The four-part series finale of Wizards Beyond Waverly Place aired on Disney Channel on August 4. The story focused on the Russo family battling against the villain Nicodemus Penwulf, with Billie rescuing her biological daughter Alex from a mysterious alternate dimension. In the process, Alex reunited with her estranged father Damien, who was also Nicodemus' son, and her childhood friends Harper and ex-boyfriend Mason who turned out to be dead.
The finale brought back Mason, which was a complicated decision as bringing him back without revealing his death would have enraged fans, while killing him off was the cleanest choice. Mason's cause of death was not revealed, but David Henrie, the show's star and executive producer, speculated that he might have passed away due to old age. The series finale also offered a silver lining, allowing Alex and her deceased ex to find closure.
