Synopsis for "The Isolationist"

Jamie drinks with a dupe in a bar which segues into Josef Huber sitting on a throne of ice in a cave somewhere in the Arctic. He is shown unwillingly listening to the thoughts of a large number of people, but takes some pills and the voices fade.

Layla and Nicole get ready for bed. Nicole heads to the bathroom, and Layla warns her to hold the toilet handle down, or else stuff comes back up.

Jamie tries to reconcile things between himself and M and Siryn. M challenges him to tell them which of the two was better in bed. He's rescued from his dilemma when Wolfsbane arrives to yell at Monet. Monet argue, but then Monet complains about Rahne's doggie breath and flies to the bathroom to puke.

Josef Huber teleports New York, where he is hit by a semi. Huber walks away, the semi does not. Huber watches the X-Factor Investigations building. Nicole spots him out the building and smiles at him. Rictor cries to himself about not having any powers, but cheers up once Rahne sleeps with him.

The next day, Val Cooper offers Guido a new job as sheriff of Mutant Town. Jamie, M, and Siryn meet with new clients, Mr. and Mrs. Tyler who want X-Factor to enforce their court orderer visitation rights with the grandchildren, the Purity Singers, who sing anti-mutant hate songs. M and Siryn take the case by themselves on Jamie's suggestion. Nicole shows Layla Miller a pregnancy test she found which she said came back up out of the toilet. Layla is upset, because she did not foresee the pregnancy.

Josef Huber introduces himself the Jamie, who's drinking in the bar again.

Synopsis for "Endangered Species (Chapter Three)"

On the path to the High Evolutionary's citadel, Hank McCoy and his local guides have been stopped by a contingent of the Knights of Wundagore, led by Snow Queen, who says they can go no further, on pain of death. Beast tells the guides to go back, then says that White Tiger, Snow-Queen's sister, a former super hero, would never have threatened to kill unarmed bystanders.

Enraged by the insult, Snow Queen rushes to attack him, and the two struggle in the snow, before a hologram of the High Evolutionary interrupts them to say to bring Beast inside for a meeting.

In the workshop, Beast asks for help saving the mutant race from extinction. High Evolutionary says that extinction has a place in the natural process, from disease or changing climate or asteroids. Beast snaps back that Scarlet Witch is not an impersonal disaster, but a mortal woman, suffering from a personal tragedy and gifted with too much power. Beast reaches out to the High Evolutionary's shoulder... and finds only a hologram. High Evolutionary admits that he is busy elsewhere, and is teleconferencing as an effort to give Beast some closure. Beast's research will not result in success. Science cannot help him in this magical conundrum, and he is better served doing nothing that committing resources to sure failure... which is what the High Evolutionary told Beast's "colleague".

Beast is curious who he is talking about, but High Evolutionary considers the meeting over, and his hologram vanishes.

Snow Queen and her troop lead Beast back outside, and remind him that evolution and adaptation are core parts of the success of life. Everywhere he goes on Earth, he is treading ground where a species died...
