Although the Mariachi band continues to play, Dave stops, and confesses that he was such an idiot. Maddie smiles brightly through her tears. "Yeah, you were." They kiss.

Dave and Madelyn start to dance, while Claire and Trevor exchange smiles, but hers turns into that eye-rolly-you-incorrigible-god-of-love thing that you do, and she shakes her head at him.

Claire's Computer: At which she's doing her best imitation of a [Veronica Mars Voice Over + a Doogie Howser Computer Diary Entry]: Cupid: A Case Study by Dr. Claire McRae. She narrates over a montage of Dave and Maddie happily in love: Certainly, there was no magic bow and arrow, but Trevor created a romantic scenario that witnesses would describe as 'magical'. Case books are full of stories about soldiers who have seen so much suffering on the battlefield that they only way they can cope is to convince themselves they're Jesus Christ.

The key to dispelling the delusion, therefore, is to learn the cause, treat the heartbreak, and allow this cupid to find his Psyche.
