The Orville: New Horizons season 2 episode 12, titled "Sanctuary," follows the crew of the Orville as they encounter a group of aliens seeking refuge from their home planet. The aliens, known as the Xelayans, are a large and powerful species who are being forced to leave their planet due to political turmoil and war.

The Xelayans are led by Teleya, a strong and determined leader who is fighting for her people's survival. She and her followers are seeking asylum on a planet known as Moclus, which is known for its open and welcoming policy towards refugees. However, when the Orville arrives on Moclus, they find that the planet's leaders are hesitant to grant asylum to the Xelayans, fearing that it could lead to an influx of refugees and strain on their resources.

Captain Ed Mercer and his crew must use diplomacy and negotiation to convince the Moclan leaders to allow the Xelayans to stay on the planet. Along the way, they also face resistance from some of the Orville crew members, who are skeptical of allowing the Xelayans onto their ship and potentially putting themselves at risk.

As tensions rise and time begins to run out for the Xelayans, the crew of the Orville must work quickly and efficiently to find a solution that satisfies all parties involved. "Sanctuary" is a thought-provoking episode that tackles issues of immigration, politics, and morality in a unique and engaging way. With its blend of drama, humor, and science fiction, The Orville continues to captivate audiences and push the boundaries of what a sci-fi show can be.
