The episode starts with the war of Kree–Shi’ar where the news of Lilandra Neramani and Professor Xavier is announced by her. Deathbird, who is her sister, doesn’t want her to marry someone who is a Terran.
As a result, she takes away M’Dashaa’s rites and Xavier is given a challenge to purge every memory he has of Earth. This is done to test his loyalty toward the empire of Shi’ar. He rejects this challenge which leads to a war between Deathbird and the Royal Guard.
Xavier then tries to convince them to coexist with each other on a plane of Astral. He sees visions related to the demise of Gambit which forces him to cancel his engagement with Lilandra. He also wants to go back to Earth. Forge and Storm are looking for a cactus of a rare breed in Arizona that will fix the poisoning of the bite given by the Adversary.
