Meanwhile, Susanne the genie

Left to her own devices, Susanne abandoned her usual calm facade and takes the opportunity to freak the fuck out.

Alternating between screaming into a pillow, employing her newly acquired repertoire of English swearwords to roundly cursing whoever sent her that damn lamp, and sobbing quietly in a corner. After abut forty minutes, she began to calm down, feeling better for having got it out of her system.

Ever the pragmatist, she elects not to give in to despair and instead deal with the practical reality of her situation. After helping herself to an oversized hoodie from Curtis' case, she makes herself a cup of strong black tea and attempts to process the vast sea of genie knowledge that's now crowded into her head.

It's too much to take in all at once but a few things quickly become clear to her. Firstly, the only sure way to return to her old life is for the lamp holder to wish it.

And secondly, she has access to incredibly power. Power that would only grow the more she uses it.

True, she did need someone make a wish before she could do anything, but she'd already show how wishes could be creatively reinterpreted for her own ends.

Perhaps there was an opportunity here if she had the wit to take it...
