I don't think there is any way it is Gwen, her whole behaviour pattern has changed. In the opening episodes she was a demure queen, very humble, almost embarrassed at times, say nothing of lonely as she admitted in her conversation to Sefa.

Now everything is different she struts around court like a prima donna, eyeballing people, hence the way she looked at Merlin in the last episode. The "real" Gwen would not behave like that. She is being controlled by Morgana, probably an enchantment, as well as the damage she suffered at the mandrake roots. ? The last scene between her and Morgana, she was clearly not broken, also the Arthur and the knights were almost outside the tower, there is no way she could of been broken without some type of magic being used. ? With the title of episode 9 being With All My Heart, I suspect it will be an enchantment that Arthur has to break himself, for as Kilgharrah said back in series two, love is the most powerful force of all.
