Summary
Out of instinct honed by a decade of battle and split-second decisions, Arthur whirls around, and is promptly faced with the sight of Merlin—Merlin, who trips over about ten things an hour and cannot lie to save his life and has proven his loyalty to Arthur in a thousand different ways—thrusting the ceremonial sword towards Arthur’s chest.
The very air seems to have stilled.
Or: Merlin tries to kill Arthur, courtesy of the Fomorrah, and this time, Gwen and Gaius don't get to Merlin soon enough to knock him out.

Summary
Uther is dead, Merlin feels guilty and Arthur is a bit terrified. Arthur is about to be crowned King, which implies changes, and both Arthur and Merlin fear them.

Or
What crossed Merlin and Arthur's minds during the 'You are a loyal friend' scene? What happened after Arthur suggested having breakfast together at the end of The Wicked Day? How did Merlin and Arthur live Arthur's coronation? And how come Merlin kept being Arthur's manservant after he was crowned King, if kings don't usually have a single manservant?
