The Orville crew have the honor of taking Bortus back to his home world, Moclus, for an important ritual. Meanwhile, Grayson has a date and Mercer tends his heartache. Relationships and food synthesizers run amok when we put "Ja'loja" into the Mission Log.

Join us each week for a discussion of the themes, morals and messages in each episode of "The Orville." Follow @ML_TheOrville on Twitter and be sure to check out podcasts.roddenberry.com
