Okay, this part makes sense...

As does this...

This is where you lost us. What existing call is being bridged to? I count
only two calls:
from GV back to the user (via Gizmo or whatever contact number the user has)
from GV to PSTN (to reach the called party)

I'm assuming that the ultimate result of the above is that the user will be
talking to the destination:
GV user <--> Called party

Where is the outgoing call to GV? Is there a third call that we're not aware
of? If so, what is its purpose?

I'm sure it can be done, we just need some clarification.
