After three days, having concluded that only a ''Deus Ex Machina'' could save the Homeworld, [[Valerius-1497]] told the others that they should summon [[Aphrodite#In the Prime Universe|Aphrodite]] herself to help. The plan worked, but before she used her powers to make the rabbits and hat vanish, the goddess took out her anger at being summoned without permission on Valerius, turning him into a (mechanical) parakeet. The Problem-Solvers elected not to tempt fate by asking Aphrodite to reverse the transformation, content to add returning Valerius to his natural form to their list of problems to be solved. Juliet located a [[Psychic Broadcasting Cone]] in the headquarters of the [[Department of Communication]] and used it to summon the rest of the Cupids back to the Homeworld.

On [[Halloween]], [[Frankenstein-818]]'s [[Spirit Realm Gateway]], which he used every year to widen a [[spirit path]] into a portal into the [[Prime Universe]]'s [[Spirit Realm]], malfunctioned. His clueless attempt to repair it instead caused it to collapse into a [[Rift]]. [[The Great Ghost]] took his chance and led [[the Great Ghost's legion|his legion]] out of the Realm through that portal, forcing the Cupids to evacuate using the [[Emergency Transport Button]]. Instead of staying in the Homeworld all day only to be inevitably pulled back to the Spirit Realm, however, the spirits stole a flotilla of [[Fog Ship]]s and then moved on to other parts of [[the Multiverse]]. Deducing this, the Cupids returned to the Homeworld, where Frankenstein built a [[One-Way Forced Spirit Realm Gateway]] which, when activated, would send everything around it to the Spirit Realm. | |||
However, before he could use it, Frankenstein was abducted by the spirits, who had briefly returned to the Homeworld for the occasion, and forced to build a [[Reverse Spirit Realm Gateway]] to replace the Rift, which the [[Department of Rifts]] had sealed. After a short mishap with the One-Way Gateway where [[Foreman-964]], [[Pythagoras-858]], [[Technophile-963]], [[Igor-1612]] and [[Philatel-426]] were briefly transported to the Spirit Realm before being summoned back by [[Juliet-178]] using the reverse switch of the One-Way Gateway, the Cupids managed to send most of the ghosts back to the Spirit Realm. When they tried to return through the Reverse Gateway, they were transformed into clockwork toys of which [[Madame Tarsa]] took possession. The Great Ghost, meanwhile, was separated from [[Queen of the Black Market|his host body]] and sent to parts unknown.
