@ Catea8: Well, techinally, Merlin was brainwashed in Servant of Two Masters. The only difference was that Morgana used two very different kinds of magical brainwashing with Merlin and Gwen. Merlin just had that magic snakey on/in his neck that made him unable to think of anything else but killing Arthur, but that still totally counts as brainwashing. Cuz the Mandrake root Morgana used on Gwen is magic, too, so it's not like it was COMPLETELY natural brainwashing in her case either... It was just kinda a mix of both, it would appear. Because in Servant of Two Masters, Merlin didn't seem to care (that I remember, I only saw the episode once) if he was working for Morgana or not, so long as he could figure out how to off Arthur; Gwen's magic brainwashing makes her think Morgana is her only friend. That's the only real difference.
