No One Wants an Argument About Reality

After five long months, the passengers of Avenue 5 eagerly await their impending return to Earth while behind the scenes, Ryan and the crew struggle to find a way to reveal the much longer timeline of their journey home. Later, a disgraced Karen comes to blows with a newly famous Frank.

Is It a Good Dot?

Let's Play With Matches

After a failed revolt, the passengers put the ship's leadership to a vote, bringing forth a pack of unlikely candidates. Meanwhile, back on Earth, the Office of the Other President proposes a plan that could spell doom for Avenue 5.

Intoxicating Clarity

With a "new" leader at the helm, life on deck reaches a semi-status quo -- until the discovery of a mysterious blip and dissident uprising threaten to upend the passengers' tenuous peace. Later, life imitates art as the shocking conclusion of TV's Avenue 5 puts those aboard the real ship in peril.

I Love Judging People

The crew turns to a Judd-designed ranking algorithm to deal with their latest threat. As Ryan's rating mysteriously tanks, Billie searches for her more worthy counterpart, and Judd attempts to make amends with an estranged Iris.

That's Why They Call It a Missile

With the ship divided, both sides find themselves in an all-out fight to survive. Then, Ryan takes part in a shotgun wedding, and Rav reaches a personal breakthrough.
