You are right about the verb "flee', it probably did not suit Morgana or Arthur in the first place. Arthur was definitely not fleeing and, from the looks of it, Morgana was not either, since she only left to do "something" and then returned to fight. I do hope that they connect this of all events with series 5 so that it makes some sense!

As for the contrast between water and fire, I just noticed it while going through their pages! I agree that the producers probably have not noticed it all, like for example how Merlin prefers to use staffs in combat and Morgana is more interested in knives.
