Series three begins a year after the events of ''[[Merlin (TV series)/Recap/S02 E13 The Last Dragonlord|The Last Dragonlord]]'', opening on a scene of Arthur, Merlin and the knights of Camelot patrolling the countryside on the borders of Cenred's Kingdom. They discover a battalion of Camelot knights killed in battle who now lie strewn across the landscape. Though Arthur orders that they check for survivors, there are none, and Arthur tracks the attackers north.
 
Back in Camelot, Gaius approaches Uther in the grand hall as he stares gravely out of a window. Gaius reminds him that many knights have been lost in his on-going search for Morgana, but Uther refuses to call off the hunt until she's found.
Line 18:
They take her back to Camelot, where she is is treated by Gaius up in her bedchamber, watched over by a concerned Guinevere. Gaius checks her pupils and tells her to rest. Gwen offers to stay with her. Uther waits in the antechamber at the bottom of the stairs and is relieved to hear that there's nothing physically wrong with Morgana. Gaius cautions him against going to see her, telling him that she needs to sleep.
 
Merlin waits in the physician's quarters and accosts Gaius as soon as he walks through the door, wanting to know whether Morgana has said anything about his attempt to poison her. Gaius exposits the finer points of ''[[Merlin (TV series)/Recap/S02 E12 The Fires of Idirsholas|The Fires of Idirsholas]]'', and tells Merlin to remain calm. There's no way of knowing what Morgana or Uther will do.
 
Merlin wakes up the following morning to see Gaius standing over him, telling him that Arthur has requested his presence in Morgana's chambers. Nervously he enters her room to hear Morgana telling Arthur what happened to her in the past year: she was kept in a cell and moved about a week ago after confronting the patrol from Camelot. She saw all of them killed but managed to escape while the bandits were distracted by their spoils. The two hug each other, and Morgana notices Merlin over Arthur's shoulder. Arthur leaves her to rest and Merlin is about to follow when Morgana calls him back.
