This episode, though, begins with something of a callback to the first X-Men movie.
Thats where Evangeline Whedon comes in.
Hes not the only one stuck in the past.

We saw a bit of that Fenris dream action last week, but this time its even more intense.
After Andy begs Lauren to join with him, her resistance leads to her falling off a roof.
Its not all bad news, though!
Somehow, I suspect this happy retirement wont stick.
Jace isnt the only one interested in the blackout.
They also figure out a solution to Andys problem.
During a break, Andy tries calling Lauren, but Reed picks up instead; he doesnt say anything.
Unfortunately, Johns meeting with Evangeline doesnt go as well.
She refuses to let him lead the mutants on a suicidal charge.
Thats right, folks: Its almost time for the Morlocks.
The other Struckers also arent able to find the same calm as Andy.
Its hard to see her joining the Fenris formation any time soon.
John lies about the meeting to Blink, saying it went well.
But once shes asleep beside him, he takes a midnight stroll.
But Marcos, at least, is able to find some light in the situation literally.
Lorna sees this makeshift Bat Signal and tells baby Dawn that her daddy is saying hi.
I wonder if Dawn will eventually acquire the messianic hopes so often attached to X-babies…
