Synopsis

Note: This synopsis came from Time-Warner's official Babylon 5 page.

When a battered, 100-year-old ship from Earth -- The Copernicus -- is given permission to dock at Babylon 5, the crew discovers one male and one female body aboard. The male was murdered and his wife, Mariah Cirrus (ANNE-MARIE JOHNSON), is frozen and has been in a deep sleep for 100 years.

Dr. Franklin revives Cirrus and helps her experience the new world around her. She has never seen an alien before, but when she meets G'Kar, she has a horrifying flashback. Dr. Franklin wants to interpret her flashback to find out who killed her husband.

Meanwhile, Garibaldi suspects that there is a anew alien on board causing trouble. The aliens blame Cirrus for any problems occurring since the arrival of The Copernicus.

Finally, Garibaldi arrest a strange man, Amis (DWIGHT SCHULTZ), who becomes a public nuisance at Babylon 5's marketplace, The Zocalo, by screaming that Judgment Day is near. Amis alternates between rational behavior and frightening visions of darkness and death. Ultimately, Dr. Franklin tries to determine if there is a connection between Amis' and Mariah's visions.
