How were Morgana's choices Merlin's fault? You have placed the blame on him, and neglected to acknowledge all the actions Morgana had taken even before this episode.

She is gullibe, vengeful and quite stupid with her approach. She follows anynone who presents her with an opportunity to kill Uther, even if it means also bringing destruction and suffering to the citizens of Camelot.

In this episode she forgot that Merlin was her friend and even swung her sword at him, and made it clear that she would kill him in order to accomplish her and Morgause's goal of seeing Camelot fall.

Merlin could definitely have done more for the kingdom and Arhur, since he thought protecting him was his ultimate goal. He is not guilt, or blame free by any means, but he is not to blame for Morgana's thirst for power and revenge on Uther.

In this episode he tried to reason with her, but her allgiance was with Morgause. She saw her as her only family, and more importantly, she gave her the tools and ambition to claim the throne. Merlin was a servant and had nothing to offer her, unlike Tauren, Alvarr and Morgause.
