Episode #202: Young People These Days (3/30/98) Several people are required to assist as the self-styled "THuul, Master of Demons" arrives to make a donation. Somewhat less physically impressive, but equally daunting, is the elderly, snappish Micquayla. A frustrated Eliza seeks out Wise Snake's advice regarding birth control, then nervously goes shopping. Muttley the dog gets into the Sime Center and much physical humor ensues. Griff shows up at the Ferry Building to apply for a "really ooky job".

Episode #205: Death and Taxes (4/2/98) Eyebrows (among other things) are raised as Eliza, jealous of the time Mostan spends working with his (female) Donor, confronts him (and then makes up with him) in the lobby. Keli and Ison have transfer. Ison shares his post reaction with Jelana, but they are accidentally interrupted by Eliza and Muttley. Briel heals Mrs. Gessin's sprained ankle and takes donations from her and Mrs. Jergen. Tamlen encounters a Gen who intends to commit suicide by donating. Katryn and Mytag do the honors.

Episode #207: Shattered (4/4/98) Eliza and D'cor endure (and almost enjoy) a pleasant walk in one other's company, until the moment is shattered by a young thief getting his leg crushed underneath a wagon wheel. D'cor feels himself to be in over his head healing the injury, and is both relieved and distressed when Briel personally oversees his work. Eliza does an unusually good job of supporting, mostly because she forgets to try and instead lets her system respond naturally. Alea, apprehensive about the future, goes to the Ferry Building to ask Snake if she and Tarsh can live there until the child is born. Veraik, in the erroneous belief that it will make him a Zeor channel, has again deliberately developed serious entran. Alea and Wise Snake finally convince him to drop the destructive obsession before his life and career are ruined.

Episode #208: Rules of Acquisition (4/5/98) Allaire is discharged from the infirmary. Alea and Jirelle take the donation of Jor-El, who expresses an interest in becoming a Donor. Richard Hardwick-Greeves takes Wise Snake and Nick to a high-class furniture auction in Eastcove, where Snake and Taffyd Bollockshire enter into a feverish bidding war over a seemingly worthless object. Afterward, the party retires to a formal dinner in an establishment of Richard's acquaintance.

Episode #209: Bender Cove: A Tourist's Paradise (4/6/98) Griff happens upon a gut-wound victim and goes for help from Wise Snake and Nick. No sooner has Simhi, the injured Gen, been moved to the Ferry Building when Debbette arrives, in hard need several days early. A disgusted Wise Snake serves her (her walking papers as well as the selyn). Alea drops off some sketches for Snake to examine. Rafnel and Jusaph arrive on the outskirts of Bender Cove.

Episode #214: Blue. Australian for "Gen" (4/12/98) Darrel and Alea take the donation of a Gen speaking a nearly impossible dialect. Next up is Gart, a tightrope walker.

Mytag gives him a serious talking-to, attempting to reassure him that there is absolutely nothing to fear from the clientele or staff at the Sime Center. Eliza gets caught sneaking in the front door, having spent the night at the Ferry Building to avoid D'cor.

Upon hearing of D'cor's encounter with a large, hairy creature in the Center's basement, B'cal is determined to investigate said basement herself.

Eliza proposes to Snake that she be allowed to serve BumBum and perhaps prevent him from killing again. Jorgre serves an unusual bi-polar customer.

Episode #235: Muryin's Visit (5/3/98) Eliza asks Briel for permission to leave the Center. Walter and Andirel "clean" the lobby in preparation for the rumored visit by Muryin Farris. Muryin, upon her arrival, is not at all amused by the results. She announces that she and her people are there to turn the Center and its employees inside out in a search for "any irregularity". As an anxious Briel stands by, they proceed to do so. Jon Drake is revealed to be a Tigue. Muryin visits Alea, Tarsh and their new baby. Tarsh is offered a place in Zeor but refuses to believe the offer is genuine. Alea interprets this as a lack of desire to pledge and is devastated. Eliza moves into the Ferry Building.

Episode #236: The Usual Difficulties (5/3/98) After the Sectuib's visit, Mytag, Patrice, Katryn, Jirelle and Jon Drake deal with a food poisoning, a trampling, an animal attack, a darts injury, a migraine, a construction accident and an arson attempt.

A channel changes over in the Sime Center's lobby, and is served by Jelana with Lanyi's assistance.

Episode #239: Donor-Anxiety (5/7/98) Jelana no longer being available, Ison is instead served in transfer by Lila, a Donor new to the Center. D'cor brings back his tutor, T'pris, when he returns from V'lar. After a brief incident in the lobby (de rigueur at this point) and a short meeting with Veraik, T'pris gives D'cor a stiff lecture about treating her with respect. Patrice tries to keep track of two channels at once. Sarma runs off, and attempts to cross the border into Gen Territory in order to get shot. Veraik talks him out of it, with Jon's support.

Episode #240: Training, Anyone? (5/8/98) Lanyi takes donations from Griff and Linn, with Lila's assistance. Veraik dresses down Patrice for losing track of Sarma the day before.
