Yea! Finally, a Reveal!

Well, this was an interesting episode of choosing sides in the legeng - and looking at where our loyalties lie with the characters. Yes, Mordred's love for Kara and Arthur killing her drive him to side with Morgana. But, I think Mordred is blinded by the love for a girl who has changed. There might have been a time when she was a peaceful girl who believed that one day the kingdom would change towards magic, but I think that she was so angry at how long it has gone on, and how there has not yet been acceptance of magic, that she felt she had to side with Morgana and follow her way of bringing Magic back to the kingdom. Kara had become like Morgana in her anger toward Camelot, and lost sight of the same premise that Merlin and Mordred have sought to bring Magic back; that it could be used for good. I believe that is what Mordred wanted. Mordred was shocked when Kara killed the guard; at her brutality and evil, really. I think he was torn between her and who she had become. Maybe he thought he could help bring her back from such a vengeful hater of Camelot. Then, Merlin attempts to reach Arthur and succeeds. Kara had the chance to repent, but would not. Arthur was in his right. Remember, Kara mentioned Morgana's intentions that would be the fall of Camelot and bring back Magic, so she was in fact, on Morgana's side and Arthur heard the same in her words. Well, I don't see anyone here as a bad guy. Arthur realizes that those who practice Magic, and do not do so to bring harm against the kingdom, can live in their own freedom. He does not reject all Magic, just the use of it for evil ends. I think Merlin was only protecting Arthur and the kingdom by telling Arthur of Mordred's plan to escap with Kara. Ultimately, it was a necessary episode to define how Mordred becomes an enemy and sides with Morgan. I'm curious how Merlin's magic will return to him, and how the next episode will play out. Morgana knows! Squeeee!
