Thanks to both of you!

That was due to the time jump! Series 5 is literally defined by a big 3-year time jump... so brace yourself!

I really wonder what kind of friends Morgana and Merlin could have been. She could've either just hated him more for keeping it from her, and putting Gwen's life at stake (The Mark of Nimueh), or tried to turn her evil. It could've even turned into a bit of a mess, especially with Morgause and Mordred coming back. Merlin would be insisting she try not to kill Uther and she just wouldn't know what to do..Nonetheless she had to turn evil, or then she'd be a useless half-princess floating around the place. She's badass now! Even if it's at the discretion of a few plot holes.
