In the second episode of Wizards of Waverly Place season 2, entitled "Beware Wolf," the Russo family faces a new magical challenge. Justin (played by David Henrie) is growing hair all over his body and exhibiting odd behaviors, leading his siblings Alex (played by Selena Gomez) and Max (played by Jake T. Austin) to conclude that he has become a werewolf.
As they try to figure out how to reverse the curse, the family discovers that Justin's condition is not caused by a traditional werewolf but rather a "transferable curse" that can be passed on by a single werewolf to someone who has been scratched by them. The curse will not wear off until the werewolf who originally passed it on decides to remove it.
In order to break the curse, the Russo siblings must find the original werewolf, which proves to be a difficult task. Along the way, they encounter a group of teenage werewolves who ultimately lead them to the culprit, a menacing werewolf leader known as the "Alpha."
As Alex and Max come up with a risky plan to try and lift the curse from Justin, they must also navigate their sibling rivalries and try to keep their magic a secret from the mortal world. Meanwhile, their parents, Jerry (played by David DeLuise) and Theresa (played by Maria Canals-Barrera), are dealing with their own marital issues as they try to reconnect through a couples therapy session.
With plenty of humor, action, and family drama, "Beware Wolf" is a fun and engaging episode of Wizards of Waverly Place that showcases the unique abilities and challenges of growing up in a magical family. Fans of the series will love seeing the Russo siblings work together to overcome this latest magical obstacle and continue to grow and learn from their experiences.
