Did Merlin use mandrake root on Morgana? I thought that he used a straw doll like the one Mary Collins used. Even if he wasn't able to get rid of it immediately, it wouldn't do Arthur any harm because he has no magic for it to steal. He could wait until he was next alone in Arthur's chambers to get it.

As for Morgana's escape, I could buy that she fought her way out, especially if she managed to find a route where the Southrons had taken out Arthur's people, but how she disappeared after Merlin sent her flying is a mystery to me.
