Ah, so they became neighbors.
I wondered if Ray was living in the same apartment, but Ms. Eden’s current apartment is #323.
Good catch! Maybe this will be explained soon.
And yes, she still does have that bottle with her. So… how will it end up in Jean’s hands? Or will we find out that it is another bottle entirely? Keep following true believers!
Well, you got me curious about the door numbers, which lead me to something interesting.
Episode #323 of the Larry Hagman show Dallas was called “I Dream of Jeannie”.
Synopsis courtesy of IMDB: A mesmerized Bobby chases after the phantom woman that could be his beloved wife Pam. J.R. resorts to a bizarre technique to enlist the aid of legendary oil wildcatter Blackie Callahan in his quest for crude in Pride, TX.
I’m not sure what significance 310 has, if any.
Wow… she must still have some sort of power working for or with her. To have people buy her story all the way, and to get the apartment right beside Andy’s.
She might not have the power to consciously grant wishes anymore, but she seems to have that power looking after her.
Haji was the one that stripped her powers and memory, but Kazom was the one that showed up to look after her. I could see him secretly looking over her, nudging her to where she needed to be.
Yeah, Kazom can be a softie at times. I kind of like him.
Well, at least she found him. She certainly is resourceful. Now maybe Sid will show up again and clear up some of the mystery.
Sid wouldn’t remember her. He did write the TV show, but he wouldn’t recall where the ideas came from.
Doesn’t matter. He could confirm that “Anthony Nelson” is a fictional character, and that therefore she could stop looking for an astronaut. And even though he might not remember HER, that doesn’t mean that he wouldn’t remember that there was A genie. And she might be able to put two and two together.
She’s trying to solve a mystery. Any clues will help.
So now she’s figured out all but one thing…
Well, it’s better than nothing.
Now it time for a Sid visit, because, there still friend and know each other. But, once he show up at Andy door, then Rouyaa will see it and come over. At that point, Rouyaa will have to figure out which one of the two men was actually her original master. That will be interesting to see how CD RUDD chooses to work it out.
That would be funny if she decides that SID must have been the one to open the bottle…
most likely not but would be funny if it ends up they hooking up and Jean/Jeanie is actually there kid which kind of making things full circle in a sort of way.
Or am I messing up with what time line this is on right now ?
The dates are a little too far off for that. This is happening in about 1985 or so, and unless they hold off for another 10 years, that’s too soon to be Jean’s parents.
But I could see her eventually getting married to Andy, and selling her bottle to help pay for the honeymoon…
Jean claims to be 23 as of when she was sent to train with Kazom. If we assume that the “present” is 2009 (the year that IDOJB started posting), then 1985 would in fact be the year that Jean would be conceived.
Anyway, it’s nice to see Rouyaa and Andy becoming friends again even if they don’t remember their previous relationship. Also, having an apartment and a steady job means that she is making progress on building a new life instead of being adrift.
@ijuinkun:
Okay, I was thinking 23 as of 2016, so maybe the dates could line up. However, if Mrs. Eden is Jean’s mom, one would think that he wouldn’t be quite so oblivious about her. Or she about him. I guess we’ll see what CD has in mind.
Jean couldn’t be Rouyaa’s kid, at least not if she is the Ms. Eden at the apartments where they all live. Jean’s mother, if she lived that close, would come looking for her son at random, and possibly embarrassing times. The fact that we haven’t yet seen Jean’s parents suggest that they maybe live in another state.
The real question is, how long until that 3rd wish is accidentally granted?
I’m not sure what you mean. Rouyaa isn’t a genie any more, so she can’t grant wishes, accidental or not.
Although she might (at least) try to do so through normal physical machinations…
See her comment in panel 2 of #392: https://jeaniebottle.com/?comic=jeanie-bottle-392
It’s kinda sad really. Meets her long lost love, becomes his neighbor, his friend… and all he is to her just the old guy next door.
Hmmm…
Does Andy happen to know WHY she’s looking for that astronaut? I mean, they seem to be pretty good friends at this point.
I would think, HE thinks the ‘astronaut’ is just some crush that Ray has. She wants to be with an astronaut, and anyone else isn’t worth her time kind-a-deal. Even IF she told him her back story.
It’s possible that she DID tell him her whole story, about being a genie in search of her former master, etc., but, having no memory of ever meeting her before, Andy may simply have written off her wacky story as being some sort of goofball delusion. So he continues to humor her about looking for an astronaut who lives in Cocoa Beach.
Another possibility, would be Jeanie doing one of her famous time travel things she use to doing in the series. Since Rouyaa still has the old bottle or totem and I am assuming that it the same bottle that use to be Rouyaa bottle. She dust it off, because, it dirty and so wipe it off and up pops Jeanie, being the current resident of that bottle. You want something master.
Well, that’s something.
