Spoilers: As Blob and Psylocke take Moneta into custody, Northstar notices how friendly they got. Jean-Paul runs off alone caught up in his thoughts. The next morning at Department X’s HQ, Northstar comes across Moneta, who’s been reconditioned as lost memories of her transgressions. Blob and Betsy brief the team on their two assignments for the day, and Northstar volunteers to check on an illegal movie theater showing romance pictures. It turns out the theater is run by Rictor and Northstar is a regular movie goer. Jean-Paul uses his position in Dept. X to warn Rictor in advance. Back at the HQ, Iceman decides to follow Northstar. Moneta is left alone and uses her powers on herself to recall what she had been made to forget. At the theater, Iceman joins Northstar and Rictor, and the three of them hang out and drink together, while Jean-Paul opens up about the feeling of missing someone he doesn’t know. Elsewhere, Moneta is attacked by the followers of Apocalypse. While Iceman, Northstar and Rictor comfort each other, Jubilee sets the town on fire and says she now remembers having a child. Northstar also remembers his sister Aurora and husband Kyle, and Jubilee confirms she was at their wedding. They realize memories were taken away from them and suggest rioting.
“For so long, my life has been out of control. Chaos and serendipity, wrapped in insanity. I have suffered, I have lost. Not just my life, but my very soul, my self. But no more. Now I know who I am.” – Elizabeth ‘Betsy’ Braddock, daughter of Otherworld, mutant, telepath, telekinetic, defender of the realm and, above all, X-Man.

In addition to Psylocke, I really hope that Northstar and Kyle are both present in the new Hickman era. Rictor would be icing on the cake.
@Rahsaan I expected Psylocke to appear on a cover at least a POX/HOX variant as a key player in many of the greatest events of the 80's that brought fame to the X-Men. The Mutant Massacre, Fall of the Mutants, The Brood Return, Inferno with Mr Sinister and Goblin Queen, The Reavers and Siege Perilous Saga.
Northstar will appear somehow but not Kyle. Rictor might appear in the background or in flashbacks of the X-Factor era.
@Jaime, by Hickmam era I meant HoX/PoX abd beyond as he will be creatively leading the X Office and writing the flagship title after the two miniseries end. 💜
@Rahsaan let's hope that he will look after Betsy for the reason she has been treated like a soulless killing machine for too long. We never get the chance to read about the human aspect of Betsy and her relationships with her teammates, friends and family. If Hickman follows the character Claremont, Davis and Steve Moore have built then Psylocke will be fine. Rick Remender stood by her and left a little to be desired at the same time.
I hope for better treatment too. SHe's a human not always a jumpy stabby ninja. I mean we need to move past the Kewl 90's trope. It's time for character to return to marvel.
"Sorry we're late we walked" I kinda feel like this is Leah being coy and implying they're having sex lol
