Summary

At school, Taryn tries to get Scott to show her his eyes. He "fights" her off and she finally gives up and says gotta go.  Meanwhile Jean has been spying on them the whole time.  Scott catches her and asks how long she's been there. She blurts out something about not spying on him, which makes Scott realize she was. He laughs and says something about her being jealous. This really sets Jean off and she tells him he's got a lot of nerves and stomps off.

Kitty crashes three computers in computer class. Risty and "Arcade" Webber are playing games on another computer when the teacher stops them. After class, Risty asks Kitty if she knows of any parties coming up. Kitty says no luck and Risty mentions wishing she knew somebody whose parents were away.

Back at Bayville, Jean meets Scott at the overlook. As they sit on the hood of the car talking, Kitty and Kurt teleport in. Kitty steals Jean's cellphone, while Kurt grabs Scott's car keys . Scott says that Kurt said she wanted to talk to him, Jean says that's what Kitty told me. Scott accuses her of setting up the whole thing because she's jealous of Taryn. She gets mad and tells him to take her home. When he realizes the keys are missing she says typical and accuses him of setting it up.

At the Institute, the party is in full swing. Webber and Risty wander off and eventually find the elevator to the sub-floors. Webber hacks the security and manages to get into Cerebro. Webber hacks into Cerebro's files and finds info on the New Mutants. Risty asks if he can download the files for her, for her computer class. She takes the disc and leaves. Webber finds the Danger Room programs.

Jean and Scott manage to get a lift with a trucker and are headed back to the Institute. Meanwhile Rogue realizes that someone has activated the Danger Room. Kurt teleports in to shut it down. When he doesn't come out or open the doors, Kitty phases in and sees him down. She phases Evan and Rogue into the Danger Room. Arcade thinks that it's just a computer game he's playing and turns the DR loose on them.

Jean and Scott get the to Institute and realize that they were suckered so the kids could throw a party. Risty is wandering around inside lost. She's cornered by one of the defense systems and is knocked unconscious when it fires on her and slams her into a wall. When she falls to the ground she morphs into Mystique. Webber finds the X-Kids running through the halls and sets more devices on them. They get away and meet up with Jean and Scott. Together they finally realize what's going on and who's responsible. Webber tries one more time to take them all out by electrocuting them, but they all get out and Kurt teleports Rogue behind Webber where she's able to knock him out.

Party guests leave and Evan, Kurt, and Kitty complain about missing the party and now having to clean up after it. Webber comes to and apologizes, he still thinks it was all just a computer game. Xavier shows up and tells Webber that there is a taxi waiting to take him home. Scott tries to apologize to Xavier and take the blame for everything but Xavier tells him that there is plenty of blame to go around.

Mystique is perched on top of the gate looking towards the Institute. She jumps down and morphs back into Risty. She looks at the disc Webber burnt for her and smiles as she walks away.
