 Will and Much run into a group of lepers travelling through the forest and Will is instantly convinced that he is contaminated and doomed to a horrible and painful death. The outlaws save an old lady from being killed by robbers and, the lady being badly hurt, accompany her to the abbey to which she was travelling. Convinced, however, that she will die before they reach the abbey, the lady asks Friar Tuck to hear her confession. Tuck is in the end shocked by her admission, but also bound by the seal of confession.
