The episode opens in a small house as a young boy who looks to be about 16 walks down a dark hallway and into the living room where he finds himself home alone. He looks around for a bit but then takes out his phone and calls him mother who tells him they left and weren't coming back. The boy asks why but she hangs up and the boy sits on the couch and just cries. We cut to X-Mansion where Professor Charles Xavier and his best friend Eric Lensherr are walking up the stairs and over to Xavier's office to discuss Charles's idea to make a school for mutants who don't have anyone. Eric asks Charles if he really thinks this is smart considering the world hates mutants and would probably shut this down immediately. Charles tells Eric that the world doesn't have to know and they can do it in secret until the world changes their view. Charles goes downstairs and talks with Hank Mccoy a scientist whose mutant ability was unlocked at the age of 22 which gave him incredible strength and now at the age of 36 is helping Charles Xavier start his school. Hank tells Charles that him and Raven Darkholme another friend of Charles found a boy whose family abandoned him because of his abilities. Charles goes up to the boy who tells him his name is Bobby Drake. Charles looks at the boy and starts to see something familiar. The episode ends as Charles takes Bobby to meet the other students Scott Summers, Warren Worthington III, and Jean Grey.
