As if the wooden sword isn’t bad enough, he also has to fight with no shirt on. Thankfully, Gwaine is now Morgana’s favourite plaything and, gifting him a wooden sword, she plans to make him fight for more food. With little choice, and realising that his secret is in even greater danger, Merlin takes extreme measures.īack in Camelot, Gaius isn’t looking particularly healthy, despite Elyan’s best attempts to help him. Rapidly rendering his attackers unconscious, Merlin seems to get the upper hand until Agravaine recovers, identifying Merlin as Emrys. Sadly, for Merlin, he takes a wrong turn and Agravaine corners the young wizard.
Whilst Tristan is questioning Gwen about her relationship with Arthur, Merlin sets out to protect his friends once more, doubling back to intercept Agravaine as he enters the tunnels. Merlin isn’t adverse to using his magic to protect his friends and, after far too long an absence, the dragon returns, affording Merlin and company the opportunity to escape from the forest into some nearby caves, whilst Agravaine flees from the fiery onslaught.
