The story so far
Everything you need before watchingJasmine and Aladdin know they have to stop Jafar, but the sultan trusts him completely. In the throne room Jafar strikes first: he claims he overheard Prince Ali plotting to return with an army, and that the prince has already fled in the night. Jasmine walks Ali in anyway. If he fled, why is he still here? Cornered, Jafar hypnotizes the sultan with his cobra staff until the spell breaks. Watch a public lie collapse the moment the missing man walks in.
