TL;DR – If we don’t defend those who need defence why should we save ourselves.

Review –
In the background of The Orville has
been a growing problem for the Interstellar Union, and no that is not an
external threat, but an internal dilemma. For a long time, there has been a
growing unease with Moclus and parts of their culture that seem to go against
what the Union stands for. This week this issue comes to a head when the very
nature of the Union is called into question by Dolly Parton, sort of.
So to set the scene, after the destruction of a large chunk of the fleet in Identity
Part 2, the Interstellar Union is trying to bring more ships online and
upgrade the weapons of those ships they already have. The USS Orville is sent to Moclus to get the upgrade and also taxi some
engineers to a scout ship, much to everyone’s annoyance. However, the engineers
are carrying more than just supplies with them, which puts Bortus (Peter Macon)
in a difficult position having to choose his own people over the crew. Now from
here, we will be looking at the episode as a whole, so there will be some [SPOILERS]
ahead.
