You see while patrolling, Merlin is separated from the group when they are attacked (thanks to the treacherous Agravaine) and Merlin is taken to Morgana. She takes a many headed snake called a Fomorroh and explains that it can't be killed and implants a part of it in Merlin's neck (a lot like a Goa'uld from Stargate is implanted into a host!) and explains that ti will take over his will and he will do whatever she commands, which is to kill Arthur.
When Merlin is returned, Arthur is very happy (he's had a replacement servant who while good at his job, is just dead boring!), but unaware that Merlin is out to get him. Merlin's attempts are hilarious. Poison on Arthur's dinner but is beaten to feeding him by Gwen, so he dumps it with the pigs, who die!
He sets up a crossbow, but that doesn't work. He tries to kill him with a sword but is knocked unconscious when he runs into a column! Meanwhile, Gaius and Gwen notice his change and realise what he is going to do and turn up just in time. To ensure he stays unconscious, Gwen hits Merlin again with a jug!
They work out what is in Merlin and remove it but of course it grows back and Merlin again tries to kill Arthur by putting acid in his bath. Gwen again knocks Merlin out with a jug! Then Arthur is there, ready for his bath, naked in front of Gwen! Brilliantly funny!
Gauis works out he can put the Fomorroh to sleep temporarily, which allows Merlin to change into Emrys, or Dragoon The Great, and go to Morgana's hut and destroy the snake by magic.
Morgana walks in on him and at first flees because she fears him, but then returns and they have a mighty battle (Very Sword In The Stone just no changing into animals!) and Merlin eventually attacks her with a whirlwind knocking her unconscious. He destroys the snake and returns to Camelot.
This was a really great episode. One of my favourites.
