This is my favorite episode so far. Great to see Arthur speak for himself and disobey Uther. The spiders were very creepy, but I thought it was strange that they didn't follow Arthur out of the cave. I also found it unbelievable that Gwen suddenly kissed Merlin. The funny part was when Merlin made a comment on the hug that Gaius and Gwen gave eachoter.
