Following in the footsteps of almost all of the other Disney+ series, X-Men ’97 isn’t worried about people getting sleep. So, just like the previous five episodes, X-Men ’97 Episode 8 will begin streaming on May 1 at 12:00 AM PT/3:00 AM ET. That won’t leave viewers a lot of time before having to go to bed if they’re on the West Coast or getting up for work if they’re on the East Coast, so it may be better to wait until later in the day to watch it. Just beware of spoilers if you’re planning to go on social media.

How Does X-Men ’97 Episode 7 End?

Still reeling from losing Gambit and Magneto, Rogue is on a warpath to find Bolivar Trask. She crosses paths with some Marvel heavyweights in Thunderbolt Ross and Captain America but comes up mostly empty-handed. Well, Trask reaches out to the X-Men and lures them to Madripoor. The team knows it’s a trap, but everyone is desperate for information. After locating Trask, he reveals what he knows about Sinister creating more powerful Sentinels, but Rogue drops him off a building anyway. However, Trask flies back up, and it’s clear that he’s some form of Sentinel.

Cable shows up and helps the X-Men defeat the threat, revealing his true identity to his father, Cyclops, in the process. The show then reveals that Sinister is working for another villain, Bastion, who is keeping Magneto captive.

And that’s when X-Men ’97 Episode 8 comes out.

X-Men ’97 is streaming now on Disney+.
