Claudia Christian (Susan Ivanova)

Twenty years after his death and resurrection at Z'ha'dum, Sheridan feels his life force ebbing away, and invites some old friends for a final gathering.  Because of the uncertainty of whether Babylon 5 would be renewed for a fifth season, this episode shot at the end of the fourth season so the series would have some closure. But when the series was renewed, "Deconstruction of Falling Stars" was shot and replaced SiL as the season four ender. Series creator J. Michael Straczynski makes a cameo appearance as the maintenance worker who shuts down the station.
