She is leaving the party early, but Harry declares his love for her. For his part, Billy spends the night walking aimlessly around New York City but decides to go to the party he had been invited to so that he can see Sally. Sally feels as though it is not New Year's that year because she is not spending it with Billy. They have a fight at Jesse and Marie's wedding, This seems to prove Harry's long held theory that men and women cannot be friends because sex gets in the way they both feel awkward about their night together and they drift apart, spending much less time together.

Once again they say goodbye at the end of the journey and go their separate ways. Harry begins to take up their conversation about platonic relationships again, and extends it, this time claiming that even if a man and a woman are involved in relationships with other people, they still cannot be friends.
