This moment is so impactful and on track for Jean because of her decades long history of looking out for and trying to save Madelyne. #XSpoilers

After being deceived by Scott, Hank, Bobby, and Warren for months following her return from stasis, and finding out Scott had a wife and child who he’d abandoned for her, Jean admonished him and urged him to go back to them. #XSpoilers

Later, she sacrificed her soul to Mephisto to save Madelyne and Nate, to relieve Scott of his guilt and so that he could be with his family. Mephisto referred to Jean’s soul as “rare and wondrous” and released her. #XSpoilers

Even after going through a period when she criticized Madelyne harshly for letting Scott think she and Nathan were dead—Jean didn’t know the whole story—she tried convincing Madelyne to let her and the X-Men help her and was deeply distraught by her death. #XSpoilers

Years later, after Nate Grey accidentally gave form to Madelyne’s psionic ghost, and she tried killing him and Jean, Jean stopped Nate from destroying Madelyne and tried reaching out to her. #XSpoilers

Their reconciliation has been a long time coming and intercepted by heartache, but thankfully, they finally made it. 🥹 #XSpoilers
