Walkabout

The Walkabout
Season 2, Episode 10

Tormented by Robin, the Sheriff sleepwalks into Sherwood Forest on the day that Prince John's messenger, Jasper, arrives to check all is well in Nottingham. By the time Gisborne raises the alarm, Prince John's private army is on its way, ready to burn Nottingham at sunset.

Drastic action is called for, so while keeping up appearances with Jasper, Gisborne and Marian secretly task Robin with tracking down the Sheriff in the forest.

Meanwhile, the Sheriff is getting to grips with nature and embarks on a journey of rediscovery. When he comes across some scheming beggars - a mother and her 3 children - intent on fleecing Robin, he realizes he can get his hands on the Pact at last. Little John is fooled by the Sheriff's blind, poor-man disguise and allows the enemy into the heart of the camp. As sunset and oblivion draw closer, and Prince John's army looms on the horizon, Gisborne risks his life standing by Marian as they fight together to save the people of Nottingham. Only Robin can truly save them.

We are all too swiftly coming to the end of this season; there are only 2 more episodes. Lucy Griffiths - who plays Marian - is rumored to not return for a 3rd season, but I really hope this is just a rumor. Marian is a wonderful role model for young girls - and big girls like me!
