It still doesn't beat The Evil Day for me, but I loved it, too. I was so proud of Arthur as well, that he never backed down, never apologized to Uther for the changes he has made. And:
The scene where Merlin asks Arthur if he looked back at his father... I don't know why it hit me so hard, but I think this is one of my favorite scenes, ever. Merlin pushing and pushing, sorry to be hurting Arthur but determined to make him see the truth. Arthur's denial slowly crumbling against what he already knows in his heart is true. Bradley James, your face owns my life.
This one hit me hard, too. So well acted. And then Uther's line about Arthur's greatest fault being that he trusts people too much. AH. Mordred. AH. And yet, Arthur could never be any other way and still be the person that Merlin and all of Camelot love so much.
