The telepath stuff finally comes to a head. We find out Byron’s dark past and we are finally rid of the telepaths. Yay! We find out how totally evil Bester is - several times, as a matter of fact. He had Byron kill a transport ship full of ‘mundanes’. And he placed a block in Garibaldi’s head so he couldn’t harm him. Nice guy, that Bester.

Byron goes out in a blaze of glory - literally.

Garibaldi begins his downward spiral.

The telepaths are freed, while someone bombs Psi Corps headquarters on Earth and scrawls Remember Byron. Garibaldi was right when he said Byron was a martyr wannabe.

Lyta is made the leader of the teeps.

The sound is a little wonky, but here is Bester at his nicest.

Questions:
1. Was calling Bester the best choice Lochley could have made?
2. Did Bester really think the telepaths would willingly come back to Psi Corps? Would he have killed them all?
3. Where will the telepaths go?
4. How did ‘Remember Byron’ get top Earth so quickly?
5. Is anyone besides me glad to be rid of the telepaths?
