To the immense shock of Starbug's crew, they realize that Lister is actually starting to miss Rimmer, who left to become Ace Rimmer. Determined to cure him of this obvious bout of temporary insanity, Kryten sets up the ultimate therapy experience...
to:
The Cat and Lister go through some of their inventory, and find Rimmer's old belongings, which Lister refuses to
Later, as Lister's relaxing in the cockpit, who should return but Rimmer himself. Seems he got bored of being Ace, with the heroism and the being worshipped, and came back to the old gang. He and Lister talk about the new girl, Lister remarking that the woman he's been holding a torch for the last three million years isn't as good as Rimmer. And then things get ''weirder''. Lister and Rimmer embrace, amorously, as David asks Rimmer never leave again. They lean in.
They ''kiss''.
And then Lister wakes up screaming (as do the shippers, but for different reasons).
Having determined there is now something very wrong with Lister, Kryten tries helping him forget Rimmer, but his initial hypnotherapy idea doesn't exactly work. As he goes off to find something more suitable than Hitler's speeches, Kochanski comes into the medbay looking for some medicinal alcohol, to erase the memory of everything she ever loved. Talk between the two comes to those they miss, and Kochanski quickly figures out Lister misses Rimmer (in fairness, the comment about flared nostrils was a dead giveaway). She manages to assure Lister that it was okay to hate the guy, because it was what kept him going. And the guy was a smeghead. Kryten enters, and gets all green-eyed again. Once Kochanski's gone, he's mortified to learn Lister's feeling better. Not because she tried helping Lister, but because she's ''succeeded''.
Some time after, Kryten calls everyone up to the AR machine, having found a way to cure Lister of any lingering nostalgia for Ol' Iron Butt completely: The Rimmer Experience, a tribute to the pain in the ass, derived from Rimmer's own diaries, allowing them to experience the man, the memory, the ego (what little he couldn't tone down). What follows is a jolting roller coaster ride, depicting Rimmer as a (supposedly) brilliant man surrounded by cowards and incompetents, who owe their life to Rimmer's greatest and magnificence. And then, just as everyone's either sick or ready to kill Rimmer, it gets worse...
A song sung by tiny Rimmer munchkins starts up, expounding upon the virtues of Rimmer, as the four can only stare in bewildered shock. As the song ends, they leave the ride. And Lister's takeaway?
-->'''Lister:''' I never want to see or hear from that lying, weasel-minded smegger in my entire life!
