Plot
Jenny Everywhere, in surprise, physically shifts into Bricksburg, the home of Emmet Joseph Brickowski. She quickly finds her native counterpart, only to discover that this Jenny's mind is trapped in her body, an inanimate minifigure made from ABS plastic... and, therefore, she cannot even scream.
Meanwhile, in 31 Spooner Street, in another universe, Peter Griffin comments on the "existential horrors beyond [his] comprehension", in blasé horror, whilst evidentially watching Jenny's discovery on television.
