In the final episode of the Aladdin Series, we pick up where we left off in episode 5b, with Disney’s Aladdin trying to repair the damage of his first attempt to court Princess Jasmine, and Aladdin from the “One Thousand and One Nights” sabotaging Princess Badr Al-Badur’s marriage to the son of the Sultan’s grand vizier. There is plenty of excitement left in this near two-hour series finale.

I have done more research than you have, Paul, concerning the whole roc’s egg thing and I found this article:
https://writinginmargins.weebly.com/home/aladdin-and-the-rocs-egg
Anyway, what it suggests is that the whole issue of a giant bird being the djinn’s master is unique to the story alone and that it represents that the genie bows to a higher authority than Aladdin, who is not his “actual” master. However, it is possible that M. Galland added that bit in without thinking things through all the way.
