[edit] Synopsis
This episode follows Days of Future Past, part 2. The episode begins with the X-Men watching anti-mutant protests, over the kidnapping of Senator Robert Kelly. Magneto has kidnapped the Senator and brought him over to a sunken ship to kill him, so that mutants and humans would go to war. As tries to kill him, Sentinels come and badly injure Magneto, because he couldn't use his powers on the Sentinels, since they were made of plastic. Then the Sentinels take the senator. When the X-Men finally find where Magneto is, it's too late, the Sentinels are already gone with the senator. They find Magneto under a rubble and take him to the X-Mansion.
The Sentinels take Senator Kelly to Master Mold. Bolivar Trask had sent them to bring the senator. In return of saving him, Trask wants Kelly to pass a presidential order putting Sentinels in-charge of controlling mutants. Trask asks the Sentinels to return the Senator to his campaign headquarters, but the Sentinels refuse. Master Mold wants to replace all the world leaders' brains with computers, so that Sentinels could control the world, with Kelly being the first. Confused, Trask reminds Master Mold that he and the other Sentinels were programmed to only hunt and control the mutant population, not the humans, but is shocked when Master Mold reminds him that mutants are humans; therefore, logically, humanity must be protected from themselves, regardless if they have mutant powers or not. Trask, initially believing Master Mold to be mistaken, tries to reason with the robot, but as the accurate and irrefutable truth of Master Mold's words starts to sink in, he realizes that he's created an even dangerous threat than the mutants he created them to hunt.
Gambit had seen the man in charge of the Sentinels in Genosha, so they find out who he is to find out where the Sentinel base is. They find that his name is Henry Peter Gyrich. Then they find Gyrich and get the location of Sentinels' base. Then the X-Men go to the base to rescue Kelly. When they get to the base, Master Mold activates all the sentinels and they attack. Cyclops, Wolverine, Gambit, and Jean Grey go underground to defeat Master Mold, while the others fight the Sentinels on ground. Later Magneto also comes to help the X-Men. Jean Grey and Cyclops find Master Mold and blow up a propane gas line near Master Mold. The whole mine starts blowing up and the X-Men escape with Kelly and Trask. All the Sentinels go to help Master Mold. Then the mine blows up, destroying all the Sentinels. But master Mold survives, so Professor X rams a X-Jet filled with explosives into Master Mold. Xavier parachutes out and Master Mold is destroyed.
Later Senator Kelly helps Beast be released. And Cyclops proposes to Jean Gray. Jean Accepts. At the end of the episode, Sinister is shown watching cyclops and Jean gray on a television. Right here this episode ends.
