Vir is in the docking area rehearsing a greeting, when Garibaldi comes up asking what he’s doing. He’s there to pick up Londo’s three wives. Garibaldi comments, “A harem? The lucky dog.” This notion is shattered as a woman with a shrill voice, Timov, marches up and demands to be taken to her husband. Garibaldi watches with amusement when he notices a man across the room arguing with one of the security guards, but the guard suddenly stops as though he forgot what he was saying. Later Garibaldi is telling Sheridan about him, but he can’t say what the problem is. He notices things without realizing it, and hates not knowing why. Talia comes in and Sheridan tells Garibaldi, “We’ll discuss this Stoner guy later.” Talia asks if it’s Matt Stoner, and Garibaldi tells her it is, and asks if she knows him. She tells them she was married to him.

Ivanova has someone of her own who needs help. Delenn is having trouble with her hair. Since Minbari don’t have hair, she’d never had to care for it before and it’s become messy and unmanageable. After some pressing, Ivanova agrees to help the ambassador with her problem.
Talia tells Sheridan about her training days in the Corps, where young telepaths were assigned a mentor; Stoner was hers. Eventually, the Corps found they were genetically compatible, likely to produce a child with equal or higher Psi talent, and made them get married. Talia regards it as a mistake, and soon after the marriage was annulled when Stoner left the Corps. Sheridan finds it hard to believe anyone could leave the Corps, but all Talia says is that he had connections, but no one in authority would say anything.
Later Sheridan is walking when G’Kar comes up. He makes references to when Sinclair was suddenly transferred out and how he still doen’t know what that was about. Apparently mysteries give him headaches, something he’s gotten used to lately. Londo comes up just then, in a very cheerful mood, asks how Sheridan is settling in, leaves, but not before complimenting G’Kar’s health. G’Kar leaves as well, rubbing his temples.
In his quarters, Londo’s wives are still going at it, when the man himself finally arrives. Timov demands to know what is going on and Londo explains that it’s the thirtieth anniversary of his ascension, and since his star is now rising, the emperor has granted him a special favor, anything he wants.

Garibaldi runs into Delenn, who now has her hair clean and nicely styled. She notices that he seems troubled, and he tells her how he likes Talia and then this guy comes in who hurt her once and how he hated him. Delenn tells him about a Minbari belief that certain souls will walk together from life to life. Garibaldi takes it to mean she’s saying he and Talia might be soul mates.
Londo then begins opening his gifts, in pausing as he gets to Mariel’s gift, the statuette from earlier, which suddenly fires two darts into his forehead. He collapses, and Sheridan calls for Medlab.
After Dr. Franklin has examined him, he says that Londo’s metabolism has gone crazy, literally burning him out. The only thing that could save him is a transfusion, but they don’t have any Centauri blood on hand and they’ve never been able to synthesize it. Mariel is by Londo’s bed, looking despondent, until the others shoo her off. Daggair turns to Timov and comments that he hasn’t made the divorce official yet so if he does die, they’ll all get an equal share of his fortune. Timov is openly scornful of her attitude.
IN an interrogation room, Garibaldi is grilling Stoner about the statuette. Stoner claims he didn’t know it was booby-trapped, but otherwise does not seem concerned. Garibaldi warns him that if Londo dies, he’ll find something to charge Stoner with, which prompts a flippant comment from him. After they leave, Garibaldi comments to Sheridan that no one’s that calm under pressure unless they have an ace up their sleeve. Sheridan tells him to find out what it is.

Vir is in the docking area rehearsing a greeting, when Garibaldi comes up asking what he’s doing. He’s there to pick up Londo’s three wives. Garibaldi comments, “A harem? The lucky dog.” This notion is shattered as a woman with a shrill voice, Timov, marches up and demands to be taken to her husband. Garibaldi watches with amusement when he notices a man across the room arguing with one of the security guards, but the guard suddenly stops as though he forgot what he was saying. Later Garibaldi is telling Sheridan about him, but he can’t say what the problem is. He notices things without realizing it, and hates not knowing why. Talia comes in and Sheridan tells Garibaldi, “We’ll discuss this Stoner guy later.” Talia asks if it’s Matt Stoner, and Garibaldi tells her it is, and asks if she knows him. She tells them she was married to him.
In Londo’s quarters Timov and Vir are waiting for him when another of his wives , Daggair, arrives. She and Timov apparently do not get along and they start squabbling.
Talia is wandering around looking depressed when Sheridan comes up and asks if she wants to talk. She tries to dismiss him, but he’s here as a friend, not as station commander, and offers to listen if she needs.
Ivanova has someone of her own who needs help. Delenn is having trouble with her hair. Since Minbari don’t have hair, she’d never had to care for it before and it’s become messy and unmanageable. After some pressing, Ivanova agrees to help the ambassador with her problem.
Talia tells Sheridan about her training days in the Corps, where young telepaths were assigned a mentor; Stoner was hers. Eventually, the Corps found they were genetically compatible, likely to produce a child with equal or higher Psi talent, and made them get married. Talia regards it as a mistake, and soon after the marriage was annulled when Stoner left the Corps. Sheridan finds it hard to believe anyone could leave the Corps, but all Talia says is that he had connections, but no one in authority would say anything.
Later Sheridan is walking when G’Kar comes up. He makes references to when Sinclair was suddenly transferred out and how he still doen’t know what that was about. Apparently mysteries give him headaches, something he’s gotten used to lately. Londo comes up just then, in a very cheerful mood, asks how Sheridan is settling in, leaves, but not before complimenting G’Kar’s health. G’Kar leaves as well, rubbing his temples.
In his quarters, Londo’s wives are still going at it, when the man himself finally arrives. Timov demands to know what is going on and Londo explains that it’s the thirtieth anniversary of his ascension, and since his star is now rising, the emperor has granted him a special favor, anything he wants. And what does he want?
-->'''Londo''': ''A DIVORCE''!!
The emperor has agreed to his request, but has aksed him to keep one of them around for special events, and so he will be choosing which one of them it will be over the next few days. The two women are about to start fighting again, when the door opens and a tall, beautiful Centauri woman comes in; Mariel, the third wife.
Stoner is in the Zocalo having some alien artifacts appraised, notably a small Centauri statue, when Garibaldi comes up. He wants to see some documentation on them and Stoner produces it. The chief still wants to have a chat with Stoner. He asks where he’s been recently. Stoner gets him to reveal that he’s friends with Talia and Stoner begins mocking him, asking if he’d like to know the juicy details of their marriage. Garibaldi can barely keep himself from hitting the guy. He lets him off, warning him that he’ll be keeping an eye on him. Stoner simply replies, “Use both eyes. You’ll need them.”
Lennier brings Delenn an invitation to Londo’s celebration, and is surprised to find her with her hair in rollers. Before he leaves he asks if it hurts. Susan and Delenn share a laugh before Delenn says, “It’s oddly relaxing.”
Sheridan is out again when Mariel appears. She appears quite friendly, and he is about to kiss her hand when Londo shows up, the other wives in tow. He takes Sheridan aside for a moment, warning him that Mariel is drawn to men of power, but she burns them.
Talia is in a restaurant when Stoner shows up. She tries to leave but he keeps her there, eventually telling her of a way to get out of the Psi Corps, and that he can arrange it for her. After she leaves,Garibaldi catches up to her but she brusquely sends him off.
That night, Londo is in his quarters when Mariel comes in, dressed in a light nightgown. She extols all the things she brings to his life, but is interrupted when Daggair comes in, also dressed for an evening. Londo says Timov should be there as well, but she wants nothing to do with this. He says they are just showing their feeling, and she does the same…by slapping him.
-->'''Londo''': Well, I see you haven’t changed.
-->'''Timov''': You have; you’ve devolved!
In the morning, Talia comes to Garibaldi’s quarters. She apologizes for her behavior last night then says she’ll probably be leaving soon…with Matt. She’s going to take him up on his offer to leave Psi Corps. She explains that he had an experimental procedure done to enhance his telepathy, but instead, it took it away completely. Despite his attempts to change her mind, she intends to go through with it.
In the Zocalo, the appraiser Stoner was talking to sells the statue to Mariel.
Sheridan is being briefed by Ivanova on the celebration, noting that all attendees must be barefoot.
At the party, Londo is with his wives when G’Kar comes up…wearing shoes, a grave insult. He asks is Londo takes offense, but Londo says, “Oh, no. Nothing is too good for my esteemed Narn colleague.” G’Kar leaves, rubbing his temples again, as Londo chuckles, “I love doing that to him.”
Garibaldi runs into Delenn, who now has her hair clean and nicely styled. She notices that he seems troubled, and he tells her how he likes Talia and then this guy comes in who hurt her once and how he hated him. Delenn tells him about a Minbari belief that certain souls will walk together from life to life. Garibaldi takes it to mean she’s saying he and Talia might be soul mates.
Londo then begins opening his gifts, in pausing as he gets to Mariel’s gift, the statuette from earlier, which suddenly fires two darts into his forehead. He collapses, and Sheridan calls for Medlab.
After Dr. Franklin has examined him, he says that Londo’s metabolism has gone crazy, literally burning him out. The only thing that could save him is a transfusion, but they don’t have any Centauri blood on hand and they’ve never been able to synthesize it. Mariel is by Londo’s bed, looking despondent, until the others shoo her off. Daggair turns to Timov and comments that he hasn’t made the divorce official yet so if he does die, they’ll all get an equal share of his fortune. Timov is openly scornful of her attitude.
IN an interrogation room, Garibaldi is grilling Stoner about the statuette. Stoner claims he didn’t know it was booby-trapped, but otherwise does not seem concerned. Garibaldi warns him that if Londo dies, he’ll find something to charge Stoner with, which prompts a flippant comment from him. After they leave, Garibaldi comments to Sheridan that no one’s that calm under pressure unless they have an ace up their sleeve. Sheridan tells him to find out what it is.
That night, Timov comes to Medlab. She explains that she and Londo have the same blood type and offers to provide a transfusion, on the condition that he never finds out about it.
In Security, Officer Welch brings in all the information he can find on Stoner, then mentions he’s eating dinner. Prisoners’ mealtime isn’t for another hour. Welch says he just asked for it, which gets Garibaldi thinking.
Londo is just waking up, surrounded by his wives. When Franklin asks if he knows where he is, Londo responds, “Either in Medlab or in Hell. Either way, the décor needs work.” As Mariel and Daggair, fawningly say they are happy he is back, he comments, “That settles it: I ''am'' in hell!” Timov offers no false sentiments and quickly dismisses herself, with the other two following. After they leave, Londo makes disparaging remarks about them all, especially Timov. Franklin tells him to stuff it.
-->'''Londo''': That's odd...I didn't realize ''we'' were married.
Talia is visiting Stoner, who is trying to convince her to come with him, but she refuses…until she agrees. In fact, everyone around him suddenly starts doing what he says, until he gets outside, where Garibaldi decks him. “I love being right.”
G’Kar in his quarters is talking about how in order to get rid of mystery-induced headaches, you have to figure them out. He then follows atrain of logic, concerning a booby-trapped Centauri artifact that just happens to show up on station just in time for Londo’s ascension anniversary. The gift giver publicly admits it’s from her and thereby deflects any suspicion, because when you try to kill someone, you usually try to hide it.

Delenn catches up with Susan, and thanks her for her help. Susan was happy to help and offers more help if needed. Delenn does have one more question:
-->Do you have any idea why I suddenly started having these odd cramps?
Ivanova’s eyes go wide as she tries to decide how to answer that.

At the party, Londo is with his wives when G’Kar comes up…wearing shoes, a grave insult. He asks is Londo takes offense, but Londo says, “Oh, no. Nothing is too good for my esteemed Narn colleague.” G’Kar leaves, rubbing his temples again, as Londo chuckles, “I love doing that to him.”
Garibaldi runs into Delenn, who now has her hair clean and nicely styled. She notices that he seems troubled, and he tells her how he likes Talia and then this guy comes in who hurt her once and how he hated him. Delenn tells him about a Minbari belief that certain souls will walk together from life to life. Garibaldi takes it to mean she’s saying he and Talia might be soul mates.
Londo then begins opening his gifts, in pausing as he gets to Mariel’s gift, the statuette from earlier, which suddenly fires two darts into his forehead. He collapses, and Sheridan calls for Medlab.
After Dr. Franklin has examined him, he says that Londo’s metabolism has gone crazy, literally burning him out. The only thing that could save him is a transfusion, but they don’t have any Centauri blood on hand and they’ve never been able to synthesize it. Mariel is by Londo’s bed, looking despondent, until the others shoo her off. Daggair turns to Timov and comments that he hasn’t made the divorce official yet so if he does die, they’ll all get an equal share of his fortune. Timov is openly scornful of her attitude.
IN an interrogation room, Garibaldi is grilling Stoner about the statuette. Stoner claims he didn’t know it was booby-trapped, but otherwise does not seem concerned. Garibaldi warns him that if Londo dies, he’ll find something to charge Stoner with, which prompts a flippant comment from him. After they leave, Garibaldi comments to Sheridan that no one’s that calm under pressure unless they have an ace up their sleeve. Sheridan tells him to find out what it is.
That night, Timov comes to Medlab. She explains that she and Londo have the same blood type and offers to provide a transfusion, on the condition that he never finds out about it.
In Security, Officer Welch brings in all the information he can find on Stoner, then mentions he’s eating dinner. Prisoners’ mealtime isn’t for another hour. Welch says he just asked for it, which gets Garibaldi thinking.
Londo is just waking up, surrounded by his wives. When Franklin asks if he knows where he is, Londo responds, “Either in Medlab or in Hell. Either way, the décor needs work.” As Mariel and Daggair, fawningly say they are happy he is back, he comments, “That settles it: I ''am'' in hell!” Timov offers no false sentiments and quickly dismisses herself, with the other two following. After they leave, Londo makes disparaging remarks about them all, especially Timov. Franklin tells him to stuff it.
-->'''Londo''': That's odd...I didn't realize ''we'' were married.
Talia is visiting Stoner, who is trying to convince her to come with him, but she refuses…until she agrees. In fact, everyone around him suddenly starts doing what he says, until he gets outside, where Garibaldi decks him. “I love being right.”
G’Kar in his quarters is talking about how in order to get rid of mystery-induced headaches, you have to figure them out. He then follows atrain of logic, concerning a booby-trapped Centauri artifact that just happens to show up on station just in time for Londo’s ascension anniversary. The gift giver publicly admits it’s from her and thereby deflects any suspicion, because when you try to kill someone, you usually try to hide it. As he speaks he walks across the room to where Mariel is standing. They seem to know each other and imply that they’ve worked together before.
Back in the cell, Sheridan is commenting on how Stoner supposedly left Psi Corps, but now that he’s in trouble, here comes the Coprs to the rescue. HE thinks that Stoner’s talent isn’t lost, it was altered. He’s an empath, and Garibaldi thinks he was sent here to convince his genetically compatible mate to join him and undergo the treatment. Garibaldi warns him not to try to influence him as he has armed men in the other room with orders to come in shooting if they think he’s using his abilities. Stoner makes one more appeal to Talia, but she just storms off.
In the boarding area, Londo sends Mariel and Daggair off, as Timov asks, why her. Londo simply replies, “With you, I know where I stand.”
Delenn catches up with Susan, and thanks her for her help. Susan was happy to help and offers more help if needed. Delenn does have one more question:
-->Do you have any idea why I suddenly started having these odd cramps?
Ivanova’s eyes go wide as she tries to decide how to answer that.
