"Confessions and Lamentations" is an episode from the second season of the science fiction television series Babylon 5.
A deadly plague strikes the Markab species. Dr. Franklin tries to understand and curtail the spread of the disease before it crosses species, which he succeeds in doing, but not before the Markab become extinct.
Babylon 5 is under quarantine throughout the episode, with the Markabs enacting a self quarantine. Delenn and Lennier decide to offer comfort to the quarantined Markab, without knowing if they will fall ill as well. Captain Sheridan tries to convince Delenn not to shut herself in with the Markab as he will not be able to let her out again.
