@morphinapg They wrote Alara returning to be very unlikely full time so I wouldn't get my hopes up. However even then they did make it so she could come back as Lamar developed gravity treatment that could keep her strength.
@woffingshire I don't remember what the excuse was for her leaving. So it's something to do with gravity and her species right? But there's another character on the show that's the same species.
@morphinapg due to the low gravity of the ship she started losing her muscle mass and bone density cause her body was meant for high gravity, so she had to go back to her home planet for a while to get her strength back but knew any recovery she had wouldn't be permanent. While she was gone Lamar developed a procedure that could fix her problem on the ship but after spending time at home she decided to stay there rather than go back into space.
So, she could return if they wanted her to but they've kinda written her to not want to come back long term.
@woffingshire Ah yeah now I remember. That's unfortunate. While I like Talla, I liked Alara better.

In case this ends up being the series finale, I'm glad they didn't end it on a cliffhanger, but I hope Disney renews it.
I think the episode was good. It was nice to have a fun episode again after so many serious episodes. I don't think it was as good as those, but the last episode felt more like the epic conclusion to the season while this was more of an epilogue, so that was fine.
Was happy to see Alara return! If the show gets renewed, I would love to see Alara return full time, and Lysella will be an interesting addition to the show as well. Although I have to admit, I didn't remember her previous episode, but I loved the way they gave a great explanation for what is essentially Star Trek's prime directive.
