Back in the Net of Hopelessness, Arthur and Merlin are struggling to free themselves to no avail. Morning comes and they're still hanging there, fast asleep with a dead rabbit between them. Suddenly the net topples to the ground and several men rush out from the undergrowth. One stands on Arthur's sword, preventing him from using it, and recognizing it as belonging to the King of Camelot. Arthur only asks that his servant be set free, but Merlin refuses to go. Just as things are about to go badly, someone else's voice shouts out: "Stop!"
