Plot
"Lights Out" - Beast cleans up what's left of the X-mansion, preserves what needs preserved, and destroys what doesn't, before saying goodbye and leaving.

"Planting Seeds" - Illyana Rasputin is dealing with her transformation into a demon, brought on by Belasco. After a visit to the Earth dimension, and witnessing the aftermath of the Messiah Complex, she steels herself to become human once more by capturing the souls of those who have wronged her.

"The Hole" - Havok and his team are trapped and tortured in a hole of a prison led by Vulcan, who lets Havok know what's been happening back home. The results were not what Vulcan expected.

"Idee Fixe" - Forge leaves a hospital and heads home to pick up the pieces and resume his research. Bishop is waiting for him, and we learn what happened between "Messiah Complex" and "Cable Vol. 2, #1." Forge then gets back to the drawing board, ready to make sure nobody breaks into his lab again.

"The Sun Also Sets" - Surge breaks into Moonstar's cabin, and receives a much needed pep talk.
