And the Sky Full of Stars

"And the Sky Full of Stars" is the eighth episode of the first season of the science fiction television series, Babylon 5.

They gain the help of Benson, a security officer, who provides them with a power cell in exchange for paying off illegal gambling debts he owes.

While the rest of his squadron was wiped out, Sinclair managed to survive, though having lost a day's worth of memories.

Benson returns to Sinclair's captors and begs for help, but they kill him and throw his body out through an airlock.

After his fighter was damaged, Sinclair was taken aboard a Minbari vessel and was taken to the Grey Council, the ruling body of Minbar.

The Grey Council knocked Sinclair out, scanned him, and returned him to his ship so as to be found by human forces.

The trauma of reliving the event for Sinclair enables him to escape his bonds, slamming the device into one captor, shocking him, and stunning the other one.

As Sinclair runs, he is still heavily sedated and experiences hallucinations of the Grey Council instead of the regular station staff, and threatens to shoot any that cross his path.

Learning that Earth's government has taken custody of the surviving captor, Sinclair tries to interview him before he is taken away, but discovers he has no memories of what happened.

A Minbari official approaches Delenn to see if Sinclair had remembered anything, saying that if he should ever recall his encounter with the Grey Council, he must be killed.

Neame later moved to the United States and appears in guest roles in a number of series, including Star Trek: Enterprise.
