* TheReveal: The planetoid the Dwarfers end up investigating turns out to be Red Dwarf itself; whilst the crew was dealing with the Despair Squid, Kryten's rogue nanobots turned Red Dwarf into a planetoid for safekeeping, and then built their own version to explore the universe with. When Starbug left the ocean moon, they followed the signal of the nano-Red Dwarf, leaving the real thing stranded behind them. Also, the nanobots turn out to have escaped the Dwarfers' search by stopping, allowing themselves to slip into Starbug, which they have been exploring ever since. This leads to them capturing the nanobots as they explore Lister's laundry basket.
