders. You can't tell me otherwise

[@taylormoon177]

Yep without malec the show would have been nothing

[@MissLilyputt]

The fact that Alec has trusted Magnus since almost the moment they met is very telling. Alec doesn’t strike me as someone who easily trusts, easily smiles or shares what he’s feeling.

[@evacados]

Harry shum jr needs to get tips from magnus and start wearing eyeliner and glitter.

[@goingcrazy2127]

LoVeMusiC35 yess

[@areejk7286]

I think both Magnus and Harry look amazing. They're two sides of a gorgeous man

hell yes

I love how Magnus's contact for Alec is Alexander and not Alec! I can't take the cuteness of Malec!

[@theaferrer9643]

I JUST noticed alec's super inconspicuous almost smirk at 1:55 after the "something must be in the air" comment, then his straight-faced stare before leaving.. Matt does an amazing job acting with these little quirks!

I have always liked Magnus' dressing sense, style and the way he carries himself but he looks really good here even with less makeup then we are use to seeing on him

[@NWednesdayQuansah]

I love that Matthew Daddario's New York accent came through a bit in this scene. :)

[@viizz8446]

Magnus always so honest about what he feels , alec does feel but realizes later. This different way to show yourself is so beautiful . Harry looked so gorgeous here and his performance is always marvellous ❤️ And there is matt ahhh.... Man he is so adorable

I love Harry Shum Jr's acting.... He showed the hope and the disappointment that magnus feels when he approaches Alec and is rebuffed so beautifully in his facial expressions.

[@cheriescott5766]

Magness : It’s rare to find a shadow Hunter was such an open heart He has an open heart for pretty much everyone but himself because he agrees to marry a woman and only you Magness can make him love for himself not for others

[@Lonarix1]

1:07 Magnus is able to see through Alec’s rough cold (semi douchebag) exterior.

[@daungocanh]

Wasn't this after the scene Magnus told Alec he unlocked something in him after a century of being closed off? Why were they so bickering in the next morning?

[@Chadult]

Deena Dau Yes, this scene takes place after 1x06 when Alec decides to stay for "just one more drink" at Magnus'. In 1x06 Alec says screw the rules and screw everything when Izzy tells him, his parents want him to get married. So he kind of lets down his walls for that night. In the morning he might realizes he has to think of his family and his family's honor so he is upset with himself. Plus I think he realizes he actually does like this handsome warlock and it is easier to distance himself from him. It is just my personal opinion on the scene tho.

[@Pendragon-zw6jl]

Alec's probably a bit hungover. Haha.

[@TheWeb3d]

Did anyone else notice that Magnus magically had season 2 facial hair in this scene? 😂 continuity fail haha

[@vivd8187]

I don't know why Alec never have flashbacks of Magnus and him. I am pretty sure he has flashbacks, but they never show it, only Magnus's.

[@Bruxa1298]

I just noticed that here (0:50) Alec has his jacket on but second later (0:51) he's putting it on again. xD

[@catw]

Yeah they must have edited two takes together, the audio of Magnus' dialogue also jumps

[@bellacontess5388]

I really like this scene. The only thing bothering me is that there are things that don't match the other scene like the tunic Magnus is wearing or his facial hair... Still so sweet and personal.

[@vivd8187]

I think it would be hard to fully recreate the scene since they can't redo the entire apartment, shave Harry's facial hair & wait for it to grow back to film the next episode, and the tunic from season one is probably missing since fashion departments tend to throw clothes away, give them to other studios, or sell them after a season is finished.

[@veins_wind]

Забавно вспоминать, как Алек бегал от Магнуса в начале их отношений 😅

[@HN-ql1hi]

I always ask myself: What if Jace is gay? Would Alec choose him over Magnus? Is Magnus his second choice? I ship malec so hard, but I always ask myself this🤔

[@Shadowwing1994]

No. If you've read the books, there's a scene where Jace confronts Alec about his feelings for him and tells him that Alec doesn't really love him, but he chooses him because he's a "safe" choice. Then he dares Alec to kiss him when he denies which Alec was just horrified to think about. Alec ends up choosing Magnus at the end of that book. It was such a great scene

[@omararevalo9320]

Shadowwing1994 Oh yeah I remember that part, Alec was so terrified because here it was, something that he wanted for so long, for his whole life, and when he could finally get it, he backed away because he realized that he truly never loved Jace like that, deep down he only thought he loved Jace because he was the only option in sight. Nobody else. But then it was sooner than later he figured out that he was born to love Magnus.

[@parkerjowers7182]

In the books, Jace asks Alec to kiss him and when Alec says no Jace says see you only say that so you can get over magnus

[@payasvinigupta3304]

@@omararevalo9320 Which book?!

[@jonas57able]

I thought about it too. The love of his life is Magnus. It was said in the series that nephilim loves only once and forever. If he really loved Jace, it would be an unhappy love for the rest of his life.

[@kissthesky951]

At 1:19 after Alec days “I don’t know why but I do.” Why is he looking like that? Is he checking Magnus out? Or is he looking past him at the cups Magnus sat down before? I just realized that was a strange little exchange xD

[@swan_909]

He is always checking out magnus. Check out any of their one on one interactions and you can see he cannot tear his eyes away from Magnus. Same goes not Magnus. My point is when they are with each other, regardless of how many people are with them, they are focused on each other
