‘Shadowhunters’: Are Magnus’ Tears a Sign of Danger for Malec?
Exclusive
Is our favorite Shadowhunters couple in trouble?
While the relationship between bisexual warlock Magnus (Harry Shum, Jr.) and Shadowhunter Alec (Matthew Daddario) has been in a good place during Season 2B, recent developments could put a wedge between them in a big way.

It all began when Azazel (Brett Donahue) switched the bodies of Magnus and baddie Valentine (Alan Van Sprang) a few episodes back. That ordeal awakened some very serious memories Magnus had long buried in his psyche. As the always-in-control Magnus tries to keep the pain to himself, things look to be reaching a serious place in Monday’s episode, entitled “A Problem With Memory.”
While we’ve seen some intriguing photos released from the episode (like the one above) featuring a serious talk between Magnus and Alec, what should we think when we see Magnus moved to tears (see photo below)? What does all this mean? Will the power of Malec’s love get the guys through this rough patch? Or is this the beginning of something much more serious?
Leave a comment below and let us know what you think.

No, magnus' tears are not a sign of danger for malec.They're a sign of the trauma he went through and suppressed for years that he is now opening about to his supportive boyfriend.

I am glad we are getting some vulnerable Magnus moments. He's always the go to guy with all the answers. It's easy to forget he has fears and issues. He needs a confidant outside of Alec that he can lean on to steady him. Alec has that in Jace and Izzy. Does this mean Magnus and Alec are breaking up or having problems....no. I think this will make them closer.

I think Magnus' tears will make the relationship more stronger. Is one of the first moments when he get more emotional and vulnerable. Magnus has trust in Alec so he can open to him.

In my opinion everyone of us has his own story. Magnus has his one and he has spent years and years trying to hide it. He has spent years and years trying to be another person. But the love between he and Alec is something he has never felt before. No matters how hard he tries to hide himself, Alec has something special that makes him understand Magnus has something bothering him and at that point Magnus can't help but open himself to Alec. Magnus' tears are pain tears: he is worried about how Alec could react knowing his past, he doesn't want to lose him. That is not the way Malec ends. That is the point from which it begins. Every couple has its ups and downs but, if they really love each other, they will get through everythget, and I'm sure Malec love is strong enough to get through Magnus' past.
