Merlin “Beauty and the Beast” Part 2 – Season 3 Episode
This episode of Merlin is a continuation from last week’s Beauty and the Beast. A troll has made her way into the inner circle of the king’s heart using black magic and love potions.
She has a very powerful magic potion she drinks to maintain the illusion of being human. It takes away all her troll warts and her hideousness.
She has moved in quickly and is now the queen. So it is time for the wedding night to happen. King Uther there moves in to make it happen and she puts this crazy little love potion breath she has that puts him right to sleep.
So he does not get to consummate his marriage this night.
Awakening he is ready to go and consummate. The Queen is upset because her father’s seal has been stolen. She accuses Merlin because he knows her secret and is wanting to expose her. So she has to take this enemy out of the equation.
So Merlin is on the run however he must still see that the truth about the new queen comes out before she does any damage.
She is already using her love potion powers over the King. She is in this only for the power and the money. She whispers in the king’s ear that his subjects are too lazy and should have to pay more taxes. King Uther agrees.
He orders his son Arthur to start collecting the taxes from the people. Arthur goes out to do so but what he finds is very disturbing. He finds the people simply can’t afford these new draconian taxes because they’re just too high.
Right now the people favor the king, are loyal, and have much goodwill towards the royal family. If they continue with these ruinous taxes that goodwill will disappear.
He defies his father.
The Queen convinces king Uther that Arthur is too weak. If something is to happen to the king he must not inherit Camelot being so weak. The king being under her love spell agrees and asks if it would make her more comfortable if she were to be heir to the throne.
She heartily agrees.
So the king has a ceremony to tell Arthur that he’s been disinherited and Queen Katrina will be the heir to the throne.
Merlin is very crafty and he sees that she is maintaining this enchantment because of a potion. He sneaks into her room at night and grabs the potion. He instructs Gaius to make one that tastes the same as this but obviously wouldn’t have the enchantment. He sneaks back in in the morning and puts the new potion where the old one had been.
As you might imagine she drinks the placebo and during the disinherentance ceremony she starts to itch and the enchantment fades. Everyone can see her true troll nature now except for the king himself who is still under the love spell.
She is able to use this for quite a while still.
Merlin goes to the Dragon for advice. The dragon informs him that since troll magic is so strong the love spell will only be broken by the king crying a tear of true remorse.
So they hatch a scheme to have Arthur appear dead so King Uther will be able to cry. It’s something like the potion that we saw in Romeo and Juliet. There’s one potion to basically stop your life signs and then an antidote to revive you. And they have 30 minutes to get him the antidote.
So Arthur agrees to do so. King Uther cries tears of joy and realizes he married a troll. Merlin barely gets him a drop of the antidote in time.
But the trolls spell is forever broken and Camelot can be safe again.
