If their Dad was going to work on a Saturday, then Scott and Virgil were determined he would be in a good mood when he got home again.
There are times when only a big brother can help. When something seems to be on John's mind, Scott steps up to the challenge.
All Scott wanted was for everyone to be quiet so nothing else could go wrong. That was apparently too much to ask.
First the woodworm. Then the council meeting. Then the recklessness in the forest. It was not a king's place to admit to being worried about his servant. Yet there was something wrong with Merlin, of that Arthur was sure.
It's known that Prince Arthur of Camelot can withstand any sort of physical torture. But his servant has not had the same training. And no one can be trained to watch a friend suffer. But when Cenred holds them both captive, lessons are learnt the hard way. Episode twist of 3x07.
When Parker refused to take Lady Penelope out in the car, Scott knew the only gentlemanly thing to do was offer instead.
If Arthur died, he had failed in his destiny. If Arthur lived... What future did he have if the king wouldn't forgive him for the lies? But there was a way he could still make it right. Twist of 5x13.
"All you do is sit around waiting for rescues." Alan should have known saying something like that was a red flag to a bull. There was no way his brothers were going to let the insult slide.
Merlin didn't want to admit it but he was worried. How could Arthur rule the kingdom when he couldn't even look after himself any more?
It was all over. The rescue complete and everyone back safe and sound, finally. Yet it didn't seem as if everything had yet been put behind them entirely.
Sometimes, it doesn't matter how much planning is done. Brothers come first, no matter what. Happy birthday, Sam!
He didn't have Scott asking why. He didn't have Gordon crying. How hard could it be to be left with his two middle sons? Happy birthday, Angel-Sue!
Something seemed to be playing on Merlin's mind and Arthur was determined to get to the bottom of it. For one thing; he was his friend, king and master. For another thing; reports were boring and it seemed like a better thing to do.
His friends all fell prey to old age. And yet Merlin was doomed to live a life alone. How long could forever stretch on for when waiting for one's destiny? Paranoid rating for sensitive topics.
He hadn't been there as their father when they needed him. But that was about to change.
