Summary
Lister's appendix is about to burst. Rimmer sinks into a neurotic spiral of worry for his ageing bunkmate. Who's more sick?
...
This idea came to me while watching series X, episode 3 (Lemons). Why on Io would Rimmer look so embarrassed about giving Kryten permission to do lifesaving operations on Lister when he's asleep? My only conclusion was that Rimmer secretly ties himself in knots worrying every time an ageing Lister has some kind of health condition that he won't get checked out. At the same time, he's too far up his own arse and cowardly to be open with him about it. He'd rather drug him when he's asleep and get an obsolete mechanoid to operate on him than admit that he cares.

Rimmer is sick of being Ace. He wants to go home. His plan is to find the most pathetic version of himself that he can, not wanting to be outshone when he passes on the title.
Arnold, an artist and painter, happens to have a very happy life on Ganymede, and none of the necessary charisma to fill those boots. He does, however, have something Rimmer doesn't: a spine.
