- Jafar turns Amara into his staff, after they have a small talk about finding the third genie (Cyrus).

- Jafar captures his father, kills Mirza.

- Jafar goes after Cyrus. Shortly afterwards (within weeks, or maybe months), Jafar is in Wonderland.

So, this Aladdin sidetrack will have to be after toppling his home sultanate and I believe Cryus has disappeared. So, maybe he decided he would have to do something else because he probrably didn't know where Cyrus went. So.....being the Chief sultan, Jasmine's father must have met with Jafar and Jafar decided to....act as second in command (trying to find a genie/ kingdom's secrets).
