Cable and Hope are fleeing through deep space in a giant ship when Bishop catches up with them in a ship of his own. Bishop has tricked Hope's friend, Emil, into believing that he is her protector and Cable is her abductor in the hopes that Emil will allow him to get close to Hope so he can blow them all up. Once Hope sets Emil straight, the pair try to evade Bishop with Cable trying to catch up to the action. And then the Brood arrive.
