== Synopsis ==
 
 
[[Alex]] meets [[Mason Greyback|Mason]], a transfer student from England and they start to date. He is perfect in every way with the exception of his view of art, which is dogs and parts of American history. Alex tries to make him more American, by throwing water balloons at people (being rude) and laughing in appreciation (making fun of [[Mr. Laritate]] and [[Harper]]'s clothes). In order to make him a better artist, Alex takes matters into her own hands by putting a spell on Mason to make her his new artistic inspiration.
 
 
Meanwhile, [[Justin]] trains for finding the mummy that took away [[Juliet Van Heusen|Juliet]], so [[Jerry Russo|Jerry]] gives Justin goggles where you can see behind you so Justin wouldn't have to look into the mummy's eyes and get turned to his minion. During which it is discovered that, when [[Max Russo|Max]] cast the spell that set monsters running loose in an idiotic attempt to sabotage Justin's monster hunting, one of the escaped monsters is said mummy, thus making Max himself indirectly responsible for both Juliet's kidnapping and the deaths of all of the other monster hunters.

==Quotes==
 
*Mason: How would you feel about maybe going for some tea later? Then you can make me say all kinds of things that make you laugh.<br />Alex: Okay. But if "go for tea" doesn't mean a date, then I'm going to be really embarrassed. And that whole accent thing, girls see right through it. (under her breath) No they don't...
 
*Harper: Don't you see what you've done? Used magic to make your relationship OK. I don't think that's right.<br />Alex: Harper, doing what's right has never really been my goal.
 
*Mason: My name's Mason Greybeck.<br />Alex: Mason Greybeck. That sounds like the name of a game show host. Like, "Mason Greybeck, I'll take Bridges for a thousand, please."<br />Mason: (imitating game show host) Oh, your question is, "I think you're cute. What do you think of me"?<br />Alex: (imitates buzzer) We're out of time.
 
*Mason: Sorry. I think you dropped this.<br />Alex: No. That's not mine.<br />Mason: Yeah, I know. I needed an excuse to come and talk to you.
 
==Allusions==
 
*Harper: Mr. Russo, are you quoting Billy Joel?<br />Billy Joel is a famous singer and pianist, who single-handedly wrote a large number of hit songs during the 70s, 80s, and 90s. The quote that Jerry told Alex "Don't go changing, to try to please me" is actually lyric from Billy Joel's hit song "Just The Way You Are".
 
*Alex: Mason Greybeck. That sounds like the name of a game show host. Like, "Mason Greybeck, I'll take Bridges for a thousand, please."<br />This is referring to the game show Jeopardy, hosted by Alex Trebek. In the game, contestants ask for a special category and wager certain amounts. For example the contestant would say, "I'll take (certain category) for (certain amount), Alex".
 
*Character Name: Mason Greybeck<br />Mason Greybeck, the name for Alex's boyfriend, has nearly the same last name of Fenrir Greyback, a werewolf in J.K. Rowling's famous book series, Harry Potter
