[edit] Synopsis

Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow.

Phoebe frees a genie, Jinny, from a bottle, only to find that she has been tricked into becoming the genie herself. Anxious to put Leo and Piper back together so he can be conceived, Chris uses Phoebe to make his wish come true (for them to "sleep" together), but she takes his instructions too literally—they literally fall asleep. Feeling that he is losing Paige, Richard steals the bottle so he can wish Paige back into his life. And Paige receives a little insight from Chris about his identity.

[edit] Enemies

  • Bosk: A sinister low-level demon who attacks by shooting light darts at his victims. He can be vanquished with the following ingredients: mandrake, dark toasted wattleseed, dwarf milkweed, keeled bindweed.
  • Jinny: She was trapped inside a genie bottle as punishment for not wanting to marry a sorcerer. The bottle carries a warning saying that whoever wishes the demon free will be stuck for eternity. She is a demon with the power to throw fireballs and looking for the lost city of Zanbar.

[edit] Neutral Beings

  • Genies: Magical tricksters who are enslaved to grant three wishes to whomever possesses the bottle they are tied to. Once all wishes are granted, they may find a master. They may be set free if their master wishes them free.

[edit] Artifacts

  • Eye of Akbar: A magical amulet that protects the wearer from witchcraft. (A similar artifact was used by Agent Jackman in Witch Way Now?, which also prevented the sisters' magic from working.)

[edit] Trivia

  • The episode title is a play on words to the television series I Dream of Jeannie.
  • Chris tells Paige that he is the future son of Piper and Leo, and that Phoebe knows it as well.
  • This is Richard Montana's final episode.
  • Richard's brother Steve previously appeared in two episodes where as his brother Benjamin previously only appeared in the episode Love's a Witch.
  • Richard's current level of powers and his means of "materializing" bear a striking resemblance to Cole's power level and "fade shimmering" of the fifth season.
  • Leo reads the inscription on the genie bottle, which is in Arabic, from left to right. But the Arabic language reads from right to left, unlike English.
  • In the episode Be Careful What You Witch For the Genie stated that a Genie cannot grant a wish to kill someone, but Richard did so. NOTE: Genie's are tricksters and this could easily have been a lie.
  • Richard strips his powers in his final episode.
  • Richard wished all of "the Charmed Ones" alive. Although Prue was a Charmed One at the time of her death, the Charmed Ones have been reconstituted after that to include Paige and create a new Power of Three, thus, Prue did not come to life when Richard fulfilled his wish.
  • Phoebe has her final premonition in this episode as she loses all her 'active' powers in Crimes and Witch Demeanors however she gets her power of premonition back in episode Styx Feet Under.
  • When Phoebe asks Chris if she ever hit on him he says no. However in Oh My Goddess (Part 1) Phoebe hits on Chris after being turned into the Goddess of love. Chris also believes that she hits on him once again in the episode The Power of Three Blondes, however he later learns that this was not in fact Phoebe.
