Synopsis

Wolverine and Rogue go after the Silver Samurai and Viper. Wolverine comes close to killing the Samurai but Mariko steps in and saves her half-brother. Viper tries to blast them but Rogue gets in the way and saves their lives. With Rogue quickly dying, Wolverine touches her skin so she can absorb his healing factor. Storm adopts her punk look which freaks Kitty out. During the wedding ceremony, Mariko calls it off as she has deemed Logan unworthy.
