"'''Cured'''" is the first episode of ''[[Red Dwarf|Red Dwarf XII]]'' and the 68th in the series run. Originally broadcast on the British television channel [[Dave (channel)|Dave]] on 12 October 2017, it was made available early on 5 October 2017 on [[UKTV Play]].

The crew happen upon an abandoned research facility where several infamous figures from history reside, supposedly "cured" of their [[evil]].

==Synopsis==
The crew play a game of [[poker]], with Lister attempting to teach Cat how to have a proper [[blank expression|poker face]], but Cat failing to understand. Kryten interrupts to report on a resource-rich station to scavenge, which the crew head off towards onboard ''Starbug'', which requires an elaborate start-up sequence to work due to its state of disrepair. A powerful sandstorm leaves them temporarily stranded there.

The crew venture through the base, encountering "cyrobooths" bearing the names of [[Messalina]], [[Vlad the Impaler]], [[Joseph Stalin]], and [[Adolf Hitler]]. They are then greeted by Professor Shaul Telford, who reveals that the occupants were in stasis and their arrival has triggered their release, but that they have been cured of their formerly [[psychopathy|psychopathic]] ways. They are introduced to these infamous figures over dinner. Surprisingly, they prove to be kind and pleasant, and claim to be completely reformed. Lister gets to know Hitler, and the pair perform "[[The Happy Wanderer]]" on guitar. The rest of the crew pull Lister aside to chastise him for socializing with Hitler, but are all knocked unconscious and put into separate torturous scenarios.

After escaping from their traps, the crew meet up and accuse the base occupants of trying to kill them. They decide to test everybody using a device that scans who among them is a psychopath, which returns the results that of them two are psychopaths, one being the Cat, due to his inherently selfish and vain personality, and the other being Professor Telford. Telford reveals himself as the base's real patient, with the other occupants having been his android caretakers, who he reprogrammed. Telford holds the crew at gunpoint, but due to not knowing how to start ''Starbug'', offers to take the Cat with him. Cat, seemingly, agrees and requests a gun to kill the other three with, only to immediately kill Telford with it. He credits his deception to his newly-learned poker face.
