X-Factor #40: Nanny

They've just had Madelyne Pryor's second funeral in X-Factor #40. We get a touching scene of life and rebirth and suchforth. And then we get this:

"You know, since his mother was a genetic duplicate of our daughter, he really is our grandchild"

- actual dialogue from this comic

Jean's parents are concerned about Sara's children, of course (they don't know that they prioritised rescuing baby Christopher over them). Post-Inferno there are other children to distribute back to their parents (you'd think this would come before the funeral, but eh). Jean and Christopher's relationship is confusing, but she has memories from Phoenix and the Madelyne now, and feels some level of maternal responsibility towards him.

Nanny and Orphan-Maker attack! Nanny is given a nonsensical origin story which makes her a mutant turned into a cyborg by The Right. X-Factor best them in combat, find Joey and Galen hidden in a wall cavity, and bring them back home to their grandparents. Aww, isn't that nice? And to tie it off with a bow, Rusty gets a stay!

Hang on, did we get an issue of X-Men where a bunch of happy things happened? That can't be right...
