Synopsis for "Childhood's End: Part 1 of 4"

In a flashback we see William Stryker put a gun to his own head in a church, but his suicide is interrupted by a glowing light coming from the crucifix.

In the present, we see the students of the Institute reacting to M-Day in a variety of ways, from grief or joy to sheer panic. Emma, reeling from the psychic turmoil, calls upon the Three-In-One to help her calm the student body.

Hearing his classmates discussing the loss of their powers, Wither assumes himself to be depowered and reaches out to Wallflower, causing her right arm to shrivel. Emma hears Melody Guthrie planning to jump off the roof to prove that she can still fly and telepathically alerts Beast, who jumps through a window to catch her.

Emma realizes that she can't sense Hydro and calls out to the X-Men, but Logan is already carrying Hydro's body from the pool. From Cerebro, Emma and the Three-In-One put the student body to sleep.

Two days later, Emma sends Dani away and explains to Scott that it will be safer for the depowered mutants, no matter how ingrained, to leave the school. Elixer tries and fails to fix Wallflower's withered hand. Logan calls Laura X to ask her to return to the school for her own safety, and she throws her phone into the Fisherman's Wharf.

Two weeks after M-Day, Jay Guthrie collapses on the front steps of the Institute, covered in blood from where his wings have been cut off.
