Kristine Kochanski is trying to get back to her own dimension, as she is having a hard time adjusting to life on a "Boys ship", and finds a possible link-way back but only has hours to get there. Meanwhile, Kryten is still jealous of the relationship that she could potentially have with Lister, but he is angrier at the effect that her presence is having on his running of the ship: from the massive workload of extra laundry, which he cannot fathom, to a continuing issue with salad cream. Whilst venting at him over the issue, Lister questions his unfamiliarity with women's laundry given his experience with the female crew on the Nova 5, but Kryten explains that when he was emptying his cache files to create memory, he discarded his lingerie database, as the only reason he could think for keeping it at the time was in case Lister "wanted to attend a fancy dress party as Hermann Göring".




In an effort to get her to the link faster, Lister recklessly navigates a course through the tail of a Comet. But when thruster systems begin to fail, Starbug is damaged, meaning the linkway is out of reach. Cat identifies the reason the thrusters did not work is because Starbug is too heavy, so he and Lister decide to clear out a lot of Rimmer's junk that was left behind. But progress is halted when Lister refuses to throw any of it, saying that he is beginning to miss Rimmer and reflects on some of the fun times that he and Rimmer spent together since Lister was released from stasis, namely pranks made at Rimmer's expense. When he has a dream that Rimmer returns and he and Rimmer kiss, Kryten tries some psychology to get to the bottom of Lister's problem. However, Kochanski has a little talk with Lister and (relatively effortlessly) makes him realise why he misses Rimmer, much to Kryten's disgust.




A few days later during Games Night, Kochanski is made to feel more unwelcome when her idea of games are far less crude than the ones the boys play, which include "Match the Body Part to the Crew Member". Kryten, having to be one step better than Kochanski, reveals that he has created "The Rimmer Experience", a virtual reality rollercoaster ride of ship life, which he based on information taken from Rimmer's diaries and logs. The ride depicts Rimmer thinking of himself as a "hero" and "remarkable", giving Cat fashion tips (which Cat declares would make him "no better looking than a woodwork teacher"), and believing that Lister has called for Rimmer to save him before Lister wets himself. The ride culminates with a song and dance by animated Rimmer puppets. As the ride ends, Lister declares that he never wants to hear from "that scum-sucking, lying, weasel-minded smeghead" ever again. A self-satisfied Kryten then declares, "Sigmund Freud, eat your heart out!"
