With the Shadow War escalating, Babylon 5 teeters on the precipice of destruction. Sheridan gambles everything on a risky telepathic assault against the enemy, but securing the necessary support proves a battle in itself. Will the Narn, once desperate for aid, abandon him now?

As Sheridan pushes for a daring strategy that could turn the tide against the Shadows, he faces resistance and reluctance from key allies. Meanwhile, Dr. Franklin embarks on a personal journey of self-discovery, a "walkabout" through the station's underbelly, hoping to break free from his self-imposed burdens. He encounters a beautiful jazz singer who he quickly connects with but his old habits die hard. And as a new Vorlon ambassador arrives to fill the void left by Kosh, the fragile alliance of light faces an unsettling change, potentially unraveling their carefully laid plans. Can Sheridan rally the forces he needs, will Franklin find peace, and can the conspiracy of light adapt to a new, enigmatic presence before it's too late?
