Can't find Aerie after she leaves me!

Korgan pissed her off and she left. I would like to get her back.
She is NOT in the circus and not at the inn in the slums. Where else might she be?

(You could spawn a version of her in, but you would lose out on any equipment she was carrying, anything she added to her spellbook, experience... unless you knew exactly what she was like before leaving and reconstructed that, you'd be out of luck.)
A day later, if Korgan and Aerie are both still in the party, the final dialogue in the chain triggers. Aerie's actions:
AR0607 is the circus tent. She goes there. I'm not sure there's any circumstance in which she leaves forever; even losing her to low reputation has her just head back to the tent where you can recruit her again if you get your reputation up.

Summoning her in ToB should work
She also leaves forever if you mess up her romance, if your rep falls too low or you encourage attacking the elves in Saradush. Interestingly so does Jaheira, that well known non good npc, whilst a number of “good” npcs look on
... wait, now I see the problem. The location (1034, 1034) she goes to on the tent map is far to the southeast, well outside the walls. A picture:
Aerie is standing in her usual location, highlighted by a red circle. The alternate location this dialogue sends her is marked by the filled-in red disk. Unmistakably a bug.
Recommended fix: edit this dialogue to send her to her usual location (469, 437) instead.
Unfortunately, the Ctrl-J console command only allows you to go to a walkable spot. You can't send a character out there to talk to her and invite her back.
By the way, leaving for low rep sends her to her usual spot in the tent. She won't rejoin unless you get your rep up some, but she won't vanish into the mysterious void where you can't follow.

Many NPCs leave permanently if they are not dropped by removing them - e.g. Jaheira if you aren’t supportive about Khalid, not doing NPC’s main quests in time etc. I recall dropping Jaheira when she didn’t like my rep and her wandering off forever.
I am interested to know if this has been changed in the latest version - have you tested this scenario and if so does she turn up in the tent without consoling and then actually rejoin the party? The OP reports that he has this exact scenario, she has now permanently gone and my understanding is that this is working as intended. She gave an ultimatum, was ignored and is now expected to rush back to rejoin?
She might be gone for good!
then talk to Quayle.
"Help! Uncle Quayle! It's ... it's so dark here. I can't move. Please, anyone? Can you hear me?"
I went to a previous save and used EEKeeper to change Korgan's alignment to Neutral Evil and she no longer leaves. Minor cheating...
The minor cheat that should work, before she leaves ... set global variable BKorgan18 to anything other than zero, so that the system thinks they've already had the last dialogue.
Whether she's completely absent or just off in an inaccessible location where you can't see her or talk to her ... it doesn't really matter as you're playing it.
Am I likely to have problems with her and Korgan again?
So far so good!
Aerie has a different response to Korgan if the banter fires in ToB, and its one of my favorites.
