- Cut to Gordon's office again, where Peter's thanking his boss for the loan.
- "What a yarn!" Gordon exclaims. He's been convinced of Peter's story.
- But just after has he told his staff to stop the presses, Gordon gets a call informing him that Ellie Andrews is on her way back to New York.
- Enraged, Gordon cancels the change that he's just made to the next day's headlines and he sends out "a general alarm" about Peter Warne.
- Meanwhile, on the road, Andrews is in a rush to get back to Ellie.
- Andrews beats Peter to her, and just when the excited man-in-love thinks he's about to propose, he sees Andrews with Ellie in his car and a whole police escort headed to New York, the city he's just come from.
- This is such a bummer. Peter has just missed true love; she has slipped through his fingers.
