Sheridan is forced to kill a Minbari citizen in self-defense; however, when a Minbari who witnessed the incident claims Sheridan murdered the Minbari in cold blood, he must prove his innocence or lose his command. Elsewhere, Ivanova is placed in charge of a gift shop selling Babylon 5 merchandise.

Sheridan is shocked to learn that one of the crew of the Icarus, the ill-fated science ship that exploded with his wife aboard, is alive - namely Mr. Morden. Meanwhile, a representative from the newly established Ministry of Peace visits the station to recruit personnel to the Nightwatch.
