I enjoyed this episode! It was good to see how all of the characters had grown since previous series, with Arthur seemingly much more mature and strong as a leader, Merlin having much more the sense of duty, and Guinevere showing her strength of character and what will make her a great king.

On the other hand, I felt that they rushed into the deaths of Lancelot and Morgause too soon. Lancelot had a very fitting end (which Lancelot du Lac went on to ruin) with all of the Knights remembering him as "the Greatest and most noble knight of them all". But it happened too soon, there was no great affair between Lancelot and Guinevere, in fact by bringing enchantments into it, we didn't get a single shred of progression in the two characters relationship, other than the speech he gave to Merlin whilst they were staying in the house.

Morgause was also taken down far too quickly, we did not her interaction with other characters, and she didn't even mention those who had caused her so much pain and injury. She just lay down and die, no funeral, no mourning on Morgana's part, no mention from Merlin, nothing.
