Synopsis for "Part Four: Diamonds Are Forever"

Emma Frost lies in her bed, sleepless in anticipation of the upcoming Hellfire Gala. As she would soon learn, the Gala does not go off without a hitch. Shortly before it, Cyclops leaks the existence of the Resurrection Protocols to reporter Ben Urich, causing wide-spread protests against Krakoa, as the human public resents mutantkind for not sharing the technology.

On her way out from the gala, Emma is approached by Chinese ambassador Mingyu, who questions her on the Resurrection Protocols, disbelieving her when she tells him that the technology cannot be extended to mankind. He suggests giving access only to world leaders, key donors and industry figures, and once they have it, they will then ensure that the general public accept its limitations. Emma agrees to bring the suggestion to the Quiet Council, when she is suddenly doused with sheep's blood by a human woman whose husband recently died in a boating accident.

The following day, Emma brings the ambassador's suggestion to the Quiet Council. Sinister suggests that they accept Mingyu's suggestion and that he offer his cloning services to world leaders, giving him an opportunity to tamper with their genes. Professor X interrupts Sinister with news that a man has just died after injecting himself with Mutant Growth Hormone in the belief that if he died as a mutant he would be eligible for resurrection. The discussion continues, as Sebastian Shaw talks about the negative PR this will bring Krakoa, before he is interrupted by Emma.

She has received a series of memories from Cyclops, and presents them to the council. The memories show Cyclops fighting Doctor Stasis and learning that Stasis was in fact Nathaniel Essex, claiming to be the original whereas Sinister was merely a clone. Shaken by the discovery, Sinister escapes the meeting and flees back to his hideout. Just before entering the portal, he finds Destiny waiting for him, asking him if he doesn't want to know what's going on, and warning him not to be a coward.

In his hideout, Sinister deduces that there must be two more versions of himself in addition to Stasis, as he prepares to kill his Moira clone and reset the timeline. Just before pulling the trigger, he remembers Irene's warning. He realizes that she is on to him, and decides to carry on the timeline. He purges and re-installs his personality before returning to face the council, swearing that he will clear his name. Before the council can decide what to do with him, he is suddenly kidnapped.

Solicit Synopsis

A GALA PERFORMANCE!

Emma Frost will do anything to protect the children, including the metaphorical child that is the Hellfire Gala. Last year's was a fantastic success. She would not like it if someone ruined the second. She would not like it at all. But don't worry, I'm sure it'll go fine.
