About this episode
The following morning, Mercutio and Benvolio find Romeo and tease him mercilessly for ghosting them after the party. Juliet’s nurse arrives with her servingman, Peter, in search of Romeo. The three young men have fun at her expense until Romeo reveals he’s the one she’s looking for. Together, they plan for Juliet to meet him at Friar Laurence’s cell. The Nurse returns to the Capulet’s house and toys with Juliet until she can’t hold back the good news any longer. That evening, in the Friar’s verdant cell where plants and botany abound, Juliet and Romeo are wedded. Meanwhile, out on the street, Mercutio and Benvolio while away the time until Juliet’s cousin, Tybalt, arrives and picks a fight with Mercutio. As they spar, Romeo arrives and tries to make peace with Tybalt. Mercutio insists on fighting and is mortally wounded in the fray. Romeo, incensed, plunges his sword into Tybalt, killing him in revenge.
