@misnomer If you take the goodbye scene it sure looks the producers don't expect her back. From what I read there seem to be issues with conflicting schedules on Sage's side. Like I've written in my comment I think she's done as a regular and will become a guest star. Very sad, huge loss for the show.
@finfan that sure is sad news, as she's one of the most interesting characters of the show. I like the new chief of security, but he seems to be just a two dimensional character who's there just for the laughs.
@misnomer I doubt he'll even be there for the next episode. Looks very much like a stand-in to me.

Robert Picardo, again! Please, more Star Trek guest stars!
I would have never expected to see someone from The Vampire Diaries in this show, but there she was, the actress who played Carolyn, still looking like a sight for sore eyes... Teehee!
They switched gears for this episode and gave us a more serious, emotional one, focusing on Alara and her relationship with her dad. It worked, it was definitely a step-up from those average two episodes of this season, but I hope to see The Orville's typical, well-balanced humour back, soon (and definitely not the cringeworthy one we had in the previous two episodes). That new chief of security is sick!
So... Is the actress who plays Alara leaving the show? Because it sure looks like it.
