In the next sneak peek clip of the all-new episode of Merlin, Morgana is prompted down an eerie hallway by whispers into a room where Morgause appears. Morgana describes a dream that she fears is instead a nightmare of Gwen sitting next to Arthur on the throne and being named queen. Morgause tells her it must be a prophecy because Morgana has a true gift and it shouldn’t be ignored. Morgana says it can’t possibly become true because Gwen is simply a servant. Morgause wants to make it look like she is helping when really she is seeking to stir drama and claims Morgana must destroy Gwen no matter her relationship with Arthur. Watch the clip and tune in on Friday at 10/9c on Syfy to see if Morgana decides to carry out Morgause’s demand or if she decides to halt making her own drastic action.

And don’t forget that tonight there is a new Being Human followed by an interesting Stargate Universe!
