Londo is viciously efficient, and immediately has his guards kill the two invisible Shadows on either side of Morden. Londo melts down as he realizes that Morden "played him like a puppet" - it was Adira's death that drew Londo back into the Shadow sphere. Londo is informed of a piece of intel held from him by order of the late Emperor Cartagia: it was Morden, not Refa, who killed Adira.
Since Centauri Prime is officially in a state of mourning, this is difficult and people are complaining. Prime Minister Londo is prepping to try to get the Shadow ships off of Centauri Prime within 12 hours, to protect it. They reckon that Coriana is easier pickings - lots of people, lower tech. Marcus and Lyta wonder: why Coriana and not Centauri Prime? They were roughly equidistant from the Vorlon fleet when they departed. He issues the pullquote as a command to Lennier. He succeeds, and he and Delenn marvel at what they have accomplished: the greatest inter-species alliance since, well, the last Shadow War. Sheridan leads a mission to take out a Vorlon outpost, so they can advance to Coriana VI safely. Lorien counsels patience the battle will be won by whether Sheridan "knows what he knows". As Ivanova and Lorien make their way back, Ivanova becomes impatient (as is typical). It may be the greatest gift your race has ever received.
You should embrace that remarkable illusion. Only those whose lives are brief can imagine that love…is eternal. To live on as we have is to leave behind joy, and love, and companionship, because we know it to be transitory, of the moment.
Eventually, most First Ones left the galaxy. Then the universe intervened and made them mortal, let them age. They found the Vorlons, the Shadows, and others, and nurtured them. They discuss immortality Lorien reveals that he and the others who were first on the scene bread slowly and were immortal, which balanced out the occasional death-by-violence. Ivanova and Lorien continue to make contact with First Ones.
