An assassin is let loose within the walls of Camelot and very nearly kills Arthur, when King Uther snaps out of his immense depression to save Arthur's life, only to be mortally wounded.
Arthur can't bear to see his father on his death bed and decides to make the incredible decision to use magic to save Uther's life. Merlin becomes his aged alter-ego, Dragoon and attempts to heal Uther in the hope that with that one action, he can help bring an end to the death sentence to magic users. Unfortunately, Morgana and Agravaine are one step ahead and plant a magic item on Uther that will give the opposite result multiple times over of any spell directed at the wearer. So when Merlin/Dragood attempts to heal Uther, instead of saving his life, he kills him!
Finally Arthur is crowned King but Merlin still cannot openly help his friend with his magic as Arthur is now even more against any magic users.
This was a great episode and a massive turning point in the story. It is about time that Arthur became King and now we just need to get Merlin fighting at his side as the mighty wizard that he is.
What did everyone else think? How did you feel when Uther passed?
