Gandalf has left and returned many times since the party, but he is now returning a final time (on April 12, 3018, Third Age) to tell Frodo to leave soon. The ring is no longer safe in the Shire, and Sam is now going to come along with Frodo. The plot starts the morning that Sam and Frodo set off, all the other hobbits thinking he is going to live in Buckland to "retire". He leaves the Shire on September 22, 3018, the day after his 50th birthday.

Gandalf goes to speak with Sarumon, who keeps him on top of the tower, unable to assit Frodo in his jouney to Rivendell...

Aragorn captures Gollum, and takes him to Mirkwood, and then returns to meet the hobbits at The Prancing Pony at Gandalf request.
