Wow, that looks painful, sorry for ya.
Due to increasing supernatural activity, the Ghostbusters have hired a new member on the team. After Slimer escapes and heads back to the Sedgewick Hotel, where he was first captured, the team tracks him down and contains him again. Not long after, a mandala surge hits Times Square, causing the Destructor Form of Gozer, the Stay?Puft Marshmallow Man, to manifest once more. After the team brings him down, they reconnect with Dr. Ilyssa Selwyn, a Sumerian expert who has recently been caught in the middle of several paranormal disturbances.
After being called to the New York Public Library again, they run back into the librarian ghost, who they discover is Dr. Eleanor Twitty, and learn that she was murdered by Edmund Hoover, a Gozerian cult leader and early disciple of Ivo Shandor.
OOOO You missed me!
The team eventually determines that Ilyssa is a descendant of Shandor himself, the founder of the Cult of Gozer. Shandor has been inhabiting the mayor and manipulating events to trigger a full return of Gozer. After the Ghostbusters confront and defeat Shandor, the crisis finally ends. Realizing they’re now overstaffed, the team offers the rookie the chance to run a Ghostbusters franchise in either Chicago, Los Angeles, or Cincinnati.
