"Alex Russo, Matchmaker?" is the twentieth episode of Season 3 of Wizards of Waverly Place, and the seventy-first overall of the series. It first aired on July 2, 2010.
Overview[]
Alex sets Harper up with Justin's best friend Zeke for the school science fair. But Alex becomes frustrated when she sees that Harper and Zeke are actually interested in their science project than sharing romantic feelings for each other. She then casts a spell to make sparks fly between them, which literally happens when they touch. Meanwhile, Justin creates a water-powered engine, while Max "creates life" by finding items under his bed and putting them in a barbecue grill.
