* AmbiguousSituation: The exact circumstances of how baby Seth ended up in the woods. There's no reason not to believe the circumstances of what the episode lays out: that Guy told Annie he would take their son to Kirklees Abbey, only to abandon him in the forest instead. However, because we never actually ''see'' Guy doing this, a lot of his fans claim it's out-of-character and postulate that he gave the baby to a servant, only for him/her to ditch the baby and pocket the money that was meant to go to Kirklees, thereby absolving Guy of any direct guilt.

* IdiotBall: Robin intervenes at the gates of Clun when the Sheriff's soldiers get a little too aggressive toward Marian, who has come to bring food to the quarantined people. He takes their swords while Roy covers him, but for some reason they then leave these soldiers unattended in order to shoot the food over the walls -- so naturally it's only a matter of a few minutes before the soldiers catch up to them and start firing arrows.

** Also unclear is why Marian choses to go to Clun in broad daylight without disguising herself, instead of just waiting for nightfall and bringing supplies as the Nightwatchman. That she goes publicly just sets her up for the Sheriff finding out, and getting her hair cut as punishment for disobeying his orders.


Added DiffLines:

* ShirtlessScene: Robin whips off his shirt so that Marian can stitch his wound in Clun.

* BrickJoke: After they find the baby, Allan sarcastically asks if they're going to give it a miniature bow and arrow. As the episode concludes, Annie opens the package Will has given her to reveal a miniature bow and quiver of arrows.



* ThisLooksLikeAJobForAquaman: Will Scarlett is a carpenter, and so not only knows who designed the castle doors, but can open them with minimal fuss by tampering with the hinges. This is the ''only'' time we will ever see the outlaws breach the castle interior in this manner -- in later episodes, it's simply a matter of wandering in at their leisure.
