    Ignoring all caution, Jake decided to experiment with the shrink ray. However, he accidentally ended up shrinking himself instead of the test object.

    Lily knew she had to keep Jake safe until they could figure out how to reverse the shrinking process. So, she decided to keep him in a secure place - her uterus.
