Driven by his grudge against Robin Hood, he hunts after him, but the thief continues to elude capture.

Afterward, Regina hangs the Sheriff upside down over a fire pit as punishment for his deception until Cora sends him back home. He admits wanting to be king, but Cora set her up hoping she would bear a child. As the beast burrows under his clothing and attacks him, he shrieks in pain while she demands the truth. During a casual chat in the garden, the Sheriff attempts to charm Regina, who seemingly lets down her guard, before using magic to turn his fake tattoo into a miniature lion. Tempted by the idea of being king, he is given a fake lion tattoo by Cora and then presented to Regina. However, Cora quickly changes her mind and considers he can be her daughter's potential marriage match instead. The Sheriff agrees, but he wants something in return. Cora then considers that the man's wife can be eliminated and asks him to help her.

She asks him about a man with a lion tattoo who her daughter is destined to be with, but the Sheriff reveals he is a thief and already married. While spending time at a tavern, the Sheriff notices a woman of high stature, Cora, walk in. Robin is undeterred, taking his reputation in stride, and renames himself Robin Hood.


Later, Marian talks to her husband about what he'll do now since the Sheriff will almost certainly want him dead for his defiance. After two days have passed, he returns to the tavern to collect the taxes, but instead, Robin ambushes him with his Merry Men and takes all his gold to give it to the peasants. To Marian, the Sheriff implies this may be enough for her to finally come to him, but she stubbornly disagrees. He gives them two days to fulfill it, or Robin will be imprisoned and their business shut down.
