Ho-hum. This is one of the type of episodes that I don't particularly love on BABYLON 5--the overall series plots aren't particularly explored and the "action" in the episode is pretty muted. It really seems like an excellent example of a "filler episode"--one that is okay but isn't especially memorable.
The first plot involves Talia and her never before mentioned ex-husband. While the idea of the Psi Corps arranging marriages JUST for the genetic possibilities of their offspring, this interesting plot idea never really gets fully explored and is pretty much dropped after this episode.
The second plot is a funny one, as Londo is granted a special favor from the Emporer for his great service to the Empire--he's being allowed to divorce all but one of his worthless wives. So, he brings all three to the station and works on deciding which one to keep--the super-suck up who pretends to care about him, the shrew who tries to act nice when he's around or the one who is brutally honest and could care less which wife Londo picks! This last one is a big contrast to the other two because they spend so much time in the episode trying to convince Londo to keep them--thus keeping their perks and prestige as his wife. How this is all worked out is pretty good. By the way, the ambivalent wife is played by Jane Carr--the voice of Cosmo's mother in "Fairly Odd Parents" as well as many other cartoons.
