February opened with the consequences of both Shiro and Piotr's attempts to conceal their family history, as Yakuza looks to kidnap Illyana from a local teashop. Only the intervention of Paige and Marie foils the plan. Lorna, Bobby, and Marie are officially added to the staff of the school. Lorna is also finally discharged from the medlab, following her injury during Alex's loss of control. While settling back in, she meets Remy for the first time.

With the various incidents causing concern for the students, Professor Xavier retains the services of his friend, Dr. Leonard Samson, to offer regular therapy services for the students and younger staff. By the end of the month, Lorna, Bobby, Angelo, Clarice, Manuel, Doug, Jamie, Amanda and Kitty all begin regular sessions. Charles reveals to the new staff members that the new groundskeeper, Cain Marko, is actually his stepbrother and grew up in the mansion. Jake recognizes Kitty's hacking abilities, and offers her a position with Infonet should she ever decide she wants one. However, the sudden divorce of her parents overwhelms her thoughts immediately following.

Logan and Marie take a short vacation from the mansion, to work on their relationship and escape some of the stress. During their absence, Cain moves out to the old boathouse and Charles officially announces the creation of Red X, a joint venture between the school and the Red Cross to provide humanitarian aid during disasters.

Remy, Sarah, and Monet arrange for a night out for most of the students at the local night club using fake ids to gain entrance. The night is marred by a confrontation between Manuel and Remy that nearly brings out Gambit from his memories accidentally. Once back at the mansion, Doug drunkenly e-mails Marie to express his love. However, Kwannon uses his addled state to force out the request Scott made of him to keep an eye on Betsy.

Trying to elevate some of the tension in the mansion, Shinobi and Marie take some of the staff and students to a local ski resort for the day. While gone, Lorna attempts to teach Manuel how to cook. Manuel uses his powers to make her binge on the food instead, badly burning her hand in the process. Remy discovers her later in her room, and drags Amanda up to heal her burned hand. Soon after, Manuel and Kwannon psychically manipulate Marie-Ange into sleeping with Remy.

Kwannon's manipulations continue as she steals a love potion Amanda made for Doug and secretly doses several female students and staff. Doug is besieged by offers, and only luck prevents the worst from happening. Once the effects have worn off, Logan confronts Doug in the hall and threatens him. Viewing the exchange, Cain threatens Logan on the staff channel if he ever approaches a student with threats again. Marie-Ange makes a devil's bargain with Manuel, that if he is willing to use his powers to keep Doug from totally withdrawing or hurting himself from his guilt, she'll sleep with him.

Cain puts his fortune in the hands of his investment broker, Cameron Hodge. Repercussions from the love potion incident leads to a major fight between Jake and Alison. Jamie holds a mixer between his HeliX group and the local teens, to both positive and negative results. Moira travels to Lichtenstein after an e-mail from an old friend, and ends up returning with the newest member of the mansion, Nathan 'Cable' Dayspring. During this time, Alison and Sam end their relationship. Emma makes offers to both Manuel and Shinobi to join the White Court of the Hellfire Club under her direction. The staff start to notice Betsy's increasingly erratic behavior, and Scott confronts Kwannon about it.

In a bizarre incident, Illyana is kidnapped by a demon named Belasco in his bid to empower Limbo. Several of the students and teachers go to save her, but by the time she's retrieved, the strange time slips of Limbo have aged her over eight and a half years. The fight puts several people in the medlab with injuries. Soon after, Doug and Marie-Ange begin their relationship. That weekend, Emma takes a group to a party at the Hellfire Club, only to discover that Alex is in the thrall of Selene, and they rescue him, returning him to the mansion.
