When we come back, Randall has one more clip. He shows an interview he had with Dr. Franklin, who explains the need to be careful with the various races and treatments that they need.

'''Sheridan''': Well, I'm shocked. Shocked and dismayed. I'd remind you that we are short on supplies here. We can't afford to take perfectly good clothing and throw it out into space.
