When they reached the borders of the Shire they suddenly saw some gates there. They wondered about it and when they entered (after ringing the guards out of their beds) they saw some more to wonder about. That deeper they came into the Shire, the greater were the changes. They were halted by a kind of patrol and "guarded" (what means that they could have broken off everytime, but don't wanted to) they travelled towards Bag End. There, in Hobbiton, they saw that many humans had control and they organised a revolt and drove them out. At Bag End they found the real person behind that all - it was Saruman! He had come to the Shire and taken control.
They found out that Wormtongue had killed the mayor of the Shire. But Frodo wanted to simply drive them out of the Shire despite their evil actions. But suddenly Wormtongue took out a knife and attacked Saruman. In the same moment a hobbit-bow sung and killed him also. Saruman was dead and with this the War of the Ring had really ended.
