History Recap / BabylonFiveS01E02SoulHunter

* OnlyTheWorthyMayPass: Since the galaxy is a big place and their own numbers aren't limitless, Soul Hunters do not collect ''every'' soul, just the ones special enough to preserve: "Leaders, thinkers, poets, dreamers, [[TheLastOfTheseIsNotLikeTheOthers blessed lunatics]]."

* BlueAndOrangeMorality: The Minbari and Soul Hunters' views on the nature of souls are completely at odds and impossible to reconcile, with each side believing that they're in the right and what the other does is monstrous, with the show refusing to give an easy answer as to who is actually right, if either.

* FixingTheGame: How the gambler gets in trouble.

In Medlab, Delenn is recovering. She wakes up just long enough to say "we" were right about Sinclair, but falls asleep before she can finish. Later Sinclair looks up the word "Satai", which means a member of the Minbari ruling body, the Grey Council, and wonders why such a high-ranking individual would be sent as an ambassador, but decides that it can wait.
