Wasn’t Rip held captive on Scorpion Island? Amazing he can’t remember that( meaning this is a superdream-the background is pretty cloudy in the last panel)
It would be appropriately Hitchcockian if Jenkins has already been arrested in the real world and is dreaming this arc as he is being re brainwashed to fall in love with another Breezy clone who chases him around the lab.
Rip, bad dog!
