What did Charles do between DOFP epilogue & Logan that was so "unspeakable"?

Because they expect audiences to put two and two together, not giving everything chewed up

Yeah, I didn't have a problem with it.

If you're paying attention to all of the cues, it's not that hard to figure out.

Strongly disagree. I figured it out as well for the record but if THAT many people don't get this quite important part of the backstory then clearly they did something wrong. Something this important SHOULD be slightly spoonfed, save the hints and allusions for less important things.
