"Zeke Finds Out" is the eleventh episode of Season 4 of Wizards of Waverly Place, and the ninetieth overall of the series. It first aired on April 8, 2011.
Summary
When Alex gets bored of Zeke's failing magic tricks, she decides to use magic to make Zeke's tricks come true. Everything goes downhill when Zeke tells Harper he believes he is a wizard and is now booking a magic act, thanks to Max, at the sub station for a kid's birthday party. Since Justin and Harper are tired of Alex ruining things all the time, they decide to leave everything up to her. Harper, not wanting to let Zeke make a fool of himself, tells Alex to tell Zeke the truth about wizards, but she is reluctant to, as exposing wizardry to another mortal could get her kicked out of the wizard competition forever if anyone finds out.
Zeke goes on with his belief that he is a "wizard", but he finds out Harper is keeping a secret from him, so he breaks up with her. Alex realizes what a mess she created and on the day of Zeke's magic act, she makes Harper disappear before she can expose wizardry to Zeke, which freaks him out. Harper, who was flashed back to school, runs back to the Sub Station and begins arguing with Zeke. Seeing the two fight and Zeke panic, Justin takes matters into his own hands and freezes everyone except for himself and Zeke.
Justin tells his friend that he is a wizard, not Zeke, and that it was his powers behind Zeke's sudden improvement of his tricks. Still not believing him, he flashes Zeke into their lair and unveils the secret to him. Zeke suddenly believes Justin as he claims it finally explains why he saw Mason become a werewolf and how he and Alex were in Night of the Sorority Party Disaster: Part 2. They go back outside and tell Harper and Alex, who are fighting, that Zeke now knows about the existence of wizards, but he promises he will never tell anyone. Zeke and Harper reconcile their relationship, and Alex and Harper apologize and make up with each other.
