Ep 4. In the Line of Squire

In the Line of Squire is the fourth episode of the first season of the animated adult comedy series Crossing Swords. It follows the story of Patrick, a good-hearted peasant who dreams of becoming a knight, but is forced to work as a squire for the corrupt and perverse King Merriman.

The episode starts with Patrick and the other squires practicing sword fighting in the courtyard, with their incompetent knight master trying to teach them. But when a group of knights, led by the brave Sir Cedric, arrives at the castle, the squires are excited to hear about their heroic deeds. Patrick is particularly impressed by Sir Cedric, who he sees as a true example of what a knight should be.

Meanwhile, King Merriman's daughter, Princess Blossom, is bored with her royal duties and wants to have more fun. She convinces Patrick to sneak out of the castle with her and her friends, promising him the chance to live like a knight for a night. Patrick, eager to impress Princess Blossom and prove himself as a squire, agrees to the plan.

The group of teenagers sneak out of the castle and head to a nearby village, where they plan to have a wild night of drinking and partying. However, things quickly spiral out of control when they get caught up in a brawl with some rough villagers. Patrick uses his sword fighting skills to defend his friends, but the situation gets out of hand and he is forced to flee.

As Patrick tries to make his way back to the castle, he realizes that he may have jeopardized his chance of becoming a knight, and he is filled with guilt and regret. But when Sir Cedric and the knights come to their aid and save them from the violent villagers, Patrick sees a chance for redemption.

The episode ends on an ambiguous note, leaving the audience wondering what the consequences of Patrick's actions will be and whether he will ever achieve his dream of becoming a knight.

In the Line of Squire is a hilarious and action-packed episode that showcases the show's unique blend of irreverent humor and medieval fantasy.
