It's [[Valentine's Day]], and the [[Multidimensional Finders Service]] is inundated with calls from people asking where to “find love”, a request with [[Jenny Over-There (925th Universe)|Jenny Over-There]] flatly refuses to dignify with an answer, hanging up every time. When [[Dynamite Thor (Fox universe)|Peter “Dynamite” Thor]] brings her her coffee, however, she is surprised to find that he's all dressed up; he explains that he's going on a date with his girlfriend [[Glenda Sif]], but asks for advice on a touchy point: he has yet to tell her about his secret identity as Dynamite Thor — though Jenny is skeptical that Glenda hasn't figured it out herself (what with Thor's uncommonly incompetent approach to secrecy), she stays silent, not wanting to hurt her friend's feelings. Their conversation is interrupted by yet another caller asking for help finding love, causing Jenny to barge into [[the Man in Grey (925th Universe)|the Man in Grey]]'s office, demanding that he ban such calls from coming through. | It's [[Valentine's Day]], and the [[Multidimensional Finders Service (925th Universe)|Multidimensional Finders Service]] is inundated with calls from people asking where to “find love”, a request with [[Jenny Over-There (925th Universe)|Jenny Over-There]] flatly refuses to dignify with an answer, hanging up every time.

The Man, however, is uncharacteristically distracted, appearing to be lost in thought — and, after he refuses to explain why, Jenny leaves him to those thoughts, which turn out to concern [[Professor Wogglebug (925th Universe)|Professor Wogglebug]] and the Man in Grey's improbable development of romantic feelings for the educated insect following their chance meeting at the [[Interdimensional Pride Parade]] fiasco. He makes his mind to phone the bug for the first time since Pride (though they've exchanged emails in the intervening time), and the two agree to meet up for a restaurant date, though mutually insisting that it's purely platonic. | The Man, however, is uncharacteristically distracted, appearing to be lost in thought — and, after he refuses to explain why, Jenny leaves him to those thoughts, which turn out to concern [[Professor Wogglebug (925th Universe)|Professor Wogglebug]] and the Man in Grey's improbable development of romantic feelings for the educated insect following their chance meeting at the [[Interdimensional Pride Parade]] fiasco.
