Although I know The Sword in the Stone: Parts 1 &amp; 2 has already been done and it cannot be modified, I was disappointed that there was no confrontation between Arthur and Agravaine because I wanted Agravaine to directly reveal why he was loyal to Morgana rather than just imply his reasons. Here are two options to show that confrontation: it could have either taken place in Part 1 or Part 2 of the Series 4 finale:

Arthur-Agravaine confrontation in Part 1
Arthur fights the soldiers and gets wounded as normal, the only difference is that Merlin does not arrive at this point. Arthur then notices Agravaine with Morgana and flies into an uncontrollable rage that his last remaining relative has betrayed him, getting his sword and charging towards his uncle. Agravaine and Morgana separate and Agravaine notices Arthur charging towards him and gets his sword to defend himself from Arthur. As they fight, Arthur demands to know why Agravaine has betrayed him and Agravaine reveals that he joined Morgana to avenge the deaths of Tristan (who was killed by Uther) and Ygraine (he blames both Arthur and Uther for that). Arthur attempts to reason with Agravaine but he refuses, saying that his loyalties only lie with Morgana. Arthur gets more angry with Agravaine, eventually disarming him despite his wound, and prepares to kill Agravaine, only for Morgana to arrive and attack him with her magic. Merlin then arrives at this point and rescues Arthur by causing the ceiling to collapse with his magic, separating them from Morgana and allowing them to escape.

Changes for this to happen: there is no confrontation between Agravaine and Elyan in this episode. Agravaine confronts Merlin as normal in Part 2.

Arthur-Agravaine confrontation in Part 2
Arthur has got Excalibur at this point and goes towards Camelot with Merlin, Gwen, Tristan, Isolde and the other knights to overthrow Morgana but Agravaine and his men who escaped the attack by Kilgharrah and followed them, attack them. While Merlin, Gwen, Tristan, Isolde and Tristan hold off the other soldiers, Arthur fights Agravaine himself with Excalibur and demands to know why Agravaine betrayed him, with Agravaine revealing his reasons as I said above, and saying that his loyalties lie with Morgana when Arthur attempts to reason with him. Angered by this, Arthur eventually defeats and kills Agravaine (showing his first victory with Excalibur) while Agravaine's men are all killed, allowing them to proceed to Camelot.

Changes for this to happen: there is no confrontation between Agravaine and Merlin in this episode. Agravaine does confront Elyan in Part 1.

I would agree with Part 1 the most because the point of making Merlin confront and kill Agravaine in Part 2 was to show more of Merlin's darker side. So Which option do you agree with: Part 1 or Part 2?
