Majority Rule
Commander Grayson, Doctor Finn, Security Chief Kitan, and Lieutenant LaMarr take a shuttle to Sargus 4. They are there to retrieve a couple of Planetary Union anthropologists. The team disguises themselves as locals but quickly run into trouble. LaMarr gets arrested for insulting a national hero. His fate is to be decided by popular vote.
Captain Mercer turns to the Planetary Union for permission to break LaMarr out but that request is denied even though it could result in John getting lobotomized. Commander Grayson stays near to LaMarr while Security Chief Kitan and Doctor Finn turn to a local for help. They take her to the Orville. She gives them some advice on how they could sway the voting.
Most of the story, as with the previous episode, takes place away from the Orville. The story is set on a world that resembles 21st century Earth. Alara has to disguise herself which works fine until someone points out that it is culturally inappropriate for her to wear the hat she has on.
Loren Lester plays one of the missing anthropologists. He was the voice of Robin and Nightwing on Batman: The Animated Series.
This episode was fun. I don't think I like it quite as much as the previous one but it has its moments.
