In the first part of a two-part adventure, Captain Ed Mercer and Lt. Gordon Malloy respond to a century-old distress signal from a lost Union ship, only to crash-land on a remote planet inhabited by a primitive, bird-like species. Meanwhile, on the Orville, Commander Kelly Grayson faces a delicate diplomatic challenge when Bortus asks her to help Topa gain access to school, testing the limits of interspecies understanding.

In the second part of this gripping two-parter, Captain Ed Mercer and Lt. Gordon Malloy face a desperate race against time as they uncover the Chog’s reliance on the wreck of the Burton—only to discover the derelict’s hidden defense system poses a deadly threat to the approaching Orville. With the fate of the Chog and the safety of their ship hanging in the balance, Ed and Gordon must find a way to warn their crew without triggering disaster. Meanwhile, aboard the Orville, Commander Kelly Grayson finds herself at a crossroads in her growing connection with Cassius.

In "The Word of Avis, Part 1 of 2," the Orville intercepts a Union shuttle on the edge of Krill space, where a team of xenoanthropologists claims a systems failure—but Captain Ed Mercer and Commander Kelly Grayson aren’t convinced. As tensions rise and old memories surface, the crew must navigate a mystery that reaches into forgotten histories and the enigmatic past of the Krill, with secrets that could reshape their understanding of the galaxy.

Trapped in Krill space and hunted by a relentless fleet, the Orville takes refuge in a treacherous asteroid field as Captain Ed Mercer and his crew race to outthink their Krill pursuers. With tensions rising and the odds stacked against them, secrets from the past begin to surface—especially when a Krill priest named Sazeron offers a cryptic message that could be a lifeline… or a trap.

In "Launch Day Part 1 of 2," the Orville races to prevent a war when it intercepts a Krill fleet en route to attack the planet Alibar, believing the Alibar are building a weapon. Captain Ed Mercer and Commander Kelly Grayson go undercover on Alibar to uncover the truth, while Lt. Gordon Malloy and Lt. Commander John LaMarr search for a hidden Alibar weapon in space—just as tensions flare and the fate of the planet hangs in the balance.

In "Launch Day Part 2 of 2," Captain Ed Mercer and Commander Kelly Grayson go undercover on Alibar to unravel the mystery behind Launch Day, while Lt. Gordon Malloy and Lt. Commander John LaMarr investigate a mysterious satellite in orbit. On the Orville, Lt.

In "Heroes Part 1 of 2," the Orville returns to a planet Talla Keyali once called home, only to find its people enslaved by the ruthless Nazh, who force them to mine Dysonium. Talla's personal history with the world clashes with the ship’s orders to stand down, putting her loyalty to duty—and her past—at odds with the crew’s growing resolve to act.

In the second part of this gripping two-parter, Lt. Talla Keyali—now embracing the legendary guise of Xandia—races to prevent the Nazh from enslaving the Okudum, even as orders from Starfleet forbid the Orville from intervening. With the fate of an entire people hanging in the balance, Talla must navigate deception, duty, and the weight of a myth she never asked to inherit.

In "Digressions Part 1 of 2," Commander Kelly Grayson grapples with the weight of memories from a future she never meant to carry—memories that fracture her relationship with Captain Ed Mercer just as it begins. As Ed alters his path and steps away from Earth, the ripple effect threatens to unravel the timeline, with dire consequences for the Orville and Earth itself.

In the wake of a chilling vision from the future, Commander Kelly Grayson races against time to prevent the Kaylon's devastating assault on Earth—knowing that the key to stopping it lies in bringing Dr. Claire Finn back to the Orville. With Admiral Halsey, Talla Keyali, and LaMarr skeptical, Kelly makes the bold decision to resign and pursue Finn, even as Ed Mercer and Gordon Malloy barely survive an ambush at their outpost.

In "Artifacts Part 1 of 2," Captain Ed Mercer leads the Orville on a deep-space expedition to an uncharted system, guided by the theories of his former professor, Professor Lamarche, who believes the long-lost fleet of an ancient alien civilization lies hidden among the stars. With the crew of the Orville—ranging from Lt. Commander Bortus to Lt. Talla Keyali—on high alert, the mission quickly turns from scientific inquiry into something far more mysterious, as the ship encounters strange signals and artifacts that hint at a history far older than anyone expected.
