What's really going on
The plot's loose ends get tied in a single rush. The accusations that drove the tragedy are reversed, and the two men who trusted them are cleared of malice even as they're made to grieve. Benedick's speech is the comedy's reward: the man who swore he'd never marry turns his wit into a love speech — "I will live in thy heart, die in thy lap and be buried in thy eyes" — and then, straight-faced, turns around and negotiates the wedding with Leonato. His plea that he saw "an eye of favour" is the same confident Benedick, just aimed at marriage instead of mockery. Even the messenger's line, "Yonder's old coil at home," has it both ways: the household is in chaos and in celebration at once.
Theme
RomanceBenedick turns his jokes into a love declaration and asks Leonato for Beatrice's hand, while Hero and Claudio are set to marry.
RedemptionThe false accusation is undone, the deceived men are forgiven, and the play moves to restore what was nearly lost.

You must come to your uncle. Yonder's old coil at home.An urgent summons: come home, because there's a huge commotion there. 'Old coil' is Elizabethan for a noisy fuss — and here the fuss is good news.
I will live in thy heart, die in thy lap and be buried in thy eyes, and moreover, I will go with thee to thy uncle's.Benedick's romantic overstatement, capped with a joke: after all that poetry, the practical point is that he'll walk her home.
I am glad that all things sort so well.Relief that a tangled mess has ended well. 'Sort' here means to turn out or resolve, not to arrange.
You must be father to your brother's daughter, and give her to young Claudio.The friar's instructions for tomorrow's wedding: Antonio, Hero's uncle, must stand in for her father and give her away to Claudio.
To bind me or undo me, one of them.Leonato tells the friar it comes down to two outcomes: either the marriage is completed and saves him, or it undoes him. A line about total commitment.
Signior Leonato, truth it is, good signior, your niece regards me with an eye of favour.A suitor states his case plainly: your niece looks at me with favour. 'An eye of favour' is a look of preference, i.e. she likes him.
このシーンについての質問
How does everyone learn Hero was innocent?
Borachio's confession is passed on: a messenger reports that Hero was falsely accused, that Don Pedro and Claudio were deceived, and that Don John, the plot's author, has fled.
Why is Leonato suddenly ready for the wedding?
Because the truth has cleared Hero's name, and she was never really dead — the friar's plan worked. Leonato now arranges for Antonio to give the disguised Hero to Claudio the next morning.
What does Benedick ask Leonato for?
Beatrice's hand in marriage. He says her niece "regards me with an eye of favour," and asks that their wills be joined "in the state of honourable marriage," with the friar's help.
Did Benedick and Beatrice really fall in love, or were they tricked?
The play leaves both readings open. They were gulled into noticing each other, but once the truth comes out they choose each other freely, and Benedick's speech here is entirely his own.
What does "old coil" mean?
An Elizabethan phrase for a commotion or fuss. Here it describes the uproar at Leonato's house, which turns out to be the good news arriving all at once.
