Episode Title:
A Rogue's Tale.
Episode Description:
Mystique, Rogue's foster mother, forces her to revisit her own past. Due to Professor X's long disappearance, Ms Marvel's suppressed consciousness begins to break free - causing Rogue to receive haunting visions. Mystique lures Rogue to the hospital where she sees Ms Marvel's comatose body and remembers the past. She remembers how she ran away from her abusive, mutant-hating father and found Mystique. Mystique raised her and one day sent her on a mission to attack Ms Marvel, resulting in Rogue absorbing her powers permanently. Unfortunately when Rogue absorbed her powers, she also absorbed her consciousness - leaving Ms Marvel in a coma and Rogue plagued with Ms Marvel's psyche. Rogue finds Professor X who helps her suppress the visions along with her memories. In the present day, Ms Marvel's consciousness begins to fight Rogue over control of her body. Jean uses Cerebro to help Rogue trap/restrain Ms Marvel - Rogue is saddened regarding Ms Marvel's fate but is left with no choice. Mystique tries to convince Rogue to join her, but Rogue declares Mystique made her worse than a killer. She visits Ms Marvel's comatose body in the hospital, brings her flowers, and tells the nurses Ms Marvel's real name. As she leaves, Ms Marvel's body shows signs of life and gives a small smile.
