She is messing around in a Western set when her friend [[Walt (When Casting Calls)|Walt]] interrupts her play to take her to see the boss of the company, who explains that he has learned that Jenny is an adventurer and hires her to find [[Barbara Mattel]], the studio's top star, who appears to have gone missing.

However, taken to see Alexander, they discover that Barbara actually moved in with him willingly, eloping from the studio; they believe that the other is the only one who understands them, Alexander because he feels a genius supervillain has no place in the modern world, Barbara because she is unable to relate to people less “perfect” than she is. Though not particularly drawn to either of the pair, Jenny realises the best way to help them is to [[shift]] them to universes where they'll fit in, something to which they both enthusiastically agree. Jenny returns to the movie studio to find that the boss has decided that he didn't want a star like Barbara anymore anyway, and instead wants Jenny to become the studio's new shining star. Thoroughly uninterested, a panicking Jenny shifts away right from his office with hurried goodbyes. | However, taken to see Alexander, they discover that Barbara actually moved in with him willingly, eloping from the studio; they believe that the other is the only one who understands them, Alexander because he feels a genius supervillain has no place in the modern world, Barbara because she is unable to relate to people less “perfect” than she is.
