* {{Hypocrite}}: The ending has Delenn and G'kar both tutting disapprovingly at human hatred. Delenn who started a genocidal war in a rage[[note]]Though when this episode first aired, this was not known; it would be another ''three years'' before this fact was revealed, and even then, she clearly considered, and still considers, it [[MyGodWhatHaveIDone her most horrible mistake]] and was relieved to be able to stop it[[/note]], and G'Kar who is ''entirely defined'' by his hatred of the Centauri. Not to mention, the sentiments they express about how incomprehensible and disturbing human behavior can be is not all that different from Homeguard's own anti-alien rhetoric.

Londo is now taking the heat from the lovers' outraged families. Vir protests that they love each other, but Londo dismisses it as overated, and shows Vir a picture of his own three wives, "Pestilence," "Famine," and "Death." Arranged marriages each one, but they worked out and inspired him, keeping him on Babylon 5, 75 light years away.

* {{Irony}}: G'Kar joining Delenn and Mayan in shaking their heads at Humans' racial hatred...this despite his own burning racial hatred of the Centauri. For that matter, given [[Recap/BabylonFiveFilm01InTheBeginning her history]], Delenn's actions here might be a more subtle example of irony, albeit one that was not apparent during the initial run.

Added DiffLines:

* HappinessRealizedTooLate: Londo Mollari relates something his father said when he has a HeelRealization and allows two young Centauri to get out of their {{arranged marriage}}s.
-->'''Londo:''' Something my father said. He was... Old, very old at the time. I went into his room, and he was sitting, alone in the dark, crying. So I asked him what was wrong, and he said, "My shoes are too tight. But it doesn't matter, because I have forgotten how to dance." I never understood what that meant until now. My shoes are too tight, and I have forgotten how to dance.
