With even Dactylopius affecting to be helpless in the face of the evil plan, the Problem-Solvers attempted to get word to the Homeworld, but found that the Governor had emptied out the communications room. They were then confronted by Mandragora and the Governor, assisted by [[Mizrax ag-Ustis|a Wellsian]]. The situation turned into a three-way standoff when Dactylopius also arrived, flanked by Digger and [[Retsha sog-Wampyr|a second Wellsian]], as Digger explained that he'd been on the rebellion's side all along (under Dactylopius's directions), smuggling out one Wellsian (and its [[Heat Ray]]) to match their enemies' new weapons. The Problem-Solvers were unable to stop the situation escalating until andragora double-crossed the Governor, ordering “his” Wellsian to kill him, but was in turn betrayed by the Wellsian as both aliens revealed that they had no true loyalty to any of the Cupids. They turned their weapons onto Mandragora, seemingly destroying him and causing an explosion which destroyed the two Wellsians as well as the base itself. | With even Dactylopius affecting to be helpless in the face of the evil plan, the Problem-Solvers attempted to get word to the Homeworld, but found that the Governor had emptied out the communications room.

In the aftermath, loyalists and rebels worked together to unlock the Governor's three Fog Ships to make their way back home. Pythe berated himself for not having worked out the truth sooner, and also expressed a belief that Mandragora had survived in some shape or form, even if his body had been destroyed.

===During the rabbit invasion=== | |||
When the [[Cupid Homeworld]] was overrun by illusory magic rabbits, Juliet tried to evacuate with everyone else in the [[Department of Problem-Solving's second Fog Ship|Department's new Fog Ship]], but [[Pythagoras-858]] headed her off and she stayed with the rest of the [[Department of Problem-Solving]], holing up in a sealed warehouse with [[Lord Thymon]] to figure out a solution. After three days, Juliet had helped deduce that the rabbits were probably being summoned through [[The Hat|a magic hat]] somewhere, but this wasn't especially helpful because the hat was inaccessible. It was [[Valerius-1497]] who ultimately concluded that they needed a literal ''Deus Ex Machina'' and suggested that they summon [[Aphrodite#In the Prime Universe|Aphrodite]]. After this plan worked, Juliet was the one to look through the empty headquarters of the [[Department of Communication]] to locate a [[Psychic Broadcasting Cone]] with which to inform all the other Cupids that the crisis was over.
