There have been a lot of late 80s cues. The X-Men roster slowly dwindling down is basically the whole Dissolution and Rebirth arc that was kind of Claremont's endgame. Storm/Forge/The Adversary is of course Fall of the Mutants... so maybe all of these are converging with EoE and the cliffhanger will be Forge casting his spell with all the X-Men to stop the season's big bad. That big bad hasn't been determined yet, with possibilities being The Adversary, Sinister, Mastermold, Bastion....
The cliffhanger could also be their resurrection and a new beginning. Outback time!!! LOL
