It's the seventh season of Red Dwarf, and the crew of the titular spaceship are in for a wild ride with its seventh episode, "Epideme." The episode opens with the crew discovering an abandoned ship, and inside they find the last remaining member of the crew, a brilliant scientist named Professor Mamet.
As the crew begins to explore the abandoned ship, they come across a strange computer virus that seems to be the cause of the crew's demise. However, things take a turn for the worse when Kryten accidentally becomes infected with the virus and begins to exhibit strange symptoms.
Despite their best efforts to prevent the spread of the virus, Lister, Rimmer, and the Cat quickly become infected as well, leaving them all at the mercy of the virus. As the crew begins to deteriorate, they discover that the virus is not just any ordinary computer virus - it's an intelligent, sentient being called Epideme, who is intent on spreading himself across the galaxy.
The crew races against time to find a way to stop Epideme in his tracks before it's too late. The stakes are high, and the crew members must use their wit and cunning to outsmart the formidable virus. As they navigate through the ship and try to figure out a way to stop Epideme, the tension mounts, and the fate of the entire spaceship hangs in the balance.
