"The Dark Deal" is the seventh episode of Season 3. The English-German translated title is "Redstone Falls."
Plot[]
Woundwort discovers that a human construction crew plans to bulldoze Redstone, so he and Vervain travel to the Warren of the Shining Wire. There, he tells Cowslip he will show him Redstone destroyed (so Cowslip can get revenge on Hickory, Marigold and the others for running away) if Cowslip will give him his seer, Silverweed.
Meanwhile, Hickory and Flax talk of revolt against "Wheatstalk" while Marigold races to Watership Down to warn Hazel and the others of Woundwort's return and Hazel, Fiver (who nearly falls into the river after having a vision on a bridge about Redstone's destruction), Bigwig, Dandelion and Marigold all race back, and manage to save everyone, however Redstone is destroyed. Hazel allows all the Redstone rabbits to come back to Watership Down.
Meanwhile, the wandering Campion is attacked by a patrol and is taken prisoner at a new warren, Darkhaven, populated by savage rabbits who await the prophesied return of "The Dark One", and becomes their chief after he defeats their strongest warrior, Granite, winning the respect of a tough doe named Spartina.
