Amanda Sefton finally discovered the meaning behind the mysteriously-appearing pebbles - they were an 'invitation' to join the The Winding Way, a cabal which all magic users were expected to be part of and which has two 'sides', the light and the dark. Angry about yet more interference in the lives of her students, Amanda warned the magic users of the mansion to be alert for 'tests' to determine their allegiance and usefulness, as well as alerting the various teams to the potential risk posted by proponents of the Way trying to influence the students in particular. And the very next day her warnings were justified, when Clea Lake and Stephen Strange brought home a cursed card game that resulted in an invasion of giant spiders to the mansion. While no-one was injured and the spell eventually broken, it was not a fun time for those with spider issues. The Winding Way continued to be a problem, however, with Amanda having to reassess X-Force's occult resources with the potential split loyalties in mind.

One upside of the attack was that Alex Summers discovered a new powers development, which he told his brother and finacee about. And speaking of engagements, the invitations for Alex and Lorna's wedding in October were sent to the mansion dwellers.

Sooraya Qadir continued to deal with the emotions of anger and loss caused by the murder of two Mutant Underground members the month before, with Rogue helping her to talk it through. Laurie Collins had her own crisis of faith, when, after a Danger Room session with Garrison Kane and some rather pointed commentary, she realised she needed to decide if she truly was an X-Man or not. She decided that yes, she wanted to get back to active status and remain on the team and asked Garrison to help her achieve that; the result was more difficult Danger Room and sparring scenarios and a lot of bruises. Hope Abbott 'graduated' from her apprenticeship with Doug Ramsey with her first assignment from Emma Frost as White Herald of the HFC. As part of the slowly-growing unnamed science team, Everett Thomas offered Reed Richards a position, seeing the potential in the scientist's giant brain.

Finally, in a moment of contemplation, Jubilation Lee asked for stories of people's worst screwups, resulting in a thought-provoking discussion.
