Synopsis for "Dazzler"

Scott Summers, Jean Grey, and Kurt Wagner go to a nightclub in New York City. The Hellfire Club spots them on the way in. Elsewhere, Kitty Pryde sneaks into the White Queen's base where the X-Men are held, and kindly recaps the last issue for us. She's spotted, but only after Ororo hands her a phone number to call, and Kitty escapes by phasing. Back in New York, Jean Grey has another Mastermind-driven hallucination starring Jason Wyngarde, ending with a kiss that includes her kissing the man in real life as well. As Dazzler starts the show, Kitty calls Kurt Wagner (who remained outside), but before he can get all the information he is attacked by a Hellfire man in armor. Two more drop into the club to fight Jean and Scott. Dazzler joins the fight on the side of the X-men, and the Hellfire goons are trounced. Mastermind makes his escape from the club.
