In the next episode of "The Orville," Commander Kelly Grayson (Adrianne Palicki) and her team search for two missing union anthropologists on a planet just like 21<sup>st century Earth.

The trailer for the upcoming installment titled "Majority Rule," showed Grayson, Lt. Alara Kitan (Halston Sage), and Lt. John LaMarr (J. Lee) in the middle of a mob on an Earth-like planet in search of a couple of anthropologists. However, the situation starts getting tense as one of the people accuse LaMarr of something which has yet to be known. The throng of people raise their phone cameras simultaneously to record them as they try to flee the rowdy mob.

Apparently, Grayson and her team were assigned to look for the missing scientists by Captain Ed Mercer (Seth MacFarlane). Back on the planet, they find out that the society is governed by a voting system where courses of actions are based on the majority rule. One of those actions is punishment and it seems Grayson and her team might be subject to that vote. It remains to be seen what kind of trouble they are in and if they will be able to find the missing anthropologists.

In the last episode, Mercer and Lt. Gordon Malloy (Scott Grimes) disguised themselves as Krill soldiers and went on a mission to retrieve information from a nearby enemy spaceship. Once aboard, they were able to get the data from the Krill guide book. They also came across their plan to bomb a union outpost which Mercer and Malloy thwarted just in time.

They killed all the Krill crew on board and destroyed the bomb. They returned to the U.S.S. Orville safely with the important information.

The next episode of "The Orville" will hit the airwaves on Thursday, Oct. 26 at 9 p.m. EDT on Fox.
