The flashback is because they always do a cold open for the premiere. We needed something that would be unrelated, and that was Aladdin and Jafar.
 * The flashback. Sure, it had a connection to the Savior theme that was kicked off in the episode, but was there any point to throwing Aladdin and Jafar in at this point? I would've rather had the flashback in another episode and left the premiere with that couple minutes of extra time to relieve the pressure caused by an abundance of present time plotlines.
