Shadowhunters season 3 episode 17 will arrive next week, and it will possibly feature the engagement of Magnus and Alec. This is good news for Malec fans, and knowing Alec, he will do everything for this big proposal. Viewers know the character is preparing for this moment to make it romantic, especially since he loves Magnus and they've been through almost everything.
The promo of Shadowhunters season 3 episode 17 shows Alec is ready to propose to Magnus, that's probably a great moment and big celebration for the Malec fandom. It's like the culmination of their journey, wherein they were able to overcome all the struggles and finally getting a happy ending. But then, even though they'll be engaged and get married in the future, their journey is Shadowhunters will not end. Their engagement of these characters is just like a stepping stone to more adventures.
For now, viewers need to wait for Shadowhunters season 3 episode 17 to find out if the engagement of Magnus and Alec will happen. But based on the promo, the latter is very determined to be with the one he loves. In episode 16, viewers have also witnessed one of the most romantic scenes in the series so far, Alec would do everything he can to save Magnus. He proved that he's always there for him, like being with him during his one of the most difficult decisions in his life - to shed or not his magical skin to protect his future.
It turns out the magic of Lorenzo Rey in Magnus' veins was poison; that's why it's hurting him. That's also the reason why he collapsed in the previous episode. Eventually, he decided to remove the magic out of his body and move forward as a human, so he felt alone and without identity, but Alec is willing to do what he can to change that. At the end of episode 16, he asked his mother for the family ring, indicating he'll be proposing to Magnus. That's what viewers will probably see on Shadowhunters season 3 episode 17.
Aside from the possible engagement of Malec, the promo also shows there's a bit of concern with what's going on between Clary and Jonathan. She wanted to talk to him in his little Hannibal Lecter chamber. However, Jace warned her he'd gain more control over her if she gets closer to him. Jace is really worried, but viewers know Clary wouldn't want anything to do with Jonathan, but he can control her, and the psychological torment is the reason why it's dangerous for Clary to go near him.
Shadowhunters season 3 episode 17 will air on Tuesday, April 8.
