    I have absolutely no ide what to make of that.

    Hmmmmm not a lot given away

    why does morgana think princess mithian is the “perfect bait?”

    • Nimueh123

      She is one of Arthur’s allies, and Arthur is bound by knight’s honour to come to her help if she should be in trouble – I guess!

    A truth’s spell. Omg, imagine that? But I don’t know how that would link to Mithian :l

  • Nimueh123

    I think that Morgana might appear in Camelot in Mithian’s form – remember the witch in episode 1 did that when she posed as the singer. Surely Morgana could master that little spell, too. Of course Arthur cannot refuse helping Mithian if she needs help. For one he is a knight and bound by honour to help a friend, but I assume -grin – that he also might still feel slighty remorseful for turning her down.

      I really liked mithian. arthur has had his pick of some pretty special and beautiful girls in these series…however I am such a gwen fan — long live the queen!

      • Nimueh123

        Yeah, I loved Mithian, too. If it hadn’t been for Gwen, she would have been a perfect queen for Arthur.

        Just found this on the TV Times site:
        ‘Using an ageing spell, Morgana adopts the guise of Princess Mithian’s maid Hilda and then forces Mithian to return to Camelot to ask Arthur to rescue her father who is in hiding in the forests of Gedref.’
