### Season 1

The mission was supposed to take six months – three months to Pi Canis Majoris and three months back. Assuming all went according to plan. A month into the journey and Niko is awoken from Soma sleep. She's been awoken because the Salvare hasn't yet reached Pi Canis Majoris.

Apparently, the scientists on Earth got the incorrect coordinates for the system – it will now take around seven more months to get there. William, the holographic computer (AI), informs Niko of all this.

Ian Yerxa was the previous captain of the ship, so there's a bit of tension around the leadership now that Niko's been put in charge. Most of the rest of the crew have worked under Ian and are ‘feeling a little awkward’ with this new situation.

The argument about the ship's course upsets some of the crew, especially Michelle Vargas, who feels that Ian should challenge Niko more. The crew can't seem to get along with each other, forget with their new leader.

Unfortunately for Niko, the crew backs Ian's play – they stage a mutiny and put her into Soma sleep. Niko puts up one hell of a fight and it was only Ian's backhanded tactics that got the better of her.

Ian threatens William, the computer, into following his orders. In fact, Ian seems to have considerable sway over most of his crew. Zayn Petrossian, the ship psychologist, isn't given much choice in declaring whether Niko is unfit to command or not. Sasha Harrison, the government representative aboard the ship, is put on the spot to recognise Ian's leadership. It's all hasty and rash, and despite William's attempted rebellion, he must follow Ian's orders now.

William changes course towards Sirius A and Ian commands the engineer, August, to engage the shield. Though the shield works, the flares damage the FTL (faster-than-light) drive and the ship is basically unable to fly away from the star. While Niko is peacefully dreaming of being back home with Erik and her daughter Jana, the Salvare is being torn apart.

In a panic, August wakes Niko up and she immediately takes control of the situation. Banishing Ian from the bridge, Niko takes manual control of steering and slingshots off the star to safety.

Niko may have saved everyone, but the ship has sustained plenty of damage. All comms are down and the Soma system is offline. There are replacement crew members asleep, and they aren't affected, but no new chambers can be activated.

Niko tells the crew of the Salvare that she killed Ian because he was a threat, which worries most of them and causes them to get angry. Bernie and Javier support her and Niko reminds them of the mission, but Michelle calls her a murderer and wants to throw her out of the ship. There is a crash and they start losing oxygen.

William tells Niko and Michelle that they have a planet which is different that what they were used to, but she asks Javier and Bernie to go outside and do visual inspection. Bernie asks why, when she could send August or Oliver and she tells him that they would go mine for ringwoodite, which contains hydrogen and oxygen.

Javier and Bernie check the planet out and the latter wants to grab a soil sample, but Javier does not want him to. There is an earthquake, but William tells them not to worry because the rift valley was very far away. Niko tells them to hurry up, so as not to be there longer than needed and tells Michelle to take a break because she was not doing all right.

Javier sees Bernie far away and is hit by a rock. He sees a moon rising and warns Niko. William says they missed it because it was in a low orbit. Niko instructs him and Bernie to get back on board. However, Bernie is busy collecting soil samples. Javier berates him and they run towards the Salvare, due to all the magna being pulled by the moon's gravity.

On the Salvare, Niko and Zayn carry Petra, who was still having a seizure, which Zayn believes to be odd. Niko asks if they brought something back from the planet they visited, but Petra interrupts asking them to throw her out of an airlock.

Later August wonders if they had a virus or bacteria, and when Bernie walks into the room, Michelle tells him to back off because he had brought soil samples on board. Niko calms everybody down, and Zayn tells them that Petra's stress hormones were all elevated. Michelle tells Niko that comms were still down, but William points out that they had Sirius A as a reference point, which Niko tells him to move them towards. She tells the team to help out and gets them moving.

Julian is woken up; he asks what the soil samples Bernie had gathered contained. He tells Bernie that boron under the right circumstances can provide basic building blocks of life.

Bernie talks to Julian, telling him that he was heating up the sample a bit too fast. Julian makes fun of him, which angers Bernie, but the former tells him that if he had been woken up before, he would have followed the decontamination rules. Bernie is still mad, but Julian asks him if it can wait until after he told everyone that he had isolated the virus.

Later, Michelle tells Bernie to let her go because Niko wanted to kill them, but she is put to sleep by Zayn.

Julian tells Niko about the virus, and Zayn tells her that there were a huge spectrum of potential symptoms. Julian was excited because it was the first non-carbon life form ever discovered and decided to name it *Bernardium Pageius* because he was the source. Julian takes his suit off and tells Bernie that he was infected the moment he had woken him up from soma.

They start talking about what to do with the virus. Julian says that they need to vent the infected atmosphere and contents into space, but Bernie does not like the idea because he thinks it's mass suicide. Niko tells him that the virus would kill them all, but he tells them that he is resistant and tells them to use him as their guinea pig so he could fix his wrong. Niko tells them to enjoy their last moments, and says that she wishes there was another way. Julian asks Bernie if he meant what he said and takes him away. William reassures Niko, telling her that they do not know if what happened to Petra would happen to her, but she says that it would.

Julian tells Bernie that he does not have a lot of time to cure everyone, but would try anyway. Julian's vaccine is working on Bernie, but tries it on himself as well because he does not have the same resistance. Bernie tries to stop him, but Julian injects himself and says he feels warm. He starts feeling the blister Petra had forming and runs into the cell where Petra was, telling Bernie to take his notes and press the button. Bernie resists at first, but after some convincing, Bernie blasts him off into space.

Bernie keeps working on the cure when William tells him that it is time, but Bernie refuses to let a virus ruin the mission. Later, Bernie shows William how the infected cells were disappearing.

Niko tells the team that she could not believe that they were defeated by something they could not see. Michelle apologizes to Niko for what she had done, and Niko apologizes back. They walk into an air duct, but Bernie tells everyone that he has a cure - gamma rays, so they fly towards Sirius B and open the crows nest.

Zayn and William tell everyone that there was no sign of the virus. However, William tells them that gamma radiation is very dangerous and everyone has been sterilized. Everybody has mixed feeling about this, but Bernie says that Julian fought for nothing. However, Niko comforts him and tells reminds him that the biggest sacrifice was signing up for the mission.

As they move, they hear steps and roaring. They open a door and stumble upon Javier, Zayn, Oliver, Bernie and Michelle. They have an argument, but Niko tells them that they needed to stick together. She remembers when a racoon went into their house and tells them that they should shoot the alien into space using the airlock. As Niko moves forward, the crew is torn apart by the alien. She traps Cas and the alien in the airlock, who swiftly kills her. After this, Niko goes back into soma.

August refuses to eat because she wants to check the somatic interface. Michelle tries to grab a plate to eat, but Bernie does not let her take it. Cas tells them that she was in charge until Niko wakes up and Michelle tells her that their sensors picked up a moon. Bernie is excited because they need food, but Cas tells her to stay on course.

Bernie tells Cas that they were going to run out of food, but Cas tells Bernie that it would be a 4 light year detour, which Bernie does not like.

The crew of the Salvare reach the moon. Niko tells them to pump water - even Sasha, who complains. Bernie is wearing a full body suit so as to protect himself from viruses and even though William had done a full scan of the moon, Bernie was not going to risk encountering another boron-based lifeform. Zayn convinces him to take his mask off and Cas and Niko go visit the Artifact. Cas wonders if Niko questions her navigation, but she simply replies that she did not see the lights.

Bernie wonders why there is no animal life and Sasha starts blasting music. Niko tells Bernie and Zayn to go get food while Sasha begins contacting the planet in Spanish. Niko then approaches Cas and tells her that they should speak privately, but Cas does not listen.

Bernie and Zayn analyze food. Bernie rubs it on her arm and they see no reaction. He rubs it on her lips and they see no reaction either. Zayn gives it a try and finds out the food was disgusting.

Zayn asks Niko and Cas if Sasha had made progress, but they reveal that they had left him alone. Bernie thinks that is ridiculous, but has an animal jump on him and surprise him, which makes him fall and cut himself a little. They keep walking and Bernie hates the food Zayn hated too. All of a sudden. Bernie's leg gives out and is green, so Zayn tries to disinfect it, which causes Bernie to go through a lot of pain.

Niko and Cas look for Sasha, but do not find him. Suddenly he walks back to them and tell them that he had a weird dream. Zayn and Bernie walk over to them. Bernie tells them that he is growing a tree in his leg and Zayn tells them that they need to move him to the ship before he died. As they moved to the Salvare, Sasha walked behind them very slowly. Zayn notices something moving below ground and they start running as a spider-like creature approaches them. Cas shoots the animal and Niko tells Sasha to run, as more of the aliens approached them. However, they managed to make it back to the Salvare.

Bernie and Zayn are together, when Sasha walks into the room. They offer their condolences about Michelle. Sasha tells Zayn to not show him his results since he was feeling like a better version of himself. When they both leave, Sasha looks at his brain scan and deletes the file.

Cas and William go over food rations, while Sasha listens. Cas complains about the mess and stops Bernie from grabbing extras. Sasha asks if the storage modules were not full of food and Cas tells him that they were taking precautions. Sasha is worried about entering dark matter and says that they should figure out how to defend themselves.

Bernie tells Sasha that he knows he is stressed out and offers him a smoke of the plants that had drugged Niko and Cas. This worries Sasha, but Bernie tells him that it was fine. Sasha complains about William being a pain in the ass, which Bernie agrees with. Sasha says that they should not be at his mercy, which caused Michelle's death and wanted to turn him off. Bernie offers him the drug and Sasha smokes it.

August says that she feels claustrophobic not knowing where they were going, but Oliver says that it was alright. Sasha asks Bernie if he can sit with everyone and gives them a salad. There is a lot of food on the table in order to do intermittent fasting. Niko says that they have to ration, which everybody is okay with.

Zayn tells Bernie that the entire crew's hormone levels were up, as well as their heart rates. Zayn supposes that dark matter raises serotonin and is proud that ze discovered it because ze could cure ADHD, depression and anxiety, even winning the Nobel Prize, which ze rushes to tell Niko.

Cas asks Niko if she does not trust her, but Niko tells her that she does. Zayn and Bernie approach them, which makes Bernie point out that not everybody was happy. Javier asks who was happy and Bernie tells him that everybody. Javier grabs Zayn's tablet and sees that August and Oliver's oxytocin levels were high and asks why, to which Zayn simply responds that it is a human sex hormone.

Beauchamp asks Sasha if he thought what he had put into the salad was oregano, and Sasha simply says that he had raided Bernie's stash. Bernie says that he has that plant because he needs help sleeping, so he self-medicates. August complains that now he had self-medicated everybody, so Niko tells him to use his head. Niko says that they should use different things to try to flush the drugs out, but William advises against it. Oliver says that both him and August could not have hallucinated the same thing, but Beauchamp tells him that what they saw were electrically charged, cold hydrogen particles.

August, Oliver and Javier start dancing together as Bernie approaches Zayn, who he describes as "sulky," and ze says that ze would never be in the DSM because it was not dark matter which affected them, but drugs. Bernie tells hir that they should dance and kisses hir, and ze kisses him back.

Javier is brought to Zayn's lab, but William is still away. Everybody thinks Sasha is probably sleeping off the drugs, but August mentions that he did not have any and refused to take part in the experiment. Niko tells Bernie to go with her to the mess hall.

Niko and Bernie watch as everybody eats the salad, but notice how Sasha did not eat any. She is called to medical by Zayn. Zayn tells Niko that ze found Sasha's CT scan in her deleted files, which contained something not human. Niko calls for Beauchamp while August tells them that something had locked her out of the observation deck and goes to get them back online with Oliver. Niko tells Zayn to bring Javier back.

An alarm starts sounding and August says that the temperature in the particle accelerator was elevating, but she was stuck. Zayn and Bernie are in the lab, which was getting hot. However, Sasha turned off the comms and was trying to make the ship blow up. Niko understands why the aliens would choose Sasha, but focuses on getting August to the particle accelerator, telling Cas to focus on Sasha.

Zayn tells Bernie that they needed to open a door and run, but are not able to thanks to the heat.

Bernie hears the gurgling and is hit with sewage from a soma chamber, which Niko uses to tell them to use hazmat suits in order to go to particle accelerator and turn the cooling system back on, which he agrees to do.

Niko says that she would go and try a plan B in case Bernie did not make it and turns William on, but he looks different due to an error. Niko believes that he needed to be backed up, but William says that those files are no longer available. Niko tells him that he does not need permission to come back and tries to convince him to come back and she apologizes.

Zayn asks Bernie what they should do after everything was over and Bernie says that he could go for a shower. Zayn says that a massage could be an option, but Bernie knew that ze was only comforting him because he would die and regretted not loving hir sooner.

Bernie walks into the particle accelerator and reengages the cooling systems successfully, which Sasha recognizes as a challenge and reengages the cooling systems. Bernie and Sasha go back and forth until Bernie electrocutes the system and himself at the same time, severing the connection to the cooling systems.

Zayn finds Bernie on the floor and does not find a pulse, so ze starts CPR, which manages to wake him up.

Sasha is taunted by the hallucination, telling it to get out of his head. Zayn says that if Sasha died, ze could study the Achaian object on his brain, but Bernie says that it was not his fault. Zayn says that Javier and Azami did not ask to die and would not let the Achaians put something in hir head ever. Sasha tells Bernie that Zayn is right and begs him to kill him.

Sasha starts having a seizure and Zayn rushes in to help him. However, she is grabbed by the throat by Sasha, who tells Bernie to kill him or he would kill Zayn since he did not want to be a guinea pig. Sasha says that they could not work it out and Bernie shoots him.

Zayn visits Bernie in his room and thanks him for saving hir, but he says that he owed hir one. He starts checking hir neck, but ze tells him that ze is okay, and they start having sex.

### Season 2

Bernie and Zayn work on something for Javier's head, but Zayn wonders if it will work. Bernie tells hir that they would be all right and then he would like to take hir on a date.

As Niko moves forward, she loses contact with the Salvare, which William says he is unable to fix. Bernie asks if they would send something, but Richard says that it is a negotiation. Tensions rise on the Salvare, but Cas calms everybody down. Cas asks Javier to make sure Iara's confinement was rock solid and wants to go out to finish what August and Oliver started, but Richard suggests that they should not leave Javier and Iara alone.

Bernie works on a rock that he cannot cut through and tells Richard that it was indestructible. Richard says that he was not planning on rescuing Niko yet since they still did not know if it was even necessary. Bernie and Richard find that Cas and Niko are both very emotionally attached, which Richard finds dangerous if things went south.

Cas turns around and sees that Niko is marrying Bernie and Zayn and tells the Achaia to stay away from her. Anthony assures her that they only want her to be happy, so she asks to be taken to the Salvare with Niko and also tells them to get the Artifact off the Earth. However, the Achaia tells her that they need her voice on Earth. However, Cas does not accept because of all the pain they had caused and wonders why they would ask her for permission to put an implant in her since they wanted to destroy Earth. However, the Achaian tells her that they wanted to restore Earth, but she reminds him of the Zakir. The Achaian asks her to imagine how Earth would have been without humanity's problem and asks her to imagine that version of Earth.

In Cas's simulation, Bernie and Zayn's wedding was still ongoing, but Cas was not sure about the events. She turns and sees everybody dead, but she knows that it was not real. Anthony tells her that not everybody would go home alive and wonders who else she would have to lose if there was even an Earth when she got home. He tells her that she would never have to feel alone again if she just said yes, but he suddenly dies.

As the Salvare heads towards the Achaian vessel, Richard tells everybody that the magnetar proves that the Achaia are not invincible. Dillion says that if they could weaponize it, they would have the best weapon in the universe. Richard says that they need to analyze it and Bernie points out that they have a piece of the Artifact on the ship, which meant that they could a real-time analysis of the molecular structure when the next blast hit them, which William says could be at any given moment. However, when Bernie and Richard reach the piece of the Artifact, they find it turned to dust.

Richard realizes that they could use Javier to analyze the next blast, but Zayn tells him that Javier is a member of the crew and Bernie wonders if the implant had turned to dust. However, Zayn tells them that it had not turned to dust and it appeared that the immune system appeared to be shielding it. She tells Richard that removing Javier's implant was criminal since he was not dead. Richard says that they could not play defense and Bernie supports him, saying that they could save lives. Richard says that it was not a discussion and tells Zayn that if ze did not do the surgery, he would wake up a doctor who would.

Bernie tries supporting Zayn, but ze tells him not to talk since ze was busy doing keyhole brain surgery. Ze starts touching the thing in Javier's head, which wakes him up and he starts pushing everyone. He walks up to Zayn, but Bernie distracts him until Dillion punches him from behind his back and they hold him down, while Richard removed the small bug. Javier instantly falls and Richard says that his sacrifice would not be in vain.

William tells Bernie and Richard that the magnetar had unleashed another energy burst. The impact is big and William informs them that it had started to degrade their mainframe and they could not withstand another impact that size. They see that the Achaian technlogy had been turned to dust, but Bernie calls it neutrinos, which the Achaia were not resistant to. Richard realizes that they could make a weapon and tells them that they could jump. Bernie protests that Niko and Cas were on the ship, but William does not pick up any signs of life.

Bernie looks at Javier, who is breathing. Zayn tells him that his respiratory system was working, which gives Bernie hope, but Zayn says that there was not a lot of hope for him. Ze tells Bernie that when the tech was ripped out of his brain, it was turned to pulp, but Bernie says that it was the best decision. Zayn tells him that they had sacrificed Javier's future and they do not even know if it was worth it.

Bernie asks Zayn if ze needs any help and offers hir breakfast, but ze tells him that ze is trying to fix his mess and asks him if he knows what he did, but he says that he believed it was the right thing to do. Cas tells Bernie that she would be waking up more crew, so she goes there.

Bernie and Cas wake up the colonist and tell her about the planet they had found.

On the new planet, Cas, Bernie and Paula set up. Cas asks if they could farm nearby, but is told that there could be flooding. Cas says that she had not been looking for the planet, but Paula tells her that she had found out about Ian. She tries convincing Cas to live on that planet and help her out.

Bernie tries reaching out to the *Salvare*, but gets no response as the team makes camp. Cas and Paula try coming up with a name for the planet, but Bernie is against that idea because he did not want to stay on the planet. Paula finds copper, which she says could help them make many things and injects Cas in order to tell her that she was pathogen-free. She tries to do the same for Bernie, but he does not want to comply since it had been three days. Cas convinces him that it was all okay and Paula calls her a natural talent at colonizing. Unbeknownst to them, they were being watched.

Cas, Bernie and Paula make it back on the Salvare and tell Niko that they were doing okay. The new William presents himself while Zayn greets Bernie, but Paula needs hir to check a creature's blood and run tests on it. Niko asks them what they got, and Cas mentions that it seems they had found the future.

Bernie, Niko, and William figure they will need to ration food because of the new crew that had been awoken. Niko tells William that they needed to try to improve Gabriel's way home and he leaves. Richard asks Niko if she feels like telling Erik that she was on her way home.

Bernie works when Zayn walks in. He talks to hir for a bit and suggests that both of them co-shack together, which ze is not sure of. Bernie says that ze had said some horrible things to him and Zayn agrees. However, ze admits ze was angry, but was happy he is back. After talking about it a little, ze kisses him.

On the Salvare, the crew is having a rough ride through the wormhole, but William tells Cas that they were orbiting Jupiter. Cas sees that Richard is not there with them, which Dillon finds meant that he was gone. William wants to open comms with Earth, but Cas does not allow him to do so because they need to get information to the right hands. Bernie says that they probably had already detected them, but Cas tells William to protect them from that.

Erik says that they had witnessed an entire ecosystem show up in weapons, proving that the Achaia had proven their good intentions. Cas, William, Bernie, Zayn, and Dillon watch the transmission and confirm that Earth was still fine, but they needed a plan to cloak data containing the information which included weaponizing neutrinos against Achaian tech and Cas wants to know if they would be returning in a good or bad way. Iara does not show up when they call her.

Cas asks if Iara had been contained and William says that she was currently thinking that she was going to outer space, which Bernie confirms as a working trick. Cas asks what would happen if Iara found out she was just being sandboxed, but William tells her not to worry about it now even though he could feel her.

William tells Cas, Bernie, Zayn, and Dillon that he would be fine without them because he had to wake people out of soma. Cas tells them that they should keep information about Achaia vulnerability between them until they could figure out how to use it.

Cas, Dillon, Zayn, and Bernie make it back to Earth, where Bernie and Zayn talk about meeting hir mom. Mackenzie welcomes the crew of the Salvare, who get ready to see their loved ones, except for Cas. Zayn is told by hir father that hir mother had a disease.

Zayn, Dillon, Bernie, and Cas are brought to hidden, underground rooms, which Zayn calls illegal since they were being held there against their will. Cas asks to speak to whoever is in charge or a lawyer, but is ignored. When she walks into her room and sees a letter from the president thanking her for her service. However, she is locked into her room.

Dillon, Cas, Bernie get together in the cafeteria, which Bernie says is unfair. Dillon complains about USIC's new reintegration procedure. Zayn joins them and they say that they need to make it through the exit interviews. Zayn is a little distracted, but says ze is doing fine.

Erik tells Cas that he would conduct her exit interview. He asks why Javier had come home brain dead. Dillon says that Sasha and his Achaian implant had done that to Javier. Zayn says that ze took a chance with the surgery, which worked until they encountered the magnetar. Bernie says that while the implant was protecting Javier, it was also being destroyed faster than it could be repaired. Cas explains that they did not leave the magnetar because both Niko and herself were still on the Achaian ring at the time. They thought it would be best to remove Javier's implant since it was deteriorating, but Zayn says that they were not able to determine why. Erik says that it does not make sense and knows that something happened around the magnetar and tells Cas that all he wants is to complete Niko's mission. Cas tells him that they had all made sacrifices and leaves.

Zeyn tells Bernie, Dillon, Cas, and Erik that she remembers the magnetar, but they know that Seth had gone into their brains to retrieve information. Zayn apologizes for having given information in order to save hir mother. Cas says that the Achaia had also offered her something, so she understands. Bernie says that the Achaia are helping them, but Dillon says that they need to follow Niko's orders. However, Bernie thinks Niko is dead; Erik tells him that Niko died so he could be there. They say that William is who knows all the information they need, so they say that they will race Seth in order to get there first.

Zayn is approached by Bernie, who tells hir to not beat hirself up, since ze was only trying to save hir mom, but Bernie admits to weakness when ze had judged Sasha. Bernie tells hir that ze is human, which is not a bad thing.

USIC shows up at the hotel, so Erik gathers Cas, Dillon, Zayn, and Bernie so they could go. Erik tells them that they were going after them since they had talked to him. Cas wonders if they could download William, but Dillon says that the only people with that kind of storage capacity was USIC, so Bernie suggests the Salvare's supply shuttles.

Dillon, Zayn, and Bernie film a video where they say they are being chased by USIC. Dillon tells Mackenzie he is impressed by how fast they found them, but she simply tells them that they are sabotaging everything, which Zayn says is a good thing because they had seen that relationship. Dillon tells Mackenzie that Seth had wiped their memories and murdered people, but she simply asks where Erik and Cas were. Zayn says that they were dead if they revealed it.

Niko tries contacting the Salvare, but does not get through. Richard asks if they could delay they delay the Achaia by nuking them, but Mackenzie says that the Joint Chiefs would refuse to do that. Zayn, Bernie and Dillon approach Niko, who tells them the Achaia had reached them. When asked if she knew for sure that Earth is the target, she simply leaves the tent and tries contacting the Salvare.

Cas tells Erik and Ursula that she needs the weapon, but they are not ready. Niko tells Cas, Erik, and William to abandon ship, but in the sky, they see a big explosion, which shocks her, Richard, Zayn, Bernie, and Dillon.

Niko, Richard, Bernie, Zayn, and Dillon are all in shock as they see that the Salvare had been blown up by the Achaia. Everybody is happy that the neutrino bomb had worked, and Niko asks if it could work again, but William says that they do not have enough time. Mackenzie asks what they could do now, and Cas says that there was only one way to find out, which would be using Seth.

William tells the crew that their coding was DNA, but they now had an analysis into the Achaia at a microscopic level. Zayn asks if it was a model of their DNA, but is told that it was a real scan. Ze sees that the characters were an actual part of the makeup of the Achaia, which was odd. Bernie asks why the Achaia need a written language, which makes Erik think that those things were not the Achaia, but William's evolution. Cas wonders what the Achaia really are and wonder if the real Achaia had been killed off. Niko dismisses that as unimportant and says that they need to fight them. Dillon suggests using a computer virus, which Erik says could be possible. Zayn mentions a flesh and blood version of a trojan horse and says that they could implant the virus into one of them.

Cas gets ready to have the virus implanted, but William says that they are having trouble implanting it, but it could be done later. Bernie and Zayn disagree, but William says that the Achaian only has moments left. However, the crew is out of options. In the meantime, Niko leaves.

Bernie and Ursula say goodbye to William. She tells him that she would not abandon him, however, since she had done that with Gabriel.

Bernie tells Zayn that he could have never left his husband or daughter and Zayn asks him to marry hir. Ze says that ze wants kids and to get married, which Bernie accepts.
