Balthasar ruins the original plan by saying Juliet is officially to Romeo. This angers him, so he goes to a apothecary to buy poison and commit suicide next to her grave. He doesn't realize he was supposed to get a letter by Friar John, because he was locked up. During this time, Friar Laurence immediately begins writing a letter to Romeo before he comes, but it is too late. Paris, goes to Juliet's "grave" with his page to consecrate her everyday. Immediately, Romeo comes with Balthazar and gives him a letter to give to his family. He doesn't want Balthazar to interfere, so he curses him if he comes. Paris hides behind a pillar, and sees a person next to Juliet's grave, and he recognizes it is Romeo and tries to arrest him. Romeo, kills him and drinks the potion. After, Juliet wakes up, but finds her love dead next to her, so she stabs herself with Romeo's dagger. Watchmen then come and bring the Prince with the Capulet's and Montague's along. Friar Laurence and Balthazar with the Page explain the situation, and then they Capulet's and Montague's realize they should be friends, not enemies.
