Plot[]
Isabella has ordered her men to capture villagers from Locksley, Clun and Nettlestone to use as soldiers. Robin and the gang, including Guy of Gisborne, manage to stop this. Isabella is fed up with Robin winning all of the time and sets out on a mission to target Robin's weakness, his gang. She starts by persuading Kate's mother to plant Isabella's locket within Robin's belongs to prove that he still loves her. Meanwhile, Archer goes to the castle to meet with Isabella. His half-sister. When he tells her he is her brother she is unimpressed and sends him to the dungeon. He manages to escape. Kate's mother plants the locket in Robin's things. When it falls out in the camp Tuck finds it and shows it to Gisborne who reveals that their mother gave it to Isabella. Much thinks Gisborne brought it in. Kate finds the locket and returns to her mother. Robin and the gang are plotting to take the castle and hold Isabella hostage through a secret tunnel. Gisborne had supervised the building of the tunnel when he was working with the old Sheriff. He says they had "silenced" everyone involved in the building of it. So they all prepare. Meanwhile, Isabella tells Blamire, her right hand man, to read out a fake proclamation to the people of Nottingham revealing that Allan A Dale has been made a free man for his services to Isabella. Tuck and John overhear this. Meanwhile, Archer finds out about the secret tunnel into the castle. He uses it to enter the castle, surprises Isabella , and speaks to her again. He reveals he can get Robin and Gisborne killed. She accepts him as her brother. John runs back in the camp grabbing Allan and branding him a traitor. Pleading his innocence, Allan says he has not betrayed the gang for a second time and finally gets fed up with the gangs mistrust in him and tries to make an exit before John ties him up. Robin, Guy and Much try to get into the castle through the tunnel whilst Tuck and John, accompanied by many villagers, try to stop Blamire and his troops leaving Nottingham by sitting down on the road. In the tunnel, Robin, Guy and Much get caught in Archer's trap and get buried in limestone. Kate's mother tells her the truth, and she returns to the gang and as Blamire is just about to kill Tuck, she steps in the way. A guard goes to strike, but Archer, inspired by the groups courage, saves her and joins their fight. Allan escapes the camp and spots the old Sheriff on the way to Nottingham. He tries to warn Robin only to be killed by a hail of arrows. Archer and Kate save Robin, Guy and Much. Kate tells Robin that Isabella tried to break them apart, and Robin realizes Allan was innocent. They then capture Isabella. As they take the castle Much calls Robin over to see a something wrapped up. They unwrap it and see Allan's corpse. The gang look angry at themselves for not trusting him.
