Synopsis for "On the Road: Part 1 of 8 - Long and Winding Road"
Wolverine heads down to the Carolinas in search of the missing X-Men when he comes across and rescues a man being attacked by a grizzly bear. Logan doesn't recognize the man as Bruce Banner at first, so he doesn't understand why the tattered and scrawny man is acting standoffish and declines a ride in favor of running off into the woods. Worried, Wolverine tracks the man to a cave where he's met by the Hulk.
Somehow meanwhile elsewhere, a naked Wolverine slashes an unseen victim as they plead for mercy.

Synopsis for "Family Matters: Part 2 of 4 - Confrontation"
Holding his sister hostage, Tiger Shark admits he faked his illness by lowering his metabolism with his shark powers in hopes of being transferred out of maximum security, and finding himself at the Newell Institute was an unexpected bonus. The Guardsman he knocked out earlier comes to in time to get the drop on him and make him let go of Diane. With her out of the way, Stingray joins the fight, but neither of the armored warriors are able to match Tiger Shark's strength. After knocking Stingray through a wall and leaving him for dead, Tiger Shark grabs the horrified Diane so she can continue to be his hostage and escapes. When Stingray finally regains consciousness, he finds he needs to hang back long enough to stabilize the severely injured Guardsman. Once his patient is hooked up to the lab's life-support system, he heads out and dives into the ocean in pursuit of his brother-in-law.

Even after he helps her uncover the statue's secret as an automated death trap and turn it against its cultist curator, she turns all her power against the Shroud determined to destroy him at all costs.
