Spoilers: Beverly Hills – Jubilee and Wolverine take Shogo on vacation
to Jubilee’s hometown. Jubilee shows Logan the house she grew up in. Wolverine
offers to buy her the house, but Jubilee declines. Then, they have lunch in the
same mall Jubilee saw Storm, Rogue, Psylocke and Dazzler for the first time
during their night out. At the end of the day, Logan ends up buying the house
for Jubilee.
Northern California – The X-Men aboard the Blackbird
approach an airplane with an engine fire. The airports are offline due to a fire and
the plane isn’t allowed to land. Storm orders Psylocke, Kitty and Rogue to come
up with a rescue plan while she talks to Rachel, who’s still upset about the way
Storm handled the Karima/Arkea situation. The girls’ plan involves anchoring the
plane with TK. Psylocke creates a TK crossbow for that end and lets Rogue
borrow her powers. Meanwhile, Storm and Rachel keep arguing inside the Blackbird.
Neither come to an agreement. Rogue manages to link the airplane with the
Blackbird with TK, which overloads Psylocke. Rogue’s TK wears off and Storm
comes to her rescue. The airplane is safe to land and Storm is proud of what
they did together.

This issue was gorgeous.
Filler.
May be a filler, but it's a gorgeously-drawn filler. With a really nice interaction between Jubilee and Wolverine (first time he's not a douche in ages). The mission of the other X-Women was a little clumsy, but wasn't bad and provided some nice moments. And it set up the divergences between Storm and Rachel, which will probably have a big impact in Battle of the Atom...
Overall, a great issue.
This wasn't a filler issue, at all. Rachel & Storm discussed the idea of them forming as an official X-squad. Not only that, they also discussed the fall out of deciding on Karima's fate. Plus, it looks like Wolverine just bought them a team base.
Can someone explain why Betsy overloaded?
Rogue mimics powers; she doesn't share them with the source host...
I'm sure I'm just misunderstanding the synopsis... maybe it was just feedback? ...or she was just taxed overall?
SoulTapestry,
Actually Rogue does not mimic powers (like Synch). She actually takes them (now she can control the degree). Which is why Carol Danvers had no powers for a while until becoming Binary. In addition she takes the person's memories/psche and attributes too. Another reason why, the memories of Carol formed an alter which could take control of her body... while Carol lost all her memories.
