A traveling circus comes to Redwal and Cluny uses it to try in infiltrate the abbey with his lieutenans, dressed as clowns. The mysterious circus star, Wild Ivy the Knifethrower, seemingly mesmerizes Matthias. But she is, in fact, an ally and as Cornflower is threatened with death by Cluny, Ivy turns her circus against the rats in an acrobatic battle of fire-eaters versus fur! And we see what Wild Ivy has seen - that Matthias and Cornflower are destined to be together - if Redwall survives.moreless

A character passes away.

8.0

"Great"

By ZaleIsBackAgain, Jul 20, 2010

Other than the passing of Methuselah, this episode is almost like a filler. The story doesn't make any progression, and the characters don't really develop that much themselves. Despite that, this wasn't a bad episode; like the rest of this series, it suffers from some obvious pacing problems like the episode is going through the actions and rushing the story. Some scenes happen immediately one after another; a little bit hard to get emotionally involved when it moves so fast. Though the character execution, despite being rushed, is really solid to compensate for the pacing. A filler it may be, but still rock solid.moreless
