King Uther is told he has a visitor and he is surprised to see Morgan. Queen Igraine walks into the banquet hall and Morgan calls her a whore and Uther slaps her. Morgan offers to give forgiveness to Uther for murdering her mother and banishing her. Uther tells her that she is no longer welcome home and tells her to leave. During the feast, a Scullery Girl mixes a poison and then pours it into the soup pot. Uther eats from the soup and starts to choke and later dies. In the kitchen, the Scullery Girl transforms into Morgan.

At Uther's castle, Morgan asks Catrain where Igraine is and is told she is in her mourning chamber. He tells her that Uther's men have left and she tells him that he answers to her now. King Lot walks into the castle and has his men take over the castle. Morgan introduces herself as the sole heir of Uther and offers an alliance with Lot. Morgan and Lot have sex and afterwards watch as Igraine is banished from the castle. A Messenger brings a message from Merlin. He tells Morgan and Lot that Merlin asks that they attend Arthur at Camelot.

Lot and Morgan arrive at the castle and Morgan denies that Arthur is Uther's son. Igraine walks into the hall and says that Arthur is her and Uther's son and Lot and Morgan leave. Morgan, Lot, Scotland and others arrive with their armies and Morgan tells Arthur to leave or he will lose everything. Arthur demands their allegiance and respect and Lot has the body of Lot's Outrider brought into the hall and tells Arthur that the Outrider was his eldest son.
