In this episode of Wizards of Waverly Place season 3, Alex Charms A Boy, Alex Russo, played by Selena Gomez, develops a crush on a boy named George, played by Shane Harper, who works at the Sub Station. He is a shy and socially awkward person who Alex finds cute and endearing. Alex struggles to get his attention, and even as she tries to ask him out on a date, George does not seem interested in her.
To make things worse, Alex accidentally casts a spell on George that makes him fall in love with her, causing him to act in a way that is out of character. At first, Alex is flattered by his attention, but eventually, she realizes that she does not want him to be in love with her because he is not himself.
Upset that she cannot fix the spell, Alex turns to her brother, Justin Russo, played by David Henrie, for help. Justin advises her to tell George the truth, but Alex is unsure of how to do that without hurting his feelings. Meanwhile, George continues to pursue her relentlessly, and Alex grows increasingly uncomfortable with the attention.
As the episode progresses, Alex eventually tells George about the spell, and he is hurt at first, but ultimately he admits that he never liked her in the first place. George tells Alex that he was only trying to impress her and that he does not want to be in love with someone who does not like him for who he is.
In the end, Alex learns a valuable lesson about honesty and the importance of being yourself. She apologizes to George, and they part ways, with Alex vowing to never use magic to manipulate someone's feelings again.
Overall, Alex Charms A Boy is a classic episode of Wizards of Waverly Place that showcases the humorous and heartwarming moments that make the show a fan favorite. It is a must-watch for fans of the show, as well as anyone looking for a fun and engaging family-friendly sitcom.
