A romantic interlude dominates the story of this, the third installment of the Snail Factory. When Barbara awakens Omar, the Shell Genie, a whirlwind series of events unfolds as forbidden love overcomes the staunch social morays of yesteryear. Episode three is not only an analysis of the complications of Djinn-Westen relations nor merely a treatise on the nature of male dominance in the mid 20th century, but a powerful and cautionary epic of the ways in which love binds us, only to set us free- But at what cost?
