Wizards Beyond Waverly Place Season 1 Finale Clip: Selena Gomez Returns In Unexpected Visit To Justin's Home

Selena Gomez's Alex Russo returns to Wizards Beyond Waverly Place in a new clip from the season 1 finale. The Disney Channel series continues the story of Wizards of Waverly Place, as Alex leaves powerful young wizard Billie (Janice LeAnn Brown) under the tutelage of her brother Justin (David Henrie) in the hopes he can guide her in becoming a responsible magic-user. With Gomez and Henrie reprising their roles for Wizards Beyond Waverly Place, the series has revealed that Billie has a role to play in a mysterious prophecy.

DisneyChannel has unveiled a new clip from Wizards Beyond Waverly Place's season finale. As Alex returns to the Russo household to pick up Billie, both siblings are left hiding secrets from one another. While Justin and Giada (Mimi Gianopulos) excuse themselves to the kitchen to avoid addressing Billie's absence, Alex is contacted by Kirsten Vangsness' Bigelow McFigglehorn, who wants her to bring Billie back. Check out the clip below:

What Alex Russo's Return Means For Wizards Beyond Waverly Place's Finale

Everything Has Led To The Prophecy

With the next episode set to immediately pick up after the events of the previous, the Wizards Beyond Waverly Place season finale will finally explore what Billie's season-long storyline has been building towards. Six months after she first arrived at Justin's home and took her place as his student, Billie learned the truth about her role in the prophecy, and was left fearful of what she could do and reluctant to use magic. However, with Billie missing and in harm's way, the young wizard may have little choice.

As such, Alex's return marks the high stakes of the season finale. Now not only the family wizard but also holding her own seat on the Wizard Tribunal, Alex has a role in upholding the laws that govern the usage of magic, despite her rebellious youth. With no confirmed Wizards Beyond Waverly Place season 2 just yet, it is possible the showcould end its first season with a resolution to Billie's prophecy story.

Alex Russo's Return Has Been Carefully Handled By Gomez

While she may have led the original Wizards of Waverly Place, Gomez has made few appearances throughout the sequel show, only appearing as a special guest star. Despite this, Gomez has still played a role behind the scenes by serving as an executive producer for the pilot. This allowed her to have a hand in influencing the return of her breakout character.
