A carnival has come to Camelot complete with jugglers, acrobats and fire-eaters, and Merlin watches from Arthur’s window in delight. Arthur however, is not as easily impressed. Merlin is confused as to why he isn’t more enthusiastic about the fact that it’s his birthday (gee, maybe it’s got something to do with all the bad stuff that went down in the last two episodes) but Arthur refuses to get excited about the celebrations that night. The Gleeman is about to finish him off, when once again his sword is blocked – this time by Uther. Arthur begins to cry as Uther shuts his eyes.
