Shortly after Rachel Summers returns to Muir Isle with Nightcrawler, Kitty Pryde, and Dr. Campbell from the wedding of Scott Summers and Jean Grey, Rachel realizes that she must give up her spot in this timeline so that Captain Britain can come back from after being trapped in other spots throughout time and space.

Note: This is the last story with Rachel Summers, since she gets lost in the timestream in this issue. She would make a number of appearances in the Marvel Universe (as Mother Askani) from that time on, but it was in the X-Men: Phoenix mini-series that it is actually explained where Rachel ended up right after this issue.

Second Sotry: "A Demon Went to Church on Tuesday" Nightcrawler fights against the fear that the ordinary people feel for him, and seeks comfort in the confession to a priest.
