The new Narn representative, appointed by the provisional government K'Far arrives on the station. His bodyguard is K'Tong the Narn, that Sheridan helped in All Alone In The Night. Garibaldi, as a former alcoholic, is aware about the disasterous effects of addictions and confronts Dr. Franklin about his use of stimulants to keep up with the workload.In the mean time Sheridan has to settle with the Transportation Commitee about the increased weapons check in customs. A strange ship arrives and remains near the station. Humans will have to answer 600 questions it poses in 24 hours and receive knowledge about new technologies, or be destroyed by the ship's self-destruct mechanism. Londo decides to send Vir as an ambassador on Minbar, because he is constantly reminds him of the price of his actions. G'Kar is faced with a delema. Return to the Narn homeworld and be captured, or remain on Babylon 5 and risk harasment by the Centauri, on the families of the rest of the Narn aborad B5. G'Kar decides to surrender, despite Garibaldi's efforts to convince him otherwise. Finally, before he leaves, G'Kar is faced by all the Narn aboard the station, who request that he stay, and is convinced. Sheridan, decides that the strange alien ship is in fact a trap. It was sent to see if a race, has advanced enough to pose a threat, and if so destroy it. Therefore he decides not to answer it's questions, though he has the answers. The strange ship leaves the area, after failing to receive the answers. However, before moving out of range, Sheridan has one of the maintenance droids transmit the correct answers to the ship. The ship upon receiving the answers, initiates the self destruct mechanism and destroys the droid.
Sheridan wants to contact the First Ones and ask for their assistanve in the war against the Shadows. For this reason he was to go on Epsilon 3 and collect any information about the First Ones he could from the Great Machine. In the mean time July Musante, a political officer appointed by the Ministry of Peace arrives on Babylon 5, and disrupts Sheridan's plans. Ivanova goes to E3 in his place. Among other things she discovers evidence about president Clark's involvment in the assasination of former president Luis Santiago. Ivanova determines that a possible location for contact with the First Ones is Sigma 957 and goes there to make contact. G'Kar suspects something is going on aboard the station and confronts first Delenn about the Rangers and then Garibaldi about the numerous clandestine meetings that take place. Musante calls a meeting of all the members of Night Watch to inform them about their new duties. Sheridan leaks the evidence of Clark's involvment in Santiago's death to General Heague. Ivanova makes ontact with the First Ones at Sigma 957 and manages to recruit them for the war against the Shadows. The evidence about Santiago's death make the news in ISN and July Musante is recalled back to Earth to deal with the situation. G'Kar gives the Holy Book of G'Quon to Garibaldi to help him.
Bester arrives on the station for a matter oncerning planetary security. The Babylon 5 command staff aggrees to meet him only after his is injected with a telepathy inhibition drug. According to Bester, one of the largest suppliers of "Dust", a substance used to enhance the telepathic abilities of non-tlepeaths, is on the station. Franklin aggrees with Bester, because he has had four "Dust" related cases in the last days. Bester suspects the supplier will try to sell "Dust" to a foreign government to be used as weapon. G'Kar is the purchaser of "Dust" but before buying he tests the effects on himself. Garibaldi manages to apprehend the supplier of dust on the station and thus stop him from selling it. G'Kar, under the influence of the substance visits Londo. He acquires information concerning Londo's connection with the Shadows. Finally, while in great pain he has a vision of his father and G'Quon. In this vision it is revealde to him that the Narn and the Centauri are a duying people, and that their hate for each other will consume them. We see Kosh in the background, who is the one that probably induced this vision on G'Kar. After this vision G'Kar turns himeself in and accepts punishment. When Garibaldi tries to return the Book of G'Quon, G'Kar tells him he is now closer to the source.
