The opening sequence of Go Back To Them is unexpectedly cheesy. Even though Robin Hood is not a huge production, the dream scene — with Priscilla witnessing a hooded man, flames, and the apparition of Godda, the nude blonde deity worshipped by the Saxons — feels straight out of 1980s network TV. Still, it serves its purpose: it shows that Priscilla senses something larger at play and understands, from the very first moment, that Robin and the goddess are bound by a destiny far greater than her own.

The episode picks up immediately after the heist and the official formation of Robin’s band — now embracing the name “Hood,” thanks to his cloak and hood. The group must decide what to do with the stolen money: Robin insists on burying it for now, since spending it would raise suspicion. Spragart complains, but he brightens up once Robin hands him a bag of coins — more than he would earn in a lifetime.

Meanwhile, the nobles answer the Sheriff of Nottingham’s summons. Warwick and Leicester, lifelong rivals, argue but eventually reach a tacit agreement on the plan to hunt the outlaw. The Bishop of Hereford, still frail, tries to stay out of the chaos, but Priscilla confronts him about the attack and reveals she saw Robin in her dreams — a sign, to her, of the end of the Normans.

Robin, however, is drowning in guilt and anger over the deaths piling up around him. He decides the Merry Men should split, since soldiers are hunting the whole band. Ralph tries to stop him, but fails. Tuck and Little John head deeper into the forest; Robin sets off alone toward Godda’s cave; and Spragart ignores all caution and goes to spend his coins in the tavern.

Meanwhile, the Sheriff is outraged at Milange, the loyal servant who dared defend Priscilla with a knife. He orders his execution. Priscilla cannot overturn her father’s command — an act of desperate loyalty must now be punished — but she does help Milange escape, slipping him money in secret.

The hunt for Robin begins in Sherwood. Apart, the Merry Men quickly realize what they’ve lost: that fleeting sense of family Tuck describes so tenderly.

Movements in Nottingham reach Queen Eleanor’s ears, and she immediately grows suspicious. Sending 200 men to capture a mere outlaw is excessive — and she wasn’t even informed. Her concern is political: Eleanor is working tirelessly to secure the throne for her son Richard, while Henry II favors John. Their toxic marriage grows darker when we learn she even controls her husband’s mistress, maneuvering to “shorten” the king’s life if necessary.

Just in case, Eleanor dispatches the Earl of Pembroke to investigate Nottingham. At the same time, the Court finally receives word of Marian’s brother’s death. She reacts in confusion and grief, unsettled by the circumstances.

Will tries to comfort her. He explains the political strategy that put him and Marian in Nottingham: the region is too central to fall under Eleanor’s influence, so Henry II placed his relative there (the sheriff). Eleanor, however, wants Marian as a spy — she’s Priscilla’s friend and the daughter of a lord. What no one knows is that Marian is also the great love of rising rebel Robin Hood.

The search in Nottingham yields nothing. Separated, the Merry Men wander through the forest, while Spragart’s reckless spending of stolen money catches soldiers’ attention.

Deep within Sherwood, guided by visions of Godda, Robin finally reaches the sacred cave. Inside, he faces an old wolf and forms a silent pact with the creature. He then receives a vision of his dead father, who tells him that his destiny is to avenge the Saxons, always guided by his heart. The message is clear: return and reunite your group.

But destiny moves faster. The Miller brothers return home only to be betrayed and handed over to the Sheriff’s soldiers, who burn their houses and fields. From afar, Robin sees the smoke and rushes back, but it’s too late: the family is dragged before the Sheriff and tortured to reveal Robin Hood’s identity and whereabouts.

As Godda foretold, Robin finds FriarTuck, Little John, and Spragart exactly where they had split. Together, they decide to rescue the Millers — and naturally, Tuck is the mastermind behind the plan.

Rosemary (Ralph) is tortured and confesses to participating in the robbery. The Sheriff prepares to torture Henry next — who, being unable to speak, would reveal nothing even under pain — but the Bishop steps in, confirming Ralph’s confession and speeding the brothers’ path to the gallows.

Disguised as monks, Robin and the Merry Men infiltrate the square to rescue the Millers. The plan works: Robin Hood, hooded, is seen leaping across rooftops. He tries to shoot the Sheriff, but when the man dodges, his arrow hits Priscilla’s arm instead. Ralph kisses Robin in gratitude for saving their family. Milange resurfaces to save Little John and joins the Merry Men as they flee into the forest.

Now that Priscilla is wounded, things have turned deeply personal. And worse: the Sheriff discovers that Pemberley is in Nottingham as the Queen’s eyes. What began as a petty confrontation is now escalating into the beginnings of an armed rebellion. Sherwood, at last, has become the center of the war.
