Robin Hood Episode 5 recap – Go Back to Them

Robin Hood Episode 5 makes the fight even bigger. Robin and his outlaws cause more trouble for the Sheriff. After they attack the Bishop of Hereford, the Sheriff gets scared. He knows Robin’s group is a real danger now.

So the Sheriff calls for help. He asks the Earls of Leicester and Warwick to bring soldiers. The two earls don’t like each other, but they still agree to help.

The Earl of Huntingdon also wants answers. He asks the Sheriff if Robert Locksley (Robin) was part of the attack. The Sheriff refuses to tell him the truth. He knows Huntingdon might act without thinking and ruin the Sheriff’s plans.

Robin Hood Episode 5 shows more fighting and more secrets, both in the forest and at court. The Sheriff’s army and his allies march to Stafford’s Mill to catch Robin and his friends and take back the treasure.

Robert only wants to keep everyone safe. Henry Miller is hurt, so Robert and Friar Tuck help him. Robert then understands something important: If they all stay together, they will all be caught. So Robert makes a plan. They hide the stolen coins under a big oak tree. Then he tells the Merry Men to split up.

Spragart and Little John go toward Nottingham in Robin Hood Episode 5. The Miller siblings go back to their village. Robert hides alone in a secret cave once used by the old Saxon hero Eadric. The group doesn’t like leaving each other, but they agree. They promise to meet again at the oak tree if there is danger.

Meanwhile, at Westminster, Marian hears the sad news that her brother has died. This makes her think more about why she is at Queen Eleanor’s court.

Will Gamewell tells her the truth: Marian is important because the Queen wants to help Prince Richard become the next king, not Prince John, whom Henry II prefers. Marian is friends with Priscilla, the Sheriff’s daughter. Because of this, Marian can learn secrets about what the Sheriff is planning. This makes her a key spy in the growing conflict.

Even though Robert told everyone to split up, the outlaws end up coming back together. Spragart can’t stop himself from showing off his gold in Nottingham. The Sheriff’s men notice him, but Little John saves him just in time.

They go back to the big oak tree to get the hidden coins. The Miller siblings go home, but someone in their village reports them. The Sheriff’s soldiers catch them, burn the village crops, and take the siblings to Nottingham. They are going to be executed, which makes the danger even worse for Robin Hood and his friends.

Friar Tuck is traveling alone when he meets a kind family in Robin Hood Episode 5. They make him think about how important family and loyalty are. He decides to go to the big oak tree.

At the oak tree, he meets Little John and Spragart again. Robert sees smoke from the Millers’ village and learns they have been captured. He hurries back to bring everyone together. Isabel joins them, too. The Merry Men are together again and ready to fight.

The rescue in Nottingham is very dangerous. Robert stands on a balcony and shoots arrows at the soldiers. Tuck and Spragart dress up as priests so they can sneak in and free the Miller siblings. Little John starts a fire in a tavern to distract the guards. Isabel drives a carriage to help everyone escape. Milange, a young friend who was once locked up by the Sheriff, helps too. Together, they rescue the Millers and get away safely in Robin Hood Episode 5.

Robin Hood Episode 5 ends with two big moments. First, Ralph, whose real name is Rosemary, kisses Robert. This shows they may start to like each other.

Second, during the rescue, Robert tries to shoot the Sheriff but accidentally hurts the Sheriff’s daughter, Priscilla. This creates a new problem and makes the Sheriff even angrier.

The Merry Men come back together and decide to keep fighting for the people. Meanwhile, the Sheriff and Priscilla now want to catch them more than ever.
