- Did you perhaps mean to reach the first season episode "Chrysalis"?
In the strictest sense, chrysalis is a protected stage of development within which a lifeform changes. In the case of the series, it is a word that has a more significant and specific meaning.

The term "Chrysalis" was first introduced by newly-developed telepath Alisa Beldon as something she discovered in Delenn's mind during the first season episode "Legacies." We later learn, that Delenn and Jeffrey Sinclair each underwent changes within a chrysalis into half-Human, half-Minbari hybrids.
This is where the reference originates for Valen being a Minbari not born of Minbari. The transformation is done using a Minbari device topped by a triluminary.
