I was saddened to see that Lt. Alara is leaving the series. I rather liked her character. It was a good ending for her, and left the door open for a return. However, just from the way things played out, I don't think we will see her in a recurring role.

Agreed. I will miss her sadly.
Can someone please explain to me the hint with this glass of pickles Alara left for the captain in the last scene? I didn't get it.

I didn't get it either so I looked it up. This is a running gag between Ed and Alara. here's a snippet explaining it from heavy.com:
Quote:In case you don’t remember, this jar of pickles actually had quite a bit of significance for Alara and Mercer. Alara is surprisingly strong considering her size because of the gravity of her homeworld. In the pilot episode (Season 1 Episode 1), Mercer can’t open a vault door. So he jokingly asks Alara to “open this jar of pickles for me.” She just knocks over the entire wall instead of turning the vault wheel, which is even more impressive than what we expected. Mercer jokes that he loosened it for her and that’s why she could open the door.
The article also mentioned that this became a running gag between them as Ed asks Alara to open a jar of pickles for him over and over.
Nice to see the actors who played the ship's doctors on Enterprise and Voyager once again.

Thank you!
Obviously I don't remember the first season good enough.
And yes, my husband and I had a good laugh when the second star treck doctor appeared. I was waiting for doctor Bashir from deep space nine to show up too!

You're welcome. I didn't remember it either. I've become a fan of this show. The jokes sometimes fall flat, but the stories are good and the special effects are great, and I really like the shape of The Orville starship.
I recently binged through Deep Space Nine, a series that I could not stomach when it was on the air. During my rebinging one character I really liked was Jadzia Dax. The episodes where she went to fight with the old Klingons from the original Star Trek series were among the best episodes I have ever watched from the franchise because they were so much fun. A lot like this episode with the old Star Trek doctors.
