Command Performance
The Orville receives a distress call from a nearby transport shop and goes to investigate. Captain Mercer's parents are aboard the transport. Captain Mercer and Commander Grayson take the shuttle over to the transport ship. He leaves Lieutenant Kitan in charge of the Orville. Lieutenant Commander Bortus is on a leave of absence and is busy sitting on an egg that contains his offspring.
The transport ship turns out to be a hologram. Mercer and Grayson are abducted by Calivon and put in a zoo. At first they get a long but before long they are getting each other's nerves.
Lieutenant Kitan has trouble adjusting to being in charge of the Orville. She tries turning to Lieutenant Commander Bortus but he cannot leave his egg. Doctor Finn mentors Lieutenant Kitan.
The Union orders the Orville to abandon the search for the missing officers once it becomes clear that they have been abducted by the Calivon. The Orville is ordered to return to Earth. Lieutenant Kitan is torn over what to do but ultimately decides they must disobey orders and head into Calivon space.
Thoughts
This is a decent episode. I like some of the humor. This show still isn't winning me over in a big way but it is a fun watch. I do wish the show was a little more serious and innovative.
