In the final issue, the duo try to sneak into a anniversary party of Alberich [[spoiler: taking over the world]] who honors the celebration by having Fey creatures dress up as the duo when they first met him. So the duo try to go incognito in the regular clothes from the start of the story... and are instantly found out by Alberich within the crowd.
--> '''Elieen''': ''(Watching this via binoculars from a roof)'' Whoops.
--> '''Stef''': ''(Ditto)'' Bad plan?
--> '''Elieen''': Yep [[note]]It was ''their'' plan, btw[[/note]]

--> '''Stef''': None of you had normal lives growing up, huh?

--> '''Skips''': Your magical youth didn't just come at the cost of your children. It made you a couple of morons again.

--> '''Rigby''': ''(When Mordecai, Skips and him arrive in the Spirit World and are surrounded by monsters)'': I am in no mood!
--> '''Mordecai''': Believe! Tell em 'bout our mood!
--> '''Rigby''': I am an '''angry''' daddy on the loose. My '''mood''' is '''fire and purpose!'''
--> '''Mordecai''': ''(Impressed)'' Most poetic.

* ResetButton: [[spoiler: In the final issue, Alberich resets the timeline and the world back to normal, claiming it was all part of his "game" of having Mordecai and Rigby relive their youth as promised. The duo are less then happy for what he put them through.]]

He claim it was his way of granting Mordecai and Rigby's wish to have adventures of their youth again, allowing them to live another 25 years of it... fighting Alberich's forces.

* WhamEpisode: Issue five ends with Viceroy Alberich and his now reformed children leading an invasion on the Spirit World to Earth. [[spoiler: Issue Six opens with them ''succeeding'' and 25 more years passing where the Spirit World denizens have pretty much finished conquering the last holdouts the world's major cities while Mordecai, Rigby, Elieen, Stef and the remaining Park Crew lead a rebellion in trying to stop them.
