Sheridan is outside training the station’s fighter squadrons in alien combat techniques, specifically Centauri combat, when an urgent call comes for him. The Drazi and Pak’Ma’Ra ambassadors are waiting to speak to him with dire news. The Centauri have invaded their space and appear to be preparing to attack other races as well. Far from being over, the war seems to be only spreading.
Sheridan calls Londo up to see him, who explains that the Centauri are trying to establish a presence in the area, and refuses to be dissuaded when Sheridan demands to see on the map where it ends. Garibaldi notes that Londo can’t be reasoned with anymore; he’s afraid of what’s happening, and as long as he is, he won’t listen to anyone.

Sheridan and Ivanova are in his office discussing the absurdity of a peace treaty when Londo appears on the comm screen demanding to know why a Narn ship is there. Sheridan shuts him off and the two race to C&C.
Sheridan calls Na’Kal and tells him the Centauri know they’re there, and a Centauri battlecruiser jumps in right on top of them. They need to get them out now. He orders Zeta Wing to escort the ''G’Dok'' to the jumpgate. Lantz comes in and protests, but Sheridan orders him out.
The Centauri attempt to stp the cruiser and eventually open fire. When one of the station’s cargo pylons is blown off, Sheridan orders a full out attack which severally damages the battlecruiser. Meanwhile, the ''G’Dok'' reaches the jumpgate and escapes, but the Centauri ship succumbs to its damage.
Later in Sheridan’s office, Lantz is complaining that his actions have deeply upset the Centauri. Even though Sheridan was in the right, he is ordered directly from the president to apologize
In his quarters he practices what he’ll say:
Added DiffLines:
Keffer, meanwhile has detected the readings of a Shadow ship and follows them until he finds it. Before long the ship notices him, and Keffer has moments to eject his flight recorder before it attacks.
In the Zen garden the ambassadors are gathering, as Sheridan rides the core shuttle. After one Centauri leaves, Sheridan realizes that he’d planted a bomb on the tram. He orders the computer to open the door and jumps as the tram explodes behind him.
In the garden the ambassadors watch in astonishment as Sheridan falls, and Ivanova orders rescue jetpacks into action, but they won’t get there in time.
Delenn turns to Kosh, pleading, “You know what is at stake. If you are going to do anything you must do it now!”
The encounter suit opens and an angelic being emerges, each race seeing a figure from their own traditions, Valeria for the Minbari, G’Lan for the Narn, and Droshalla for the Drazi. Sheridan sees him approach and as they land asks, “Kosh?” The figure nods and leaves him.
Later, in his quarters, Delenn comes in and they discuss what happened, and what it means, both in the past and the near future. The Shadows will be worried now, but Delenn does not think the Vorlons are ready to meet them yet, though as long as the Shadows think no one else knows of them, they will think they have the advantage.
Just then a call comes in. Zeta Squadron is back, but Keffer isn’t with them.
In the Zocalo a Narn and Drazi are talking about what they saw as Londo listens. When asked what he saw, he says, “Nothing. I saw nothing.”
-->'''Ivanova''': It was the end of the Earth year 2259, and the war was upon us. As anticipated, a few days after the Earth-Centauri treaty was announced, the Centauri widened their war to include many of the Non-Aligned Worlds. And there was another war brewing closer to home, a personal one whose cost would be higher than any of us could imagine. We came to this place because Babylon 5 was our last, best hope for peace. By the end of 2259, we knew that it had failed. But in so doing, it became something greater. As the war expanded, it became our last best hope...for victory. Because sometimes, peace is another word for surrender. And because secrets have a way of getting out.
Footage from Keffer's flight recorder is shown showing the Shadow ship, clearly against hyperspace.
-->'''ISN''': When our ship encountered a distress beacon attached to an [=EarthForce=] recording device, these images, released exclusively to ISN, were found on that recording. Strategic analysts in [=EarthDome=] have indicated they don't know who this new race might be... but promised to find out.
As the footage ends, the ship turns and fires its weapon, [[CameraAbuse and the screen turns to static]].

Lantz (quite obviously so).
*IncrediblyObviousBombTheEmpire: The Centauri are now definitely this; after conquering thr Narn Regime, they've now expanded their reach further by invading the Drazi Freehold and pak'ma'ra space.
* IncrediblyObviousBomb: A ''very'' obvious example. Although given that Sheridan had no where to go that wouldn't lead to near-certain death, perhaps it's an acceptable use of the trope. After all, the Centauri assassin couldn't know that Kosh would save the captain on his way down.
