(He leaves the room) As the doctor raises the hand of the recumbent bottle full of spilled wine, Merlin makes the connection with one of the visions he had in Crystal Cave. An old man appears then. Arthur : Ah ... Morgana's present. Arthur : Its Morgana's birthday. Cure her. Gaius and Merlin join him. Gwen : Thank you Gwen leaves the room and Merlin sits at Morgana's bedside. I had to stop Morgana killing Uther. Merlin (shocked to the last degree) : That was the next picture I saw in the crystal. Merlin (trying to support Arthur) : An Arrow. Merlin : But I stopped her. Merlin : She's Uther's Daughter. Merlin falls off, remembering his visions. Morgana is going to kill Uther. Morgana stands in a gallery when Morgause appears. The Great Dragon infuses Merlin with a spell and then flies away. This is from Gaius ... he thought it might help ease your mind ( Merlin drops a vial next to Uther ) Uther ( to Merlin who is about to leave ): You're Gaius's boy ...
Merlin : He is my guardian
Uther : You're like a son to him ...
Merlin : Yes
Uther : I see the way he cares for you. You must save her.

A: the revelation; Q: What does Morgana hate about Merlin's mistake? A: the real assassination attempt; Q: What does Merlin have to foil? A: the crystal; Q: Where did Merlin see the real assassination attempt? Summary: When Merlin enters the Crystal Cave, an old sorcerer shows Merlin a vision of the near future in which Morgana appears to kill Uther. Events begin unfolding as they did in the vision and Merlin misinterprets Morgana's nighttime visit to Morgause as sneaking off to kill Uther. Merlin tries to stop her, accidentally fracturing Morgana's skull. Merlin cannot live with Arthur and Uther's extreme anguish over Morgana's impending death and forces the Great Dragon to help save her. Unfortunately, Uther's grief makes him confess to Gaius that Morgana is his daughter, which she remembers after Merlin's heals her. Morgana is bitter at the revelation and Merlin has to foil the real assassination attempt, the one he saw in the crystal.
