to:

* DeathSeeker: Guy appears to have become one. Robin too, to a lesser extent. The latter gets over it, at least long enough to last the course of the third series.


Added DiffLines:

* MilesToGoBeforeISleep: Robin is ready to throw in the towel and go on a SuicideMission to kill Gisborne in a TakingYouWithMe MurderSuicide -- but circumstances bring him down off the ledge, as do Marian's final words to him to "keep fighting for me". He vows to go on, though by the GrandFinale [[spoiler:he's clearly emotionally and mentally exhausted, and finally gets to succumb to death and join Marian in the afterlife]].

Tuck shows Robin how much the people need him, but all Robin cares about is revenge – even if it means getting killed in the process. Tuck needs a new plan. He needs to take drastic action and risk everything. So Tuck tells Gisborne that Hood's body is buried at Dead Man's Crossing, while also telling the Outlaws that Robin lives and wants to meet them at the same place. Tuck watches, secretly, as the Outlaws are captured by Gisborne.

* CrusadingWidower: For this single episode, Robin is driven solely by vengeance for Guy's murder of Marian. Tuck walks him back from the ledge, he recommits himself to serving the people, and by the next episode he's pretty much back to normal.



* ImpliedDeathThreat: Jasper drops one of these to Vaisey when he protests the impossibility of paying the Prince 1000 crowns a month, pointing out John's protection is the only thing that kept Vaisey's head on his shoulders and that if he doesn't justify that faith, John might decide to just cut his losses.
-->'''Vaisey''': This is impossible!

Robin realises he must return to being Robin Hood, firstly by saving his men. Luckily, Tuck has a master plan and, with the help of Tuck and an eclipse, Robin saves his men. He then confronts Gisborne but, instead of killing him, Robin realises a far worse punishment is to leave him living in hell...

* ImpossibleTask: Although not directly stated, it is implied that meeting the new tax of 1,000 crowns a month is ''not'' something the Sheriff is seriously meant to be able to sustain; he directly calls it "impossible" the moment he hears about it, and his struggles to raise the money in time drive the plot of most episodes between now and [[Recap/RobinHoodS03E06DoYouLoveMe "Do You Love Me?"]], when Prince John appears in person.

* ArmorPiercingResponse: Tuck gives one to Robin when the despondent hero asks Tuck why his fight matters so much to the priest.
-->'''Robin''': Whay are you doing this?! Why does it matter so much to you?!
-->'''Tuck''': Because I have nothing in my life but my God and my country. I have no family, no wife, but I have a full heart, and passion must go somewhere, Robin.


Added DiffLines:

* BigNo: Gisborne gets two: one at the beginning of the episode when a vengeful Robin tells him Marian married him, and again when he sees Robin is still alive.
** Tuck also lets out one when he thinks Robin is about to murder a helpless Gisborne.
* CombatPragmatist: After seeing Tuck easily beat John and Allan, Much decides discretion is the better part of valour.

Added DiffLines:

* DespairSpeech: Robin gives one to Tuck, insisting that he gave everything he had for the people of Nottingham and it cost him everything; his home, his title and the love of his life.
-->'''Tuck''': Every day it gets worse. Injustice, cruelty, corruption...these people suffer and they starve. And you'll abandon them? ''[Robin walks away]'' Robin! Where are you going?
-->'''Robin''': [[DespairEvenHorizon I can't help them. I have nothing else to give]].
-->'''Tuck''': [[YouAreBetterThanYouThinkYouAre You will believe in yourself again, I know it]].
-->'''Robin''': ''[angry]'' I struggled, I fought, I gave ''everything'' I had! [[TheLostLenore I even gave the life of the woman I love]]!
* HesBack: With Tuck's help, Robin does this in ''spectacular'' fashion, rescuing Much, John and Allan and humiliating Vaisey and Gisborne in the process.
-->'''Tuck''': You see, the sun emerges again, like England's protector - his journey is complete. He appears into the light and he will save you. He has returned. The legend is alive!
-->'''Jasper''': [[SarcamMode Surprise, surprise]]!
-->'''Gisborne''': [[ThisCannotBe No, it can't be--]]
-->'''Vaisey''': ''[to Gisborne] '''[[SurroundedByIdiots YOU INCOMPETENT... FOOL]]!!!'''''
-->'''Gisborne''': [[BigNo NOOOOOOO]]! ''[Robin pins Gisborne and Vaisey to the wall with arrows]''
-->'''Robin''': I am Robin Hood, your humble servant! [[WeHelpTheHelpless It is for you that I live to fight the evil that chokes this country]]! [[FightingForAHomeland No longer shall we live in fear and darkness! We must stand together! Only then will the sun rise on this country, our England ONCE MORE]]!
* ImpliedDeathThreat: Jasper drops one of these to Vaisey when he protests the impossibility of paying the Prince 1000 crowns a month, pointing out John's protection is the only thing that kept Vaisey's head on his shoulders and that if he doesn't justify that faith, John might decide to just cut his losses.
-->'''Vaisey''': This is impossible!
-->'''Jasper''': Count yourself lucky; the King [[OffWithHisHead wanted your head on a spike]]. Prince John protected you and demands that you repay his loyalty, otherwise he'll be obliged to...
-->'''Vaisey''': ''[unnerved]'' What?!
-->'''Jasper''': [[YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness Let you go]].
* TheMourningAfter: Robin is still clearly heartbroken by Marian's death. Tuck convinces him that the Sheriff and Gisborne still need to be fought, and the episode ends with him burying Marian's ring beneath a tree.
-->'''Robin''': I will ''never'' stop loving you.

* DeathSeeker: Guy appears to have become one.
* TeethClenchedTeamwork: While Gisborne and Vaisey are still united in their desire to destroy Robin, it's pretty clear that their failure in the Holy Land and Marian's death has irrevocably poisoned their relationship.
-->'''Vaisey''': You pathetic, misery-addled mess. You are teetering on the brink of dispensability, Gisborne; see that you don't fall off.
-->'''Gisborne''': You know, I've come to the conclusion that I ''really'' don't like you.
