Perhaps you can go on and on, but I'm sorry, it's quite hard to buy :

1. Gwen wasn't so far.

2. Come on, she knows how to wield a fomorrah and a Nathair, but she doesn't know how to make a potion, and take the risk of creating a new witness of her doing.

3. Finally, you think that Merlin didn't convinced anybody that he would give his life for Arthur, that he is a man of absolut trust. And, btw, what would be his motive ? Under Uther's, this scene would have been believable (it had actually), because the king used to terrorize everybody around him ; but the time has changed, Arthur and Gwen have the reputation of man and woman of dialogue.

4. In fact, Merlin transformed himself just for fun. There was absolutely no reason.

6. Yeah, he was locked up just because Gwen command it, with no reaon, then, when Arthur woke up, he was release, because everybody know, and first of all Arthur, that Merlin will never do anything to harm his king. Not the Witchfinder, not The Secret Sharer, not The Goblin's gold again ! Please ! It's a sign that the story is not making any progress. I thought that we got far from Uther's tyranny.

7. Of course, Morgana told Gwen about the guy. That was not my question.

I withdraw only one comment, because, reading the script, I found that the streaming skipped the moment when Arthur send Gaius and Merlin in the forest (in fact, I don't really understand why he sent them, as for me, it's rather a job for a knight)
