Can anyone give me a quick rundown of what happens in this issue,the final part of Riot at Xaviers? I haven't got it and I'm desperate to continue reading! If you help soon I can read 5 issues of New X-Men tonight along with 1351 and the Meg.ahhh...
Okay, from memory, with obvious spoilers....

Oh, you know the rest
There's lots of mayhem, with Quire and his pals chucking burning oil all over the place.
There's a nice scene with Tattoo putting her ghostly hand into Cyclops' head, and threatening to solidify. Emma Frost simply places her hand inside Tattoo's head and points out it wouldn't be health for her to do so.
Anyway, the Stepford Cuckoos aren't at all happy with their open day being spoiled, so they resolve to take action.
One (I forget her name, but it's the one Quentin fancies) takes the mutation enhancing drug and climbs into Cerebra.
The resulting psi power allows her to defeat Quentin, but in the process she dies.
The final page sees Emma Frost carrying the girl's body out of the building, with Quentin looking distraught.
As a side issue, the other X-Men are merrily collaring the other Omegas, including a gorgeous car chase scene in which Frank Quitely excels.
The effect of the fast-moving scene done in comic panels is almost a slo-mo thing, with Xorn jumping out of the car and running alongside to douse Herman, the burning human oil-based jelly thing, before he hits a petrol station.
Satch, this comic is really gorgeous, especially after months of sub-standard fill-in artists. You have to track it down, mate.
Hope that was helpful. I'm sure others can fill in any blanks if I've missed stuff or - and this is entirely possible - described the wrong issue in various places.

cheers Trout, thats good enough for me. I'm off to read Murder at The Mansion now, which looks great.
