S7 E6 - Three Men. A Woman And A Baby

Rodney - I've got so many things worrying me. You know, I mean, the polar cap is melting, the continental shelves is shifting, the rainforest is dying, the sea is being poisoned...! And I ain’t had a bit for months!
As the final episode of the final full series, we end on yet another heartfelt moment - the birth of Damian, son of Del & Raquel.
At the beginning of the episode we have Del announcing his latest money-maker - "Wigs!" Only Rodney soon points out that these are men's wigs and not women's - cheering Rodney up from his disastrous day with Cassandra. The wigs help deliver 2 big laughs in the story- 1 later in the delivery room, teed up as Del sold one to a woman married to a hospital worker. The first wig joke comes from Rodney's sporting of a little ponytail as he goes round to see Cassandra. Del bumped into Steven in the market and talks about his ponytail, hearing that they're all the fashion in the city - renewing Del's faith in the wigs.
Hearing this spurs Rodney on into giving the wig a go. This shows that he remains committed to trying to give Cassandra what he perceives she wants. When she then speaks of Stevens and dismisses his ponytail as for "lame brains" Rodney panics and tries to get rid of it. This action ultimately brings the two together as Cassandra mistakes it for a mouse, and Rodney 'heroically' saves her. The two of them then get a call from Del when they are in bed announcing Raquel is in labour.
Raquel is given time to shine in the final act. She continues to put Del in his place as he acts out - "will you let go of my leg, Derek!" Rodney is convinced that their child is the coming of the antichrist, and jokingly throws out the name 'Damian', which they go on to adopt.
Del - Yes. Damien Derek Trotter.
Albert - You can't call him that! His initials will be DDT!
Rodney's obsession gives us some funny moments of them linking into The Omen music and him expecting 666 to be on his forehead. He's at least convinced it's a boy. It's the first question he has for Del after the birth.

We also have the pay off of the wig joke when Del mistakes it for Damian's head of hair. The whole hospital scene is some of the best writing of the series. Del is very emotional at the end of the episode, promising the boy anything he wants and to be able to live his dreams for him. Damian is shown off to Del's mum in spirit as we get her first grandchild born.
