In her only previous appearance, Peanut Hamper was last seen floating past the damaged Cerritos... after it had returned to space dock. The opening scenes here retcon that event, instead showing that she was left drifting in open space when the Titan towed the Cerritos back to space dock.
The first episode to not feature the standard opening sequence, instead playing a sad version of the theme music and actor/producer credits over a sequence showing Peanut Hamper drifting in space.
