The mutants having to do a full PR campaign to convince people they are "normal" while their land gets hit with an unprovoked terrorist attack. Rogue's discovering that intimacy is more than just the ability to touch. The use of the Ace of Base song as foreshadowing. Magnito's final words to Leech. Rogue's closing words to Gambit. This whole episode was a masterclass in storytelling. There wasn't a single wasted frame.
I genuinely gagged when Magnito said so many countries allow their world leaders to be war criminals. He clocked her tea. I love that this show isn't afraid to go there.
There is so much insane soap opera melodrama going on yet somehow they manage to keep the show grounded. The love triangle between Scott, Jean, and Madelyne should be ridiculous but they managed to make it complex and compelling.
