TOTALLY AGREE!! I totally dislike, dissatistied, and even hate of the fact they made Gwen taking care of Uther. At first I only confused and a little bit dislike, but after long discussion here, it opened my eye and make me hate it.

They just had to force Gwen's way around Arthur so bad. They just had to make Gwen being around and deeply involved with Arthur so far into the show, and like she must contribute something to win Arthur's admiration and love for her. If not, she was not worthy of his love and especially not worthy of being queen.

Personally I think if the end Gwen married Arthur and crowned Queen, they didn't have to force it so badly. She still can be Arthur's lover and queen even though she appeared or contributed only once or twice (like every other princess in the story).

Like I said in the discussion about how so many people dislike and hate Gwen and Angel Coulby (poor Angel, she was just collateral damage), it was not because of Gwen or Angel herself. Gwen was a very nice and beautiful girl. Angel is a very beautiful and talented actress. But it is because they pushed Gwen so much that made her  so irritating and annoying. It is not her personally, but how the showrunners made her character that way. She didn't do anything much (or did something but supposely not her place to do it), but she was always around.

As for the actual episode "The Fires of Idirsholas", I've always wondered why Morgause even needed the Knights of Medhir. The moment that Camelot was asleep, either Morgana or Morgause herself could have easily killed Uther and everyone else they wanted out of their way. Ha! Just realize it after you said it. Yea...why did they have to raise the Knights after all? In fact, after long thought, I imagine that if Morgause didn't raise the Knigths, Arthur and Merlin will fall asleep as well without realizing something is wrong and Morgause herself can come and kill them all in instant. (Maybe that's why they didn't make it that way, it would be the end of the series. Hehehe).
