* MeaningfulName: In Jamaican slang, (and to a lesser extent English slang), "Pree" means to look. For the former, "Pree" means to pay close attention to something, whilst for the latter, it generally means unwanted attention, spying, or even cyber-stalking. This is quite fitting for Pree, given that she watches everything her crew does and rapidly builds a profile of their character, to the point of knowing what they're about to do at any given moment.

In an attempt to stop this, Pree releases laughing gas, causing the group to start laughing uncontrollably and slowing down their progress. On the upside, Kryten is able to use the opportunity to resolve the tooth problem that Lister had been having all episode.

* MagicCountdown: Pree is kind enough to give Lister a countdown of how long he has left until he is expelled from the ship. What she isn't kind about is how long the countdown will be. Most egregious is the "ten-second" countdown while he's in the airlock, putting on his helmet.

Preparing to send his usual Father's Day video-message to himself, Lister is interrupted by Rimmer pointing out that he's been a pretty awful dad. This leads to the incredibly drunk Lister deciding to give himself some particularly tough love. Meanwhile, Rimmer and Kryten are stuck dealing with their attempt to engage a replacement ship computer, who turns out to be even less competent than Holly was.
