  • Summary

  • Chelsea learns that she's been confusing I Dream of Jeannie with Bewitched for her entire life while Holly chooses which jinn origin story is the best (hint: witches always win). Hear all about jinn and their evolution from Muslim spirits with the same moral obligations as humans into the Will Smith genie that horrifies us today!
