The Orville season 3 "New Horizons", episode 3 "Mortality Paradox"

Written by Cherry Chevapravatdumrong, Directed by Jon Cassar.

"You're an interesting species."

Just as Lieutenant Talla returns to the Orville after some time off, an artificial signal is detected coming from a planet the Union already knows is a barren rock. When they arrive, the planet seems to be host to a well-developed civilization. Unable to reconcile this with every single scan taken of the planet prior, Captain Mercer takes a team to the surface only to find the sprawling cities replaced with dense forests. As they explore further they lose contact with the Orville and come across a 21st century Earth school filled with students. Things only get weirder from there.
