A girl entering puberty exhibits telepathic abilities, and the crew must decide whether to turn her over to the Psi Corps. The corpse of the Minbari military leader who oversaw the Battle of the Line is the focus of a diplomatic incident.

Arc significance

* The Grey Council ordered the Minbari to surrender at the Battle of the Line. This is not something their warrior caste approve of.
* The Earth-Minbari War started with the death of Dukhat. He was the head of the Grey Council at the time.
* Introduces the character of Neroon.
* When discussing the Minbari War Leader's past with Sinclair, Delenn is shown attaching components to the machine which she uses in Chrysalis alongside the Triluminary.
* Minbari Cruisers usually approach alien vessels and stations with their gun ports open as a sign of respect, at least to the warrior caste. This detail is very significant, because it was one of the reasons for the start of the Earth-Minbari War.
