A mysterious figure forces Robin and Gisborne to hear the story of their past. The truth about their parents is exposed and a huge revelation rocks them both to the core. As the strange figure shows his face, Robin and Gisborne know their lives will never be the same again.

Tropes

  • Death by Falling Over: Ghislaine, Gisborne and Isabella's mother, gets elbowed in the face, falls over, and dies.
  • Disappeared Dad: Robin's father Malcolm, believed dead until this episode, is revealed to have been living as a hermit in Sherwood Forest this whole time.
  • Long-Lost Uncle Aesop: Robin's father Malcolm has been wandering Sherwood Forest for the entire duration of the show without ever bothering to get in touch with his eldest son. He reappears to tell Robin and Guy about their mutual half-brother Archer, and then once again disappears forever.
  • Three-Month-Old Newborn: Newborn Archer looks at least six months old.
  • The Voiceless: Isabella appears as a child in this episode, but doesn't get a single line of dialogue.
  • Whole Episode Flashback: Aside from the framing device, in which Robin's father tells the story of their half-brother to Guy and Robin, this episode takes place entirely in the past.
