Growing Pains:
• The first episode of the next season. Scott is forced to use his powers to save a school bus of children. He gets upset that he cannot use his powers and thinks somewhat that the world should know about mutants. The Brotherhood thinks they should know too, so during a soccer game they reveal themselves. Using their powers, they destroy the soccer filed. The X-Men help get ride of the Brotherhood, and luckily the Professor brain washes everybody's minds so that they do not remember anything. Also seen in this episode is the new mutants. Rogue is shown during the beginning making a new friend named Risty(who really is Mystique), and she even takes Blob's powers when they try to stop the Brotherhood.

Power Surge:
• Jean's powers evolve, but they are too much for her to control. She tries to deal with them, but eventually they get the best of her. The X-Men try to help her before she tears down the whole Institute. Rogue offers to help her by taking her powers so that she can concentrate and control her powers. It works, and Jean is saved. At the end Scott asks Rogue why she helped Jean, and Rogue replies, "You'd do the same thing for me." Scott tells her that we all would.

Badda Bing Badda Boom:
• Tabitha Smith, a.k.a. Boom Boom, stars along with Kurt/Nightcrawler. After Boom Boom messes up her training session, in which she also gets Kurt in trouble, the both of them get grounded and cannot go to the school fair. However, that's the least of her problems when Tabitha's no good of a father shows up wanting to use her, and her powers, to steal money from the school. Tabitha wants her father to stay away from her, so she does what her father asks. The X-Men get involved once they discover that Tabitha was helping her father. After everything, Tabitha's father gets arrested. She gets upset by what has happened, and tells the Professor that it isn't a good fit being with the X-Men, and leaves to join the Brotherhood.

Fun N Games:
• The Professor is called away after some malfunctions that happened where Juggernaut is held. While he goes away, he leaves Scott and Jean in charge. The other X-Men decide to have a party, and drag Scott and Jean away so that they can have one. However, a surprise guest comes and messes with Cerebro and activates the Danger Room. Rogue, Shadowcat, Spyke, and Nightcrawler try to turn off the Danger Room before the party guests find out. However, Defcon 4 is activated and the whole Institute goes under some security thing. Scott and Jean arrive to find this out. They enter the Institute the hard way, and eventually stop the kid who messed with Cerebro. When the Professor arrives back he tells them that there is plenty of blame to go around because of our "mystery guest" who turned out to be Mystique(Risty) wanting to get Cerebro's files for someone, and caused the whole Professor to leave, etc.

Beast of Bayville:
• Hank McCoy is introduced as Beast. As Hank tries to control his mutation, he goes haywire and the X-Men try to help stop the damage that Hank is causing throughout the city. Rogue is shown throughout the episode with Storm and Kurt as the three try to help Mr. McCoy. At the beginning, Rogue is training in the Danger Room with the rest of the X-Men, but she gets hit because Spyke didn't show up in time to cover Rogue's back. All is well again when Hank regains control(thanks to Spyke) and joins the X-Men.

Adrift:
• Scott and his brother Alex go on a vacation to surf. However, things do not go well when an unexpected storm hits the seas. Scott and Alex get shipwrecked, and must use their brains and there powers to stay alive. When the Professor finds out, he, Ororo, and Jean take off to rescue them. Storm holds off a twister at one point which was really cool, and Jean raised them out of the water, and into the jet. Aside from the main plot, we also see some of the new mutants playing in the snow with Beast.

On Angel's Wings:
• Rogue actually stars in this Christmas theme episode along side with Scott. Warren Worthington/Angel is introduced. He goes around saving people's lives and fighting crime. The Professor sends Rogue and Scott to find him to try and recruit him. However, someone else has plans for Warren. That man is Magneto. This is the first time we see him in the second season. Rogue and Scott finally find Angel, at a church. All three try to fight against Magneto, and Rogue takes Magneto's powers. She chases after him, and is almost killed when Magneto throws her against a huge building that explodes. However, Angel is there to save the day and all is well again, but Angel does not join the X-Men (not yet at least ^_^).

African Storm:
• This episode actually focuses on Ororo a.k.a. Storm. Ororo is being hunted down by her old African tribe. The leader tries to control Storm so that he can use her powers. At times Ororo is shown in small places(note she has claustrophobia)and panics. The X-Men try to save her, and at one point Rogue makes a cool swing around a poll and kicks one African dude's butt. Also, Risty(who is really Mystique) almost blows her cover when she said Ororo had claustrophobia, but Rogue never told her that. Evan(Storm's nephew) helps to break the stone that is controlling Storm and she uses her powers to get ride of the evil African tribe.

Joyride:
• In this episode, we get to see some show time for the new recruits. Bobby/Iceman, Jubilee, and Samuel/Cannonball all take joyride's in each of the X-vehicles. They even take the X-Jet, but luckily Kitty and Lance are there to save their butts. We see romance between Kitty and Lance. Lance even joined the X-Men, but left at the end. When the new recruits are training, we see Rogue being a "victim". Lance was suppose to save her, but saved Kitty instead. Rogue wasn't happy and pushed him and Kitty back into the water. In the end, Iceman, Jubilee, and Cannonball all get punished for their actions.

Walk on the Wild Side:
• Jean, Rogue, Kitty, Tabitha, and Amara all form a group of female crime fighters known as the Bayville Sirens. It all starts when Tabitha and Amara stop a thief from stealing a car. Later, Jean, Rogue and Kitty join in. It goes pretty good for a while until the girls finally get to the ring leader who steals the cars. They find out that they steal cars for their car parts. The Sirens attack the thieves, and win. Scott and Kurt help out by blasting a car out of the way before it explodes, but the girls don't know that. Rogue has a few parts in this episode. She knocks out a couple of guys, and complains about dressing near a toll booth guy. Mystique(in disguise) gets the girls to stop being the Bayville Sirens. In the end, Jean talks to Scott about how it felt great to use their powers to help people, and hopes someday they will be able to. The great thing about this episode is that it has its own little music video which is pretty cool to see.

Operation Rebirth:
• In this episode a secret military weapon known as Rebirth has been stolen. It's up to Logan to track it down. We get to see some of Logan's past which goes back to World War II. Captain America makes an appearance as does S.H.I.E.L.D . Eventually we find out that Logan was in the army with Captain America and even saved Magneto from the prison camps when he was younger. We also find out that Magneto has the Rebirth, and Rogue and Kurt go with Logan to destroy it. What they find out is that Magneto needed it to live. At the end, Magneto has Logan, Rogue, and Kurt in his hands, and decides to let them live because he said this: "However, you spared my life, so I'll spare yours. There's a small boy in Poland who owes you that much." At the end, Logan goes to visit a dying friend.

Mindbender:
• At the beginning Jean disappears. They discover that Jean stole an artifact, and they try to get her back. One night she comes back for Kurt. Both seem to be hypnotized zombies. They go to the Bayville bank and steal another artifact thing. Scott and Logan try to go after them, but fail. Then Jean somehow makes Kitty and Evan turn in to mindless zombies. The four go to a museum and steal the last artifact. The rest of the X-Men, which consists of Rogue, Scott, Beast, and Wolverine, all go to the Circus to try and meet Jean, Kurt, Kitty, and Evan so that they can help them out. Wolverine makes interesting comments about not wanting to hurt Kitty, but she kicks Logan in the knees. Rogue drains Jean's powers, but before Rogue does, Jean throws a little bag containing the three artifacts to a mysterious person known as Mesmero. The Professor tries to get a hold of Mesmero's mind, but fails. At the end, Jean, Kitty, Kurt, and Evan are back as themselves. Rogue helps the Professor, and uses Jean's powers to cut a tent(where Mesmero was) in half, but discovers that Mesmero left. We find out that Mesmero was trying to open one of three gates for... you guessed it, Apocalypse.

Shadowdance:
• In this one, the X-Men find out more about Kurt's teleportation powers, thanks to Forge. It seems Kurt passes through another dimension when he teleports. At first Kurt liked seeing the dimension, but when Logan goes with Kurt on the second time around, strange dinosaur-like creatures attack him. Kurt gets afraid and quits the experiment. However, it's not all over yet. It seems the portal between the dimension and Earth did not close, which allows the creatures to come through, and terrorize the place. This happens while the X-Men are at a school dance. They use their powers to try and stop the creatures, and Forge helps get the creatures back where they belong. Rogue is shown in another cool outfit in this episode, and tries to fight off one of the creatures, but Risty/Mystique chases him away with a fire extinguisher. Rogue is also shown in this episode being jealous at Scott because she couldn't ask him to the dance, and because of her powers, which is cute in some ways.

Retreat:
• Hank McCoy has some trouble dealing with his appearance, so he takes some of the students out in to the wilderness for some peace and quiet. They discover that they are not the only ones out there. Hunters who mistake Beast for Big Foot capture him. Kitty, Evan, Bobby, Rahne, and Roberto, all chip in and help save Beast, and the others before a huge river floods them all. Then the mutants scare off the hunters and return home safely. At the end, Beast tells them that, "We are who we're meant to be."

HeX Factor:
• Wanda Maximoff a.k.a. the Scarlet Witch first appears in this episode. Thanks to Mystique(who finally comes back to the brotherhood) Wanda is now free from the institution, and causes heck everywhere. Mystique uses Wanda to defeat the X-Men in a battle at the Mall. Rogue is shown fighting, and at one point takes Toad's powers and uses it to help Scott. In the end, the Brotherhood wins, but Wanda is not happy. She wants revenge on the one person who caused all of her anger... her father... Magneto.
