She shows her a badly-typed flyer advertising a ritual to “SUMMUN STAAN”, explaining that she wants to make sure that the cultists don't, against all odds, succeed in summoning something dangerous. After Kim uses her mysterious abilities to help Jenny enter the empty storefront where they've set up shop, however, it becomes clear they misread the typo: while they do successfully summon the object of their worship, it's not Satan but the benign Stan.
