[edit] Synopsis
Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow.
Rimmer and Kryten have a rather nasty accident while moon-hopping: Kryten is left in pieces among the wreckage of Starbug and Rimmer is gone. When Lister and Cat arrive, they find themselves on a psi-moon, a planetoid which terraforms itself to match the psyche of anyone who lands on it. The psi-moon takes on the formation of Rimmer's psyche and he is subsequently captured by his Inner Demons and set to be sacrificed to the manifestation of his Self-Loathing. The crew rescues him, and themselves, by boosting Rimmer's self-esteem to overcome his doubts and fears.
