- The Red Dwarf encounters an alien ship and the crew boards it, Rimmer and Kryten discover the skeleton of a three-headed human. Lister and Cat discover a machine that Cat touches out of curiosity, a light ensnares Lister. Cat attempts to deactivate the snare and instead activates a metamorphosis effect on Lister. Lister is transformed into a chicken.
Rimmer and Kryten investigate and find Lister in his state, Kryten deduces the machine is a D.N.A. modifier and can alter any form of organic life, he attempts to revert Lister to a human, instead Lister is turned into a hamster. Kryten asks Cat what happened then Cat demonstrates by tapping buttons and Kryten is snared in light, Kryten assures everyone that he cannot be transformed, until he realizes his brain possess organic matter. Cat hurriedly taps at the pad and reverts Lister to human, he tries the same with Kryten but Kryten is changed into a human.
Lister visits Kryten in his human state in medical, at first Kryten is having trouble adapting without his mechanical advantages, i.e. absence of zoom in the eyes. And the presence of a penis is baffling to Kryten, Lister advises Kryten to change back to a mech.
Rimmer and Cat are investigating ways of resurrecting Rimmer through the D.N.A. machine, when Lister enters he's asked about Kryten, he's worried that Kryten will be disappointed with being human.
Kryten visits his spare heads to tell them the news, but the heads don't take this well and Kryten is left depressed. Lister tells him about staying true to one's nature and Kryten wishes to be a mech again. Before putting Kryten through the machine they decide a test, using Lister's curry as a trial, changing it from mutton to chicken. The trial goes wrong turning the curry into a monster which chases them back onto Red Dwarf. They hole up in the room with the machine, Lister suggests putting himself in the machine and becoming a superhuman.
The final result is botched as Lister is turned into a diminutive version of himself in Robocop armor. When confronting the monster Lister discovers its weakness is alcohol, he hurls a beer can into its mouth and fires at it, destroying the monster.
