History Recap / RobinHoodS02E02BoobyAndTheBeast

* ATeamMontage: The start of the episode shows the outlaws stealing money in their own unique ways: Little John and Much disguise themselves as guards to steal the tax money, Djaq pulls a DistractedByTheSexy ploy on a guard so Will can lift a chest of money with a grappling hook, and Allan is busy pick-pocketing a nobleman.

Back in Nottingham Castle, the Sheriff orders Marian to pander to every whim of Count Frederick, who has arrived to play at the casino. But Friedrich then finds out that the Sheriff has a plan that will ensure he loses. Marian then gains a vital ally. He then helps Robin think up a plan to break into the strongroom. In order to increase the Sheriff's losses Friedrich agrees to lose all his winnings to the Sheriff after a given signal from Djaq, working undercover; however, the double-agent Allan has told Gisborne about Robin's plans and Gisborne doubles the traps in place. Robin gets out, sending the Sheriff into a rage; back in Sherwood Forest, Friedrich gives Robin another full chest of riches to feed the needy.

Robin underestimates the Strong Room's array of deathly traps, Robin decides to think up an entirely new plan. He decides to track down the Strong Room's designers: unfortunately, Gisborne has killed most of them to ensure their silence. Robin finds the sole survivor: the now blind designer called Stephen and together, Stephen, Robin and his gang practise fighting the room's deadly traps.

* HandicappedBadass: Steven may be blind, but he isn't defenseless.

* OutOfCharacterMoment: At the end of episode, Allan is oddly affectionate towards Much (who he bickers with more than any other outlaw), indicating his guilty conscience.

* SheCleansUpNicely: This is the episode in which Djaq finally wears a dress and glams herself up, with [[HeadTurningBeauty predictable reactions]] from her male comrades.

* FakeOutMakeOut: Marian and Count Frederick after they've been to see the outlaws in Sherwood.

* ObfuscatingStupidity: [[spoiler:The count is much smarter than he lets on.]]

* HeadTurningBeauty: Djaq presents herself as overtly feminine for the first time, with a clingy dress and a flower in her hair, getting unique reactions from all the other outlaws sans Robin -- Little John discreetly looks impressed, Much declares: "I didn't recognize you!", Will is rendered a staring, speechless ninny, and Allan manages a suave comment, earning himself a gratified smile from Djaq.

Tropes

BriefAccentImitation: Dexter Fletcher's German accent.

ObfuscatingStupidity: [[spoiler:The count is much smarter than he lets on.]]

CrazyJealousGuy: Guy really didn't seem to like seeing Friedrich and Marian kissing. On a far lesser note, Robin didn't seemed pleased that the two are on such good terms either.

InsultBackfire: Guy tells Marian: "It wasn't so hard was it?" (Referring to her 'seduction' of Count Friedrich) To which she replies: "No, it wasn't". Considering her relationship with Guy, it may have come off to him as a "anyone is better than you" message.

HandicappedBadass: Steven may be blind, but he isn't defenceless.

OutOfCharacterMoment: At the end of episode, Allan is oddly warm towards Much (who he bickers with more than any other outlaw), indicating his guilty conscious.
