Wizards Beyond Waverly Place - Saved by the Spell

The best thing about this episode of sending Billie (Janice LeAnn Brown) to a non-magical school for the first time is the pun in its title (sadly the episode doesn't feature Billie stopping time and directly speaking to the audience). Despite being told "no magic," Billie uses plenty in her attempt to win over Roman's (Alkaio Thiele) best friend Winter (Taylor Cora) after striking out making friends of her own. Playing on the tease from the previous episode we also see a phantomus drawn to the school by Billie's magic and attack Roman (after he steals her wand).

The B-story involves (Mimi Gianopulos) getting a little more exposure to the magical community in needing to deliver an important message to her husband... from a frog. Despite having the wand, we don't see Roman attempt to use it which still leaves the question about whether his father's magical talent has been passed on. By the end of the episode another person is added to the core cast who now knows about magic and the attack by the phantomus provides another reason for Billie to be more careful with spells outside of her training.
