It doesn't really advance Jerome theory, except, perhaps, to reinforce the oddness of the opening. It's the Jerome Gambit - go figure.

Jerome Gambit Classic #1, Chess.com, 2024
1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 Bc5 4.Bxf7+
4...Kxf7 5.Ng5+
Dropping a piece. This is the kind of thing that you could expect to see in a 1-minute bullet game full of excitement - but the current game was played at a time control of 1 move per day.
Perhaps it is a reflection of my opponent's busy-ness in the outside world. After all, one of my own games in the tournament had an early mouse-slip because I was hurrying to get all of my games caught up: 1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 Bc5 4.Bxf7+ Ke7?
As I wrote in "Jerome Gambit: Uncomfortable"
Of course, there is also 5.Ng5+, the "Face Palm Variation" (see the post "Jerome Gambit: The SMH Variation", among others) 1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 Bc5 4.Bxf7+ Kxf7 5.Ng5+.
For the record, The Database has 729 games with 5.Ng5+. White scores 26%. lichess.com is not much more encouraging, with 32,390 games with 5.Ng5+ where White scores 31%.
5...Qxg5 6.d4
Interestingly enough, instead, after 6.O-O Qg6, Black won on time in mazakoten - perrypawnpusher, Jerome Gambit Classic #1, 2024. That might also be a case of not enough time in the real world, as in that round of the tournament mazakoten won 12 games - and lost 10 on time.
6...Qxg2 7.Rf1 Qxe4+ 8.Be3 exd4
Here White lost on time.
In this round in the tournament, chess01 2 lost 15 games on time - but won all of his remaining 7 games.
Go figure.
