Bonus crack gag reel:

Gwen: "Merlin, I think we both know that this relationship isn't working."

Merlin: "?"

Gwen: "I've come to realize that you only feel that way for one man in particular."

NotGay!Merlin: "What? Who? Gwen you misunder--"

Gwen: *teary-eyed* "It's alright Merlin, I understand. You and Arthur have intertwined destinies that are written in the stars WAHHHHH"

Merlin: "!!!"
