Susan Ivanova is promoted to the rank of Commander.
Aboard Babylon 5, Centauri Ambassador Londo Mollari meets with his fellow officials to discuss the Centauri's rise to power, but his plans are interrupted by the arrival of the mysterious Technomages -- human-looking wizards on a secret mission. The Technomage leader prophesies Londo's rise to power, implying that it will bring great evil with it. Londo's success has increased steadily ever since he instigated the destruction of a Narn military base in Quadrant 37, something the Narn do not suspect and for which the grateful Centauri gave him credit.
Meanwhile, Captain Sheridan promotes Commander Susan Ivanova to commander and assigns her to the dangerous mission of finding a peaceful resolution to the warring factions of the Drazi race.
Finally, Security Chief Michael Garibaldi recovers from his shot wound. Blaming himself for not realizing that his second-in-command was a traitor, he debates whether or not to accept Captain Sheridan's offer to return to work. After helping Ivanova solve the Drazi problem, he realizes that he is need and resumes his position.
