Meanwhile, Marcus is in the process of building an internal network on Babylon 5; he notices several of his contacts, including the elderly Duncan, beginning to act strangely. In the midst of his investigation with Dr. Franklin they discover parasitic aliens attaching themselves to lurkers. The parasites turn out to be Vindrizi claiming to want to save lives. While incarcerated by the people controlled by the Vindrizi, Marcus asks Franklin his opinion of Ivanova, stating "I sense in her a key as yet unturned", to which Franklin responds by laughing at their situation.

One of the Vindrizi is dying during the melding. The others bring Franklin to save it, allowing an opening for Marcus to escape and rescue Franklin. During the rescue it is discovered the Vindrizi are 500,000 years old and are living records. They travel the galaxy in their host bodies and their current hosts have volunteered for this life in order to serve a purpose from within. In order to prove their sincerity to Marcus and Franklin, Duncan removes his symbiont, essentially returning him to normal. Marcus is distraught learning that the Vindrizi were telling the truth, and Duncan's loss of a sense of purpose he had when he was bonded. Duncan is disappointed that he lost that himself, but does not blame Marcus, telling him only to make sure the Vindrizi can continue their goal.
In the end Ivanova decides that Lt. Corwin is unfit for the "Conspiracy of Light", and Franklin agrees to assist the Vindrizi in their mission. While talking with Ivanova and Garabaldi, Franklin tells Ivanova that Marcus would like a second chance. She believes Marcus is the one who sent the flowers and returns them. Caught unaware of the situation, Marcus is quite pleased that he received flowers from Ivanova stating, "I guess there's hope for us after all."
