Another month of upheaval for the students. Yvette uncharacteristically lost control of her emotions on an Elpis trip to Kosovo, attacking the man who had kidnapped and sold her, resulting in both herself and Angel, who had gone with her, in being grounded for some time and Laurie being seriously hurt. Yvette herself was sulky about the incident, until a talk with Garrison provided much needed perspective and Kyle suggested Danger Room training for her to be able to cut loose instead of internalising her frustrations so much.

Barely had the dust cleared from this incident when it was Inez Temple| Inez's turn. Goaded by some local boys in a Salem Center diner, she caused a near-riot and found herself in jail facing a number of serious charges from the anti-mutant Salem Center Police Department. A combination of diplomacy from Adrienne, Cain Marko| Cain and Dani and rank-pulling from Garrison got her out of jail, but her punishment was to repair the damage she did and work for the diner until the owner was satisfied.

The field trip curse again resurfaced, this time as Angelo was taking a small group of students to an exhibition in Central Park. A pro-mutant group, Alvorecer Novo was attacked by young mutant terrorists, scattering the students into the woods. Luckily the X-Men were close by, having been involved in Blackbird exercises, but their intervention resulted in the death of one of the youngsters as an optic blast by Cyclops went astray. Back at the mansion, examination of the body revealed a Mistra tattoo, confirming suspicions from Alaska about the Taygetos program - that it was 'breeding' and training a new generation of operatives. With Mistra gone, however, questions arose as to which particular private agency was involved, Nathan coming to his own conclusions about Tara Trask and her warped vision of the Askani philosophy.

Jane finally found some answers in regards to her origins, although they were less than satisfactory. After Amanda tracked down the woman who had accosted Jane in New York, she, Jane and Monet paid a visit to Nascor, an environmental organisation. An incident with a 'security guard' there aroused suspicions about Jane's amnesia, and after an unsatisfactory explanation from the group's higher ups and a clear attempt to psychically influence Jane to stay, the group left. Later that evening, Jane received an anonymous email with details of her parents and her own birth records, and a warning not to return to Nascor again.

Forge showed he might be physically healed from his encounter with Nimrod, but mentally he was still not ready to return to X-Men duty. Jay returned from Muir Island Research Facility to continue his convalescence at the mansion and Remy, still dodging Langstrom's men, emailed the Junior Trenchcoats with a number of specific missions, intended as their "graduation" pieces. Marius 'accidentally' acquired his full X-Man name by making a typo and being unable to fix it. Jennie and Amanda had another bitchfight on the journals, resulting in Manuel providing an unlikely source of perspective to the witch when the past was brought up. Marie returned and Rahne left, to attend the Elpis office in Tel Aviv for several months.
