The Orville season 1, episode 11 "New Dimensions"

Written by Seth MacFarlane, directed by Kelly Cronin.

After playing a practical joke on Yaphit (Norm Macdonald) during Chief Engineer Newton's going away party, Commander Grayson discovers that Lieutenant John LaMarr has a genius-level intellect and wants to place him in the running to be the new Chief Engineer. Captain Mercer initially objects but allows her to test his command abilities by letting him lead the team in charge of investigating a two-dimensional anomaly the ship almost crashed into. Their debate leads Mercer to discovering that Grayson, his ex-wife and acquaintance of Admiral Halsey (Victor Garber), may be the only reason he got command of the Orville in the first place. As he begins to question whether or not he was actually ready for command alongside LaMarr's reluctance to be in a command role in the first place, the Krill suddenly force the Orville into the unknown anomaly with no guarantee of escape.
