"The Face of the Enemy" is the 17th episode from the fourth season of the science-fiction television series Babylon 5.
As Capt. John Sheridan's forces approach Earth, the fighting grows more fierce. Out-gunned and unable to flee, President Clark's remaining ships still refuse to surrender. Meanwhile, Dr. Stephen Franklin and Lyta Alexander find themselves on Mars again with their disturbing cargo. Michael Garibaldi matter-of-factly informs Edgars that John Sheridan's trap has been baited with his father. Pleased, Edgars again promises Garibaldi the elusive reward of the whole truth. "I think the last guy got thirty pieces of silver for the same job," Garibaldi remarks with distaste as he leaves.
Sheridan orders the opposing vessels to stand down again. One captain finally breaks silence saying that Sheridan is only going to execute them if they surrender. Sheridan's new ally MacDougan convinces the young captain that it is safe to stand down just as a new ship jumps into the melee. To Sheridan's relief it is his old ship, the Agamemnon, come to join his fleet.
Number One is livid to discover that Franklin has brought a "teep" (telepath) into her facility without even thinking of consulting her. The dozens of frozen telepaths he brings are equally unwelcome.
