"Thou may ask anything of thy slave, Master," she informs him; and with her hands crossed over her chest and a blink of her eyes, she proceeds to provide a rescue helicopter for him. Realizing the problems her presence and powers will cause him at NASA, he sets her free, despite her desire to remain with him. Blinking herself back into smoke, and into her bottle, she places herself in Tony's survival kit without his knowledge. After returning home to 1020 Palm Drive, and discovering Jeannie, Tony, realizing that she is determined to remain, makes her promise to conceal her presence, curtail her powers, and grant him no special treasures. Though reluctant she agrees, but secretly vows to always ensure his safety. Accidentally stumbling upon Tony's secret, astronaut Roger Healey, his friend, becomes the only other person to know of Jeannie's existence. Caught in a web of mysterious, inexplicable situations that result from Jeannie's magic, he and Tony become the fascination of Dr. Alfred Bellows, a NASA psychiatrist who observes, records and ponders their activities, determined to uncover the cause.
