A CNN crew is allowed access to the mansion for a television special on mutant schools. Various students and teachers who don't want to be on television join Hank in the basement for card games.

2004: Remy's Eleven: The Remy's Eleven team assemble in Las Vegas, and find out just how insane the job is; Nathan and Haroun go to the Luxor, to talk some things over away from the others. Madelyn feeds Scott cookies and gets him to actually talk.

2005: Scott stops down to see Tommy and tell him that he can expect a new roommate. There are productive bits in the conversation, but Scott also lays down the law. Tommy's not entirely receptive; later, Scott's managed to work himself into a migraine, between Round Three with yet another problem student and too much reading. Alex decides that it's time to solicit his opinion on a matter of much importance. Haroun and Alison explore the frontiers of cybernetic science. In a seemingly uncharacteristic helpful gesture, Forge takes a laptop down to Tommy and gets him set up on the school network. And just as surprisingly, the two of them have an amazingly civil and friendly conversation. Haroun has a much better day than his previous post, a couple of days before, but by the end of the day he writes Alison a letter admitting he's drowning and asking for her help.

2006: Operation: Xorn: Pete notifies Charles of the Xorn situation. It starts snowing, much to the joy of the students.

Roadside Assistance: On the way back from a field trip to the Smithsonian Natural History Museum, Generation X encounters a multiple vehicle pile up and stop to help, leaving just as authorities arrive; Maya doesn't handle being at an accident scene well, and Darcy tries to distract her from what's going on outside the bus.
