Synopsis for "Shedding Skin"

At the Xavier Institute, Gambit receives a video call from his adversary and ex-lover, the immortal mutant Candra. She says she has discovered another world where she can start her life over fresh, and she wants him to join her, but he is uninterested. Outside, Night Man’s duplicate arrives seeking Wolverine’s help as his body deteriorates. When he disables a security alarm, Gambit comes to investigate and attacks him. They fight, and the duplicate says he is dying and losing control. Finally, Gambit knocks him out, takes him to the infirmary, and sedates him. In the Ultraverse, Rhiannon watches them via a scrying pool in her castle on the Isle of Man then switches her attention to the original Night Man in San Francisco. Ashamed of sharing in Rhiannon’s magic and the cannibalistic rituals that fuel it, Night Man confesses all to his father Eddie and ex-girlfriend Gale. He also reveals his body is deteriorating, and only Rhiannon can cure him, but he refuses to live like her. When Eddie recognizes Rhiannon’s name, she magically teleports herself and Night Man to the Marvel Universe. She materializes in front of Gambit in the Xavier Institute infirmary. He tries to flirt with her, but she rebuffs him. Having intended to heal Night Man by merging him with his duplicate, Rhiannon notes the duplicate is still dying. At Candra’s apartment in New Orleans, an amnesiac Night Man finishes taking a shower, and Candra treats his wounds. She takes credit for abducting him and tells him she will make him stronger than ever.
