Arthur and Merlin manage to escape from Mordred and the Bandits and sneak into the Ismere tower where Morgana is digging to try find this "Key." Strangely through Mordred is bring kind to them, offering food and telling Merlin he will not tell his secret. Arthur has the opportunity to kill Mordred but does not take it much to Merlin's dismay - he is convinced Arthur will come to his end by Mord-reds hand.
Big bad - Morgana is getting her dreams again it seems and she wakes up having dreamed of being shackled to a dragon. Then is interesting twist, she calls out and a little dragon comes plodding up to her. So she has allied herself with a dragon that apparently the great dragon and Merlin as the Dragon-lord don't know about.
Meanwhile back in Camelot, it seems Gwen doesn't really want to execute her handmaiden Sepha who comes and begs for her life.
She's holding tight on the execution decision to lure her father to them so they can see what they are up against. Unfortunately this goes horribly wrong. Liam Cunninghams character comes back to rescue his daughter but he's pretty epic with a sword and some magic. Gwens brother though does manage to stab him. They both escape and he dies but not before managing to send a message to Morgana warning her that Arthur did not return to Camelot.
The creature from last week is healing Gawain. Arthur and Merlin sneak into where all the digging is at, hand a sword to Ser Percival and give orders for him to round up the rest of the knights. They go after Gawain and find him with the creature. She disappears and just as they are about to Gawain out of there Morgana's dragon charges in.
Big Bad - Mordred arrives and him and Morgana share a hug and dinner in a nice touching reunion. They go down below and catch Arthur. Morgana taunts him with a flying dagger and Merlin comes back just in time to see Arthur get knocked out but he too loses consciousness. Then in the 2nd twist of the night, Mordred stabs Morgana and then returns Arthur to his knights who have cunningly overthrown all the Sarasons of course.
The creature from earlier comes back and heals Merlin and he reasons that she is in fact the key/font of all knowledge. She asks him if he wishes to ask anything and at first he refuses wisely saying it wouldn't be any good. But then in his worry about Mordred he asks about Arthurs bane. It seems that the person most danger to Arthur is in fact Arthur.
Then we return to Camelot where Merlin gives us a further twist. In reward for rescuing him and stabbing Morgana Arthur makes Mordred a knight. I think my jaw was on the floor at this development. Madness.
Merlin and Arthur have a conversation and both it seems are going to keep each others secret. Gaius says to Merlin that people can change but our little wizard clearly does not trust the other druid. And judging by the smile of the younger one at the end and the fact Morgana is still alive and escaping with the dragon, he's right too.
