When the X-Men were transported to the world of the M’Kraan Crystal, they met Corsair, alias Christopher Summers, Cyclops’ father, who had become a space pirate and leader of the Starjammers. With a mindscan, Phoenix learned of the connection between Corsair and Scott but the space pirate made her and Storm promise not to tell Scott about it. [X-Men (1st series) #108-109]
Back on Earth, the team battled Magneto in his base beneath Antarctica but they became separated when hot lava entered the base through it’s damaged hull. Phoenix and the Beast made their way up to the snowy wastelands, while Scott and the rest of the team escaped through tunnels to the Savage Land. Each group believed the other dead. Cyclops tried to grieve for his lover but surprisingly found he couldn’t.  There weren’t any feelings at all. Scott wondered if Jean’s change to Phoenix had somehow ended his love for her or whether he truly ever loved her, as her death didn’t affect him in any way. [X-Men (1st series) #113-114]
It took the X-Men weeks to return to civilization, as they first traveled aboard a freighter to Japan, where they ended up helping in a local crisis. There, Scott met Colleen Wing, who, with her partner Misty Knight, was in Japan too. There was an immediate attraction between Scott and Colleen and they spent a lot of time  together. She accompanied the X-Men when the returned to the United States and she and Scott went out on several dates – she even gave him the keys to her apartment. Unfortunately, this relationship also led to her being captured by Arcade and used as a hostage against the team. [X-Men (1st series) #118-119, 122]
 As Xavier had departed to space with his love Lilandra, the Beast checked out the mansion occasionally. There, he ran into the X-Men and they now knew that the others were alive and well. Hank told them that Jean had gone to Muir Island and the X-Men immediately rushed there. Upon arrival, they found the island under attack by a villain named Proteus and Jean lying unconscious in the hallway. As she woke up, she addressed Scott as Jason, a handsome man she kept seeing in visions of living in the 18th century. [X-Men (1st series) #125-126]
 Having defeated their opponent, Scott and Jean made up with each other during the flight back to New York. He explained that after her apparent death he did not allow himself to feel anything at all, fearing that he would go insane over his loss.
Cyclops also confessed about having dated Colleen Wing a few times but Phoenix answered that she already knew, as the images were so strong in the other X-Men’s minds. Yet she had no ill feelings, as she would want him to be with someone else once she was gone. [X-Men (1st series) #129]
Unfortunately, Jean was not as open, as she kept her timeshift visions secret until it was too late. Completely under Mastermind’s control she became the Hellfire Club’s Black Queen. However, when the illusionist killed Cyclops on the astral plane,  she snapped out of it. Still, the damage was done and Phoenix no longer was able to resist her inner darkness. She transformed into Dark Phoenix and soared through the universe, where she devoured an entire star and the five billion inhabitants of one of its planets. When she returned to Earth, she threatened to kill anyone but Cyclops still tried to reach out to her.
Battling with Professor Xavier, the Jean aspects were able to keep Phoenix under control and she willed herself back to being just Marvel Girl. Scott, who had been watching the entire scenario, realized how much he loved the woman and proposed to her; Jean happily accepted. But happiness was not to last.
The Shi’ar had witnessed Dark Phoenix consuming the star and the X-Men were forced to battle with the Imperial Guard over Jean’s fate. One by one, they were taken out of the fight. In the end, only Jean remained and this triggered her transformation into Phoenix once more. She understood that she would never be able to fully control the dark hunger inside and, for the sake of the universe, she sacrificed herself on the lunar surface. [X-Men (1st series) #132-137]
The X-Men held a funeral in remembrance of their beloved teammate, unsuspecting that, all the time, the real Jean was lying in a cocoon at the bottom of Jamaica Bay. [X-Men (1st series) #138]
