Synopsis
Londo Mollari brings his three wives, all of whom barely tolerate him, to the station for the purpose of divorcing two of them as part of a special boon granted by the Centauri Emperor. Two of his wives, Daggair and Mariel, compete for Londo's affections, while the third, Timov, bluntly rejects any such competition.
Several characters imply that Sheridan ought not get too comfortable with his job.
Matthew Stoner, Talia's ex-husband, arrives on the station. He claims to have "left" the Psi Corps, even though it is widely said that "no one leaves the Corps". Later he explains to Talia that he was the subject of experimentation which eliminated his telepathic ability. He claims he can reproduce the procedure for Talia, and she can thereby escape the Corps. Although initially tempted, she refuses.
Delenn is struggling with her new human characteristics, namely her hair. She tells Ivanova that the Minbari soak themselves in a caustic chemical instead of bathing, which Ivanova believes is what has ruined Delenn's hair. Ivanova helps her wash and style it, something Delenn knows absolutely nothing about.
Sheridan opines that Stoner has become an empath.
After surviving an apparent assassination plot, Londo decides to keep Timov as his wife, saying to her, "with you, I will always know where I stand." Timov leaves, secretly charmed a little at this respect for her honesty.
