Uther orders the child to leave, and eventually is forced out of the room, screaming in rage. Gaius speaks to Merlin privately, telling that during the Great Purge, Uther had many children suspected of sorcery to be drowned.

Gaius explains that the knife that was used belonged to guards of the Old Religion and suspects that they might have a traitor in Camelot. Gaius says that the guard still lives and is recovering.

Morgana visits Uther and the two share a hug. Morgana dries Uther's tears with a cloth and leaves Uther to continue his business, smirking once she turns away. By night, she rides of to meet Morgause, who is preparing a spell. It is revealed Morgana has been working with Morgause to help bring about Uther's downfall. Morgana provides the tears she got from Uther, and Morgause puts it into a cauldron of black liquid. Morgause then puts in a mandrake root, which releases a piercing scream, which Morgause explains only people with magic can hear. For those without magic, it will pierce the soul and bring about their worst fears. Morgana returns to Camelot, and hangs the mandrake root under Uther's bed.
Uther sits on his throne in the grand hall as Sir Leon gives him a daily update on news in the kingdom. Morgana enters through the doors and marches across the room toward him. Uther orders the soldiers out and the two rush into each other's arms. Uther has tears in his eyes and Morgana dabs them away with a handkerchief. She thanks him for not giving up on her, and apologises for her past behaviour, promising him to be more obedience in future.

Under the light of a full moon, Morgana leaves the castle.

She climbs up and passes two guards at the entrace, drawing back her hood as Morgause steps out of the shadows. Morgana tells her that she's been welcomed back into Camelot: that Uther doesn't suspect anything and that Merlin believes that she's forgiven him. She hands Morgause the handkerchief.

But for those without magic, the mandrake pierces the very recesses of the soul, twisting the unconscious into the very image of fear and dread.

Merlin waits in the physician's quarters and accosts Gaius as soon as he walks through the door, wanting to know whether Morgana has said anything about his attempt to poison her. Gaius exposits the finer points of ''The Fires of Idiosholas'', and tells Merlin to remain calm. There's no way of knowing what Morgana or Uther will do.
Merlin wakes up the following morning to see Gaius standing over him, telling him that Arthur has requested his presence in Morgana's chambers. Nervously he enters her room to hear Morgana telling Arthur what happened to her in the past year: she was kept in a cell and moved about a week ago after confronting the patrol from Camelot. She saw all of them killed but managed to escape while the bandits were distracted by their spoils. The two hug each other, and Morgana notices Merlin over Arthur's shoulder. Arthur leaves her to rest and Merlin is about to follow when Morgana calls him back.

Morgana meets back with Morgause again and informs her of rumors spreading of Uther's madness. Morgause informs Morgana that she will go to see Cendred, a king of a rival kingdom of Camelot. After retrieving a fresh mandrake root, Morgana goes back to Camelot. She is stopped by a knight, and before he can find the mandrake root, Morgana stabs him and pushes him off the building.
Morgause speaks to Cendred, informing him that Uther has lost his mind and Camelot is weak. While Cendred is pleased, he does not believe Uther's madness is enough to take Camelot alone. Morgause reassures him by reminding him that they have an ally within Camelot.
Back at Camelot, Uther meets with the high council. Arthur tells him of mercenaries gathering towards Cendred's kingdom. Suddenly Uther sees a hallucination of a child soaked. Uther orders the child to leave, and Uther is forced out of the room, screaming in rage. Gaius speaks to Merlin privately, telling that during the Great Purge, Uther had many children suspected of sorcery to be drowned.
The warning bells ring, and they find the man who Morgana had stabbed. Gaius explains that the knife that was used, belonged to guards of the Old Religion and suspects that they might have a traitor in Camelot. Gaius says that the guard still lives and is recovering. Morgana over hears this and rushes to Gaius's chambers, where the guard lays sleeping and grabs the bottle of poison. Gaius and Merlin return, to find the guard dead.

He remains hidden and see Morgana meeting with Morgause. Morgause informs Morgana that Cendred's army is ready and will be marching out to Camelot. Morgana tells her that Merlin is suspicious of her to which Morgause says that he must be stopped. Morgana says that disposing of him won't be difficult and reveals where he is hiding to Morgause. Merlin flees, but is captured by Morgause's guards, knocking him out.
When he regains consciousness, he is bound in chains, and confronted by Morgause. She says she finds his unyielding loyalty towards Arthur intriguing for a servant. He claims that he believes Arthur will be a great king, but does not tell his and Arthur's shared destiny. Morgause suspects that Merlin knows more than he is telling, but loses interest and uses her magic to enchant the chains to be unbreakable.

Morgana tells her that Merlin is suspicious of her to which Morgause says that he must be stopped. Morgana says that disposing of him won't be difficult and reveals where he is hiding to Morgause. Merlin flees, but is captured by Morgause's guards, knocking him out.
When he regains consciousness, he is bound in chains, and confronted by Morgause. She says she finds his unyielding loyalty towards Arthur intriguing for a servant. He claims that he believes Arthur will be a great king, but does not tell his and Arthur's shared destiny. Morgause suspects that Merlin knows more than he is telling, but loses interest and uses her magic to enchant the chains to be unbreakable. She says that this is her revenge for trying to poison Morgana, and departs. Shortly after, a large group of giant scorpions begin to approach him.
Merlin tries to break the chains with magic, but fails. Then he uses magic to try and fend off the scorpions, but one of them manages to sting him. Finally he calls out to the Great Dragon, who burns some of the scorpions and grabs Merlin and flies off.
