It is not necessary to know. It is only necessary to try.

Delenn: True, but you still have nine left, for the moment.

• Can't Catch Up: Findell starts to feel this way.
• Curb Stomp Battle: After Delenn walks off, the man who accosted her gives chase, only to be knocked across the room by Lennier.
• Humans Are Special: Lennier explains to Findell how the more impulsive human methods complement the Minbari's more rigid rationale.
• Incredibly Obvious Bug: Londo finds one in the bottom of a shopping bag. Not that obvious at first glance, but his little detector finds it easily enough. He and decide to have some fun by having a loud conversation about the Drazi ambassador's wife before smashing it.
• We Need to Get Proof: Delenn sends Lennier out for this purpose.
• "Well Done, Son" Guy: Londo heartily approves of Vir dismantling the Drazi merchant's stall for Planting the bug.
