It was only a matter of time before more characters from the Land of Untold Stories came out of the woodwork and during Sunday night's episode fans were introduced to a fairytale favorite. Jasmine appeared on Once Upon a Time as a teacher at Snow's school. And while the two of them became immediate friends, it soon became clear that she wasn't just in Storybrooke to educate the town's youth. As her meeting with the Oracle proved, Jasmine is looking for Aladdin, who has apparently been missing for quite some time. So where is Aladdin on Once Upon a Time ? According to the Oracle, he's definitely in Storybrooke somewhere, though, her attempts to find him thus far have failed.
Being a Seer, you would think it would be pretty easy to track someone down, which probably means that either a.) he's using magic to keep himself hidden or b.) someone else is using magic to keep him hidden. (Or, you know, this Oracle is just really bad at her job, but let's give her the benefit of the doubt for now.) Earlier this season, we saw the weak person Aladdin had become due to the apparent side effects that come with being a Savior — something that Emma has to look forward to. But we have no idea what he's been up to since then.
As crazy as it sounds, he could've been hiding out in Storybrooke this whole time without anyone ever realizing it. Sure, it's possible he too could've come from the Land of Untold Stories, but if that's the case, wouldn't Jasmine have found him by now? Either way, I'm already super excited about seeing these two reunite. Something tells me this storyline is going to open up a whole new world to the Once Upon a Time fanbase. Sorry, I couldn't help myself.
