List of Babylon 5 episodes

Contents

Synopsis

Londo Mollari brings his three wives, all of whom barely tolerate him, to the station for the purpose of divorcing two of them as part of a special boon granted by the Centauri Emperor. Two of his wives, Daggair and Mariel, compete for Londo's affections, while the third, Timov, bluntly rejects any such competition.

Several characters imply that Sheridan ought not get too comfortable with his job.

Matthew Stoner, Talia's ex-husband, arrives on the station. He claims to have "left" the Psi Corps, even though "no one leaves the Corps". Later he explains to Talia that he was the subject of experimentation which eliminated his telepathic ability. He claims he can reproduce the procedure for Talia, and she can thereby escape the Corps. Although initially tempted, she refuses.

Delenn is struggling with her new human characteristics, namely her hair. Ivanova helps her wash and style it, something Delenn knows absolutely nothing about.

Sheridan opines that Stoner has become an empath.

After surviving an apparent assassination plot, Londo decides to keep Timov as his wife, saying to her, "with you, I will always know where I stand."

Arc significance

  • Delenn's "odd cramps" suggest she may be sexually compatible with humans.

Production details

  • The episode's original title was "Pestilence, Famine and Death".[1] A holdover from this original title is the fact that Timov is Vomit spelt backwards.[2]
  • Timov is the daughter of Alghul (ghul or ghoul), literally, The Demon. Note references to Lovecraft and Gaiman in the article on ghouls.[3]
