The ''Orville'' is charting an unusual magnetar. Because it's a tedious task that will take several days, Ed and Gordon are glad to have an excuse to leave the ship as they have to attend a tactical conference at Outpost 23. On the way, however, the two take a detour to investigate an old distress signal and end up marooned on a dying planet.
Aboard the ''Orville'', Kelly finds out that Topa, Bortus' son, is growing rapidly and must now start school despite being only a few months old. This brings her into conflict with the ship's schoolteacher, a very handsome man by the name of Cassius.
