Things You Forgot Happened In Valentine's Day

Since Valentine's Day is a rom-com which takes place during the most romantic day of the calendar, one would think that everyone would end up in a couple. But that, unfortunately, isn't in the cards for Morley and Dr. Harrison Copeland (Patrick Dempsey). That's right: As you might not remember, not everyone ends up coupled in Valentine's Day.

That's doesn't mean they don't end up happy, however. Morley just isn't ready to be in a committed relationship that involves marriage — she's "married to her career." Her final appearance is of her walking her dog at night. This is a perfectly fine ending for her, at this point in her life: It's what she wants, and nothing less.

Harrison's tale, in contrast, is riddled with infidelity. Not only does he cheat on his wife, but he tells Julia that he's no longer with her. This blows up in his face at dinner when Julia surprises Harrison and his wife, disguised as their waitress. Julia serves up the truth, leading to Harrison's wife realizing she's one of his lovers. She promptly leaves him. Harrison ends the movie alone, playing out all the mistakes he made in his head.

But Valentine's Day, luckily, ends on a happy note. All the people who were looking for love and happiness find it.
