Um, I think the mandrake root comes later. In another episode Gwen's going to be captured by Morgana and Morgana will torture her. I think the mandrake root (which makes you lose your mind) is part of that. Gwen does not seem enchanted here.

And the death penalty thing... yeah, that seems like something big nowadays, in modern Europe where the death penalty is illeagal in most countries. But the series is supposed to be medieval-esque. Sefa really did betray Camelot and lives (including Arthur's and Merlin's, for all Gwen knows) were lost because of her treachery. Back then that deserved the death penalty. I think Gwen was striving to be very just, patiently trying to get all the evidence she could before giving her decision. And Sefa gave her confession.

But I don't think they're going to leave Sefa in the dungeon. I don't know what's going to happen, but I'm sure they won't leave her there.
