‘Once Upon A Time’ season 6’s episode 5, entitled “Street Rates”, is set to introduce Aladdin and Princess Jasmine in Agrabah. Aladdin holds an importance in Emma Swan’s role as the current savior.
According to Den of Geek, the incoming episode of the fairytale televisions series is set to introduce Deniz Akdeniz’s Aladdin and Karen David’s Princess Jasmine. The new promo for episode 5 opened with Aladdin flying in with his famous magic carpet as he meets Jasmine in a bejeweled lair. A cloaked Jasmine tells him, “I’m here to hire you, Aladdin,” before she reveals her identity.
The synopsis stated, “Enter a whole new world of magic and adventure. At the heart of a wondrous quest, lie the answers this savior is seeking.” Details remain scarce for season 5 but it seems that Aladdin carries the secrets that will link up to Emma Swan’s (Jennifer Morrison) role as the current Savior. Episode 5’s title pertains to Aladdin’s nickname in the original animated musical Disney film released in 1992.
Oded Fehr’s villainous Jafar is also set to appear as the new episode takes audiences to the world of Aladdin. The new episode may explore Aladdin’s origins and how he came to be the savior of Agrabah. According to Blasting News, the flashback scenes will follow Jasmine heeding assistance from Aladdin in order to retrieve a valuable secret weapon that will cut Jafar's hold on the Sultan, thereby rescuing the city from destruction in the process.
Meanwhile, back in Storybrooke, the Evil Queen proceeds in tricking Hook (Colin O’Donoghue) and the Charmings and forces Emma to reveal her secret. Emma then races against time to find out what became of Aladdin and is joined by Regina (Lana Parilla) and the other heroes. They are eventually led to the Cave of Wonders, where Aladdin’s fate was revealed.
‘Once Upon A Time’ season 6’s episode 5, entitled “Street Rats”, is scheduled to premiere on ABC on October 23, 2016. It is directed by Norman Buckley and written for the small screen by Edward Kitsis and Adam Horowitz.
The popular fairytale drama television series was created by Kitsis and Horowitz and takes place in the fictional town of Storybrooke, Maine. The film’s characters and elements are based on various fairytales, Western literature, and the Disney franchise.
