see what I am angry about when it comes to this episode is that it seems merlin is being completely reckless and stupid and purposely leading Arthur and his men to the druid campsite. it didn't make sense. first, he broke the gate which I didn't understand why he did when he could have found a better way out and then when he started the small bonfire in the woods. I was confused because obviously the smoke would alarm Arthurs men rather than divert them and they would be able to find the druids much easier. I also didn't like how it seems rather than having some proper character development in everyone, they had diverted back to being worse than when we first met the characters. this episode really was something else. also what was with Gaius? this man literally made Morgana feel that she was crazy anytime she mentioned being a sorceress. like I get maybe he wanted to protect her but her powers were manifesting very rapidly and powerfully with each coming day so it didn't make sense why he would further confuse her and make her feel like she had no idea what she was talking about. like its obvious that she had many other underlying issues and to have Gaius continuing lying to her when she clearly presented all the signs of possessing magic didn't make sense. I also feel like this was the episode where Mordred starts becoming Arthurs greatest enemy because of the way Arthur attacked his home and killed Aglain. it was really sad because it really destroyed how far Arthur had come and it didn't make sense why Arthur didn't defy his father's orders when he arrived to the druids home seeing as they were unarmed and possess no physical threat to him. and he obviously very clearly had to have connected the dots that the very druid boy he saved so he could have a life was most likely living there with his family and friends so I don't get why he didn't at least proceed with caution. however, I did very much enjoy the acting from Morgana, Merlin, Aglain, and even Mordred. I thought that Morgana's scenes throughout this episode really emphasized how scared and vulnerable she was and she really played the character very well. like I truly was so encaptivated by the acting because she really made me sympathize with her and connect with her.
