Recap of Episode 7
In the previous episode of The Orville: New Horizons, titled From Unknown Graves, the Kaylon origins were explored after the crew found a Kaylon that was empathetic and capable of experiencing feelings. At the beginning of the episode, a lab was discovered by Mercer's landing party while exploring the mine's ruins, where they found a Kaylon who called himself Timmis.
He was later joined by a female alien named Dr. Villka, who affirmed Timmis' innocence and supported him. She further explained that she and her father discovered Timmis within the charred remains of a Kaylon ship that had crashed while attempting to flee the Union battle, and as a result, they took his weapons away and fixed him.
Timmis and Dr. Villka consented to board the Orville to convey their findings to the Union. Dr. Villka's installation of cybernetics in Timmis made LaMarr happy, but Burke alerted LaMarr of Janisi's planned visit to engineering. She needed his cheat sheet because she was giving them a tour. For the duration of the tour, engineering was closed to males. Keyali suggested that the technology could be shared if Janisi united with the Union but later left the tour when LaMarr drew her attention.
When he started asking her why she was avoiding him in her office, she tried to end their relationship by pointing out his injuries. He was adamant that their relationship was genuine and that he didn't want to end it. But she warned that they must exercise extreme caution to prevent any further injury to him.
On the other hand, Dr. Finn started questioning Isaac about Timmis' feelings before he left. Isaac informed her that he declined the chance to have the procedure performed on him. Yan acknowledged that he foresaw the Kaylons' independence and disobedience and weighed his options.
The Janisi were then invited to a meal on board the ship. They were initially offended to see men in the room, but Grayson explained that they believed it was necessary to educate men so they could help in an emergency, which resulted in a disagreement from Janisi's choice to mate with Mercer. When Grayson admitted it, Janisi was furious, which led them to declare that they intended to depart soon.
