^Some things are ineluctably 'double-entendre' and so, if deliberate, impress one un-innocently . . . and this carrot business is such (Rebecca, conspicuously, has one, too)
Some things just seem 'off' . . . and this scene is one of those things
Re the latter point (only): perhaps the little girl was supposed to get more and more exuberantly in the spirit of the thing (is that what the choice of song implies?), but didn't -- like baby Christina recently at NL: the gurgling / giggling soundtrack at odds with her less than enthusiastic participation in the boys' entertainment.
And re the boys' SL & Rebecca: she is more 'pervasive' than ever -- although I rather like her as their hapless friend -- different, of course, from when she was / seemed a threat to their relationship.

^ I think it's been made abundantly clear too, that Olli is the only nymph for Christian. ;D He came across as rough and unfriendly (though i was into the spitting) not a Pedo. Though the directors should really give them something less obviously phallic next time. a sugar cube or something.
re: songs I don't think they carry as much weight to the selectors/ editors as they do to the viewers. Otherwise they wouldn't have used no surprises for the proposal scene.

^ Yup. Maybe because it's a German show, the peps that choose the English songs don't really pay much attention to the lyrics. And I was totally into the spitting too, TKat.

The scene had made much more sense (& the choice of song, too) had it been Olli bringing the child to the meadow -- had it been he present throughout instead of Rebecca.
The writers/director make a point of representing a (spontaneously assembled) happy family, so why, at this point, include Rebecca rather than Olli?
It surprises -- and confuses -- me that now, after the resolution of the Rebecca / Rob / C & O SL emphatically in favor of C & O being together -- and so soon after their wedding -- the writers remain wedded to Rebecca's intimate involvement with them, of 'insinuating' her as if it were she Christian's actual 'wife'. Already since the very recent wedding, the pregnancy 'episode' and now this . . .
On the other hand, in a sense all of this is 'realilstic': it were unlikely that Rebecca suddenly no longer loves Christian -- they do show her (briefly) looking pensively / longingly -- as at the wedding: being happy for C & O, but also deeply disappointed, wishing / imagining it were she marrying C -- so I interpret it, anyway.
And likewise Christian's 'roughness' in this scene -- it just seems to be in a 'register' different from the show's wonted one . . . unprecedented -- at least according to my, admittedly weak, recollection.
