Synopsis

Note: This synopsis came from Turner Network Television's official Babylon 5 page.

At the headquarters of Psi Corps, Bester meets two recruits: Chen and Lauren. They already know the Psi Corps principle; he teaches them to care for all telepaths as members of the same extended family. He gently deflects Chen's hero-worship, and Lauren's interest in him.

A call for help requires they go to Babylon 5. There, Bester is met with hostility from Zack ... and, more disturbing, acceptance from Dr. Franklin.

But when a rescue becomes a trap, Chen's life - and Bester's - are on the line.
