Clever Marian! I've really missed her in this story. But now that she's back and clearly as plotting and artful as ever, things are sure to get even more interesting for everyone involved.

Interesting insight into Allan from Marian here. I wonder if she's right and that Allan wouldn't risk himself for John. I mean, I can certainly see why she'd be unsure, but I do wonder if she's not giving him enough credit. On the other hand, it took the entire gang facing certain death in 2x12 for Allan to throw aside all of his new-found security and rush off to help them. So I really don't know what Allan would or wouldn't do to save John. I guess I can see why Marian's unwilling to risk involving him.

But I am really worried about whatever it is that she's planning. Maybe Matilda's right and the fever has scrambled her wits, lol. But Marian and Matilda are each pretty awesome in their own right, so I can only imagine what they can accomplish when they work together. I'm excited to see what they get up to. I only hope they're not too late to save John!

Great chapter, as usual! :)

I think Marian would like to give Allan the benefit of the doubt but just can't quite bring herself to trust him completely. If it were just her own life she was risking she might take a chance on him but John (last seen thumping Allan in the jaw - with bells on) and Matilda as well?

Allan has just risked his life for her by pretending to be the Nightwatchman but that was on Guy's orders and after he chose not to help her in the barn in Locksley when the Nightwatchman was first caught (though he did stop Guy continuing the beating). I think Marian is still very undecided about Allan's true loyalties - as is Allan. He doesn't instantly rush off to help Robin and the gang when he hears of the trap in 2x12 - he has a good long think first.

Marian has a plan - possibly even more than half a plan ;) - but time is running out...

Thanks! (and hope you're feeling better!)
