As the answers solve the problem but do not answer the question "How to connect to an existing session".

I managed to do this with the following code since it is not officially supported.

# monkey-patch 2 methods
module Selenium
  module WebDriver
    class Driver
      # Be able to set the driver
      def set_bridge_to(b)
        @bridge = b
      end

      # bridge is a private method, simply create a public version
      def public_bridge
        @bridge
      end
    end
  end
end


caps = Selenium::WebDriver::Remote::Capabilities.send("chrome")

driver = Selenium::WebDriver.for(
  :remote,
  url: "http://chrome:4444/wd/hub",
  desired_capabilities: caps
)
used_bridge = driver.bridge
driver.get('https://www.google.com')

# opens a new unused chrome window
driver2 = Selenium::WebDriver.for(
  :remote,
  url: "http://chrome:4444/wd/hub",
  desired_capabilities: caps
)

driver2.close() # close unused chrome window
driver2.set_bridge_to(used_bridge)

driver2.title # => "Google"

Sadly this did not test work between 2 rescue jobs, will update this in the future when I made it work for my own use case.
