She is rushed off her feet planning a party for father Gong Gong (James Hong) and preparing for an audit at the tax office. On the way to the meeting with the auditor, Deirdre (Jamie Lee Curtis), Evelyn is approached by Waymond from another dimension, known as Alpha Waymond. 

He reveals the Alpha Dimension possesses technology enabling them access to all other dimensions, and all other possible versions of oneself.
