Further details

After finding a test tube of sexual magnetism virus while looking for some confidential files, Rimmer decides to try it out. Lister, Cat, Kochanski and Kryten are all in a state of artificial reality as part of their trial for crimes against the space corps, and their every move is being watched. While they believe they are escaping from Red Dwarf, they are in fact just reacting to many situations that were programmed in by Captain Hollister.

Also, Kryten is repaired by the crew and restored with his factory settings. This is extremely bad news for the Dwarfers because it means he loses all of his character faults that made him him. It turns out there was no need to worry, however, as he quickly snaps back into character with a simple jog of his memory by Cat, Lister and Kochanski!
