I didn't see the twist coming, lol. But now I understand why Cyrus said wishing a genie free never ends well for either party. Perhaps the price of such a wish is different if it's said differently when the wisher actually makes the wish. I mean, King Leopold simply asked for the Genie of Agrabah to be freed, and it seemed like there was no consequence there until it was the Genie who ultimately killed the King. It makes it seem like the King led himself to his own demise, in the end, by freeing the Genie.

I do believe though Alice has her happiness now, she definitely won't be willing to allow Knave to live out an eternity as a genie if it means having to sacrifice his life for Cyrus. I get the sense throughout this whole journey Alice and Knave have become friends. In the beginning, yes, I felt like it was more about "I'll scratch your back if you scratch mine" and both were going along with it becauase of the deal Alice made to give Knave one of the wishes. I think it really sealed the deal proving Knave actually genuinely cares for Alice when he used the wish for her benefit instead of his own. They were both dying in that instant because of Alice's first wish ("I wish my own death if the Knave of Hearts dies") but he cared more about helping her.
