This episode was originally to appear in the second season, but had to be abandoned when the writer accidentally read a similar premise on a newsgroup. Fortunately he was able to come to an agreement with the person who posted the message, and the episode could be made. (edit)

Quotes

add »
Lyta: I'm not with the Corps anymore. That means I am not bound by their rules. So if someone where to turn me in, I'd find him, and before they took me, I'd plant a nightmare deep in his mind, where no else could find or remove it. And that person would spend every night for the rest of his life screaming! (edit)
Garibaldi [About Lyta]: Nobody has every been to the Vorlon home world and back again. But she goes and comes back, just like a trip to the corner store and now she is working for Kosh. Is anybody as creeped out about this as I am? (edit)
Brother Edward: I always wanted to know, if I would have the courage to stay at the garden at Gethesemane. Now I know. (edit)
Londo: Lyta Alexander, as I live and breathe!
Lyta: I suggest you remove your hand, Ambassador, or you won't be doing either for much longer!
(edit)
Sheridan: Where does revenge end, and justice begin? (edit)

Trivia

add »
Revealing Mistakes: When Charles asks about the Minbari culture, Delenn tells him about the castes of Minbari..

But she forgets the worker castes. While in later episodes she always mentions three castes. (edit)

Allusions

add »
The name of the serial killer -- Charles Dexter -- may be a reference to the H.P. Lovecraft story "The Strange Case of Charles Dexter Ward" which concerns a man who is obssessed with his ancestors' memories. (edit)
Delenn notes that in an "eye for an eye, tooth for a tooth" world everyone would be toothless and blind. This mirrors a comment by Gandhi: "An eye for an eye leaves the whole world blind." (edit)
Episode Title: Passing Through Gethsemane
The title of this episode is a reference to Matthew 26:30-50. Jesus goes to the garden of Gethsemane to pray and contemplate his betrayal. At Gethsemane Judas leads the Romans to Jesus. The Gethsemane is often invoked a a symbol of one's confrontation with a great personal life-or-death trial. (edit)
