The last episode ended with Morgana as Queen of Camelot after raising an immortal army using the Cup of Life. Uther is in the dungeons as a beaten man, while Arthur, Merlin and the knights are in hiding in the woods.Using the vial given to him by the Fisher King, Merlin sees his lost love, Freya, who directs him back to the lake of Avalon where she gives him the sword Excalibur. With this sword, the undead are turned to dust.
The band find an old castle of the ancient kings and it is the first time we see the round table and Arthur and his knights sit around it.
The only way to defeat the immortal army is to knock over the Cup Of Life, spilling the blood within but it is guarded by Morgana and her sister Morgause. Gaius comes the rescue, displaying his quite considerable magical powers, blasting Morgause into a pillar and appearing to kill her. Morgana screams out when she sees her sister and destroys the room, but not before the cup is knocked over and our heroes escape.
Merlin then takes Excalibur and drives it in to a stone in a sun-dappled glade so that it will be there when needed.
An absolutely brilliant episode!
