| Synopsis
| - The Beast and Iceman discuss Cannonball’s serious injuries, before the Beast visits his other patient, Blindfold, who cryptically informs him that things are going to get much worse. The White Queen interrupts Cyclops’s thoughts - again - a time when he, Cable, and Jean were together. Cyclops and the White Queen discuss Cable’s death, before they meet with the other remaining X-Men to discuss what to do about Mr. Sinister. Various plans are made, and after the meeting, Iceman asks Cyclops about what is going to happen to Rogue’s team. Cyclops points out that it is non-existent, and they argue about Rogue’s leadership and the events that took place involving her team. Later, Iceman visit’s the recovering Cannonball, and they discuss their battle with the Marauders, before the power goes out, and Blindfold utters yet another cryptic message. Meanwhile, at Sinister’s base, Mystique and Sinister argue about the best way to treat Rogue, among other things, while Gambit remains at Rogue’s side, talking to her, unaware that she is dreaming of him and some of their past situations. Rogue wakes briefly, but she is still clearly messed up. Mystique and Gambit exchange words, and Raven warns him that things are going according to plan, while Exodus asks Sinister if he was right to align himself and his Acolytes to Sinister’s cause, as the rebirth of the mutant race has not happened yet, while Sinister assures him that things will fall into place - and then the X-Men will not even know what it is they are fighting for.
