ynopsis

A traveller named "Aldous Gajic" (David Warner) comes to the station in search of the Holy Grail. Having sent information requests to the ambassadors prior to his arrival, he is greeted as a very important guest, "Honored Seeker", by Delenn and Lennier. In the process of his search, Gajic gets caught up in the underworld of Babylon 5, as an underworld thug, Deuce, starts "brain wiping" people who pose a threat to him.

Jinxo, a man who was present on all of the previous Babylon stations, believes that he is a bearer of the Babylon Curse because every time Jinxo has left a Babylon station, the station is either destroyed or, in the case of Babylon 4, it disappears. Jinxo initially is tried for picking Gajic's pocket, but during the trial Gajic requests that Jinxo be released into his supervision. These two characters form an unlikely friendship.

This episode explores the myriad of reasons why people search for the truth.
