Uther had many enemies. Enough to want to stamp out the Pendragon line.

But her role was a little more complicated, and Merlin thinks about her dream, the one of her father and the good man that he'd seemed.

Morgana, think about if you should ask anything more. Like your visions, you can't un-know these things.

I do.
[ At once. ]
I want to know. I - I never wished Arthur anything but happiness. I have to understand. What happened? Why would I do this?

Arthur is your brother. By blood.
[
He spits it out before he has a chance to retreat.

[
Softer.
]
Uther was your father all along. But he wouldn't let it be known. He wanted Arthur to have the only claim to the throne.

Arthur didn't know. Not until it was too late. But Morgause supported you. Taught you about magic.
You started wanting the throne of Camelot.
I'm sorry. There's just so much that...happened.

...The traitors who took over Camelot - the reason you cast a spell to sneak Arthur out, that was me wasn't it?

[
More quiet than ever.

Yes.
Morgana, these are things that you haven't yet done. And we're all here, and none of us know for how long. We can still...even Arthur realizes that you shouldn't be held responsible for it. Not here, not now.

[ She moves a hand to wipe at her eyes, hands shaking. ]
You should not be...I don't know how you even manage to look at me Merlin I -
[ She doesn't deserve it. Uther is one thing, but Arthur...after all the times she tried to save him, all the times she dreamed his death - ]
Does Gwen know, too? Lancelot?

Because I know what it is to do things and not be proud of them. And you haven't even done them that.
I haven't told them anything.

He nods, tries to give her one in return.
