- Lister, missing Rimmer, tries to recall the good times they had together, and fantasizes about Rimmer's return (which leads to Lister's hottest kiss yet). Meanwhile, Kryten's rivalry with Kochanski reaches new heights as the salad cream keeps winding up in the cupboard and pants are found in her socks drawer. The crew are taken on a ride called "The Rimmer Experience," which recounts many outrageously fictionalized events from Rimmer's life on Red Dwarf.—Walsh (R-DBP)
- Kryten is having a hard time settling to Kochanski's presence, Lister has stopped eating spicy food, and Kochanski's laundry has increased Kryten's work time. Starbug flies into the vicinity of a phasing comet, Kochanski suggests flying around it, Lister suggests flying through the tail to get her to the dimensional rift quicker and to her reality. Starbug goes through the tail and is damaged when the controls don't respond, Lister flies out of the tail, Starbug needs to repair meaning the dimensional rift will be gone by the time Kochanski gets there.
The controls didn't work because of all the excess weight on board, Lister goes to the hold to find things to jettison, he invites Cat along accidentally calling him Rimmer. He and the others are surprised by this slip. Down in the hold Lister and Cat are searching through Rimmer's old belongings to throw, Lister doesn't want to as they bring too many happy memories. Kryten walks in and hears about Lister's nostalgia over Rimmer. Some time later Lister is at the pilot seat when Rimmer teleports aboard, he tells of his adventures, Rimmer seems different, a fun, chummy Rimmer, Lister admits he missed him, they embrace and kiss. Lister wakes up in his bunk and realizes there's something wrong with him.
He seeks counselling from Kryten, who provides hypnosis therapy, he inserts the wrong disc and plays a German language course out loud, he leaves to find some hypnosis discs. Kochanski enters looking for some medicinal alcohol to help with being stuck with this crew. She talks with Lister about his relationship with Rimmer, Lister misses him because he hates him, it was his revilement which kept him going and he never knew before, Lister feels a lot better.
The crew, sans Kryten, gather for game night, Kochanski is given the honor of picking the first game, she chooses a game that the others can't fully understand, Kryten walks in and cancels game night, inviting them all to the artificial reality suite, he's created a rollercoaster museum called "The Rimmer Experience", which enacts moments from Rimmer's dairy. The events depict Rimmer as a flawless hero and everyone else as cowardly and incompetent, some scenes offend the crew, the ride ends with Rimmer puppets singing an anthem to Rimmer.
At the end of the ride Lister says he never wants to see or hear from Rimmer again, Kryten's therapy was successful.
