It was also revealed that Derek and Karen Myerson were secretly married before his departure in "A Star for the Window".

In the out-of-continuity fic "A Legend of Rebirth", Derek is shown as a scientist skilled in cloning, as he (with the help of Karen) presents Daria with Night, a clone of Bump created after the cat's natural death at age eighteen.
