What happens in "Thanks for Sharing"?

0:00 Thanks for Sharing The episode as published by the rights holder, from the start.

Early in the episode the crew discusses Talyn's condition and how little progress he has made, and a search for a remedy begins.^[4] D'Argo and Rygel are sent to find Chromextin, a substance described as able to help Talyn heal.^[4] Their search leads them into dealings with other parties on the station, where Chromextin is in short supply and difficult to obtain.^[4]

While D'Argo and Rygel work to secure it, the rest of the crew stays with Talyn and monitors his condition, growing more concerned as the ship remains unresponsive for long stretches.^[4] The pair run into complications that make the purchase slower and more costly than expected, and they have to negotiate carefully to keep the deal alive.^[4]
