The Taming of the Shrew - Strength Is In Surrender
Biondello tells Bianca and Lucentio that he’s arranged for a priest to perform their marriage and sends them on their way as Gremio approaches. Petruchio, Kate and Vincentio arrive at Baptista’s house and are greeted by the Pedant who (much to the real Vincentio’s consternation) claims to be Lucentio’s father. Biondello returns from the hasty marriage to find both the real and fake Vincentio with Baptista and is forced to pretend the Pedant is his master. As Vincentio berates Biondello for pretending not to know him, Tranio returns and tries to continue the ruse, claiming the Pedant is his father. Chaos ensues until Lucentio returns with Bianca. With no way out, Lucentio confesses all to his father. Vincentio, overjoyed to see his son alive, forgives him. Baptista accepts the marriage. Gremio accepts he’s been beaten and joins the group for a free meal at Baptista’s. Kate and Petruchio revel in their newfound love. After dinner, Petruchio challenges all the newly married men to see whose wife respects her husband the most. In the end, it’s Kate who helps her husband win, ending the series with a speech about a woman’s responsibility to her husband.
