Longshot enters the X-Men's dimension hoping to escape from Mojo, who once again wants the X-Men to up his ratings.
Story[]
Wolverine is trying to teach Jubilee how to drive when a portal appears, in the car, and Longshot falls through. Before long, another portal opens and Mojo's henchmen appear. Jubilee covers Longshot while he escapes and a brief battle follows which is ended by the appearance of Wolverine. Back on Mojoworld, Spiral tells Mojo that Longshot has escaped and, after having told Mojo to get Longshot himself, Spiral has her life force sucked from her. Major Domo suggests that they use this chance to get Longshot fighting the X-Men on Mojo's channel, an idea Mojo happily approves of.
Back on Earth, Jubilee and Longshot are walking in the woods when they are ambushed by Mojo, disguised as a scarecrow. The rest of the X-Men head out to find her but Longshot and the team can only find her coat. Looking for Jubilee in the woods, a flying ship appears in the sky announcing that the X-Men are now competitors in Mojo's latest show and they have to fight their way through to Jubilee. Mojo sets a bunch of his henchmen and robots onto the heroes but Rogue just smashes her way to Jubilee. After rescuing the X-Man, Longshot, Mojo and the rest of the inter-stellar travellers return to Mojoworld.

Background[]
Writer Stephen Melching released some censorship notes from Broadcast Standards and Practices.[1]
- It will not be acceptable for Mojo to call anyone "numb nuts."
- Also, he should not pick Spiral up by the head.
- Either show that the hunters Rogue buries are robots, or do not bury them past their necks.
- Please substitute for Longshot's two uses of the word "killed." Something like "destroyed" or "take their lives" would be acceptable.
- Please delete or substitute for Spiral calling Longshot "Lover," since we would not want to give their encounter sexual overtones.
- Longshot should not appear "wounded" or bloodied.
- Also, what does "you sure you got guy" mean?
- It will not be acceptable for a wolf to "slash" Wolverine in the back, nor for Wolverine's claws to connect with any of the wolves.
- It will not be acceptable for Jubilee to "blast Jan in the face." Please revise.
- Please substitute for the boulder Rogue hurls at the two hunters, since this would injure them severely.
- Please incapacitate them with something less harmful.
- Please delete or substitute for Rogue’s use of the term "scale butt." Something like "scale face" would be acceptable.
- Caution that Slagg not backhand Wolverine in the face.
- Caution that no one is hurt by the raptors.
- Please show that the bounty hunters are alive after the facade falls on them.
- Please keep the kiss between Longshot and Jubilee brief.
Like "No Mutant Is An Island", this episode was written for season three but did not air until season five.
