|ShortSummary = Nearly a year after the original timeline was altered, the Kaylon have conquered half the known galaxy. Ed and Gordon survive by scavenging supplies on different planets. After barely escaping the Kaylon, their ship is captured by Kelly, who has reunited the ''Orville'' officers, minus Bortus and Isaac, from her original timeline. Kelly explains that because her memory wipe failed, she and Ed never married and neither served aboard the ''Orville''. Claire also did not join the crew, and without her and Isaac's romantic relationship, he never defected to the Union, resulting in the Kaylons’ annihilating Earth. Kelly intends to correct her memory wipe. Redoing the procedure requires obtaining Isaac's time-travel research from the ''Orville'' and finding a synthesized key protein that Kelly's brain is deficient in. The crew obtains the protein from a resistance cell led by Alara Kitan, and salvages the ''Orville'' from the bottom of the [[Marianas Trench]] in the Pacific Ocean. Bortus is found aboard, having survived on minimal life support after safely evacuating the crew. After the ''Orville'' returns to space, John uses a captured Kaylon body to remotely access Isaac's memory banks, but this exposes the ship's location. With the Kaylon closing in, Jon overloads the ship's systems to send Claire into the past. The ''Orville'' is destroyed, but Claire successfully goes back in time and erases Kelly's memories; Claire disappears, and Kelly accepts a second date with Ed.

Reception

On Rotten Tomatoes, season 2 has a 100% approval rating with an average rating of 7.5/10 based on 12 reviews. The website's critic consensus states: "Fun, focused, and surprisingly thoughtful, The Orville's second season makes good use of its talented crew."[19]

Will Harris of The Verge praised the two-part episode "Identity", which ran on February 21 and 28, as a sign that the series was maturing into "serious science fiction" that would appeal to a wider audience. Harris noted that the series had also toned down the "dodgier" side of its humor while still maintaining sporadic 21st-century popular cultural references.[20]
