And if there were many genies, there would be no point for Jafar to go above and beyond to retrive Cyrus, given it is undoubtedly a huge waste of time, energy and magic – and, however cocky he might be, I think he's aware there is a possibility of falure due to Alice and Cyrus' adamant determination to be together.

The opening flashback scene in Trust Me heavily implied, that Cyrus and Jafar have personal history. Peter Gadiot even said so, when he hinted that Jafar would be on the show. Jafar could not care less about Alice. He needs a genie, but specifically wants Cyrus.

It is very possible, that Cyrus is in fact the genie, from the Aladdin tale. Jafar was the one, not Amara, who discovered that there was a genie in town. Why is that.... could it have something to do with his father, being the Sultan of Agrabah? The bts pictures, from Bad Blood, show that the sultan has a male heir. For all we know, Aladdin could be a prince, and Jafar's younger half-brother.

This is the universe where.... Peter Pan is pure evil, and a grown man suffering from an extreme case of Peter Pan Syndrome. The miller's daughter was a heartless, social climber who had a love affair with Rumplestilskin. Belle's true love, is not a prince who was transformed into a monster, but is Rumplestilskin. Robin Hood is the Evil Queen's soulmate. The list goes on.... bottomline, is OUaT twists the tale.
