** Arguably justified by the fact that she thought she'd be coming back with an army when she left and wouldn't need to get back through the Sheriff's camp, so it's unsurprising she got captured.

*** She gets a more brutal one in the end, when [[spoiler: she tries to give a dying Robin a LastKiss]], only for Robin to hold her at arms length and deliberately ''turn his face away from her'' so that she has to settle for a last hug instead. All due credit to Joanne Froggat's acting ability, you can '''see''' [[http://www.robinhood2006.com/gallerys3/Series3/episode13/slides/S3E131152.html the moment on Kate's face]] when she realizes that she's not the woman occupying Robin's thoughts during his final moments. The final slap to her face comes when [[spoiler: we see Robin and Marian TogetherInDeath]].

* TakeThatScrappy: When Kate is complaining about the inclusion of Guy in the outlaw camp, he looks at her calmly and says: "You don't have to like me. '''I''' don't like '''you.'''" After nine episodes of endless whining, Kate ''finally shuts up!'' Guy of Gisborne is the biggest BaseBreaker in this fandom, but in that moment, he was everyone's hero.

* NegatedMomentOfAwesome: In the final episode Kate manages to sneak herself out of the besieged Nottingham Castle in order to fetch King Richard, promising the others that she'll "be back with an army." The move that might well have salvaged this character in the eyes of many is negated when [[DamselScrappy she's captured for the umpteenth time]] due to the fact that King Richard isn't even in the country yet.

* SingleWomanSeeksGoodMan: Though attracted to Guy, this trope is the reason Robin wins her heart.

* EvenEvilHasStandards: Guy expresses reluctance to kill a group of children. Slightly odd considering he had no qualms about exposing his infant son to the elements in the first season.

* RunningGag: The sheer amount of times that Guy is stabbed in the back, both figuratively and literally. Essentially, it's ''every single character'' he ever interacts with: Prince John, the Sheriff, Isabella, Marian, Lambert, Tuck, Allan... Ironically, the only major character that ''doesn't'' betray him is [[spoiler:Robin.]]
