Soul Mates Totally Explained

Everything about Soul Mates totally explained

"Soul Mates" is a second-season episode of the science fiction television series Babylon 5. It originally aired in the United States on December 14, 1994.

Synopsis

Londo Mollari brings his three wives, all of whom barely tolerate him, to the station for the purpose of divorcing two of them as part of a special boon granted by the Centauri Emperor. Two of his wives, Daggair and Mariel, compete for Londo's affections, while the third, Timov, bluntly rejects any such competition.
   Matthew Stoner, Talia's ex-husband, arrives on the station. He claims to have "left" the Psi Corps, even though "no one leaves the Corps". Later he explains to Talia that he was the subject of experimentation which eliminated his telepathic ability. He claims he can reproduce the procedure for Talia, and she can thereby escape the Corps. However, she refuses.
   Meanwhile, Delenn is struggling with her new human characteristics, namely her hair. Ivanova helps her wash and style it, something Delenn knows absolutely nothing about.
   After surviving an apparent assassination plot, Londo decides to keep Timov as his wife, saying to her, "with you, I'll always know where I stand."

Arc significance

Delenn learns more about what it means to be human. Besides dealing with her hair, she also questions Ivanova about "odd cramps".

Londo's closeness and status within the imperial court becomes more apparent.

Production details

"Soul Mates" was originally titled "Pestilence, Famine and Death", in reference to Londo's three wives.

The names of Londo's three wives were designed to reflect their characters; Daggair being a clear permutation of dagger, Timov being a reversal of vomit, and Mariel sounding the most angelic yet having the most deadly personality.

This episode gave rise to one of the more memorable bloopers from the series. In an outtake from the banquet scene when Londo is felled by the booby-trapped Centauri artifact, Bruce Boxleitner tapped his link and said "Medlab, this is Sinclair." The room immediately erupted in laughter.Further Information
