44"Parent Hood"Richard StandevenMark Wadlow28 October 2006 (2006-10-28)

During an ambush against Guy of Gisborne, Robin Hood and the outlaws discover a baby boy abandoned in the forest. During the fight with the outlaws Gisborne's men capture Roy and drag him back to Nottingham Castle. While in a cell, Roy discovers that Gisborne fathered a child with Annie, a kitchen-girl, and that he'd lied to the mother and abandoned the child in the forest. Later, Roy is brought before the Sheriff of Nottingham and given an ultimatum: kill Robin Hood, or watch his own mother hang. Robin and the outlaws head to the castle to save Roy, only to find him riding away, supposedly having escaped. In order to lure Robin away from the others, Roy fabricates a story about the baby's mother living in Knighton. Meanwhile, Marian attempts to deliver food to a village that the Sheriff has quarantined. The guards stop her and she is only saved from reprisals by Robin and Roy's timely intervention. Robin is shot in the arm with an arrow while feeding the villagers, but he and Roy escape and are then joined by the rest of the outlaws. Later, Robin and the outlaws are given shelter in a villager's home. Marian tends to Robin's arrow wound and they discuss why he returned from the Holy Land: while defending the King against assassins, Robin was badly wounded, and by the time he'd healed the King had moved on and released Robin from service. After Robin leaves, the Sheriff orders Marian to be punished for feeding the villagers by having her hair cut on the public gallows. That night, while everyone sleeps, Roy tries to kill Robin but is foiled by Much and the others. He confesses that his mother is in danger, and Robin comes up with a plan to save her. The next day, before Roy's mother's scheduled hanging, the outlaws sneak into the castle. Allan-a-Dale finds Annie the kitchen-girl and tells her about the baby, while the others break into the dungeons to rescue Roy's mother. The Sheriff captures them and brings them to the hanging, but the proceedings are interrupted when Annie attacks Gisborne for abandoning their baby. The outlaws break free of their captors and save Roy's mother, and in the attempt Roy gives his life so that the others can escape, screaming aloud his loyalty to Robin and King Richard as the guards stab him to death. Marian helps Annie and her baby to leave Nottingham and start a new life.

They ambush a slave trader who is selling Saracens to the Sheriff's mine and smuggle Allan A Dale into the cage. Allan scares the guards with a rumour of a disease, allowing Robin and the others to set the mine on fire. Before they can do this however, Little John falls into the mine. Meanwhile, in Nottingham, the slave trader arrives and informs the Sheriff of the outlaws' attack on the mine. The Sheriff and Gisborne rush to the mine, but are too late as one of the slaves, Djaq, has rescued John and the outlaws have burnt the mine. A man attempts to kill Marian to get revenge on Gisborne for killing his father, but Marian convinces him to instead win the silver arrow, melt it down into coins, and use it to feed his family.

However, they are tricked and end up locked in a room with no money in it. The sheriff rewards the tax collector for this. Marian argues with her father; reluctant to marry Sir Guy, she goes to the castle to meet a mother superior, the Abbess of Rufford, there in an attempt to become a nun. The mother superior is being held in the castle's chapel by the Sheriff, where the Sheriff is keeping the tax silver secure. Robin and his men manage to escape, whilst the tax-collector and Mother Superior (in fact a team of con artists) steal the silver from the chapel. The sheriff discovers his loss of the treasure too late. Meanwhile, Robin and his band capture the con artists in the woods on their way to Holland. The duo offer to take Robin along with them if they are allowed to pass through and live the high life. However, the outlaws refuse, relieve them of the treasure, and push them into the sewage.
77"Brothers in Arms"Declan O'DwyerJoe Turner18 November 2006 (2006-11-18)
A family reunion between Allan and his brother Tom turns sour when Tom and his crooked friends tag along. Meanwhile, a young couple turn up at Nottingham, asking Sir Guy of Gisbourne to marry them. Gisbourne takes a small necklace off the girl, the only thing of value she has. He then gives it as a gift to Marian, who gives it to Robin to return to the girl. When Gisbourne sees it around the girl's neck again, he suspects that Marian is in league with Robin, and gives it to a local conman named Lucky George, saying that it no longer means anything to him. The Sheriff suspects a spy in the castle is betraying his plans to Robin Hood and orders Gisbourne to set a trap. Gisbourne mistakenly suspects his own sergeant, who dies under torture. The actual culprit is Marian. Eventually Tom and his gang are taken by the Sheriff's men and hanged. In a cruel twist, the Sheriff advances the hanging by an hour, so that by the time Robin and the gang arrive for the rescue they are already too late, and Robin, finding out that Gisborne knows Marian gave the necklace back, goes to get it from Lucky George to find that he does not have it; however, among Tom's possessions is the necklace, which they stole back. While Robin eventually returns the necklace to Marian just in time for her to "prove" her innocence, Marian is forced to promise Sir Guy that—in order to protect herself and her father from the Sheriff—she will marry him the day King Richard returns from his crusade. A devastated Robin listens just outside Marian's upstairs window.
88"Tattoo? What Tattoo?"Declan O'DwyerJulian Mitchell25 November 2006 (2006-11-25)
The episode begins with Robin having a nightmare about attacking a man with a tattoo oh his arm. The outlaws then humiliate Guy of Gisborne and his guests at a feast to celebrate King Richard's birthday by stealing their valuables, including an engagement ring he intended for Marian. Gisborne attempts to stop them and Robin pins him to a wall with a dagger, ripping open his sleeve and revealing a tattoo identical to the assassin's, complete with scar. The Sheriff arrives and the outlaws escape, but inadvertently leave Djaq behind, where she is captured by the Sheriff. Despite Marian's pleas otherwise, Gisborne goes in pursuit of Robin and the stolen ring. Despite his vow not to kill, Robin knocks Gisborne down and prepares to cut his throat, but the other outlaws arrive and stop him. He then tries to convince them that Gisborne is a traitor and should be executed, but the outlaws point out there's been no fair trial such as what Robin has always claimed to champion. At the castle, Djaq manages to escape her cell by using some kind of acid to weaken the bars, but is quickly recaptured. The Sheriff hires her as his new alchemist and locks her in his former alchemist's laboratory. Robin begins beating the bound Gisborne, but is pulled off and knocked unconscious by Little John. Leaving both Robin and Gisborne tied up and guarded by Much, the remaining outlaws sneak into the castle to try to rescue Djaq. She has used her alchemical skills to escape the laboratory, but is unable to escape with them and is once again recaptured. Gisborne responds to Robin's threats by mocking Robin about his 'shortage of friends' and points out that Robin is actually essentially a violent man. Robin unties him and the two men have a fistfight, with Gisborne taunting Robin about winning Marian and living in Robin's old house. At this, Robin knocks Gisbourne unconscious, but then falls back himself. Much returns with Marian and the rest of the outlaws. They get Robin back under control with Marian's help and try in vain to persuade him to exchange Gisborne for Djaq. Despite Robin's objections, the outlaws decide to go through with the exchange. The outlaws arrive with a bound Gisborne, and are soon joined by Robin, who has apparently either guessed or managed to persuade Much to tell him the location. As the prisoners are exchanged, Robin says he didn't agree to this, but has since had a change of heart. He then shouts that he will get justice on Gisborne when Richard returns, and that all he will need to do is show him Gisborne's tattoo. The Sheriff burns off the tattoo with the confiscated acid.

He is arrested after attacking one of the Sheriff's guards. Much is dragged in front of the Sheriff before he can help Lambert. The Sheriff, recognising Much as Robin's right-hand man, appoints him as the Earl of Bonchurch. He also assigns a girl named Eve to the task of spying on Much and reporting back to the Sheriff. Robin breaks into the dungeons and asks Lambert to reveal where the ledger is. Lambert says the ledger is hidden in a water barrel outside the castle and Robin goes off to retrieve it. The Sheriff finds out that Robin knows the whereabouts of the ledger. When Gisborne returns to the castle, the Sheriff tells him about this act of "betrayal". That night, Lambert is tortured to death. Robin visits Much at his new estate and asks him to find out where the Sheriff's three barrels of Greek Fire are hidden. Marian tells Robin that Lambert is dead, and cries on his shoulder. Much is getting along very well with the servant girl Eve, who is suspected of spying on him under the Sheriff's orders. On seeing this, Marian takes him aside and asks him to tell Eve that the ledger is located in a powder barrel. Much agrees, but unknown to him, Eve has been listening at the door. Eve promises to lie to the Sheriff about the ledger's location, and helps Much to escape back into the forest. Before he leaves, he kisses her and swears to return and find her when the Sheriff is gone and justice restored. Eve tells the Sheriff that the ledger is hidden inside one of the barrels of Greek fire. Gisbourne's men are sent to look for it, and are unknowingly followed by Robin. When Gisbourne returns empty-handed, the Sheriff realises that Eve led them into a trap and immediately rides to the mountain with Gisbourne. Unfortunately for the Sheriff and Gisbourne, Robin is waiting for him, and blows up the powder with a well-placed Fire Arrow. Gisbourne is seconds from death when the cave blows up, and only just survives. A furious Sheriff orders Gisbourne to "clean up [his] mess".

Harold tells the gang that it was these women who tattooed their marks on him and drove him mad. Robin and his men go to the castle to rescue Prince Malik.

As the outlaws escape, Will releases the pigeon. The Sheriff unleashes a hawk, which quickly dispatches the small pigeon. Will reveals that the pigeon that was killed had been a decoy, a spare prop bird provided by the fool. Lardner is given this message: "Prince John plots to steal your throne. Make peace--" these two words inserted by Djaq "--and come home immediately."

Tormented by Robin, the Sheriff finds himself sleepwalking straight into Sherwood Forest. By the time Gisborne raises the alarm, Prince John's private army is already on its way, ready to raze Nottingham to the ground at sunset. Gisborne and Marian secretly task Robin with tracking down the Sheriff in the forest. The Sheriff, meanwhile, is getting to grips with nature, and embarks on a journey of rediscovery. Little John is fooled by the Sheriff's poor-man act and brings his enemy right into the heart of the camp. At the castle, Allan finds Will and tries to apologize for his mistakes and asks if he could return to the gang, but Will tells him it's too late. Later, as the towns people arm themselves, Allan tries again to speak to Will and this time Will accepts his apology. Due to Gisborne's status as a Black Knight, he is free to flee the town with any family he may have. Jasper says that Marian can be spared as well - if Guy has married her before sundown. Marian explains that she cannot bring herself to abandon Nottingham, marriage or not. Guy decides to risk his life and stay with her in the castle, saying that if he is going to die, he is going to die at her side. As Prince John's army looms on the horizon, Marian, Gisborne, Will and Allan prepare to fight for their lives alongside the people of Nottingham. Robin comes to the rescue by capturing the Sheriff before he can leave the camp with The Great Pact. Getting him back to the castle just in time, the Sheriff angrily berates an astounded Jasper and sends the army away.
