The Orville season 3 "New Horizons", episode 1 "Electric Sheep"

Written & Directed by Seth MacFarlane.

The Orville is docked at Earth for a complete overhaul of the ship and its systems. Commander LaMarr has to shut down Isaac's new science lab to allow for some upgrades, so Isaac decides to spend the time in the mess hall talking with the crew. Except that the crew now largely wants nothing to do with him, especially the new operations officer; Ensign Charly Burke (Anne Winters). She tells Isaac in no uncertain terms that everyone wants him off the ship. This includes Doctor Finn's older son; Marcus, who thinks Isaac is a murderer and tells him to his face that he wishes he were dead. After considering these candid remarks, Isaac does what he thinks is the most logical course of action - he intentionally shuts himself down and wipes his memory core with a focused power surge.
