Return To Earth
With the second season completed, Roy Scheider had opted not to remain with the series for the third season. In the season premiere (set in September, 2032, ten years later), the seaQuest and the majority of its surviving crew complete their return journey to Earth, sent ten years earlier by the Hyperion rebels. Upon returning to Earth, Bridger discovers that he has a grandson named Michael, proving that Robert had faked his death. With new responsibilities to uphold and with the rising climate of conflict in the world in the ten years since their disappearance, Bridger decided that his place was no longer aboard the seaQuest and relinquished command to Captain Oliver Hudson and retired, however, he intended to continue his scientific relationship with the UEO and seaQuest, which would allow Roy Scheider to continue to appear as a recurring character.
