(ep.#2.5) 1997Writen by: David SloanDirected by: Joe Coppoletta
While Marion has her eyes on the exquisite fabrics at the local marketplace, Little John is setting his sights on Miss Claire Bostitch, a beautiful young school teacher. Tuck is busy looking over clay pottery jars when Little John knocks one out of his hands. 10 year-old Peter, the son of the pottery shop owner, runs back to the store for a replacement. Robin races him there. Just as they enter, Robin spots a time bomb so he grabs Peter and bolts for the door. KABOOM!!! The store blows up with Robin and Peter narrowly escaping. Robin, Marion, Little John and Friar Tuck take off after the vicious attackers.

Master Ika is back, making another explosive entrance, with the help of his troop of Samurai warriors. It seems as if everyone is in the mood for a fight as Robin confronts Ika and the rest face-off with his warriors. Marion is as good as dead as one of the Samurai wields a sword at her back until a deadly arrow saves her by taking out the Samurai. She turns to see where the arrow came from only to find Sir Guy has fired the killing shot. A confused Ika and his Samurai disperse, leaving Sir Guy and a couple of his men surrounded by our puzzled heroes.

Sir Guy has returned from the Crusades to win over his beloved Marion, vowing to her, as well as to Robin and the rest, that his time away has changed him. He is now a man of compassion who wants only to fight the good fight alongside Robin. Marion wants to believe him, but Robin is skeptical. He sees no reason to feel otherwise. Perhaps he is jealous? Or maybe he is just intuitive?

Guess who Sir Guy has developed a partnership with? That's right! Master Ika has been brought in by Sir Guy to kill Robin and make Sir Guy look like a hero?the ultimate way to win the love of Marion.

A mysterious note appears warning Robin and the rest that a bomb will destroy the schoolhouse in the town of Capston if a hefty ransom is not paid. Our heroes arrive at the scene, where Sir Guy just happens to be doling out charity to the villagers. They clear everyone from the schoolhouse just as - KABOOM!!! The schoolhouse explodes into flames. It seems as if all heads have been counted except for the beautiful schoolteacher, Claire. Little John starts frantically digging through the rubble to get her. Sir Guy convinces everyone to bring the wounded Claire back to his castle and stay as his guests while his doctor takes care of her.

Sir Guy does everything in his power to woo Marion during her stay. He is almost successful, but then Marion admits that she is in love with another man, leaving Sir Guy devastated and quietly vengeful. Meanwhile, Robin has been watching the exchange from a distance and believes that he may be losing the only woman he's ever loved.

In the morning, Robin wakes to find a crumpled note marking the tavern as the next target. Marion is nowhere to be found!!! Sir Guy and Robin tear out of the castle and arrive in time to find Marion perilously stuck in a trap that was obviously set for Robin. Robin and Sir Guy are forced to work together to free Marion. Sir Guy and Marion make it out of the tavern when KABOOM - the tavern is detonated... Robin is no where to be found.Sir Guy tries to comfort a devastated Marion as they return to his castle.

"The Road To Royston"
(ep.#2.6) 1997Writen by: Mike AshworthDirected by: Terry Bedford
Robin, disguised as a beggar, saves a beautiful, young woman, Gwynedd, concealed in a nun's habit, from a band of mercenaries. As they make their escape, she tells him that she is going to the town of Royston to rescue her sister, Bernadette, who has been sentenced to hang by the powerful Baron Royston. Robin sends word by way of Mrs. Turnbull, a woman who at one time had been the Locksley cook, for Marion, Tuck and Little John to meet him at an Inn outside of Royston.

Just as Mrs. Turnbull arrives at Robin's camp with the news, Little John discovers that his younger sister, Ingrid, has run off to Royston to find a husband. Little John, Marion and Tuck waste no time hitting the trail.

Robin and Gwynedd, no longer incognito, are headed for Royston. On their journey, Gwynedd tells Robin about the troubles in Royston: Drugo, Baron Royston's right hand man, is in love with Bernadette. He tried to take her hand in marriage but she refused, as she was in love with someone else. The Baron would not let Drugo do away with Bernadette and her love, but did take them prisoner in his castle.

Robin and Gwynedd run into Barkley and abscond with his wagon. Drugo spots the two and pursues them. Robin and Gwynnedd narrowly escape death when their wagon plunges over a mountainside. Kemal, who has infiltrated Drugo's band, is sent to check the wreckage. After finding Robin and Gwenydd, he joins them in heading for the inn outside Royston.

Headed back to Royston, Drugo picks up an eager hitchhiker, Ingrid, who rides with them to the village. In the meantime, our heroes have all gathered at the inn, where Robin details their plan.

In Royston, we see that the Baron controls the town with an iron fist. All the townspeople have gathered to witness Gwynedd's execution and her fate seems sealed. But wait, is that Robin galloping to the rescue?

"The Myster Druid's Grove"
(ep.#2.7) 1997Writen by: Sandra WeintraubDirected by: Harley Cokeliss
Slavers are kidnapping villagers so they can auction them off to the highest Norman bidders. The slavers are led by Brand, a tyrant who uses a magical silver whip that immobilizes people instantly upon contact. Brand's quest for riches takes him and his retinue to a village near Sherwood Forest.

His most recent captives, who will surely earn him great financial reward, are Kemal and his sworn Princess Kadija. The two had been promised to each other at birth. Only the enchanted whip could bring down the impassioned Kemal, a ferocious fighter, when he desperately tried to save his love from capture.

Brand's raid on the village draws out Robin, Little John, Tuck and Marion. Marion's face and thoughts tell the story of a previous encounter with the intruder. He captures Chloe, a young beautiful villager, and on his way out, he nails Little John with the whip, knocking him unconscious. Marion tells Tuck and Robin not to worry as he will regain consciousness in a few minutes. How does she know that? When Tuck asks her about her familiarity with Brand, she evades the question.

Robin, Marion and Tuck set off and find Brand's hideaway. Robin penetrates the territory and discovers that a big slave auction for rich Normans will take place the next day. While Robin is involved inside, Marion divulges to Tuck her past with Brand. He needed to take a young woman of purity to Druid Grove in order to get the enchanted whip of Cragamon. She was used for this evil task and humiliated by Brand. From that day forward, her sworn destiny has been to kill Brand and send the whip back where it belongs.

The next day, Robin and Marion dress for the occasion and infiltrate the auction while Tuck and Little John masquerade as royal carriage drivers. Robin and the group release the prisoners and a brawl ensues. During the battle, Marion lassoes the whip and sends it back to the tomb of Cragamon in Druid Grove by using the incantations she learned in her youth. A furious Brand kidnaps Kadija and escapes with her and few henchmen out a secret exit. Marion knows where they're going. Druid Grove. Since Marion has been there before, she leads them on this treacherous journey.

"The Legion of The Amazons"
(ep.#2.8) 1997Writen by: Cornelia Gink & Sandra WeintraubDirected by: Michale Ohayon
King Richard has found a way to beat the evil Muslim leader Saladin. The Amazons of Queen Eleanore of Aquitaine escort her to Jerusalem to find a map that can only be read by the Queen. This map will lead them to the fabled Staff of Moses which was reportedly hidden deep in a mysterious cave in England. With this magical staff they can defeat Saladin.

But Saladin's infidels, led by Salim, have also learned of the map and will stop at nothing to find the mystical staff themselves. Devlin, a weasely antique collector hired by Salim, is threatened that he will never collect anything else again if he does not get the staff.

Meanwhile, Robin Hood gets word from the Queen that she and her Amazons will be arriving in England, so Robin and Marion set out to meet them.

Upon the Amazons' arrival in England, they are attacked by Salim's mercenaries. Robin and Marion join the fray as Devlin sneaks off with Eleanor and the map.

Although distrusting of Robin, being that he is a man, Silea and Ayla, the two lead Amazons, are at a loss and realize that they must put their faith in Robin and Marion if they hope to find Queen Eleanore. They find the Queen's scarf along a path which leads them to Devlin's castle.

Meanwhile, Devlin is determined to extract the secrets of the map from the Queen. Not only does the map show the way to the staff, but there is a spell encoded within it that can break the curse that has kept the staff protected for so long. Realizing that she is completely unwilling to help him, Devlin presents the Queen with a gift, a dragon's tooth necklace of truth. She can no longer hide the information from her captor. They head toward the cave where the staff is buried.

Queen Eleanore finally manages to escape Devlin, but her freedom does not last for long as she runs into Salim, who has lost his patience and is now searching for the staff himself.

All search parties converge upon the cave at the same time only to find a series of deadly, complicated traps protecting the blessed staff. Is it too dangerous or will someone actually be able to leave with the Staff? And who would that person be?

Prince John is having his tarot cards read by his personal sorceress Mortiana who spots trouble in his future. She abruptly disappears to warn her friend Olwyn of the impending threat.

Malenoch, the evil sorcerer, has returned with the magic specter of Merlin. His purpose is to destroy Olwyn and Mortiana and rule all England. His plan is to murder his victims and then use the magic scepter to turn them into an army of zombies.

Marion finds a frightened boy in the forest who has witnessed the work of Malenoch. Once satisfied that the boy's story is true, Robin and his cohorts ride to Olwyn's cave to seek his advice. Olwyn explains that Malenoch's magic scepter gives him immense power. Olwyn alone cannot defeat him. The only way he can try to stop him is to join forces with Prince John and Mortiana.

While Malenoch and his army ride toward the castle the plan is laid out by Olwyn for the scepter to be brought to the crypt, the lowest point of the castle. Olwyn and Mortiana must rely on magic and faith to destroy it. Robin vows to get the scepter.

Malenoch and his undead army arrive at the castle. Robin interrupts Malenoch's wagon and captures the scepter as the rest of the crew battles it out with the undead. Malenoch's army is huge.

"Justice for All"
(ep.#2.11) 1997Writen by: David Sloan & Sandra WeintraubDirected by: Joe Coppoletta
Father Dutton, a misguided preacher of the Christian faith, has single-handedly divided the once peaceful town of Redthorne in two. His Christians reside in the well kept portion while the Celtic Druids are confined to a ghetto. Father Dutton has also imposed an embargo on all supplies for the Druids to starve them out. Fortunately, some of the good Christians don't argue with his methods.

Gerald Degas (special guest star Montel Williams), a philanthropist as well as Robin's former tutor, and a young, determined Druid, Deidre, are determined to bring back goods and food to the Druids. Their secret exchange with a sympathetic Christian shop owner is disrupted when Dutton and his Templar Knights show up. The shop owner is murdered by Dutton who then apprehends Deidre and takes her back to his castle. Degas is wounded in the scuffle.

Degas manages to find Robin's camp. He details the history of Dutton and Redthorne to Robin and the rest. Dugas knows that Dutton will falsely accuse Deidre of killing the shop owner to prove a point and further drive a wedge between the two sects. After hearing this news, Robin rides off to Redthorne!

"Percy's Ghost"
(ep.#2.12) 1997Writen by: Leslie WoodyDirected by: Vicangelo Bulluck
Robin's friend Lord Hazelmere (Michael Clifford) offers to help Robin end the tyrannical rule of Prince John. Hazelmere must confer in person with three other powerful lords, but assembling them is risky because Prince John's spies and Assassin are very crafty. Hazelmere dispatches Marion, Tuck and Little John to gather the lords safely, after which Robin will bring them to meet Hazelmere in a secret location.

Each lord presents a certain difficulty to Robin's friends. Marion dodges the relentless romantic efforts of Lord Valentin; Tuck must prove his identity to the skeptical Earl of Whitecliffe (Larry Marmorstein); and Little John gingerly transports the frail, aged Lord Stanhope (Maxwell Meltzer) to safety.

Numerous obstacles almost prevent the covert meeting. During one incident, Robin's childhood friend Percy is killed, leaving his wife, Gillian. Percy becomes a spirit that only Robin can see. He helps Robin unite Hazelmere with the other lords. As his last act before going to Heaven, Percy materializes long enough to save Gillian's life and say goodbye to her.

"Your Land Is My Land"
(ep.#2.13) 1997Writen by: Steve BarnettDirected by: Andy Armstrong
In an unusual move, the Saxon lord Bryant sold the local farmers their land before setting out for the Crusades. Now, after an unsuccessful harvest in his own shire, the greedy Norman, Lord Rupert, has figured out a way to recoup his losses. Using violence and fear tactics, Rupert's son Gregory is trying to get the Saxon farmers to sign their deeds over to Lord Rupert.

The extortion ploy had worked like a charm until Gregory arrives at William Little's farm. Yes, that would be Little John's brother. Robin, Marion and Little John arrive at the farm moments later to find Gregory terrorizing the Little family. Robin lets Gregory know that he will not stand for this and sends Gregory back to his father with his tail between his legs. Robin, Marion and Little John inquire as to the whereabouts of the local magistrate, Marcus of Brandwyn, an old friend of Robin's, but no one will give them an answer.

Gregory returns to his castle, only to have his father berate him for not bringing back the deeds. He explains to his father that Robin Hood got in the way. Not good enough! Lord Rupert demands that Gregory bring Robin to the castle.

Back in town, Robin, Marion, and Little John meet Renata, an old flame of Little John's, and her young friend, Joshua, a sixteen year old with mystical, telekinetic powers, who hero-worships Robin. Renata and Joshua take our heroes to a meeting where the farmers are discussing how to protect their land against Rupert. One of the farmers interjects stating that he thinks Rupert's offer is fair and that people should take it. An opposing Robin stands up and persuades the villagers that they need to fight for their land, for their children and for their future. His plea is suddenly interrupted by Gregory and his soldiers. A fight breaks out resulting in Robin capturing Gregory.

Robin takes Gregory and locks him in the local jail where he finds a filthy, inebriated Marcus. When Joshua can't even look at the drunkard, Robin realizes that Joshua is Marcus's son.

Lord Rupert is outraged by the abduction of his son Gregory and kidnaps Joshua in order to make an exchange with Marcus.
