Story: Darkness Ascending
Written By: J. Michael Straczynski
Season: 5
Garibaldi is having bad dreams of his friends dying and blaming him...then he awakes to find Lise has come back to the station, since he pretty much ditched her saying he’d be back to Mars soon and has been gone months. She discovers a bottle and realizes he is drinking again, he claims to quit but does not.
Lennier is fulfilling his mission to find proof of the Centauri attacks by stealing a Minbari fighter from the White Star to get the evidence he needs. He nearly dies from running out of oxygen, but he gets his evidence and returns to Babylon 5. Things are about to hit the fan with the Centauri, and Londo has even been warned by his government that Sheridan may have fake evidence...so he is still getting played even with the Shadows long gone?
There is also a smaller story involving Lyta offering telepathic DNA to G’Kar and the Narn so they can try to breed new telepaths, essentially for money. I’m sure this will lead somewhere, but this show is about to wrap up!
Fine episode of slow build up, with Londo looking particularly worried at the end...when a meeting is being called and everyone is invited but him. We are on the cusp of yet another War.
