Kudos to Morgana? Are you kidding me? Arthur went down but she failed big time on her other other goal - getting the throne of Camelot. Morgana wanted to continue the Pendragon line through her. Before she could cook up another plot  to kill the soon-to-be widow Merlin shived her. He took her out for what she has become: a common criminal armed with magic and rift with madness. Frankly I was disappointed there was no major magical fire fight;  instead she was taken out in such a low rent way. Arthur died knowing his beloved queen and Camelot will never be terrorized by this monster ever again. If there's any justice Morgana is tormented for all  eternity knowing that the serving girl she tried to destroy now sits on the throne with the support of the knights and the people. To quote Guinevere, queen regnant of Camelot, "respect has to be earned; it cannot be bought with blood". Gwen earned the respect to be able to ascend to the throne and rule in her own right. Morgana tried to buy it with blood during her past overthrows, murders, and assassination attempts; but in the end her blood was spilled.
