Here's a dark one:

What if the Dochraid didn't tell Merlin that for the cleansing spell in With All My Heart to work, Guinevere would have to enter the Cauldron of Arianrhod of her own free will rather than being forced or tricked into entering?

When I first saw the episode, I thought that she was being way too generous with her information, when she could have set the guy threatening her with a sword up for a serious fall. In her shoes, I'd have withheld the crucial details. Had Merlin not known of the free will clause, Guinevere would have been lost beyond saving.
