History Recap / RedDwarfSeasonXEntangled

* FakeShemp: Sydney Stevenson hadn't been cast as Irene when they filmed the scene where she tranforms from the chimp to her human form, so they got a model for that scene, which is why it's shown BetweenHerLegs.

Rimmer and Lister learn about Cat and Kryten's quantum entanglement and through a sheer amount of coincidences brought on by the entanglement, they learn of a space station where Lister's "Knacker Attacker" was developed and its coordinates.

They find the ERRA station, a science outpost built around the concept that two wrongs can make a right and so on, that the erroneous and stupid people could accomplish amazing things in sheer ignorance of their own level of stupidity. Well, that was the plan. The whole theory turned out to be wrong in the first place.

Kryten is able to restore her back to human form and they ask her for help with Lister's problem. Taking her ERRA education, they are able to decipher the code used for the bomb. But Irene is able to figure out the last button needed to decode the bomb, and Lister's balls are saved.

* BetweenMyLegs: Irene's transformation from chimp to human is framed this way, largely because her actress (Sydney Stevenson) hadn't actually been cast when the scene was filmed.

* DevolutionDevice: Irene had created a device that would evolve humanity into the next stage. However, she got it hopelessly wrong and used the device to accidentally ''devolve'' her into an ape instead.

* FakeShemp: Sydney Stevenson wasn't available to film the transformation from the chimp to Professor Edgington, so they got a model for that scene, which is why it's shown BetweenHerLegs.

* ThrownOutTheAirlock: At the end of the episode Irene trips into the airlock and is thrown out into space just as she and Rimmer are making plans to sleep together.

Still, they find a nest of stasis pods, with one member inside: Professor Irene Edginton, who developed the groinal exploder. Only ... she's a chimpanzee. She had developed a machine that was supposed to jump-start her own evolution into the next stage of humanity, but as everything went wrong on the station, the opposite happened instead.

* ChivalrousPervert: ''Unlike'' Rimmer and the Cat who are happy to tell Kryten to take his time in finding the sheet so they can stare at her longer, Lister offers Irene his jacket without a word.
* DevolutionDevice: Irene had created a device that would evolve humanity into the next stage. However, she got it hopelessly wrong and used the device to accidentally devolve her into an ape instead.

* FakeShemp: Sydney Stevenson wasn't available to film the transformation from the chimp to Professor Edgington, so they got a model for that scene.

* NeverMyFault: Interestingly, Rimmer doesn't hold himself responsible for the radiation leak that wiped out the crew on Red Dwarf, asking who really was responsible, the man or the system. Lister insists it was the man (Rimmer), but [[CallBack previous episodes]] have established that the system is also to blame. So in a way, [[BothSidesHaveAPoint they're both right]], but Rimmer is using it as justification to rework the Health and Safety department of the ship to take over the accident report forms.
* PleasePutSomeClothesOn: Kryten offers to get Irene a sheet to cover herself after she assumes human form. As the scene ends Lister is removing his jacket and stepping forward to hand it to Irene.

* AllMenArePerverts: When Irene is transformed from chimp to human, she's naked. Lister, Rimmer and Cat are content to just stare at her. Kryten, being a mechanoid, doesn't notice at first but when he does, he offers to get her a sheet to cover herself up.

* HotScientist: Irene, once the effects of her evolution machine have been reversed.

* PleasePutSomeClothesOn: Kryten offers to get Irene a sheet to cover herself after she assumes human form. The others are content to just stare at her instead.

* DevolutionDevice: Irene had created a device which would evolve humanity into the next stage. However, she got it hopelessly wrong and used the device to accidentally devolve her into an ape instead.

* HotScientist: Irene, once the effects of her evolution machine have been reverse.

* TheLoinsSleepTonight: Rimmer presumably, as his plans to have sex with Irene are ruined after she accidentally falls into the airlock and ejects herself out into space.

Still, they find a nest of stasis pods, with one member inside: Professor Irene Edginton, who developed the groinal exploder. Only ... she's a monkey. She had developed a machine that was supposed to jump-start her own evolution into the next stage of humanity, but as everything went wrong on the station, the opposite happened instead.

Rimmer and Irene develop a bond with each other and walk through the hallway with Lister's preferred airlock. As Rimmer and Irene decide to go make love, Lister comes in through the airlock and leaves it open. Irene falls over on Rimmer's box of report forms and falls into the airlock. Rimmer and Lister beg her not to push any buttons, but Irene does so, anyway. Lister asks Rimmer for a pen.

* PleasePutSomeClothesOn: Lister removes his jacket and offers it to Irene when she assumes human form. Rimmer and Lister are content to just stare at her instead.

Trying to pass off Rimmer as raddled and essentially worthless, the Crew decides to bribe them instead with a "Spoon of Destiny," able to control the universe. The Beggs see through it immediately and challenge Lister to another round of poker. Only this time, if they win, they take everybody save Lister. Fortunately, the Beggs end up choking to death, to Lister's dismay.

Still, they find a nest of stasis pods, with one member inside: Professor Irene E, who developed the groinal exploder. Only... she's a monkey. She had developed a machine that was supposed to jump-start her own evolution into the next stage of humanity, and as everything went wrong on the station, the opposite happened instead.

Kryten is able to restore her back to being a human and they ask her for help with Lister's problem. Taking her ERRA education, they are able to decipher the code used for the bomb. But Irene is able to figure out the last button needed to decode the bomb, and Lister's balls are saved.

* BetweenMyLegs: Irene's transformation from chimp to human is framed this way, largely because her actress hadn't actually been cast when the scene was filmed.
* DramaticIrony: Despite being wrong all her life Irene actually manages to guess the last button needed to deactivate the explosive belt. Rimmer and Cat [[LampshadedTrope point out]] the irony of it.

Later on, Kryten finds Lister outside the ship in a spacesuit, begging to be let in. Lister had been to the moon and met with Bio-Engineered Garbage Gobblers, an off-shoot of GELFs, specifically meant to eat garbage and refuse and being constantly inebriated, and now spends their time drinking whiskey and playing poker. Lister had asked them for rumors about Kochanski but ended up playing with them, losing both Starbug and Rimmer. Kryten decides to hand Lister the rest of the accident report form, which Lister blows out the airlock.

Rimmer learns about the "accident" as Kryten explained to him, and when Kryten clarifies it wasn't an accident, Rimmer decides to give Lister an entire box of both the Accident Report Form and the Airlock Safety Report Form to show he was cleared to use the airlock to begin with.

Lister is trying to figure out a way to clear his debt with the BEGGs, since he has to deliver Rimmer to them. And when Rimmer finds out, he suggests they escape. It turns out the BEGGs fitted Lister with a groinal exploder, set on a timer and rigged to blow if tampered with. And if Lister were to die, so does Rimmer. So their only option is to reason with the BEGGs.
