[edit] Synopsis

[edit] Till Death Do Us Part, part 1

The episode begins with Wolverine in the Danger Room training against robots that look like Cyclops. Meanwhile Jean Grey and Cyclops are getting married. After the wedding is over the reverend transforms back into Morph. He is disturbed at the fact that he was left behind to die (he was left behind in the Night of the Sentinals (part 2) episode after he was shot and the X-Men thought he was dead).

The president pardons Beast of all the charges against him and he is released from prison. Graydon Creed, who is the leader of Friends of Humanity, sends in one of his men dressed up as a mutant to terrorize everyone. Soon the Friends of Humanity start anti-mutant riots.

Morph doesn't really want to exact revenge on his former allys, but he has a split personality and his evil part in stronger, so Morph can't stop himself. Then he poses as Magneto and sends a distress call to Professor X and says he needs his help and is in some kind of trouble in Antarctica. So the professor goes after him alone and tells the X-men it's a personal matter.

Gambit, Beast, and Wolverine go to a bar to play pool, then Friends of Humanity attack them. And Creed records everything on a video camera and later shows on the news that Beast was involved in a riot and terrorizing civilians. Wolverine gets mad at hearing this and goes out for a drive.

Morph transforms into Wolverine and gets inside the X-Mansion. Afterwards he transforms into Rogue and tells Gambit that she is able to touch other people, so Gambit later goes up to the real Rogue and kisses her and falls unconscious.

Meanwhile, Morph transforms as Storm and tells Jubilee to go to a place to protect some mutants. When she gets there she meets Graydon Creed and goes inside.

After hearing of another riot, Storm and Rogue go to stop them. Later on storm gets badly injured when Morph transforms into the police chief and orders everyone to shoot her. Then Storm is taken away on an ambulance. Mister Sinister watches the whole thing on TV and then the episode ends in a cliffhanger.

The episode starts off with Cyclops and Jean Grey on a sailboat headed for an island. Meanwhile, Beast is overloaded with the Danger Room, but is eventually able to stop it. Morph, outside of the X-Mansion, feels as if he belongs there. Mister Sinister approaches him, and convinces him to turn back to his evil side. He then states that Cyclops and Jean Grey will be his.

Cyclops and Jean Grey, enjoying their vacation, is interrupted by Ruckus, who tears their ship apart with his scream. The rest of the Nasty Boys ambush the pair, and slip the power-dampering collars on them, while Mister Sinister introduces himself. Rogue and Beast, back in New York, sneak into the hospital where Storm is. Rogue feels remorse over not staying with her, and then blames Beast. A doctor eventually comes in and notices the two standing by Storm, rushing away to get security. At the Friends of Humanity rally, Graydon Creed brings out Jubilee, and the group plan on murdering her. Wolverine bursts through and takes out the men, saving Jubilee and escaping.

Beast and Rogue return to the mansion to find Gambit, who is recovering from kissing Rogue. Professor X appears, as do Wolverine and Jubilee. Wolverine immediately knows it is not Professor X, and the professor orders the X-Men to kill him. Suddenly, Morph reveals himself and escapes. The others can't believe Morph is still alive. Later, Wolverine and Jubilee find him in the X-Jet carrier. Wolverine explains why they had to leave Morph behind, when Morph suddenly shapeshifts into Wolverine. Jubilee confusingly blasts the real Wolverine while Morph escapes in the jet.

Jubilee visits Storm at the hospital and tells her of Morph. Meanwhile, Morph lands on the island and returns to Mister Sinister. Cyclops is shocked to see him alive, but Morph reveals he was the priest that married him and Jean Grey. He continues to blame Cyclops for leaving him behind, and prepares to shoot him, but is stopped by Mister Sinister. As he explains how he found Morph, the X-Men enter. The Nasty Boys immediately attack, Ruckus' scream blasting them out of the facility. Wolverine battles Hairbag, while Rogue fights Slab. Gorgeous George apprehends Gambit and attempts to rip him apart, but is flung away by Rogue. Ruckus is eventually defeated by Beast, and the X-Men prepare to battle Mister Sinister. Cyclops tries to convince Morph he's still an X-Man. Morph then shoots Mister Sinister in the back, but he is unaffected. Cyclops, enraged, is able to break out of the contraption and saves Jean Grey, then blasts Mister Sinister. He groans in agony, and begs Ruckus to get the plane. The Nasty Boys grab Sinister and flee in a jet. Cyclops and Jean Grey vow to get married again one day. Morph escapes, while Wolverine vows to find him.

In Antarctica, Professor X finds Magneto, both confused. An avalanche occurs and swallows both men.
