* [[Call Back]]: Delenn mentions the Minbari custom of a female watching her chosen male sleep. She names the [[Babylon Five5/Recap/S03 /E08 Messages From Earth|time on the White Star]] as the first night, and the [[Babylon Five5/Recap/S03 /E22 Z Ha Dum'ha'dum|time in his quarters]] as the second.

* [[Nice Job Breaking It, Hero]]: Delenn inadvertently starts a genocidal war when she votes to destroy the human ships.
* [[Secret Legacy]]: Delenn finds out she is descended from Valen, a.k.a. Jeffrey Sinclair, which means she's always been part human.
