Warning: Spoilers
In this episode, we again follow Byron and his telepaths as they lock themselves up in down below, in protest of the fact that the ISA won't give them a homeworld. Bester is called to the scene by Captain Lochley. Meanwhile, G'Kar discovers, while on Centauri Prime with Londo, that his aide, Na'toth, is still alive an in a cell. They bust her out, and she goes back to the Narn homeworld. Finally, the members of the ISA are growing restless about the attacks on the shipping lanes. When they find a piece of metal belonging to one of the races, they blame them, and when they find a piece of metal from the ship of another race, they blame them. It is then revealed that it was a setup, that the pieces were not blown off but cut off, and that there are larger forces at play here.

This is an okay story. I do not agree with the irrational reasoning of Byron and the telepaths. They're just kind of being jerks at this point; I could have thought up many more effective ways to have them establish a colony. It may have worked for Ghandi, but it sure as hell won't work for Byron, as you'll see in the next episode.
