When I suggested having Merlin's Parents appear in a Flashback Episode it would mainly be his father Balinor appearing because if the Flashback Episode would feature The Great Purge you would have to have some form of scene were Uther dealing with rounding up and killing all the dragonlords and dragons. Along with him tricking Balinor into having The Great Dragon come to Camelot to make peace but instead capturing him. An you would also want to see Gaius helping Balinor escape Camelot and eventually go to the Ealdor and meet Hunith. Those were some of the reasons why I thought you should have Merlin's Parents be featured in a possible Flashback Episode if they ever did such a Episode.
