Jedao putters, but leaves the bathroom door open when he goes too, half in case Jim falls asleep in the water, and half because Jedao is afraid he'll vanish again if Jedao can't hear or see him. He torches the clothes with his phaser, only burns his fingers a little folding the half-melted plastic laundry basket into itself. They can ditch the whole lump in the chute after it's cooled again.

He slips back in, still fully in uniform, heedless of both the water and the nudity, and starts to work on Jim's hair.
