SUMMARY:
Morgause uses her magic to re-awaken seven undead knights to attack Camelot. She seduces Morgana into being the source of a spell which puts everyone in Camelot to sleep and leaves the city vulnerable. When Merlin and Arthur return to the city to warn that the undead knights are awake, they are helpless to break the spell and begin to succumb to sleep themselves. After Merlin promises on his mother's life to free him, the Great Dragon advises Merlin to kill Morgana to stop the spell. Cornered into a desperate situation, Merlin is forced to poison Morgana, coercing Morgause to lift the spell in order to save her. Morgause takes Morgana away with her. Merlin fulfills his promise and frees the Great Dragon.
