Brief Description:
Cyclops shows Madelyne the view from the Starjammer and, despite his doubts about her proposes. Later, though, a snapshot of Jean Grey – played into his hands by Mastermind – reawakenes his doubts, causing him to ask Madelyne whether she is Phoenix reborn. Angrily, she hits him hard enough to know his glasses off. To his shock, ater he finds his glasses again Cyclops is faced by Dark Phoenix, who blasts him. In the meantime, the Starjammers have decided to leave soon to fight for Lilandra against Deathbird, accompanied by their newest member, Binary. Kitty shows Colossus a new trick with her powers and both of them share a kiss. In Japan, Wolverine demands an explanation from Mariko for aborting their wedding. After she once more insults him, he hands her back the clan’s honor sword, which she once gave him.

Story Notes:
Hepzibah may be referring to the way she met Corsair and the other Starjammers. Of course, this is not chronicled until years later in Classic X-Men #15.
Carol came to blows with the X-Men, when she saw Rogue among them in Uncanny X-Men #171.
The tale of Phoenix – at least the part that the X-Men are aware of at that point – is chronicled in Uncanny X-Men #100-137.
Mastermind already used the priest-persona as one of several identities to ingratiate himself with Phoenix on her holiday in Greece (the vacation he got the snapshot from) as seen in Uncanny X-Men #125 & Classic X-Men #24.
At the time of this issue’s publication, there was a Star Wars comics, which was published by Marvel Comics. In fact, the issue that Kitty is reading is Star Wars #73.
