Summary: A friend of Delenn's, a highly acclaimed artist from Minbari, was brutally attacked, stabbed and branded. Soon a pattern of similar attacks emerges - all made on prominent alien representatives. A group called Pro-Earth spreads racism and destruction, and Sinclair is convinced that there is no room for racism on board the space station. The unrest is growing amongst the citizens of Babylon 5, and he gets help from Garibaldi and Ivanova to try and solve the problems. Meanwhile Londo must deal with a young Centauri couple who wishes to marry for love, and thus go against the tradition of arranged marriages.

MISTAKES/GOOFS

FACT: Garibaldi wants maintenance bots to search every inch of the hull, to look for "A body. If someone shoved it outside, the station's gravity won't let it get far." - But the station's gravity is much, much too small to hold a body dropped (the station is spinning to generate gravity!) from an airlock on its outer surface, and it would also be quite easy do shove away a body along the station's axis.

TRIVIA

According to Babylon 5 creator, J. Michael Straczynski, approximately 20,000 ships took part in the Battle of the Line. Less than 200 survived, meaning that the Minbari killed 99% of Earth's defenders.
Jeffrey ('Michael OHare (I)) Sinclair's wingman is Bill Mitchell, an homage to General Billy Mitchell, who championed strategic air power.
In order to get the feeling of being a fighter pilot, 'Michael OHare (I) reportedly leased a fast sports car from a rental agency and drove the L.A. freeways at high speed.
