The ending of this episode could not have gotten any better. The way Uther was so shocked to find that Nimueh had returned. It sort of set the balance and story linesw for all the episodes that fvollowed really. Because Nimuehg was the one who helped Uther gain a son, which then helped lead up to the episode where Morgause tells Arthur what really happened to his mother.

Without the introduction of Nimueh us fans wouldn't really have been able to understand why Arthur's mother had died and how. Plus Nimueh also helped set the storyline for episode 9: Excalibur. Because without her the wraith wouldn't have risen and she wanted the wraith to fight Uther so that magic could reign free in Camelot and she could have returned or something like that anyway.
