[MAGNUS' APARTMENT]

[It's a flashback. Alec and Magnus are having breakfast.]

MAGNUS: Mm... These waffles are unbelievable. Even better than your French toast.

"I've gotten better a cooking" said Alec happily.

"It's a miracle" laughed Maryse.

"I'm not that bad mom" defended Alec.

"I thought we already have had this discussion" laughed Jace, "You're awful at cooking Alec"

ALEC: I've been getting good, aren't I?

MAGNUS: Mm-hmm.

ALEC: I'm thinking about taking the next step. [Magnus leans in, interested] Crêpes.

"Risky" joked Izzy.

MAGNUS: Ooh... Careful. A man can get used to this type of treatment.

ALEC: Oh, you haven't seen anything yet. [rising and holding his hand out] Care to dance? [Magnus smiles and leans back in his chair] What?

"You can't dance" said Laina, raising her eyebrows.

"Well, I can't argue with that" said Alec fairly.

MAGNUS: Oh, I'm just remembering Havana. [Alec rolls his eyes.] Salsa dancing at the Tropicana? I still have nightmares of your two left feet.

Everyone laughed.

ALEC: Oh, it wasn't that bad.

MAGNUS: Hmm...

ALEC: I've been practicing.

MAGNUS: Really, now? OK.

[Magnus takes Alec's hand and gets up. Magnus slides the furniture out of the way with his magic. They start dancing with some jazz music in the background. Alec takes Magnus in a pose, holding him.]

"Wow" said Ginny, "It looks like you have been practising" 

ALEC: Magnus, I do believe you're speechless.

[They switch positions.]

MAGNUS: I'm a lot of things right now, Alexander.

Magnus and Alec grin at each other. 

[They continue dancing. Magnus leans out.]

ALEC: Magnus, stay with me.

[Alec pulls Magnus back and they dance closer together.]

MAGNUS: I'm here.

ALEC: Stay with me.

[They start turning and turning.]

MAGNUS: Slow down. Slow down! [They lose contact, their hands let go.] Alexander!

[Magnus is drifting away.]

ALEC: Magnus, stay with me!

Everyone gasps.

[Cut to the present, Alec's office, where last episode left off. Magnus is unconscious on the floor. Alec is feeling his pulse.]

Everyone looks worried.

ALEC: Stay with me! Come on! Come on, Magnus. Stay with me. Come on!
