Did Selena Gomez Die in the Wizards Beyond Waverly Place Finale?

Spoilers for the season 2 finale of Wizards Beyond Waverly Place.

There’s an old saying about closed doors leading to new opportunities, but in Season 2 of *Wizards Beyond Waverly Place*, that ‘opportunity’ turned out to be a pretty dark place. Selena Gomez’s character, Alex Russo, returned only to seemingly meet a quick end – a common TV trope where beloved characters are brought back just to be killed off again. This has happened before in shows like *Angel* and *Halloween: Resurrection*. The twist? Alex discovered she had a long-lost daughter, Billie, and ultimately sacrificed herself to seal a dangerous portal to a dark, magical dimension. An evil wizard opened the portal, and the only way to close it was from *inside* that hellish place. Talk about a downer.

Don’t worry, getting stuck in another dimension is a common trope in fantasy stories! Think of it like Alex Russo from *Wizards of Waverly Place* – she got a similar storyline to Angel in *Buffy the Vampire Slayer* Season 2, thankfully avoiding the fate of Cordelia Chase, whose character was written off due to a real-life situation with the actress. The show ends with Billie and her brother Justin promising to find SelGo eventually, perhaps after her honeymoon with Benny Blanco.
