Happy X-Men 97 Eve. I believe we're getting part 2 of LifeDeath, Storm's storyline, so I don't think we'll get the aftermath of the attack on Genosha in this episode, but I could be wrong. Let's wait and see.

Happy Tuesday, X-Men fans.
Let’s all remember Lenore Zann’s twitter profile picture and pray to Cable for some time travel shenanigans to save Gambit.

That's how they save Gambit. // The Watcher was in the sky. That implies that the massacre is a fixed event. Gambit unfortunately will stay dead. The writer confirmed as much when he said that the characters will have to deal with the deaths in Genosha. The deaths will stick.
It implies that a fixed event was happening, not that the massacre itself was fixed.
There are literally shots in the trailer of Magneto putting the red suit and helmet back on that we haven't seen in the show yet. And Madelyne "died" without even wrapping up the psychic affair story. Do you honestly think we're not going to see these people again? The story is about time travel for crying out loud. Bishop even said that time is constantly changing and rewriting itself; the writers didn't put that line in there for no reason.
I'm not saying all the deaths will be undone; some of them won't be, I'm sure. But you don't establish that Cable's whole purpose this season is about stopping the attack and then have him NOT change anything.
Personally, I believe that if there's a major death that sticks at the end of this, it's going to be Madelyne because, in a story where Cable plays a pivotal role, she makes the most sense AND it would resolve the Scott/Jean drama.
Think of it this way...
What if it wasn't the attack that was the fixed event, but Madelyne's death? The scene with Cable indicated that he's tried and failed several times to prevent the attack, but why? Maybe because he's been focusing on saving his mother. We know he's fixated on her because she's the one he tried to warn at the gala and also he had that scene with her on the psychic plane in ep1 as well.
But if her death is the 'fixed' part, that would explain why he keeps failing. Maybe there's no way to stop the attack AND save Madelyne because the key to stopping it is something she does, but at the cost of her life. Maybe it is possible to prevent or at least change the attack, but there's no way to do it without Madelyne dying, so Cable's forced to choose between saving his mother and saving everyone else, and the reason he keeps failing is because he wasn't willing to make that choice.
Maybe this is just me in wild speculation mode, but I could see Madelyne sacrificing herself to save all the others. We'd see her again first to tie up the story with Scott/Jean, but I absolutely think Madelyne's role in this is going to be crucial. They've dropped too many hints for me to think otherwise.
Gambit and Magneto, though? They're coming back.

Lines that will cause Marvel Fans to take psychic damage: "Did you know Cables Robot Arm and Ultron were cousins?"
If they've only seen the movies, maybe. For a comic reader that doesn't even rank in the top ten weirdest things that have happened to Cable in particular, much less overall.
