He kinda has to make another Bernard because he can't just disappear. And Ford can't say "uh...well....Im almost positive Ford has another Bernard around because he went thru with murder to get homie reinstated by theresa only to kill him and have them do an autopsy and see its a host?? Or will just say the nikka resigned for personal reasons?? Ford is too calculating for that plus in the episode bernard said "we had this conversation before"?
Meaning this is him and Ford's real life loop
I need drugs

Fred.
