Line 29:
'''Agravaine''': And you've been at court all this time. At Arthur's side. How you've managed to deceive him. I am impressed. Perhaps we're more alike than you think. }}
He steps toward Merlin with his hand outstreched. Merlin raises his own in a "stop" gesture. Agravaine looks as though he's about to back down, when he suddenly draws a knife and makes to stab Merlin. Again, without a word, [[Slow Motion|Merlin flings Agravaine backwards through the air]]. He lands on the ground, already dead. Merlin quietly takes in his body, and then turns away to find the others.
Back with the others, Arthur hears the tumbling of rocks, and decides to go back for Merlin, much to Tristan's surprise. Arthur and Merlin find each other, and Merlin asks if he came back specifically for him.
Line 41:
Back in Camelot, Helios's forces are marching through the courtyard. In the jail cells, Gwaine is sitting shirtless in the corner and Elyan is tending to Gaius. The guards march in and pull Gwaine out of the cell to the throne room where Morgana hands him a small wooden sword and once again orders him to fight for some food.
In the forest, Tristan taunts Arthur as they collect firewood, telling him that he's no one special. As Arthur wanders off, Guinevere goes after him, but already agitated, Arthur tells her that everything that he once cherished between them is over. Near tears, Guinevere leaves him.
Gwaine is thrown back in the jail cell, and Morgana chucks a small loaf of bread afterwards, telling them that it may be their last meal. Elyan tries to get Gaius to eat something, but Gaius confesses that he's near death and that Gwaine needs it more than him.
Line 61:
By night, [[Slow Motion|Merlin runs through the forest]] and calls for the Dragon. As he lands, Merlin thanks him for his help but tells him that Arthur has lost the will to fight and lead. The Dragon tells him that Merlin alone can restore Arthur's faith by making him believe that he's a worthy king. Merlin gets a glimmer of an idea in his eye. He asks the Dragon if he knows where the people of Camelot are hiding - and the Dragon says that they shouldn't be too hard to find.
The following morning Merlin wakes up Arthur and leads him through the forest. Merlin tells him a story: that Arthur's ancestor, the first king of Camelot united the Five Kingdoms and created peace. Arthur has heard this story, but Merlin elaborates. While on his death-bed, this king asked to be taken out to the forest where he plunged his sword into a rock. If his lineage was ever questioned, only a true king of Camelot could pull the weapon free. Arthur seems sceptical, but Merlin has led him to a familiar looking clearing.
Before them is Excalibur, waiting in the stone. From the forest emerge the people of Camelot, Leon and Percival among them. Merlin assures Arthur that he alone can pull out the sword, and he's going to prove it to everyone. Arthur approaches nervously and wraps his hands around the hilt. Though he pulls, nothing happens.
{{quote|'''Merlin''': You have to believe, Arthur. You're destined to become Albion's greatest king. Nothing, not even this stone can stand in your way.}}
Line 96:
'''Morgana''': My dear brother. We must welcome him home. }}
Morgana leaves the room with him, still unaware of the [[Voodoo Doll]] under her bed.
[[Slow Motion|Tristan and Isolde leap out from behind two pillars and defeat a Southron together]]. Helios and Morgana take up their positions in the council chamber, knowing that Arthur will make his way there. Down in the dungeons, [[Slow Motion|Percival kills another Southron]]. In the main citadel, [[Slow Motion|Leon and the other knights fight]].
In the dungeons, Gwaine and Elyan hear Percival coming. Percival unlocks the cell, [[Ho Yay|breezes past Gwaine and checks on Elyan]].
Line 136:
[[Slow Motion|Gwen's sword goes flying from her hand]] and Morgana points the tip of her sword at Gwen's throat. She is about to be killed when Morgana [[Slow Motion|is forced backwards through the air]] by a magical force. Merlin stands behind Gwen, his eyes still glowing. They take a few steps forward and Gwen questions what happened. Not seeing Morgana in the rubble, the two hurry back to the council chamber.
They enter to find [[Died in Your Arms Tonight|Tristan holding Isolde on the ground]], Arthur watching with tears in his eyes.
{{quote|'''Isolde''': I'm sorry.
Line 148:
She dies, and Tristan gently tips her head back for a [[Last Kiss]]. Arthur and Gwen look up at each other, both with tears in their eyes.
Some time later, Gwen is picking up toppled furniture when Arthur enters the room.
{{quote|'''Gwen''': If you want me to go...to return to Ealdor...
Line 163:
{{quote|'''Arthur''': By the sacred laws vested in me...I crown you Guinevere...Queen of Camelot.}}
He lowers the crown onto her head and offers her his hands. She takes them and he lifts her to her feet to join him before the thrones. [[The Big Damn Kiss|They kiss,]] and Arthur presents her to the assembly, shouting: "Long live the Queen!" Merlin, Gaius, the knights and the court take up the chant.
The scene abruptly changes to the forest. Morgana stumbles through the trees, holding her side. Her hair looks awful (''really'' awful). She collapses to the ground, looking near-death. The sound of wings fill the air and a shadow falls over her face. Aithusa, looking much creepier than when we last saw him, lands on a rock beside her and breaths over her still body. Morgana opens her eyes and looks up in wonder at the baby dragon. A tiny smile crosses her face, and she watches as Aithusa flaps his wings and takes off into the air...
Line 174:
* [[Awesome Moment of Crowning]]: {{spoiler|QUEEN Guinevere}}.
* [[Berserk Button]]: Arthur might just have reached Morgana, had he not pointed out that she was very much like Uther.
** Morgana is about to kill Guinevere, which causes Merlin to throw her backwards down a corridor in what is possibly the biggest telekinetic "air push" ever featured on the show.
* [[Big Damn Heroes]]: Arthur, Merlin, Gwen, Tristan and Isolde bursting into the throne room yelling: "For the love of Camelot!" Kinda falls flat when the expected resistance is not there, just Morgana and Helios.
* [[The Big Damn Kiss]]: Arthur and Guinevere. It's their best yet.
* [[Book Ends]]: Arthur is crowned King at the beginning of the season, Guinevere is crowned Queen at its end.
* [[Brick Joke]]: Kind of. In ''[[Merlin (TV series)/Recap/S04
* [[Chekhov's Gun]]: [[Excalibur]], first introduced in 1x09, is finally wielded by its rightful owner over three seasons later.
* [[Cleavage Window]]: Morgana in the forest in the final scene.
