Ronald takes advantage of her and makes her evil like him and his father so that they can rule. Alex then reveals she is in love with Dean, so he is transformed back. Dean is back and starts calling Alex his girlfriend. Tired of lying to her best friend, she reveals magic to Harper by taking her into space on her birthday.
