As I was in Newcastle saturday I missed this. All I can say is virgin TV on demand is brilliant. I fired it up last night once I got in from the glamourous chore of food shopping. After the major kick off in the 2 hour premiere this weeks didn't feel like it moved very fast.

So it kicks off with Gwenivere 3 days from her wedding to the Lancerlot equivalent. Her fathers estate gets attacked and she is rushed to Camelot and given quarters there much to Merlins distain as he's sussed out Arthur is nuts about her and she was the one in his dream. So Merlin suggests the wedding be held there as it will be a lovely beacon of hope for all the people. Arthur naturally isn't that keen.
Morgan meanwhile at castle Uther, assumes a new servant with freaky markings on her face and instructs her to vett the staff and employ more women. She discovers Uthers prior torture room and makes it into her own freaky deaky witchcraft room. She invited Arthur to come visit and puts on a feast under the pretence that she wants to get to know her brother properly. She actually needs to get some blood off him and ties up Merlin.
Theres a bit of a psuedo love thing going on, clearly she admires and has some feelings for Merlin telling a story of when she was a kid she wanted to marry him. Probably now so she admires him for the witchcraft. Anyhoo Merlin keeps telling her the price for the magic is too high and she continues to ignore him.
Arthur meanwhile has another sex dream about him and Gwen, gets up sees Morgan drugging Merlin but thinks they are getting it on, and he leaves. He returns to Camelot and asks Gwen to meet him. She does, he pleas that she not marry her fiance. She refuses, they have sex anyway and then she makes it clear its a one time thing, they can't do that to Lancerlot. So she sneakily fills up a wine thing with rabbit blood.
Merlin escapes Morgan sans magic and leaves. Upon returning they host the wedding. Arthurs not overly happy, but Gwen goes ahead. Theres a haunting song and then a post coital bit in which Gwen puts some pigs blood on the bed to make it look like she was a virgin.
