Merlin needed to learn the Camelot dances for the servant's ball. After tripping over Gwen a few too many times, Arthur helps.

Kilgharrah's thoughts as he rescues Merlin from the serkets. A serket sting is invariably fatal. No human medicine is of the slightest use, and no magic- human, sidhe, or dragon- can do more than ease the pain. There is, simply, nothing to be done. Kilgharrah knows that. He also knows that he can't let Merlin know that. A missing scene from 'The Tears of Uther Pendragon.'

Merlin was a Prince who was hidden from the world and frankly he was fed up. So he ran away to Camelot, to live as a peasant and ends up as a manservant to Prat – Prince Arthur. But can he keep his identity a secret when every kingdom is alerted, and every knight in the five kingdoms (including Arthur), are out looking for the runaway Prince.

What if Merlin had given Arthur different advice and in turn Arthur made a different choice in S5E5: The Disir. Magic would have become accepted in Camelot early in season 5 and changed the entire course of the show.

(Sequel to Legacies/standalone) Three years after the first riots in Camelot, England grows increasingly restless under Uther Pendragon. When laws on sorcery begin the change in other countries, and civil unrest stirs again, Merlin, still doubtful, faces a seemingly impossible destiny, and Arthur must choose a side as he struggles with his own beliefs on the persecution of sorcery.
