Who Needs a Green-Eyed Genie

Who Needs a Green-Eyed Genie

S2 E9: Jeannie's jealousy takes over when Tony insists on keeping a date with a friend. She blinks and Tony finds himself behind bars in his living room. Feeling she has been successful in keeping Tony from his date, she releases him the following morning. Then a man phones and berates Tony for breaking their appointment. Jeannie is conscience stricken and vows never to doubt Tony again. Tony tells Roger he didn't have a date, that his real date is for that night and now he is free to keep it. After Tony meets his date, Joan Sheldon, in a hotel, Roger let's slip that Jeannie has been tricked. Jeannie blinks and Joan turns into a chimp. When Tony begins packing to leave home, Jeannie promises never to interfere again, if he stays. Tony returns to Joan's hotel. Then Roger shows Jeannie a news report that "Two Gun" Richard Sheldon has broken out of jail to kill his wife. Although Roger tells her it's a matter of life and death, Jeannie, true to her promise, refuses to interfere. "Two Gun" and his henchman, Otto, appear at Joan's hotel. When "Two Gun" threatens him, Tony is sure it is Jeannie in disguise. He realizes his mistake when Jeannie herself comes into view behind Richard. She blinks when Richard raises his gun and police sirens are heard. A few days later, while playing checkers with Jeannie, Tony remarks that the phone hasn't rung in a long time. Jeannie smiles, knowing the wires are disconnected.
