--------
* BigDamnHeroes:
** The X-Men arrive at the cave just as Master Mold orders Xavier prepped for the surgery.
** As the Sentinels almost completely overwhelm the team, Morph arrives to turn the tide.
* BigNo: Master Mold right before blowing up.
* BittersweetEnding: Morph overcomes his fears to save the entire team and destroy Master Mold, but the experience has taught him he's just not ready to be an X-Man again. As Morph leaves to resume his treatments, Xavier notes he'll always be welcome when he is ready to return.
* TheBusCameBack: Morph returns, after being in recovery since the end of Season 2.
* CallBack: Master Mold recalls how [[Recap/XMenS1E13TheFinalDecision Xavier destroyed his body]].
* {{Claustrophobia}}: During the cave fight, Storm gets buried under some rocks, leading to a panic attack. Beast has to dig her out.
* CurbStompBattle: The X-Men get this from the Sentinels in the cave, due to being very outnumbered.
* {{Flashback}}: When Morph sees the giant footprint, he recalls his first encounter with the Sentinels and how it led to being Mr. Sinister's test subject.
* FriendshipMoment: Xavier and Jean arranged for a party to officially welcome Morph back to the mansion. Wolverine also happily welcomes his old buddy back.
* HopeSpot: Wolverine manages to grab onto the Sentinel flying off with Xavier, but then he loses his grip.
* InTheBack: While digging Storm out from under the rocks, Beast takes a Sentinel blast this way.
* {{Irony}}: Master Mold notes it is "high irony" to use Xavier's mutant power to hunt down and eliminate all mutants.
* MadeOfIndestructium: The Sentinels steal a newly developed polymer that Beast says is far stronger than steel. Master Mold intends to use it to construct a new, indestructible body for himself, as well as an assortment of new, more powerful Sentinels.
* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: Morph, after freezing up and doing nothing while the Sentinels abducted Xavier.
* NotQuiteDead: Master Mold's body was destroyed at the end of Season 1, but the head survived and was taken into hiding by the remaining Sentinels.
* OhCrap: Morph, when he learns the Sentinels are back.
* PutOnABus: Morph leaves to go back to Muir Island, reasoning he still has a lot of trauma to work through.
* {{Revenge}}: Master Mold has a practical reason to want Xavier captured, but he makes it clear this is also about the Professor destroying his body at the end of Season 1.
* ScrewTheRulesIMakeThem: When ordered to bring in Trask and Gyrich, the assembled Sentinels say they're only programmed to apprehend mutants, not normal humans. Master Mold immediately reprograms them.
* ShoutOut: With Morph having to face a deeply personal enemy, Beast likens the situation to [[Literature/MobyDick Ahab facing the whale]].
-->'''Beast:''' Let us hope he has better luck.
* SpiderLimbs: Master Mold spends most of the episode as just a head. After Morph shows up and starts destroying Sentinels, Master Mold sprouts spider-like legs and starts attacking him.
* ThisCannotBe: Morph, upon seeing a very familiar, large footprint outside the facility.
* WhatTheHellHero: When Morph has an episode over seeing the Sentinel's footprint, Wolverine snaps him out of it. Morph realizes that Wolverine had already figured out the Sentinels are back, and he chews him out for it.
-->'''Morph:''' You knew.\\
'''Wolverine:''' Yeah.\\
'''Morph:''' ''[grabbing him]'' Don't baby me! Either I'm on the team, or I'm not!
* WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes: With the Sentinels having returned, Morph is forced to confront his greatest fear and the reason why he endured so much trauma. Xavier also notes that Sentinels represent everything that mutants across the planet fear.
* WrittenInAbsence: Gambit and Rogue are away and not expected to be back for another week.
* YouFool: Master Mold mocks Wolverine for continuing to fight it out in the cave.
-->'''Master Mold:''' Foolish mutant! We ''exist'' to destroy you!
* YoureInsane: Master Mold intends to connect himself to Xavier, which would allow the Sentinels to use the Professor's telepathic abilities to hunt down mutants wherever they are.
-->'''Xavier:''' You're mad, Master Mold!\\
'''Master Mold:''' A machine cannot be mad, Professor. That is a human failing.
