Mom makes sure that Jim-Jam's lizards are rerouted to a zoo building closed to the public. Jim-Jam becomes frustrated in his attempts to manage his keychains' salinity and humidity since Mom is censoring all of his mail. He considers hiring a small forge located in a neighboring town to make his next prototype. He also considers divesting from the tourist ships and from the ecological society since the Komodos no longer need him to feed them. In a different location, Barbra Quinn, George's former lover and mother of George's only child, muses over her contributions to the world of chemistry, especially to Big Pharm. George abandoned Barbra after a lab accident caused him to leave academia and become a hobo. Channie Greenberg, The Ill-Advised Adventures of Jim-Jam O’Neily
