Once his mother leaves it turns out it wasn’t just a cover. The road to Gramaire is blocked off by other Paladins, as everyone has figured out Morgana-slash-the Wolf-Blood Witch is at the abbey and they’re after the sword. She tells the men than the only way to get the sword is if the Red Paladins free Gawain and Squirrel. She rolls them up and stuffs them in her sleeve but is nearly caught by a Paladin who tells her to go to the barn. Nimue arrives at the king’s camp without the sword, coming face-to-face with Uther and Father Carden. Nimue’s mother Lenore (Catherine Walker) arrives and finally snaps her out of it. The rocks are shining, the sun is setting, and there’s a hot spring nearby. But as far as the story goes, in mythology, Nimue is the Lady of the Lake of Arthurian legend. He closes her eyes, picks her up, and places her on the raised pedestal, reciting a spell about passing in the twilight. She won’t tell anyone what she saw, she tells Igraine, because what they did isn’t wrong. Squirrel, meanwhile, is travelling with the Weeping Monk, chattering away about horses just like any child would. The queen regent huddled with the midwife and created a plot. If you rewind to the beginning, the first shot in the premiere is of Nimue sinking in bloody water with an arrow lodged in her chest. Nimue, Arthur, and the child make it to Nemos. He wants to tell her he’s leaving, but she insists he comes, if only to forget about everything plaguing them for an hour. Nimue is insistent on bringing Merlin the sword, but Gawain is incredulous. Arthur may be young and scruffy (and, apparently, has a history of thieving), but turns out he’s a knight. With Katherine Langford, Devon Terrell, Gustaf Skarsgård, Daniel Sharman. Arthur is on a wagon with several Paladins. He informs her the weapon, known as the Sword of the First Kings, is their history, their hope. Pym, meanwhile, has turned up after hiding in the traps but is wide-eyed, covered in dirt and speechless. Nimue is tending to her patient with Fey remedies — a major risk given the sheer number of Paladins in the building. Grade Cursed‘s finale — and Season 1 on the whole — via the polls below, then hit the comments with your thoughts! Nimue smells “wrong,” Yeva says, not like Sky Folk, and that Nimue’s father was right to fear his blood. Her mother tells her not to be ashamed, but Nimue points out a major difference: she’s the one called “demon” and “witch.” “Are you the high priestess now or my mother?” Nimue snaps. A young Arthur’s wooden sword fight is interrupted. Adult Arthur rides on his horse through a village, the sword strapped to his back, as passersby speculate he’s there for a tournament. Uh-oh. She refuses Celia’s request to bring the sword to the Cailleach and runs off to find Nimue. The back of her dress slips, revealing the mark of the dark gods. Merlin, who's spent the whole series thus far as a historically magical character with no powers, finally has his magic restored when Nimue dies and he takes the Sword of Power from her. He manages to fill a thermos with the emerald flame, but he isn’t alone in the cave. If the series gets a second season, this watery finale makes it clear we'll explore how Nimue’s powers change and turn her from the Wolf-Blood Witch to the water-bound enchantress we know from literary history. KEEP YOUR WORD | Merlin rides to Uther’s camp ahead of Nimue to try and get a read on whether the king will betray her. In the next memory, Lenora is cleaning the temple as Jonah and his father arrive. “His Grace. Iris, meanwhile, is ushered into the Joining, where the other Fey console her and tell her they’ll be safe from the Red Paladins since the Wolf-Blood Witch is there.

Nimue pieces together why Lenore asked her to bring the sword to Merlin: He’s her father. Pym’s voice apologizes, a childlike “sorry,” but the voice then distorts, becoming deeper and demonic, similar to the deer last episode. Not wanting her sword to fall into the hands of Uther, the Red Paladins or the Ice King, Nimue gives the sword to Morgana for safekeeping and instructs her to flee the castle before anyone notices. Jonah seems disinterested while his father views Lenora as worthless since she has no dowry and there are no offerings in the temple (even though that’s uh, not something she controls — that’s on the worshippers, buddy). Dizier knows Nimue is Fey, and that Morgana sent her — turns out Morgana has been operating a Fey Underground at the abbey and is a key figure in the Resistance (well, that certainly sounds familiar!). In the second memory, Lenore and Merlin are walking through the woods, Lenore casually flirting with him as she asks Merlin about himself. But they have not escaped danger just yet. Nimue lets him go, but not without a scolding from dear mom of course. And this is where we leave Nimue before the episode ends. She wants to be a Red Paladin, but they mock her since she’s a woman and tell her to bring them the Wolf-Blood Witch’s head, laughing. Nimue kicks off with the heavy questions: Did he love her mother? We see a flashback of Lenore rolling the fresh flower between her fingers, an intimate memory for Merlin. The Pendragons and Red Paladins have surrounded her city, while the Ice King’s raiders wait for her on the coast. Merlin (Gustaf Skarsgård) is far from any magician you pictured in your mind. The Widow has had a vision and will not let Merlin destroy the sword in the Fey fire. The Paladins are bathing in the water, having left the sword behind in their wagon (smart move, guys). The Shadow Lords could slow Carden’s march — but it’s not rain, so it’s not good enough. She doesn’t live for the Fey clans anymore, Morgana says, but she isn’t sure who she lives for now. “Even her dad left her,” one remarks, sparking a flashback of a young Nimue pleading with her Papa to come back. He wants him to pass on a message to Uther, the “king of lies,” that the true blood heir to House Pendragon has arrived. The Monk unties Squirrel and instructs him to tell the other Fey what went down. Merlin visits the queen regent in her tower, wanting to tell her the story about the midwife. She throws a Bible at a pot, knocking it over and revealing a necklace inside. He asks her about marriage, but it turns out she’s already been promised to Jonah, though she doesn’t love him. “I was just so hungry,” it says. Arthur is suspicious that the open road is a trap set by the Red Paladins and offers to tag along as protection. He wants Sir Ector’s sponsorship for the tournament, he explains. Kaze urges Nimue to convince Uther to work against the Paladins and Weeping Monk, while Morgana reminds her to listen to the Hidden. Nimue shouts at Benue to get out of her forest as the bow in his hand turns into a snake, tightening its grip around his arm.

Morgana abandons Nimue at the entrance — no man blood permitted. Arthur approaches Nimue, who’s glammed up with lipstick and a new dress for a Joining — a wedding-like event — that night. Iris, wrapped in a red cloth, approaches a group of Red Paladins sitting around a fire in the woods. She gives Nimue a hug and promises her she isn’t alone. She and Dale Moss got engaged and left the show together. A man interrupts to wage a dice bet: if he wins, he gets a kiss. Her introduction is likely a set-up for a love triangle in season 2 between Nimue, Arthur, and Guinevere. Merlin insinuates the midwife is alive and well, under his protection, to the queen regent’s dismay. The Red Paladins are moving north and they’re in their path. Nimue explains that they killed her mother, but blames herself for everything that has happened. (Does anyone else sense a love triangle forming here?)
