As the fourteenth episode of the first season of Watership Down, Prisoner of Efrafa depicts the continuation of the battle that was initiated in the previous episode. The rabbits of Watership Down continue to face the danger of General Woundwort and his army of Efrafa, as the latter seeks to capture them and reassert his authority. The episode opens with the capture of Hawkbit and Blackavar, two rabbits from Watership Down who had ventured near Efrafa to scout out the enemy. While Hawkbit is released by Woundwort as a warning, Blackavar is taken prisoner and is sentenced to be executed.
Meanwhile, Hazel and the other rabbits of Watership Down are devising a plan to rescue Blackavar, as well as other rabbits who have been captured by Efrafa. They are aided in their mission by a group of rabbits from Cowslip's warren, who have agreed to help Watership Down in their fight against Efrafa. The two groups of rabbits agree to work together, and they begin to strategize a way to infiltrate Efrafa and rescue the prisoners.
As the episode progresses, the tension between the rabbits of Watership Down and Efrafa continues to mount. General Woundwort becomes increasingly fixated on capturing Hazel and the other rabbits, going so far as to set a trap for them in the hopes of catching them off guard. The Watership Down rabbits are able to avoid the trap, but they know they must remain vigilant if they hope to succeed in their mission.
The episode concludes with the Watership Down rabbits successfully rescuing Blackavar and the other prisoners from Efrafa. While they are able to avoid a direct confrontation with General Woundwort, it is clear that the tension between the two groups of rabbits will continue to escalate in future episodes.
Overall, Prisoner of Efrafa is an intense and action-packed episode that depicts the ongoing struggle between the rabbits of Watership Down and the oppressive regime of General Woundwort.
