Shadowhunters season 3 episode 8 preview: Can Malec, Izzy, reach Jace?

Shadowhunters season 3 episode 8

Shadowhunters season 3 episode 8 coming up carries with it the title of “A Heart of Darkness,” and what you are going to see over the course of it is a continued effort to try to turn the tide.

The good news for some of our heroes is simply this: Jace is now in custody. With that in mind, the Shadowhunters can all breathe a collective sigh of relief that they don’t exactly have to worry about him taking people anymore. Yet, one of the problems that comes along with that is simply this: He’s also not separated from the evil within him, either. He’s still the Owl and there is a whole lot of work to be done. To go along with that, Lilith is still out there and Clary isn’t exactly in a great spot. What we are trying to say is simply this: While we’ve seen a few characters take some steps forward now, some are still frozen in place or in big trouble. There are only three more episodes coming up this spring and by the end of those, we’re hoping that there will be a chance to get at least some resolution — but not too much of it, given that there is still another batch of ten episodes on the other side.

Below, the Shadowhunters season 3 episode 8 synopsis gives you a pretty good sense as to just what is coming up next:

Magnus, Alec and Isabelle try to reach Jace inside The Owl, but even as powerful as Magnus is, can he help the Lightwoods retrieve their brother from his demon prison? Maia and Jordan join Simon on the hunt for Lilith, while Luke tries to find a way to get to Clary. (Guest starring Anna Hopkins, Chai Hansen, Alexandra Ordolis and Nicola Correia-Damude)

Expect this episode to be scary, but also expect a good bit of movement forward as we get closer to a big showdown with Lilith. Shadowhunters has never been a show to slow down momentum as we near the end of a season / half-season and we have a hard time thinking that they will do so here.
