I will just remind you this dialogue of the Dragon's Call : Gwen said to Merlin : I hope so. One day. Not that I'd want to be her. Who'd want to marry Arthur? She was talking about Morgana. I remember I was quite bit shocked, because I wondered how Arthur could possibly marry a girl he was raised with. Even if she was only the ward of the king, she was like his sister. Just check out the way Arthur looked at Morgana when she entered the banquet hall in this very scene. I'm pretty sure it was Arthur's chambers. It is precisely because Merlin is a family show that the writers have to play on subtle references. They didn't want to ignore the story of Lancelot and Gwen, then treat it in a way that we can't exactly call an adulterous, as Arthur and Gwen were not yet married. I think that, in one way or another, the writers wanted to refer to each element of the legend they considered to be important (adulterous, lady of the lake, sword in the stone, etc.)
