On the spot, she leaves Kim with a “Back in a few minutes!” and [[shift]]s away. | While trying to make bread, [[Jenny Everywhere#Kim's friend|Jenny]] notices that she and [[Kim#Jenny's roommate|Kim]] appear to have run out of sourdough.

* The month before, Jenny visited [[Universe A (Jenny Everywhere and the Eye of Argon)|a universe]] where “genetically engineered hyper-something” (either the yeast or the grain) allowed the creation of a special [[Mars|Martian]] bread which [[Kim]] agrees “smelled amazing”. She also brought home some currency from that world, appearing as “a handful of bills in shocking pastel colors”.
