“Later, the commander and the scout manage to escape from the room. The mayor is not happy with the situation, but before he can reach a verdict, Dandelion suddenly drops into the room from a magical portal which suddenly appears on the wall. The explorer shouts with a fully restored voice that he wishes everyone present to believe that the commander is innocent. He was instructed to do this by Yennefer, who sent him through this portal, and wanted to clear commander aggressive behavior.
Dandelion has hardly had time to explain himself, when a roaring commotion is heard outside, loud enough to be heard over the current thunderstorm. Rushing to the window, the group sees that Yennefer has lured the genie to the castle, and is trying to capture it to pass the anchora to any other person. The genie is much stronger then expected though, and despite Yennefer's spells binding it to the tavern, the genie is trashing Skyhold.
Cullen ushers everyone else to safety, and asks Solas to stabilize the trace of the portal Dandelion just fell through. Cullen jumps through, intent on saving the sorceress. Yennefer does not want to be saved though, she is not done trapping her genie and resists Cullen's help, even opening a portal to get rid of him. While he falls into the portal however, the commander grabs Yennefer, and the sorceress is dragged into the portal with him. When they exit the portal, Yennefer immediately shakes off Cullen and goes back through the portal, Cullen following her close behind.
Outside, the people gathered are watching in terror as the genie continues to rampage through Skyhold. After a scuffle between Yennefer and Cullen, with waning powers, the sorceress traps Cullen. The commander tries to talk some sense into her head, but she will not listen to him.
Then, Cullen realises something. The genie was fulfilling HIS wishes, since he was the one holding the seal last. The explorer asked two wishes before the djinn attack him, and thus the genie is still awaiting Cullen's third wish. Because the genie still has to fullfill his master's wish, he is not yet freed, and is thus not able to be captured by Yennefer. While rethinking his possible last wish, he also realizes what Yennefer looked like before she became a sorceress; she was a hunchback. Then, he decided upon his last wish.
The next moment, the genie tears free, the inn collapses and silence descends upon the village. Under the rubble of the inn, Yennefer finds herself in Geralt's arms, close and intimate. Just moments later, Yennefer and Geralt begin to make love in the remains of what was the beginning of a stormy relationship.
