After seemingly defeating the villainous Shadow King (Aubrey Plaza), David Haller's (Dan Stevens) peace is disrupted when he's captured by a mysterious organization calling itself the Hellfire Club. Headed by the reclusive Elias Bogan (Keith David), the Club conducts experiments on David that push the limits of his abilities and his sanity, hoping to unlock a power to be used for their own means. Meanwhile, Charles Xavier (John Hawkes), a powerful telepath claiming to be David's birth father, approaches Melanie Bird (Jean Smart) and the rest of David's friends at Summerland with pleads of help in saving him. Oliver Bird (Jemaine Clement), after leaving Summerland, is slowly manipulated by the Shadow King into serving as its next vessel, hoping to exploit his strong psychic abilities to enact its plan. Back at Division 3, Clark (Hamish Linklater) and his team capture mutant fugitive Jason Wyngarde (Jordan Peele) in hopes of using his powers to track down and kill the Shadow King once and for all.
Now rescued from the clutches of the Hellfire Club during Sebastian Shaw's (Rhys Darby) coup, David Haller (Dan Stevens) reunites with his father, Charles Xavier (John Hawkes). With Melanie Bird (Jean Smart) having beaten Division 3 to Oliver (Jemaine Clement), David and Charles travel to Europe in search of Amahl Farouk (Navid Negahban), a wicked mutant and creator of the Shadow King (Aubrey Plaza). While in Europe, Charles' past is revealed to his son, a past which might explain how Farouk's longing for David came to be. Back at home, Jason Wyngarde (Jordan Peele) "convinces" Clark (Hamish Linklater) to send him after David and Charles. However, as opposed to capturing the duo for Division 3, Jason plans on taking them to Farouk as prisoners as opposed to heroes, having been loyal to him from the beginning. Melanie becomes bent on reaching Oliver, who is a prisoner in his own mind at the mercy of the Shadow King. While a noble cause, her Machiavellian approach sparks debate amongst the residents of Summerland as to whether or not she's fit to lead.
