Insights:
- During this episode, Kitan, The Orville’s Chief of security, fails to save a person because she encounters a triggering fire in the line of duty. The episode revolves around fear and Kitan attempting to understand her PTSD triggers and overcoming her fears.
* The Plot twist in the episode is that the whole episode is a simulation she mad for herself as a form of flooding exposure therapy to overcome her phobias. Similar to the possible applications of VR that have been suggested in PTSD and Phobia literature.
