Rodney (secretly sporting one of the clip-on ponytails) heads over to his and Cassandra's flat to see his wife, and Cassandra tells her husband that clip-on ponytails are embarrassing. Upon hearing this, Rodney furtively removes his ponytail. Then, Cassandra says that she spoke to her solicitor, who suggested that she and Rodney try to repair their marriage by raising a pet.
