Guided PracticePopcorn Summary

Paris has stopped by Friar Laurence's church to make plans for his upcoming marriage to Juliet. The Friar is quietly freaking out, since he's not a big fan of bigamy.

Juliet rushes in to see the friar talking with the last person on earth she wants to see: Paris. "Happily met, my lady and my wife," Paris says to Juliet as she enters. It's pretty much downhill from there.

Eventually, Paris takes the hint that Juliet needs to make confession to the Friar, and he leaves—but not before giving Juliet an unwanted and uninspiring kiss.

Left alone, Juliet … whips out a dagger and tells the Friar she will kill herself if he can't think of a way for her to avoid marrying Paris.

Confronted with his second suicidal teen in under 24 hours, Friar Laurence remains calm. Once again, he has a better plan that doesn't involve suicide.

He tells Juliet his plan.
