Juliet is taking the drug a day early which means that the information in Friar Laurence's letter to Romeo is now wrong. Uh oh! Juliet wakes up, and Friar Laurence tries to get her to leave. She refuses, and he flees when he hears the watchmen coming. Juliet kills herself. Line 15: Lady Capulet says that it is "a fortnight and odd days" until Lammastide (August 1, which will be Juliet's 14th birthday), so this Sunday is sometime between July 4th and 18th. Friar Laurence, Balthasar, and the servant explain what happened. The Prince scolds Lord Capulet and Lord Montague, who finally end their feud.

Line 90: Friar Laurence says that "Wednesday is tomorrow" and that Juliet should take the drug "tomorrow night". Line 4: Benvolio refers to the time of year when he says that "these hot days" are stirring "the mad blood". The Prince, Capulets, Montagues, and others arrive. News of these events is spreading through the streets.

After all, the British series ran for only two seasons and had a mere seven episodes each season...So how is CBS going to stretch this into 22 episodes without stretching it too thin?...In many ways, Worst Week seems incapable of being made into an American version (there were previous attempts that failed), because not only does the title not make sense, but not having a payoff for all the freaky, not-so-karmic woes Sam endures will be frustrating to the viewing audience . . . [It] is a series that may end up being on a short leash." [5] Lord Capulet supervises the wedding preparations throughout the night. Paris arrives very early in the morning, which was the custom at the time.

Juliet goes to Friar Laurence, and he suggests a plan that she take a drug that will make her look dead so that she can sneak away with Romeo.

[4] Line 189: Prince Escalus says, "What misadventure is so early up that calls our person from our early rest?", also implying that it is now morning. When Angela decides she wants to rent the apartment upstairs from Sam and Mel to be closer once the baby comes, Mel tries to prove that she doesn't need her help.
