Thank you........ It wasn't "Believers" because I really can't stand that episode. But I must have missed that episode somehow. I might go back to it.
Oh good not up to season 5 yet. On the last two episodes of season 4

The Quality of Mercy is worth watching as it introduces a plot device used in several future episodes and reveals surprising information about the Centauri male organs of reproduction.
This is true. Whether it was Netter or Copeland seems unclear but JMS was told that doing the CGI in wide wasn't possible and he took them at their word.
Lyta was being held in security when she destroyed the camera. That episode was "Wheel of Fire" when she was talking to Garibaldi and they made a deal about her removing Bester's block.
June Lockhart was in "The Quality of Mercy", the episode where the alien healing device was introduced.
ETA: Oops, sorry - didn't see the other answers that were there first.

Arg I looked this up and this whole thing about the Nephilim is from a written story, The Nautilus Coil. With tv series, unless it's derived from a book that predates the series, I don't read them (eg, I don't read Star Trek books, but there will be a Wild Cards series and I've read that). But ok good to know. And thanks for the refresh on Lyta's flashbacks. I still may watch it, but I will FF through that painfully embarrassing scene of Zach telling his feelings to Lyta.
But everything we see on the show shows us that even a Vorlon-enhanced Lyta, who is beyond a P12, is no match for a Vorlon mentally and can't possibly hide her thoughts from one. So from what I recall Vorlons are mighty telepaths, which makes the thirdspacers dominating them pretty impressive to me. I don't know if they (Vorlons) can do the things we eventually saw Lyta do, like mind-dominate dozens of people or more simultaneously, but I thought their reason for engineering other races to be telepaths was simply that they preferred to use tools per their semi-agreement with the Shadows for their conflict.

I just finished "The Quality Of Mercy" and it's actually not a bad episode..
I actually loved "Believers", because I hate religion.
I'm very religious, relatively speaking, and I loved Believers, too.
That's one of the things I was saying earlier, B5 was really even to everyone.
I've heard "religious" people complain because Garibaldi was atheist.
I've hear atheists complain because of souls like in Soul Hunter.
Some people started claiming Kosh was not only an angel but a specific one like Gabriel.
There's a lot of crazy out there.
And hating is not good for a person, it hurts yourself.
That scene is in "Thirdspace."
JMS gave Gerrold that assignment because he'd recently adopted a son.
Yes, it was Catherine Sakai. There was some confusion because a typo in the comic had Sinclair addressing his message and her name was included but JMS confirmed that they found each other in the past. Details of her going back in 'To Dream in the City of Sorrows". Fun trivia is that this 'fate' is substantially different from the original plan as outlined in a memo JMS wrote between the pilot and first season filming.
I thought it was "the wheel of fire" in season 5 like another poster had suggested.
Imagine the galactic fun if some enterprising Mimbari had sold that device to other worlds..
