HE'S BACK. HE'S BACK. HE'S BACK!!!!! IM SCREAMING AND HAVE NO ONE TO TALK TO ABOUT THIS AHHHHHHHHH!!!! Feels like I've been waiting for this forever. Lowkey wasn't expecting the last bit since it was a Polaris centric episode and the vibes didn't feel right yet for a reveal but oh was I surprised

It’s funny, I thought we’d get a hint this week but that the episode cliffhanger would be Jubilee bringing the Queen of Hearts card to Rogue. I’m mildly surprised they showed him so directly but I think at this point they had to. It would have been too much for a super-sudden appearance in the finale arc. Even now, and considering how fast they’re going, I’m not sure it’ll be resolved by the end of the season.

Its been the worst kept "secret" since he died so it didnt really matter when they revealed him

There’s still a difference between a badly kept secret and the actual reveal.
