Don't get your hopes up - I'm saying this so others won't set themselves up for disappointment. I don't think the writers are likely to spontaneously change their ways for three episodes. I'm willing to bet the next one will be mordred turning against arthur/merlin/etc because merlin will out mordred's "suddenly new in one single episode then dies" love interest, which seems kind of a cheap way to have that happen imho. Then undoubtedly mordred will be of help to morgana in some way, there will be a battle ala end of season 4, and in the very end there will be magic reveal in the least climactic/epic possible way, with merlin triumphing over everything but not without casualties (bet you they'll off gaius at the very end), and don't expect any heartfelt moments of particular significance between arthur and merlin. If I'm wrong then yay! If not, at least I'd be less pissed cause I was ready for it.
