Jace's absence will put Alec in a vulnerable state in the "Shadowhunters" Season 2. He becomes helpless, since he does not know who to turn to anymore. He becomes clueless on how he should deal with the fact that his Parabatai is now with Valentine.
"He's not handling it well. He's not himself at all. [Part of himself ] is missing," Daddario said as quoted by Blasting News.
