It's Saturday night and Lister wants to party while Arnold Rimmer insists on doing a inventory count of the ships supplies. When Lister objects Rimmer hides his cigarette supply somewhere on the ship. Lister wants Rimmer to let Holly swap his hologram out with Kochanski's for one night but Rimmer is afraid Dave will not put him back into the hologram. Dave also plans on taking a test so he can gain rank and out rank Rimmer.

Lister goes down to a lower deck that Rimmer was supposed to clear of radiation and ends up sick. Because of the sickness, two personalities of his manifest as solid forms. One as Confidence and the other pure Paranoia.
