NIMUEH'S CAVE
Nimueh spoke a spell. "Berbay odothay arisan yeldo."
She placed a magic egg, containing an afanc she sculpted, into water. It travelled through underground waterways to a manmade cavern. Nimueh watched Camelot from her water basin.
"Diegol cnytte, gewitte me yst, aliese hine, to Camelot he cymþ."
LOWER TOWN
Gaius and Merlin looked over corpse in the street.
"Aren't you scared?" Merlin asked.
"Of what?" Gaius wondered.
"That you might catch whatever it is."
"I'm the court physician, Merlin. This is part of my job. Most of the time there's nothing really to be scared of." He turned over the corpse to reveal a white skinned, white eyed face.
He glanced at Gaius. "You were saying?"
"People mustn't see this. They will panic."
GUINEVERE'S HOUSE
Gwen and her father got ready at home.
"Dad, here's your sandwich," Gwen said.
"Ooh. Mmm, what's in it?" Tom asked.
"It's smoked pigeon. But I'd say there's more smoke than pigeon."
Tom laughed. "You're such a good girl to me."
"And I've done you some watercress soup tonight."
"Don't tell me, with more water in it than cress?"
She laughed and they hugged. "I'll see you later."
"Okay. Bye."
EXT. OUTSIDE DRAWBRIDGE - DAY
Merlin and Gaius wheeled the body over the castle drawbridge.
Gwen approached, carrying the flowers she had at home and asked, "What are you doing?"
"Er... just moving something," Merlin replied.
"Looks heavy."
"Earm, it's nothing really. Erm... did someone got you flowers?"
"Oh! No." She giggled. "Would you like one? A purple one. Purple suits you. Not that I'm saying red doesn't suit you." She noticed Eliora walking up. "Elli, would you like one?"
Eliora smiled and nodded and was given a flower which she stuck in her hair.
"Thanks. Well, er..."
Merlin stuck the flower in his scarf. Gwen smiled.
"Er... see you," Merlin said as Eliora waved.
"Bye," Gwen replied.
Eliora looked confused at Merlin's behaviour before walking away.
MORGANA'S CHAMBERS
Gwen entered with flowers and Morgana said, "You look happy."
"I picked these for you," Gwen told her.
"Oh, that's so sweet."
"Something to cheer you up. I know you're not sleeping well."
"You cheer me up."
"Would you like me to put them in water for you?"
GAIUS' CHAMBERS
Merlin and Gaius were looking at the body with a magnifying glass.
