Robin Hood Finale Spoilers!


Episode 3x13 "Something Worth Fighting For (Part 2)"


The real Sheriff of Nottingham is back from the dead and, what's more, he has amassed a formidable professional fighting force outside of Nottingham Castle, where Robin Hood and his allies are holed up, in the concluding episode of the medieval drama.

Tension is high and the Sheriff is gloating and spoiling for a fight. His army has sophisticated, fearsome weaponry and it's aimed at those sheltering inside the castle walls. The Sheriff wants his town back, and now.

Robin tries to keep spirits up and shouts commands in the castle – every able-bodied person must fight once the battle begins. Devious and deadly Isabella, meanwhile, remains locked in the dungeon. Still reeling from the death of Allan, Robin and Gisborne ride out to meet their nemesis face to face.

The Sheriff tells Robin that if he gives Gisborne and Isabella to him, he may spare the bloodshed. The Sheriff goads Robin with the sheer terrifying scale of his new army, which he promises will squash Robin's outnumbered motley crew.

Robin and Gisborne are not intimated and turn and ride, side by side, back into Nottingham Castle, as the Sheriff catapults a fireball into the castle forecourt. It explodes and there are casualties. Archer, who has been inspired to join Robin Hood's side, recognises the weapon as a Byzantine fireball which he's responsible for bringing back from the Orient.

Tuck, meanwhile, shows a surprising knowledge of such substances for a man of the cloth. Both men realise it causes destruction on a scale hitherto unknown – it's deadly and repels water like oil and now it's in the hands of The Sheriff.

Will the fight for England and King Richard end in tragedy?
