Starting with this episode, we see three consecutive episodes about telepaths, then have a break from the telepath storyline, followed by a fourth episode that essentially culminates the main storyline of the human teeps. In this episode, we watch Byron and his crew make a final attempt to gain a homeworld of their own. It’s done badly as we learn he significantly lacks the ability of diplomatic or strategic thinking. He also loses control of some of his people, which results in violence for a second time. Desperate and out of options, Bryon’s followers secretly scan many of the Alliance leaders, threatening to divulge their secrets. The stage is set as Byron appears to be preparing himself to become a martyr.

Meanwhile Londo Mollari, visiting Centauri Prime, questions the suspicious activities of the Centauri fleet and is almost killed by an assassin. He’s separated from his body guard (G’Kar) but is saved by an unknown (or unrecognized) entity. In what is perhaps one of the most heartbreaking moments in the entire series, Londo has a brief and tragic conversation with the Regent who explains a few things to him. As this happens, we realize who interfered with the assassin and we get a foreshadowing of what Londo’s future will hold. As the episode ends, Londo tells G’Kar he’s returning to B5 because his home world “frightens him.”
