A B5 actor! A wounded soldier/nephew. Every life, and every death, is important. Song. A lot of darkness. |
| 559, 7:9 Covenant |

world, recovering. And then the hard re-entry into real world. Therapy. Song. An artificial person comes a step closer to real life. I like it. |

| 563, 7:13 Field of fire |
A murderer. Jekyll and Hyde? A repression surfacing? Tapping
into a past as murderer to understand the current killer. Trying to make
a psyche profile. But doing it without turning into a new murderer. A sneaky weapon. Repressing emotions. |

| 568, 7:18 'Til death us do part |
A vision. Calling off a wedding. Misery. And then doing it anyway. 2 great, scheming minds getting together. Both religious. Ex-spouses back together - except she's into somebody else. |
| 569, 7:19 Strange bedfellows |
Finally word from the prophets - and then it's false prophets!
Fighting. Then somehow making that work. An alliance, bothersome for a while, now turns really stinky. A weakling hating to see himself in the mirror - and then he's too weak to smash the mirror! Cute. Ex-lovers coming to terms. |
| 570, 7:20 The changing face of evil |
People attacking not just us, but our very homes - argh! Studying an ancient, evil text. Plotting. Marriage. One of our favorite ships abandoned, destroyed. |
| 571, 7:21 When it rains... |
Helping a former enemy, now an ally. A familiar person, a familiar uniform - but not a familiar combination. A friend diagnosed with a deadly disease. A war might be won by not finding a cure the enemy can steal. So what to do? And then a deeper secret: planned genocide. Struck blind for hubris. And then a lesson in humility. A good general replaced by a politician. |
| 572, 7:22 Tacking into the wind |
Sick. But still at work. Between some enemies there can be no peace. A bold move to gather intelligence. Dealing with bad leadership. And suddenly one of our crewmembers is the new emperor? No, but still part of history. |
| 573, 7:23 Extreme measures |
Dying from a loved one. And then: a wonder cure. Manipulating the manipulaters. Spying on the spies. A mechanical telepathic link. Taking a walk in another persons mind. Friendship. |

Somebody beams in, and it's not a main character! A trap. "I have been used!" War crimes. One of our crew elevated to ruler. Time to clean up! Or not. How to start a revolution. Romance. Pregnancy. |
| 749, 7:25 What you leave behind |
A family morning. The final battle of the war. Genocide. A religious ritual. Done by evil people, who of course fight and betray each other. And of course won't succeed. The final episode - and everybody scatters. Relationships are put on hold. Personal sacrifice for the greater good. Captured in a touching song and flashback sequence. Endings - but also cliffhangers. |
