[The Night - Camelot's Catacombs] [Men dig the stone and discover a secret room.] [Arthur's Room] [Arthur is awakened by the infernal noise of the pickaxes.] Arthur : Oh! Merlin! Merlin! Merlin : Yes, sire? Arthur : Are you deaf? Merlin : I wish. Arthur : I want you to go down there and tell them to stop. Merlin : But they're working under the king's orders. Arthur : Yeah. And you're working under mine. Merlin : Oh...! [Merlin leaves the room and descends into the catacombs.] [The pickers enter a treasure room.

New servant Cedric muscles in on Merlin's position as Arthur's right-hand man, and turns the prince against his loyal friend. Merlin is convinced the slippery newcomer is up to something, and he is right -Cedric is a conman and a thief who is after a magnificent jewel, recently unearthed in a tomb far beneath Camelot. Little does he know, his precious prize is more dangerous than he could possibly imagine. Camelot has never been more vulnerable, but how can Merlin make things right when, thanks to Cedric, he might have lost Arthur's friendship for good? Merlin faces the prospect of turning to the one creature he swore he would never trust again - The Great Dragon.
