After playing a practical joke on Yaphit (Norm Macdonald) during Chief Engineer Newton's going away party, Commander Grayson discovers that Lieutenant John LaMarr has a genius-level intellect and wants to place him in the running to be the new Chief Engineer. Captain Mercer initially objects but allows her to test his command abilities by letting him lead the team in charge of investigating a two-dimensional anomaly the ship almost crashed into. Their debate leads Mercer to discovering that Grayson, his ex-wife and acquaintance of Admiral Halsey (Victor Garber), may be the only reason he got command of the Orville in the first place. As he begins to question whether or not he was actually ready for command alongside LaMarr's reluctance to be in a command role in the first place, the Krill suddenly force the Orville into the unknown anomaly with no guarantee of escape.

While navigating a dangerous plasma storm, the Orville takes serious damage. Chief Engineer Newton (Larry Joe Campbell) calls Alara down to Engineering to rescue a trapped crewman. Once down there, Alara freezes when a fireball blocks her path. When she comes to her senses, more debris falls and kills the man before she can reach him. Despite everyone's reassurance and forgiveness, Alara blames herself for his death and decides to quit her position as Chief of Security. Captain Mercer temporarily talks her down and suggests she do some soul searching to understand why she froze at the sight of fire. But just as she starts her investigation, unrealistic yet life-threatening encounters start plaguing her and the rest of the crew.

The Orville is host to two rival species who claim the rights to the same planet. The Union sends an archeologist named Darulio (Rob Lowe) to the Orville to settle the dispute with a forensic analysis of an ancient artifact, not realizing that he has a checkered history with the Captain and Commander. With existing tensions between the two visiting races already running hot, the renewed tensions between Mercer, Grayson and their old acquaintance threaten to shatter an already fragile peace as people on the ship, one by one, start acting out of character.
