Juliet intruding on their conversation. Capulet describes Juliet as being wild , 
irritable and Worthless and unreliable.After this has passed , Juliet bows and apologies to his father for her “ disobedience “ and then further continues to 
to almost reinstate the power Capulet has over her .( Dramatic Irony , as this all part of the plan of Friar Laurence , to get them back together later) This brings Capulet great
joy and leads to his forgiveness of her and now makes preparations for the 
the wedding( quickly informing Paris as he thinks he might change her mind- Hastiness)

questioning the integrity of the Friar ( the potion could not work or it could kill her, as he was the person who married them) to even possibilities of the plan going wrong( could suffocate, go mad ) . Despite these other lingering thoughts , she eventually takes the potion and then falls on her bed.
