Summary

  Cable uses mind control to sneak into Xylon Electronics. He downloads data from their computers and delivers a Bible to Temple, marked at Daniel 5: "you have been judged and found wanting." Temple scrambles security, but Cable escapes, having wiped Temple's memory since the age of 7. He is taking down the Sisterhood one member at a time in a way that exposes them to a media blitz, meanwhile sending lists of their members in the government to Bridge. He sets up a new base, and then walks the streets as bait.

  Irene, using an image inducer to make her black, is stopped by cops for no reason: racial profiling. When she tells them she has a web-cam on her car, they back down.

  Long ago, Fiona was an heiress who killed her parents and dispossessed her brother, who has the mutant power to absorb knowledge. She can see possible futures and sees Cable at the end of them; she wants her brother as an ally.

  Weeks ago, Rachel went to an anti-mutant rally and realized Moore was of the Dark Sisterhood and a low-level telepath. She has planted a bomb and wants to cause an anti-mutant riot.

  The Sisterhood attacks Cable, but he isn't there. He left a note saying their memories are about to be wiped. The sisters play with childlike innocence.
