X‑Men '97 Season 2, Episode 2 landed as part of the three‑episode premiere and immediately leaned into surprise cameos and team shakeups. The episode retools the X‑Force opening, gives Jubilee a standout action moment, and spotlights Cable, Bishop, and the Remender Horsemen. Gates McFadden returns as Mother Askani while John DeLancie and Michael Dorn are credited with parts, and viewers noticed a Thor cameo and a particularly effective music needle drop. The episode also teases X‑Factor getting more than a passing mention and prompted nostalgic takes about Nathan Summers.
