Bright Eyes

Bright Eyes is an ironic title. The X-Men are dealing with grief after the Genosha genocide and the loss of Gambit.

Cyclops discovering the the loss the X-Men have suffered are not on par with human losses to the President. There are not enough votes on it.

Gambit's funeral has one key person missing. Rogue has revenge on her mind as she goes looking for Henry Gyrich and Bolivar Trask. She breaks into a holding facility that is supposed to be kept secure by Thunderbolt Ross.

Later Captain America comes to see her, all unable to be completely of help. Rogue flings the Captain's shield away.

The X-Men do confront Trask but find there are more questions than answers.

The purpose of this episode is to lead to the three part finale. There are a lot of cameos, the appearance of Captain America hints to an expanded Marvel universe with the Avengers.
