Arc Significance
- Nightwatch attempts to take over the station and is eventually rebuffed and replaced by a Narn security detail.
- Prophecy reveals that both Londo and Vir are destined to become Emperor. The prophecy also foreshadows several key events in the future, such as G'kar having his eye plucked out ("the eye that does not see"), Emperor Londo allowing Sheridan ("the one who is already dead") and Delenn to escape imprisonment and free Centauri Prime from the Drakh, Londo's death at the hands of G'kar ("surrender to greatest fear, knowing that it will destroy ") and the ascension of Vir Cotto to the throne.
The prophecy may also refer to "the eye that does not see" as being the jewel known as the "eye" in Signs and Portents but more importantly in Interludes and Examinations and killing the one who is already dead may refer to the death of Mr. Morden, executed on Mollari's orders in season 4, or to Mollari's treatment of the Emperor's last wishes in The Coming of Shadows.

Famous quotes containing the words arc and/or significance:
“You say that you are my judge; I do not know if you are; but take good heed not to judge me ill, because you would put yourself in great peril.”
—Joan Of Arc (c.1412–1431)
“For a parent, it’s hard to recognize the significance of your work when you’re immersed in the mundane details. Few of us, as we run the bath water or spread the peanut butter on the bread, proclaim proudly, “I’m making my contribution to the future of the planet.” But with the exception of global hunger, few jobs in the world of paychecks and promotions compare in significance to the job of parent.”
—Joyce Maynard (20th century)
