Kedamono sends this in: “I know what OCD is, but… not in the context of this comic strip. Is the guy’s wife playing at Eve for some reason, and how does it pertain to her supposed OCD? I dunno!”

She’s decided to start from the Garden of Eden. As “from scratch” as it gets for humans within that particular creation myth.
Pretty sure Dvandom has it. Can’t get more basic than Eden, especially if you can’t convert your house into a cave.
“If you wish to make an apple pie from scratch you must first invent the universe.”
Carl Sagan
I like that Sagan quote.
It’s a bit reminiscent of Isaac Newton’s famous quote, “If I have seen further than others, it is by standing on the shoulders of giants.”
We all build on what went before us.
So, if she has had all that done already, why is she standing in the garden?
I like: “People say nothing is impossible, but I do nothing every day.” attributed to A. A. Milne. It’s got nothing to do with the comic, but I like it.
I agree with Dvandom but that’s not really a behavior associated with OCD. An OCD remodel may have doorknobs all over the place to make it convenient to touch them sixteen times after turning the faucets on and off six times so the Bad Things don’t happen. Or a completely bare house to make it easy to clean top-to-bottom every couple of hours.
Wiley may be thinking of ADHD with the “one thing led to another.” If you have OCD, one thing leads to another in an extremely precise and pre-planned way, not spontaneously.
Then he helped her with an itch she couldn’t reach, and everything after that started from scratch.
