| 10 :01x10 - The Moment of Truth (Nov/22/2008) | Merlin, Arthur, Morgana and Gwen join forces to save Merlin's village from a ruthless group of bandits, as the magical family drama continues.
Merlin is stunned when his mother, Hunith, turns up in Camelot, bruised, battered and desperate for help. Their village, Ealdor, has been attacked by a bandit, Kanan, and his men. Kanan is demanding all of the harvest and will be back in a week to collect everything – or the villagers will pay with their lives. If they give their food to Kanan, however, they will starve to death.
Merlin gets Hunith an audience with King Uther, who listens to her story but refuses to do anything. Ealdor is beyond the boundary of Camelot's realm and none of Uther's soldiers can cross the border – to do so would be an act of war.
Merlin, meanwhile, tells Arthur that he can no longer be his servant. He has to protect his mother and friends and will leave in the morning.
Merlin goes to Gwen to pick up some weapons and armour but, when he gets there, he finds Morgana with Gwen. After hearing Hunith's appeal, they couldn't let Merlin go alone. He tries to argue with them but they're both determined to help the villagers.
The gang sets up camp for the night in the woods and, as Merlin lies awake, unable to sleep, he hears the sound of a horse approaching through the darkness. It's Arthur, who tells him that he has come to help fight, too.
When they arrive, they find Kanan and some of his men ransacking the place. There's a stand-off and Kanan is forced to back down as Arthur demonstrates his prowess with the sword.
Arthur convinces the villagers that they have to fight, but an old friend of Merlin's, William, refuses – he blames Arthur for riling Kanan.
Merlin realises that, unless he uses his powers, there is no way that they can defeat Kanan and his men, but will he risk exposing his abilities to save his friends and the villagers?
| | Guest Stars: Caroline Faber as Hunith, Alexander Siddig as Kanan, Joe Dempsey as William | | | |
| 11 :01x11 - The Labyrinth of Gedref (Nov/29/2008) | When Arthur kills a unicorn while out on a hunting trip, a curse descends on Camelot, as the magical family drama continues. Could this be the end for the mythic city?
An upset Merlin rushes to the animal's side as the knights cheer Arthur for killing this most highly prized of beasts. As the unicorn dies, Merlin sees a wizened old man watching the scene amongst the trees. Their eyes meet and then he disappears.
The next morning, Arthur and Uther survey a valley in which the crops in the fields below have died overnight. It's the same story all over the kingdom. If they don't do something, the people will starve. When, later that day, the water in Camelot's well turns into sand, Arthur and Uther become desperate – the town is now facing a famine and a drought. Gaius suggests that these events cannot be a coincidence and that a curse has come to Camelot.
That night, Merlin and Arthur are on patrol when they come across a strange man – it's the same person Merlin saw in the forest. He introduces himself as Anhora, the keeper of the unicorns. Anhora tells them Arthur is responsible for the curse, revealing it was unleashed when Arthur killed the unicorn. Arthur doesn't accept this and is angry at the suggestion he is responsible. Before he disappears again, Anhora tells Arthur that he will be tested and, until he has made amends for his actions, Camelot will be damned.

| 12 :01x12 - To Kill the King (Dec/06/2008) | | Uther has many enemies, but who would have thought Morganna would want to help assist in the murder of him? | | Guest Stars: John Hurt as Great Dragon | | | |

When Arthur organizes an attack against this creature he gets bitten and Merlin must save him, but he must give a life in return. | | Guest Stars: John Hurt as Great Dragon, Michelle Ryan as Nimueh | | | |
