- This episode opens with the events from "No Small Parts" and focuses on what happens to Peanut Hamper after it beams off the U.S.S. Cerritos and is left behind after the U.S.S. Titan arrives.
- The opening titles features a melancholy version of the theme song with visuals of Peanut Hamper floating through the Pakled debris field.
- Peanut Hamper eventually makes it to the planet Areolus, populated by a sentient bird-like species, the Areore. She seemingly falls in love with the son of their leader, Rawda, and becomes a hero when the Drookmani scavengers arrive. But the Drookmani reveal it was Peanut Hamper who called them and it was all a ruse.
- At the end, Peanut Hamper is imprisoned at the Daystrom Institute in the cell next to AGIMUS, who first appeared in the episode "Where Pleasant Fountains Lie".
- Gillian Vigman (Dr. T'Ana) does not appear in this episode.
