Boy howdy, does it get dark.

Garibaldi has a nightmare that reminds me of Tony Stark’s vision from Wanda in Age of Ultron - is it really a harbinger of the future or it is just Garibaldi’s guilt over how badly he’s screwing everything up? He has visions of the station burning and defeated as he’s had before and Lyta talking to him with white eyes. He also thinks he has a vision of Lise but she’s actually there. And she find out about his drinking and he lies to her about it, as an alcoholic Michael would.

Sheridan recalls Lennier so Lennier runs away and finds the raiders, almost getting himself killed again and making a video of a secret Centauri base and their attack on some ships. Despite being almost out of air, hje does get his message back to Delenn.

The Centauri tell Londo that they are about to be blamed for the shipping lane raids and that they are really the Narn. Sure they are…

Lyta offers G’kar access to telepath DNA for a couple of ships and some money. He says he’ll get back to her.

Sheridan sees the video and calls a council meeting, leaving the Centauri out. We all know what this means.

Garibaldi tells Lise to go home as fast as she can - they are about to be at war with the Centauri.
I want you to get out of this part of space and back home just as fast as you can. Because barring an act of God - and since I don't believe in God, that kind of narrows the odds a bit - by this time tomorrow, we're gonna be at war with the Centauri.

Darkness all around.
