It's Aladdin.

The press release says that Jasmine finds a genie-less lamp and Aladdin finds a way to be her hero. He's going to be her hero by trapping himself in lamp somehow.

Plus, the logline for Wish You Were Here says that the Evil Queen steals Aladdin's lamp. The lamp, as far as we're aware, is in the possession of Jasmine - however, if Aladdin puts himself in the lamp in this episode, the lamp will belong to him because it's his home.

And it's also why there's been no sign of Jafar or the Black Fairy on set (or, for Jafar in this episode, in the press release). We have heard of Aladdin being in the upcoming episodes.

Honestly, I'm going to be a bit disappointed if I'm right, but it certainly lines up. Oh, that's a really clever guess. It is also a twist on the tale (even though the dialog confirmed that this Aladdin did have a genie at one point, we are basically never going to see that because of Robin Williams), in that Aladdin is the genie, like Red is the wolf. I really like it, and think you are onto something. Good job.
