Witnessing this, Ginger came to her defence in the form of a giant spider. Coming to the scene late, Jenny briefly thought the spider was the attacker and threw a [[Shift|summoned]] bucket at her and kicked her, but Ginger regained human form and identified herself to the newcomer, whom she recognised as her niece. Before further explanations could take place, the evil, [[the Old Man of the Marshmallow]] reminded them of his presence. His words to Jenny confirmed, to Ginger's ire, that “her” Jenny had been killed, and she attacked the Old Man, adopting the form of a [[Black Nettle]] to fight him. As the fight drew on, Jenny fearedg that Ginger was about to be killed, and decided to use her [[shift]]ing powers to abruptly zap her to the other side of the forest, before trying to convince the Old Man that this was Ginger's own doing, the unveiling of one of many new powers she had acquired while he'd been imprisoned in the marshmallow. As he argued back and forth with her, he began to shift back to his weaker humanoid shape. At the opportune time, Jenny summoned Ginger back; the witch had slipped into the form of a fearsome giant scorpion. At Jenny's suggestion, she simply let herself from overhead where Jenny had summoned her, crushing the Old Man, whose last words were simply: “Oh. …Oh, no”. | Witnessing this, Ginger came to her defence in the form of a giant spider.

When Ginger turned back to human form and stepped aside, it was found that nothing remained of the Old Man but a crushed marshmallow and a magical key he'd been carrying in his pocket. Ginger picked it up, stating that she'd been looking for it for a long time, and plunged it in Jenny's forehead, claiming it would “open the gates of [her] mind”. The key, actually an ancient artefact known as the [[Key of Enecloog]], transported the two of them to a realm representing Jenny's mind, which shaped itself according to Jenny's every thought. After helping Jenny focus through the overwhelming experience, Ginger explained that she had brought them here to find Ginger's niece.

After helping Jenny focus through the overwhelming experience, Ginger explained that she had brought them here to find Ginger's niece: she wanted Jenny to tap into the memories she retained from Ginger's Jenny and use the power of the Key of Enecloog to reconstitute her as her own entity within the mindscape, then bring her back to the real world. Jenny protested that this wasn't how it worked, but Ginger wouldn't listen to reason, and the two ended up having an imagination-fight, changing the landscape around them based on their imagination, until Jenny got the upper hand and drenched Ginger in cold water, bringing her to her senses. | ||
As they both regained their cool, the “world-of-Jenny” faded around them and they found themselves back in the clearing, where night had already fallen. Jenny surprised the weeping Ginger by telling her that she thought rescuing her niece might in fact be possible, and that she was willing to help, even if the Enecloog plan wasn't the way to do it.
