I'm not entirely sure why Scott appears in this issue, other than Hopeless' need to distract Cable so that he can't help Domino and Boom-Boom as the mission start to go off the rails. I also can't remember how he learned where Cable et al. were last issue, but the fact that he found them makes you wonder how good of a job Cable's doing cover their tracks. Moreover, he's apparently there to help, but doesn't really do much of anything, allowing Cable to go by himself after the insane alien who's taken Domino and Boom-Boom hostage. Again, it's an odd appearance.
Moreover, with the alien off the planet, the main drama driving this arc appears to have passed, now that the alien is off Earth. Cable just has to round up his team and they can move onto the next crisis. It's hard to be too excited about the oncoming slugfest, since we all pretty much know how it's going to go down.
The best part of the issue is Hopeless' focus on Colossus and Domino's "relationship." Hopeless appears to be using Domino as a way to redeem Pete, which could work so long as she doesn't become some love-lorn schoolgirl. It's definitely better than Nemesis' awful banter with Forge.
