Villains:

"In this episode, Xavier's past rears its head with something so surprising that it draws in the X-Men, and puts them in grave danger. Ultimately, it's the professor who must rise up and meet this desperate challenge. We're venturing into some new territory with this one, and I think it came out very well."

CAJUN SPICE
Episode #49 First aired on: October 4, 2003

"This is the episode where Rogue tries to come to terms with what she did to Mystique, as well as her efforts to repair the damage with Kurt," Johnson told The Continuum. "Gambit, having a soft spot for Rogue, thinks he knows just what the girl needs, and spirits her off to New Orleans.

"I think fans will appreciate how Rogue and Gambit's relationship unfolds in this episode. Obviously, it's not a mushy romance, but the tension between them simmers quite well. We also involve enough of Gambit's backstory to give us a taste of what motivates him."

Boyd Kirkland, producer of the X-Men: Evolution animated series, told The Continuum that pre-production on the fourth season is "progressing rapidly."

"We have recorded all nine shows, and are currently storyboarding the two-part finale," Kirkland told The Continuum on Monday from his Film Roman office. "Several of the shows are overseas in animation, and we should be getting footage back the end of July.

"We've got some really interesting stories, with pretty shocking developments for several of our key characters. Guest villains will include Omega Red, as well as more of Apocalypse. One episode focuses on the Brotherhood, and another focuses on Gambit. It's some really exciting stuff!"
