Merlin - Gwaine

While travelling the kingdom incognito, Arthur and Merlin end up in a bar fight and are assisted by a commoner named Gwaine who is an extraordinary swordsman.  Unfortunately he is badly injured and so Arthur takes him back to Camelot to recuperate and reward him for helping them.  Gwaine takes advantage of the prince's hospitality and racks up quite a bar tab at the local tavern for the prince to pay which doesn't endear him to Arthur.  He also flirts with Gwen!
Meanwhile two enemies of Arthur kill some knights who are on their way to Camelot for a contest where only blunt swords may be used.  However, they have acquired blades that look blunt but are very sharp (after killing the wizard who created them!).  Gwaine, who isn't allowed to be seen in Camelot anymore, saves Arthur again, with Merlin's help.
Another fine episode!  Slowly all the knights are being introduced.  I am really looking forward to the day this show gets to the point when Arthur becomes king and the Knights of the Round Table are brought together.  Oh, and Merlin gets to bring out his magic for good!
