Finally ! I found someone who enjoy the episode for what it was ! The ending was an absolute failure ; everything goes wrong ; everything was spoiled, nothing made sens (except the epilogue). Everything was sacrified for a very little purpose, the reveal, but it worked wonderfully. In fact, the reveal itself was sacrificed for the extraordinary Merthur chemistry. I will give a special mention to Bradley James who delivered one of his best performances ; his first reaction to the reveal, this faces he made we've never seen before ; that was awesome ! It's probably the worst episode of the whole season, but it's the only one I watched three times and I will rewatch it. I know that the main reason why I love this show is the acting, and even in all this mess, this acting has never failed. Kudos to Braley James... and Colin Morgan !
