Let me tell you the reason why she didn't finish him off, its because the show has CRAP writers so quit with all the excuses OK.

Pretty typical for this show, really. The sensible thing for Morgana to do would be to kill Merlin. At this point, he's escaped "slow and painful" often enough for her to forget about that angle, and go for "fast and effective".

The living can sometimes recover from setbacks, even major ones. The dead generally cannot.
