The Orville season 1, episode 5 "Pria"

Written by Seth MacFarlane, directed by Jonathan Frakes.

While watching TV, the crew of the Orville receives a distress call from a comet hurling towards a star. On that comet they find Captain Pria (Charlize Theron) trapped on her crashed mining ship and rescue her in the nick of time. She thanks everyone (Captain Mercer in particular), but Commander Grayson can't shake the feeling that something is off about her. Meanwhile, Gordon tries to explain practical jokes to Isaac.

Originally released: 5 October 2017

Exactly. She’s a scavenger, not a scientist. She took something as amazing as time travel and used it to get rich. She just understood how to travel through it and was blustering in the hopes Ed wouldn’t do something that affected her.

Neither of them really understood what would happen, but they both had their own hopes and fears.

And you see it in Ed’s face after it’s over. He hasn’t forgotten her. So hopefully that also means he grew up a little.
