Everyone is confused by Iceman's actions
Kitty is keeping Opal & Robert safe (for the moment)
We meet IceShells who are maybe protecting the exes
Logan confronts Bobby, who becomes a giant, and steps on Logan – which is fun.

Kitty defeats Mystique, & removes the Death Seed, then hides it
She later returns & defeats Iceman with a speech – she's great at those
Everyone goes home
Kitty confronts Bobby, who misses being free to do horrible things

Remember when we used to get a downtime issue after a big storyarc?
Marjorie Liu remembers.
Storm mentions Rachel & Kitty were invited to the party, but they couldn't make it
