The Coming of Arthur - Part One is the twelfth episode of the third season of the British fantasy-adventure television show Merlin. The series is based on the Arthurian legends, and it follows the story of a young warlock named Merlin (Colin Morgan) as he protects the young prince Arthur Pendragon (Bradley James) as he grows into the King that legend tells us he was meant to be.

In this episode, the kingdom of Camelot is teetering on the brink of war as the ruthless Morgause (Emilia Fox) prepares to launch a major attack on the city. The stakes are high as two magical swords that were originally created by Merlin's father, Balinor, have been discovered and are up for grabs by Morgause and her forces.

King Uther Pendragon (Anthony Head) realizes that he needs to put his pride and stubbornness aside if he wants to save his beloved kingdom. Thus, he puts his trust in Merlin as he knows that he is the only one capable of finding the way to stop Morgause.

Meanwhile, the young Arthur is determined to prove himself as a worthy warrior to his father and his troops. He decides to lead a group of knights to fight Morgause and her followers. Merlin knows that Arthur is not ready for the challenge, but he cannot reveal the real reason why.

With danger lurking around every corner, Merlin takes matters into his own hands and sets out to find the one thing that can help them win the battle against Morgause - the legendary sword of Excalibur. He sets out on a perilous journey to retrieve the sword, but he has no idea of the challenges that await him.

As Morgause's forces arrive on the outskirts of Camelot, a fierce battle takes place. Arthur's group struggles to hold their own, and it seems that all hope is lost. But then, Merlin arrives with Excalibur, and the tide of the battle turns in Camelot's favor.

The episode ends on a cliffhanger as Morgause's sister, the sorceress Morgana (Katie McGrath), reveals herself to be a traitor to her own city and delivers a crippling blow to Camelot. Her treachery sets up the stage for an epic finale in the following installment.

In conclusion, The Coming of Arthur - Part One is one of the most thrilling episodes of Merlin. It features epic battles, stunning visuals, and strong character development. It adds to the build-up towards the eventual conclusion of the series and leaves viewers on the edge of their seats.
