Not quite as thrilling as the first episode. This one pretty much just sews up what was started in episode 1 without adding too much.
We do lose Morph - but I had already predicted that based on his name not being in the title sequence. We hadn't had any time to emotionally invest in the character, so his death feels a little manipulative. A way to kill off a non-character to have the illusion of stakes.
The highlight was the conflict between Wolverine & Cyclops and their incompatible philosophies. The Wolverine flashback was a cute idea; a bit weird having a flashback though instead of just showing it chronologically seeing as it's all contained in the same episode.
It's an episode that gets us where we need to be - with Jubilee moving in to the Xavier School. It's functional rather than fantastic.
