 =====Part IX=====
 When they come to pick [[Julie Jacobs#In the Collapsed Cosmos|Julie]] up, her new date reveals themself as [[Death#In the Collapsed Cosmos|Death]], much to [[Jenny Everywhere#In the Collapsed Cosmos|Jenny]]'s unease. The two lovers depart, leaving Jenny to wryly ponder how long this affair is going to last.
+=====Part X=====
+Alone in the apartment, [[Jenny Everywhere#In the Collapsed Cosmos|Jenny]] realises that it has turned back into the very apartment she started from. She reflects sullenly on the current status of the [[Collapsed Cosmos]]. Picking up [[Michael Moorcock|Moorcock]]'s ''[[Cornelius Quartet]]'' from her shelf, she flips through it randomly and finds a passage that leads her to a fanciful reflection on how the very idea of the Multiverse has been co-opted for profit by small-minded 21st-century companies, losing its wonder.

 * [[Amelia Midnight]] is “famous all over the [[hypercontinuum]]”.
 * [[The Redoubt|The City of Redoubt]] is assembled it from “bits of timelines that had been destroyed or erased, chewed up and spit out by the [[hypercontinuum]]”, such as the [[Hanging Gardens of Babylon|Hanging Gardens]] of [[Babylon]], the [[Sankore Madrassah]] of [[Timbuktu]], the [[Council House of Prophetstown]], the [[Triple Towers]] of [[Neo New York]], and a fragment of [[Westbrook]], [[Wisconsin]].
+* Books on Jenny's shelf include “the ''[[Plasmanomicon]], the [[Jack Kirby]] ''[[Eternals]]'' omnibus, the special edition of [[the Bible]] with all the sex scenes left in”, a “collection of unfinished stories about her from across the continua”, and [[Michael Moorcock]]'s ''[[Cornelius Quartet]]''.
 ===Continuity===
 * [[Jenny Everywhere#In the Collapsed Cosmos|Jenny]] has memories of leaving a literature exam to partake in an adventure involving [[Cardinal Dracula|Dracula]] and [[the Three Musketeers]], something which occurred in [[PROSE]]: ''[[Preludes and Distractions (short story)|Preludes and Distractions]]'', as well as of engaging in a summoning ritual, a potential allusion to [[PROSE]]: ''[[Jenny Everywhere and the Lord of Hell (short story)|Jenny Everywhere and the Lord of Hell]]''.

 * [[Jenny Everywhere#In the Collapsed Cosmos|Jenny]] states that she got her [[Jenny Everywhere's scarf|scarf]] and [[Jenny Everywhere's goggles|goggles]] from her mother. This idea was first floated by [[COMIC]]: ''[[The Late Shift (comic story)|The Late Shift]]'', where the suggestion was that this mother was the actual [[Amelia Earhart]]; here, she is instead the interdimensional adventurer [[Amelia Midnight]], though the “Amelia” first name is an obvious allusion.
 * A fragment of [[Westbrook]], [[Wisconsin]] is part of the patchwork of never-was timelines that make up [[the Redoubt]]. It is noted that this city is well-known to Jenny, as she lives there with adopted white parents in a number of continua, alongside her sister [[Julie Jacobs|Julie]]. Indeed,  [[Universe C (The Jenny Everywhere Chronicles)|one universe]]'s [[Jenny Everywhere#Jenny Jacobs|Jenny]] was previously shown to be a native of, and the superhero protector of, Westbrook, in [[COMIC]]: ''[[The Jenny Everywhere Chronicles (comic story)|The Jenny Everywhere Chronicles]]'', with Julie appearing in a supporting role.
+* One of the books in Jenny's apartment is the ''[[Plasmanomicon]]'', gifted to her by [[David (My Bloody Valentine)|David]] in [[COMIC]]: ''[[My Bloody Valentine (comic story)|My Bloody Valentine]]''.
