The single episode that got me hooked was The Coming of Shadows.  It
didn't win a Hugo for nothing.  If she isn't at least seriously
curious after seeing that single ep, then there may not be much hope.
As good as later eps (the Severed Dreams trilogy, Z'Ha'Dum, Into The
Fire, etc) I'd avoid showing anything really arc related much beyond
tCoS just because it will spoil far too much.  tCoS spoils the start
of the Narn/Centauri war, but it's not like we couldn't see that
coming from Midnight on the Firing Line.
