King Arthur was given his power through his godly sword Excalibur, which in turn was given to him by the Lady of the Lake. Danny has tried to make some connections, saying that the Lady of the Lake was a mermaid, like a siren, and that King Arthur was being tempted by the Lady of the Lake with the sword. Mr. Lancer told him that the lady was not a mermaid, sirens were half bird, not fish, and "Although a sword may be a phallic image, Mr. Fenton, I don't believe that is the temptation you're implying."
It wasn't, and he blushed when the class began snickering at Lancer's implications, and dealt with the "So, you like phallic imagery, Fagton?" taunts that haunted him for the rest of the day. Still, the discussion bothered him all day, and he buried his fists deep into his pockets, trying to figure out what had sparked his interest so.
Later that night, when Danny had invited Same and Tucker over, he opened the door and bowed, joking, "After you, m'lady."
"Thank you, sir knight," she joke back, doing a tiny curtsy in her short skirt.
He stood straight, mouth hanging open as he made that thread of connections between the Lady giving Arthur Excalibur and Sam prodding him into the ghost portal and giving him powers, that forms a sentence of, "I'm King Arthur!"
"Dude, you opened a door," Tucker said. "It's not like you united England."
