01      THE GATHERING
        written by J. Michael Straczynski
        directed by Richard Compton
        music by Stewart Copeland
  Story:  In the Tigris Sector in the year 2257, the gigantic space station
    Babylon 5 has entered service and is preparing for its first major official
    duty, hosting the ambassadors of the Minbari, Vorlon, Centauri and Narn
    governments who will, along with station Commander Sinclair, the Earth
    representative, begin down the uneasy path toward interstellar peace.  The
    station's first officer Takashima and security chief Garibaldi are both
    officers with career records that are, in places, less than exemplary,
    giving the impression that the Earth Alliance isn't going to send the cream
    of its crop to Babylon 5 - especially not since Babylons 1, 2 and 3 were
    sabotaged and destroyed, and the fourth station in the line vanished without
    a trace within a day of becoming operational.  There are also questions
    about the alien representatives: Centauri Ambassador Londo Mollari spends a
    good deal of his time in the diplomatic pursuit of drinks and winnings in
    the station's casino; Minbari Ambassador Delenn, whose people once waged a
    vicious war with Earth and suddenly stopped all attacks just moments before
    wiping out the human race, is secretive and speaks in riddles.  Ambassador
    G'Kar of the Narn Regime is ill-tempered and makes no secret of the fact
    that he seeks power and prestige for his own people and himself, no matter
    what the cost to other individuals or governments.  And last, but not least,
    Vorlon Ambassador Kosh Naranek, who, when he arrives, will be the first
    Vorlon ever encountered by any of the above species, travels incommunicado.
    This proves to be a problem when Kosh, in a life-sustaining encounter suit,
    is found unconscious moments after his ship docks at Babylon 5.  The crew
    swings into action and discovers foul play, which infuriates the Vorlon
    Empire.  Matters are made no less critical when it is discovered that the
    culprit is at large on Babylon 5, and Commander Sinclair is framed for the
    attack on Kosh.  His crew must fight to uncover the truth to prevent the
    Vorlons from extraditing Sinclair - or to prevent them from simply declaring
    all-out war on the Earth Alliance...
  Cast:  Michael O' Hare (Commander Jeffrey Sinclair), Tamlyn Tomita (Lt.
    Commander Laurel Takashima), Jerry Doyle (Michael Garibaldi), Mira Furlan
    (Ambassador Delenn), Blaire Baron (Carolyn Sykes), John Fleck (Del Varner),
    Paul Hampton (The Senator), Peter Jurasik (Ambassador Londo Mollari),

    (Businessman #2), Ed Wasser (Guerra)
  Notes:  Three of the main characters - Takashima, Dr. Kyle and Lyta - were
    replaced by the time the weekly series began, as was Sinclair's girlfriend
    Carolyn; the sets also changed between the film and series, primarily due to
    the production moving to its own custom-built facility, necessitating some
    redesigns, although the series sets are very much like the movie's.  Almost
    all of the alien makeups are also altered for the series, most notably Mira
    Furlan's Delenn makeup, which originally was much more gaunt and had several
    "bumps" on the head, as well as light blue spots and blotches; the makeup
    for G'Kar also changed, notably with the addition of redder contact lenses
    and a more rounded-off chin than was seen in the movie.  Some curiosities -
    close examination of the station in the pilot film reveals that the cobra
    bay doors from which the fighters launch in the series are not present.  You
    may also notice Ed Wasser, later much more recognizable as Shadow agent
    Morden, playing a technician on the station's observation dome.

  Story:  A surprise attack results in the capture of a Centauri agricultural
    colony on Ragesh 3; when he receives the word, Londo Mollari is up in arms.
    When careful examination of a visual record of the attack reveals Narn heavy
    fighters are responsible for the invasion, Londo and G'Kar take every
    opportunity to go for each others' throats and war seems inevitable.  As if
    trying to prevent a Narn-Centauri war isn't enough to occupy his time,
    Sinclair is also troubled by recent attacks by space raiders on unarmed
    transport ships - the pirates are taking more drastic and violent measures
    than ever before.  The Centauri government decides to take no action
    regarding Ragesh 3.  Enraged, Londo conceals this fact and tries to see if
    he can encourage sanctions against the Narn Regime in a meeting of the
    council.  When G'Kar claims that the Ragesh 3 colonists have allied
    themselves with the Narn to escape factional fighting and produces Londo's
    colonist nephew as a witness to this claim, Londo decides to take matters
    into his own hands in a most undiplomatic manner...

  Story:  Shortly after the arrival of new doctor Stephen Franklin, an alien
    spacecraft of an unknown design tumbles through the hyperspace jump gate, on
    an uncontrolled collision course with the station.  Sinclair manages to
    retrieve the ship just before it collides with the station, and its sole
    occupant is taken to the medlab.  Ambassador Delenn reacts with horror at
    the new arrival, describing him as a Soul Hunter, a figure feared in Minbari
    lore.  Though Sinclair and Dr. Franklin dismiss Delenn's frantic warnings
    about the alien as superstition, it becomes clear when Franklin's patient
    awakens that it does have some business with the Minbari on its agenda -
    especially Delenn, who turns out to be more than she appears.

  Story:  Londo stalls negotiations with the Narn - and infuriates G'Kar - when
    he wishes simply to partake of a seedy bar whose agile young Centauri dancer
    intrigues Londo; when he winds up in bed with her, talks are delayed even
    further.  But the girl is in the employ of an information trader who plans
    on using her to get to Londo's Purple Files, detailing various dirt on many
    Centauri families - information the Narn Regime would pay handsomely for in
    order to gain blackmail material against their former masters.  When Londo
    discovers that his secrets have been taken, he begins a desperate quest to
    track down the culprit and free an innocent pawn.

  Story:  Dr. Vance Hendricks, one of Dr. Franklin's med school mentors, arrives
    on Babylon 5 in a cloud of mystery with a collection of pristine artifacts
    from the planet Icarra, which has been dead for over a thousand years.  One
    of the artifacts takes control of Hendricks's partner and transforms him
    into a killing machine designed to eliminate any life form which is not pure
    Icarran.  Since the Icarran race has been dead for centuries thanks to
    creatures just like this, every living being aboard the station is in danger
    - a situation which Sinclair decides to take into his own hands despite

  Story:  Amidst a week of cultural exchange in which various cultures'

    arrival of Catherine Sakai, Sinclair's old flame from the space academy on
    Earth.  While Sinclair tries to come to grips with his past, Ambassador
    G'Kar's past gets a grip on him as an old adversary from the Narn homeworld
    has diverted all his resources to killing G'Kar.  The sudden arrival of a
    new aide makes the ambassador understandably nervous, and no matter what
    steps he takes to ensure his own security, someone seems to be one step
    ahead of G'Kar at every turn...

  Notes:  The character of Na'Toth, making her first appearance here, was
    originally to have been played by Susan Kellerman according to Warner Bros.'
    preliminary promo material.  Also note that the Minbari religious ceremony,
    according to Catherine Sakai, does double duty as a marriage ceremony.

  Story:  After a narrow escape from an Earth Alliance fighter squadron, outcast
    Psi Corps member Jason Ironheart takes refuge aboard Babylon 5, hoping to
    make contact with Talia, his old student and former lover.  Matters are made
    no easier when two Psi Cops - capable of immense telepathic power - arrive
    to grill Talia and Sinclair about Ironheart's possible whereabouts.  When it
    becomes apparent that Ironheart is not only aboard the station but is also
    somehow dangerous, Talia risks her standing with the Psi Corps to discover
    that Jason has become a new breed of telepath thanks to the Corps' illicit
    experimentation.  And Catherine Sakai, on a routine planetary survey
    mission, encounters a spacecraft of unfathomable size...

  Notes:  This episode marks the first appearance of the Shadows.  Bester also
    makes his first appearance, though Walter Koenig was originally slated to
    guest star as one of the "Knight" characters in "And the Sky Full of Stars"
    which, although it aired later, was filmed before "Mind War"; Koenig's heart
    attack in 1993 prevented his planned appearance.  The gift given to Talia by
    Ironheart is explored a little in "A Race Through Dark Places."

    culture, when she is brutally attacked by masked members of the Home Guard,
    an isolationist terrorist group from Earth whose members seek to flush all
    alien influnces out of human society.  Other violent attacks on non-humans
    concern and outrage the aliens aboard Babylon 5.  One assault leaves Vir's
    nephew in a coma.  G'Kar stirs up trouble in the name of justice, trying to
    get the alien residents of Babylon 5 to rise up against their human

  Story:  The blackmail of a security guard for his gambling debts allows two
    shady characters aboard the station with their equipment, which requires a
    lot of power and is intended for a specific subject - Commander Sinclair.
    The commander is kidnapped and wired into a virutal-reality cybernet, in
    which he is interrogated by an unknown but determined adversary whose
    purpose is to uncover memories of what happened when Sinclair's ship went
    missing for the 24 hours prior to the Minbari surrender in the final battle
    of the Earth-Minbari War.  Sinclair resists his opponent's attempts to get
    into his mind, but finally he remembers events that have been blocked from
    his memory for a decade: the destruction of his entire squadron, his capture
    by a Minbari battle cruiser, torture, and a mysterious encounter with twelve
    figures cloaked in grey, one of whom he suddenly remembers well - Delenn.
    The memory could cost Sinclair his life.

  Story:  Waiting for a Narn representative to arrive at the station, Na'Toth
    spots a woman she claims is a war criminal who committed atrocities upon her
    family during conflicts 30 years ago and viciously attacks her.  Sinclair
    discovers that the victim of the assault would indeed appear to be Jha'dur,
    a Dilgar warmaster whose hideous biological experiments took the lives of
    thousands.  She now claims to have created a drug which bestows immortality,
    and Earth immediately calls the station with orders for Sinclair to ship
    Jha'dur home so planetside scientists can develop her discovery.  As it so
    happens, the Narn Regime has given G'Kar similar orders.  Most of the
    smaller members of the League of Non-Aligned Worlds, however, still harbor a
    deep hatred of the Dilgar and Jha'dur in particular...to the point of
    severing diplomatic ties with anyone who now chooses to associate with her.

  Story:  A family of a devout people known as the Children of Time arrive on
    the station seeking medical treatment for their son, whose respiratory
    blockage will prove to be fatal if not treated soon.  When Dr. Franklin
    proposes surgery, however, he stumbles across their belief that puncturing
    the body allows the spirit to escape, and they refuse his help.  As he
    manages to stall them by asking them to consider a more risky alternative
    treatment, Franklin petitions Sinclair for permission to overrule the
    parents' authority so he can save the child's life.  Sinclair has to walk on
    eggshells around both parties, but cannot avoid making a ruling on the
    matter that could undermine Babylon 5's neutral status.  And all this time,
    a child's life is slipping away...and Dr. Franklin decides to take control
    of the situation himself.

    was killed in an incident 17 years ago engineered by criminals to frame
    Garibaldi, aboard the station to investigate.  A dying worker points the
    finger at Garibaldi for planting the bomb that damaged the fighter bay, and
    the President's security chief pronounces Garibaldi a fugitive from justice.
    Though he is on the run, Garibaldi puts his life on the line by continuing

  Story:  When an impatient Narn ship captain panics, he causes a catastrophic

    killing some of the dockworkers.  The spokesperson for the laborers refuses
    any of Sinclair's proposed solutions to their protests, and the word comes
    through from Earth - since the workers are under a government contract, any
    strike they declare is illegal and can be remedied under the Rush Act, which
    empowers the government to force laborers to continue their work or face
    arrest.  A labor negotiator is sent in from Earth in hopes that the
    situation can be brought to a satisfactory resolution, but he seems all too
    ready to have Garibaldi's security forces carry out the Rush Act.  Sinclair
    decides to take matters into his own hands with his own unique and risky

  Story:  Aside from the appearance of a mysterious young man who insists on
    nebulously asking the station's alien ambassadors what they want, all seems
    quiet aboard the station until a nearby fighter is attacked by raiders,
    whose attacks have been getting bolder every time.  Sinclair orders the
    station to be placed on alert in the event of any closer raider activity.
    In the meantime, powerful Centauri Lord Kiros arrives to take possession of
    the Eye, a legendary Centauri artifact which has been lost for a long time
    and recently "rediscovered" by Londo, unaware that the raiders would be
    drawn to just such an object.  Kiros' aunt, the mystic Lady Ladira, predicts
    the destruction of Babylon 5 and the death of Kiros himself.  When the
    raiders turn out to be operating inside the station and take Kiros and the
    Eye, Sinclair orders the station's fighter squadrons to prevent their
    escape.  A huge mothership appears with its contingent of fighters, and
    Ladira's predictions seem like a grimly imminent certainty.

    know what Morden is.  Though this episode arrives first in the chronology of
    the series, Ed Wasser played the role of Morden first in "Chrysalis," which

  Story:  A spaceliner just arriving from Earth carries blasts from two of the
    crew's respective pasts - Rabbi Yosef Koslov has come to Babylon 5 bearing a
    legacy from Ivanova's late father, for whom she has yet to sit shiva; and
    discredited boxing champ Walker Smith, an old friend of Garibaldi's, has
    come on board to enter the Mutai, a deadly one-on-one freestyle martial arts
    competition open only to selected alien races.  Ivanova disappoints Koslov
    when she refuses to spend any time to pay last respects to her father, and
    Smith is frustrated when Garibaldi isn't supportive in his controversial bid
    to become the first human being to fight in the Mutai.  Some of the Mutai's
    alien spectators aren't thrilled with Smith's challenge either - even to the
    point of plotting to kill him before he can disgrace the tournament.

  Story:  Delenn and Lennier form a welcoming party for arriving human "true
    seeker" Aldous Gajic, whose announcement that he has come to inquire with
    the alien ambassadors the whereabouts of the Holy Grail draws incredulity
    from Sinclair; however, Gajic is allowed to make appointments with the alien
    representatives to aid in his search.  Along the way, he encounters a young
    thief named Jinxo, a former construction worker who participated in all five
    Babylon stations' creation.  Jinxo is on the run from Deuce, who is running
    an extortion ring below decks apparently with the help of Ambassador Kosh.
    Despite the fact that Jinxo tried to steal from him on their first meeting,
    Gajic takes him under his wing and tries to instill a sense of worth in him.
    When Gajic runs afoul of Deuce and his thugs while trying to protect Jinxo,
    he may have to trust everything to his new protege', for he will not

  Story:  Two shady individuals arrives from Earth and begin asking questions
    about Sinclair and the station's command staff.  Though they start out under
    the pretense of being corporate investigators, Garibaldi discovers that they
    are an Earth Force Colonel and a Psi Corps telepath.  Colonel Ben Zayn cuts
    to the chase very quickly - there is something wrong with B5's command crew,
    and he wants all of them to submit to his companion's mind scan so he can
    find out what.  Ivanova objects strongly to the participation of a telepath,
    even to the point of submitting her resignation to Sinclair, who has found a
    legal loophole that prevents Ben Zayn from forcing anyone to do anything
    without a formal inquiry tantamount to court-martial.  But when Sinclair
    calls this bluff, he finds out that Ben Zayn is willing to break all the
    rules when the colonel calls a formal inquiry on the entire command crew.
    His real mission - to put himself of command of B5, an assignment he was
    passed over for, and he has the help of a high-ranking memer of Psi Corps
    who Sinclair once defeated.

    legendary Minbari general and one of the Minbari's heroes of the Battle of
    the Line.  Garibaldi expresses concerns that the tour could be a prelude to
    a new surge of Minbari hostility.  Elsewhere on B5, a 12-year-old orphan is
    caught trying to steal food in the Zocalo, but when she suddenly crumples to
    the ground clutching her head, Ivanova puts her under arrest, and at once a
    feud begins between the first officer and Talia, who reveals that the girl
    is an emerging telepath who should be trained by the Psi Corps, to which
    Ivanova objects in the strongest possible terms.  When the body of Brammer
    is brought to be viewed by the Minbari residents of B5, the casket is found
    to be missing, a horrible revelation that has Minbari representative Neroon
    - Brammer's devoted follower and first officer on the Line - threatening to

  Story:  Seismic disturbances on the surface of Epsilon 3, the planet B5
    orbits, draw the attention of the crew.  A shuttle manned by a science team
    leaves the station to investigate, but it is thrown off course by a burst of
    intense energy from Epsilon 3's surface.  A further attempt to survey the
    planet activates an automatic defense system which fires heat-seeking
    missiles from an installation hidden beneath the planet's surface.  In the
    meantime, news receives the station that the Mars Colony has been engulfed
    in a full-fledged political revolt, and a mysterious image is sighted aboard
    B5 pleading for help.  Deciding that the recent attack constitutes a threat
    to station security, Sinclair and Ivanova are the next shuttle crew to try
    to land on Epsilon 3.  Evading the defense systems, they dive below the
    surface and discover an underground installation filled with astounding
    technology on a scale never before seen.  And at the center of this vast
    complex, the being from the mysterious image begs Sinclair and Ivanova for
    help - and warns that anyone near Epsilon 3 is in grave danger.

  Story:  As Sinclair and Ivanova return to the station with the dying being
    from Epsilon 3, the Earth Alliance heavy cruiser Hyperion arrives,
    supposedly to provide backup should any of the alien governments object to
    an anticipated Earth takeover of the unimaginably powerful technology found
    on Epsilon 3.  In the meantime, Draal, a friend of Delenn's who has arrived
    to tell her he is probably never going to return to Minbar, somehow picks up
    on the presence of the alien Varn in the medlab.  Varn reveals that Epsilon
    3 is the hiding place of a level of technology which could be malevolently
    destructive in the wrong hands, and Varn is its guardian, but with his
    condition fading of natural causes, the planet's defenses are becoming
    erratic and volatile.  As if the uncooperative captain of the Hyperion isn't
    enough for Sinclair to deal with, an alien ship containing beings similar to
    Varn arrives, demanding custody of Epsilon 3's technology and theatening any
    who stand in the way.  Draal wants to take Varn and go to Epsilon 3, and
    Delenn convinces Londo to fly them down to the surface in the midst of a
    pitch battle between the combined forces of B5 and the Hyperion and the
    alien attackers.  Draal intends to take Varn's place as the Guardian of

    returns to the station dead.  Then a message arrives from the long-gone
    station - a distress call from B4.  A convoy of fighters and transports
    departs B5 to see if the ghostly station can be evacuated.  It turns out
    that B4 and its crew have been lost in time for years, and the station,
    according to an unusual and evasive alien named Zathras, has been brought
    back to 2258 so its occupants can escape.  Zathras also mentions The One, a
    space-suited figure who appears ghostlike in the corridors of B4, and tells
    of how the station has been lifted from its present to serve as a staging
    base in a great war of the future.  Sinclair offers his help, but Zathras

  Story:  Ivanova discovers that Dr. Franklin has been operating a free clinic
    for dwellers of Down Below, the area of B5 where most of the unemployed eke
    out a poverty-stricken existence, and that he's been using some of his
    medlab supplies to do so.  Not much later, Franklin himself learns of
    another free clinic being operated aboard the station, one which promises to
    heal everything.  Franklin finds Dr. Laura Rosen, an aging physician who has
    discovered an alien device with an unknown purpose that seems to remove
    illness, disease and debilitation harmlessly.  Dr. Rosen herself is slowly
    dying of a terminal illness, but does not use the machine on herself.  In
    the meantime, convicted murderer Mueller is sentenced to have his brain

  Story:  Negotiations between the Narn and Centauri over territorial claims to
    quadrant 37 are getting nowhere, and it looks like G'Kar has the upper hand
    on Londo.  In the meantime, a strange discussion between Kosh and Delenn
    leads to a momentous decision, one which numbers Delenn's days as she knows
    them.  An informant for Garibaldi is found murdered, and Garibaldi sets out
    to discover who did it.  Morden, an elusive being in human form who once
    asked Londo and G'Kar what they wanted, appears out of nowhere and offers
    Londo the opportunity to take credit for a solution to the quadrant 37
    problem that will tip the scales in the Centauris' favor, a solution which
    Morden and his unspecified associates will provide at no cost.  Garibaldi
    follows a tenuous trail of clues to a man named Devereaux, who warns that
    the security chief is getting into something too big for him.  As it turns
    out, this is true - Garibaldi discovers evidence that Devereaux may be an
    Earthforce special agent, and finally stumbles across a plot to assassinate
    the president of the Earth Alliance.  He pays for this discovery dearly when
    one of the conspirators shoots him, almost fatally.  The Shadows are cast
    upon quadrant 37, utterly annihilating every trace of the Narn presence
    there in mere seconds.  Delenn goes to Sinclair to discuss at last the
    Battle of the Line and his capture, but his priority must be to find
    Garibaldi.  Delenn is risking her life and Sinclair's to reveal the mystery
    to him, and warns that she has little time left.  Garibaldi, dying, warns of
    the plot to kill the president, but his warning is too late, and Earthforce
    One is destroyed and the vice-president is sworn in hours later.  Londo is
    horrified at Morden's solution to the quadrant 37 dispute.  Delenn sets into
    motion a process which begins transforming her, and Sinclair misses his
    chance to learn the greatest mystery of his life.  Garibaldi is given 50/50
    odds on surviving his injuries.  And all at once, nothing is the same...

  Story:  Within three days of the president's assassination, Sinclair has been
    recalled to Earth.  Captain John Sheridan of the starship Agamemnon is
    assigned to take command of B5, which is visited by Kalain, commander of the
    Minbari warship Trigati which has been missing since its crew defied the
    Grey Council's sudden cease-fire order that ended the Earth-Minbari War over
    a decade before.  The Minbari protest the choice of Sheridan to command the
    station due to his service in the war, and Grey Council envoy Hedronn warns
    Sheridan of Kalain's presence and hostile intent.  As it turns out, Kalain
    has made his way to Delenn's quarters to kill the cocooned ambassador, but
    is apprehended before he can do any harm.  Lennier reveals the reason for
    Sinclair's recall and the end of the war: the Grey Council believes that the
    noblest souls of dead Minbari are now being reincarnated as the newest
    generations of humans, Sinclair included.  The Trigati emerges through the
    jump gate, ready to attack if Kalain is not released from custody.
    Sheridan, who has been described by nearly every Minbari so far as a dark
    omen for the hope of peace, faces the prospect of renewed bloodshed on his
    hands.

  Story:  G'Kar narrowly escapes the Shadows he has found on a distant planet,

    Sheridan's sister visits him for the first time in two years and is upset

    Dr. Franklin makes an unprecedented gamble in an effort to bring Garibaldi

    attend to Delenn, who has emerged from the chrysalis in a form completely
    bearing little resemblance to any Minbari.  Morden asks Londo to return a

    herself is a former member of the radical Free Mars movement.  After a
    successful meeting which seems to point to Isogi's corporation helping to
    stabilize the uncertain future of the Mars Colony, Taro and Talia are en
    route to dinner when a man stops them, electrocutes Taro by hand, says "Free
    Mars" and flees the scene, leaving Talia alive.  Talia briefly senses an
    image in the murderer's mind, a first-person memory of being in a spacecraft
    destroyed by an Earth Alliance heavy cruiser.  After an attempt to locate
    and kill Talia, the killer himself seems to suffer some kind of attack and
    seeks out Carter's help.  Garibaldi identifies him as Abel Horn - a former
    Mars rebel who is officially listed as dead.  Conspiracy buff Sheridan is
    the first to realize that Horn is the victim/subject of cybernetic
    experimentation carried out by a mysterious secret agency on Earth known as
    Bureau 13.
  Guest Cast:  Michael Beck (Abel Horn), Adrienne Barbeau (Amanda Carter), James
    Shigeta (Taro Isoga), Jeff Conaway (Zack Allan), Jessica Walter (Senator
    Elise Voudreau)

  Story:  Londo's three wives arrive on B5, summoned by their husband for
    reasons unknown.  Mystery also surrounds the arrival of Matthew Stoner,
    Talia's ex-husband.  Londo has called his wives to the station on the
    occasion of the 30th anniversary of his ascension so he can choose which of
    them to remain married to, since his gift from the Emperor is to be granted
    a painless divorce from two of them.  Stoner, on the other hand, wants Talia
    back, something Garibaldi is wary of on both professional and personal
    levels, but no one can seem to disagree with Stoner for very long for some
    reason.  At the party, Londo's wives give him an old Centauri artifact which
    turns out to be booby-trapped, and Londo lands in medlab facing certain
    death.  In the meantime, nobody is able to find a reason to think twice
    about Stoner's actions, even when Talia announces her wish to leave B5 with
    him.
  Guest Cast:  Keith Szarabajka (Matthew Stoner), Lois Nettleton (Daggair),
    Blair Valk (Mariel), David L. Crowley (Lou Welch), Carel Struycken (Trader),

  Story:  At Psi-Corps' headquarters on Mars, Bester interrogates a telepath for
    information on an underground railroad helping unregistered telepaths evade
    the Corps' rigorous supervision.  Bester goes to B5, which he believes these
    telepaths are using as a way station.  The underground railroad does turn
    out to be running through B5, and the telepaths try to kill Bester, who
    manages to take cover, though Talia is kidnapped.  The rogue telepaths are
    more organized than anyone has realized, and they have a friend on the
    station - Dr. Franklin.  Bester closes in on the telepaths' hiding place
    DownBelow, and the telepaths can only escape alive if they can convince
    Talia to rebel against the Psi Corps.
  Guest Cast:  Walter Koenig (Bester), Apesanahkwat (Telepath #1), Brian Cousins
    (Rick), Diane Dilascio (Telepath #2), Gianin Loffler (Lurker), Eddie Allen
    (Man), Kathryn Cressida (Bartender), Judy Levitt (Psi Cop), Christopher
    Michael (Shooter), William Allen Young (Jason Ironheart)
  Note:  There is a hint that the gift given to Talia by Jason Ironheart in
    "Mind War" consisted not only of telekinesis, but also an involuntary shield
    from telepathic scans.  The lurker who is the head of the underground
    railroad is the same one who tipped Garibaldi off on the whereabouts of
    Devereaux in "Chrysalis."

  Story:  When the Emperor of the Centauri decides to pay a surprise visit to
    B5, G'Kar decides to assassinate him.  And he's not the only one with
    designs on the throne.  Refa, a power-hungry associate of Londo's, wants
    Londo to deliver an address that will decry the Emperor's politics, a speech
    which will be remembered after the Emperor's death, already planned by Refa
    and his backers.  But before the Emperor can even be touched by either
    party, he falls ill for the final time.  In medlab, he entrusts Franklin to
    deliver a pledge of peace to G'Kar.  Meanwhile, Refa panics, fearing that a
    competing assassin has struck first.  Londo offers to summon the Shadows to
    conquer a Narn colony in quadrant 14, and Refa sends a flotilla of Centauri
    warships to claim the territory.  Arriving Narn ships are shot down by the
    Centauri, and the Narn respond by declaring war on the Centauri.  And it is
    revealed - though only to Garibaldi - that Sinclair is on Minbar, preparing
    for the coming of the Shadows.  His warning, though it cannot be revealed to
    anyone else is to beware...and stay close to the Vorlon.
