...that she couldn't save her mother, and while she may not recognize that yet, she refuses to be prevented from saving someone else she loves.
Successfully reducing her force field for the first time, Sally lashes out at Masque, forcing Rusty's restoration, but not Emma's...
...in a cruel twist of dramatic-irony-laden fate from protecting those she's loved.
Like Rusty, Sally's powers come with their own "original sin", but whereas the boy's "atonement" comes in seeking punishment, Sally's comes from her attempts to make amends.
It isn't her fault..
...why Rusty has chosen to stay behind.
Even as her intervention leads Masque to restore Emma's scars, Rusty insists that this is an atonement for his sins just as her initial scarring was for her.
While Sally's abilities have always protected her, they've also prevented her...
In exchange for her transformation, Rusty has offered himself as tribute, in essense, transferring the burden of Emma's "punishment" onto himself.
It isn't a punishment Rusty deserves, and Sally, operating with her own traumatic origin at the forefront of her mind, recognizes...
...around her, Rusty's ability is destructive at its core, a fact he's reminded of not only by flaming-on during his brief intimacy with Sally but by the transfer of the woman he burned to a NY hospital.
Artie, oh sweet Artie, puts the elder ward's trauma on full blast, and...
...the Tunnels, where she intends to return to life among the Morlocks.
Sally's flashbacks help inform our understanding of her actions, but Rusty is afforded no such insight and can't understand why she'd want to return to the "dangerous" tunnels.
Rusty's growing affection...
...reaction, and the girl runs off with Rusty in tow.
Jean and Scott reflect on what it means to now beach the teachers, each hoping these kids end up better than they themselves did.
I've written about X-Factor as a story of arrested development, but it's also a story of...
...where a training session between Rusty and Sally has resulted in the accidental snapping of the latter's necklace, triggering a memory of hers and her mother's experience of violence at her father's hands.
Jean's approach (blame her absent telepathy) only worsens Sally's...
It's been a pretty eventful week. Finally sorted out some serious irl stuff and am now back to drawing, feeling a lil rusty though so please wait warmly as I get back into the groove.

"A lot of objects on the Rusty Bucket can disguise themselves,
even a harmless floatation ring isn't safe, so watch yourselves.
One whack will send them flying, just like a balloon,
this crazy floatie just digs this world's tune!"
borrowing a random book is a creative excuse to bug the volunteer librarian, except when the book is krusty's ABC's
