[edit] Plot 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 apparent assassination plot, Londo decides to keep Timov as his wife, saying to her, "with you, I will always know where I stand."
[edit] Arc significance
Delenn learns more about what it means to be human. Besides dealing with her hair, she also questions Ivanova about "odd cramps".
Also, Londo's closeness to the imperial court becomes more apparent.
[edit] Production details
"Soul Mates" was originally titled "Pestilence, Famine and Death", in reference to Londo's three wives.
