Synopsis

President Santiago is scheduled to visit Babylon 5, and ahead of his visit, the station is set to receive a new set of fighters to be permanently based there, but that will be used for escort upon the President's arrival. While inspecting the bay, Garibaldi and Ivanova narrowly avoid being hit by an explosion in a nearby bay. One worker is lost, while another, Nolan, is severely injured and taken to medlab. Initial investigation suggests the explosion was set purposely, and due to the impending visit, Earthforce sends Major Lianna Kemmer to lead the investigation. Garibaldi and Kemmer have a history, as nearly 17 years prior, Garibaldi's drinking had led to the death of Kemmer's father by enemies Garibaldi created, even though Garibaldi was not directly responsible. Kemmer is resentful of Garibaldi's presence and stubbornly agrees to follow Sinclair's orders. Nolan wakes up long enough from him to mutter Garibaldi's name in response to what caused the bombing before falling unconscious again. Sinclair is forced to have Garibaldi turn over his security passes and weapon while the investigation takes place, though sure that he is not guilty.

Cutter, Kemmer's second in command, searches Garibaldi's quarters and finds plans to the fighter bay and Centauri ducats, suggesting he was paid to execute the bombing. Garibaldi flees before he can be caught. Sinclair and Ivanova remain convinced that Garibaldi has been set up, and do their best to slow down Kemmer's investigation, such as blocking all communications to Earth under the guise of maintenance. Garibaldi discretely speaks with Ambassadors G'Kar and Mollari to try to track the source of the ducats, learning they were likely purchased on the station with standard credits. Garibaldi tries to question seedy aliens who he knows have performed such deals, but ends up in a fight; Sinclair, having heard of a security incident, arrives to help rescue Garibaldi, but insist he should turn himself him and let them clear up the matter. Garibaldi refuses and runs off. He takes shelter in a questionable bar, and takes his first drink of alcohol since Frank's death. It leaves him less aware and soon he is captured by Kemmer.

With the new fighters having arrived and the President's ship making the jump, preparations are made to launch the fighters. As Kemmer interrogates Garibaldi, they learn that Sinclair ordered a search of Nolan's quarters and found more ducats as well as information pertaining to the Home Guard, a group of humans on Earth that want to purify Earth from aliens. Garibaldi hypothesizes that attacking President Santiago, who has been favorable to human-alien interactions, would support the Home Guard's goals, that Nolan may have been trying to set off the bomb and set it off prematurely, clearing Garibaldi. Kemmer contacts Cutter, learning he is checking the fighter bay again. Garibaldi is able to convince that Kemmer that Cutter may have been the one to set him up, and may be up to no good. They take to the bays, and Cutter knocks out Kemmer before Garibaldi attacks him. Garibaldi defeats Cutter and contacts Ivanova to stall the launch as the bays are set to explode when the fighters are launched.

The bombs are successfully defused, and Garibaldi is reinstated. The President's trip is successful, and before she leaves, Kemmer apologizes to Garibaldi and hugs him, hoping they can remain in communication.
