Really? Can it be worse how Merlin and Arthur disrespected Mithian?

Merlin was the worse and I hate him for doing so. Mithian did nothing to offend Merlin. In fact she was so respectful towards him that she asked him to give her a chance. A princess asked a low man-servant for his acceptance. And Merlin didn't even say sorry to her.

About Arthur, he rather given up part of his kingdom for Gwen when he didn't sure she is alive or not. He said himself he thought he would doomed to be a bachelor his whole life. At that time, he didn't know Gwen was alive or not. He didn't know if there would be war between Camelot and Nemeth. So, he practically risked a war and risked being a bachelor just for Gwen's memory.

As for Morgana, once again about how she didn't kill Gwen instantly. She just need a split second. Even faster than to enchant her to become a deer. And she didn't even stay to make sure Gwen is dead. Apparently, her magic didn't last very long. Gwen turned back into herself at night. Surely Morgana should have know that. So, she enchanted Gwen and leave her and didn't even try to make sure she was dead and no thread will come to her plan?

I love Mithian so much. She was not some spoiled, annoying, arrogant, flirtatious princess. She didn't even show any tantrum, even just a little bit. She knew better than to beg, or cry, or humiliate herself. I even like her better than Gwen. I mean Gwen supposed to be like her, but the showmaker make her not likeable.

Another thing. Where did Gwen go? She can't return to her place anymore. She didn't take anything with her. This time was worse than the first time. Merlin didn't ask or help her. Even if Gwen refused to see Arthur. Merlin could offer her a place to stay the night, a clothe to change, or even food to carry. Once again, he left her to her death just like the first time, worse than the first time. Too much trouble to show that in the episode? *sigh.

What I like about this episode is when Arthur asked for Merlin's opinion when he was confused. He trusted and respected Merlin's opinion far than anyone else in the palace. Although Merlin that time didn't offer much help. In fact. his advice made Arthur abandoned the kingdoms' agreement. Not a good thing. Yes, this was supposed to be a drama where love and friendship beat everything else, beats politic, beats common sense, beats logic. When love wins, everything will be just fine.
