There he is. Let's go.

Oh, yeah. Here we go. Let's do this.

Oh, come on, you guys, I'm eating here.

Oh, Alara, this is now an
official Friday night tradition.

- You cannot deprive us.
- Isaac,

get your shiny butt over here.
It's go time.

ISAAC: I still fail to comprehend

the purpose of this ritual.

We're circus animals, Isaac.

- I hate to break it to you.
- OLIX: All right.

Come on, everybody. Place your bets.

Use comscanner code 7-4-9-9-alpha-6.

Hey, what's the score?

Alara's won 16, Isaac's at 14.

All right, let's just
get this over with.

I have wagered on you, Lieutenant.

Do not fail me.

And go.

- Come on, Alara!

[CHEERING, BOOING]

Boom! And it's Isaac for the win.

[QUIETLY]: God.

What's the matter?

- Alara, are you okay?
- Call Dr. Finn.

I think my arm is broken.

[DEVICE WHIRRING]

How's that?

It's... [EXHALES] much better, thanks.

Well, it was a clean break,
so it should be fine

in a half hour or so.

Just don't put too much stress
on it before then.

Claire, how did this happen?

I mean, I know Isaac and I
are evenly matched,

but to break my arm?

In Earth gravity? I...

Alara, uh...

how have you been feeling otherwise?

Any unusual soreness or inflammation?

Yeah. I mean, maybe a little,

but I've also been
working out more lately.

Wh-Why?

Well, your muscle mass is down 20%.

No.

And your bone density
is down five percent.

Alara, your strength is deteriorating.

♪ ♪

♪ ♪

Physical deterioration as a result

of changes in gravity is nothing new.

It happened to the earliest
human astronauts.

Even with extensive physical
training while in microgravity,

muscle volume and peak power
inevitably decrease.

Has it ever happened with a Xelayan?

There have been several cases, yes.

But the atrophy seems
to be affecting Alara

at a faster rate than most,

probably because
she left home so young.

So, uh, what do I do?

The good news is, the effects
aren't permanent yet.

If you can reacclimate
to Xelayan gravity,

there's a 90% chance
you'll regain your strength.

How would she reacclimate?

She's gonna have to return
to her home planet.

Well, for how long?

Well, there's no way to know.

There have been documented cases

of Xelayans reacclimating within weeks.

- Some took longer.
- How much longer?

Well, the longest
recovery period on record

was about four years.

And there was one subject
who never recovered.

He never left Xelayah again.

I'm not trying to scare you.

I'm just giving you the data.

And if I don't go back?

In time, your body will adjust
fully to Earth normal gravity.

After that, if you tried
to go back to Xelayah...

Crushed like a grape.

Without protection, yes.

When would she have to leave?

To maximize her chances?
Soon as possible.

[GRUNTS]

When I first got here,

I could lift a hundred kilos
more than that.

That's still a hell of a lot
better than the rest of us.

[SCOFFS]

Look, I have a thought. Okay?

Now, whatever you decide to do,
I'm gonna support you.

But if you did decide to stay...

Then you'd have a security chief

who could get beaten up
by a high schooler.

Captain, look at me.

We both know the only reason
I got this job

is because I'm Xelayan.

Alara, your skill set
as chief of security

covers more than just busting heads.

We could expand your staff,

give you as much manpower as you need,

but you would still call the shots.

Yeah, like they'd want
to take orders from me.

- That's their job.
- They'd never respect me.

And the ones who didn't resent
me would just feel sorry for me.

I... I don't need charity, Captain.

So what are you gonna do?

What else can I do?

I'm going home.

Well, who knows?

Maybe you'll recover
faster than anyone in history

and you'll be back here in a week.

What if it's longer?

Your job will be waiting for you.

What if it's... a lot longer?

Just get better, okay?

I'll say it again.

Best-looking planet in the Union.

Alara.

I just... I wanted to take
one last look at the bridge.

How are you feeling?

I'm gonna beat this.

I promise.

And I am going to come back

I was saying earlier, she already looks

healthier than she did on the Orville.

They worked you way too hard out there.

You always looked tired.

I don't know how you did it.

Cooped up on that ship all the time?

I would lose my mind.

Actually, the Orville's great.

I like working there.

Well, now that you're back,

the important thing is to stay busy.

In fact, this could be the perfect time

for you to go back to school,

I'm not gonna be here that long.

Well, honey, you don't know that.

ILDIS: If you're worried
about competing,

I've already talked to some of
the professors

at the university.

They know you're going to need
a little extra attention,

but they are all up for the challenge.

Oh, thanks.

SOLANA: Is gravity readjustment

kind of different for everybody?

Because I was reading that some people

take a really long time to recover.

You know, it'd be
really great if everyone

could just stop rooting for me to fail.

I'm not going back to school.

Sounds so simple.

Not entirely. The gravity is amplified,

even from what you're used to
on Xelayah.

The treatments will be painful
at first, very painful.

But you'll be able
to keep your posting.

You're our chief of security
as long as you want to be.

- [DOOR CHIMES]
- Come in.

Hey.

How you feeling?

Not bad.

Claire said you're scheduled

for your first treatment
this afternoon.

That's actually what I came
to talk to you about.

Uh, Captain...

What's wrong?

I've decided not to do the treatments.

Claire said they were painful,
but I didn't think that...

No, it's not that. It's...

Sir, I joined the fleet because
I never really had a family.

And I wanted to belong
to something larger than myself.

Captain, the Orville
has been so much more

than I ever could've wished for.

It was warm. It was welcoming.

I was needed.

You were my family.

You and this entire crew, but...

I found something on Xelayah.

Something I'd only ever seen from afar.

I always thought it was just for
other people, but not for me.

And now I have a chance
to experience it for myself.

I've already missed out
on so much time.

I... I don't want to miss out anymore.

You're going back.

I need to be with my family.

That's two goodbyes so close together.

I won't forget this place.

I promise.

We won't forget you.

And if you ever decide...

that you miss that little chair
on the bridge...

[CHUCKLES]

...it'll be there for you.

This is for you. [LAUGHS SOFTLY]

It's been a pleasure
serving with you, Lieutenant.

Likewise, Captain.
