Babylon 5/Recap/S02 E21 Comes the Inquisitor

Comes the Inquisitor
"How far are you prepared to go? How much are you prepared to risk? How many people are you prepared to sacrifice for victory? Are you willing to die friendless, alone, deserted by everyone? Because that's what may be required of you in the war that is to come."

- Sebastian

This episode contains examples of:

 * Alien Abduction: Sebastian quickly clarifies that, yes, he's a human, he was born centuries ago and was taken from Earth by the Vorlons.
 * Always Save the Girl: Or boy, in Delenn's case -- neither she nor Sheridan hesitate in declaring that they'd die for each other.
 * Armor-Piercing Question: "Who are you?" This is the Vorlon Question, opposing the Shadow Question of "What do you want?"
 * Jack the Ripper: a.k.a. Mr. Sebastian.
 * La Résistance: The Narn are gathering stockpiles for one, now that their homeworld is under Centauri occupation.
 * The Power of Love: Sheridan and Delenn.
 * Secret Test of Character:
 * Sebastian releases Delenn and Sheridan after they prove themselves willing to lay down their lives in some forgotten corner of the station, where no one will know. Of course, that seems to fail to take into account the fact that the station commander and a major ambassador going missing would warrant a full search. Then again, seeing as he's an agent of the Vorlons, Sebastian would probably be able to see that nothing remains behind.
 * Garibaldi throws one at G'Kar when he asks about the Narn trying to move weapons through the station. G'Kar, realizing Garibaldi already knows the truth, doesn't bother to deny it. After telling G'Kar to get his arms off the station, Garibaldi gives him information on a contact who would be able to help the Narns. When G'Kar asks why, Garibaldi responds, "I never start a conversation unless I already know where it's going, but I always leave room for someone to disappoint me. Thanks for not doing so."
 * What You Are in the Dark: The entire point of the episode. Delenn passes by being willing to give up her grand crusade for the sake of a single life, and by being unafraid to die.
