Merlin (TV series)/Recap/S02/E08 Sins of the Father: Difference between revisions

== Tropes ==

* [[Awful Truth]]: The [[Dark Secret]] of Arthur's birth.

* [[Beleaguered Assistant]]: Merlin, more so than usual this episode.

* [[Batman Gambit]]: The exact nature of Morgause's plan is unclear (did she really know Igraine? Was the apparition real?), but the gist of it was simply for Arthur to hear the truth about his mother's death, and become so enraged that he would commit [[Patricide]]. It worked like a charm, but she didn't foresee that Merlin would be able to talk Arthur out of going through with it.
