The New Mutants have survived the explosion, but Karma is missing and the New Mutants think she's dead. Professor X thinks otherwise, but prefers to let them believe that because he sensed a malefic psychic entity. Sunspots mother shows up, and offers to take them all with her on her next anthropological trip, so they fly down to Rio to cheer up. Emmanuel da Costa arranges with Sebastian Shaw to kidnap his wife to prevent her from going on her expedition.
