 ==== Argument with Judy ====
 Some time later, Eric got into an argument at school with [[Judy (Misunderstandings)|Judy]], a girl with whom he'd become somewhat acquainted, because she wanted to put together a robotics project. Eric felt mildly jealous that she was getting into his own area of expertise, and also tried to dissuade her by telling her that as he was a mad scientist while she was just “an ordinary smart person”, he had a natural advantage and it would be unfair of him to let her try and fail to beat him — something which, obviously, she did not take very well. Going home, Eric tried to talk about it with [[Eric's mother|his Mom]], who mistakenly assumed, upon hearing that Judy was a girl, that Eric had some kind of romantic interest in her. Their talking at cross purposes did nothing for Eric's mood and he dropped in on Jenny and Kim, only for them to make the same mistake, delivering to him a long and rambling collection of dating advice. After the women realised their mistakes, however, Kim agreed to help Eric with his math homework. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Misunderstandings (short story)|Misunderstandings]]'')
+==== Disappearance of Jenny ====
+One day, having noticed that [[Jenny Everywhere#Kim's friend|Jenny Everywhere]] had mysteriously disappeared, and worried that [[Kim]] wasn't answering when he tried to knock at her and Jenny's door, a worried Eric broke into Kim and Jenny's apartment with the help of the [[Robot Toaster]]. Finding an unmoving, unresponsive Kim on the bed, he panicked and went to [[David Lowe|David]] for help. Being aware of Kim's nature, David was not worried about Kim's apparent catatonia himself, but he agreed that Jenny's disappearance was concerning enough to warrant waking her up in the daytime. Recalling what she'd told him about the bottle of Jenny's blood, David located the hideaway and dribbled some of the precious liquid into Kim's mouth. She woke up with a start, lashing out like a wounded animal at David, with her claws out, until her higher brain functions came back online and she calmed down.
+She was worried when David told her what blood he'd made her drink, as she couldn't actually feel Jenny's presence as she should have — not “her” Jenny, and not any of the other infinite Jennies in the Multiverse either. Before long, however, she felt their presences all returning, and her roommate reappeared with a “Pop” in the middle of the room. Jenny explained that she was never in any danger: ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Absquatulation of Jenny Everywhere (short story)|The Absquatulation of Jenny Everywhere]]'') her and all her other selves' temporary disappearance was something that occasionally happened to Jenny, serving to resynchronise the mental connection between them all.
