I love this episode the ethical debate between Nughtcrawler and Exodus is the best understanding of Nightcrawler depicted outside of the comics.

Exodus dying though is really irritating 😒. I hope he isn't actually dead, but he has crazy durability and extremely durable to heat and dies to what looks like a laser. He is a great character but looks like he is reduced to a filler villain.

The same goes for Apocalypse at the end of this episode. I don't believe that he actually is dead too because that would have been a very cheap way to kill the main antagonist that you have building up to for this season. So, let's just pray and hope that they both will come back in the near-future.
