1986
The Ghostbusters encounter their counterparts from the year 2023; Eden Spengler and her brother Johnathan Christopher are among the "future" Ghostbusters.
1997
The appearance of the disease spirit Achira forces Egon to recruit his four latest students to become a new team of Ghostbusters (the so-called "Extreme" Ghostbusters). Simultaneously, Janine Melnitz reenters his life, and she later helps restore his severed relationships with Venkman, Ray, and Winston
In December, Egon finally proposes to Janine, and the two are engaged.
1998
At long last, after fifteen years of confusion, denial, and reversals, the wedding of Egon Spengler and Janine Melnitz occurs.
1999
June 13 Birth of Eden Marie and Johnathan Christopher Spengler.
2003
The present-day Ghostbusters are once again aided by the 2023 version of John, Eden, and the other Ghostbusters.
2012
Johnathan Christopher and Eden Marie Spengler graduate from high school just before their thirteenth birthdays. They both go on to college, John studying engineering and Eden specializing in linguistics and computer programming; both, unsurprisingly, also study heavily in physics.
Dr. Eden Spengler, unsurprisingly, becomes an accomplished scientist in her own right. In 2021, she becomes a Reserve member of Ghostbusters New York. In 2023, she journeys back to 1986 then 2003 to aid her father's team.
In 2024, she and her brother are once again pulled into the past to deal with the schemes of Josiah Nodus; they deal with the disturbing claim that Johnathan is "Lord Gemini", a figure of Atlantean prophesy. The truth of this claim remains elusive.
Later in 2024, Eden meets pediatric oncologist Edward Sanders. Perhaps unsurprisingly, considering her family history, Eden is confused by the feelings he creates in her.
