* DumbassHasAPoint: Lister actually makes a pretty sophisticated argument for why Kryten should learn to lie; in addition to helping him become more independant, lying is part of a person's "psychological defense system", and has it's practical applications.

At Kryten's insistence, Camille turns off this ability, revealing her true form as a big, green, one-eyed blob. While the others are repulsed, Kryten actually finds Camille's true form "kinda cute".

* NonHumanNonBinary: According to Camille, Pleasure [=GELF=]s are androgynous in nature, although she identifies as female in nature and Hector (her husband) identifies as male.
