[[Jenny Everywhere#Kim's friend|Jenny]] heads down the stairs, getting another glimpse of another universe (where [[Jenny Everywhere#Opposing Robo-Stalin with Octobriana|another Jenny]] is engaged in an adventure with [[Octobriana#Fighting Robo-Stalin|Octobriana]]) when she looks out the window, and finds [[Professor Awesome#Kim and Jenny's neighbour|Eric]] sitting on the stairs and scribbling schematics in his notebook. Looking over his shoulder, she recognises the design as a new kind of [[de-pants-icator]] and reminds him of how much trouble he got in with the last version. A sulky Eric protests that he has no intention of using the new device, but merely wants to prove to himself that he could improve the design. She briefly gets a glimpse of yet another universe, where an [[Professor Awesome#Wreaking havoc|older version of Professor Awesome]] has become a genuine, murderous supervillain whom her [[Jenny Everywhere#Fighting Professor Awesome|local self]] is fighting in earnest. Dismissing the vision, she simply convinces Eric that he's already proven his intellectual worth by drawing the plans, and there's no need to actually build the device in real life. They chat for a while, with Jenny cautioning the boy against foolhardy plans, before Jenny heads off. Feeling her grasp on this reality becoming increasingly unsteady, she decides to go take a nap.

==== Epilogue ====
[[Jenny Everywhere#Kim's friend|Jenny]] tries to sleep on the couch with some soft [[Pyotr Tchaikovsky|Tchaikovsky]] music in the background, but is woken up when [[David Lowe|David]] drops in and starts talking with [[Kim#Jenny's roommate|Kim]]. Some of what they talk about rouses further memories from Jenny, who gets up and excitedly gives them more details on some of her remembered lifetimes. By the time she remembers a bizarre disco version of ''{{w|Jesus Christ Superstar|Jesus Christ Superstar}}'' plucked from the memories of [[Jenny Everywhere#1970s Jenny|a 1970s Jenny]], and gives them a rousing ''a cappella'' rendition of the main song, her chuckling friends conclude that she seems back to her normal peppy self.

She was forced to leave her daughter with “[[Jacob (Morning After)|Jacob]] and the other Plain people”, and never came back from whatever dangerous journey she undertook.
