Ceremonies of Light and Dark
"No more! No more of you! No more Nightwatch, no more hostages, no more lies. Not on my station, not on my watch. No more! No more."

- Captain Sheridan

This episode contains examples of:
"Sheridan: ...I can no longer imagine my world without you in it. I don't know when or how it happened, but I'm glad it did."
 * Ax Crazy: Sniper, just listen to his description of what he did to Minbari POWs, and he's looking forward to showing his buddies in person.
 * Berserk Button: Sheridan chases Sniper through the station, ending in a No Holds Barred Beatdown after he stabs Delenn.
 * Sniper himself earlier, while talking to Delenn about pity(see below).
 * Bilingual Backfire: Held hostage, Delenn and Lenann quietly start assessing the situation and planning an escape strategy in Minbari, only for one of the captors to interrupt them. He doesn't actually say anything in Minbari, but he makes it clear that he understood exactly what was being said.
 * Curb Stomp Battle: Marcus vs. the bar patrons. "Oh, bugger. Now I have to wait for one of them to wake up."
 * Also Sheridan vs. Sniper at the end.
 * Don't You Dare Pity Me: Delenn telling Sniper she feels sorry for him because he is still trapped in the madness of the Earth-Minbari War sets him off, causing him to shoot Lenann and almost shoot Delenn, but Boggs stops him before he can.
 * Hostage Situation
 * I Surrender, Suckers: Sheridan makes Nightwatch think the Minbari have pulled out then fakes a reactor leak to force them into the open.
 * Love Confession: This is the episode where Sheridan comes clean with his feelings for Delenn.
