After losing contact with his former squadmates, Alexander Lexington left the mansion for South America. Topaz continued to feel the consequences of her powers experiments with Tandy Bowen, with various uncomfortable scenes. Madelyne Pryor and Billy Kaplan secured roles with the Salem Center high school's production of Bye Bye Birdie, and Molly Hayes began dealing with memories that had previously been buried but were beginning to resurface.
Following news of his birth parents from Amanda Sefton and Jennifer Walters, Artie Maddicks left the mansion for parts unknown, needing time to process. Kurt Sefton told Jubilation Lee that he loved her, prompting a small panic and a talk with a confused Kyle Gibney. Jean Grey ran into Hope Abbott during one of the latter's late night wanderings and reacted strangely, haunted by memories of her own lost Hope A.. Something good came of the encounter - Scott Summers, hearing about it on the grapevine, finally broke the ice on the subject and he and Jean began talking again. In other relationship news, Sooraya Qadir, finding out third hand about Angelo Espinosa's relationship with Jean-Phillipe Colbert, reacted badly, finding herself conflicted between her friendship with Angelo and her religious beliefs on homosexuality. Lorna Dane made a discovery that set her questioning her parentage yet again.
Finally, in a vacation-gone-wrong in the tried and true Xavier's tradition, Garrison Kane and Adrienne Frost were shipwrecked and then rescued by a rejuvenated Magneto and an expanded Brotherhood of Mutants. While Magneto claimed to simply have created a mutant haven on the island of Avalon, the discovery that he was armed with a nuclear arsenal from a downed submarine forced the pair's hands and resulted in another clash with the X-Men, who destroyed the weapons before they could be used, while Magneto and his followers escaped yet again.
