After shocking fans with a jaw-dropping ending in the previous episode, X-Men '97 returns this week with episode 5, Weapon X, Lies, and DVDs, which shifts the focus to Wolverine as long-buried secrets from his past resurface.
With familiar faces, dangerous experiments and new challenges ahead, the next chapter promises plenty of action.
What Happened in Episode 4?
Episode 4, Rise of Apocalypse: Part II, finally reveals how En Sabah Nur becomes Apocalypse. As the X-Men remain stranded in ancient Egypt, Professor Chales Xavier and Magneto try to stop him from embracing his dark destiny. However, Nur ultimately accepts his belief that only the strongest deserve to survive, setting him on the path to becoming one of the X-Men's greatest villains.
Meanwhile, Rogue continues to grieve Gambit's death, while Rama-Tut plays a key role in the events unfolding in ancient Egypt. The episode ends with an emotional clash between Xavier and Apocalypse, as Magneto makes a heroic sacrifice to help the X-Men return home. A post-credits scene then teases Wolverine's next adventure.

What To Expect From Episode 5?
Titled Weapon X, Lies, and DVDs, Episode 5 moves away from the Apocalypse storyline and puts Wolverine at the centre of the action. Wolverine and Morph join forces with a few familiar faces from their past to stop the latest experiment created by the Weapon X programme.
The episode is expected to explore Wolverine's mysterious past, bringing old enemies, uneasy alliances and high-stakes action as the mutants face a dangerous new threat.
