As Del and Raquel leave, Rodney enters hungover and asks Albert to phone his work and tell them he will be off sick.
That night, at the Nag's Head, as Albert sings and plays "Red Sails in the Sunset" on the piano, Del enters, shortly followed by Cassandra's father Alan.
Del phones Bronco, finding out that the dish was stolen from Gatwick Airport's main runway, causing chaos throughout Europe, including Cassandra's diversion to Manchester.
Del and Rodney head for the balcony, and as they do so, the dish switches on and a large aeroplane flies towards Nelson Mandela House.
The final scene of the plane heading towards the flats meant that the episode was temporarily removed from repeat airings following the September 11 attacks.
