Trivia
Many viewers were puzzled as to why the Drakh allowed the Centauri to be attacked. The answer was that the attack provided the chaos necessary to allow the Drakh to completely infiltrate Centauri society. See more »Quotes

A lot takes place in this episode and there's barely enough time to breath since the action comes so quickly and you are on th edge of your seat. Throughout the first half of season five, BABYLON 5 has been a big disappointment, as there wasn't much purpose or suspense. It was obvious that this was originally planned as a four season series and the fifth one was hastily slapped together when Turner Broadcasting unexpectedly renewed it. Fortunately, the dull episodes abated for a while and this one is well worth seeing.
While I can't say too much (this would spoil several excellent surprises), the exact power behind the war and why they are doing it is finally revealed. Now Mollari's reaction to this does seem awfully strange, but the WHO and WHY is truly interesting and surprised me a bit.
At the same time, two major events are unfolding. The attack on Centauri Prime begins and the White Star Fleet are unable to stop them. Additionally, Delenn and Lennier are lost on route to Minbar as a result of an attack by a Centauri ship.
The key to this episode is action and suspense--something sorely lacking in much of season five.
