[edit] Life Before Flight 815
Bernard previously lived in Bronx, NY where he was employed as a Dentist. He was confident that planes wanted to be in the air, and reminded his wife, Rose Henderson, of that when they flew. Bernard's fingers swell when he flies because of the altitude, so he insisted that Rose hold on to his ring when they fly. (Pilot - Part 2) / (Walkabout)
Bernard met Rose when he was helping her with car troubles, he helped her car get unstuck from snow, and then she asked him for a cup of coffee, which he accepted. Five months later, at a restaurant, he asked her to marry him. She responded by saying she was dying. He decided to take her to Isaac, a man who helped people cure their terminal illnesses. She reluctantly agreed, and came out saying she was fixed. Bernard did not yet know that she was actually lying. (S.O.S.)
While aboard Oceanic Flight 815, Bernard left his seat at 23E, and left to use the bathroom at the back of plane. While there, the flight attendant notified passengers to return to their seat and fasten their seat belts. Bernard did not make it back to his proper seat when the turbulence began to hit, so he found an empty seat in the Tail Section of the plane. When the plane ripped apart, he and his wife were separated. (The Other 48 Days)

Bernard lands with the tail-section survivors on the other side of the island. He is still buckled into his seat, and stuck atop a tree. He is coaxed down by Ana-Lucia and Goodwin. Bernard grows extremely worried when he cannot find Rose's body. After the Others invade the camp, Bernard finds himself as one of the few remaining survivors. After moving inland, the group discover the Arrow station, where they find an assortment of items, including a radio. Bernard uses it, and makes contact with Boone, who was responding via the beechcraft. Ana-Lucia switches the radio off, dismissing it as a trick by the Others. (The Other 48 Days) / (Deus Ex Machina)

After Michael, Jin and Sawyer arrive, Bernard is reassured that Rose is alive and well. He sets off with the others to migrate with the fuselage survivors. (Everybody Hates Hugo)
On the way, air hostess Cindy suddenly disappears, and Bernard witnesses the accidental death of Shannon. (Abandoned)
Ana-Lucia keeps Bernard and the others from arriving on the beach, but they eventually press on without her; Bernard is then reunited with Rose. (Collision)
Since attending Shannon's funeral, Bernard forgets Rose's birthday, and asks Jin for help finding an oyster. He is then informed by Sawyer that Jin is due to be a father. (The Whole Truth)
Later, Bernard makes preparations to create a giant S.O.S. sign on the beach. After being discouraged by Rose, however, he takes his frustration out on the few people willing to help, until he is reduced to constructing it himself. It is then that Rose admits to lying about being healed on their honeymoon. Bernard abandons the sign when he learns that her illness disappeared on the island.
Bernard also saves Claire from being hit with the hatch door after the implosion. (Live Together, Die Alone)

Bernard and Rose assist in rigging the shelters with wire from the wreckage. However, when Karl arrives on the beach to warn the camp of the Others' imminent arrival, Bernard volunteers to stay behind and detonate the dynamite, much to Rose's concern. (Greatest Hits)
That night, Bernard hits his target, killing a few Others in the ensuing explosion. When the plan backfires, however, Bernard retreats but is caught by Tom.

When Locke proposes to move into the Barracks, Bernard offers his support to Rose if she wanted to go with him, but the two end up staying with Jack and return to the beach. (The Beginning of the End)
Later, Bernard accompanies Jin on a fishing trip. Bernard and Jin talk to each other the current situation on the island. Bernard mentions that Rose had cancer, and that Rose believes that the Island has cured her. Bernard adds that he believed Jack was the right person to side with because Locke is a murderer. Bernard brings up Karma stating that when you do bad, bad things befall you, and when you do good, good things are granted for you. Jin catches a fish, and Bernard believes this to be a sign of Karma. (Ji Yeon)
When the people who arrived from the freighter cannot use their phone they successfully use morse code to contact the boat, Daniel says that the message is that their people are coming to save them all.
