Episode 8: The Druids' Holy Land

Merlin senses that the Commandments are close to Diane. Diane believes Matrona has only just died and is rushing back to Megadoza to tell her people, not realising 16 years have passed. Galand and fellow Commandment Monspeet come across Diane. As Monspeet is about to drain the magic from Diane she is saved by another giant resembling Matrona who knocks Diane unconscious and hides from the Commandments. Monspeet senses what he thinks is Meliodas and fires a powerful spell at him from hundreds of miles away. However the spell is swallowed by Hawks Mom, negating its power and shocking everybody who had no idea she could do that. The giant escapes with Diane but is now injured. Merlin reveals that many years ago she took most of Meliodas power as a precaution against him losing control and hid it in Istar, the Land of Druids, but now decides he needs it back. They reach Istar and meet the Druid leaders, twin sisters Jenna and Zaneri. Meliodas must pass a trial to regain his power. As Meliodas begins the trial he suddenly awakens in the past in Danafor before it was destroyed. He is greeted by Liz, who died years ago.
