Shiro Yoshida acquired and and used Kick while repelling one of the smaller waves in San Diego.
Nathan's virus flared up and he had to lobotomise himself to keep it from killing him, rendering him temporarily powerless.

Betsy Braddock came to visit Haller after his break, and was scared off by the personalities in his head.
Nathan took the rest of Elpis to Afghanistan to investigate a slave ring. It was there that they rescued a young mutant girl, Sooraya "Dust" Qadir, and brought her back to the mansion. Kitty Pryde got a job offer at Caltech, and Jamie Madrox encouraged her to take it.
