The episode opens with the Japanese text that referst to the sonnet that Shakespeare put at the start of the drama, then we already see some differences in the basic story: the Capulet family is exterminated by the hands of the Montagues, and Juliet and another, older girl barely escape their doom.

We move a few years later, in the city of Neo-Verona (a curious mixture of several classical Italian architectural styles, to say the least). The government, in the hands of the Montagues, is still looking for the last heir, to kill off the family once and for all. When a (seemingly) innocent woman is about to get executed, a mysterious person (Juliet) appears and frees her. The city guard sets off in her pursuit: she snatches a friend along the way(Cordelia - the name refers to one of the daughters of King Lear, actually) and continues her run.

On her way, she risks falling to her death, only to be saved by - guess who? - Romeo. Their encounter is short, as she runs away quickly. Cordelia and Juliet go to a theatre, ran by some person named William (a reference to Shakespeare? But he's blonde...). As they rest, Juliet is reminded of how she's about to reach her 16th birthday (another difference: Juliet was 14 in the play).

Cue to Romeo, who obviously can't forget about Juliet already, and his conversation with a friend. His father tells him about a sort of party for the night and what looks to be an arranged marriage with someone. Back to Juliet, she's trying on some dresses for the upcoming night, where's she supposed to get along with her friend, but by mistake she's picked up by someone and brought there.
