In the physician’s quarters, Merlin sits quietly at a desk, only to hear Agravaine approach Gaius in the other room. Both are astonished to hear him ask Gaius if he’s ever heard of a sorcerer called “Emrys”. Gaius denies any knowledge, but once Agravaine has left, Gaius tells Merlin that it’s likely that Agravaine got the name from Morgana, who in turn got it from the Callieach. This means that Agravaine is in league with her, and Gaius points out that he has every reason to hate Uther, and the episode ends with Gaius telling Merlin that Morgana must never find out who he truly is. ([[CaptainObvious Well, duh]]).
