Episode Title:
Taking Without Asking.
Episode Description:
After spending the whole night on edge and standing guard the Mattis Robbers confront the Borkas Bandits. The two clans stand opposite of one another across the divide of Hell's Gap, insulting one another. Borka then explains he and his clan cannot stay in the forest anymore since soldiers are hunting for them. When Mattis rebukes him for stealing a place to stay, Borka counters with how Mattis has always been taking without asking. Confused about what Borka meant, Ronja asks as she does not truly understand what a robber is. Mattis changes the subject by asking how Borka got into the castle to which Borka gives credit to Birk who scaled the side of the cliff with a rope for the clan to climb. Borka goes on to recount when Mattis and he used to play together as children, not knowing either was from the rival clan until Mattis' father found out and beat Borka. Thanks to the sensibility of Undis and Lovis, the two clans avoid fighting at Hell's Gap and delay their battle for another day. Ronja runs off into the forest to explore only to encounter Birk, much to her annoyance and anger.
