The Legend of King Arthur Episode 2
Arthur, now a successful cowerer and king, managed to unify the kingdom, but he sometimes talks of his sister Morgan, whom he has never met. Merlin decides to find Morgan again and instead of finding her in the convent, he finds her in a little house, in the woods. He asks her to go to Arthur’s side and help him as Merlin helped him.
Later on, Arthur is welcoming his new allies: Lot, Lancelot and Bors. Only Accolon refuses to offer Arthur his alliance. Mercifully, Arthur lets Accolon go. Doubtful, Arthur asks for Merlin’s advice, knowing that he does want to be merciful and just, but that doing so he put his own life and country in peril because of Accolon. While talking with Merlin, Arthur comes up with the idea of the Round Table, to have all the knights feel equal. Arthur also asks him about his future wife, as he is enamoured with Guinevere. Merlin seems worried about Guinevere and tries to convince Arthur of finding a new lady, but he knows he can’t change the course of events.
Arthur sends Lancelot to go to meet Guinevere and ask her to go to court and marry the king. Guinevere is immediately taken by Lancelot, but soon she realises that he is there for another. Leodegrance is more than happy to see her married with King Arthur, and Guinevere, dutifully, accepts Arthur’s proposal.
At Arthur and Guinevere’s marriage, Lancelot offers himself to Guinevere as her champion to do everything she might ask of him, while Merlin observes, with a sorrowful expression on his face. The next day, Bors and Arthur go out hunting but they are soon lost in the woods. There they meet Morgan’s assistant and servant, who lead them to Morgan’s house. Morgan, dressed now as a nun, pretends to be surprised to see her lost brother and the two has a tearful reunion. Inviting her brother for some food, she asks him to leave his sword behind. Once without Excalibur, Morgan poisons Arthur and Bors, who wakes up later on, outside the house and without their swords and remembering nothing of what happened. In the meantime, Accolon also found Morgan in the forest, and she decided to give him Excalibur and recruit him to her cause. Strong of his new sword, Accolon returns to Camelot, followed by Morgan, and challenges Arthur to a duel. Even without Excalibur, Arthur is strong enough to take his own sword back, before killing Accolon. While he is distracted by his win, Morgan quickly steals the magic scabbard. Once Arthur has recovered from the duel, Merlin asks him to let him to to Avalon, to rest and sleep, as he cannot die and he is weary of life.
While the lady of the lake is taking Merlin to Arthur, Morgan walks to the lake to show him the scabbard. Mocking him, Morgan throws the scabbard in the lake and Merlin can only watch in despair.
