Bester and his team catch up with Ironheart, there's a fight (Bester loses) and Ironheart transforms into a being of pure consciousness or somesuch, infinitely more powerful than before. Ironheart himself is growing more and more powerful, losing control of his abilities as they outstrip his mastery of them. Ironheart explains his discoveries to Sinclair and warns that the Psi Corps is growing too powerful to trust. As Bester rampages through the station (relatively speaking) breaking telepath rules right and left, Talia brings Ironheart to Sinclair. Hot on his heels is Alfred Bester, a tough, ruthless Psi Cop intent on taking him down. That's when he discovered his telekinesis was intended to be weaponized, used for covert assassinations and the like, so he killed the program head and fled. Not only could Ironheart manipulate matter and energy with his mind, he could see into the mind of any telepath, no matter how powerful. It turned out that the experimental treatment was intended to create stable telekinetics, and succeeded in spectacular fashion. He had volunteered for Psi Corps research into creating stronger telepaths. In Valen's Name: Talia Winters' telepath mentor, Jason Ironheart, shows up on Babylon 5, running from the Psi Corps.

Michael Straczynski still have the touch? Come along and find out. I had not seen a single episode since B5 completed its tumultuous run. I am re-watching the entire Babylon 5 television series.
