The Orville season 2, episode 12 "Sanctuary"
Written by Joe Menosky, directed by Jonathan Frakes.
Moclan engineers are sent to the Orville to upgrade their weapons in response to the Kaylon threat. Commander Bortus discovers that they are also smuggling precious cargo to their next destination. After they've departed, word of this gets out and Captain Mercer follows them to a previously unknown star system hidden inside a nebula. On one of the planets they discover a coven of Moclan females living in hiding under the leadership of Heveena (Rena Owen). Once the Moclans also discover this sanctuary, Mercer races against time to have the Union formally recognize and protect the refugees before the Moclan government has them extradited as criminals. While this is happening, Bortus must also contend with Topa's disregard for females aboard the ship and Klyden's insistance that he only be taught traditional Moclan values.
