Psi-cop Bester returns to Babylon 5 to investigate an underground railroad of rogue telepaths. His return sparks tension and suspicion among the crew, as an underground railroad of rogue telepaths would need an insider to help them.

Arc significance

* Talia Winters begins to question her allegiance to the Psi Corps.
* Talia's relationship with Susan Ivanova begins to warm.
* Talia's comment, "The Corps is Mother, the Corps is Father," will later be the name of an episode. It also becomes an unofficial mantra for the Psi Corps.

Notes

* At the end of the episode, when Talia comes to Susan's apartments with a bottle of champagne, one can see on the wall behind Talia soviet poster "Пролетарской столице - образцовый транспорт. МЕТРОполитен". Read as "Proletarskoy stolitse - obraztsovy transport. METROpoliten", which means "To proletarian capital - exemplary transport. The underground".
