In this episode, we get more of Byron. When he is in downbelow with his telepaths, a person from a gang starts harassing him. Byron tells him to hit him, and again, and again, saying that violence, in the end, accomplishes nothing.
Later, Zack Allan asks why Lyta Alexander is hanging around Byron, and she says that she is with him because he treats her like a person, not a means to an end, a weapon, and how Byron won't use her and actually cares about her. At this point, she has just become annoying and rude. The thing I found to be the most lacking part of this episode would be when Lyta and Byron get intimate (ugh.) and she has visions of telepaths growing in vats. To be honest, at this point, the romance between Byron and Lyta feels rushed, as he just comes onto the station and immediately, she's all over him.
After the realization that the Vorlons made telepaths to fight in the Shadow War (which we, the viewers, already knew), took it to to the ISA, demanding a homeworld.
Also, in the back drop we get a completely unrelated filler plot line that seems like it came from a rejected Star Trek script or something, where Dr. Franklin discovers that an alien race with butts for heads murdered their brother race, who, through intermarrying, were providing longevity or something, I don't remember. Then Franklin gets mad and goes all super moral doctor on them. Completely useless storyline.
In all, this episode is pretty subpar compared to other B5 episodes. 6/10.
