Last spoiler warning I'm giving!
I've got a question about New X-men #141, Murder at the Mansion 3 of 3. When Bishop and Sage confront Esme about Emma Frost's murder Sage says that Esme tried to takeover the group mind of the Stepford Cuckoos. Sage then says Sophie resisted the takeover bid and Esme steered her to her death.
What exactly was Esme trying to do? Was she trying to gain total control over all of their bodies and minds? If Esme was powerful enough to steer Sophie to her death, why couldn't she overcome Soph's resistance to the takeover bid?
Also, Bishop mentions that there is someone "bigger" that Esme's meeting. Who do you guys think that is?
