Noah/Duke joyfully spend a brief intimate moment together, after
originally finding out about her illness, she had herself written their
story in the notebook with the instructions for Noah to "Read this to
me, and I'll come back to you." But soon Allie relapses, losing her
memories of Noah yet again. She panics, and has to be sedated by
the attending physician. This proves to be too difficult for Noah to
watch and he breaks down. The next morning, Noah is found
unconscious in bed and he is rushed to the hospital; he later returns
to the nursing home's intensive care ward. He goes to Allie's room
later that night, and Allie remembers again. The next moming, a
nurse finds them in bed together, having both died peacefully
holding each other's hands. The last scene shows a flock of birds
flying away.
