* FreeLoveFuture: Darulio claims that in his society it is actually considered ''rude'' to turn down an offer of sex. Even the humans on the ship have more open attitudes than in real life: for example, Ed being sexually attracted to the alien male who'd slept with his wife is only considered a problem because it's distracting him from his responsibilities.

* FreeLoveFuture: Retepsians apparently have extremely casual attitudes toward sex. Darulio claims that in his society it is actually considered ''rude'' to turn turning down an offer of sex. Even the humans on the ship have more open attitudes than in real life: for example, Ed being sexually attracted to the alien male who'd slept with his wife sex is only considered a problem because it's distracting him from his responsibilities. "rude". He has sex with multiple partners, under circumstances of ambiguous consent, with no regard for orientation or how it would impact other relationships, and genuinely doesn't seem to consider whether this could create problems.

* AmicableExes: With the reveal that Kelly may have been influenced by Darulio's pheremones, from here on Ed basically drops the 'I hate my cheating ex' portion of his interactions with her.

* AmbiguousInnocence: It's left up in the air whether Darulio knowingly used his pheromones to seduce Kelly (again) and Ed, or if he did it by mistake, seeing as they were both telling him that they wanted nothing to do with him prior to being touched. It's ''also'' ambiguous as to whether that ''first'' time with Kelly -- the one that incited the divorce -- was also chemically induced, though Kelly's comments on that incident compared to the current one seem to indicate that it wasn't.

* FreeLoveFuture: Darulio claims that in his society it is actually considered ''rude'' to turn down an offer of sex. Human mores are not anywhere near so relaxed, but even so the attitude seems to mostly be more casual than in real life. For example, Ed suddenly being into Darulio elicits only a bit of surprise from Gordon.

* NotIfTheyEnjoyedItRationalization: Darulio has this attitude about the consent issues raised by the way his pheromones affect other people. In his mind, so long as they end up having great sex where is the harm?

* GettingCrapPastTheRadar: The Dr. Finn-Yaphit sex scene is actually quite explicit for mainstream US network standards, even with the absence of nudity. Especially for those who are familiar with how his body works. Becomes even moreso in hindsight after viewing how he's able to use an appendage to, uh, enter Bortus in "[[Recap/TheOrvilleS1E11NewDimensions New Dimensions]]".

* BizarreAlienBiology: Two examples re Darulio's {{pheromones}}. First is the fact that he produces them once each year, and second is that Yaphit is immune to their effects (but can still transfer them inadvertently).

* BrickJoke: Twice, a reptillian crewmember awkwardly interrupts Ed and Kelly in the elevator, suggesting that music should be playing in the elevator. The second time, Ed irritably suggests that the crewmember do it himself. The third time Ed and Kelly ride the elevator, music can be heard playing inside.
