As the Arabians become accustomed to Fabletown -- and vice versa--, there is much talk at the mayor’s office and the Farm of a d’jinn the Arabians have brought with them, something akin to an act of war. Fearing that Fabletown has ensorcelled Sinbad, Yusuf releases the d’jinn and makes three wishes that bear ill for his master, Baghdad, and Fabletown.
