The villainous stench of Le Paradox hung over the entire area. We didn't know what was going on yet, but we knew it wasn't good.

"Of Mice and Mechs" is the fourth episode in Sly Cooper: Thieves in Time. It takes place in Medieval England, and the main antagonist is Penelope, who at first was disguised as the Black Knight.

Synopsis[]

Background[]

The Cooper Gang time travels to Medieval England to locate Sly's English ancestor, Sir Galleth Cooper. They find out that he is being imprisoned and reduced to performing in a circus by a fearless and evil Black Knight.

Ending[]

After Penelope's betrayal and defeat, the gang receives a transmission from Dimitri. They decipher it and realize it is Sly's Arabian ancestor, Salim al-Kupar. They need to get to Ancient Arabia right away. Carmelita provides the solution this time with a gold Arabian coin, which is exactly what they need, that she managed to pocket as evidence before Le Paradox captured her back at the museum.

As the gang time-travels to Ancient Arabia, everyone keeps a close eye on Bentley, who downplayed his heroics and refused to acknowledge that he saved his friends. Sly senses a new confidence in Bentley, which he figures he gets from finally confronting his personal demons. Despite being through so much, he bounces back stronger than ever. The gang is lucky to have him back, as they were going to need every ounce of his new-bound strength to take down Le Paradox.
