I agree with you about the general awesomeness of the episode, and the humor in a serious drama ep actually working for once. But I was utterly convinced that the sleep-spell needed Morgana's consent to work, and we did get a whole big scene in which she vowed her willingness to help Morgause overthrow Uther. So I do think she made one small but far-reaching decision in this episode, and at this point, I am holding onto every shred of Morgana agency we have.

Now the fact that Morgause didn't tell Morgana what she was consenting to is a whole other story....but I've only just gotten my 2x10 and 2x11 reviews up, so I'm still pondering that for the 2x12 review....

I agree with you that she made a decision this epi, but I also think it's pretty much the only one all season, so saying she chose to use her powers for evil was a little far-fetched imo. Maybe I just hate Gaius so much that I'm doing that thing where I disagree with everything he says just on principle!

Gauis has his own POV and it's been totally screwed by Uther and what he's done. Not defending him but understanding...

It was a great episode!
