"Shadowhunters" episode 6 revealed the past of Clary Fray's (Katherine McNamara) mother, Jocelyn (Maxim Roy).
Luke (Isaac Mustafa), Clary's father-figure, was the one who told the new Shadowhunter about the truth between him and her mother. Jocelyn and Valentine (Alan van Sprang) were once married, but Luke, who happens to be Valentine's parabatai, came in between them.
The episode also revealed why Jocelyn chose to keep the truth away from Clary for so long.
Viewers of the show who are not familiar with Cassandra Clare's "The Mortal Instruments" book series were a bit annoyed with Jocelyn's decision, but now they have been treated to the truth.
"I read fan comments, and I know some people don't like Jocelyn because she hid the truth from Clary," Roy told TVLine about her character. "I felt she was misunderstood, so it was really important to me to portray her in a good light."

The actress added: "Her goal was always to come clean and be honest, and she regretted not doing it sooner. Personally, I would have told her sooner - at least a couple of days before her 18th birthday."
Roy had previously spoken about Jocelyn's hesitation to tell Clary about the world their family belongs to.
Speaking with Hypable, the actress explained: "I think it is pretty simply, it is just a mother's instincts. She says pretty clearly 'I don't want her to be a part of our world.' I think it is a very complex world and she doesn't want her to know about her father. Jocelyn really admires the mundane world and finds peace in that world and she wants peace of her daughter."
The actress also teased that fans of the show should watch out for episode 10 because it will feature a "different version" of her character, Valentine and Luke. She also said that episode 13 will feature more of Jocelyn.
"Shadowhunters" airs Tuesdays, 8 p.m. on Freeform.
