Marcus and Franklin meet their liaison to the Mars resistance, but are greeted at gunpoint by the resistance itself. Meanwhile, Sheridan confronts Garibaldi about his attitude.

Delenn investigates attacks on ships of races allied with the Minbari, and encounters the Drakh for the first time. On Mars, Franklin rallies the resistance leaders to Sheridan's cause.

After arranging for the arrest of Sheridan's father, Garibaldi gives his former commander the news, and urges him to come to Mars to arrange a rescue operation. But Garibaldi drugs Sheridan as soon as he gets there, and hands him over to Clark's forces. Finally, Edgars reveals his plans to Garibaldi.

Garibaldi is barely able to convince Lyta and Franklin that his recent behavior was caused by Bester, and they organize a rescue for Sheridan. Meanwhile, Ivanova gets word that a trap has been set at the fleet's next rendezvous point by a group of completely new advanced-technology destroyers.

The only obstacle remaining between Sheridan and Earth is a fleet near Mars. With the help of the resistance, Sheridan plans to smuggle Shadow modified telepaths onto the fleet, hopefully disabling it long enough for him to take Earth. Meanwhile, Marcus is determined to find a way to help Ivanova.
