Synopsis Beast and Dazzler begin to spend a little more time together, even though Hank strongly disapproves of her training and fighting in an underground mutant arena; Beast shows up before her next performance to once again try and talk her out of participating in such madness but she refuses and they engage in a lovers spat; Beast investigates a lab in the complex and discovers that Flynn and Longride have been giving Dazzler a potion that makes her powers go out of control; Before he can do anything about it, he is caught and injected with a potion himself; In the arena, Dazzler finds herself facing a feral Beast and they wage a brutal battle before a cheering crowd; The pair snap out of it before they kill each other but the audience still wants blood; Flynn accommodates them by killing Longride and taking over the arena.
