Spinelli interjects that her special someone is out there. A plane flies overhead and the noise of the engine grows louder as Britt continues to rant about there being no love in Port Charles.

A shirtless man (played by Josh Kelly) cheers, “That’s a way to make an entrance Port Charles!”

Diane tells them that they were both brilliant on the stand.

Outside of the court, Nina can’t believe it’s over. Scott offers to call Obrecht for her, but she rushes off.

Ava heads out, and Valentin was worried Anna was going to stand him up.
