Romeo works to create the village he has promised—at first with pitiful results. He later meets the Old Man that he and Juliet met when they encountered the dying roots of Escalus and he gives him some seeds that will withstand the most hostile environments and the village flourishes well. Meanwhile, Juliet begins rehearsing for a play William has composed for Neo Verona reenacting Juliet's tale. In playing a part where she kills the tyrant, she considers that although she doesn't hate him, for the future of Neo Verona and for the sake of the Capulet family she must kill Lord Montague. Juliet hears news of Romeo's village and, with Curio escorting her, they have a romantic and loving reunion.
