Further details
Reading through Rimmer's diary, Lister comes across a strange reference to him having seen a vision of himself talking about a 'stasis leak' on floor 16. Together with Cat, they proceed to go and investigate.
It turns out the stasis leak has created a time portal, opening into the shower room shortly before the crew were wiped out and thus enabling the Dwarfers to go back to see their old crewmates.
Lister resolves to woo Kochanski, even if he won't have more than 3 weeks with her before being fatally irradiated. Whilst Rimmer is preoccupied with trying to save himself, Lister and Cat head off in search of Kochanski.
The pair eventually track her down to a hotel whilst on planet leave - but she appears to have checked into the honeymoon suite. Are they already too late?
