If so, how will he react? It's possible that these issues will be covered in the next five episodes. That will leave us four episodes to cover and resolve an awful lot. Bottom line, yes they did drag out this Morgana and Gwen thing too much.
Yep, but I fear that Arthur will be absolutely cross with Morgana. Take his anger out on all of magic. Execute someone close to Mordred and then have Mordred kill him out of vengence I certainly hope so.
That would leave four episodes to resolve and conclude the rest of the story. There is a lot to cover, so I really hope that the Evil Gwen storyline is all wrapped up in episode 9. Does anyone know whether the two hour finale will be considered one, or two episodes? It would be awesome if it was one two hour episode rather than two episodes being shown back to back I can't wait to see if and how Merlin tells Arthur about his having magic. Also, I am very curious to see how the writers are going to take Mordred from being a loyal, and grateful Knight, to Arthur's murderer.
I want to see Gwen at Arthurs side as the series rolls on to the finale. As Arthur said, she is kind and wise! I am curious to see how Gwen feels about being Morgana's pawn, and attempting more than once to kill the love of her life. I guess we have one more episode before we get into the Mordred turning against Arthur story line. I can't help but thinking that Mordred might have a different fate if Merlin had befriended him instead of being so suspicious, and leery of him.
Angel Coulby continues her dark turn as the now deceptively evil queen who has been turned against her husband and the Knights of the Roundtable by a vengeful Morgana Katie McGrath.
I've always been more confident than Gwen, so it comes quite naturally for me to play Gwen this way. She uses her wits to solve situations, sometimes tricking her prey. Arthur would probably never be that cunning. The episode holds a special treat for fans of the sword-and-sorcerer genre. Gwen and Lancelot are held prisoner by evil outlaw Hengist. Gwen is still close friends with Merlin, but no longer has any romantic feelings for him. She is reunited with Lancelot when she is taken prisoner by an outlaw who believes her to be the lady Morgana.
Unaware that Arthur has defied his father and is on his way to rescue her, she concludes that Uther will never pay a ransom for her and believes that she has been abandoned to die.
She refuses to show her captors any fear, but privately despairs that nobody in the world seems to care for her. Guinevere as "The Lady Morgana ". He is participating in a cage fight when he spots Gwen being held captive.
He vows to save her, and tells her that she gives him a reason to live. Gwen is overjoyed to see Lancelot and seems overwhelmed by his feelings for her at first, she soon accepts them and even returns his sentiments.
Her brush with death has affected her and she seems determined to take whatever happiness she can get, she no longer wants to be alone and is happy that she has found Lancelot. When Lancelot sees that Arthur cares deeply for Gwen he gives up on her without a fight refusing to come between them. Waking up to discover Lancelot gone Gwen cries silently, heartbroken to be abandoned again.
Arthur looks sad for her and equally uncomfortable over the situation. They ride back to Camelot and as Gwen is reunited with Morgana, Arthur shoots Gwen a rather heartbroken look from the stairs Lancelot and Guinevere. In later episodes, the two have appeared to be back to normal eg. Later in the episode, she visits Arthur in his quarters and comforts him he is upset at his father's uncaring attitude he doubts that he can be a king and a friend to his people.
Gwen insists he can and that one day he will prove his father wrong. She tells him that he has a kind heart and should never allow himself to change for anyone. As Arthur listens to her and starts to cheer up, Sir Leon interrupts them by summoning Arthur to the great hall. Guinevere sees Arthur. However, she is left heartbroken when she sees him with Vivian. Merlin later seeks her out and informs her that Arthur was under the control of a love potion and she is the only one who can break it.
Gwen goes to Arthur and kisses him, which breaks the spell. Arthur later apologises for the pain he caused her, and Gwen accepts it. However, when Arthur professes that he never loved anyone other than her, she sadly tells him she can't be his queen, at least until things can change. She also speaks with Gaius of it and he insists that no love is impossible.
Because her friendship with Morgana gradually deteriorates, Gwen starts to spend more time with Merlin and Arthur, such as helping Merlin when Gaius is possessed by a Goblin Goblin's Gold and persuading Gwaine to return and help Arthur Gwaine.
Gwen talks to Merlin about her experience. When Morgana suggests it to Arthur, Gwen and Arthur decide to spend a day together away from the city.
They have a picnic in the woods, treating each other as equals. When Gwen goes to kiss Arthur, they are interrupted when Uther and Morgana 'coincidentally' come across them during a ride.
Back at Camelot, Uther laughs at what he saw and tells Arthur that he was young once and tempted by servings girls. Arthur seems shocked, but surprised that his father has given him his blessing.
However, Uther is unaware that Arthur is actually in love with Gwen, and commands that Arthur will never see Gwen again. When Arthur insists that he refuses to abandon his feelings, Uther orders that Gwen be banished, leaving Arthur furious.
When Arthur reveals that he intends to leave Camelot with Gwen and later return and take the throne, Morgana decides to frame Gwen for casting a love spell on the prince. As she is dragged away to the dungeons, Arthur kisses her again, and she catches sight of Morgana smirking at her.
When Merlin visits Gwen, she informs him of her suspicions of Morgana. She and Arthur later agreed that they have to keep up the master-servant charade, but that they do love each other, and he promises her that when he is king, she will be his queen Queen of Hearts.
She is reunited with Arthur , Merlin , Gwaine and Elyan. Later her old love interest Lancelot and his friend Percival arrive. Meanwhile, Morgana attempts to take revenge on Camelot again by summoning creatures known as the Dorocha and Arthur plans to sacrifice himself to defeat them. Before leaving, he tearfully says goodbye to Uther and comforts Gwen by reminding her of the day he first kissed her. Gwen then goes to Lancelot, telling him to keep Arthur safe and he promises that he will protect Arthur with his life.
When Gaius confronted Agravaine about that, Gwen gives a speech to persuade Agravaine to reopen the city gates. Gwen then tends to Uther and reassures him that Arthur will return in a few days when he asks her where he is. Agravaine then visits Gwen and after apologising to her, summons her to his chambers for advice.
However, unknown to Gwen, Agravaine is secretly loyal to Morgana and diverts her attention so that Morgana will enter Camelot and knock her unconscious to prevent her vision of Gwen becoming queen from coming true. After Morgana does that, Gaius finds Gwen and tells her that someone wants to get rid of her by leaving her to be killed by the Dorocha. Gwen even worries about what will become of Arthur when he causes a war between Camelot and Caerleon, and before a match, Arthur gives Merlin a ring, asking him to give to Gwen as an apology.
Arthur eventually survives the match and becomes at peace with Caerleon. Upon returning to Camelot, he apologizes for his actions by presenting Gwen with flowers and kissing her. When Merlin is kidnapped by Mercenaries, Gwen grows very worried for her friend's well being, even stating that she is just as worried as Arthur.
Merlin was rescued later by Arthur and Gwaine he had previously been held captive by Morgana, and, under her influence, on a new mission to kill Arthur and Gwen was happy for her friend's return, even serving Arthur something Merlin would usually do as she thought he needed rest. Merlin was rude to her, and after speculation she and Gaius concluded that was being controlled by a snake called the Fomorroh.
Gwen knocked Merlin out and Gaius attempts to kill the snake, but to no avail. This forces Gwen to knock Merlin out a second time, and after Merlin manages to destroy the snake, Gwen is happy that her friend has returned to his normal mind.
Later, Gaius is abducted and brought to Morgana in an attempt to discover who Emrys is. While the whole of Camelot believed Gaius to be a traitor, Gwen did not believe this, and comforted Merlin and supported his idea that Gaius had been abducted.
Gwen later cared for Gaius after he was rescued by Merlin and Gwaine. Lamia goes to the village of Longstrong, and begins preying on its inhabitants. Three villagers become its victims. Fearing an unknown illness, the wife of the village elder goes to Camelot to ask for help.
She approaches Gwen, who tells Arthur. After consulting with Gaius, Arthur sends Merlin as the substitute physician, with Gwen and the Knights of Camelot to fix the problem. The Lamia is later caught by bandits, and rescued by the Knights when they leave the village to go back to Camelot.
However, she soon starts to exert her power over them, making them aggressive and more violent. Her first victim among them is Sir Elyan. Instead of going back to Camelot, she forces them to travel to a castle to the East that she knows of. Afterwards, the Lamia picks them off, one by one. First is Gwaine, followed by Percival. Leon sees Percival fall because of the Lamia. He attacks her but she defeats him. Merlin sees the Lamia after Leon and is able to wound her with Leon's sword.
She changes to her true form and attacks again. Merlin runs and makes it back to Gwen, who hears the commotion. She uses a sword to try to kill the creature.
Arthur who had been following their trail when they were missing kills the Lamia with a spear to the back. After the Lamia incident, Arthur comments on Gwen's bravery in his chambers, where the couple shares a very intimate kiss Lamia.
When Morgana hears of Arthur's intention to marry Gwen, she uses dark magic to bring Lancelot back from the dead and orders him to present Gwen with a bracelet that will enchant her to fall in love with him. Gwen is surprised by Lancelot's reappearance but is intent on becoming Arthur's wife. After Lancelot puts the bracelet on her wrist, Gwen begins acting strangely, visiting him in his tent before a jousting competition, although she soon comes back to her senses.
However, after the match, she visits Lancelot again and is intimate towards him. She agrees to meet him that night in the castle.
Agravaine brings Arthur to catch his soon-to-be wife kissing Lancelot and, in a rage, hurls his sword at him, but Gwen stops the commotion quickly. She is imprisoned and throws the bracelet away in rage. During her trial, Arthur asks everyone to step out and demands to know why Gwen did what she did. Gwen says she did not know what happened and once loved Lancelot, but now loves Arthur.
Arthur decides not to have her executed but orders her exiled, citing that if she returns, she will pay with her life. Merlin tries to persuade Arthur to change his decision, but Arthur says that he will never again be able to trust Gwen and that his decision was final, leaving Merlin hurt and angry that Morgana stole one friend from him Gwen and had dishonoured the other Lancelot.
After her exile, Gwen adapts to life as a peasant in an outside village for some time. The village is soon invaded by a warlord named Helios , who spares her life and takes her into his refuge because of her beauty. Morgana and Gwen eventually cross paths and Morgana knocks Gwen out, rips her necklace off and turns her into a deer. After she is hit by an arrow, he visits her and heals her wound.
Gwen tries to escape from Morgana. A Camelot patrol passes, but to Merlin's dismay, Guinevere refuses to join him as she doesn't want to be seen by Arthur. Merlin later tells Arthur that he and Gwen would somehow find their way back to each other eventually.
After these events, Gwen goes to Ealdor , Merlin's hometown, where she is looked after by Hunith , Merlin's mother. Gwen tends to him, and they reunite when he regains consciousness. However, Agravaine tracks Arthur down and they are forced to flee. Whilst preparing to save Camelot from the clutches of Morgana, Gwen attempts to talk to Arthur but he tells her that the affection he showed when they met in Ealdor was a moment of weakness and he still hasn't forgiven her for her brief affair with Lancelot.
Despite this, Gwen stays by Arthur's side throughout the battle to save Camelot and duels against her former friend and mistress, Morgana, but is overwhelmed by Morgana's superior swordplay.
Fortunately, Merlin uses his magic to cause an avalanche which knocks Morgana off her feet, but when the dust clears Morgana has disappeared.
How Morgana escapes, or even if it is actually an escape or a rescue, is unknown. Gwen and Merlin return to the throne room and find Isolde , a friend Arthur and Merlin had picked up during their travels, dying in the arms of her lover, Tristan.
After seeing Isolde die, Arthur realises that he can't bear to lose Gwen again and finally manages to forgive her, asking her to marry him. Gwen accepts, saying "Yes, with all my heart". Three years later, Camelot enjoys a time of prosperity and peace with Arthur and Guinevere as its rulers.
However, after Gwaine, Percival and some other knights do not return from their mission, Arthur and his knights leave and Guinevere stands to rule Camelot alone. She befriends her maid, Sefa, but notices her odd behaviour when at nightfall she leaves Camelot and heads to the woods.
When it is revealed that there is a traitor in Camelot, Gwen suspects Sefa, and, when the latter confesses her treachery, Guinevere sentences her to death Arthur's Bane:Part One. After Sefa begs Gaius to let her speak to the Queen, Gwen meets with Sefa but tells her that her decision to execute her still stands. It is then revealed that Gwen is using Sefa as bait to catch the real threat to Camelot, Ruadan; Sefa's father who is an ally of Morgana.
Gwen's plan to lure Ruadan to Camelot works and he is mortally wounded by Elyan. Gwen is later seen sitting on her throne beside Arthur as Mordred is knighted Arthur's Bane: part two.
One night, after Arthur had unknowingly released the spirit of his deceased father, Guinevere is walking down a corridor when she hears something behind her. She turns around but sees nothing. When she continues down the hall she hears the noise once again.
She turns, asking if anyone is there, when there is no reply, she continues walking. A window next to her suddenly opens, then she walks over to it and closes it. Within seconds the door behind her looks as though someone is trying to push through it, and all of the windows start banging open and closed. Gwen starts running and all of the torches go out. She turns around, frightened, then all of the sudden she is pulled to the ground and dragged across the floor, screaming.
When she is back on her feet random objects start flying towards her from different directions. She runs into the kitchens as a spear plunges towards her, and she closes the doors just in time. When she enters the kitchen more items fly at her until she is knocked unconscious, then a fire starts, with Gwen trapped. Luckily Merlin arrived just in time to rescue Guinevere and take her safely to Gaius. While visiting her father's grave with Elyan and the other knights, Gwen is attacked and abducted by Morgana, who takes her to the Dark Tower , where Gwen is confronted by twisted visions of the people she loves mocking her while Morgana offers her comfort and food.
This torture ritual, known as the Tiana Diaga, is used to plunge fear into the victim's heart, leaving their mind and will to be controlled by the torturer, Morgana. Although the knights, Merlin and Arthur manage to find her, Elyan is killed during the rescue. In the aftermath of Elyan's funeral, Gwen sneaks out to meet with Morgana, as she is under Morgana's influence.
The Dark Tower. Shortly before Arthur and Gwen's anniversary, Gwen unpicked and restitched the saddle on Arthur's horse. That night she was seen by the stable hand, Tyr Seward, who was then threatened by Gwen. While out riding on their anniversary, Arthur encounters an attack which he survives, leaving Gwen distressed. Back in Camelot Tyr Seward is arrested for treason as evidence of the attempted assassination is found in his home. Merlin visits Tyr in the dungeons where he claims to have seen someone fixing Arthur's saddle and that they threatened him.
