Alex must decide whether to make the dash to Philadelphia and let Ellen know how he feels about her before she marries her boyfriend.
Examples:
- Cannot Spit It Out: After driving Ellen to the train station, Alex tries to tell her about his feelings so that the wedding is called off, only for the conversation to rapidly deteriorate into a shouting match. Alex discusses with Elyse how much he cares for Ellen and how much he wanted to tell her, prompting Elyse to suggest that he needs to ensure Ellen is aware of his feelings.
- Love Confession: Spoken in true Alex Keaton fashion:Alex: “I love you. Okay? I said it. I mean, after all, Ellen, if I'm gonna go this far I might as well go all the way. I love you. All right? I love you I love you I love you. I'm crazy about you, I’d give anything to be with you. I can't live without you. Okay? Gotta go. See ya.
- Race for Your Love: Alex makes the seven hour drive to Pennsylvania Station to tell Ellen how he feels.
- Seriously Scruffy: Downplayed. By the time Alex makes it to Pennsylvania, his impeccably-neat tuxedo has come undone.
