At the conclusion of Primal Urges, Fox aired a 30-second trailer of Home. It mixes scenes from this episode with Nothing Left on Earth Excepting Fishes and All the World is Birthday Cake.
Act 1
On a Friday night in the Mess Hall, Chief of Security Alara Kitan arm wrestles Isaac. Crew members place bets with their comscanners. Isaac wins when Alara's arm breaks. In Sick Bay, Doctor Claire Finn reports that while Alara's bone will knit in about 30 minutes, she is worried because Alara's muscle mass has decreased by 20 percent and her bone density by five since arriving at the USS Orville. The Chief of Security's strength is rapidly deteriorating.
Act 2
Finn tells Alara that her body is adjusting to Earth-like levels of gravity. She needs to return to her home planet of Xelayato re-acclimate or, eventually, her body will permanently be weaker and frailer. Alara struggles unsuccessfully to lift weights in her quarters. "When I first got here, I could lift 100 kilos more," she tells Captain Ed Mercer. The Captain says that she would not lose her job on the ship but Alara is adamant to return home. After one final look at the Bridge, Alara take...

Ildis rebuffs Mercer for his concern, and the Captain tells Malloy he would like to punch her father for his attitude. Alara is confined to a floating mobility chair. Her sister Solana Kitan joins the family for lunch. Ildis and Drenala hope that Alara will pursue academic studies at the university, and tell...

Many of the ideas in the script are found in early suggestions from supervising producer and science consultant André Bormanis made while in production of Season 1 in 2017. Bormanis proposed to the writing team that Alara's private quarterson the Orville hosts a special device that simulates the high gravity of her planet to prevent her muscles from atrophying, and the gravity device is a reason she has trouble dating men. At the close of Season...
Filming
The cast assembled for a table read of the episode on March 6, 2018 and filming began shortly after under the direction of Jon Cassar during the week of March 13. During the arm wrestling scene, director of photography Marvin V. Rushsuggested placing a device called a 'periscope' on the lens of the camera to make the lens thin and small, allowing the camera to shoot under the arms of Alara and Isaac. All beach scenes were filmed at Leo Carillo State Beach in Los Angeles, California. Rain dren...
