Synopsis for "Precipice"
In the Danger Room, Sabretooth is heavily shackled, and Professor X is attempting to reason with him. Sabretooth questions Xavier's motives and insists that he doesn't want help. Xavier explains that the safety of society's innocents must be protected, regardless of Sabretooth's desires. Bishop watches, ready to intervene if necessary, but Cyclops advises restraint.
Later, Bishop discusses Sabretooth's situation with Cyclops and Jean Grey. Jean reveals that she performed a psi-scan and saw disturbing images in Sabretooth's mind. Bishop expresses frustration about not finding a solution to his own problems since his return from Israel.
Sabretooth continues to taunt Xavier, claiming that Xavier's moral sense of responsibility has trapped him, much like his own mutation. He argues that Xavier and Magneto both act according to their desires, and Xavier's dream is just an illusion. The Professor contacts Dr. Valerie Cooper, indicating his decision to turn Sabretooth over to the government's custody. Creed mocks Xavier's choices and challenges him to admit that he is powerless in the face of his own mistakes.
After Xavier leaves, Sabretooth continues to berate Boomer within the Danger Room. He manipulates her emotions, causing her anger. As their confrontation escalates, Bishop and Psylocke become concerned, but Boomer insists on handling the situation by herself. But as Creed continues to provoke her, she activates her explosive powers and accidentally frees Sabretooth from his shackles. Psylocke immediately jumps to Boomers side, but Creed quickly overpowers her, and Boomer can only watch in horror as Sabretooth slashes right into Betsy's guts.
Cyclops, Beast, and Archangel respond to the emergency call but arrive too late. They find Psylocke mortally wounded, Sabretooth missing, and Tabitha devastated. Psylocke lies dying in Boomer's arms, and the X-Men are left to deal with the tragic aftermath of Sabretooth's escape.
