Hey Oncers,

I have to say I'm a bit confused about the order of events. (Again)

Meeting at Granny's Will Scarlet tells Robin Hood that living like an outlaw wasn't easy for Marian. "I asked her once", Will says. I don't think Will looked for the murderer and murder weapon and summoned Marian's soul in order to ask his question. So, Marian was alive, when Will joined the Merry Men, right?

At the beginning of Forget me Not Will is finally accepted as a member of the Merry Men. They break into Maleficient's castle and Will gets the looking glass. Soon after that he leaves the Merry Men endangering them somehow by doing so.

Watching Robin's and Will's parting I always had the feeeling that Robin was unable to understand Will's motivation.

And now, Will tells Robin that Marian told him " There's good in him (=Robin), Will. (...) If you're ever lucky enough to find true love, you'll fight for it."

Did Marian invite Will to the Merry Men?

How much time did Will spend as part of the Merry Men?

Was Marian already dead when he left? Or, was Marian the one who gave him permission to leave believing that Anastacia, who Will stole the mirror for, is his true love?

Robin says Will nearly got them all killed in the aftermath of that event. Could this be the time Black Knights captured Marian learning that she knew Snow? Remaining silent and rather die than betray your family (My silence is the only thing keeping my family safe.) might be enough for him to say it was his fault she died.
