20th Century Fox aired a 20-second trailer for The Road Not Taken at the end of the premiere of Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow.
Act 1
Two figures walk through the forests and snow of Sarin 4, masked and thickly jacketed against the cold, until they find an old Planetary Union Listening Post. The two scour the abandoned building and find a Food Synthesizer, but are interrupted by a Kaylon Interceptor-class Sphere. The sphere disgorges three Kaylon, whose heads detach and pursue the two figures. The two men flee, dodging laser blasts, until they reach their shuttle, ECV-342-1. The two men remove their masks, revealing themsel...
Act 2
Ed and Gordon are unable to jump into "quantum" because their engines are interrupted by Kaylon fire. To buy time to reset the quantum drive, the two enter the hollow of an ice moon. In a cavern, Gordon turns the shuttle around and fires at the cavern's roof. Sheets of ice and rock fall, crushing the sphere. Now in quantum, they set a course for Calivon. Though the Calivon species is extremely dangerous, they are at war with the Kaylon and Ed reasons they can hide on the fringe of Calivon spa...
Act 3
The scavenger ship flies through an asteroid field, a former planet torn apart nearby black hole, and Kelly sights the planet with a Resistance base. Kelly, Ed, John, and Claire venture to the base, leaving Talla and Gordon to look after her sons Ty and Marcus Finn. A quick trek through a forest leads to a camouflaged building. Yaphit answers and recognizes John from the Orville. He leads the four to Lieutenant Alara Kitan.
Writing
The Road Not Taken was written by executive producer David A. Goodman, who conceived of its plot while working on Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow. Goodman explicitly wanted the script to avoid similarities with the episode Second Chances from Star Trek: The Next Generation, where the character William Riker discovers a duplicate of himself, created by a transporter accident years ago. Originally, writers intended Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrowto host a self-contained story that wou...
Filming
Dates of filming this episode are not known, although it is known that second-unit filming continued well into 2019 under the direction of Jon Cassar. The final day of shooting was February 26, 2019. Parts of the episode, particularly the Kaylon attack on the Resistance base, were probably filmed in late June 2018.[n 1]
Post-production
Many of the visual effects and physical simulations were created by Pixomondo, an effects vendor contracted by the show in Season 2, in coordination with visual effects supervisor Luke McDonald. Typically, Pixomondo assigned a team consisting of a supervisor and three artists to each episode, but the intense underwater sequences in the Marianas Trench on Earth required a team of 30.Pixomondo's visual effects producer Daniel Carbo recollected that 1. 1.1. we had our environment team, our light...

Critical response
Critics responded very positively to The Road Not Taken. Nick Wanserski of the AV Clubgave the episode a grade of A-, calling it a "thrilling" conclusion to the season and possibly to the show (Fox had not yet renewed The Orville at this point): 1. 1.1. It’s always impressive to see a finale provide some drama, some spectacle, an emotionally resonant ending that encapsulates the key themes of the show while at the same time (ensuring the favor of the renewal gods) keep things sufficiently ope...
