Ok, so it's a new day, new comment. I forgot to cover Morgana's reaction below as Morganaforever pointed out, so ill get right on that.

Now, I'm sorry, but I consider Morgana to be a brainwashed pyshcopath. No other explanation for how much she changed btwn s2 and s3. She was brainwashed. And I've learned that that can actually happen in real life, (if your not afriad of horror movies, look up charles manson) to such an extent as it happened to Morgana, so I stand corrected on the account that her change is not plausible at all.

So, since she is a pychcopath, she likes to kill a lot of people who get in her way. EXCEPT of course for the people she is actually trying to kill but that's not the point! So she doesn't have a problem with killing. #1.

It was in series 2, that morgana's powers emerged, and she went to Merlin and Gaius for help. In my opinion this whole episode is Gaius' fault but that's another subject. Merlin, under Gaius' instruction, did not tell Morgana about hs magic. But by sending her to the druids, her heart was hardened against Uther AND Arthur when he attacked the camp and killed the only people she could relate to or help her. This episode was the turning point, and Morgana probably remembers it. Whenshe finds out about Merlin's magic, she will be livid not just on a vengeful pychsopathic level, but because she'll feel betrayed that one of her only friends at the time refused to give her help when he knew he could. She will consider him a coward and a traitor in this area.

She will also see Merlin as a traitor to his own kind. So she will want to kill him for that too.

Then there is the whole emrys thing. When that comes out, Morgana will either have a heart attack from shock or immediately start screaming and sending lethal bolts of lightning at Merlin in a frenzied rage and fear. Or else, she'll simply scream and throw Merlin across the room with magic sice the show cannot fathom any other kind of combat magic after series 3. Personally, I think it will come down to Morgana sendin fire and lightning and torture magic and all kinds of that stuff in a crazy rage while Merlin is running for his life with a magic shield over him.
