TL;DR – A beautiful story about finding love in an unexpected place.
Score – 4.5 out of 5 stars

One
of the things that The Orville has focused on in its run so far is the relationships
between the crew, both plutonic, but yes also romantic. Indeed, the show’s premise
was based around the fact that Ed (Seth MacFarlane) and Kelly (Adrianne Palicki)
have to work together even though they used to be married. However, there has
been one relationship that has been on a very slow burn since Season
One and today we get more of it.
So to set the scene, we open as Claire (Penny Johnson Jerald) is working on a
research paper and asks Isaac (Mark Jackson) to give it a once over. The two
have grown close since their shuttle crash-landed and Isaac helped watch over
her children. It is during this exchange that Claire finally works out that she
wants to take this relationship to the next level, but is that something Isaac
can even do. Oh and Bortus (Peter Macon) wants to grow a moustache and it is
amazing. Now from here, we will be looking at the episode as a whole, so there
will be some [SPOILERS] ahead.
