Things are about to be set right again. Bottom is relieved of his donkey's head. Much to the ... delight ... of Theseus who can now enjoy a tedious play full of mirth at his wedding.

Now that Lysander is no longer under the influence of the love juice, Oberon also lifts the spell off Titania. Likewise, Puck turns Bottom fully human again. The four lovers awake and are met by Theseus who has changed his mind and invites the two pairs to get married at his and Hippolyta’s wedding. Quince and Bottom meet again, too, and are eager to perform their play at the grand wedding celebration. Once night has fallen and everyone has gone to bed, Oberon, Titania and Puck reappear to bless the happily married couples.

As Oberon and Puck watch Demetrius still trying to woo Hermia, Puck’s mistake becomes obvious. To fix this, Oberon enchants Demetrius. Now both Lysander and Demetrius have only eyes for Helena. As the four lovers cross ways, a quarrel erupts between them. Puck, now on the mission to set things right, eventually leads the two men into opposite directions, imitating for each the voice of the other. Once they are lost in the woods and go to sleep, Puck places a counter charm on Lysander, so that his love for Hermia is restored when he awakes.

There are even more people in this forest: A group of workers are rehearsing a play that they want to present at Theseus’ wedding. While they do so, they are being watched by Puck. Bored by just being an onlooker, Puck puts a spell on Bottom, the Weaver, that transforms his head into that of a donkey. Titania who has been sleeping nearby awakes and instantly falls madly in love with the transformed Bottom.
