Plot[]

Now that Lotho and Sharkey's tyranny is overthrown in the Shire, the Hobbits rebuild the villages of the region. Sam opens the box Galadriel gave him and finds a small silver seed, which he plants in the Party Field. A Mallorn springs up to replace the old tree that was cut down. Many children are born that year. Merry and Pippin become heroes in the Shire, but Frodo quietly retires. That spring, Sam marries Rosie Cotton, Tolman Cotton's daughter, and they live at Bag End with Frodo.

Frodo decides to travel to Rivendell to see Bilbo. Frodo entrusts to Sam his and Bilbo's book and they set out together. As they enter the Woody End, they meet Elrond and Galadriel, who now wear two of the Three Elven Rings of Power, riding slowly behind the two Elves is Bilbo himself. Sam and Frodo accompany the travelers to the Great Sea. When they reach the gates of the Grey Havens, they find Gandalf, wearing the last of the Three Rings, waiting for them. Beyond him is a great white ship, ready to sail to the West.

Pippin and Merry appear, wishing to be present at Frodo's departure. Frodo sadly bids farewell to his three friends and boards the ship. Gandalf entreats the three Hobbits to enjoy each others friendship as they quietly return to the Shire. Sam enters his warm home, where he finds Rosie waiting. She puts their young daughter, Elanor in his lap, and Sam draws a deep breath and says, "Well, I'm back."
