Premise
Justin is now a graduated wizard and no longer needs to take wizard training classes with his fellow siblings. Alex now feels the need to step up her training skills with a little help from Harper who now lives with the Russos. Justin also continues his relationship with Juliet (Bridgit Mendler) while Alex finds new love in a werewolf named Mason (Gregg Sulkin). However, both relationships end badly, with Juliet being transformed to look her real age and Mason turned permanently into a wolf. However, Justin manages to move on with help from Harper and Alex resumes her relationship with Mason after "country magic" restores him to human form.
Justin attempts to fulfill a number of achievements he thinks make up a successful senior year at high school, including joining the basketball team, being elected student body president, hosting a big party, and winning the science fair with a water-powered engine. Alex has a romance going off and on in this season. Max falls for his first girlfriend. The season finale has the family kidnapped by government agents for being wizards. Tricked into believing an alien invasion is coming, Justin tells the agents magic exists, leading to most wizards being captured. The Russos manage to escape with Alex declaring they need to tell the world the truth to save the wizard world. (the season 4 premiere would reveal the whole thing was a test for Alex and Justin).
