Characters: David Walkerton, Dorothy Keener, Fake Rachel, Head Alien, Jason Chesterfield, Joe Rosenthal, Joyce Brown
Location: The Wedding Church
Fake Rachel dispassionately doing super sweet jumpkicks. Joe is very distraught that he’s not turned on by this. He’s not even MENTIONING how distraught he is by not being turned on by this. That’s how you know he’s broken.

well ok, the fact of “Fake Rachel” suggests a real one did in fact exist, although maybe Joe wouldn’t know for certain at this point if he ever knew the real one
also he’s not turned on bc who’d be turned on by a deadpan fight like that
Head Alien saying “She has been Rachel for as long as you have known her” would be a good gut punch, but I think the knowledge that HA didn’t know about Other Other Rachel being hjs agent is enough to deduce that it’s a lie
So, like, what is Fake Rachel’s motivation? She was working for the other Head Alien, since this one here didn’t even know what her deal was.
I’m not sure she has a motivation per se. She’s an Alien, following the orders of whichever Head Alien happens to be present at any given point in the plot.
Where, exactly, Head Alien II found an Alien who both survived the war and was loyal enough to Heady I to serve an alternate version of him is another story. We know that at least some of the surviving Aliens have more or less blended into Human society, as seen in Sal’s restaurant job.
HAII promised access to interdimensional cable for anyone who’d work for him. Who could resist the allure of universe upon universe of soap operas?
Unfortunately, as they should have guessed from him jumping universes all the time to keep killing abductees for kicks, most interdimensional cable sucks.
(I kid but also, as good an explanation as any.)
Right now Joe’s inner monologue is just the sound the phone makes when you leave it off-hook, isn’t it.

Joe.exe has stopped working.
Joe’s not turned on because he saw Fake Rachel’s granny panties when she did that kick.
