NotesEdit

• The entire episode is presented from the perspective of the Psi Corps. Even the opening is altered slightly to reflect this, with the Babylon 5 title replaced with a Psi Corps logo and the words "Trust the Corps" (the Babylon 5 logo is instead placed at the end of the opening). It is the second alternate-perspective episode in the season (after "A View from the Gallery").
