In [[2023]], the [[KOSAT 5]] satellite was launched by [[South Korea]] to connect everyone "from the highest [[mountain]] to the deepest [[valley]] on Earth" to the [[internet]], which gave the Giggle the chance to finally spread worldwide, creating a wavelength that increased the humans' sense of entitlement and caused them to enact upon their every urge, becoming more hostile when told they were in the wrong, with the victims of the Giggle adhering that they were "always right".

UNIT quickly arrived to take the Doctor and Donna the the London HQ, where [[Kate Lethbridge-Stewart]], [[Shirley Bingham]] and [[Melanie Bush]] briefed them on the situation, and helped them track the origins of the Giggle to 1925 Soho. As he left to investigate, the Doctor invoked the [[Gold Protocol]] to give Kate the authority to down the KOSAT 5 satellite without causing an international incident, and UNIT quickly shot down satellite with a [[galvanic beam]], terminating the transmission of Stooky Bill and bringing the Giggle to an end. | UNIT quickly arrived to take the Doctor and Donna the the London HQ, where [[Kate Lethbridge-Stewart]], [[Shirley Anne Bingham]] and [[Melanie Bush]] briefed them on the situation, and helped them track the origins of the Giggle to 1925 Soho.

However, the Doctor and Donna then returned to warn Kate that the crisis was not over, but they were unable to properly mount a defensive when the Toymaker arrived and, after causing a distraction by dancing to "[[Spice Up Your Life]]" in the HQ control room, seized the galvanic beam. He announced his intent to remain on Earth to cause more chaos with his games, but he was successfully exiled from the universe by the combined efforts of the Fourteenth Doctor and the [[Fifteenth Doctor]] after a sudden [[bi-generation]] caused by the Toymaker shooting the Fourteenth Doctor with the galvanic beam. As he was exiled from existence, however, the Toymaker warned the Doctor that [[The Toymaker's legions|his legions]] were coming. With his banishment, the Giggle was removed from existence entirely, with even Banerjee having been freed from it and his timeline rewrote so that he never played his game with the Toymaker.
