The Friar figures that if the kids get married, maybe their families will stop fighting.

On the same day, Juliet’s cousin, Tybalt, challenges Romeo to a duel. He’s still mad about Romeo sneaking into the Capulet party.

The Capulets and Montagues see their dead kids and decide, hey, maybe it’s better if we all try to get along.
