On Z'ha'dum, Sheridan floats somewhere in-between life and death. Meanwhile G'Kar risks imprisonment to try to find Garibaldi.
The Summoning
Ivanova and Marcus take a White Star out to search for more first ones to aid in the war, while Londo tries to convince G'Kar to swallow his pride so Cartagia will find him entertaining. A mysterious spacecraft makes its way towards Babylon 5.
Falling Toward Apotheosis
With the Vorlons destroying whole worlds, Babylon 5 is struggling to cope with the refugees. And with one Vorlon aboard, they cannot make a move without them knowing about it. So Sheridan decides to kill him. On Centauri Prime, Cartagia explains to Londo how he will become a god when the Vorlons destroy the planet.

Into the Fire

Epiphanies
Bester comes to Babylon 5 with information about President Clark's plans to discredit the station. But it has a price tag attached - he wants them to go to Z'ha'dum to look for any leftover technology that might help revive his lover. Garibaldi resigns his position as security chief.
The Illusion of Truth
A team of ISN reporters arrives at the station wanting to do a story about Babylon 5. Sheridan refuses at first, but finally agrees on the theory that at least a small part of their side of the conflict will be shown.
Atonement
When her clan has doubts about her reason for taking Sheridan as a mate, Delenn is required to go to Minbar to attend "the Dreaming". Sheridan sends Marcus and Franklin to Mars to make contact with the resistance there.
Racing Mars

Conflicts of Interest
Garibaldi gets his first assignment from his new employer - helping someone getting on and off the station without having to pass through customs. He is quite surprised at who this person is. Meanwhile Ivanova makes preparations for the first broadcast of "The Voice of the Resistance".
Rumors, Bargains and Lies
Sheridan hatches an eccentric plan to convince the League to accept White Star patrols on their borders, while Delenn seeks help from Neroon to end the civil war that has broken out on Minbar.
Moments of Transition
The warrior caste has surrounded the religious caste's stand in the capital city on Minbar, and demand they surrender or be destroyed. Meanwhile Bester makes Lyta an offer for her body.
No Surrender, No Retreat
With Clark having killed 10,000 unarmed refugees, Sheridan once again mobilizes for war. The first target is Proxima 3, which is being bombed into submission. At the same time, Londo tries to get G'Kar to partake in a joint Centauri/Narn statement in support of the war against Clark.
Exercise of Vital Powers
As Sheridan's forces continue towards Earth, Garibaldi is finally allowed to meet his employer, William Edgars, face to face on Mars, and is after telepath assisted interrogation finally told what he must do to gain Edgars' complete trust. Meanwhile Dr. Franklin discovers that Lyta can influence the Shadow modified telepaths.

Intersections in Real Time
In a bleak room, an interrogator tries to force Sheridan to admit he was under alien influence and worked to undermine Earth.
Between the Darkness and the Light
Garibaldi is barely able to convince Lyta and Franklin that his recent behavior was caused by Bester, and they organize a rescue for Sheridan. Meanwhile, Ivanova gets word that a trap has been set at the fleets' next rendezvous point, by a group of completely new advanced-technology destroyers.
Endgame
The only obstacle remaining between Sheridan and Earth is a fleet near Mars. With the help of the resistance, Sheridan plans to smuggle Shadow modified telepaths onto the fleet, hopefully disabling it long enough for him to take Earth. Meanwhile, Marcus is determined to find a way to help Ivanova.
Rising Star
Clark is dead and the civil war is over, but several issues are unresolved. Ivanova is grief struck and Lise is missing. And Sheridan must now face the consequences of his actions. He did the right thing - but in the inconvenient way.
