A month of returns and imminent departures: Pete Wisdom returned to the school, having finished the mission; Madelyn Bartlet accepted a job offer in Edinburgh, running the Anodyne and Cornucopia Foundation, with Hank McCoy and Billy planning to join her, Jubilation Lee decided to go into the police academy and Remy LeBeau tendered his resignation with Charles Xavier, feeling betrayed. Marius Laverne settled into the school, getting used to his powers (and those of other people) and Lorna Dane stopped hiding in her room. Theresa Cassidy got drunk and fooled around with Manuel de la Rocha during a field trip and then told Bobby Drake what she'd done. During their short breakup, both of them slept with Manuel and their mutual hatred of him brought them back together. Forge discovered Danielle Moonstar was also sleeping with Manuel and took unwanted umbrage on her part. Alison Blaire confessed to Nathan Dayspring and Lorna that she intended to ask Haroun al-Rashid to marry her, when she summoned up the nerve. A routine blood test brought complications to Kurt Wagner's life as it was revealed his biological mother was Mystique. Tommy Jones was released from the medlab and received violent proof that his old life was over.
The big event of the month was the field trip to the Seattle G8 summit. Nathan and Jean Grey took a number of students with them to the summit, which included dealing with the "mutant question". However, unrest and protests erupted into a full-scale riot, necessitating the intervention of the X-Men to assist in crowd control. During the riot Scott Summers was hit in the head with a Molotov cocktail and lost an eye. The accident had the unexpected benefit of giving him control over his power in his remaining eye.
Kitty Pryde continued to act oddly, vague and tired during the day and sleep walking at night. The cause was found to be another mutant who thought he was Dracula. Jamie Madrox rescued her from his clutches and realised that he wanted to continue to help people in such ways - he spoke to Alison and Scott about becoming a trainee X-Man. Dani experienced problems with her powers as they returned to their normal state after her pregnancy, inadvertently broadcasting the fears of several of her friends.
Remy was released from medlab after almost dying and discovered Amanda Sefton's absence. After talking to several people and reading the journals, he went to the Hellfire Club and blackmailed Pete into letting him speak with her. He left, unsure whether what he'd said had been enough to let her know she still had options. Angelo Espinosa also had his own encounter with the new Black Knight, with Amanda casting a forgetting spell on him to wipe the event for his own safety. The events of two year-long plots came to a head with the binding of Selene, the near-death of Alison, and the sacrifice of the Askani to save her. Amanda returned to the school, unsure of her future but with some friends still standing by her. Pete, Nathan, Cain Marko and Alison took off to Africa to rescue Domino from Gideon Faraday and uncovered more clues to Nathan's family history along the way.
