X-Force came to the rescue of Artie Maddicks, who had run afoul of Arcade in Atlantic City; with Artie in debt to Arcade and reluctant to return to the school, Marie-Ange Colbert decided to give him a job at the Snow Valley Memorial Center for Mutant Affairs so she could keep an eye on him and hone his training. Lorna Dane finally gained access to the mysterious lockbox, only to discover a picture of a much younger Magneto and indications he had known her birth mother; unsettled by the possibility he might actually be her father, Lorna sought out Wanda Maximoff and convinced her to do a comparative DNA test.
Susan Storm and Madelyne Pryor got together during the cast party for the musical, and Billy Kaplan finally admitted to himself and others that he was gay - the reaction was far more laid back than he had expected.

And Matt Murdock asked his friend Hope Abbott to the prom.
Newcomer Frank Ludlum continued to seek out more about the school, talking to Yvette Petrovic about the Red X program, volunteering with X-Corps, bonding with his English teacher Kyle Gibney over Shakespeare, discussing addiction with Matt and being teased with the news of Sue and Maddie's new relationship. Jean Grey took on Adrienne Frost to train her in psionics in the wake of her powers mishap the previous month and Korvus Rook'shir organised celebrations for Holi, an Indian festival involving lots of multi-coloured dye powder being thrown.
