Catherine is of course another archaeologist, and given what later happens with Anna Sheridan, as well as the Minbari ceremony with its doubling of a marriage/rebirth ritual, it very much looks to me that if Sinclair had remained the show's leading man Catherine would have ended up disappearing at the end of s1 or in early s2 and would have returned, same as Anna did, at the end of s3, while Sinclair and Delenn became an item.
Isn't Catherine a surveyor rather than an archaeologist? In the Babylon 5 universe, archaeologists get a pretty raw deal, but I thought that Catherine was more of a scientist.
(As an aside, my favorite bit characters in this episode are the guys she gets the good-news-Q40 payoff from. They're incredibly cute.)
From what I read in JMS' notes, Catherine would have wound up mind-wiped and unable to remember her and Jeff's relationship. It makes JMS' later comments in Thor about how silly that plotline is rather amusing!
