Here's a spoiler for "Chrysalis," just for fun. > > 

Something mysterious happens; Sinclair shows gradual signs of a radical personality change. One morning he beeps the nose of everybody he meets. Dr. Franklin does scans but can find nothing.  then something ominous happens; Lennier comes to Delenn in great distress. It is not clear what the problem is, only that Delenn takes him very seriously, and ominous background music soon builds to an excruciating pitch. > then >something wonderful happens; Talia Winters shows up, and she's got a new look! flannel shirt, backwards baseball cap, baggy shorts, high tops -- she's doin' the GRUNGE THING! And she's lost the lipstick and the geeky hair, too! Pretty stylin' there, kid! > then something astonishing happens; Kosh is heard to use the word "dude" in a sentence. > then >something even more mysterious happens; A distinguished Minbari arrives on the station. It soon becomes apparent that this individual belongs neither to the warrior nor the religious castes, but to the little-known and much-feared "leather" caste. Delenn and Lennier look concerned, but impressed. > then something *terrible* happens; Oh, NO! There's a trade embargo, and Londo runs *out* of *hair gel*!!! >then *another* terrible thing happens; Quick cut to the command room; Delenn has hijacked the station and is in the process of maneuvering it THROUGH THE FABRIC OF TIME! Or maybe even THE FABRIC OF SOMETHING ELSE ENTIRELY! > then three more mysterious and ominous >things happen. > Quick cut to a planet surface; B5 is now orbiting Vulcan, and Lennier is standing in the middle of an ancient-looking ritual space looking like he's got the DT's. Quickly Delenn explains everything to Sinclair: Lennier must choose a mate soon -- or DIE. "Oh, no!" shouts Ivanova -- "It's ... a CROSSOVER!" Panic ensues. There is much shaking of ritual bell shakers. Delenn approaches Sinclair and explains to him that long ago, during that religious demonstration back on the station, Sinclair was actually inducted into the Leather Caste without his knowledge. Sinclair looks perturbed, as if he is wondering what to wear. Then Garibaldi rides up on his motorcycle, offers it "as a symbol of sexual prowess" to Lennier, who climbs on and rides off into the Vulcan sunset.
