Summary

  Sean's gunships are missing; the X-Men say he's losing control, so he shows them Mastermind, the original's daughter, whom he's using to force the bad guys onto his team. Seems something's gone wrong.

  Radius has paid Stacy to use her pheromones on him; they are interrupted by helicopters, and then Avalanche and Blob attack. Blob slams Stacy into the ground and leaves her there, but his hand tingles.

  Leyu is dead; Abyss is unconscious; Kurt is angry. The rebel X-Corps are attacking the monuments of Paris, as an act of mutant terrorism, and using some Multiple Men to pilot the choppers. Sean orders Multiple Man to reconsolidate and override Mastermind's control of his dupes.

  Kurt finds Jon unconscious in the Blackbird, which has been booby-trapped. Boom. Warren is sure they got out; Multiple Man shows him Sean's secret arms cache, and he picks out a large gun; Stacy wakes, angry.

  Sean tries to shock Mastermind, feeling responsible for all this; a Multiple Man attacks him from behind, stabbing his throat; she reveals herself as Mystique.
