"Sleeping in Light" is the final episode of the science-fiction television series Babylon 5. The episode was nominated for the 1999 Hugo Award for Best Dramatic Presentation.
Twenty years have passed since the end of the Shadow War and Sheridan's death (and resurrection) at Z'ha'dum. Aware that Lorien had stated he could only extend Sheridan's life by 20 years, he knows his time is short, and makes invitations to his old friends to meet him and his wife Delenn on Minbar, sent out by the Rangers. Though the invitation does not mention the reason, they all recognize that this day was soon to come and make the necessary arrangements.
Sheridan and Delenn have a dinner with their friends, Michael Garibaldi, now head of the Edgars-Garibaldi corporation, Dr. Stephen Franklin the head of xenobiological research on Earth, Ivanova, a general with EarthForce, and Vir Cotto, the Emperor of The Centauri Republic. They reminisce about their departed friends: G'Kar and Londo who killed themselves to free the Centauri; Lennier who disappeared after nearly killing Sheridan and is presumed dead; and Marcus, who sacrificed himself to save Ivanova. After the meal, as they gather in the garden, Ivanova finds herself unable to stay, and quietly departs. Delenn follows her and asks her to assume leadership of the Rangers after Sheridan's death. Ivanova considers the offer before leaving.
