Episode Title:
Beast or Famine.
Episode Description:
Aladdin, Genie and Abu are charting a trade route through the desert, when they come upon the remains of the giant shark and Merc's ship. They soon discover that mole-like people were the cause, and they soon capture Genie, despite valiant effort on his part. Meanwhile, back at their lair, a shaman reveals himself to Genie and tells him his plans: to completely drain Genie of his magical energy to make himself more powerful. Back at the ship, Aladdin and Abu find that Merc is still alive, and convince him to help them repair his ship using the shark remains (Merc seeks out the mole creatures since they took away his thrill in life—the hunt). They come to the lair to find a badly exhausted Genie, and while Merc fights the creatures, Al faces off against the shaman. Genie convinces the creatures that the shaman isn't their leader, because of his hurting them, and they turn on him—the shaman is then killed by his ill-gotten magic. After some convincing, Merc chooses to be the mole creatures' leader, as they too are hunters, and Al, Genie and Abu head for home. Absent: Iago and Jasmine.
