It looks like Amara is back! She’s listed in the credits. I’m thinking she really is Cyrus’s mother, who is deathly ill. The price of him trying to save her must be becoming a genie!

That is just *strange* to me. I was totally on board until Cyrus told us that he had been a genie for centuries. Which means Amara is much older than she looks.
TeamGenieMomma?
"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"February 24, 2014 at 10:13 pm #2475643princessesParticipantShe definitely stayed young-looking from the time Jafar met her until he got old enough to become her lover, which is all a little creepy. I’m thinking she must be magically immortal somehow.
My real question with her being Cyrus’s mother is that they seemed to be destroying the genies to get their bottles. Would she have destroyed her own son? Did she have other plans for Cyrus, but now Jafar is going to kill him now?

Well. The synopsis says that his mother lay dying. So I think Cyrus somehow made a wish for his mother to live but became a genie in the process.

Maybe by she didn’t really want to destroy the bottles and Cyrus inside, but find a way to break the laws of magic to free him
"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"February 24, 2014 at 10:29 pm #247566Hook’s GirlParticipantSo maybe when Amara was turned into the snake staff is when Cyrus’s compass stopped pointing towards her.
Nothing is impossible on OUAT. Everything has a way of repeating itself. Keeper of the Keeper tread: https://oncepodcast.com/forums/topic/official-keeper-thread-3/#post-217924

I think so, yes.

Hmm, now that I think about it, it would make sense. But the compass didn’t work anymore. Hmm..maybe she faked her death to make him think she was dead.

I think it didn’t work anymore because she stopped being human. Cyrus went into a bottle, Amara spent her somehow immortal life trying to free him, but then Jafar turned her into the snake staff. Technically she’s not “alive” as a human anymore.
"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"February 25, 2014 at 10:54 am #247688obisgirlParticipantAhh.
It’s starting to make a lot of sense now.
February 25, 2014 at 11:21 am #247713RumplesGirlKeymasterAlright here we go: official headcanon.
Cyrus was not exactly a nice momma’s boy back in the day. He was a romantic hearthrob who cared more about himself than anything else. Until his mother, Amara, lay dying. Then he snapped into action. Somehow he got a wish from a genie and he wished his mother would live. All magic comes with a price. Amara lived (immortal) but Cyrus was doomed to a life in the bottle as the new Genie. He was cast far across the realms and forced to serve his masters. This also helped temper his “bad boy” attitude and make him the kind and sweet guy Alice falls for. Amara, meanwhile, uses her immortality to learn of a way to break the laws of magic and free her son from his prison. Enter Jafar. But what she fails to understand is how far Jafar will go to to get what he wants. Snakey snake snake time, and Cyrus’s compass stops working and he thinks his mother has finally died somehow.
