Robin of Sherwood season 3 episode 7, titled "Cromm Cruac," follows the Mighty Oak Brotherhood as they visit an old friend, Tuck, at his church. They soon find out that Tuck has gone missing and they suspect he was taken by the Celts, who worship the ancient god Cromm Cruac.
The group sets out to find Tuck and comes across a village that has been raided by the Celts. They rescue the survivors and learn that the Celts are demanding a sacrifice in exchange for Tuck's release. The sacrifice must be a young girl, which forces the group to make a tough decision.
While trying to come up with a plan to rescue Tuck without sacrificing an innocent life, the Mighty Oak Brotherhood meets a druid named Bran who claims to be able to communicate with Cromm Cruac. He agrees to help them in exchange for their promise to not harm any of the Celts.
The group, including Bran, infiltrates the Celtic camp and discovers that Tuck is being held captive with the young girl that the Celts are planning to sacrifice. A battle ensues and the Mighty Oak Brotherhood is successful in rescuing Tuck and the young girl. However, they are faced with the challenge of deciding what to do with Bran, who has proven to be both a valuable ally and a potential threat.
In the end, the group learns that not all Celts worship Cromm Cruac and that the sacrifices are being demanded by a fanatic sect. They also realize the importance of following their own moral code and not compromising their values, even in the face of difficult choices.
"Cromm Cruac" is a thrilling episode of Robin of Sherwood that explores themes of sacrifice, morality, and allyship. It showcases the strengths and weaknesses of each character and highlights the importance of standing up for what is right, even in the face of danger.
