Juliet is exposed as the leader of the Capulets and imprisoned. Lord Montague tells Romeo that Juliet was using him and that she will be executed, regardless of how he feels for her. Hermione visits Juliet in her cell and tells her to stay away from Romeo. She is just about to be executed, but is ultimately saved from imprisonment by Francisco, Curio, and Antonio. She is at first reluctant to go because she doesn't want anymore people to die for her. But Curio says that if she dies now, Lancelot's sacrifice would have been in vain. She agrees, but is pulled away to the Escalus Tree where Ophelia touches her and proclaims that Juliet will return to Escalus. Juliet finds herself outside the castle and is surrounded by soldiers until Romeo saves her. They decide to temporarily part ways, vowing to be together again.
