It has never been mentioned just anywhere that Uther had ordered baby Morgause to be killed, except for fans who had drawn the conclusion. They hadn't considered the fact that Morgause was born long before the Great Purge - which, by the way, has also never been mentioned but is very likely since Emilia Fox is ten years older than Katie McGrath.

Here is the transcript of the episode:

GAIUS And it bore the mark of one of the Great Houses, the Great House of Gorlois. There is only one person, other than Morgana, who would have cause to wear such a bracelet. That is, a half sister.

UTHER I was led to believe that the child had died.

GAIUS The child lived, My Lord. She was smuggled out of Camelot shortly after her birth.

UTHER How do you know this?

GAIUS It was I who entrusted the child to the High Priestesses of the Old Religion.

UTHER You should've told me, Gaius.

GAIUS I had sworn a solemn oath, My Lord. I'm only breaking it now because I fear what Morgause might do.

UTHER Does Morgana know?

GAIUS I don't believe so.

UTHER Morgana must never find out she has a half sister. I will not have her loyalties divided.

GAIUS Of course. The High Priestesses will have trained Morgause from birth. Her magic will be powerful.

UTHER Then we must hope the search party finds Arthur before he reaches her.
