Her mother Karen left them to pursue her career as a singer, but died from a car accident at an early age.

Gaff reluctantly agrees and the pair interfere with Jenny's dream to include a mechanical, giant-sized Viggo.

She's nearly caught by the Inspector, but manages to escape with the help of Milo, a former Dreambuilder who was demoted to janitor after inadvertently destroying a dream stage by altering the script.

Jenny panics upon learning she's wearing Minna's sweater and is wrought with anxiety at her bizarre changes in behavior, causing Helene to decide to move them back to the city.

Realizing Minna is somehow tampering with her dreams, Jenny threatens retaliation and gets Helene to reconsider moving.

Furious, Minna constructs a nightmare for Jenny, taking advantage of her arachnophobia by terrorizing her with spiders, including a mechanical, giant-sized one.

In her dream, Minna meets her mother, who attempts to get her to stay in bed, but sees through the charade and discovers her to be an actor.

With help from Gaff, Minna evades the Inspector and enters the Dream Trash, recovering Jenny.
