Babylon 5 - 03x08 Messages from Earth (1)

Summary: Marcus shows Ivanova a lot of attention - to her dismay. When not courting Ivanova, Marcus has a tough and physical task of having to deal with the underworld. As the alliance continues relentlessly to collect evidence against President Clark, Garibaldi has asked Marcus to bring a woman over from Mars. The story she has to tell is very important. She has encountered Shadows, and the people involved are not to be trifled with. Her revelations forces Sheridan to make a rather shocking decision. G'Kar doesn't seem too affected by the experience of being in jail, and is spending his time writing a book. The Nightwatch continues to spy around the station and Zack is saddened by the prospect of having to make reports of his friends.

Michael Garibaldi: You know, I've been stuck in this tin can for three years. I haven't taken a vacation. Okay, okay, it's my fault, I had the leave coming, I just didn't take it. And the pay sucks, I knew that when I signed on! And nobody said I'd survive the job! Now, I give you all that. But where in my contract does it say I have to eat the same food... every day... for three years.
