Six people awaken aboard a spaceship without knowing who they are or what they have done. Giving themselves numbers in place of names offers a temporary solution, but each new discovery threatens the trust they are trying to build. Two emerges as a leader whose abilities and instincts suggest a history she cannot yet explain. In the third season, revelations about her earlier life as Rebecca include a consequential relationship with scientist Irena Shaw. That history also changes how the crew understands its Android companion. The science-fiction ensemble connects questions about memory and personhood to a queer love story whose importance reaches beyond a forgotten romance and into the origins of Two's present life.
