Good to see that Kate is looking for Scott and Emma is worried about him, I thought he was presumed dead. His focus issue is the next one I think, will Duggan finally make him competent again?
The whole Emma/Stark thing makes no sense to me romantically, glad to see that the whole thing is just a big joke for now.
Another good issue, but not as great as the last couple of books Duggan wrote. On the one hand I appreciate the quick pace but the Angelica/Kate showdown felt very anticlimactic to me - I think it could have used a bit more breathing room and another couple of issues to build up the suspense.
And I was really into Emma and Tony getting married to further their goals but not by accident like this, straight out of the worst comedic moment. I hope there's some more meat to that story than a simple gag frankly.
A couple of issue more to build suspense takes us to November when most of the other books would have progressed further along in this FoX storyline. It makes no sense to drag out the inevitable...Kate realising that Angelica is undercover...for three issues. Does it feel a bit rushed? Yes, but...Everybody is on the clock. Mutant survival is on the clock.

So maybe I haven't read enough Jean...what exactly about "Jean planting false memories to make Firestar seem like a traitor but not telling anyone" is such a Jean move that Kitty immediately accepts it and believes it? Seems like an easy thing for a traitor to make up.
I'm hoping we get to see Firestar do some serious damage to Orchis from within. Right now she's gathering intel and I hope that pays off nicely for the resistance.

So Shaw and Selene were on the council, have all kind of financial and political power...and Kitty targets Firestar, who has none of those and would be a damn martyr if she were to be killed.
How did Kitty become so dumb?
I started mentally transcribing the narration into present tense so everything sounds a bit more urgent. Not a really feeling the “Once Upon A Time” style of storytelling.
