The Magneto segment comes from Lorna, who finally gets a whole episode towrestle with her fathers legacy.
That name is still not used, but this episode all but confirms it.
Most episodes this season have opened with a flashback that gives context to specific characters actions.

This one, by contrast, is littered with flashbacks from across Lornas life.
Some of them show her and Marcos in bed in happier days, discussing their absent fathers.
Others actually show us teen punk Lorna, wrestling with that absence in real time.
We see how conflicted her emotions are about her dad.
It even comes with a note addressed to Lorna, my North Star.
Clearly, Lorna has complex emotions about it.
The Inner Circle is reeling in the wake ofRebeccas massacre at Creed Financial.
Even with her gone, though, things are heating up.
Angry humans have broken out into vengeful riots that have resulted in several deaths.
Lorna takes Dawn to Marcos apartment so he can say goodbye to his daughter.
In fact, she ultimately makes exactly the same choice as he did.
She takes Marcos advice to a point and decides not to ship Dawn off to Switzerland.
Hopefully, Dawn gets to grow up with a little more love in her life.
NEXT: What is Regimen?
They go to find a doctor who worked with Reeds father, Dr. Madeline Risman.
She recognizes Reed immediately, and at first, seems like the solution to the Strucker familys prayers.
She showcases her patients and the various ways in which shes helping them control their powers.
Not all mutants, after all, are lucky enough to have super-strength or sun powers.
They want to help people learn to live with each other and themselves.
Medical procedures like this are a cool manifestation of that goal.
Alas, it is indeed too good to be true.
Why would Dr. Risman be interested in such a thing?
Well, it turns out her brother helped found the Purifiers!
Shortly after she leaves them behind, Rebecca is caught by the invisible bartender who works for Reeva now.
Finally, Lorna completes her apotheosis into Magnetos daughter.
She really looks like Polaris now, ready to take up her fathers mantle.
