At the suicide summit, Itsuki asks Alex to talk to a girl contemplating suicide. Alex, lost deep in thought in search of the truth behind good and evil, agrees to talk to the girl. On the other hand, Seizaki regards Itsuki's invitation with suspicion and holds tightly on to his gun. Meanwhile, Magase closes in quietly and surely on the two men as the world watches on.

The beginning of the G7 summit has arrived. The leaders of the seven countries, which now contain cities that have adopted the suicide law, gather together and share their stances on the suicide law. While the leaders debate the issue from the perspective of morality, economics, and rights, Alex poses a single question that cuts to the heart of the debate.

Seizaki and Hardy listen to the recording of the telephone call with Flores in a hospice. Meanwhile, Seizaki receives a report saying that Germany and Italy have also adopted the suicide law. In the midst of the confusion, something unbelievable happens right in front of their eyes.

The city of Hartford becomes the first city in the U.S. to declare their adoption of the suicide law. The White House holds an emergency meeting over the issue, and Alex calls Flores, the mayor. The suicide law had slowly begun to spread throughout the world ever since it was first announced in Shiniki.

After the parliamentary election, Shiniki was preparing to enact the suicide law. After his kidnap attempt on Itsuki, Seizaki is put under house arrest and spends his days overcome with a sense of powerlessness. One day, Seizaki is paid a visit by an important individual.

The public was overcome with shock after discovering the identity of the boy who appeared in the public debate. When Nomaru’s opponents use his secret weapon against him, he is left with no other choice, and Seizaki puts his plan for kidnapping Itsuki into motion. However, something unusual had begun to happen under the surface.

With only three days left until the congressional election, Itsuki is scheduled to participate in a public debate. Seizaki searches desperately for Itsuki, but realizes that he still has no evidence that can be used to justify Itsuki’s arrest. While listening to Kujiin, Seizaki comes up with an idea.

To uncover the truth behind Magase, the mysterious woman, Seizaki and Sekuro visit her uncle in Kyoto. Her uncle tells them about a mysterious incident that happened when Magase was in middle school, and also tells them about an unbelievable experience he had while he was her counselor.

The world had been plunged into a state of confusion after Itsuki makes his declaration. Seizaki urgently searches for Itsuki, but is confronted by the fact that Itsuki has not done anything illegal. In the meantime, Sekuro is sent to Seizaki’s office as the newly appointed secretary.

Nomaru, the secretary general of the Liberal Justice Party, reveals the real purpose of the Shiniki initiative. Seizaki is shocked to learn that Nomaru has connections with the public prosecutor’s office, but continues investigating the deaths of Inaba and his friend anyway. Seizaki decides to focus his investigation on the women who were providing escort services.

Seizaki struggles to accept the sudden death of a friend and concludes that he must have been killed in retaliation by a politician running in the mayoral election. With help from Kujiin and Hanta, Seizaki interrogates a woman he identified as an important witness in the investigation.

While investigating a scandal involving a pharmaceutical company, Zen Seizaki, a public prosecutor from the Tokyo District Public Prosecutors Office Special Investigations Team, discovers an unusual document covered in bloodstains with the letter F written all over it.

En route to Babylon 5 for the anniversary celebration, Sheridan begrudgingly gives an interview to ISN. He mentions his regret that Londo will not be at the celebration to represent the Centauri, but that his ship will be picking up Prince Regent Vintari, third in line to the throne. The night before the rendezvous, Galen appears to Sheridan in a dream, and shows him a vision of the destruction of New York City. In 30 years, he says, Emperor Vintari will attempt to restore the Republic’s former glory by destroying an old adversary – Earth. This can all be prevented if Sheridan will simply kill Vintari now. But when Sheridan meets the young man, who already feels trapped by the political intrigues of the Republic, he begins to doubt that he can kill a man for actions he has not yet committed.

Col. Lochley asks a Catholic priest to come to Babylon 5 a few days before President Sheridan is to arrive for the Interstellar Alliance’s tenth anniversary celebration. A crew member who recently returned from a vacation on Earth had been complaining of hearing voices before finally barricading himself in a section of the station. The crewman, Burke, is now restrained within a security cell and claiming to be possessed by a demonic spirit. The priest is skeptical at first, suspecting mental illness or some kind of hoax. But after a demonstration of the being’s power, he is convinced. He is unsure whether or not to try to perform an exorcism immediately, or summon additional help from Earth. If he calls for help, the word of the reason will spread. And while this may cause some panic, it would also lead to a renewed purpose for a Church that has been declining toward irrelevance. The demonic being claims this is, in fact, its purpose – that it was trapped in space by God so that starfaring humans would find reason to believe. The being’s apparent eagerness to be exorcised gives Lochley and the priest pause – there is another agenda here. But denying the demon’s wish would seem to condemn Burke to suffer, and that responsibility may be too much to bear.

After being punished for retreat from combat, Ranger David Martel is given command of the Liandra, a haunted 20-year old Minbari fighting ship. He's escorting ambassadors to a secret archaeological site, the oldest city on record and a clue to a dangerous ancient race. Babylon 5: The Legend of the Rangers takes place in 2264 after the wars are over and a new age of space exploration has begun. The Interstellar Alliance has been organized to establish and maintain peace among its member worlds, including Earth. The Rangers are an elite military force made up of hand-picked young, smart, dedicated human and alien members who combine the high-tech elements of space travel with the idealism and honor of the knights of old. They encounter a previously unknown alien race whose lethal power is far greater than any force previously known to Earth or any other world in the Interstellar Alliance.

A technomage named Galen predicts an imminent attack by the Drakh, the old allies of the Shadows. Through dreams, a thief, a captain, and a president are brought together to head them off. The president is John Sheridan. Because of his irrational behavior, Sheridan's friends begin to wonder about his sanity. It's up to all of them and two prototype battlecruisers, the Excalibur and the Victory, to stop the fleet and their planet-killer. But is there more to the Drakh's plan?

Captain Lochley now has solid proof that Garibaldi is a disaster magnet: when he comes to the station to meet with one of his new company's subordinates, she's being sued by the owner of an illegal virtual reality "holo-brothel" and besieged by Soul Hunters looking for one of their soul vessels, this one containing the souls of the long-lost Ralga alien species.

The crew of Babylon 5 discover a mysterious artifact of unknown origin. The artifact influences the minds of people aboard the station and endangers the lives of everyone aboard.

The Earth military encounters an alien race called the Minbari. Through a series of accidents and misunderstandings, a war breaks out that nearly results in the death of every human on Earth. The war and its aftermath provide the background for the TV series "Babylon 5."

American PR consultant Liz Garvey is hired by Metropolitan chief constable Richard Miller to help the police improve its image. At the same time, documentary filmmaker Matt Coward is shadowing Territorial Support group officers Davina Bancroft, Robbie Vas, and Damien 'Clarkey' Clarke at an unorganised Kurdish protest where Vas has to be reminded to tone down the abuse because he is on camera. Elsewhere, officer Warwick Collister accidentally apprehends an innocent woman whom he wrongly suspected was a drug addict. Garvey's introductory speech is interrupted by news that a sniper is randomly shooting victims around the city, her disgruntled assistant Finn Kirkwood, annoyed at being passed over for promotion, almost wrecking her press conference.
