* OurGeniesAreDifferent: Genies can grant as many wishes as they want, but they have to actually want to grant a particular wish. They are also forbidden from using their powers without a wish and can't even do something as simple as steal an object on their own. The only way to free a genie from their wish-granting obligation is for them to faithfully carry out other people's wishes for 500 years straight. Unfortunately for Jinni, she ran across a monster, who sent her to Malivore on the year 499, basically resetting her countdown. Lizzie's final wish acts as a ResetButton, allowing Jinni to finish her 500 years and be free.

* BlessedWithSuck: Jinni can do pretty much anything at the snap of her fingers. But someone else has to make a wish first. She can't do anything for herself or even take the urn without having someone wish her to have it. Lizzie's final wish appears to free Jinni from that particular "suck".

She and Josie go to the regular school, with Lizzie being the weird outcast (no one is coddling her anymore) and Josie being the cheer captain and the most popular girl in school. Alaric is a history teacher at the school, who is perpetually drunk. Without the Salvatore School, Hope's father founded the (much more successful) Mikaelson School.
** Lizzie wishes that Hope was never born. Without a daughter, Klaus Mikaelson started a war on the humans, outing all supernaturals. As a result, supernaturals are being hunted to extinction all over the world. And Josie is dead.
** Lizzie wishes that Jinni never met the monster who trapped her in Malivore, thus freeing Jinni and preventing her from granting Lizzie's wishes. Except this means that Lizzie has never learned about the Merge and about being less egotistical, going back to her ItsAllAboutMe self.
