“Passing Through Gethsemane” · Season 3

In this episode: Susan Ivanova (2), Lyta Alexander (2), Brother Theo (2), John Sheridan (1), Londo Mollari (1), Michael Garibaldi (1), Kosh (1)

Concentrate all you want--there's nowhere you can go!

I'd expect a comment like that from someone with no clearly defined pattern of faith!

I believe in a little bit of everything. I'm...eclectic. Open-minded.

Rudderless! Directionless! Cast adrift without compass on an ocean of ecclesiastical possibilities! Tossed by the winds, this way, that way!

Aw, I'm hearing a lot of talk, and you still haven't made a move.

Your Ambassador Delenn has a wonderful phrase: "Faith...manages!" [Moves a chess piece.] Check...and I do believe...mate?

[Sheridan is initially dumbstruck, then Ivanova, who was watching, gets a call from C&C. After she's finished with the call:]

You wanna tell me where you learned that little move?

[smiling] Divine inspiration.

[Ambassador Kosh meets with Ivanova in Docking Bay 13.]

Ambassador. You wanted to see me?

Yes. Formality. Ritual. You should be informed.

Informed of what?

Returning.

[a surprise passenger emerges from Kosh's transport]

Hello, Commander. I said I'd be back.

[in conference with Sheridan, Ivanova, and Franklin, Garibaldi offers his take on Lyta's return]

Nobody's ever been to the Vorlon Homeworld and back again. Yet she goes, comes back like she just took a trip to the corner store. And now she's working for Kosh. Is anybody else as creeped out about this as I am?

[the three others all raise their hands]

Lyta Alexander! As I live and breathe...

I suggest you remove your hand, Ambassador, or you won't be doing either for very long.

. . .

Lyta, I understand the Psi Corps is looking for you. I would hate very much for them to find you.

So would I. Because I'm not with the Corps anymore. That means I'm not bound by their rules! [She gets right in his face.] So if someone were to turn me in, I'd find him. And before they took me, I'd plant a nightmare deep in his mind where no one else could find or remove it. And that person would spend every night for the rest of his life...screaming!

[she turns around and walks away]

Fine! And keep your threats to yourself! [to himself] Nightmares. Hmph! The way my life has been going lately, who'd notice?

[Theo tends to the mortally wounded Edward after getting him down from the makeshift cross]

BEBrother Edward

Is there enough forgiveness for what I've done?

Always, Edward, always. Take my hand. [Edward fumbles, and Theo takes his hand.] Through the mysteries of our redemption, may Almighty God release you from all punishments in this life and in the life to come. [Sheridan joins them, a look of dismay on his face as he realizes what's going on.] May He open to you the gates of Paradise and welcome you to everlasting joy. Father, look with compassion on Your servant Edward, who has trusted in Your promises. Welcome him to Your Kingdom in peace. By the authority which the Apostolic See has given me, I grant you a full pardon and remission of all your sins. In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.

[opening lines: Cmdr. Ivanova and Brother Edward watch their seniors, Capt. Sheridan and Brother Theo respectively, play chess]

You realize this is an extremely dangerous situation.

BEBrother Edward

He's been through much worse.

I think he's doomed.

BEBrother Edward

Not a chance.

Care to put money on that?

BEBrother Edward

Gambling is one of the lesser sins. I've always thought if you're going to sin, you may as well go for one of the really big ones.
